- Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman: [she has found a French dictionary in the glove compartment] Learning French?
- Gerry Standing: Oh, no, not really, no. It's just my cookery teacher; she says I should immerse myself in everything French.
- Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman: Oh, yeah, how's it going?
- Gerry Standing: Merde.
- [last lines]
- Jack Halford: Who would like another drink?
- Gerry Standing: Whoa, not for me, thanks. Gotta run.
- Brian Lane: Got another cooking class?
- Gerry Standing: No, I've been invited to an oenological event.
- Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman: A what?
- Brian Lane: Wine-tasting.
- Gerry Standing: Vintage wine. Which, like women, get better with age.
- Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman: Thanks, Gerry.
- Jack Halford: I'm not sure he was talking about *you*.
- Jack Halford: [Discussing the possibility that a murder victim was posed as a human scarecrow] You and your theories.
- Brian Lane: It's a good theory
- Gerry Standing: Mind you, it'd be a good job for you.
- Brian Lane: Why?
- Gerry Standing: [Pointing at Brian's clothes] Well you've got all the gear for it.
- Brian Lane: If I was in sackcloth I'd be twice the man you are.
- Gerry Standing: You'd certainly frighten all the birds away.
- [first lines]
- Genevieve: You must, uh, go slowly at first, and, uh, gradually you can increase the speed. You need to, uh, keep going until it's, um, stiff.
- [Gerry and the Cookery School Man exchange glances]
- Genevieve: Voila. Ferme to the touch like this is parfait.
- [she eats some and sighs with pleasure; Gerry and the Cookery School Man react again]
- Genevieve: [she looks at the Cookery School Man's work] Salut.
- Genevieve: [looking at Gerry's work] C'est chouette, chéri.
- Gerry Standing: Sorry?
- Genevieve: Ah, I said uh, is, ah, very good.
- Gerry Standing: Ah, thank you.
- Genevieve: But you know, French food isn't just about, uh, cooking the ingredients in the right order. It's about a lot more than that.
- Gerry Standing: Is it?
- Genevieve: Why, yes! It is about, uh, France itself. It's about, uh, the passion, the, the culture. The language. This you must remember.
- Gerry Standing: All right, I will. Yeah, thank you.
- [she moves off to check other students]
- Cookery School Man: She's right. You have to immerse yourself in the whole experience.
- Gerry Standing: How much French do you speak?
- Cookery School Man: [staring at Genevieve's backside as she leans over a table] Va-va-voom!
- Gerry Standing: Didn't know you spoke French.
- Jack Halford: I'm full of surprises, me. As are you apparently. "Of all the stores in all the world..."
- Gerry Standing: Eh?
- Jack Halford: Never mind.
- Gerry Standing: [about Genevieve] I think I might ask her out.
- Jack Halford: Why not? An attractive, stylish, sophisticated French woman and you. Why not; would that go wrong?
- Gerry Standing: Exactly.
- Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman: She just sat down and told us how she followed David, how she took him by surprise.
- Jack Halford: She smiled when she did it.
- Brian Lane: She was proud of what happened.
- Gerry Standing: Yeah, she avenged her father. Upheld the family honour.
- Jack Halford: I could call it a lot of things, but honourable wouldn't be one of them.
