- James Kavanagh QC: [to Lizzie] No more 'I said' or 'You promised!' That's no basis for anything. I am trying, but I am not going to spend the rest of my days walking on eggshells. We start over with a clean slate or we just knock it on the head.
- Julia Piper: [Sensing Kavanagh's good spirits] You've been on the bottle?
- James Kavanagh QC: No, on the boat. After two whole days of open sea and force 4 coming across the quarter, there is nothing you can say can shake my mood.
- Julia Piper: [Referring to his new case] It's tomorrow.
- James Kavanagh QC: Except of course 'It's tomorrow.'
