Quotes 

• Jessica Fletcher : So if I finish a chapter of my new book in Cabot Cove, I can send it through the phone lines to my publisher's computer in New York?

• [Jessica has been introduced to Derek St. James and told that he will help her decide on what new computer he will install for her] 

  Derek St. James : Well, let's see what the basic requirements will be for your new computer system. Um, how much RAM, how much ROM, VGA, SVGA, 386, 486, 33, 25 Mhz. If you do a lot of research, you may want to get a CD-ROM or a WORM optical system. Do you have any offhand preferences?

  Jessica Fletcher : [looking confused by the technical jargon]  Well, I-I was thinking of something in a nice beige.

  Derek St. James : In other words, I ought to be doing this in English?

  Jessica Fletcher : [smiling]  That would be wonderful.

• [first lines] 

  [while typing, something flies off the typewriter and she picks it up] 

  Jessica Fletcher : [to herself]  Uh-oh! An 'L' key. You know, Jessica, this situation wouldn't be nearly so bad if you hadn't named your characters Lola and Larry Lamont.

• Jessica Fletcher : [to her newly installed computer]  All right, we come to an understanding, or one of us doesn't leave here alive.
