Maddy Magellan
- Maddy Magellan: I just thought I could be useful to you tonight, that's all.
- Jonathan Creek: What as? A contraceptive?
- [when getting rid of a cockroach]
- Maddy Magellan: Take it to the bottom of the garden and kill it with a spade!
- Jonathan Creek: Kill it with a spade? What am I? Jack "the Hat" McVitie?
- [explaining how she met Jonathan]
- Charlotte: We went out for this wonderful meal, talked about everything. Then I took him back to my place. I literally offered myself on a plate to him that night... but, for whatever reason, he just made up an excuse and left... but, there you go, I suppose I just wasn't his type...
- Maddy Magellan: [dismissive] Hmm, suppose. Now, Charlotte, I just want to run over some facts about the case with you, would you mind.
- Jonathan Creek: Marella Carney, "The Black Canary", a life-long claustrophobic. I told you that her twin sister, Beryl, was the one who had to go inside the boxes. Yet Marella has been travelling in a lift the size of a pencil case. Coupled together with that suicide note...
- Maddy Magellan: When she just put a kiss?
- Jonathan Creek: Why didn't she sign it? Why didn't she put 'Marella' or 'Mother' or something like that? I think we can safely assume, at the time of her death, the moment of confrontation, she couldn't bring herself to lie... about who she really was.
- [long pause as Maddy thinks about it]
- Maddy Magellan: Oh, you top man, Jonathan! It wasn't Beryl at the end of that buzz saw, it was her sister! All these years Marella Carney wasn't Marella Carney at all. That explains everything.
- Jonathan Creek: No, it explains nothing.
- Maddy Magellan: I wonder what it was in the end that drove her to it: the thought of what she did to her daughter, or what she had done to her sister. What did she really want us to forgive her for?
- [when sneaking into a bat cave]
- Maddy Magellan: When this is all over I'm going to open a sweet shop. I've decided. With sour lemons.
