Adam Busch: Noah Allen

Quotes 

• Cindy Ornette : You saw how she reacted when she tried on the watch, she loved it.

  Noah Allen : Yeah, so did Shelby, I don't see anybody accusing her!

  Shelby Woo : Come on, cut it out. Noah's right, we have to look at all possible suspects. Now who was in the room?

  Cindy Ornette : The magician and his wife were by the door.

  Noah Allen : There was the junior weatherman, he was making his documentary.

  Shelby Woo : And Melanie, they were all in the room.

  Cindy Ornette : But Melanie was the only one close enough to see the combination.

• Shelby Woo : [just as Melanie's about to reveal who she suspects, the power goes out, a thud is heard, Melanie groans, and everybody's scrambling in the dark]  Does anybody have a flashlight?

  Det. Whit Hineline : Yeah here's one. Oh wait, it doesn't work, the batteries are dead.

  Noah Allen : Where's Melanie?

  Shelby Woo : [turns on a flashlight]  She's gone.

• Cindy Ornette : [encountering Noah in the dark]  Geez Noah! Do you have to lurk?

  Noah Allen : I'm not LURKING, I was coming to help.

  Cindy Ornette : Well don't sneak up on us. There's a crazy attacker person around here.

  Shelby Woo : And they've already taken out Melanie.

  Noah Allen : Yeah, just as she was about to reveal who did it.

  Cindy Ornette : Who could it have been?

  Shelby Woo : I don't know, but whoever did it is still in this house.

• Det. Whit Hineline : Did you find her?

  Cindy Ornette : She's not upstairs.

  Gina Michaels : Not here either.

  Chase Cavanaugh : Well maybe she ran out into the storm.

  Shelby Woo : No, I thought of that, but if she opened a door, water would've come in here. And all the floors are dry.

  Det. Whit Hineline : And I checked out back, there's nothing.

  Noah Allen : Well she couldn't have just disappeared.

  Shelby Woo : [looks to the magician box]  Oh yeah?

  [opens it up and Melanie falls out, unconscious] 

• Shelby Woo : It's not enough I have a hurricane, and my grandfather's not here, and Melanie was attacked, and the watch has been stolen, now I have to make sandwiches?

  Noah Allen : Ooh, can I have turkey and cheese?

• Cindy Ornette : That crowd is really getting scary.

  Shelby Woo : And the mystery is getting more complicated too. Who has a reason to steal the watch?

  Cindy Ornette : Chase's funding is about to run out, he could use the money.

  Shelby Woo : So could Gina and Alex, they want to stop traveling and open a magic shop.

  Cindy Ornette : What about Elizabeth Guthrie? She's a little odd.

  Noah Allen : Why would she steal her own watch?

  Shelby Woo : Because she told me that when she can't figure out what to write, she likes to put unsuspecting people in the same situation as her characters.

  Cindy Ornette : You mean she may just be using us all as guinea pigs for some plot?

  Noah Allen : Great, so everybody has a motive.

  Cindy Ornette : Nobody had any access.

  Shelby Woo : Well someone had to have, because someone got in there.

• Melanie Turner : We better set the fridge on high, get everything nice and cold in case the power goes out later.

  Shelby Woo : Ooh, good idea.

  Cindy Ornette : You want me to fill up the bathtubs with water?

  Shelby Woo : What?

  Cindy Ornette : Extra drinking water, we can't have too much.

  Shelby Woo : Exactly right.

  Noah Allen : We're running out of plywood, so I'm thinking maybe the shutters, they'll be enough on the porch windows?

  Shelby Woo : Yeah.
