Dialogue
edit- Franklyn Drew: I've just come from Chalmers' place. He's dead.
- Marcia Lane: Chalmers?
- Franklyn Drew: Poisoned.
- Marcia Lane: You mean murdered?
- Franklyn Drew: If it isn't that, it's a good imitation of it.
- Franklyn Drew: Poison, all right. Familiar smelling stuff too.
- Officer Gulliver: [smells glass] Boy! That guy'd drink anything that wasn't too thick to chew.
- Officer Gulliver: Mr. Drew, I've been thinking.
- Franklyn Drew: No!
- Officer Gulliver: Yeah. The first thing I ask myself when I investigates a murder is 'who done it'.
- Franklyn Drew: Well that sounds logical.
- Officer Gulliver: And the next thing I ask myself is 'who could do it.'
- Franklyn Drew: And then?
- Officer Gulliver: Then I ask myself again 'who wanted to do it.'
- Franklyn Drew: And how do you answer yourself?
- Officer Gulliver: Well... I ain't come to that yet.
- Det. Lt. Sheehan: Everybody here seems to know more about police matters than the police.
- Franklyn Drew: It's noble of you to admit it.
- Det. Lt. Sheehan: It's as simple as A-B-C.
- Franklyn Drew: Yes it would be if you thought of it.
- Sgt. Owen Hilliker: I'm beginnin' to think you're givin' us the razz.
- Franklyn Drew: Prove it. You're the detective.
- Det. Lt. Sheehan: What are you and that Keystone Cop doing here?
- Officer Gulliver: Now lookie here, Sheehan, you can't talk that way about me. Remember, I'm Chief of the Studio Police and I got rights! I... I...
- Det. Lt. Sheehan: Nature in the raw.
