Quotes 

• James T. West : Back to Washington, huh, Ned?

  Ned Brown : Nope. I'm off on a well-deserved vacation.

  James T. West : London, Paris or Rome?

  Ned Brown : [Shaking head no]  I'm going to make a big dream come true. And do you know what my big dream is? I'm going to spend my vacation all alone... on a desert island.

• James T. West : Ned, there goes our main lead. He's now a customer of his own establishment.

  Ned Brown : Swanson's dead?

  James T. West : A small matter of murder. Before he could tell me what the key opens... That leaves us with Sabitini's girlfriend.

  Ned Brown : She's not who we expected, Jim. She's a lovely girl of 18, and she's blind.

  James T. West : Well... what about the Madonna statue?

  Ned Brown : Seems a the logical place to look for a Madonna would be in a church.

  James T. West : The local church burned down years ago.

  Ned Brown : Which leaves the cemetery; might be on a headstone.

  James T. West : Why don't you try the cemetery? I'm gonna take a ride out to the Noland home. Mrs. Noland should know quite a bit about this old town.

  Sheriff Chayne : [walks towards Ned and Jim]  I thought I heard a ruckus going on here.

  [to Ned] 

  Sheriff Chayne : Who are you? If you don't mind my asking.

  Ned Brown : Not at all. My name is Tobias.

  Sheriff Chayne : You don't say.

  Ned Brown : On the contrary, I do say, sir.

  [to Jim, pretending to not know who he is] 

  Ned Brown : Good evening to you, sir...

  [turns back to the sheriff] 

  Ned Brown : ... and Sheriff.

  James T. West : Good evening.

  Sheriff Chayne : What's his business here?

  James T. West : It's your town, Sheriff.

  Sheriff Chayne : Did you finish your business with Mr. Swanson?

  James T. West : It's finished for me.

  Sheriff Chayne : What exactly does that mean?

  James T. West : He's dead.

  [puts on his hat and leaves]
