- Jessica Fletcher: [answering phone] Hello.
- Lt. Henry Girard: [on phone] Now that we've got the Dawson case sorted out, it's time we started on our book.
- Jessica Fletcher: Yes, I think we have to talk about that, Lieutenant. I've given it a great deal of thought during the past couple of days, and I'm afraid that I couldn't possibly collaborate with you on your book.
- Lt. Henry Girard: What do you mean? Why?
- Jessica Fletcher: This material, well, uh, it's you, Lieutenant, and I don't know what I could bring to it.
- Lt. Henry Girard: But I- I've had this stuff for years. I just can't seem to get a handle on it by myself.
- Jessica Fletcher: I do know a writer that might be interested, and I think she might be looking for a project.
- Lt. Henry Girard: Who?
- Jessica Fletcher: Kristy Parrish.
