- Quotes
Edward Delaney: What else can you tell me about the wound?
Dr. Sanford Ferguson: Well, penetration was straight down into the skull. Now, what does that tell *you*?
Edward Delaney: Well, it could tell me that the killer is at least 4 or 5 inches taller than the victim, hmm?
Dr. Sanford Ferguson: Yeah, unless he was standing on a box. Did you see a box out there?
Edward Delaney: No, doctor.
Dr. Sanford Ferguson: Six feet, and quick.
Edward Delaney: And powerful. And also well-dressed. And white - otherwise Gilbert would never let him get that close to him.
Dr. Sanford Ferguson: You know, Delaney, the intricacies of your mind never cease to amaze me.
