- Dorothy 'Dot' Williams: Miss Fisher's right about one thing: dressing to please a man is definitely beside the point.
- Detective John 'Jack' Robinson: I'll never again dismiss the fashion world as frivolous. It all looks harmless enough, but you never know what lurks beneath.
- Phryne Fisher: Usually lingerie.
- Detective John 'Jack' Robinson: Equally dangerous.
- Phryne Fisher: And just one dress can be lethal.
- Detective John 'Jack' Robinson: I'm afraid I'll have to ask everyone to remain in the building while we look over the premises thoroughly. We'll also have to search the salon staff, Collins, including Mr. Wilde.
- Madame Fleuri: Search?
- Detective John 'Jack' Robinson: Yes. If you could please start with Aubrey Wilde, Constable, and if Miss Fisher and Miss Williams could assist us with the ladies.
- Phryne Fisher: Gladly. And you two can draw straws to see who searches Dot and me.
- Madame Fleuri: [spotting Dot] Ah, very sensible choice, my dear. You can be married or buried in a quality suit.
- Phryne Fisher: [finding Dot admiring Phryne's dress] Stunning, isn't it?
- Dorothy 'Dot' Williams: "They'll see you coming." That's what my mother always said when my sister wore anything too showy.
- Phryne Fisher: Surely that's a good thing. If nothing else, to avoid a collision.
- Phryne Fisher: Having grown up in second-hand flannels, there is nothing quite so divine as the feel of silk underwear.
