Camilla Farquaharson : [watching boxing on TV] I didn't realize they'd be fighting at four in the morning.
Sebastian Farquaharson : They're not; they're five hours behind us.
Camilla Farquaharson : And I thought they'd be outside.
Sebastian Farquaharson : Why?
Camilla Farquaharson : Well, aren't they in some sort of garden?
Sebastian Farquaharson : [sighs] Madison Square Garden!
Camilla Farquaharson : So I'm right.
Sebastian Farquaharson : It's a world famous sporting arena, not bloody Kew! My wife's not known for her intellect.
Gerald Farquaharson : Whereas my son is renowned for his charm.

DCI Tom Barnaby : Iris Holman was blackmailing you! Wasn't she?
Gerald Farquaharson : She held the document that legalised the wager. She was asking for money. But what she really wanted was revenge.
DCI Tom Barnaby : On Sebastian?
Gerald Farquaharson : On the world...
DCI Tom Barnaby : You know it doesn't matter that Frank Bishop is dead. The manor still goes into his estate.
Gerald Farquaharson : That is
[laughs]
Gerald Farquaharson : That is the irony of it. You see, Frank Bishop was so determined that his man would win that he did a bit of pre-fight tampering. Kinsella didn't know. But he was told this morning he had failed a drugs test.
DS Ben Jones : He'll be stripped of the title.
Gerald Farquaharson : And the wager is void and the estate is still mine.
DS Ben Jones : So no need for all those murders.
Gerald Farquaharson : None at all, Sergeant. What a waste. What a pitiful waste. Although, when you think of it, Braithwaite, a two-timing lawyer, Frank Bishop, a ruthless main chancer, Iris Holman, an embittered blackmailer. And what am I? Other than a gentrified waster? None of us will be much of a loss to society.

[talking about Iris Holman, Giles Braithwaite's assistant]
Grace Bishop : I feel for that Giles, having her round him all the time. It must be like working with a stalker.
Gerald Farquaharson : Don't let her get to you.
Grace Bishop : Nosy cow! Fur coat and no knickers. I bet she doesn't even *have* the fur coat.
[Gerald chuckles]
