Etienne Girardot credited as playing...
Dr. Doremus
- Dr. Doremus: [to Markham, angered that there is no body] I can't perform an autopsy on a theory! I'm a coroner, not a philosopher!
- Sergeant Ernest Heath: [Arriving at the crime scene] Well, where's the body?
- Sergeant Ernest Heath: I'm afraid there ain't any, Doc.
- Dr. Doremus: [Annoyed] You called me away from my breakfast for nothing?
- Sergeant Ernest Heath: Well, at least you got a sniff at it. That's more than we've had.
- Dr. Doremus: Well, where was the body when you phoned?
- Sergeant Ernest Heath: We thought it was in the pool.
- Dr. Doremus: [Annoyed] I don't want thoughts; I want bodies, and when there aren't any bodies, I want to be left alone!
- Dr. Doremus: [Leaving the scene, thoroughly annoyed that the body was not dead] Now I'm going to get some breakfast...
- [turning for one last word]
- Dr. Doremus: ... and, Heath, don't you call me out here again unless you've got a corpse. I'm here as a coroner, not as a doctor!
- Sergeant Ernest Heath: [shouting after him sarcastically] Why don't you learn to carry a hard-boiled egg in your pocket?
- Dr. Doremus: Ernest, it's clear that you don't know much about women. Now I'll tell you, women are, generally speaking...
- Sergeant Ernest Heath: You certainly said it! They ARE generally speaking!
- Dr. Doremus: [Sgt. Heath has been called to the phone] If it's my wife, tell her I've gone.
- Sergeant Ernest Heath: That'll please her!
