- 'The Canary' - Margaret O'Dell: You heard me!
- Sgt. Ernest Heath: You know, I'm beginning to question this robbery theory, Mr Vance. You and I were right!
- Charles Spottswoode: Shall we go over here?
- Philo Vance: Why, yes. I'm afraid marriage is quite out of the question Miss O'Dell.

- Philo Vance: I'm positive.
