Jessica Fletcher quotes from Murder, She Wrote

Jessica Fletcher

The truth is that you can be married to someone and think you know them intimately. And then, well, it's hard to know yourself, let alone another person.

Jessica Fletcher

Oh, it feels so good to sit down. You know, I was on my feet half the day down at the power company. Running from one office to the other, trying to get my last bill sorted out. Did you ever try to argue with a computer? It is impossible. It's like trying to talk sense to Amos Tupper once he's made up his mind about something.

It's an honour to meet a world famous writer.

Jessica Fletcher

Oh, but an infamous writer, I'm afraid.

Are you quite ready, Mrs. Fletcher?

Actually, Lieutenant Cavette, it's, it's only a theory. But I'm ready if you are.

I wouldn't deprive you of the pleasure of making a fool of yourself for only me.

Jessica Fletcher

My goodness, you look wonderful!

I look dreadful but thanks for the insincerity.

Jessica Fletcher

Do you ever get the feeling that you've overlooked something obvious? That you've done something wrong?

Yeah. Every time I vote for Amos.

Doesn't it bother you that Charlotte probably died in this room?

Jessica Fletcher

No, the only thing that bothers me is unanswered questions.

Jessica Fletcher

Tenacity is an admirable virtue.

Until it turns into thick-headed stubbornness.
