Laura Howard: Cully Barnaby

Quotes 

• Cully Barnaby : Typical family day out, really. We arrive somewhere and ten minutes later a serious crime is committed. Exit the old man.

  Joyce Barnaby : I think he plans it that way.

• [first lines] 

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Oh no. The world and his wife's here.

  Cully Barnaby : Kind of the idea, Dad. Couple of drinks, though, and you won't notice them.

  Joyce Barnaby : [referring to passing yacht]  Now that's the sort of thing, Tom. Only maybe more old-fashioned and stylish.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Yeah, that'll be it. Your mother thinks I need to relax more; weekends on the river, our own boat perhaps.

  Cully Barnaby : It's a good idea. D'you know, there's loads for sale in the local paper.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Is this a conspiracy? In my job you get ten years for that.

• Cully Barnaby : Right, the home team. Furthest from us: Midsomer Rowing Club Veterans.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : [puts opera glasses to his eyes]  They're not veterans! They're half our age! Joyce!

• [Joyce Barnaby and Cully Barnaby are looking over the boats as they walk along the riverside] 

  Joyce Barnaby : That one would be too modern for your father. He'll want brass and mahogany everywhere.

  [spies a decrepit old yacht] 

  Joyce Barnaby : Like that one for example.

  Cully Barnaby : It's a bit tatty, mom.

  Joyce Barnaby : Oh... Nothing a coat of varnish won't cure!
