General's Daughter

Sunhill:
I thought you hated places like this.

Brenner:
I do. However the murderer might be in here; sitting in here, all smug and shiny... until we walked in. And now they're a little less smug and a little less shiny... and I think that's pretty cool, don't you?

Brenner:
My father was a drunk, a gambler and a womanizer. I worshipped him.

Brenner:
So what happened to the guy with the gun?

Sunhill:
I married him.

Brenner:
Well, I'm happy for you. I wish a long life of happiness for both of you.

Sunhill:
I filed for divorce.

Brenner:
Good.

Kent:
What do you have?

Brenner:
Just a preliminary list of suspects.

Kent:
Who?

Brenner:
Everyone.

Kent:
Looks like you have to narrow it down.

Brenner:
Where were you when she was killed?

Kent:
I was in the tower when I got the call. No witnesses, though. You?

Brenner:
I was too busy killing someone else. I didn't have time to kill two people.

Moore:
We are, I assume, still trying to outsmart each other?

Paul Brenner:
Perhaps she preferred her men to wear condoms. Perhaps you're aware that condoms are in fashion again, because of disease? These days, you have to boil somebody before you can sleep with them. Care for a bath?

Sunhill:
Why was she murdered?

Brenner:
Well, possible motives for murder are profit, revenge, jealousy, to conceal a crime, to avoid humiliation & disgrace, or plain old homicidal mania. Right there in the manual.

Warrant Officer Paul Brenner:
Unclench your ass cheeks, Delbert, the scary part's over.

Warrant Officer Paul Brenner, C.I.D.:
This was one squared-away soldier. Equally prepared for a military ball or the next war in the jungle.

Colonel Robert Moore:
Do you think I'm involved in this?

Warrant Officer Paul Brenner, C.I.D.:
One way or another, yes.

Colonel Robert Moore:
Then wouldn't it behoove me to retain the services of an attorney? I know a good one.

Warrant Officer Paul Brenner, C.I.D.:
Two problems there. First the obvious: there are no good ones. Second, you're not a civilian, Colonel, you're in the army. You have no rights to an attorney. You have no right to remain silent. And if you don't cooperate I may have to put you in jail and that would make me feel really bad.

Colonel Robert Moore:
When did the... event... transpire?

Warrant Officer Paul Brenner, C.I.D.:
Zero-Four hundred, we think.

Colonel Robert Moore:
I was snug in bed.

Warrant Officer Paul Brenner, C.I.D.:
Witnesses? Wife? Girlfriend? Roommate? Hooker?

Colonel Robert Moore:
I am divorced. I am between girlfriends, I live alone and I do NOT use hookers. I actually have no alibi whatsoever. Does that make me a criminal?

Warrant Officer Paul Brenner, C.I.D.:
No. It makes you lonely and unpopular.

Brenner:
Did you play together?

Colonel Robert Moore:
What a truly excellent question.

Brenner:
Chief Yardley! Shouldn't you be out night-sticking the colored folk?
