Quotes 

• Nancy Drew : [pouring Ryan Hudson's wife a glass of wine]  Please tell me this isn't the last box.

  Ace : Sorry, I was thirsty.

  Bess Marvin : I will go check the storeroom.

  Ace : I'm growing on her.

  Nancy Drew : Like a fungus, Ace.

• Chief E.O. McGinnis : [Nancy and her friends were found at a crime scene]  So, what do you five have to say?

  Bess Marvin : I'd ask you to check the cameras in the storeroom, because I'd totally be on there, time-stamped, looking for wine. But we don't have any cameras in the storeroom.

  Georgia 'George' Fan : I was in the ladies' room, and it's a single stall, so yeah... by myself.

  Ned 'Nick' Nickerson : I already said the repair shop was closed. I figured that implied it was empty. That's why I was headed here for dinner.

  Ace : Ryan Hudson can verify my whereabouts. I delivered food to him and his friends when the lights went out. Yeah, since the waitresses were nowhere to be seen. Not that I think they did anything wrong.

  Nancy Drew : I found her. My fingerprints will be on her plate. Other than the person who may have done this, I believe I was the last one to see her alive.

  Chief E.O. McGinnis : Ace here has an alibi.

  Georgia 'George' Fan : What?

  Chief E.O. McGinnis : Bring the rest down to the station. Tell Mr. Hudson and his friends they are free to leave.

• Bess Marvin : [Nancy inadvertently recorded a murder on her phone]  Tiffany Hudson, murdered by a ghost.

  Nancy Drew : Okay, you've seen it three times. Can I have it back?

  Georgia 'George' Fan : You're the one who asked for our opinion.

  Nancy Drew : Because I thought you would help me find another explanation.

  Ace : I think my girl Bess nailed it.

  Bess Marvin : Not your girl. Never will be.

  Ace : And not just any ghost. Dead Lucy.

  Georgia 'George' Fan : Okay, not sure she's a credible alternative suspect here, Ace.

  Bess Marvin : You all know this ghost?

  Ace : Lucy Sable. She was crowned Sea Queen in the year 2000. Disappeared after the celebration, never seen again. Blood on the rocks, a little scrap of her pink dress.

  Bess Marvin : It's definitely her.

  Nancy Drew : Except definitely not.

  Georgia 'George' Fan : Ghosts aren't real, Bess.

  Ace : You guys, Lucy gets blamed for a lot of stuff around here. Kid puts a baseball through a window. Dead Lucy. Wife finds a strange earring in bed, husband blames Lucy. Never had a murder pinned on her, though.

• Nancy Drew : [theorizing about Tiffany Hudson's death]  Was either of them on medication? Is there a secret cell phone? Is-is there a new will? A-A post-nup? An insurance policy?

  Ace : Gambling debt. A strange addiction.

  Bess Marvin : I thought you were Team Ghost.

  Ace : I am Team Ghost.

  Nancy Drew : Is the stolen ring evidence of a botched robbery?

  Ned 'Nick' Nickerson : Or is that what it's supposed to look like?

  Nancy Drew : Exactly.

  [thinking] 

  Nancy Drew : Except I don't do this anymore.

• Georgia 'George' Fan : You broke into Ryan's house?

  Nancy Drew : It was a spur-of-the-moment thing.

  Bess Marvin : You stole Tiffany's jewelry?

  Nancy Drew : Coming from the known ex-felon.

  Bess Marvin : It was a misdemeanor, and I'm just saying, I'm impressed.

  Georgia 'George' Fan : Hate to admit it, but so am I.

  Ace : I'm also impressed.

  Nancy Drew : It was in a hidden compartment in Tiffany's nightstand. With a note.

  Bess Marvin : [taking the note]  "For your protection"? From what? And who's "H.G."?

  Georgia 'George' Fan : We gotta crack this thing open. I bet there's a clue inside.

  Nancy Drew : [George walks away]  Where are you going? That's mine.

  Bess Marvin : Technically stolen property.

  Nancy Drew : [thinking]  This is why I work alone.
