• 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.

• Franklyn Drew : I've just come from Chalmers' place. He's dead.

  Marcia Lane : Chalmers?

  Marcia Lane : You mean murdered?

  Franklyn Drew : If it isn't that, it's a good imitation of it.

• Sgt. Owen Hilliker : I'm beginnin' to think you're givin' us the razz.

  Franklyn Drew : Prove it. You're the detective.

• 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.

• 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.
