Nancy Sinatra, daughter of Frank Sinatra, said in her book "Sinatra: An American Legend" (1998), that this picture was one that her father was very excited about.

Popular Dialogues

"Edward Delaney: What else can you tell me about the wound? Dr. Sanford Ferguson: Well, penetration was straight down into the skull. Now, what does that tell *you*? Edward Delaney: Well, it could tell me that the killer is at least 4 or 5 inches taller than the victim, hmm? Dr. Sanford Ferguson: Yeah, unless he was standing on a box. Did you see a box out there? Edward Delaney: No, doctor. Dr. Sanford Ferguson: Six feet, and quick. Edward Delaney: And powerful. And also well-dressed. And white - otherwise Gilbert would never let him get that close to him. Dr. Sanford Ferguson: You know, Delaney, the intricacies of your mind never cease to amaze me."

"Dr. Bernardi: [Delaney's arrived at the hospital where his wife has been operated on] Sergeant Delaney, they got ahold of you. Edward Delaney: Yeah, they said it was some kind of an emergency. What happened? Dr. Bernardi: Well, several hours ago Barbara began running a high fever, and experiencing severe pain in the lumbar region. She was going into shock, so we thought it best to operate. We, uh, had to remove one of her kidneys. Edward Delaney: [confused] Removed? What? Dr. Bernardi: It was very badly infected. Diseased. Rotted. We had no other choice. Edward Delaney: "Diseased"? With *what*? Dr. Bernardi: Well, we're still not sure. It's down in the lab, we'll know in the morning. [Delaney looks a bit stunned] Dr. Bernardi: Sergeant, a person can live with one kidney. Edward Delaney: [getting angry] Listen, she's been in here for one week. You told me originally that if it was a kidney stone, she'd be outta' here in a couple of days. Dr. Bernardi: I know what I said, Sergeant. I was wrong. Edward Delaney: [slightly incredulous] You were wrong? Dr. Bernardi: Sergeant, I'm not God. Edward Delaney: Yeah, that's pretty obvious, isn't it?"
