- Sheriff Mort Metzger: You got that look on your face again. Why do I have that feeling that you're gonna tell me something I really don't want to hear?
- [last lines]
- Jessica Fletcher: Well, now that we have ironed that one out, gentlemen, do you suppose you could put your heads together and save Sheriff Metzger from his misery?
- Dr. Seth Hazlitt: Absolutely. And Dr. Beckwith and I can take that under advisement. In the meantime, as far as I'm concerned, he can suffer.
- Sheriff Mort Metzger: Doc!
- Sheriff Mort Metzger: [Sheriff Metzger is seeing Dr. Hazlitt about a persistent cough.] I'm telling you, Doc, I feel like I've had this cough about half my life. I mean, shouldn't I be taking some kind of a pill or a shot or test or something?
- Dr. Seth Hazlitt: Pills or tests or something cost money. I don't figure you're all that anxious to spend unnecessarily. Not on what you get paid and, frankly, I don't think you need them, anyway.
- Dr. Seth Hazlitt: [Sheriff Metzger continues to cough.] Sheriff, if I could help you, I would. As I said, chances are you're tired. Your resistance is down. Nothing that a week in the Bahamas wouldn't fix just fine.
- Sheriff Mort Metzger: Oh, that's just wonderful! If I can't afford medical care, how can I afford a trip to the tropics?
- [He coughs and walks away.]
- Dr. Seth Hazlitt: Man has no sense of logic.

- Jessica Fletcher: [opening door] Oh, Harriet, you don't know how welcome you are.
- Harriet Simmons Wooster: I'm sorry it took me so long to get here, Jessica. I was fixing some bugs on a new program.
- Jessica Fletcher: Mm-hmm
- Harriet Simmons Wooster: And when you start rewriting codes, time gets away from you.
