Dial M for Murder Quote
Tony Wendice : What makes you think he came in by this door?
Chief Insp. Hubbard : His shoes.
Tony Wendice : His shoes?
Chief Insp. Hubbard : The ground was soaking wet last night. If he'd come in by the garden, he'd have left mud all over the carpet. As it is, he didn't leave any marks at all, because he wiped his shoes on the front doormat.
Tony Wendice : How can you tell?
Chief Insp. Hubbard : It's a fairly new mat, and some of its fibers came off on his shoes.
Tony Wendice : Oh, but surely...
Chief Insp. Hubbard : And there was a small tar stain on the mat, and some of the fibers show that as well. There is no question about it.
