- [Miss Halstead takes Campbell and Harvey to the girls' cloakroom where there are rows of pegs, each with a canvas bag hanging from it]
- Sergeant Harvey: Shoebags!
- Detective Inspector Campbell: You take the left row and I'll take the right row.
- Sergeant Harvey: [sings] "And I'll be in Scotland before..."
- [Campbell, a Scot, gives Harvey a withering look for this facetious remark]
- Detective Inspector Campbell: [D I Campbell comes across a stuffed white rabbit sticking out of one of the bags and murmurs] Harvey
- [obviously thinking of James Stewart's white rabbit in the film Harvey which came out a couple of years before]
- Sergeant Harvey: Sir?
- [replies Sgt Harvey, thinking he is being addressed; at which D I Campbell coughs and hurriedly turns to continue his search]
- Miss Shepherd: But why should she want to protect me?
- Detective Inspector Campbell: Miss Shepherd - I am only a mere man. I don't pretend to understand the tortuous workings of a young woman's mind.
- Miss Shepherd: I'm sure it was someone from the outside inspector - the staff are all very nice people.
- Detective Inspector Campbell: Women often are - until they're found out.
- Detective Inspector Campbell: I've a wee present for you. See that you don't hang it on the wrong peg this time.
- Miss Shepherd: Thank you, Inspector, that's very sweet of you.
- Detective Inspector Campbell: You know, you've got a clever head. More like a man than a woman.
