Quotes
-
Chief Superintendent Strange : You can be a prat, can't ya?
Chief Inspector Morse : I expect so.
Chief Superintendent Strange : What's this about forging a letter?
Chief Inspector Morse : I forged a letter from the Craven girl.
Chief Superintendent Strange : Brilliant.
Chief Inspector Morse : I was trying to make something happen..
Chief Superintendent Strange : Well, something has happened. And what about the girl, anything?
[Morse shrugs]
Chief Superintendent Strange : I say to you, "Don't bother the Craven family." The first thing you do is bother the Craven family. You sit at Oxford, forging letters and boozing when the girl was last seen in London. You enter a flat without a warrant. And now the deputy head of the school has been bumped off. It's a bit of a shambles, really Morse, isn't it? And do you know who did it?
Chief Inspector Morse : No.
Chief Superintendent Strange : No. Don't let me hear any more dirt on you, mate. Do I have to ask you to report to my desk every morning and breathe in my face?
Chief Inspector Morse : No, sir.
Chief Superintendent Strange : Find the girl. Find who did this and don't prat about.
Chief Inspector Morse : Who told you... about the letter?
Chief Superintendent Strange : Look, I'm the Chief Super. If somebody asks for whiskey in a coffee mug, I know about it even before he's drunk it. That's my job. You do yours.
