  Detective Hiram Parsh : Identification is my object, Mr. Slidell, not amusement.

• Mr. Slidell, the Mortician : Well, you never got that close to 'em when they was alive, did you, Mr. Detective. How long did you hound those poor creatures, Mr. Parsh? Somethin' like five years, wasn't it? It sure is too bad you couldn't have been in on the kill. You'da got a real pleasure out of seein' 'em out there in the dust, kickin' and a-screamin'.
