"I was in here at that time." "I never leave the safe open unless I'm in the office." "Did you let anyone in Mr. Manning?" "Mr. Platt had a couple of friends in."

"Well, you don't always miss the bus, do you, Galahad?" "Well, I got a call." "My sister's sick." "I'm sorry." "Hey, why did that cop search my bag when I left the hotel?"

"I told you you were welcome to stay at Indian Lake." "I meant it." "Thanks, Enid." "I was waiting for that." "This time I think I'll take you up on it." "I'm putting you on the train at Hazelton and I'm going back." "All right, dear." "After all, it is your vacation." "Yeah, you said that before." "You know, you've got a great routine, Enid."
