Samantha Stewart : [Sam has come to pick up her boss from the SOE HQ] Good afternoon sir!
DCS Christopher Foyle : Glad to see you!
Samantha Stewart : I was rather worried they weren't going to let you out.
DCS Christopher Foyle : So was I.
Samantha Stewart : So what do they actually do here?
DCS Christopher Foyle : You wouldn't believe me, if I told you.
Samantha Stewart : Are you going to?
DCS Christopher Foyle : No.

Samantha Stewart : [to Milner] Do you know what you two need?
[meaning him and Foyle]
Samantha Stewart : Something to take your mind off things. A jolly good murder.
[laughs]
Samantha Stewart : That'd do it.

Samantha Stewart : [Foyle and Sam are about to leave for Levenham to investigate a lead] Leavenham? In Hampshire?
DCS Christopher Foyle : Which is where you and I are off to.
Samantha Stewart : Well, that's where my uncle lives. He's the vicar at St Mary's.
[points to a spot on the wall map]
Sergeant Paul Milner : The same as your father?

Samantha Stewart : [to Foyle] You can't believe anything you read in the papers these days. If it's not the Ministry of Information cutting everything out, it's all just propaganda.
[sighs]
Samantha Stewart : Won't you miss it, sir?
[referring to Foyle's impending transfer]
DCS Christopher Foyle : [replies wearily] The Chronicle?
Samantha Stewart : All this, police work.
[Foyle's telephone rings, saving him]
Samantha Stewart : I mean, if you join Naval Intelligence, it's all just paperwork.
DCS Christopher Foyle : [holds up a finger to Sam and answers the phone] Yes... . Right... . Thank you, on our way.
Samantha Stewart : [continues determinedly as Foyle gets up to leave] I mean, do you see what I mean? Here we go again. You never know what's around the corner in this job.
DCS Christopher Foyle : That's enough, end of conversation. The subject's off limits, thank you.
[they leave]
