• Cora Tench : Don't just sit there, Fred; go out and look for him. After all, he's your dog.

  Fred Tench : What do you mean 'my dog'? I only bought the mutt so you two could bark at each other and leave me in peace.

• Sergeant McGoogan : Let me check this description again, Mrs. Tench. Collar yellow, eyes narrow and close together, weak chin, drools in the car. Well, that's a description of the missing dog!

  Cora Tench : That's a description of both missing dogs, Sergeant. Look, all I know two nights ago, my idiot husband went next door looking for his idiot mutt and I haven't seen hide nor hair of either one since.

• Sergeant McGoogan : You said he didn't pack a bag. We checked the railroad station, the bus depot and the taxi companies and there's no withdraw from your bank account.

  Cora Tench : I certainly hope not.

  Sergeant McGoogan : And we checked all the bars and taverns, the bottom of Mill Creek, the sand and gravel pit and homes of three ladies whose husbands travel extensively. Was he insured?

  Cora Tench : You mean did I do away with him? Not yet.

• Cora Tench : He had just told me that you had transformed Fred into a frog.

  Mr. Rana : Oh, he did, did he?

  Cora Tench : Imagine that. With a wave of your magic wand... or don't they use those anymore?

  Mr. Rana : Oh, quite obsolete, quite obsolete, Cora. Now days, we would use a chemical decoction; something colorless, tasteless, with perhaps just a faint odor of pond water, but disguised in the heavier scent of, say, whiskey.

• Cora Tench : My husband couldn't disappear without a trace. He's too irritating.
