- James Kavanagh QC: [Coming out of the bathroom into the bedroom and wagging his finger] If you say I told you so...
- Lizzie Kavanagh: [Lying in bed] It's just that...

- Lizzie Kavanagh: ... I don't know, you seem to go out of your way to find the maximum aggravation.

- James Kavanagh QC: A private prosecution? For murder?
- Paddy Spence: Aye... and I want you to do it for free.
- James Kavanagh QC: Ha-ha. do you know?
- Paddy Spence: What are old friends for... especially if they're loaded?
- James Kavanagh QC: You always were a cheeky sod.
- Paddy Spence: Aye, but irresistable though.
- Paddy Spence: I don't know about you, but I can't stand to see an arrogant sod get away with murder.
