Quotes
-
Professor Anthony : I trust there hasn't been an accident?
Trooper Ross Martin : Not an accident, Sir. A murder.
Nan : A murder! Not near here?
Trooper Ross Martin : Right up the road, Miss Anthony. Just a couple of gangsters. They turned on a smokescreen and got away.
Nan : Smokescreen? What's that? Oh, I'm petrified.
Professor Anthony : The modern criminal has become a versatile fellow, hasn't he, Martin?
Trooper Ross Martin : He certainly has, Sir. Uses flop-over licence plates and..
Nan : Flop-over what?
Trooper Ross Martin : Car licence plates. If we're hunting a Michigan car, they sometimes flopover to Indiana plates after the first half mile and sail right past.
Professor Anthony : Gangsters! Up Here! Smokescreen. Smokescreen? Yes. Who would believe that this was anno domini 1935?
Trooper Ross Martin : Well, I'm sorry to go Sir but I have to shakedown all the garages and barns round here looking for that car.
Nan : Shakedown? Oh, that would be thrilling. Think of going back to Boston and telling our friends that we'd been shaken down!
Nan : Oh, my dear Nan do be serious and remember that this is a ghastly business.
Nan : Oh, Daddy, please let him shake us down! Just this once.
Professor Anthony : You see, Martin. My daughter enjoys a thrill. It's probably due to the sheltered life she's led.
Nan : [to Martin] Come on, I'll show you our garage. I can just see the headlines: "Police search Professor's garage." What colour car was it?
Trooper Ross Martin : Light grey. Well goodbye, Professor. And thanks for the use of the phone.
