Mrs. Oxford
- Mrs. Oxford: Woman's intuition is worth more than all those laboratories. I can't think why you don't teach it in police colleges.
- Chief Inspector Oxford: What does your intuition tell you I want for dinner tonight?
- Mrs. Oxford: Steak and a baked potato. But you're getting: pied de porc la mode de Caens.
- Chief Inspector Oxford: lt looks like a pig's foot!
- Mrs. Oxford: That's what it is. I put it in the same sauce the French use for tripe.
- Chief Inspector Oxford: That's comforting.
- Chief Inspector Oxford: It's delicious. But I find the - ingredients somewhat mystifying.
- Mrs. Oxford: They're smelts, ling, conger eel, John Dory, pilchards and frog fish.
- Mrs. Oxford: A 'crime de passion' after all that time? Look at us. We've only been married eight years, and you can *hardly* keep your eyes open at night.
- Chief Inspector Oxford: Well, that's as may be, but I don't knock you about or make you do degrading things.
- Mrs. Oxford: What do you think they held? A locket? A broach? A cross!
- Chief Inspector Oxford: It had to be something that would incriminate him. Something that he missed when he put the body on the truck. A monogrammed handkerchief, perhaps.
- Mrs. Oxford: Not a cross, I think.
- Chief Inspector Oxford: Well, I don't see why not. Religious and sexual mania are - closely linked.
