Jane Patterson: Lizzie, Warner's not in his room, there's no sign of him anywhere!
Detective Davenport: I was supposed to keep an eye on that guy.
Lizzie Allen: Where's Miss Cornelia? That's what I want to know!
Detective Davenport: Wait a minute, didn't you say the chain and the bolt were off on the front door?
Lizzie Allen: I certainly did.
Detective Davenport: Well Maybe Miss Van Gorder went outside.
Lizzie Allen: Oh she never would, we better look.

Frank Prentiss: Good luck on your murder. Oh, I say,
[takes out a newspaper]
Frank Prentiss: there was a very nice one in the Fall River thing. The killer used an axe and...
Alice Prentiss: Oh no no, don't tell me now, Frank, save it.
Frank Prentiss: I shall.
[leaves the room]
Alice Prentiss: Oh, Frank! Do they know who did it?
Frank Prentiss: Know who... oh no no, some neighbors saw him, but he was wearing a mask.
Alice Prentiss: [writing, narrating] His impersonation of the man he had killed was perfect. The mask he wore was equally perfect. Another face that fitted him like an outer skin. Thin as tissue and elastic enough to give with every move of the facial muscles.

Alice Prentiss: Frank, I've got it!
Frank Prentiss: Your plot?
Alice Prentiss: No, what actually happened. Remember I told you how much Mr. Gallico reminded me of Ormond?
Frank Prentiss: Yes.
Alice Prentiss: Well there had to be a reason for that and I think I know what it is. They've never found a trace of Ormond! I don't believe that he was ever in this house! I believe it was Gallico who rented those rooms upstairs!
Frank Prentiss: Wearing grease paint make?
Alice Prentiss: Oh no Frank, no, you were right about that, it had to be more than a makeup, I think it was a mask!
Frank Prentiss: Alice!
Alice Prentiss: A face I mean! The face of Ormond! That must have been his secret. How else could he have made those quick changes in his show?

Lizzie Allen: [knocking on the door] Hurry will you? It's Lizzie...
[Jane Patterson opens her door]
Lizzie Allen: I'm terribly worried, I can't find Miss Cornelia anywhere, and something's happened to the policeman, I don't know what...get Warner, bring him to the drawing room, tell him we need him!

Karen Lee: [to Bruce] I should think you would be sorry. What you told me about Mr. Gallico on the phone is simply impossible. Why he's the kindest, sweetest man I know.
Alice Prentiss: What he told you on the phone was my theory, not his, Karen.
Karen Lee: Well how can you even think such a thing?
Alice Prentiss: I'm sorry, I like Mr. Gallico too.

Cornelia van Gorder: [on the phone] Yes will you connect me to Dr. Malcolm Wells' office please? ...No I don't know his number and I have no phone book up here but it's an emergency, will you connect me please?
Lizzie Allen: Dear oh dear, I'm going to get the rabies!
Woman: Hello?
Cornelia van Gorder: Hello! Dr. Wells' Office?
Woman: This is the call service. Dr. Wells is out at the moment but if you'll give me your name, I'll try to locate him.
Cornelia van Gorder: Well this is Miss Van Gorder at the Oaks. My maid has just been bitten by a bat that may be rabid and she must have medical treatment as soon as possible. And I was told that Dr. Wells is the nearest physician.
Woman: I'll try to locate him for you but if I can't, I'll send you another doctor.
Cornelia van Gorder: Well thank you very much.
[hangs up]
Cornelia van Gorder: Oh he's out on a case! I hope it's not a delivery, a baby I mean they can be terribly complicated!
Lizzie Allen: It never bothered me none.
Cornelia van Gorder: Oh Lizzie, you never had a baby.
Lizzie Allen: Of course I didn't, that's why it never bothered me!

Cornelia van Gorder: Relax, relax Lizzie the police did a good job, they couldn't find anybody in here.
Lizzie Allen: But we both saw him, Miss Cornelia!
Cornelia van Gorder: Allright, allright, so he got away, but there are men on guard outside, so just try to get some rest, there's nothing that can get us in here.
Lizzie Allen: Hmm...
