- Tim Rourke: Headline: "Famous Detective Meets Sad End".
- Nurse: Are you coming to see Mr. Shayne?
- Tim Rourke: Well, that was my original intention, but I could be sidetracked very easily.
- Nurse: Sorry, sir. Sidetracking isn't one of my duties. Are you a doctor?
- Tim Rourke: Well, in a way, in a way. Let me put it like this - I specialize in eye, ear, nose and throat and you have a combination they forgot to tell us about in med school.

- Nurse: Much better than you are.
