  [the weapon] 

  Lieutenant Jack Noonan : might be under our very noses.

• Forensic doctor : It's bound to be something heavy, that's obvious. But it isn't sharp. At least, I don't think so. There aren't any sharp edges on it.

  Lieutenant Jack Noonan : Why do you say that?

  Forensic doctor : Well, look for yourself. The skin on the skull isn't even broken. It isn't a hammer, for instance, more like a club of some sort.

  Lieutenant Jack Noonan : A club?

  Forensic doctor : Yes, something shaped like a club, smooth and rounded at the end, that's my guess.

• Lieutenant Jack Noonan : Whatever it is will sure as heck be ruined by now. Hey, that looks all right.

  Mike - Policeman assistant : It sure does.

  Lieutenant Jack Noonan : That's mighty peculiar, isn't it. I thought it'd be burnt to a crisp by now.

  Mike - Policeman assistant : Me too.

  Lieutenant Jack Noonan : Maybe it takes longer according to how big it is.

  Mike - Policeman assistant : This is big one all right.

  Lieutenant Jack Noonan : You're darn right it's big.
