Inspector Morse Quote

Adele Cecil: This anagram: "Around Eve"? I've tried and I've tried, but all I can come up with is "Endeavour". And no-one's called Endeavour. Surely?
Chief Inspector Morse: I told you, my mother was a Quaker. And Quakers sometimes call their children names like Hope and Patience. My father was obsessed with Captain Cook, and his ship was called Endeavour. Why aren't you both laughing?
Detective Sergeant Lewis: [mutters] You poor sod.
Adele Cecil: I'm not calling you "Endeavour".
Detective Sergeant Lewis: Call him "Sir". He likes that.
Adele Cecil: Oh no. No, I'll stick to "Morse" - like everyone else.
Chief Inspector Morse: [raises beer glass] Cheers.
