• Milo Perrier : He's gone!

  Jessica Marbles : Who's gone?

  Milo Perrier : The butler. Here's the key.

  Sidney Wang : If butler gone, where you find key?

  Milo Perrier : In his pocket.

  Jessica Marbles : What pocket?

  Milo Perrier : The butler's pocket.

  Sidney Wang : Butler gone but pocket still there?

• Inspector Milo Perrier : Everything here has been rented for tonight. The butler, the cook, the food, the dining room chairs, everything!

  Jessica Marbles : You mean...

  Inspector Milo Perrier : Yes. This entire murder has been... catered.

• Jessica Marbles : Good God, gas!

  Miss Withers : I'm sorry. I can't help it, I'm old.

  Jessica Marbles : No, no the other kind of gas. The kind that kills!

  Miss Withers : Sometimes my gas...

• Sidney Wang : It is late, and my eyes are getting tired.

  Sam Diamond : I thought they always looked like that.

  Jessica Marbles : Knock it off, Sam!

  Sam Diamond : I apologize. This case is getting to me. I'm sorry, Slanty.

  Sidney Wang : Um... thank you.

• Jessica Marbles : I'm not one to use hyperbole, ladies and gentlemen but I'll tell you this, for the first time in my life I had the caca scared out of me!

  Dora Charleston : Dickie, I like her. I really like her!

• Miss Withers : Murderpoo?

  Jessica Marbles : Yes, dear, we're going to have a lovely murderpoo.

• Inspector Milo Perrier : Touch nothing!

  Jessica Marbles : Will you stop saying "touch nothing?" We're all experienced criminologists. I find it insulting, debasing, and redundant to keep telling us to "touch nothing!"

  Inspector Milo Perrier : Oh, be quiet, woman!

  Jessica Marbles : Up yours, fella!

  Sidney Wang : Most amusing. Bickering detectives like making lamb stew: everything goes to pot!

• Jessica Marbles : Good God. What an entrance.

• [everyone holds hands to prevent themselves from being killed] 

  Sam Diamond : Stop that. Stop it, I said.

  Dick Charleston : What is it, Diamond?

  Sam Diamond : The nurse is giving my palm the finger, the dirty old broad.

  Jessica Marbles : Naughty! Naughty, Miss Withers!

  [Miss Withers giggles] 

• Jessica Marbles : I could use a good stiff shot, Mr. Charleston. I believe that booze, as you call it, is your department.

• Jessica Marbles : I was not jilted! I walked out on him. He wanted to fool around before the wedding.

  Inspector Milo Perrier : And being the lady you are, you refused.

  Jessica Marbles : No. Not completely. But, it got out of hand.
