Roat:
Did you know they wanted to kill me? I did. I knew even before they did. They were awful amateurs, and that's why you saw through them.
Susy Hendrix:
I saw through you too.
Roat:
No, not all the way, Suzy. Even now, not all the way. The lovely thing was the way I let them set it all up. All that silliness of meeting in the parking lot, the whole thing, they had comic book minds. So, I let them do it their way, right up to the very end. And then, topsy-turvy. Me topsy and them turvy.

Mike Talman:
Damn it, you act as if you're in kindergarten! This is the big bad world, full of mean people, where nasty things happen!
Susy Hendrix:
Now you tell me.
|
|
Roat:
I cannot negotiate in an atmosphere of mistrust.
|
|
Susy Hendrix:
Bye, dope.
Sam Hendrix:
Bye, dope.
|
|
Susy Hendrix:
Mr. Roat, are you looking at me?
|
|
Susy Hendrix:
Sam, are you looking at me?
Sam Hendrix:
Yes.
[Susy sticks her tongue out at him]
|
|
Susy Hendrix:
Sam, are you there?
[pause]
Susy Hendrix:
No, Susy, I'm not here.
|
|
Sam Hendrix:
[Susy calls his studio] Hendrix here.
Susy Hendrix:
[mocking his tone] Hendrix here too.
|
|
Sam Hendrix:
Susy, is that you?
Susy Hendrix:
No, Batman!
|
|
Susy Hendrix:
Do I have to be the world champion blind lady?
Sam Hendrix:
Yes!
Susy Hendrix:
[turns around] Then I will be. I'll be everything you want me to be.
Sam Hendrix:
I don't want you to be anything other than Susy.

Susy Hendrix:
Gloria, I know you're there!

Carlino:
We don't work safes.
Roat:
I know. But you talk. And that's why you've been invited to this party. To talk you way into that big black safe, Sergeant.
Mike Talman:
There's a locked closet in the bedroom.
Roat:
Oh, no, not there. It's just clothes.
Mike Talman:
How do you know?
Roat:
I looked.
Mike Talman:
You have the key?
Roat:
It's on the ledge above the door.
Mike Talman:
No it isn't.
Roat:
Well, they must have taken it with them.
Mike Talman:
They lock the closet, but don't bolt the front door?
Roat:
They're strange people; they lose dolls.

Mike Talman:
And you? What's your favorite toy?
Roat:
[pulls out a mini statue] Geraldine.
Carlino:
What does she do?
[a large blade comes out horizontally from the feet of the statue]
Mike Talman:
And may we have Geraldine on the table too?
Roat:
No, we may not.
Carlino:
Why the hell not?
Roat:
Because she's the referee.

Roat:
Aren't you forgetting something?
Mike Talman:
We just earned the money?
[Talamn opens the door and begins to walk out]
Roat:
I mean fingerprints.
[Talman stops and closes the door]
Roat:
You just signed your names all over this place.
Roat:
[Carlino begins wiping off finger prints off banister] Hmmm. Even if you could remember eveything you touched it would still take hours to wipe em off wouldn't it? If not days.

Susy Hendrix:
[trying to find the refrigerator plug] Where is it? Where is it? OH GOD!
|
|
Roat:
I'm Harry Roat Jr from Scarsdale.
|
|
Roat:
Don't touch me!
|
|
Roat:
I'll fix him!
|
|
Gloria:
I wanna be gorgeous, guess you can't have everything.
|
|
Mike Talman:
You want something?
Roat:
You, Mr Talman and you too, Sgt Carlino.
|
|
Roat:
Well, she was trespassing, Mike... going into business for herself. Bad news.
|
|
Roat:
Once upon a time there was a fairy princess named Lisa.
|
|
Lisa:
They should make heroin look like something else. Candy bars maybe.
