- George Burns: Well, in about fifteen minutes, Gracie should be home and things will be back to abnormal again.
- Blanche Morton: Honey, you must have misunderstood the man on the train. Now if this Mr. Lindstrom intended murdering his wife, he isn't going to tell a stranger.
- Gracie Allen: But I'm not a stranger, you've known me for years and he told me!
- Detective Sawyer: Mrs. Burns, you say that this man on the train told you he was going to kill his wife. Let's start at the beginning.
- Gracie Allen: Alright. Uh, I was born in San Francisco and my mother and father...
- Detective Sawyer: Hold it! Hold it! That's not the beginning I meant.
- Gracie Allen: Well that's the only beginning I ever had!
- Gracie Allen: Well I remember people I saw when I was only four years old.
- Detective Sawyer: So you've got a good memory for faces then?
- Gracie Allen: Of course I have. When I was for years old I was too short to see their faces but I remember their knees!
- Detective Sawyer: Mrs. Burns, exactly where were you when the man told you that he was going to kill his wife?
- Gracie Allen: You mean when he started to tell me or when he finished?
- Detective Sawyer: What difference does it make?
- Gracie Allen: Ten miles, the train was going very fast!
- Harry von Zell: What are they in jail for?
- Gracie Allen: Well, they locked up Harry on suspicion of murder, and then they locked up George so I guess he suspects Harry too.
