Dot, a woman should dress first and foremost for her own pleasure. Having grown up in second-hand flannels, there is nothing quite so divine as the feel of silk underwear.
S2 E5Murder A La Mode
I'll never again dismiss the fashion world as frivolous. It all looks harmless enough, but you never know what lurks beneath.
Usually lingerie.
Equally dangerous.
And just one dress can be lethal. Night cap?
Perhaps some other time. At a less dangerous hour, in a less...lethal dress.
S2 E12Unnatural Habits
I really am very sorry, Jack, that you're in so much hot water because of me.
Don't be remorseful. It only confuses me.
[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.
MMary
[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.
MMary
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!
S2 E13Murder Under the Mistletoe
[At City South station, Hugh hangs up the phone after a call from Dottie.]
What's that all about?
Miss Fisher's gone on holiday again, sir.
Huh. Anyone dead yet?
Only one so far, sir.
[Phryne and Jack are searching for Nicholas Mortimer in the tunnels.]
Stay close.
Is that an order, Inspector, or are you just scared?
Only of you.
[Jane raises the mistletoe above Phryne and Jack.]
JJane
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.
