Quotes 

• Sheriff Amos Tupper : But what am I gonna do about the fact that Irene Rutledge has no legal claim to Tommy?

  Jessica Fletcher : Amos, if I were you, I would develop amnesia.

  Sheriff Amos Tupper : Mmm, save a lot of paperwork, too.

• [first lines] 

  Simon Thane : Checking to see if any of your books have been discounted, Jessica?

  Jessica Fletcher : Simon, you know I really should be annoyed with you. The season's almost over and nary a phone call. I'm beginning to think that those stories about you becoming a recluse are true.

  Simon Thane : They are. I should know. I started them myself.

• Sheriff Amos Tupper : Oh, I know that Simon Thane is somethin' of an institution around here. But just because there's a little snow on the roof, don't mean that there's no fire in the hearth, if you get my drift.

  Jessica Fletcher : Oh, I get your drift, Amos, I just think your, uh, anchor is slipping.

• [last lines] 

  Jessica Fletcher : I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they started seeing quite a lot of each other. How about some more coffee, Amos? And I will tell you something else to put into your amnesia file.
