FBI Agent Nicole Scott: But it's good for you. It's got... honeyglaze. Please die for this crooler, Jess.

FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Take a look.
[Nicole takes a huge bite]
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Mmmmm, Mmmmm, Mmmmm!
Jess Mastriani: And who marries five women?
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: At the same time is the issue. Russlyn Abedney. 52 years old.
Jess Mastriani: But he was running around between four wives, you would think that by the time he met number five she would figure out that there was something wrong.

FBI Agent Nicole Scott: A guy wants out of a woman's room, he'll do anything.
FBI Agent Antonio Cortez: Have you seen this woman?
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Oh, that's right, you think she's hot.
FBI Agent Antonio Cortez: No, well, you know, I just wanted to give you a full description... of what she looked like. Do I personally think she's hot... no.

FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Neither were you, it was just a vision.
Jess Mastriani: No! They're not visions until you know they're visions, when it happened it was a hand from the grave.
[sighs]
Jess Mastriani: It felt really cold.
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Was there anything else?
Jess Mastriani: I don't want to talk about the vision. I want, I want a job in the food service industry. Something involving French fries and paper hats and no hands coming out of the ground!
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Maybe it has something to do with the case, Jess.
Jess Mastriani: And maybe I was at Janey's funeral, who I couldn't stand, but she was shot and killed, so I feel guilty, and so now she's going to haunt me forever! Maybe that, Nicole.

Jess Mastriani: Nice neighborhood for the slave trade.
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Come on. We'll be less conspicuous on foot. Just two girlfriends out for a walk.

Jess Mastriani: You could be our stalker.
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: I've been through that phase with him.
FBI Agent Antonio Cortez: What are you talking about? You stalked *me*.
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: You should do something about that memory of yours.

Assistant Director John Pollock: So...?
Jess Mastriani: It's against the rules. Sir.
Assistant Director John Pollock: Don't screw with me, Agent. Go turn it off.
[Jess is silent. Pollock rolls his eyes]
Assistant Director John Pollock: All right, come here.
[he pulls Jess directly in front of the camera, squares her shoulders and straightens her hair. He lines her up against the lens carefully, so that they can both be seen on film]
Jess Mastriani: This angle work for you? Sort of three quarters. This your good side?
Assistant Director John Pollock: It's fine, sir.
[he looks up at the camera, then back at Jess.]
Jess Mastriani: Okay. I, John Pollock, Assistant Director of the FBI, order you to turn this camera off and leave me alone with the suspect.
Assistant Director John Pollock: Sir, it's against regulations. And it compromises the suspect's rights.
Assistant Director John Pollock: What rights?
Jess Mastriani: Those in the Constitution. Sir.
[she is still standing there, not cooperating. Pollock shrugs]
Assistant Director John Pollock: So we'll do it the old fashioned way.
[he takes his suit coat off and hangs it over the camera. Pollock turns back to Jess]

Agent #1: Let's grab some coffee to figure it out... or is coffee of limits too?

"'Way Out" (1961)

Title : Way Out

Plot keywords : * Anthology

Roald Dahl: I have a maiden aunt in Norway who was actually rolled out of bed onto the floor three nights running, by a ghost. But then she lives in what was once a very old trysting place. About 400 years ago, they bricked up a naughty girl in the wall of that room: that sort of thing always produces a ghost. If your wife is extremely delicate, and you tickle her to death, that will produce a ghost, too - so you have to be careful. We have another one for you next week at the same time. Good night and sleep well.

Season 1, Episode 6: The Croaker
[first lines]
Announcer: And now, your host, Roald Dahl.
Host: How are you? And how is your love life, you ladies? Because whatever happens, you should always try to realize that men are not nearly so preoccupied with the opposite sex as most women would like to think. Above all, you see, man is a colossal egotist, far more enamored with his own self than he is with females. And that, quite obviously, is why women are always having to doll themselves up attractively to attract his attention. To me the behavior of the male human is very much like that of a male frog. The frog, whenever he feels a trifle amorous, calls to his female by blowing out his dewlap and letting it go with a burp. The female comes hoppity hop hop over to his side and waits eagerly, but by then the male has become so engrossed with the business of blowing his own horn that he's forgotten all about her and she actually has to nudge him several times before he turns to embrace her.

---

Host: Our play, strangely enough, is called "The Croaker" by Phil Reisman Jr. and, of course, is Way Out.

---

Mr. Rana: Do you always go around breaking into people's houses without knocking?
Jeremy Keeler: Sure! Otherwise nobody would let me in. People don't like me much.

---

Cora Tench: Don't just sit there, Fred; go out and look for him. After all, he's your dog.
Fred Tench: What do you mean 'my dog'? I only bought the mutt so you two could bark at each other and leave me in peace.

---

Mr. Rana: Listen, boy, when you grow up - if you grow up - you'll be exposed to all the idiotic theories of that monumental fraud called Darwin. According to him, mankind developed out of something like this and then he said it evolved up through the jellyfish, the flatworm, the fishes past the amphibians to the birds and the reptiles.
Jeremy Keeler: Reptiles? You mean like snakes? They're cool!
Mr. Rana: They're the greatest abomination on Earth, boy. The mortal enemy of frogs! They're not even entitled to a place in evolution.

---

Mr. Rana: All things beyond the frog are just mutations of the frog. Look here, how can you improve upon perfection.

---

Sergeant McGoogan: Let me check this description again, Mrs. Tench. Collar yellow, eyes narrow and close together, weak chin, drools in the car. Well, that's a description of the missing dog!
Cora Tench: That's a description of both missing dogs, Sergeant. Look, all I know two nights ago, my idiot husband went next door looking for his idiot mutt and I haven't seen hide nor hair of either one since.

---

Sergeant McGoogan: You said he didn't pack a bag. We checked the railroad station, the bus depot and the taxi companies and there's no withdraw from your bank account.
Cora Tench: I certainly hope not.
Sergeant McGoogan: And we checked all the bars and taverns, the bottom of Mill Creek, the sand and gravel pit and homes of three ladies whose husbands travel extensively. Was he insured?
Cora Tench: You mean did I do away with him? Not yet.

---

Sergeant McGoogan: [to Jeremy] Out out out! I can hardly wait until you're 18.
Sergeant McGoogan: [to Cora] Sometimes you can hit 'em when they're 15.

---

Cora Tench: He had just told me that you had transformed Fred into a frog.
Mr. Rana: Oh, he did, did he?
Cora Tench: Imagine that. With a wave of your magic wand... or don't they use those anymore?
Mr. Rana: Oh, quite obsolete, quite obsolete, Cora. Now days, we would use a chemical decoction; something colorless, tasteless, with perhaps just a faint odor of pond water, but disguised in the heavier scent of, say, whiskey.

---

[last lines]
Host: Are frogs happier than people? This is the question just posed by the play you've just seen. But several good friends of mine, all of them frogs, have told me that the price of people's legs in the better frog's restaurants, is ridicuously high at the moment and this for one thing is causing much unhappiness. We'll have another story for you next week at the same time. Good night and sleep... well.

---

Cora Tench: My husband couldn't disappear without a trace. He's too irritating.

• Carstairs': Pretty place France, don’t you think so, Fairfax? Napoleon planted all these trees, you know?

Fairfax: Wonder when he had time to fight any battles?

Carstairs: He didn’t do it personally, fathead. He had them planted to keep the sun off his troops while they were marching up and down...

Do you notice that when ever we pass these peasant people they seem to stare at us in a rather odd way?

Fairfax: Maybe, because you’re driving a girl's bicycle.

Carstairs: Perhaps we’re doing something wrong. (A car drives by and almost crushes into them)

Carstairs: Fairfax, I think I’ve cracked it. We’re riding on the wrong side of the road!

Colonel: Who can see it about from Helga?

Geering: Come to think of it, it looks a little like Helga.
