Eve: How did it get to be morning again?
Roarke: There you have that pesky rotation of the Earth.
Eve: I slept like a... I was going to say rock because people say that, but it's stupid. Rocks don't sleep.
Roarke: But they're usually very still and quiet.

Eve: Thanks. I’ll bang you like a marching band on the island.
Roarke: A marching band?
Eve: They got drums, right? Lots of drums. Bang, boom, bang.

Eve and Roarke had an argument over money, and how she hasn't had to think about it since they got married, and she doesn't like that. But the argument turned more into decision on how to deal with that (both ways). Eve was really glad it didn't become a full-blown fight.

Roarke (upon Eve waking up): There she is.
Eve: Is there a half ton of cat on my ass?
Roarke: There is indeed. I can't decide if he's there to guard you from any and all intruders or just keep you down until you got some sleep.

Mrs. Kajinski: Take that table. I'll bring you a nosh.
Eve: We're fine, thank you, butβ€”

Eve (cont): We have to deal with enough blood without worrying about it spurting out of the shower.
Peabody: Okay, that's guaranteed to give me daymares the next time I take one.

Eve: You'd think a little rain ranked as one of those biblical plagues, like, what is it, locusts.
Peabody: Or water turning to blood.
Eve: That's ridiculous. That's a plague?
Peabody: It's a popular one.

Eve: Does the price include going to France to buy it?
Peabody: If only, But since I doubled my money, I can afford it. Now I just have to decide what color. I may go for the red, because big pop of color there. But the blue is so gorgeous.

Roarke: I’ll get your coffee, as I want one myself.
Eve: Hold mine until I shower.
Roarke (shocked): Did you saw hold the coffee? Did the dream punch from Big Bitch Brenda knock something loose?
Eve: The dream punch woke me up. Bang. So yeah, hold that.

Eve (after Roarke rushed in after hearing her jolt up from sleep): I’m okay, I’m okay. God, you didn’t have to break off from buying Australia or whatever. I’m fine.
Roarke: I’d just broken offβ€”thought still lack owning a continent.
Eve: Only a matter of time.

After Eve jolts awake from a dream/nightmare, Galahad immediately goes to comfort her.
Eve (while petting Galahad): Okay, fine. It’s fine, it’s fine. Should get up anyway.

After seeing Jamie and Quilla as witnesses at the next crime scene:
"They're dating, aren't they?" The idea made her twitchy. "How can they be dating?"
"Well now, that usually begins with mutual attraction, perhaps a mutual interest."
"Shut up."

Eve: I think, I really think, she'd have grabbed those dreams if some dooser hadn't killed her.
Roarke: Translate dooser.
Eve (proud she knows the answer): Combo of dick and loser.
Roarke: That's a good one.
Eve: What I said.

Reed: I saw the vid about you. (To Peabody) So I know you're the nice one. (To Eve) You can be mean. You have to be mean to the bastard who killed my sister. Check it?

They call them dooryards in Ireland, and I don't get that, either, but at least there's a kind of yard outside the door.
Peabody: Why are they yards? It’s not like everybody's is a multiple of three feet.
Eve: Right. Why are they yards?
