Inspector Milo Perrier : Touch nothing!
Jessica Marbles : Will you stop saying "touch nothing?" We're all experienced criminologists. I find it insulting, debasing, and redundant to keep telling us to "touch nothing!"
Inspector Milo Perrier : Oh, be quiet, woman!
Jessica Marbles : Up yours, fella!
Sidney Wang : Most amusing. Bickering detectives like making lamb stew: everything goes to pot!

Jessica Marbles : I was not jilted! I walked out on him. He wanted to fool around before the wedding.
