Quotes 

• Archie Goodwin : I won't even bother listening to you. Not after the way you've bungled things up here.

  [He reaches for the phone and while dialing adds in a teasing tone] 

  Archie Goodwin : All because a pretty girl called you by your first name.

  Nero Wolfe : She isn't pretty.

  [Indignantly and with a huff] 

  Nero Wolfe : Not pretty!

  Archie Goodwin : [while handing him the receiver, in a don't argue tone]  She was pretty!

• Archie Goodwin : [waiting for an apprehensive Wolfe to get out of the car and step in the snow]  Let's do it! C'mon while we're young!

  [sarcastically commenting on Wolfe's awkwardness walking in the snow] 

  Archie Goodwin : Indeed, just like Ray Bolger!

• Archie Goodwin : [reacting to a proposed bribe by Mrs. Pitcairn]  I was liking this more and more. We had our pick of goin' to jail and taking fifty grand.

• Nero Wolfe : [after he has fallen while tangled in brush]  It was as if a serpent had entangled my legs!

  Archie Goodwin : Get up. Get up. GET UP!

  Nero Wolfe : Did you see that? Did you witness that? Saul?

  Saul Panzer : Yeah, I saw it, Mr. Wolfe. He went for 'ya.
