Blanche Copley-Barnes : [after identifying her husband's umbrella] Well, do we make the proverbial noises now?
Chief Inspector Morse : I'm sorry?
Blanche Copley-Barnes : Well aren't we supposed to say "would you like a drink?" so you can say "not while I'm on duty" then I provide tea instead?
Detective Sergeant Lewis : Tea would go down nicely...
Chief Inspector Morse : [interrupting Lewis abruptly] We don't have time, I'm afraid.

Detective Sergeant Lewis : Why didn't he come to us about his kid?
Chief Inspector Morse : They owned him, he had no power. Not a soul would have believed him.

Sylvie Maxton : [playing the piano as Morse looks at a photo album] The Copely-Barnes years. Touching, aren't they?
Chief Inspector Morse : They seem idyllic.
Sylvie Maxton : They were, in a way. Only I didn't get the best out of them. Rather like learning this... for the fingering. And not knowing till much later what it meant.
