Quotes
-
Harry Wharton : Was I presumptuous to have let myself in?
Sergeant Regan : Do you know this man?
Alice Hill : Yes, this is Mr. Bentley. He's a customer of mine.
Sergeant Regan : I'm sorry, Miss Hill. I saw him enter the apartment, but I thought...
Alice Hill : That's all right, Officer. I've known Mr. Bentley for some time.
Harry Wharton : I found Miss Hill's key in my own pocket of all places, and dropped in to return it. I must have picked it up off your desk this morning by mistake.
Alice Hill : Thank you so much. I'm glad to have it back. I'm always losing it.
Harry Wharton : I also brought these, in case my unexpected visit should have displeased you.
[He hands her a small bouquet]
Alice Hill : Oh, not at all. Thank you. You know Miss Tuttle, and this is Mr. Keats and Officer Regan. You remember Mr. Bentley. He was foreman of our jury.
Joe Keats : Mr. Bentley, I've been wanting to get in touch with you.
Harry Wharton : That's quite a coincidence, because I've been thinking of getting in touch with you, Mr. Keats.
Tex Tuttle : It's fate, that's what it is. Alice, you brought Joe and Mr. Bentley together. Now I'll go bring some coffee and water together and see what comes of that.

Tex Tuttle : This coffee's so strong now it ought to be carrying me instead of vice versa. Well, what happened to our little prowler?
Alice Hill : Oh, he asked to be excused.
Tex Tuttle : Want to know a secret? I think Mr. Bentley's kind of sweet on a certain young lady.
