I was just accepting your next case.
Yeah. I want you to get over to Merston Manor, take statements from everyone concerned, find out what they're up to.
Get statements. That's nice. Jeff, are you feeling all right?
Fine. And don't let anyone give you any nonsense, 'cause they're all trespassing.
The ghosts. Perfect for you.
Jeff. Now you know I don't like that sort of thing. Haunted houses give . . . I've got a nervous disposition!
You've also got a death certificate, so get over there and find out who's doing all the screaming.
But a haunted house, Jeff! On my own!
If it is haunted you won't be on your own, will you, and you might even pick up a few tips! Now go!
I'm telling you, Jeff, I was terrified.
Well, what of? If it's haunted, you should be delighted. Somewhere to go on your night off.
Look, Marty, ghosts are nothing to be scared of.
Oh yeah? Do I go running around screaming every time you jump out of the woodwork? No. I talk to you like a normal, rational individual. So all you have to do is to go down there and have a nice quiet chat with whoever is doing the haunting!
Supposing it isn't a nice quiet ghost? For all I know, it can be some silly fool waving a sword about, straight out of Macbeth. And my head is not ending up on a plate for anybody.
Fired? What do you mean, fired? You ran away as well. And anyway, you can't fire a partner, especially a dead one.
I told you that place was haunted. You wouldn't believe me, would you?
What do you think I put you on the case for? I asked you to take one look. One lousy, rotten look.
Right. You're forgetting one thing. If I can see him, he can see me. And whatever it was he was dragging around, it wasn't a good conduct medal.
