Quotes 

• Hugh Collins : [entering]  Roland Claremont's war records, as requested, sir.

  Phryne Fisher : [snatching the file]  How remarkably clairvoyant of you, Jack. You know, Hugh, if we ask nicely he'll make the desk levitate.

• Warwick Hamilton : Tell me, Miss Fisher, do you discredit everything you can not see?

  Phryne Fisher : No. Not everything. I believe in radio waves and electricity and magnetism.

  Warwick Hamilton : Or the current that flows between two people.

  Phryne Fisher : I would never discredit that.

  Warwick Hamilton : Two veterans of a war, perhaps.

  Phryne Fisher : Or the energy that flares between two independent spirits, however briefly.

• Phryne Fisher : Shrapnel wounds leave distinctive scars.

• Phryne Fisher : Brotherly love, no matter how strong, is no protection against mortar shells and mustard gas.

• Phryne Fisher : [reading Jack's palm]  I see a very careful man who professes to be cynical in the face of mysteries he can't explain, and claims to have no passions in spite of a heart that runs as deep as the Pacific Ocean.

  Detective John 'Jack' Robinson : [looks at his own palm for the future]  That's strange. All I can see is another martini.
