Sheriff
- Sheriff: Here's the autopsy report, Mannix. You can check it out yourself.
- Joe Mannix: How much, uh, alcohol did the postmortem show?
- Sheriff: Digby says about two-tenths of one percent. Now, that ain't a buzz, that's drunk.
- Joe Mannix: Digby being the coroner.
- Sheriff: Right.
- Joe Mannix: Did Vic Henshaw have a reputation as a drinker?
- Sheriff: No, I can't say he did. But he must've been hitting the booze pretty good Sunday morning. We found a fifth of bourbon in the back of his car almost empty.
- Joe Mannix: The coroner, uh, Mr. Digby, lists the specific cause of death as a broken neck.
- Sheriff: You fall thirty feet, you're a cinch to break something. Look, Mannix, I know the Henshaw girl's upset, but facts are facts. Vic fell off that rig, thirty feet, and he got hung up on a bulldozer, and that's all she wrote. Do you want some coffee?
- Joe Mannix: Uh, no thanks. Did *you* find the body, Sheriff?
- Sheriff: No. I went fishing on Sunday morning. A couple of my deputies brought Vic in. Pete LeMaster. Dave Benedict.
- Joe Mannix: Miss Henshaw says she told you her brother was a diabetic and couldn't drink.
- Sheriff: "Couldn't" ain't the same as "didn't". I checked this all out with my deputies, Mannix. There was nobody else out there at the plant Sunday when Vic went off that rig. The fall and the booze, that's what killed him.
