[At Chet Gwynn's murder trial, Anthony Lawrence sets up a demonstration to test butler George Archibald's ability to name a type of liquor by smelling it]
George Archibald : [Sniffing a glass] It is Royal Tartan Scotch. Unmistakable. Rich heavy bouquet with a definite aroma of peat smoke.
Anthony Judson Lawrence : [Hands him another glass] Now, the third glass.
George Archibald : This is water, sir. There is no smell, except perhaps for a faint touch of chlorine, which the city puts in its drinking water. I trust you weren't trying to trick me into identifying it as liquor.
Anthony Judson Lawrence : It's water? Are you sure? I don't understand.
George Archibald : You will note there is no label. I believe you gave me your water glass.
Anthony Judson Lawrence : Well, I'm terribly sorry. I guess I made a mistake.
George Archibald : Well, perhaps it's not in vain. Since my throat is a little dry, you'll pardon me.
[He drinks the glass, coughs]
George Archibald : It's gin! It's gin! You've tricked me!
Anthony Judson Lawrence : That's right!
[Takes the glass]
Anthony Judson Lawrence : Your Honor, I submit this as Exhibit D!

Joan Dickinson : At least you have someplace to go.
Anthony Judson Lawrence : Haven't you?
Joan Dickinson : Are you kidding? I have no talents. Nothing. I was very well educated to be an idiot. And I was a very good student.

Anthony Judson Lawrence : This isn't very conducive to sensible thinking. I better go back before...
Joan Dickinson : I don't want sensible thinking!
Anthony Judson Lawrence : Neither do I.

Chester A. 'Chet' Gwynn : Did you ever see a babe with two heads?
Anthony Judson Lawrence : No. Come on, call her!
Chester A. 'Chet' Gwynn : No.
Anthony Judson Lawrence : Come on, Chet.
Chester A. 'Chet' Gwynn : Tony.
Anthony Judson Lawrence : Two heads... then we can both talk to her! And she doesn't have to bring a friend!
