Compartido contigo
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Hector Bridges has lost a goose. I say you nicked it.
- Orville Tudway: No.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: What, then?
- Orville Tudway: It just sort of slid into my arms and died.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: This is not a good day to be cute with me.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: You reported it the first time it happened, seven years ago, when you were married to him. And you, Mr. Saxby, were married to Jenny Bridges, which makes you Fleur's father.
- Will Saxby: It's no secret. You could ask anyone in the village.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Yeah, I'm just showing off.
- Sgt. Gavin Troy: Well, at least she's honest, sir.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Honesty can be as big a smokescreen as deceit, Troy. Another brick.
- Sgt. Gavin Troy: Will I be able to see over this wall when I'm finished?
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Of course, you will. Education makes you taller.
- Sgt. Gavin Troy: I think we're on a wild goose chase, sir.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: One of us had to say it, Troy. I guessed it would be you.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Now listen, you lot. I want no thieving, no fighting and no dumping of rubbish on England's green and pleasant land. Is that clear?
- [pause]
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: I take that silence to mean yes.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Hector Bridges has lost a goose. I say you nicked it.
- Orville Tudway: No.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: What, then?
- Orville Tudway: It just sort of slid into my arms and died.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: This is not a good day to be cute with me.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Don't worry, Troy. Hector Bridges is a bully, pure and simple. What we need to fight him is a bit of brains.
- Sgt. Gavin Troy: Another brick in the wall of my education, sir?
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: I'll search the other vans here. You take the Smith mob.
- Sgt. Gavin Troy: Hang on a minute. Why do you want to split up?
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Well, it's the most division of labor.
- Sgt. Gavin Troy: Oh, I see. And the minute my back is turned, you won't wolf down that Mars bar.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Troy, I am now a policeman investigating a murder. What Mars bar?
- Sgt. Gavin Troy: The one in the glove compartment that you thought I hadn't noticed.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Oh, damn.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: I'm dreading this, you know.
- Cully Barnaby: That's what you said last time.
- [enters shop]
- Cully Barnaby: Hi, we were looking for a pair of chinos a couple of weeks ago.
- Shop Assistant: Hmm. I remember. We didn't have them in the gentleman's size.
- Joyce Barnaby: You will now.
- Shop Assistant: I'm afraid we only have the one color left, madam.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Do I look like a red trouser man to you?
- Shop Assistant: Meaning no offense, sir, you're more the Calvary twill sort.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: You got on my nerves last time I was in here.
- Joyce Barnaby: Tom!
- Cully Barnaby: Dad, lunch, Carlos's, Temple Street.
- Shop Assistant: And I remember sir comparing us unfavorably to Marks and Spencer.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: The day you can offer as much choice...
- Cully Barnaby: He's doing coq au vin with bread and butter pudding.
