Dr. Doremus : [to the butler who's showing him in] I don't need an usher to lead me to a corpse.
[to Markham and Vance]
Dr. Doremus : Evening, Mr. Markham. Evening, Mr. Vance.
Sergeant Ernest Heath : [sarcastically] What! No kiss for me, honey?
Dr. Doremus : Ah!
Philo Vance : [as Doremus takes a sandwich out of his bag] My dear doctor, what is that?
Dr. Doremus : My dinner.
District Attorney Markham : You're not going to eat in here?
Dr. Doremus : Why not? For fourteen years you've called me from my soup to look at some dissipated cadaver. From now on, I'll eat with some corpse.
Sergeant Ernest Heath : Don't forget, Doc, Christmas dinner at the morgue.
Dr. Doremus : [Deadpan] I hope to see you there.
