Quotes9

  • Jackson 'Jack' Durant: What time did they leave?
  • Layton: Right after you passed out, sir.
  • Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Well, I hope you took over my duties as host, Layton.
  • Layton: Yes sir, I took the big blonde home.
  • Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Take this away. Get me a drink.
  • Layton: But, Mr. Durant, are you going to continue this drinking?
  • Jackson 'Jack' Durant: I'll drink as long as I have a hangover and I'll have a hangover as long as I drink. It's a vicious circle Layton.
  • Layton: I must say the young ladies conducted themselves very well. There were only six broken tumblers, three plates cracked, and five holes burnt in the rugs.
  • Layton: I hope this will teach Mr. Durant only to take murderers from the best families.
  • Gertie Waxted: Tell me Layton, as pal to pal, did you like her?
  • Layton: Well, she never struck me. Oh, I beg your pardon, Madame. I mean she always seemed pretty and very nice; but, she never did appeal to the beast in me.
  • Jackson Durant: As a matter of idle curiosity, will you tell me why I slept at that end?
  • Layton: You said you wished to sleep with your head toward the entrance.
  • Jackson Durant: Yes, I vaguely remember I went to a party last night. Where was it?
  • Layton: Right here, sir.
  • Jackson Durant: Uh, did I have a good time?
  • Layton: Yes.
  • Jackson Durant: Good.
  • Layton: You were in a very generous mood, sir. But I persuaded the young lady to whom you gave the grand piano it would be difficult to get movers over at night.
  • Layton: What is it, sir? What is it?
  • Jackson Durant: [after hanging up on a threatening phone call] Someone's just convinced me that Siddall is innocent.
