Velie: Don't worry about Ellery, Inspector. I'm sure he's on his way.
Inspector Queen: Yeah, like I was sure he'd made these reservations. I had to tip the headwaiter ten bucks for this table.

Mrs. Velie: I haven't danced like this in years.
Inspector Queen: (trips) Neither have I, dear lady.
|
Lady Frawley: Well, I never!
Halliday: Oh, but you have, my dear.

|
Velie: Madge is really light on her feet.
Inspector Queen: On hers--yes.

Lady Frawley: (to Emma) Where were you , Miss Goody Two Shoes?
|
Lady Frawley: We ought to sue you for false arrest.
Inspector Queen: No one is arrested.

Kemmelman: New Year's Eve is always bad for me and Ethel. Who wants to invite an undertaker to a party?
|
Ellery: (to cabbie) If I don't get to 124 West End Avenue there's liable to be two murders tonight.
|
Velie: Any luck, Inspector?
Inspector Queen: It's narrowing down.
Velie: To whom?
Inspector Queen: Everyone in that room.
|
Kitty: Happy 1947, Ellery Queen.
Ellery: Happy 1947, Kitty McBride.
