Quotes 

• Edmund Parry : Leave it on, Holmes. Be brief and to the point.

  Sheriff Jess Holmes : Folks around say I couldn't talk less without being dead.

  Edmund Parry : Well that's a consummation devoutly to be wished. I'll vote for it at the next election.

• Sheriff Jess Holmes : You're not unhappy about the dead girl?

  Edmund Parry : [shows contempt]  Unhappy? Romance on the Gold Standard. Common creature whose every word, every breath, every gesture, was the show of an empty, shallow promise. Miss Morgan was an example of completely justifiable homicide.

  Sheriff Jess Holmes : Is that an opinion or a confession, Ed?

  Edmund Parry : Confession? All these years, I would have given anything to use a knife to get back the youth of just one finger.
