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

Story Watch:

paranoidangel: For some reason it's just not terribly exciting, I don't know why. 6/10
