• [Andrew Maplin, the curate, is known to have very hard-line, intolerant views about Christianity and was vigorously opposed to Gideon's magic show in the church. Andrew, the vicar and the choir are standing outside the church singing a hymn] 

  DCI John Barnaby : That must be Andrew Maplin standing next to the vicar.

  DS Charlie Nelson : He's been busy posting comments on Gideon's website - real fire and brimstone stuff.

  DCI John Barnaby : [sarcastically]  We'll talk to him when he's finished singing about love and mercy.

• [Barnaby has been minding their baby while Sarah was out] 

  Sarah Barnaby : So, how did you get on?

  DCI John Barnaby : Betty finished her bottle, and Sykes enjoyed his bone. Or was it the other way round?

• DCI John Barnaby : On the whole, Nelson, I'm glad your parents didn't encourage you to pursue a career in magic.

  DS Charlie Nelson : It's never too late for a change of direction, sir.

• [last lines] 

  DCI John Barnaby : [Sykes pulls down an empty tray]  Oh, Sykesie, what are you doing? Come h- Sykes. Sykes.

  [Sykes grabs sausage links] 

  Sarah Barnaby : It's the art of misdirection canine style.

  DCI John Barnaby : [chasing Sykes]  Sykesie, come back with those sausages! Sykesie!
