Rose Quote #1070

Quote from Rose in The Case of the Libertine Belle

Dorothy: Wait a minute. There's one thing I don't understand. When I checked to make sure that Kendall was really dead, why didn't his breath show up on your mirror?
Rose: Simple. The mirror had been sprayed with defogger.
Dorothy: But who could have done that?
Rose: I did. The people at the club asked me to.
Blanche: Well, Rose, why would you do such a cruel thing to me?
Rose: Well, Blanche, there could be two explanations. Either I was getting back at you for taking my earrings or... Oh, who are we kidding? That's why I did it.

Quote from Dorothy

Marlowe: Nice try, ma' am, but Philip and Gloria are innocent of those crimes.
Dorothy: Perhaps, but they are both murderers.
Sophia: Sit down, Dorothy. Don't make a fool of yourself.
Marlowe: Would you care to explain?
Dorothy: In the first place, it is unlikely that Gloria murdered her father. Statistics show that patricide is overwhelmingly a male crime. Although daughters frequently murder their mothers!
