• Nun : [Morse has been questioning a patient]  Come out of there at once and leave my patient alone.

  Chief Inspector Morse : I'm sorry; I'm making enquiries.

  Nun : Then you will make them to thin air outside the gates.

  Chief Inspector Morse : I could compel you to co-operate.

  Nun : Oh, you ridiculous man! Of course you couldn't. I answer to a *much* higher authority than the Thames Valley Police.

• Lance Mandeville : [as Morse is leaving the interrogation room]  I stake my oath that Geoffrey is neither a murderer nor a thief, and may God forgive you, Chief Inspector.

  Chief Inspector Morse : I doubt if your God would have much truck with the likes of me. At least I hope he wouldn't.

  [He leaves] 

• Chief Inspector Morse : Good morning!

  Emma Pickford : I don't know whether I should be pleased or alarmed when I see you.

  Chief Inspector Morse : I'm only pleased when I see you.

• Chief Inspector Morse : He's withholding information, sir!

  Chief Superintendent Strange : [Indignantly]  I've been looking at him on and off - checking. Spends most of his time on his knees, and that's where you'll be, I'm tellin' you, if you don't make this stick!

• [last lines] 

  [at a party, Morse is offered either orange juice or a can of Leopard lager] 

  Chief Inspector Morse : I'll have the orange juice.

• Hilary Dobson : [to Emma]  Tell him! Tell him what's been going on here!

  Chief Inspector Morse : [Dourly]  Well, someone should tell me.
