DCI John Barnaby : I found the ladies of Midsomer Pastures Prep School Parents' Council to be restrained...
Sarah Barnaby : Um-hmm.
DCI John Barnaby : and intriguing.
Sarah Barnaby : Sylvia Mountford's Yummy Mummy Squad; I've heard all about them.

DCI John Barnaby : In a way, you know, this was all your fault.
DS Ben Jones : How?
DCI John Barnaby : I picked up my ring during my lunch hour.
DS Ben Jones : Yeah?
DCI John Barnaby : So, I was admiring the ring in one hand, and I had my sandwich in the other hand, and Sykes at my feet.

DCI John Barnaby : Because that was the moment that *you* phoned my up. And somehow in the confusion I fed the rest of my sandwich and the ring to the dog.
[Jones starts to laugh]
DCI John Barnaby : We're not that off duty, Jones.
DS Ben Jones : Look, nature took it's course; there's no harm done.
DCI John Barnaby : And no-one need ever be any the wiser.
DS Ben Jones : Okay.

DS Ben Jones : There were two numbers she dialed regularly. Greg Brantner - he runs the dairy - and Oliver Ordish.
DCI John Barnaby : Ordish. Any relation to...
DS Ben Jones : Beatrix's husband, yeah. But it was Greg she was calling on the night she died. Four calls between 5:32 and 7:55.
DCI John Barnaby : He was her boss.
DS Ben Jones : You're my boss but I don't feel the need to call you all hours of the day and night.
DCI John Barnaby : Let's keep it like that.
