      • Fran: Still nothing on Leo Holt but I hit pay dirt on Myra St. John. She and Lennie Blake were married on September 13, 1965 under her real name, Six Brannick. Mark: Six? Number Six? Fran: Right. Mark: You got to be kidding. Fran: No. Her mother thought that six was a lucky number so named her six only the county clerk put it on her birth certificate in Roman numerals. Ironside: V I Mark: Vi Fran: And that's what Lennie was saying when he died Vi.

      • Myra: When's your birthday? Ed: July 27th. Myra: Oh Leo, signs are right for us you know.

      • Myra: (about her ex-lover Peter Hall) Until he decided writing was his bag not acting. Ed: Is he a good writer? Myra: Who knows, no one ever read what he wrote, so he started taking trips. Ed: Airplane, boat or drugs. Myra: What do you think?

      • Ironside: Jamie mentioned another name during rehearsal that day. Do you remember Mark? Mark: No I don't. (Ironside writes on the chalkboard the name Gale Rink) Mark: Oh that name. (Ironside continues writing switching the letters around to read King Lear) Mark: King Lear? Fran: Shakespeare's? Mark: Is there another one? Ed: I flunked anagrams one. Ironside: Try anagrams two, with the name Leo Holt. Ed: (at the chalkboard and then he gets it) Othello. Fran: I still don't get it Chief. Was Jamie trying to tell us that jealousy was the motive for murder.
