- DI Robert Lewis: Between us, we make a not-bad detective.
- [ironically]
- DI Robert Lewis: I'm the brains, obviously.
- DS James Hathaway: [chuckling] Obviously.
- Dr. Laura Hobson: No James today?
- DI Robert Lewis: He's in court.
- Dr. Laura Hobson: Knickers off clothes lines again? Let's hope the judge shows leniency.
- Scarlett Mortmaigne: [Seeing Hathaway running after her out of the bookstore with a forgotten credit card] I thought for a moment you chased me to declare your undying love.
- DS James Hathaway: Not sure men do that nowadays, do they?
- Scarlett Mortmaigne: Perhaps they should.
- DI Robert Lewis: [Referring to Hathaway to Dr. Hobson] Ah, he's an awkward sod at the best of times, God knows, but he's my awkward sod. I don't want to go through all the palaver of getting another sergeant house-trained.
- DS James Hathaway: [Meeting by chance in bookstore] I'm not following you... honestly.
- Scarlett Mortmaigne: You don't have to deny it quite so vehemently.
- DS James Hathaway: And what about you and me? What was that? Your way of getting close to the investigation?
- Scarlett Mortmaigne: You don't really think - you're not one of us.
- DS James Hathaway: No.
- Scarlett Mortmaigne: Take me out somewhere - tonight. Anywhere. I don't care.
- DS James Hathaway: Is that wise?
- Scarlett Mortmaigne: I don't want to be wise. I want to be happy. I want to drink too much and laugh too much and... please?
- Dr. Laura Hobson: I'm a game girl, God knows, but picking through brain and bone before breakfast I call above and beyond.
- DS James Hathaway: I wouldn't read too much into the "goodbye cruel world," sir. Statistically, the incidence of suicide notes in Graham's demographic is in the 12 to 20 percent range...
- DI Robert Lewis: Where do you get this stuff?
- DS James Hathaway: The back of cereal boxes... What?
- DI Robert Lewis: Let's just say some days I'm very grateful you're on our side.
- DI Robert Lewis: If you're wondering why you're 20 years older than Hathaway and still a DC, take a look in the mirror.
- DC Hooper: What does that mean?
- DI Robert Lewis: It means you've got a small mind and a big mouth, and you don't know when to keep one open and the other one shut.
- DI Robert Lewis: Why do I get the feeling there's a "however" coming?
- Frances Woodville: [smiling] Because I suspect you're much smarter than you look.
- [Lewis gives her a slightly surprised and distressed look]
- Frances Woodville: It's a compliment.
- DI Robert Lewis: Back-handed!
