Franklyn Drew: If it isn't that, it's a good imitation of it. Franklyn Drew: Poison, all right. Familiar smelling stuff too. Officer Gulliver: [smells glass] Boy! That guy'd drink anything that wasn't too thick to chew. Officer Gulliver: Mr. Drew, I've been thinking. Franklyn Drew: No! Officer Gulliver: Yeah. The first thing I ask myself when I investigates a murder is 'who done it'. Franklyn Drew: Well that sounds logical. Officer Gulliver: And the next thing I ask myself is 'who could do it.' Franklyn Drew: And then? Officer Gulliver: Then I ask myself again 'who wanted to do it.' Franklyn Drew: And how do you answer yourself? Officer Gulliver: Well... I ain't come to that yet. Det. Lt. Sheehan: Everybody here seems to know more about police matters than the police. Franklyn Drew: It's noble of you to admit it. Det. Lt. Sheehan: It's as simple as A-B-C. Franklyn Drew: Yes it would be if you thought of it. Sgt. Owen Hilliker: I'm beginnin' to think you're givin' us the razz. Franklyn Drew: Prove it. You're the detective. Det. Lt. Sheehan: What are you and that Keystone Cop doing here? Officer Gulliver: Now lookie here, Sheehan, you can't talk that way about me. Remember, I'm Chief of the Studio Police and I got rights! I... I... Det. Lt. Sheehan: Nature in the raw. Taglines Movie star MURDERED! KILLER on the loose!
