- Jessica Fletcher: Well, of course it's the murder weapon. Whoever heard of framing anyone with the wrong gun?
- Sadie Winthrope: Isn't it great how they treat us here? Cigarettes, bourbon, sex...

- Sadie Winthrope: ... all gone.

- Milton Porter: Now, if you'll just allow me to get you to the airport...
- Jessica Fletcher: Oh, thanks. I have a taxi waiting. Good-bye, Mr. Porter.
- Milton Porter: "Good-bye"? Ms. Fletcher, is that all you've got to say to me after all we've been thorough... "Good-bye"?
- Jessica Fletcher: There is one other thing... See you in court.
- Jessica Fletcher: Mr. Porter, this was an accident. I don't want to sue.
- Milton Porter: Hush, ma'am. Talk like that... put us lawyers out of business.

- Milton Porter: [on phone] Son, I don't care. You get your shiny little backside down to that jail and you don't leave until you talk to him. And when I say "talk," I mean get his John Hancock and a retainer. You got me?
- Milton Porter: Henry, I'm drivin' this little lady to Dr. Sam's. You stay here and you be sure to file a police report. Get the names and addresses of all these witnesses.
- Jessica Fletcher: Oh, Mr. Porter. Really.
- Milton Porter: Oh, gross negligence, open and shut. We're lookin' at fifty thousand here, minimum.
- Jessica Fletcher: Oh, that's ridiculous.
- Milton Porter: You're right. We'll make it a hundred thousand.
