Steve Purnick: Det. Whit Hineline

Quotes 

• Shelby Woo : Detective, look what I found. Look at the initials: S.G., maybe it's Shannon Gregors, and there's a 4-leaf clover, a horseshoe, and dice, good luck charms like a gambler would have.

  Det. Whit Hineline : And the bracelet snapped in two.

  Shelby Woo : Maybe it was broken in a struggle.

  Det. Whit Hineline : Maybe, and maybe McBride had something to do with Shannon's disappearance after all.

• Det. Whit Hineline : Tell me again what you were even doing at Gator World.

  Shelby Woo : Research for my report.

  Mike 'Grandpa' Woo : Ah, can we see your research notes?

  Shelby Woo : I don't actually have any notes.

  Det. Whit Hineline : Did you draw any sketches, take any photos?

  Shelby Woo : No, but I have some very strong mental images.

  Mike 'Grandpa' Woo : What about a park brochure, souvenir cup, maybe a button? No, what kind of research did you do again?

  Shelby Woo : I was observing behavior. And I really didn't realize how late it was, honest.

  Det. Whit Hineline : Oh I believe that part, it's the rest of the story I'm having trouble with.
