Quotes 

• Dorothy 'Dot' Williams : Miss, about the job. I don't know what my priest will think of your... guns and knives and... dancing.

  Phryne Fisher : Considering your last employers were a drug baroness and a rapist, surely he'd find me a modest improvement.

• Detective John 'Jack' Robinson : I wish I could change the laws for you, Miss Fisher.

  Phryne Fisher : You can't? Fine. I'll just have to find a way around them.

• Phryne Fisher : Do you have a card? In case I need to call the police, because... I'm a woman alone, newly arrived in a dangerous town.

  Detective John 'Jack' Robinson : I plan to make this town less dangerous, Miss FIsher.

  Phryne Fisher : Good. I do like a man with a plan,

  [reading card] 

  Phryne Fisher : Detective Inspector Jack Robinson.

• Phryne Fisher : Goodnight, Aunt Prudence.

  Aunt Prudence : At this hour? It's not safe! Why do you think you can just run off on your own?

  Phryne Fisher : Because I'm carrying a gun!

  [holds up her golden revolver] 

• Aunt Prudence : I do appreciate you weren't born to wealth. At least your mother came from good stock. It's just unfortunate she ran off with your father.

  Phryne Fisher : Lucky, then, the Great War laid waste to his titled cousins.

  Aunt Prudence : Yes. Well, no one likes a war.

• Cec : Is that all I can do for you?

  Phryne Fisher : You might go for help. Things can get interesting around here.

  Cec : Thought they already were.

• Dr. Mac : Looks like a nerve powder, usually prescribed for women, of course, for hysterical sex, for nervous exhaustion, emotional collapse, wandering wombs, that sort of thing...

  Phryne Fisher : Why on earth would a womb wander?

  Dr. Mac : Unnatural behavior would do it, according to Hippocrates. Like celibacy.

  Phryne Fisher : Oh, good. Mine's not going anywhere.
