Quotes
-
Samantha Stewart : They said you drove Milner and his wife to the hospital, sir?
DCS Christopher Foyle : I did.
Samantha Stewart : But I thought you couldn't drive. Are you telling me that all these years...?
DCS Christopher Foyle : Well, I've never actually ever at any time said I couldn't drive, I mean, I just preferred not to.
Samantha Stewart : S-so you never really needed me?
DCS Christopher Foyle : I wouldn't say that.
-
DCS Christopher Foyle : Having evaded the draft, murdered a member of the medical profession, tried to avoid detection to feather your own nest, I'd have said that you were a born politician. But the law being what it is, hanging is perhaps the very best way you can serve your country.
-
Sgt. Paul Milner : How was the committee?
DCS Christopher Foyle : Well, a complete waste of time. A lot of talk about nothing in particular, no action at the end of it, so more or less as expected really.
-
Hilda Pierce : You like to inhabit dangerous territory, Mr Foyle.
DCS Christopher Foyle : Well, not by choice.
Hilda Pierce : Well, this time even you should tread carefully. I've stuck my neck out for you, and I have to say I felt a very cold breeze indeed. Operation Tiger, does that mean anything to you?
DCS Christopher Foyle : M-might.
Hilda Pierce : Slapton Sands in Devon.
DCS Christopher Foyle : What happened there?
Hilda Pierce : Nothing happened there. That's the official verdict, and that's the way it shall remain for many years to come.
DCS Christopher Foyle : Unofficially?
Hilda Pierce : You never spoke to me, I never gave you this, and it would be better if nobody ever found out you knew anything about it.
DCS Christopher Foyle : All right.
Hilda Pierce : Just remember: a war always hides a great many dirty secrets. This has been a long war, and this secret's very dirty indeed.

Andrew Foyle : All hell's breaking loose outside. You ought to come and join us.
Samantha Stewart : I will. I'm going to dance *all* night.
Andrew Foyle : Will you dance with me?
Samantha Stewart : I'll dance with anybody.
[pause]
Samantha Stewart : But especially you.
Andrew Foyle : You coming, Dad?
DCS Christopher Foyle : No, I'll catch you up. You go on.
Andrew Foyle : Alright.
Samantha Stewart : Are you sure? We'll never find you.
DCS Christopher Foyle : I'll make sure you do. Off you go.
Samantha Stewart : Andrew.
-
Hilda Pierce : You said you wanted my help; that makes a pleasant change.
DCS Christopher Foyle : Well, since you've been so very unhelpful on two separate occasions during the course of the war so far, I thought I'd give you the opportunity to make up for it.
Hilda Pierce : Point taken.
-
DCS Christopher Foyle : What's going on?
Sgt Brooke : Oh, nothing, sir. It's, uh, in the... It's just a, a cartoon, sir. You probably don't read it. Jane.
DCS Christopher Foyle : Jane, right. Not a stitch on today, so I see. You'd probably notice that.
Sgt Brooke : Yes, sir. The, uh, lads and I were just commenting on it. I suppose it's, uh, to mark the end of the war.
DCS Christopher Foyle : Well, not a moment too soon, if that's anything to go by.
-
Andrew Foyle : Poor Dad, it could only happen to you.
DCS Christopher Foyle : What do you mean?
Andrew Foyle : The whole country preparing for a giant knees up and once again you're stuck with the body in the library.
DCS Christopher Foyle : It was in the museum.

Michael Brown : [Annoyed] I don't know, really; dragging me back here on a Sunday!
DCS Christopher Foyle : [Sarcastically] So inconsiderate getting yourself murdered on a weekend, isn't it?
