Quotes3

  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: [Shaft is asking the butler about Brewster] How tall was he?
  • Butler: Oh, short. Very short, like you.
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: I'm six one, Milhouse.
  • Butler: You are? I'm five nine and you look shorter than me.
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: You're standing on the steps.
  • Butler: Oh. So I am.
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: Alright, where were you when you interviewed him?
  • Butler: Here. Right here, where we are.
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: You were up there and he was down here. Is that right?
  • Butler: I think so.
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: Let's see, those steps are about eight inches, so that means if he was six foot one he would have looked to you to be about 16 inches shorter. About four nine.
  • Butler: Right. Under five feet. Short. Only I think I was down here.
  • [He steps down to the floor]
  • Butler: And he was there.
  • [Shaft climbs up one step]
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: What the hell would he be doing up here?
  • Butler: Well, he was short, like I said, and maybe it made him feel better.
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: [Shaft sits on the step] Alright, he was up here and you were down there. Is that right?
  • Butler: Right.
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: And he looked to you to be about four foot nine?
  • Butler: That's right, short.
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: Jesus Christ, Milhouse, if he was four foot nine and he was standing on sixteen inches of steps that'd make him only three foot five.
  • Butler: That's right. He was short like you.
  • Officer Johnson: It was a mess, sir. You should have seen her.
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: Molested?
  • Officer Johnson: Molested?
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: Sexually. Was she sexually assaulted?
  • Officer Johnson: Oh, no. But, she sure was a mess, sir.
  • Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: Well, the guys a bird freak. It's probably a pet.
