[in trailer only]

[Patrolman walks up to Michael Jordon, wearing a dress, and Kate Hellman, Kate holding Michael's arm and standing behind him]

Patrolman: [to Michael] Is that your car, lady?

[awkward pause]

Kate Hellman: Oh, my aunt is, um, a... deaf mute.

[Michael starts nodding]

Kate Hellman: Isn't that right, auntie?

Patrolman: I thought you said you couldn't hear.

[another awkward pause]

Kate Hellman: She- uh, she reads lips.

Patrolman: Somebody look under his jacket. See if he's got a blue suit with a red S on his chest. I think we just killed Clark Kent.

Patrolman: Who's your friend?

Doris Duke: Oh, that's the Sultan of Brunei.

Patrolman: Welcome to New Jersey.

Bernard Lafferty: Thanks.

[the contents of Father Brown's pockets are being inventoried by the police]

Patrolman: One Bible.

Father Brown: [Correcting the patrolman] One breviary.

Station sergeant: One... book.

Patrolman: One bar of milk chocolate.

Station sergeant: One bar... of chocolate. Your glasses, please.

Father Brown: Oh. Is that really necessary? I'm as blind as a bat without them. Though I often wonder whether all bats are really blind, any more than all lords drunk or all judges sober.
