• Rigby Reardon : [on the phone]  Mrs. Hastings?

  Leona : Yes?

  Rigby Reardon : My name's Reardon. Sorry to hear your father's passed on.

  Leona : No, he hasn't. He won't be back till Sunday.

  Rigby Reardon : Sunday? You don't understand, Mrs. Hastings. I'm investigating your father's death.

  Leona : Well, that's absurd! My father called me from Chicago tonight. He never mentioned a word!

  Rigby Reardon : Maybe it slipped his mind. Look, uh, your father is dead, Mrs. Hastings. Your sister Juliet feels his death wasn't an accident.

  Leona : What are you talking about? Why are you calling me like this? I had a long talk with him just a little while ago. He told me some terrible things about you.

  Rigby Reardon : Listen, you phony fruitcake!

  [pause] 

  Rigby Reardon : Sorry I called you a fruitcake, Mrs. Hastings. It's just that I don't have time to listen to...

  Leona : [interrupting]  All right, don't listen! Who cares?

  [She slams the phone down] 

  Rigby Reardon : [to Juliet]  Your sister has a lot to learn about phone courtesy.

• Rigby Reardon : Get your sister Leona for me.

  Juliet Forrest : All right. I'm afraid she may not be very much help. She's very disturbed.

  Rigby Reardon : How disturbed?

  Juliet Forrest : She's been diagnosed as a paranoid hypochondriac. Doctors think she may be faking.

  Rigby Reardon : I'll know after one word if she's faking.

  Leona : [attending the telephone]  Hello?

  Rigby Reardon : [to Juliet]  She's faking.
