Inspector Queen: (about his part in the movie) They're trimming me down to a walk-on. |
Inspector Queen: At least they got the furniture right.
Ellery: Yeah, that's about it. |
Inspector Queen: Keep your eyes open, son. This is the real Hollywood. |
Pierce: (to the Queens) If you're looking for glamor I'm afraid you picked the wrong studio. This one operates on a very thin shoestring. |
Inspector Queen (about Briggs) They must have had their eyes closed when they cast him. Chester Morris would have been perfect. |
Ellery: Something wrong?
Pierce: I guess you've never heard of the battling Mallorys. They make Punch and Judy look like Hansel and Gretel. |
Claire: (to Mallory) Goodbye, darling. And I do mean goodbye. |
Raynor: I don't gamble on unknowns especially stunt men who think they can act. |
Raynor (about Claire) Inspector, methinks the lady doth protest too much. |
Inspector Queen: Thank you very much, Mr. Raynor, for the glimpse of Hollywood beneath the tinsel. I was happier with the tinsel. |
Inspector Queen: (about his trip to Graumann's Chinese Theatre) My feet are exactly the same size as Pat O'Brien's. |
Raynor: Mr. Queen, I don't have to explain anything to you. You signed away your rights. You have no control whatsoever over the material. |
Inspector Queen: (to Ellery about Sonny North) He doesn't look anymore like you than the man in the moon. |
Inspector Queen: Sergeant Velie!
Sgt. Harris: My name is Harris, Inspector.
Inspector Queen: Sorry, forgot where I was. |
Pamela: Do you think I would murder two men just to get an Oscar-winning role in a major motion picture? |
Ellery: Mrs. Mallory, may I see that script.
Claire: You're the director. |
