Detective Sergeant Lewis
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: [Lewis walks in as Morse is fighting with the killer] Need a hand, sir?
- Chief Inspector Morse: GET THIS BASTARD OFF ME!
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: We should have arrested Donald Martin straightaway.
- Chief Inspector Morse: Why?
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: Morse's Law. You said there's a 50:50 chance that whoever finds the body did the deed.
- Chief Inspector Morse: That isn't Morse's Law. Morse's Law is "There's always time for one more pint".
- Chief Inspector Morse: [standing in front of movie poster for The Last Tango In Paris] You ever seen this?
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: No!
- Chief Inspector Morse: Me neither.
- [guilelessly]
- Chief Inspector Morse: My doctor says I should lose some weight, stop eating butter, start eating, uh, polyunsaturates, whatever they are. Not quite the same though, is it, Lewis?
- [last lines]
- Chief Inspector Morse: Oh, no, they've changed the bloody film!
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: Woah, '101 Dalmatians'. Great! I might pop home and fetch the wife and kids.
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: So he did kill Nicholas Quinn.
- Chief Inspector Morse: Or did he, did he? Nah! How could he have done? He set the best crosswords in England.
- Chief Inspector Morse: Who's this bloke who found him?
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: A Mr. Martin, sir, one of his chums from the foreign whatsit.
- Chief Inspector Morse: Chums, Lewis? You know Morse's law, there's always a 50 /50 chance that the man who found the body did the deed.
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: Well, I was going to arrest him on the spot, sir, but I thought I'd let you have the pleasure.
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: Chap named Quinn, sir. He works for Foreign Academics Examinations.
- Chief Inspector Morse: Worked.
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: Sir?
- Chief Inspector Morse: Worked, Lewis - he's dead, isn't he?
- [Looks admiringly at the deceased's property]
- Chief Inspector Morse: These academics do themselves alright, don't they?
- Detective Sergeant Lewis: [Tartly] Did.
