  Joyce Barnaby : Leave!

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Yeah, just you and me together go away somewhere for a while.

  Joyce Barnaby : You mean somewhere like... Bournemouth?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : No, I don't mean somewhere like Bournemouth. I thought, if they're going away to New Zealand for a honeymoon, why don't we beat them to it?
