Mr. Moto's Gamble

Lee Chan:
Oh, Mr. Moto?

Kentaro Moto:
Yes, Lee?

Lee Chan:
I though you would like to know I got a letter from Pop yesterday.

Kentaro Moto:
Oh, you did?

Lee Chan:
Mm-hmm. He sent his best to you.

Kentaro Moto:
Thank you. And, uh, how is your honorable father enjoying his homelife in beautiful Honolulu?

Lee Chan:
He seems fine, but he kind of worries about me. Y'see, I'm really supposed to be studying art here at the university... but gosh, I want to be a detective!

Kentaro Moto:
[chuckles] I understand. My parents wanted me to be an acrobat.

Lieutenant Riggs:
A sock in the eye ain't homicide. Maybe his ticker went bad on him. Who knows?

Kentaro Moto:
No one... except the coroner.

Kentaro Moto:
There is no situation that science and skill cannot master.

Penny Kendall:
Oh, Scotty, if you'll turn me loose on this, I'll have this town so deep in tears that they'll be using canoes for taxicabs.

Kentaro Moto:
To recognize one's faults requires intelligence; to admit them requires courage.

Lee Chan:
Gosh, that's a pretty girl sitting with your friend!

Lieutenant Riggs:
That's his daughter Linda. She's got her nose so high in the air, she'd drown in a rainstorm.

Kentaro Moto:
Much information can be obtained from tongues loosened in anger.

Lieutenant Riggs:
[frustrated] Medium height, medium build, medium complexion - I'd have to be a medium to find Howard from the description like that Detroit tailor gives me!

Lee Chan:
[arriving late and in a hurry] We want two good seats down front!

Ticket Seller:
Sorry, we're sold out.

Horce 'Knock-Out' Wellington:
He's sold out? [to the ticket taker] Do you know who we are?

Ticket Seller:
[laconically, as he closes down the ticket window] Sure, a couple of guys that ain't gonna see the fight.

Nick Crowder:
Clipper, you'd suspect your own grandmother!

Clipper McCoy:
Yeah, but you're not my grandmother.

Nick Crowder:
Don't bet on it!

Kentaro Moto:
[examining the dead body] This is not suicide Mr. Riggs. [dryly] It's most unusual to shoot oneself in the back and without a gun.

Nick Crowder:
Who pulled the strings to get this fight on tonight?

Kentaro Moto:
I plead guilty, Mr. Crowder. You see, some people save strings; I pull them.
