- Camille Bordey: You are the most annoying man I've ever met.
- DI Richard Poole: It's a very small island.
- Camille Bordey: You know what I'm thinking?
- DI Richard Poole: No.
- Camille Bordey: How can you say that?
- DI Richard Poole: Because I have never, at any time while I've been with you, known what you're thinking.
- DI Richard Poole: Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, is to mention that word again!
- Fidel Best: Which word?
- Dwayne Myers: Voodoo!
- Camille Bordey: Voodoo has been part of this island for hundreds of years.
- DI Richard Poole: So have cholera and TB - and the French - and we managed to get rid of them in the end!
- Camille Bordey: I am half French!
- DI Richard Poole: There's no such thing as half French!
- Dwayne Myers: But the prophecy - !
- DI Richard Poole: All right, that's enough. No one is to mention this prophecy again! We're detectives. We deal in physical evidence and forensic science. We do NOT stick pins into dolls and dance naked around the campfire!
- DI Richard Poole: [to a suspect] So to be clear, you weren't about at the time of the murder because you were doing charity work in an orphanage, surrounded by nuns.
