Jessica Fletcher : Well, I can certainly understand that. When I was your age, I wanted desperately to be completely independent.
Sally Wilson : I wanna be a really good book editor.
Jessica Fletcher : And I wanted to be a good teacher.
Sally Wilson : Yeah, but your father didn't buy the school. Mine's negotiating to buy the publishing house.
Jessica Fletcher : Which would make him my publisher.
Sally Wilson : And my boss. Goodbye credibility. Once again, I'd be a rich kid dabbling in one of Daddy's companies.

Sgt. Tom Jarrow : Well, actually, it's, uh, it's you I wanted to see.
Jessica Fletcher : Me?

Sally Wilson : Well, you realize, you'll have to live in the city for a while.
Sgt. Tom Jarrow : Yeah. Well, then, I guess I'll just have to make the best of it. Won't I...

Sgt. Tom Jarrow : Won't I?
