Alun Bodnar
- Alun Bodnar: A policeman? Well, Blackwell was right, then. You were never a teacher. I should have known.
- DS Endeavour Morse: How's that?
- Alun Bodnar: You didn't look beaten enough.
- Alun Bodnar: [greeting Morse for the first time] Welcome to St. Bastard's. Ye who enter here, all hope abandon.
- Alun Bodnar: Well, the parting of the ways. Here, you better take this.
- DS Endeavour Morse: Don't you need it?
- Alun Bodnar: No. I'd find my way back blindfolded after all this time. Go straight through the woods. Follow the path through a kissing gate, to the cottage. Safe home.
- DS Endeavour Morse: Thanks. You too.
- Alun Bodnar: He got in their heads... Morse. Ivory. You see, cruelty's like cancer. Starts with one cell. And if it's left untreated... it spreads... till the whole body's riddled with it. You've got to cut it out. You've got to... burn it out. Kill it at the source.
- DS Endeavour Morse: My wife said she saw you in the woods with some of the boys.
- Alun Bodnar: Ah... yes.
- DS Endeavour Morse: She was under the impression some of them were high. Is there very much of that here - dope?
- Alun Bodnar: Well, Ivory used to go on holiday to Marrakesh every summer. I think he used to bring a bit back with him.
- DS Endeavour Morse: What? He sold it to the boys?
- Alun Bodnar: [cynically] Got to underwrite his losses on the gee-gees somehow.
- Alun Bodnar: Sorry I'm a bit early.
- DS Endeavour Morse: Hello.
- Alun Bodnar: Hello. Hello, Kate. How are you?
- Kate Ivory: Morse and Shirley have been spoiling me.
- [Chuckles]
- Alun Bodnar: Quite right too.
- WPC Shirley Trewlove: Early for what?
- Alun Bodnar: I'm here to lead your husband astray. A pint or two at the local.
- WPC Shirley Trewlove: Well, don't let us stop you.
- DS Endeavour Morse: It was lovely to have met you. Hopefully we'll see you again.
- DS Endeavour Morse: [asking Bodnar about Ivory] You said you didn't click. How come?
- Alun Bodnar: He spoke to the boys' baser instincts. Their lesser angels.
- DS Endeavour Morse: Oh...
- Alun Bodnar: And he was a bully. I taught most of the boys in your form. They were all right till Ivory got hold of them. Have you ever been bullied?
