Hotel porter:
Just thinking about the lusts of men makes me want to heave.
Bob Rusk:
I don't know if you know it, Babs, but you're my type of woman.
Bob Rusk:
Don't forget, Bob's your uncle.

Inspector Oxford:
Mr. Rusk - you're not wearing your tie.
Bob Rusk:

Bob Rusk:
I...

Sir George:
I say, that's not my club tie, is it?
Richard Blaney:
[
announcing himself to his wife's receptionist] You can inform Mrs. Blaney that one of her less successful exercises in matrimony has come to see her.
Monica Barling:
And who shall I say is calling?
Richard Blaney:
Mr. Blaney.

Chief Inspector Oxford:
I expect she'll turn up sooner or later. These days, ladies abandon their honor far more readily than their clothes.
[
to his wife]
Chief Inspector Oxford:
No, discretion is not traditionally the strong suit of the psychopath, dear. Believe me, that's what we're dealing with. You ought to read his wife's divorce petition.
Richard Blaney:
Do I look like a sex murderer to you? Can you imagine me creeping around London, strangling all those women with ties? That's ridiculous... For a start, I only own two.
Bob Rusk:
If you can fix up a lot of idiots, why not me?
Solicitor in Pub:

Maisie, Barmaid:
[
salaciously] He *rapes* them first, doesn't he?
Solicitor in Pub:
Yes, I believe he does.
Doctor in Pub:
Well I suppose it's nice to know that every cloud has a silver lining.

discussing the tie murders]
Solicitor in Pub:
Let's hope he slips up soon.
Doctor in Pub:
In one way I rather hope he doesn't. We haven't had a good juicy series of sex murders since Christie. And they're so good for the tourist trade. Foreigners somehow expect the squares of London to be fog-wreathed, full of hansom cabs and *littered* with ripped whores, don't you think?
Brenda Margaret Blaney:
My God, the tie!
[

Brenda Margaret Blaney:
[
as Bob wraps the tie around her throat] Dear Jesus, help me. Help me!
Richard Blaney:
