DS Camille Bordey: If you want to talk some more, you know, about your wife. DI Humphrey Goodman: I'm fine, Camille. I'm British. I'm going for the bottle it all up and turn it into a bitter little ball approach. DS Camille Bordey: But you look sad. DI Humphrey Goodman: I'm not sad. I'm squinting. My squinty face is uncannily similar to my sad face. [Pulls extremely weird expression] See?(00:50:40)
Officer Dwayne Myers: Not long after, she joined the convent. You think she can be happy? DS Camille Bordey: You mean, without you? DI Richard Poole: Dwayne, she married Christ. You could never compete - not with the miracles and the father-in-law. Officer Dwayne Myers: Ah, but does He have my killer smile?(00:16:00)
DI Richard Poole: You know, my Grandparents had a dog called Laddie. Irish setter. You know, he was probably my best friend, you know, growing up. And when I was 11, he was he was hit by a milk...well, it wasn't a milk float, it was a milk van...Anyway, the point the point I'm trying to make is that...Look, it was very difficult for me, you know. And I was upset for weeks, months even. DS Camille Bordey: Sir, Aimee was my friend, not a pet. That's different. DI Richard Poole: No, no, of course, I was, I mean, that was just sort of just trying to show you I understand and can be supportive. DS Camille Bordey: Yeah, well, you don't really seem to have any friends, so I'm not sure how you could possibly understand. DI Richard Poole: He was a very clever dog, you know, he could do tricks. DS Camille Bordey: Please, don't support me any more. DI Richard Poole: No. Sorry.(00:10:30)
DI Humphrey Goodman: Hook-a-duck. DS Camille Bordey: What-a-what? DI Humphrey Goodman: Hook-a-duck. Every summer when I was growing up, a funfair would pitch up on the village green. There'd be a carousel and a ghost train and hook-a-duck. It's those little rubber ducks bobbing around on a paddling pool. You had to try and hook them with a little fishing rod and if you got the one with the star on its bottom, you won the most fantastic prize. DS Camille Bordey: A-ha...what was the prize? DI Humphrey Goodman: A goldfish. In a plastic bag. DS Camille Bordey: You had a very dull childhood, didn't you? DI Humphrey Goodman: Every year, I'd hook a duck DS Camille Bordey: No star? DI Humphrey Goodman: Not once. DS Camille Bordey: HOW is that AT ALL relevant? DI Humphrey Goodman: Probability. See, the odds were stacked against me. As are the odds stacked against the murderer killing his intended victim.(00:09:50)
DS Camille Bordey: Mm-hm. You'd like her to be innocent so you can run barefoot across the sand and make wild love in the surf. DI Richard Poole: Not only is that inaccurate, Camille, it's also childish, fanciful and unhygienic.(00:06:10)
