Quotes
-
Bernadette Sullivan : One of the intriguing things about English common law is that it's a mess. The further you go back, the bigger the mess.
Simon Bartlett : I don't think a history lesson's gonna solve anything.
Bernadette Sullivan : We don't need a solution, just the mess.
-
Bernadette Sullivan : I'm not some criminal you've pulled in off the street, Chief Inspector...
DCI Tom Barnaby : I find criminals in very unexpected places, Miss Sullivan. May even be, if Mister Bartlett isn't a suspect, you still are.
-
Bernadette Sullivan : What is the decent period for abstaining from carnal knowledge of your mistress when your wife dies? If she'd walked out of here, you'd have thrown a party.
Simon Bartlett : It's not that simple.
Bernadette Sullivan : Why not? Unless you killed her.
Simon Bartlett : Of course I didn't kill her.
Bernadette Sullivan : Well, you're a bit weak in the alibi department, darling. I only hope you can convince Barnaby.
-
DCI Tom Barnaby : You do admit he wasn't there.
Bernadette Sullivan : I made a mistake.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Not something a distinguished lawyer should make mistakes about.
Bernadette Sullivan : I made mistakes much dumber than that. I believed a weak man was something else. I believed he wasn't still in love with the dull, stupid woman he married.

Bernadette Sullivan : [James knocks off Bernadette's side mirror] What the hell are you doing?
James Harrington : There's a footpath there, not a car park. You'll know what trespass is.
Bernadette Sullivan : Mr. Harrington, you'd be very unwise to allow them to start felling trees.
James Harrington : Just a bit of preliminary work. They move in next week, but that hasn't got anything to do with you or anybody.
Bernadette Sullivan : We will be going back to court.
James Harrington : You fired all your guns.
Bernadette Sullivan : Oh no. You don't know how much the next salvo's going to cost you.
