Nat Pendleton: Police Sgt. Ernest Heath

Quotes 

• Dr. Doremus : [to the butler who's showing him in]  I don't need an usher to lead me to a corpse.

  [to Markham and Vance] 

  Dr. Doremus : Evening, Mr. Markham. Evening, Mr. Vance.

  Sergeant Ernest Heath : [sarcastically]  What! No kiss for me, honey?

  Dr. Doremus : Ah!

  Philo Vance : [as Doremus takes a sandwich out of his bag]  My dear doctor, what is that?

  Dr. Doremus : My dinner.

  District Attorney Markham : You're not going to eat in here?

  Dr. Doremus : Why not? For fourteen years you've called me from my soup to look at some dissipated cadaver. From now on, I'll eat with some corpse.

  Sergeant Ernest Heath : Don't forget, Doc, Christmas dinner at the morgue.

  Dr. Doremus : [Deadpan]  I hope to see you there.
