[last lines]
Joyce Barnaby : Funnily enough, Rose Southerly once asked *me* if I'd like to help out at the cookery school.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Doing what, exactly?
Joyce Barnaby : I'm not sure. I wouldn't want to act out that perfect wife stuff; God knows I get enough of that at home. And I couldn't do Celia Patchett's damsel in distress act. Ugh, so demeaning. But Ginny Lamington's routine, dishing out a bit of discipline, *that* I could handle.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Really?
-
Rev. Suze : It's so important to talk things through without being judged, I think.
DCI Tom Barnaby : I do so agree. I was hoping that, uh, we could talk through the fact that you didn't tell us you went for a jog on Monday afternoon.
Rev. Suze : Oh God, I knew this would happen.
DCI Tom Barnaby : I'm sure God knows all about it, but I don't.
-
Rev. Suze : I'm pretty oblivious when I'm jogging.
[Pointing skyward]
Rev. Suze : Quality time with the boss, you see.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Sorry?
Rev. Suze : [Condescendingly] Prayer, Inspector. We still do it, you know.
[to Jones and Barnaby as she starts off]
Rev. Suze : Catch you later, guys.
DCI Tom Barnaby : [Deadpan] Yes. Catch you later.
-
Rose Southerly : You must have a very low opinion of me, Inspector.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Oh, I'm a policeman, Mrs. Southerly. I leave the judging to someone else.
-
Rev. Suze : Hello, you look a bit lost.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Uh, no.
Rev. Suze : Nothing to be ashamed of. I come here all the time, and I still get in a bit of a muddle. Susan Wicking. I'm the vicar of Elverton-cum-Latterly. Everyone calls me Rev. Suze. I'm here every Saturday, 12 till 2. Sorry, would you mind?
[grabs Barnaby's hand and mumbles a prayer]
Rev. Suze : Thank you so much for that. Brilliant meeting you.
Joyce Barnaby : [walks over] What was all that about?
DCI Tom Barnaby : We were praying you'd find the horseradish.
