- City Editor Bostwick: Why anyone is simple minded enough to want to work on a newspaper I've never been able to find out.
- Nancy Drew: Why Mr. Bostwick, journalism is a very noble and glorious career. With all the adventure and romance and everything I'd think you would just love it.
- Nancy Drew: Ted, I'm positive that the woman who stole the tin can from me yesterday is Soxie's girlfriend. Now all you have to do is get him to tell you her name and where she lives.
- Ted Nickerson: Maybe you'd like to know if she's got any bridgework! How will that help?
- Nancy Drew: You remember Captain Tweety always said, "Cherchez la femme!" - find the woman! - the only smart thing he ever did say!
- Ted Nickerson: Yeah, and he stole that!
- Nancy Drew: It's true! You can always get information from women. They just love to talk!
- Nancy Drew: I guess it's just my women's intuition, but she just doesn't look like the type to poison anybody.
