- Det Inspector Jack Robinson: [puts on a record] Care for a waltz, Miss Fisher?
- Phryne Fisher: Are you sure you want to risk it?
- Det Inspector Jack Robinson: What's the risk?
- Phryne Fisher: Well, I have waltzed with the best. French presidents, English princes, American film stars. The waltz is a very serious dance.
- Det Inspector Jack Robinson: And I'm a serious man.
- Phryne Fisher: My mother lost all reason when she was waltzed.
- Det Inspector Jack Robinson: Well, if she hadn't, this would be a world without a certain Phryne Fisher in it. And what kind of world would that be?
- [they begin to waltz]
