- Detective John 'Jack' Robinson: Well, I'd be interested to hear your opinion, Miss Fisher, as a fellow detective, since I have no doubt you'll make your opinions known at some point.
- Raymond Hirsch: This is terrible, Phryne. As soon as I heard he was dead, I thought of you.

- Vernon Palmer Jr: I take it you're my leading lady.
- Phryne Fisher: Not exactly, though I'd happily lead you astray.
