- [talking about Alistair Kingslake]
- Archie Kemp: He was the rudest man I ever met. You stick Ali Kingslake in a room on his own, he'd start a fight with himself.
- Joyce Barnaby: It was good fun when we used to play tennis.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: No, it was not. Rose-tinted spectacles there, Joyce.
- Joyce Barnaby: I loved that club. Don't know why we ever left.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Well, uh, apart from the snobbery and the extortionate fees, there was also the small matter of me arresting the treasurer for murdering his mistress.
- Joyce Barnaby: Details, details.
- [Dr Bullard is examining the body of Alistair Kingslake]
- Dr Bullard: Beaten to death with a one iron. What a way to go. This hole's famous, you know. I played it once - got a quadruple bogey. It's known as Crisp's Folly.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Crisp's what?
- Dr Bullard: Folly. Chap called Crisp lost his house on a bet, playing this hole. It's got a ninety-degree dogleg, you see; you take a driver from the tee and you're liable to end up in the jungle, but with an iron you might not get a shot at the green.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: [sarcastically] Well, that's absolutely fascinating, George, but I don't speak golf.
- Miles Tully: Play the ball as it lies, play the course as you find it, and if you can't do either...
- DS Ben Jones: Do what is fair.
- Miles Tully: Exactly. That's the spirit of golf.
- Eileen Fountain: What was it you wanted again?
- DCI Tom Barnaby: I wanted a word with Colin, if I may.
- Eileen Fountain: Colin? What about?
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Oh, it's nothing very much.
- Eileen Fountain: Well, he just popped out as you saw.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Ah, yes, well, he can't have gone very far, can he, so I'll take a look.
- Eileen Fountain: He might be feein' the pig. I'll take you.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: No, don't you trouble yourself. Don't worry. I'll follow my nose.
