Dialogue

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.
