[Morris Weissman is asked about his upcoming movie project]
Lady Sylvia McCordle : Mr Weissman.
Morris Weissman : Yes?
Lady Sylvia McCordle : Tell us about the film you're going to make.
Morris Weissman : Oh, sure. It's called "Charlie Chan In London". It's a detective story.
Mabel Nesbitt : Set in London?
Morris Weissman : Well, not really. Most of it takes place at a shooting party in a country house. Sort of like this one, actually. Murder in the middle of the night, a lot of guests for the weekend, everyone's a suspect. You know, that sort of thing.
Constance : How horrid. And who turns out to have done it?
Morris Weissman : Oh, I couldn't tell you that. It would spoil it for you.
Constance : Oh, but none of us will see it.

Morris Weissman : How do you manage to put up with these people?

Ivor Novello : Morris... I'm used to it.

Morris Weissman : [after Jennings suggests Mr. Weissman choose his own breakfast items] Oh, like cafeteria style?
