Lefty O'Doyle
- Inspector: Now, if you please, where is alleged cat?
- Lefty O'Doyle: How do I know? He got away. I missed him clean.
- Inspector: Then where is bullet, please?
- Lefty O'Doyle: Mister - you got me.
- Inspector: Bullet in cat, perhaps?
- Lefty O'Doyle: No. If bullet in cat, cat wouldn't have got away.
- Inspector: To whom did alleged cat belong?
- Lefty O'Doyle: I'm sure I don't know. I never saw him before.
- Inspector: Aha, and why was alleged cat shot?
- Lefty O'Doyle: Why do you suppose? Because I didn't like the sound of him.
- Inspector: The very important question, please - is witness in habit of shooting cats?
- Lefty O'Doyle: It's been known to happen where I come from.
- Inspector: And then perhaps witness' father also shoot cats?
- Lefty O'Doyle: You bet your life. And his father before him. We never let a cat break up a good poker game back in Idaho.
