DS Ben Jones
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Jones.
- DS Ben Jones: Yes, sir!
- DCI Tom Barnaby: I'm not going to get you tarred and feathered and sent to traffic, all right?
- DS Ben Jones: You're not?
- DCI Tom Barnaby: No.
- DS Ben Jones: I thought I'd dropped you in it with the Boy Wonder, sir.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Well, yes, you did. But your candour merely hastens the inevitable.
- DS Ben Jones: You're being bailed, not released, Mr Parkes. Better stay out of trouble.
- James Parkes: Is that an official warning or a personal threat?
- DS Ben Jones: Both.
- CS John Cotton: You've had a similar incident of arson recently.
- DS Ben Jones: Yeah, that'll be...
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Polter, the pyromaniac. I'm fairly sure it wasn't him.
- CS John Cotton: Fuzzy logic, Tom. Gut instinct can let you down; systems won't.
- DS Ben Jones: We banged Polter up last Wednesday, sir.
- DS Ben Jones: [Wearing a blindfold] Can't see a thing!
- DCI Tom Barnaby: [Sarcastically] Something to do with wearing a blindfold.
- DS Ben Jones: Don't look now, sir, but we're being watched.
- DCI Tom Barnaby: Where?
- DS Ben Jones: One o'clock. Big man in red.
- [Barnaby looks in the direction and sees a plastic Santa on the roof of a house]
- DCI Tom Barnaby: [sarcastically] Oh, you're full of fun today, Jones.
- DS Ben Jones: Well, that's my Christmas Eve stuffed the wrong way up the chimney, sir. How about yours?
