Inspector Richard Queen : [leaving to investigate the death of a professional boxer, while Ellery, working on his latest book, is only half paying attention to him] You sure you won't come along, son?
Ellery Queen : Huh? Oh, no, thanks, Dad.
Inspector Richard Queen : Might be interesting from a research point of view. Prizefighter gets killed while training for championship bout?
Ellery Queen : Some other time.
Inspector Richard Queen : Well, if it ever happens again, I'll be sure to let you know.
Ellery Queen : Thanks, Dad.
Inspector Richard Queen : You know, when you're working on a book, you're great company. Of course, if I want conversation, I can always talk to the goldfish.
Ellery Queen : Oh, that's nice.
Inspector Richard Queen : On second thought, the goldfish might make more sense. Well, see you later. Don't overdo it.
Ellery Queen : [comes up for air] Dad, are you going somewhere?
Inspector Richard Queen : Whatever gave you that idea?

Ellery Queen : Now, Flannigan's picture and the way my dad pours milk in the coffee gave me the answer. Was it Joe Adams? Was it Sam Hatter? Was it Doc Sanford or Melinda Sanford? Or Eddie? Or was it someone else? Now, bear in mind that the timing has a lot to do with it. Yeah. I'll tell you more about it at the gym.

Ellery Queen : Dad, your coffee's worse than mine.
Inspector Richard Queen : Thia is your coffee, I heated it up from what was left over from breakfast.
Ellery Queen : Well, I heated it up from last night's leftovers. And I'm not really sure it was fresh then.

Ellery Queen : I get the idea you don't care much for the fight game.
