00:54 Look all over him
00:21 She murdered herself in her sleep
00:48 Something isn't right in all of this
01:11 Sorry about that
00:19 The nurse is giving my palm the finger
02:28 The world's five greatest living detectives
00:49 There's nothing on him 'til '46
03:48 This is a wild goose chase
00:24 Twain picked up Sam in a gay bar
00:26 Very interesting theory
00:24 What a godforsaken spot to get lost
00:13 What do you make of all this
00:31 And nobody knows what tomorrow will be
00:28 Be careful on this road
00:16 Conversation like television set on honeymoon
00:23 Her name's Irene
00:29 His mother was a Roman Catholic
00:22 I can't help it
00:22 You mean Twain has only got eight fingers
00:18 I don't hear nothin'
00:18 I have to go to the can again
00:20 I think butler is dead
00:16 If condition does not change
00:20 Inspector Perrier
01:17 I've already heard the weather report
00:12 The last time that I trusted a dame was in Paris in 1940
00:12 From the inside
00:15 Who do you think is the murderer
00:26 My name is Bensonmum
00:13 Miss Skeffington
00:41 You've tricked and fooled your readers for years
00:10 Or WASN'T there
00:10 Don't let him park the car
00:08 Did you see that
00:13 How do I look so young
00:13 Where you find key
00:15 As the only survivor
00:26 Twain picked up Sam in a gay bar
00:21 What meaning of this
00:06 That drives me crazy
00:20 Whatever you do
00:06 Why do I do all the dirty work
00:23 Another diversion
00:13 Good God gas
00:12 Just as I thought
00:20 Here's the bridge
00:17 Everything here has been rented for tonight
00:05 I never did nothin' to a man that I wouldn't do to...
00:11 He was arrested in 1932 in Chicago for selling pornographic...
00:26 I thought they always looked like that
00:05 Room filled with empty people
00:09 Voice come from cow on wall
00:15 Wouldn't you know
00:18 He was very good to me
00:06 With a thing like that in his back
00:31 Ten people for dinner
00:18 You say you know who's going to get it
00:06 I'm scared Sam Hold me
00:10 Someone just put deadly snake in room
00:20 Well that depends I'll be around if you need me
00:15 I don't understand
00:06 But question very hard
00:29 What do you mean
00:12 Since we cannot call for a doctor
00:25 Now let's see what we have here
00:08 I will tell everyone that you wear a toupee
00:08 You work hard for fifty bucks a day in this racket
00:09 My wine is not poisoned
00:06 I'm not a Frenchie
00:09 I don't think I'm gonna make it
00:07 Where's my Dickie
00:13 I smell something
00:16 I'm not one to use hyperbole
00:22 Someone's tryin' to KILL us
00:25 This dust is baking flour
00:15 Isn't that right
00:20 We're all experienced criminologists
00:15 First they steal the body and leave the clothes
00:07 That's probably the cook
00:05 Sounded as though somebody snipped the wire
00:07 Big house like man married to fat woman
00:18 You feed cat dog food
00:12 Man who argue with cow on wall is like train without wheels
00:12 I want you to know
00:06 We're in Wang's wing
00:13 Maybe I'm just a patsy being set up take the fall
00:14 You all mistake what you assume
00:11 How he know how much he get paid
00:36 You've saved our lives
