- Marina Rudd: Lola, dear, you know, there are really only two things I dislike about you.
- Lola Brewster: Really? What are they?
- Marina Rudd: Your face.
- Inspector Delbert Craddock: [speaking of Marina Rudd and Lola Brewster] I heard the two of them are close. Is that true?
- Ella Zielinsky: Close? If you put the two of them together in a tank with a shark, the shark would have an identity crisis.
- Lola Brewster: You seem lovely, as always. Of course, there are fewer lights on than usual. In fact, any fewer, and I'd need a seeing-eye dog.
- Marina Rudd: Oh, I shouldn't bother to buy one, dear. In that wig, you could play Lassie.
- Lola Brewster: Same adorable sense of humor. And I'm so glad to see that you've not only kept your GORGEOUS figure, but you've added SO MUCH to it!
- Marina Rudd: What are you doing here so early, dear? I thought the plastic surgery seminar was in Switzerland.
- Lola Brewster: Actually, darling, I couldn't wait to begin our little movie. You know the saying: once an actress, always an actress.
- Marina Rudd: Oh, I do know the saying. But what does it have to do with you?
- Lola Brewster: Cute angel. So do tell. How does it feel to be back, after being away SO LONG?
- Vicar: Oh, Mr. Rudd. I understand that you are a fillum producer.
- Jason Rudd: Oh, no, sir. A director.
- Vicar: Is there any difference?
- Jason Rudd: Yes, sir. The, uh, producer supplies all the money; the director spends it. Then the producer yells that the director is spending too much money; the director doesn't pay any attention, and goes right on spending. The director gets all the credit; the producer gets an ulcer. You see, it's all very simple; excuse me.
- Marina Rudd: [to Lola Brewster] What are you supposed to be, a birthday cake? Too bad everybody's HAD a piece.
- [Jason is taking Miss Marple to see Marina]
- Jason Rudd: Miss Marple?
- Miss Jane Marple: Yes, Mr. Rudd?
- Jason Rudd: She's dead.
- Miss Jane Marple: I rather suspected as much. And you?
- Jason Rudd: I killed her. I put poison in her hot chocolate last night. It was inevitable she would have been discovered. I... couldn't let her face the humiliation. She suffered enough.
- Miss Jane Marple: You must have loved her very much.
- [forgetting he's in England and picking up the phone]
- Marty N. Fenn: Get me the coast... What do you mean, what coast?
- Inspector Delbert Craddock: [to Jason Rudd] I'm sure you'll make a fine film without the aid of Scotland Yard. I'm here about a minor matter of murder.
