Quote from Woody

Woody: I saw it! Blue sparks in Carla's mouth!
Sam: Hey, guys. Listen, fellas. Am I interrupting anything?
Frasier: Just science making another leap forward.

Quote from Norm

Sam: Fellas, listen. All right, come here. Listen. Come here. Listen. I need your help here now. I want to get my hands on Rebecca's jewels but, first, I've got to find her earrings.
Norm: All right, Sammy, we're here for you.
Sam: All right. Now, I guess we could buy her another pair, but that would set us back about 32 grand.
Norm: Not here for you, Sam. Left an hour ago.

Quote from Cliff

Sam: All right, all right. Now, there's got to be... See, I figure that she probably just put them down someplace for safekeeping, and then forgot where she put them. I got to just find a way to, you know, jog her memory.
Carla: I I know what we should do.
Sam: What?
Carla: I saw this in a movie once. We gather the suspects all together in one room.
Sam: Right. And then you recreate the crime so that you can work backwards and find out what happened.
Carla: Yeah.
Sam: Let's go.
Cliff: Hey, Sammy, uh since I'm the only one here in uniform, I suggest I play Admiral Crowe.
Woody: Well, if you're Admiral Crowe, who's going to be Mr. Clavin?
Cliff: Aw, any of you yutzes can handle that.

Quote from Rebecca

Rebecca: What are you all doing in here?
Sam: Well, Cliff here has agreed to portray Admiral Crowe so we can recreate the alleged crime so we can figure out what happened.
Rebecca: And what about you two guys?
Woody: We're witnesses.
Norm: Yeah, we're pretty much just gonna hang around and and watch.
Rebecca: That's a stretch.

Quote from Cliff

Sam: Okay, uh Admiral Crowe came in and asked to use the phone. What did he say?
Rebecca: "May I use the phone?"
Cliff: Excuse me, Rebecca. That's my line.
Sam: Then what?
Rebecca: And I said, "Sure," and he said, "Thank you."
Cliff: Huh. Look who thinks she's Admiral Crowe.

Quote from Sam

Sam: All right. Now, he came in here, he was alone. Was he carrying anything?
Rebecca: Uh, I think he was carrying a glass of water.
Sam: I see. And did he put this glass of water down?
Rebecca: I think so.
Sam: Next to, perhaps, this glass? [picks up the glass with a handkerchief, spills water] Ooh!
Rebecca: I see what you're getting at, Sam. You think that he picked up the other glass with the earrings in it and took it out.
Sam: Yeah, right. Absolutely. Guys, we're out of here.

Quote from Cliff

Cliff: Hey, I didn't get to portray Admiral Crowe.
Norm: Uh... All right. Uh, Rebecca, as a favor for Cliff, what was the last words the Admiral said? Anything?
Rebecca: Yes. Before he left, he said, "l want to get out of this bar as fast as I can before I run into that stupid mailman."
Cliff: He stole them, all right.
