Quotes 

• DCI John Barnaby : How much would you pay for a rabbit?

  DS Jamie Winter : Am I keeping it or eating it?

  DCI John Barnaby : You're breeding it. I've just had a very interesting conversation with the chair of MIDSPA: the Midsomer Small Pets Association. Hercules had been offered out to stud through their Rabbit Registry.

  DS Jamie Winter : A dating agency for rabbits. And they say romance is dead.

• [Sarah is looking after Bernie, a stuffed-toy badger which is the mascot of Betty's playgroup. John comes into the kitchen to find that Paddy, their new dog, has ripped the toy badger to shreds] 

  DCI John Barnaby : Paddy, you didn't?

  [Paddy looks very guilty] 

  DCI John Barnaby : You did!

  Sarah Barnaby : Oh no!

  DCI John Barnaby : Sarah, it's probably not as bad as it looks.

  Sarah Barnaby : Tell that to Angela-blooming-Besbrode! She took Bernie up a mountain and he barely lost a stitch. Five minutes in the Barnaby household, and look at him!

  DCI John Barnaby : It's been a bad week for small animals. First a rabbit-napping and now a dog-on-badger hate crime.

• DS Jamie Winter : It's all lovely. Lovely Seb Huntington, the lovely estate agent...

  DCI John Barnaby : Suspicious for a start.

  DS Jamie Winter : In a lovely relationship with his lovely girlfriend who works for the lovely pet show which everybody loves. Lovely.

  DCI John Barnaby : Except for the dead body covered in rabbits.
