• Detective Inspector Purbright : [At the crematorium]  Look, I do realize that this must seem terribly improper to you, sir, but it's most important in the interests of justice that the gentleman in that coffin be held for examination.

  Curate : [Somewhat dryly]  And what do you propose to ask him.

  Detective Inspector Purbright : [Stating the obvious]  The man's dead, sir.

  Curate : [Dryly]  So I presumed.

• Detective Inspector Purbright : [to Gloss]  As you'll have noticed, sir, detection is very much in the air. It's unusual, but we'll just have to get used to it.
