Inspector Oxford
Mr. Rusk. You're not wearing your tie.
Bob Rusk

I... [Defeated, Rusk drops the trunk to the floor]

Richard Blaney
[announcing himself to his wife's receptionist]
You can inform Mrs. Blaney that one of her less successful exercises in matrimony has come to see her.
Monica Barling
And who shall I say is calling?
Richard Blaney
Mr. Blaney.
Solicitor in Pub
Let's hope he slips up soon.
Doctor in Pub
In one way I rather hope he doesn't. We haven't had a good juicy series of sex murders since Christie. And they're so good for the tourist trade. Foreigners somehow expect the squares of London to be fog-wreathed, full of hansom cabs and littered with ripped whores, don't you think?
Solicitor in Pub
We were just talking about the tie murderer, Maisie. You'd better watch out.
Maisie, Barmaid
[salaciously]
He rapes them first, doesn't he?
Solicitor in Pub
Yes, I believe he does.
Doctor in Pub
Well I suppose it's nice to know that every cloud has a silver lining.
Richard Blaney
Do I look like a sex murderer to you? Can you imagine me creeping around London, strangling all those women with ties? That's ridiculous... For a start, I only own two.
Bob Rusk
Don't forget, Bob's your uncle.
Bob Rusk
I don't know if you know it, Babs, but you're my type of woman.
Chief Inspector Oxford
I expect she'll turn up sooner or later. These days, ladies abandon their honor far more readily than their clothes.
Bob Rusk
If you can fix up a lot of idiots, why not me?
Hotel porter
Just thinking about the lusts of men makes me want to heave. He spoke French, Spanish and German while in service.
Chief Inspector Oxford
Mr. Rusk. You're not wearing your tie.
Chief Inspector Oxford
No, discretion is not traditionally the strong suit of the psychopath, dear. Believe me, that's what we're dealing with. You ought to read his wife's divorce petition.
