Captain Vettori:
Dr. Burke, you're saying it's murder.
Dr. Burke:
I'm just saying that two accidental deaths with no witnesses is more than a coincidence.
Captain Vettori:
You state in your official report that Mrs. Mason fractured her skull in a fall down the stairs.
Dr. Burke:
But you see, she could just as easily have been hit over the head with a blunt object, and then dropped down the stairs.
Captain Vettori:
Then why don't you say that?
[slaps medical report]

Dr. Burke:
I couldn't be certain. I'm not an expert in forensic medicine. Anything is possible.
Captain Vettori:
You can't have it both ways, Doctor, what is it, accident or murder?
Dr. Burke:
The only thing I can state with medical certainty is that Mrs. Mason is certifiably dead.
Captain Vettori:
Then let's leave it at that, until we get to Maracaibo. Let them enjoy the rest of the cruise, they paid for it.
Dr. Burke:
No they didn't, not one person at that table paid for this trip. They won the cruise in a contest, all of them.
Captain Vettori:
How do you know this?
Dr. Burke:
They talked about it the first night.
Captain Vettori:
I wonder why I wasn't told? Drink?
Dr. Burke:
Thank you.
Captain Vettori:
Contests are usually coordinated through the public relation department of the steamship line. I would've been informed.
Dr. Burke:
Let's see, they said the name of the company that sponsored the contest. E and M Promotions.
Captain Vettori:
Never heard of them. Of course that doesn't mean anything, I've been sailing out of Miami for 8 years and just found out they had a football team, Miami Porpoises.
Dr. Burke:
Dolphins I think.
Captain Vettori:

Same genetic family.
