S2 E12 Unnatural Habits
[Mary screams in pain as the contractions set in.]
The doctor says it's too late to go to the Lying-in Home. He'll get here as soon as he can.
M Mary
[shakes her head] No, I don't need a doctor! It's not my time!
[grabs Mary's arm and moves her towards the sofa] Hold on to me. Come on, to the sofa.
Oh dear. I'll boil up some water and get the scissors sterilized.
[positioning Mary on the sofa] And bring some towels, Mr. Butler. Loads of towels.
M Mary
No, no, no, no, don't bring anything! IT'S NOT MY TIME! [She screams in pain.] Oh, bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I've been bad and wicked, and God is gonna let the nuns take my baby away!
God will do nothing of the kind or He will be answerable to ME! Now pull yourself together, girl, you've got work to do. It's not called labor for nothing!
[At City South station, Hugh hangs up the phone after a call from Dottie.]
Miss Fisher's gone on holiday again, sir.
[Phryne and Jack are searching for Nicholas Mortimer in the tunnels.]
Is that an order, Inspector, or are you just scared?
[Jane raises the mistletoe above Phryne and Jack.]
J Jane
Miss Fisher and the Inspector!
[Except for Aunt Prudence, the gathered crowd lets out a loud collective "Ooh!"]
I'm not sure that my kisses can be compelled by sprigs of parasitic greenery.
Hemi -parasitic. Of the genus Viscum .
I'll take your word for it.
You know, I saw the original Cavalcade of Mysteries as a child.
I can't imagine you small and harmless.
Well I was definitely small…
[DI Robinson has left the autopsy room in a huff.]
What have you done to him?
[technically telling the truth] Stood him up for another man.
[skeptical] Oh come on. Cough up.
Men. Can't live without them, you can't hit them with an axe.
H Henry
I have nowhere to lay my head tonight.
H Henry
And you'll barely know i'm here. Unless you'd like some male company, Prudence.
Jack! I was going to explain last night, but you were in no fit state.
My father assaulted you. Well, his nerve tonic assaulted you first, but none of it was planned.
Mr Butler, of course. After I undressed you.
S3 E5 Death and Hysteria
You have any idea what this appliance was?
I have a fast developing theory. Given what Dot reported on the victim’s neurosis, Doctor Samuels’ controversial reputation, and the victim’s lack of underwear, I’d say an electrical massager.
A... vibrating machine with a range of applications. [Jack still looks confused.] To various, sometimes delicate parts of the body.
Oh! Oh, that sort of electrical massager.
Oh? Do you know what we’re looking for? Have you seen one before?
[He nods and then shakes his head slightly.] I was once ordered to raid a brothel in Chinatown that employed all manner of interesting devices.
Now that’s a tale I haven’t heard.
I confess I failed to understand the point of most of them.
I have a friend who can enlighten you. [She nods towards Phryne and smiles.]
It was during my cadetship. The whole establishment made a lasting impression.
Mr Freud would be terrible interested in that.
I’m quite interested myself.
M Martin
So, what exactly are we looking for, sir?
We’ll discuss that later, Constable.
S3 E8 Death Do Us Part
Oh, good. Brilliant scientist, talented musician, dashingly handsome and an Ottoman prince.
