Quotes 

• DS Jim Strange : [discovering that a drug addict has died of asphyxia]  Choked on his own puke.

  Dr. Max DeBryn : Been at the Keats again, sergeant?

• Dr. Max DeBryn : [surveying the corpse of Murray Creswell]  As far as injuries are concerned, a single circular wound, about half an inch in diameter, to the base of the skull.

  DCI Ronnie Box : Shot, then, surely?

  DS Endeavour Morse : No. There's no starburst pattern, which one would expect to find from a discharge at point-blank range.

  Dr. Max DeBryn : Yes, quite. It could have been done with any number of pointed instruments.

  DS Alan Jago : Such as?

  Dr. Max DeBryn : Oh, a spiked bayonet; medieval misericord; rondel dagger; the Japanese sai. The only thing one can pronounce with any certainty at this juncture is that he came to a sticky end.

• Dr. Max DeBryn : [concerning the terminal illness of Mrs. Bright]  I'll make enquiries, of course; but my advice would be to make the most of the time you have together.

• Dr. Max DeBryn : [Morse arrives at the scene of Rufus Burra's death]  It's all a bit coppery, I'm afraid. Appropriately enough. Just a hint of sucrose.

  DS Endeavour Morse : [grimacing]  Must you? It's a bloodbath, not a Cotes du Rhone.

• Dr. Max DeBryn : [after Morse has questioned an apparent suicide]  People do despair, Morse.

  DS Endeavour Morse : [grimly]  You don't say.

• Dr. Max DeBryn : [by the dead body of Greville Creswell]  Ah, gentlemen. One shot to the left side of the chest which presumably knocked him out of the saddle. Unlikely he'd have survived without urgent medical attention. Then the coup de grace to the head, point blank.

  DS Endeavour Morse : Shotgun?

  Dr. Max DeBryn : Yes. Twelve-bore, by the look of things.

  DI Fred Thursday : Anything as to time?

  Dr. Max DeBryn : Two-thirty-nine. One of the balls smashed his wristwatch.

• Dr. Max DeBryn : Furthers and betters once I've had a fillet.
