- John George Haigh: Do you realise, without a body, there can be no conviction for murder?
- Morrison: Blimey. Gerra way.
- John George Haigh: It's true. The law is called "corpus delicti".
- Morrison: So who are you gonna murder, then?
- John George Haigh: Well, if you get 21 months for doing very little, might as well do something big.
- Mrs. Durand-Deacon: My husband was a colonel in the Glorious Gloucesters. A fine man. He died... seven years ago.
- John George Haigh: I'm sorry.
- Mrs. Durand-Deacon: Well, at least when your husband's dead, you always know where he is.
