- Charwoman: Excuse me, sir. There's a policeman called. Inspector Pembury.
- Lee Warren: Who does he want to see?
- Charwoman: Mrs. Warren.
- Lee Warren: Has he brought any flowers?
- Charwoman: [bewildered] No. sir.
- Lee Warren: Then show him in.
- Insp. Pembury: It's all too neat and tidy. It all adds up perfectly. Too perfectly.
- Sgt. Fox: Don't you think that's just because we were able to come across the evidence quickly, sir?
- Insp. Pembury: Maybe. I was wondering whether we were meant to come across it.
- Sgt. Fox: You mean, you mean you believe the boy when he says someone else put the pillowcase in his car?
- Insp. Pembury: I don't know. All I do know is whoever planned this murder was a clever man. Cool, calculatiing, ruthless. Clever. Does that sound like Jimmy Martin to you?
- Sgt. Fox: You can never tell with those quiet ones. He may have committed half a dozen other murders for all we know.
- Insp. Pembury: That's right. Perhaps he's Hitler in disguise. He's about the right height.
- Vivien Warren: I don't want you to die, Lee, but you've got to.
- Lee Warren: Why?
- Vivien Warren: So that I may go on living the way that I want to live.
