John Hopkins: Sergeant Dan Scott

Quotes 

• Barnaby : I'm not 100% certain about your interview technique, Scott. But it certainly gets results.

  Scott : Thank you, sir.

  Barnaby : That's something you picked up at the Met, is it?

  Scott : Could be.

  Barnaby : Do you want to go back there?

  Scott : No. I quite like it here.

  Barnaby : Good.

  Scott : Yeah. I think I might change my job, though.

  Barnaby : Hmmm?

  Scott : Well, there's a shortage of funeral directors in the area. I could make a fortune.

• Scott : Unfortunately, sir, we can't arrest a ghost for scaring an old lady to death.

• Eve Whittle : I am sorry about that. She's not been at her best lately. A lot of strange things have been happening.

  Scott : Really? What kind of things?

  Eve Whittle : Her spirit guide has become very angry. It just won't behave itself. Whatever or not it could harm someone, I'm not sure.

• Barnaby : Obviously our Mr. Pennyman upset someone in particular.

  Scott : Yeah, I'd say so, sir.

  Barnaby : Dissatisfied customer?

  Scott : By the sounds of things, there must have been a few of them.

  Barnaby : Well, they know they were being cheated. He was an undertaker, not a grocer.
