I'd like to ask you about your next-door neighbors, the McDowells.
They're not who you think they are.
You mean we invited the wrong people to dinner?

I'd like to ask you about your next-door neighbors, the McDowells.
They're not who you think they are.
You mean we invited the wrong people to dinner?
Oh, I don't know. Two policemen living in our house?
So what's that to be afraid of, Dorothy? Once you strip away the gruff exterior, the badge, the gun, the uniform-
You've got a naked policeman.
Exactly.
I'll do it, I'll be the plant.
You are a plant.
Well, if anybody's going to do it, it should be me.
Why you?
Because I am the best under pressure.
And she bears a striking resemblance to Barnaby Jones.
I would do it [go undercover], but I'm afraid I might be too conspicuous. It's a dinner party and I plan to show cleavage!
[listening to a planted bug] They keep talking about that noodlehead in the red dress. Could that be code language?
Only to the noodlehead in the red dress.
We'll use the bathroom as a lookout and the kitchen as a base.

[about Martha, a new neighbor] I followed her through the store and wrote down everything she bought.
Rose, they steal jewels, not Gino's Pizza Rolls!
[about Sophia] She's really a very sweet woman. She just doesn't like to show it.
Is that a family trait?
