[DCI Barnaby has just discovered his pension fund is in trouble]
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Funny thing happened the other day, sir.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Go on, Troy, cheer me up.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Lord Chetwood put me on to this chap. He's a collector, he collects comics.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Really.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Anyway, he phoned up and asked me about 'The Hawk'; I've got 'em all, you see, from the first issue, and they're in *really* good condition. Anyway, this collector wants to buy them. And you'll never guess how much he's offered. It's amazing! Go on, sir, have a guess.

DCI Tom Barnaby : Moving on, are we Harry?
Harry Painter : Yeah, I've had it with swimming pools. It's been a learning curve, though, I'll say that.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Oh yeah? And what have you learned?
Harry Painter : The bigger your swimming pool, the less time you have to use it.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : That's deep.
Harry Painter : He's good, isn't he, eh?
DCI Tom Barnaby : Yeah, he is. So, what's next, Harry?
Harry Painter : Well, I haven't been entirely honest with you, Inspector.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Oh,really?
Harry Painter : And I feel bad about it. You see, uh, where I said that I'd given up the stock market. Well, um, I haven't. A couple of years ago I got chatting to Tamsin and told her what I used to do. She told me about the reading club and asked my advice.
[Chuckles]
Harry Painter : Well, I just couldn't resist, could I?
DCI Tom Barnaby : Inside information, eh?
Harry Painter : Hey, she didn't know I was using her. So yeah, I made a bit of money.

DCI Tom Barnaby : What?
[pause]
DCI Tom Barnaby : "The Hawk"? Well, well.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : My dad brought me the first issue when I was six and I just kept on buying it. It's become a sort of, um, hobby, you know.
DCI Tom Barnaby : And who exactly is The Hawk?
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Well, he's this private detective who fights evil. And he can turn into a hawk at night. He's got this amazing night vision.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Can he fly?
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Only when he's a hawk.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Extraordinary. You think you know someone.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : I never actually read it.
DCI Tom Barnaby : No, of course not. Now, about the pensions, you've got yourself sorted out there, have you?
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Oh, God, no, too young for things like that.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Obviously.

DCI Tom Barnaby : 70 year old woman with a dodgy hip against two assailants. We're missing something here, Troy. How about the paperwork that was in the safe?
Sergeant Gavin Troy : It was to do with the reading club investments - statements and checkbooks... you know.
DCI Tom Barnaby : No, I don't know.
Sergeant Gavin Troy : Well, stuff to do with shares.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Stuff to do with shares. Is that from the business section of "The Hawk," Troy?
