Quotes4

  • The Unknown: What I'd like to know is how did you get the dope from headquarters on this case?
  • Detective Anderson: The same way I get everything, with my mind. I've got the greatest brain that ever existed.
  • Detective Anderson: Did you do much looking around?
  • Detective Jones: Did I? That's just what I was doing when somebody socked me with a piano.
  • Cornelia van Gorder: [Anderson picks up a gun after Fleming is killed] Why that's my revolver!
  • Detective Anderson: [inspects it] One shot fired.
  • Cornelia van Gorder: I fired that shot myself last night.
  • Detective Anderson: Nice try, Miss Van Gorder, but I'm placing your niece under arrest for the murder of Courtleigh Fleming.
  • Cornelia van Gorder: You can't arrest her without a coroner's verdict, and you'll have to wait on Dr. Vanrees for that.
  • Detective Anderson: Miss Van Gorder, when I find a need to make an arrest, I'll make it! And I won't wait for any coroner's verdict.
  • Detective Jones: Hey, what type of joint is this?
  • Detective Anderson: Who are you?
  • Detective Jones: Who am I? Who do you think I am? W.T. Jones. Super-sleuth of Oakdale County.
