- DCI John Barnaby: [to DS Nelson] These were carefully planned, cold-blooded murders, very different from throwing a jug or even stabbing someone in the heat of the moment. Not that I'm saying it's OK to throw things at your boss, you understand.
- [Barnaby has just received a call from Nelson about suspeicious activity at the pub]
- Sarah Barnaby: Uh, what time do you want to eat?
- DCI John Barnaby: Later, if it's OK with you; I'm going to the pub with Nelson.
- Sarah Barnaby: Oh, right. So that's how it's going to be from now on, is it? I stay here with the dog and the baby, whilst you go boozing with your mates.
- DCI John Barnaby: No. Sykes is welcome to come to the pub with me whenever he wants.
- [Sarah smiles]
- DCI John Barnaby: We thought this case was about money or anger or revenge, but it was about something much more dangerous... Love.
- [last lines]
- DS Charlie Nelson: Hey, got the report back on Ferdy's magic mushrooms, by the way. They weren't the hallucinogenic type. You could smoke them, eat them on toast, cook them in an omelet; they'd have had no effect.
- DCI John Barnaby: Not so magic after all, then.
- Lizzy Thornfield: They tell you time is a great healer, but that's a lie. When you lose someone you love, really truly love, the pain never goes away.
- Sarah Barnaby: Oh, right, that's how it's gonna be from now on is it? I stay here with the dog and the baby whilst you go boozing with your mates?
- DCI John Barnaby: No, Sykes is welcome to come to the pub with me whenever he wants.
- DCI John Barnaby: Thank you for coming in, Mr. Iver.
- Nick Iver: Did I have a choice?
- DS Charlie Nelson: For the moment, yeah.
