The Kennel Murder Case

1933

(while posing Doris with her champion dog and his numerous awards, the photographer hikes the lady's skirt to show her shapely legs) Photographer at Dog Show: There! That's great! (Doris rearranges her skirt to cover her legs) Doris Delafield: Sorry, boys, but these are not trophies.

Philo Vance: Say, Markham, I just heard about Arthur Coe. Dist. Atty. Markham: Yes. Too bad he had to bump himself off like that. Philo Vance: Hmm, that's why I called you. You sure that he did bump himself off? Dist. Atty. Markham: Well, his butler tells us he's sitting in a locked room with a revolver in his hand and a bullet in his head. I don't know what else you'd call it.

Philo Vance: Well, if you knew Archer Coe, you would know that suicide would be almost a psychological impossibility for him. Dist. Atty. Markham: Psychological, bosh! Now two and two make four, don't they? Philo Vance: How do you know you have two and two?

Philo Vance: What do you think of the suicide theory now, Sergeant? Detective Sgt. Heath: Well, it's slightly complicated since the man was shot, slugged and stabbed himself - particularly in the back.

Dist. Atty. Markham: Haven't you got any ideas, Vance? Philo Vance: Markham, it's a maze of conflicting clues. Any one of seven people might have done it. Detective Sgt. Heath: We couldn't convict seven people, Mr Vance. Philo Vance: You couldn't convict one with the evidence you've got.
