Quotes:
• ‘So, let me get this straight. This is a holiday. No spies, no murders, no cases to investigate, you’re just here to relax with your old mate Yolanda, who just happens to chase spies, murderers and the same sort of things you go in for.’ ‘Used to! She’s retired now! She said we should just come out there and enjoy the scenery.’ ‘In Romania? Right.’ ‘Open your mind, Mr Townsend! This will be the best holiday you’re going to get this year, mate. I hear that there are some really beautiful places to visit!’ ‘Um… great. Well, I hope the beer’s cheap.’ ‘Oh, typical!’ - Josh and Sarah, on the plane
• ‘Sorry, I’ve not introduced you! This is Josh Townsend, he’s… he’s a very good friend of mine.’ ‘Pleased to meet you.’ ‘How do you do.’ ‘She means I’m daft enough to help her when she gets into scrapes.’ ‘Ah, the unwilling sidekick! So nothing’s changed then, bar the roles!’ - Sarah, Josh and Yolanda
• ‘If there’s one thing about me, I don’t scare easily, and I don’t make things up!’ - Sarah, that’s two things…
• ‘Call me old-fashioned, but I have a habit of exhibiting instant caution to strange men!’ - Sarah
• ‘Do you know what makes a really good journalist – or a really good anything, for that matter? It’s someone who sees beyond the facts, beyond the talk. It’s someone who can make connections.’ - Sarah
• ‘Look, SJ… Do you, uh, want some company tonight?’ ‘Certainly not, hop it!’ - Josh, being adorably overprotective, and Sarah
• ‘It’s like a flaming Scooby Doo plot, isn’t it, Sarah?’ ‘Ssh! Thinking.’ - Josh and Sarah
