"Ellery Queen" The Adventure of the Blunt Instrument (TV Episode 1975) - Jim Hutton as Ellery Queen

Ellery Queen : Dad, I've had your home remedies before, and I'd really rather have the cold.

Inspector Richard Queen : It's just tea! Look!

[he takes a sip]

Inspector Richard Queen : Needs more gin.
Ellery Queen : Well, you've seen all the clues-have you got it? I think I do. Now, the important things to remember-besides what happened to the door-are the brandy snifter on the carpet and the bruise on Manning's knee. Have you got it now? I hope so.
Fingerprint Man : [after Ellery sneezes] You oughta try a poultice for that cold, Ellery!

Ellery Queen : A what?

Fingerprint Man : A plaster for your chest. It's made with menthol, mustard, wintergreen, and chicken fat.

Ellery Queen : Then what?

Fingerprint Man : Stay home.

Ellery Queen : Why?

Fingerprint Man : Who's gonna want you around smelling like that?
Mary Parks : How's your cold?

Ellery Queen : Well, I think they're trying to kill me with the cures.
Nick McVey : You ever read any of my stuff?

Ellery Queen : Yeah, a little.

Nick McVey : Then you know how the hero gets information from the guy that won't talk, don't you?

Ellery Queen : Yeah, he... punches it out of him. Nick, did you just threaten me?
