Tim Rourke:
Hey, Mike. What tipped you to the shoe bit?

Michael Shayne:
Lucy. When she started waving her shoe like a shillelagh, the light bulb went on.

Joe Demarest:
I still don't dig it.

Michael Shayne:
When Connie showed up after the murder, she was wearing a blue dress with blue shoes.

Tim Rourke:
Great. Now he's a couturier.

Michael Shayne:

Lucy Hamilton:
What Mike means is she was wearing a blue dress with shoes to match.

Michael Shayne:

Lucy Hamilton:
Nobody who's anybody would be found dead in shoes that didn't match an outfit.

Joe Demarest:
Say, Tim. I got a plaid jacket at home that I wear with suede shoes.

Tim Rourke:
Burn it, kid.
