  Peter Mason : [looking at Ellen]  Lovely coloring...

  Ellen Parker : And such soulful eyes.

  Franklin Dexter : My, very well connected, I should say.

• Peter Mason , Droopy , Maxie , Franklin Dexter : [singing]  Oh, what horse was Charley, Till he got a Charley horse...

• Peter Mason : Come on, Gabe. Blow, Gabriel, blow!

• Cora Withering : [on the phone]  We're giving a cocktail party at my home and we'd *love* to have you join us.

  Peter Mason : Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Mrs. Withering, but, I'm doing a little writing, right now.

  Cora Withering : Riding? In your hotel room?

  Peter Mason : Oh, no. No, I said writing.

  Cora Withering : Yes, I know you said riding. But, you're joking, aren't you?

  Peter Mason : Oh, no. No, Mrs. Withering, I'm not joking.

• Peter Mason : [Posing as Randall]  I understand he's a pretty vicious horse.

  Ellen Parker : Oh, no. He's just a little temperamental, that's all. That's because he hasn't met his master, yet. Gabe, would you give Mr. Randall some sugar?

  Gabe : Yes, ma'am.

  Peter Mason : No thanks. I never use it.

  Ellen Parker : Don't be silly! I meant it for the horse. I thought you might like to make friends.

• Jack Withering : I'm glad to see ol' Jeepers Creepers has finally met his master.

  Peter Mason : Well, I wish he'd meet his maker.

• Ellen Parker : Oh, the race is practically won! These are my colors.

  Peter Mason : Black and blue. Very appropriate.

• Peter Mason : [hears a knock at the door]  What's that?

  Franklin Dexter : Oh, I ordered coffee.

  Peter Mason : You ordered *what*?

  Franklin Dexter : Coffee.

  Peter Mason : I thought you said coffin.
