- James Brodie: I'm the fool of the party.
- Ann Lodge: Oh but why? Why did you have to be one of them?
- James Brodie: Perhaps because I was in love.
- Ann Lodge: In love?
- James Brodie: Hm-mm. With all the roads and rivers, the fields and hills and woods that make up this funny old island...
- Ann Lodge: He'll never find them anyway.
- 'B. J': Why not?
- Ann Lodge: He thinks they go round in fur collars with their hats pulled down over their eyes.
- 'B. J': Whereas?
- Ann Lodge: They're probably just ordinary people like you and me.
- 'B. J': Ordinary people don't hold down my class of job.
- Ann Lodge: You won't be holding it down long if you're going to give that kind of assignment to people like him.
- Léon Poiccard: This means he has signed his own death warrant.
- Humphrey Mansfield: He did that when poor Terry was killed.
- Léon Poiccard: Our concern goes beyond personal revenge.
