DCI Tom Barnaby : Birkett... I know that name!
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Oh, he'd a been around in your time.
DCI Tom Barnaby : It is still my time, Troy!
-
DCI Tom Barnaby : Find out who made the anonymous phone calls?
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Some of the kids think it's a man called Birkett. Ex-copper, retired. I've spoken to him. He denies it, but you could be right. Busybody. Doesn't like the way the village has gone. Too many newcomers.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Birkett . I know that name.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Oh, he'd have been around in your time.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Still is my time, Troy.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : I didn't mean...
DCI Tom Barnaby : Came across his name today or yesterday in the land of the living, not in the land that time forgot.

DCI Tom Barnaby : PC Burkett, he was the village constable who reported Eric Edwards was missing in 1965.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : CID didn't do much of a job.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Well, I suppose if you set out not looking for a body, you're not very likely to find one, are you?
-
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Do you think you ought to take over?
DCI Tom Barnaby : You have still got to ask Tom a lot of questions. And if I were you I'd get about it quick before his lawyer arrives.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Lord Fitzgibbon?
DCI Tom Barnaby : Hmm. He is very sure that Tom didn't do it. Came to see me last night at home.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : That's a bit rich.
DCI Tom Barnaby : It is. So I did assure him that you would treat Tom with sensitivity. I could have said with your usual sensitivity, but he doesn't know you as well as I do.

DCI Tom Barnaby : Troy, do you want me to open that for you?
Sergeant Gavin Troy : [opens the envelope and breaks into a broad smile] I've got it. Inspector Troy!
[spills his coffee]
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Oh. What does, uh, Mr. Hopkins want?
DCI Tom Barnaby : Superintendent Hopkins .. well, I imagine he wants you to talk about, well, considering taking that job in Newcastle.
[pause]
DCI Tom Barnaby : Find out.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : You knew.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Well, there was circumstantial evidence and I thought, well, with you going, Troy, I'd better start, uh, rehoning my detective skills.

[last lines]
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Thank you, sir. I mean, thank you for everything, over the years. I don't think I'd be where I am if... Well, you know what I mean.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Ah, rubbish. Admittedly it took me a long time to get you trained, but when I'd finally done it... Now I know how much I've, uh, I've relied on you, Troy.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Midsomer will miss you.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : And I'll miss Midsomer.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Good luck.

Sergeant Gavin Troy : [discussing the murdered Simon Mayfield] His ex-girlfriend was on to something. They split up about two months ago.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Because he was...
Sergeant Gavin Troy : At it with some slapper.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Oh, that's very elegantly put, Troy.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Her words. But she didn't know who it was.
