Quotes
-
Det. Whit Hineline : Hey, next person to complain spends the storm in a tent, so stop whining, and don't blame a hurricane on Shelby here.
-
Chase Cavanaugh : How could it be me? I was attacked, remember?
Det. Whit Hineline : Yeah, well it must take a lot of guts to knock yourself out.
-
Gina Michaels : [the storm knocks a tree branch through a window] What do we do now?
Chase Cavanaugh : We're almost in the eye of the hurricane. It'll be calm then, but we only have a few minutes before it builds back up again.
Shelby Woo : Well we need to get that window covered. Cindy, get the toolbox from the kitchen, Noah, you help me get another piece of plywood. You two get the branch out of there... sorry, Detective.
Det. Whit Hineline : No, no, it's alright, you see what you just did there? You took charge.
-
Det. Whit Hineline : Why do I always get a dead flashlight?
-
Shelby Woo : I was putting new batteries in all the flashlights when Miss Guthrie came over to me. She asked me to put her watch into the safe.
Det. Whit Hineline : Was anybody nearby?
Melanie Turner : Me. I wanted to look at the watch and Miss Guthrie let me try it on.
Det. Whit Hineline : Show me where you were standing.
Melanie Turner : [points] Right there.
Gina Michaels : Uh uh. No my dear, you were standing right over here.
Det. Whit Hineline : Are you sure?
Gina Michaels : Sure.
Melanie Turner : Well what difference does that make?
Gina Michaels : Oh one big difference, from HERE, you can 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.
-
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 : This equipment's going wild.
Det. Whit Hineline : This equipment doesn't miss a thing.
Shelby Woo : [they look to each other] Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
-
Det. Whit Hineline : Shelby? There was some trouble at the Sand Dollar Surf Shop, I need some blank missing property forms.
Shelby Woo : Oh. What's missing?
Det. Whit Hineline : The whole shop. Hurricane blew it away, somebody saw a surfboard over on Pomert.
