• Garda Sloane : What's the matter?

  Joel Sloane : Come down here. Stick out your tongue.

  Garda Sloane : All of it? Oh, Doctor...

  Joel Sloane : Just as I thought.

  Garda Sloane : Don't you want to examine me? I have some very nice symptoms...

• Garda Sloane : Come on, dear. You've got to get dressed.

  Joel Sloane : Dressed for what?

  Garda Sloane : Ah, well, you wouldn't want to get buried in that suit, would you?

• Garda Sloane : Don't you ever find a middle-aged, unattractive suspect?

  Joel Sloane : They're just facts in a case to me, Garda. I don't see them as girls. A detective's first thought must be of his case.

  Garda Sloane : It's that second thought that worries me.

• Joel Sloane : [Leaving]  look, Darling, you order something. I'll be right back. I've got to see the manager. He distinctly promised me a room overlooking the ocean.

  Garda Sloane : But this one overlooks the ocean.

  Joel Sloane : But I don't like this ocean.

  [He leaves] 

  Garda Sloane : [the Bellboy chuckles]  What's funny?

  Brash Bellboy : Nothing... only the last place I worked was an insane asylum. I was hoping this'd be a little different.

• Garda Sloane : [Finding a tape measure that she suspects will be used on the beauty pageant candidates]  And what were you going to measure with this, Mr. Sloane?

  Joel Sloane : High tide.

• Chief Miller : [as they discover a girl's body on the floor]  Get a doctor quick!

  Joel Sloane : It'd have to be a very good doctor, Chief. This girl's dead.

• Garda Sloane : Darling, do you think they'll go on with the pageant despite all this dreadful business?

  Joel Sloane : I hope so.

  Garda Sloane : You would, you and your tape measure.

• Joel Sloane : You haven't got a horse whip on you?

  Garda Sloane : I couldn't get one - all the stores are closed. Ah, ha. You're a crazy, reckless idiot, but you're mine.

• Garda Sloane : Darling, try to restrain the beast in you. For a minute I thought you were whinnying.

  Joel Sloane : Did you see those shameless bathing suits? I was shocked.

  Garda Sloane : Yeah, you looked it.

• Joel Sloane : In college, we voted Mike the man most likely to succeed. He was class valedictorian too.

  Garda Sloane : What were you - class bum?
