Quotes 

• DCI Tom Barnaby : [going to his car]  Do not feel just because it's Christmas, you can't give us a call, OK? Anything serious happens, I want to know about it, understood?

  Sergeant Dan Scott : Yeah, got the message, sir. What are you looking for, an escape from the in-laws?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : [turning around and giving him a knowing wink]  Now, don't you overdo this evening, all right? Things have a habit of happening around Christmas time, and you may have to be razor sharp in the morning.

• [last lines] 

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Any chance of a mince pie, Joyce?

  Joyce Barnaby : In the oven. There's brandy butter and cream on the side.

• DCI Tom Barnaby : Do we know if the landing lights were turned on?

  Sergeant Dan Scott : They were not, sir. The switch nearest Miss Villiers's room wasn't working. Looks like the whole place could do with rewiring or knocking down.

• DCI Tom Barnaby : No sign of him yet. Enjoy it while ye may.

  Joyce Barnaby : I heard that. You will try to be patient with him this year, won't you? He doesn't always know what you're saying.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Cor, not much he doesn't.
