Clouseau:
Facts, Hercule, facts. Nothing matters but the facts. Without them, the science of criminal investigation is nothing more than a guessing game. You listen to me, Hercule, and you will learn something. Now, then. The facts in this case are... the body of the chauffeur was found in the bedroom of the second aid. Fact. Cause of death - four bullets in the chest. Fact. The bullets were fired at close range from a .25 caliber Beretta automatic. Fact. Maria Gambrelli was discovered with the murder weapon in her hand. Fact. The murder weapon was registered in the name of the deceased, Miguel Ostos, and was kept, mark you, in the glove compartment of the Ballon Rolls-Royce. Fact. Now, then. Members of the household staff have testified that Miguel Ostos beat... Careful, you fool. You broken my pointing stick. I've got nothing to point with now... .have testified that Miguel Ostos beat Maria Gambrelli frequently. And, now, finally comes the sworn statement of Monsieur and Madame Ballon, as well as all the members of the staff, each of them with perfect alibis. Now then, Hercule, what is the inescapable conclusion? Hercule LaJoy:
Maria Gambrelli killed the chauffeur. Clouseau:
What? You idiot. Impossible. She's protecting someone. Hercule LaJoy:
How do you know that?
