[about a man who runs a collection of escorts] Ichabod thought he had added another filly to his stable of trotters. In Ichabod's parlance, his new acquisition was called a fox. He had no way of knowing she was actually more closely related to the bat.
“The Vampire” · Season 1, Episode 4
In this episode: Carl Kolchak (4), Tony Vincenzo (1)
I'm tired of it, Kolchak. I am fed up. I've got a brother-in-law who's got a 14-year-old he's always bailing out of juvenile hall, but I've got you, and you are worse!
PLPolice Lt. Jack Matteo
...And on your way home you can drop off your vampire story in Transylvania!
This vampire didn't come from Transylvania, it came from Las Vegas.
Listen, tell me, uh... Tell me, Mr... Mr. Sample, what time does the coroner think that Mr. Mitchell died?
DSDeputy Sample
Oh, I'd say about 5:00, 5:30 a.m. I think he lost conciseness way before then.
Beautiful country you got up here. Just gorgeous. Gorgeous country. Fresh, clean air, bright sunshine.
DSDeputy Sample
Yes, it's very beautiful.
It is indeed. Tell me, what time does the sun usually come up around here?
DSDeputy Sample
In the morning, early.
Oh, I know that! What time, about 5:00, 5:30?
DSDeputy Sample
Well, it depends on the season. Why would you want to know that?
Because I think that's about the time Mr. Mitchell was murdered.
DSDeputy Sample
You been chewing mescal? Who said he was murdered? I say he died of exposure. You know, Mitchell done stole that car in Vegas. Then he decided to repaint it, and that's why he taped the windows.
[looks at Mitchell's car] Where did he repaint it, huh? On the inside? I mean, that's where the windows are taped. [knocks against the window] On the inside.
[he and Sample laugh]
DSDeputy Sample
You're one of them fellows who likes to hear himself talk, ain't you?
Tell me, did Mr. Mitchell have a couple of puncture marks on his throat, like fang marks?
DSDeputy Sample
The last nosy fellow who come through Barstow, somebody done come out and punctured all his tires.
Is that a fact?
DSDeputy Sample
Yes, he did.
Thank you very much for your advice, Mr. Sample. It's been a pleasure meeting you and your dog.
They booked me for murder just like I thought they would, but then after 12 hours they let me go. They never said why, but while I was sitting in Lt. Matteo's office waiting for execution, I happened to see a coroner's report on Catherine Rawlins. I quote the coroner: "The tissue structure of the individual appeared to be that of a female species human who had been dead at least three years. This is a medical conundrum for which I have no explanation." Three years!
