Quotes 

• James Harrington : You're wasting your time here. Don't husbands usually top the list of suspects?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : There's no one on the top of any list as yet, Mr. Harrington. Doesn't mean to say there would be. I may not know a lot about farming, but I'm very used to separating the sheep from the goats.

• Sergeant Gavin Troy : I need to have a look around the farm, Mr. Harrington. I haven't got a search warrant.

  James Harrington : Help yourself, officer. Inside, outside. There are no bodies that I can call to mind, but you never know.

  [pause] 

  James Harrington : Oh, just one thing. You won't leave a mess, will you?

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : Mrs. Bartlett had a computer... um, laptop. You weren't aware of it?

  James Harrington : Can't say as I was. She did bang on about the web - gynecological advice on the web, tarot card readings. Not my sort of thing. There's enough bullshit in Midsomer Worthy without scouring the planet for this stuff.

• DCI Tom Barnaby : Do you know Mrs. Susan Bartlett?

  James Harrington : What kind of a question is that?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Look, I haven't got time to waste. Can you say when you last saw Mrs. Susan Bartlett, please?

  James Harrington : I wouldn't know. I pass her in the street. I don't talk to the woman.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Mrs. Bartlett's body was found in a pond in Setwale Wood this morning. She was dead. The wood belongs to you.

  [pause] 

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Shall we come inside? Then you can tell me what the Susan Bartlett you don't talk to was doing here yesterday morning.

• Bernadette Sullivan : [James knocks off Bernadette's side mirror]  What the hell are you doing?

  James Harrington : There's a footpath there, not a car park. You'll know what trespass is.

  Bernadette Sullivan : Mr. Harrington, you'd be very unwise to allow them to start felling trees.

  James Harrington : Just a bit of preliminary work. They move in next week, but that hasn't got anything to do with you or anybody.

  Bernadette Sullivan : We will be going back to court.

  James Harrington : You fired all your guns.

  Bernadette Sullivan : Oh no. You don't know how much the next salvo's going to cost you.
