Lisa Faulkner: DS Emma Scribbins

Quotes 

• [to Ash, as they are driving to the scene of a murder] 

  DS Emma 'Scribbs' Scribbins : Dead estate agent. At least something's gone all right today.

• Scribbs : D'you think there's some kind of IQ test you have to *fail* to become an estate agent?

  Ash : Yeah. It's the same test all my ex-boyfriends failed.

• [talking about a murder suspect whose house they have just left] 

  Scribbs : Phew! It's a relief to be out in the fresh air.

  Ash : Scribbs, you're all heart. Well, she's bereaved and she's moving - that's about as stressful as it gets.

  Scribbs : She's odd.

  Ash : True. Shocking carpets.

  Scribbs : Not *technically* a criminal offence.

  Ash : Well, it should be.

• [talking about a murder victim] 

  Ash : D'you want to know what Pennyless Phil was doing online all Monday afternoon?

  Scribbs : Does it involve women with large breasts?

  Ash : You know, your insight into the male psyche never fails to amaze me. He was on Hot Girlz with a Z for two-and-a-half hours, then on the football results of course, and then back to the Hot Girlz chatroom for 20 minutes.

  Scribbs : Those online relationships really stand the test of time.
