Escort Quote by Jane Taylor Starwood
““Ralph, escort Ms. MacKinnon to get her stuff. Come right back out, and don't touch anything near the crime scene. I won't. Oh, I know you won't. I was talking to Ralphie here. He gets a little ahead of himself sometimes, if you know what I mean. Aw, Ma-I mean Chief-what'd you have to say that for?””
