Jessica Fletcher : [at the Founder's Day picnic] Well, how does this sound? "Captain Joshua Wayne, a free-spirited adventurer who seized opportunities wherever he could find them."
Lois : Jessica, he was a pirate.
Jessica Fletcher : Well. I'm trying to state that as delicately as I can.
Lois : You don't have to do that. We've always been very proud of Captain Wayne and his Yankee gumption.
Jessica Fletcher : And nobody cares that he fought on the British side in the Revolutionary War?
Lois : [shocked] He didn't?
Jessica Fletcher : He most certainly did!
Lois : [grabs Jessica's arm and lowers her voice] Jessica, you certainly can't let that get around.

Capt. Ethan Cragg : I'm sorry to eat and run, Jess, but they're having a tournament on that arcade game, and since I am the current record holder, I feel obliged to defend my title.
Jessica Fletcher : Well, dishes can wait. Would you mind if I competed?
Capt. Ethan Cragg : You? It really would be kind of a waste of a good quarter.
Jessica Fletcher : Well, maybe. But I better warn you. I've been practicing a little.
Capt. Ethan Cragg : Practicing? How much practicing?
