- Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd: [to Grace after she has explained the rationale of a ritual Navajo burial] I understand the purpose of the Navajo ritual. What I don't quite get is why it happened to a white Anglo-Saxon male in the middle of England.
- DI Spencer Jordan: Were you aware of any sacrifices or burials?
- Harold Bloom: Well, there was a hard core who wanted to push things to the limits. They'd have scrificed a virgin if they got the chance.
- DC Stella Goodman: How can you be sure they didn't get the chance?
- DI Spencer Jordan: [Sarcastically] No virgins!
- Dr. Grace Foley: He's not a child. He wants to see his father's body... if that helps him to cope with it.
- Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd: Don't you think he should remember his father how he was?
- Dr. Grace Foley: He has to be allowed to grieve!
- Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd: I don't see the point of showing him a bag of bones!
