- Alice Morton: It's getting rather late. If you'd like to retire, Jarvis will show you to your room.
- Jarvis: [to Dick and Gus] Walk this way, please.
- [Jarvis pivots and, with arms akimbo, struts from the room. Dick and Gus shrug and follow, mimicking Jarvis' movements]
- Jarvis: [to Dick and Gus] Your quarters, gentlemen. I trust you will be comfortable... but I doubt it.
- Wanda: So we're going to have detectives prying about.
- Mr. Grooch: Ah, but suppose an accident should happen to them?
- Luke: Hey, boss - can I be the accident?
- Wanda: Have you no finesse? Always with the hands! Look at these...
- [Wanda rattles a pill box]
- Wanda: Two little pills, two little drinks, two ex-detectives.
- Dick: It's ridiculous to be afraid.
- Alice Morton: Then you'll help me?
- Dick: Of course we will.
- Alice Morton: Good. Here's the address and your retainer fee. I'll expect you... You're insured, of course?
- Alice Morton: [introducing Dick and Gus to Grooch] Gentlemen, this is Mr. Grooch, our attorney. They're going to help us find Grandfather.
- Mr. Grooch: Oh, really? Then I suppose you'll want to search for clues. Would you rather start where the ghostly white figures were seen or where we found the pool of blood?
- Dick: We'll just mosey around and look the place over.
- Alice Morton: Please be careful.
- Mr. Grooch: Yes, it's very hard to get blood stains out of the rugs.
