Lisa Fremont
- Lisa Fremont: I wish I could be creative.
- L.B. Jefferies: Oh sweetie, you are. You have a great talent for creating difficult situations.
- L.B. Jefferies: Why would a man leave his apartment three times on a rainy night with a suitcase and come back three times?
- Lisa Fremont: He likes the way his wife welcomes him home.
- Lisa Fremont: What's he doing? Cleaning house?
- L.B. Jefferies: He's washing and scrubbing down the bathroom walls.
- Stella: Must've splattered a lot.
- [both Jeff and Lisa look at Stella with disgust]
- Stella: Come on, that's what were all thinkin'. He killed her in there, now he has to clean up those stains before he leaves.
- Lisa Fremont: Stella... your choice of words!
- Stella: Nobody ever invented a polite word for a killin' yet.
- L.B. Jefferies: When am I going to see you again?
- Lisa Fremont: [angry] Not for a long time...
- [softening]
- Lisa Fremont: at least not until tomorrow night.
- Lisa Fremont: How's your leg?
- L.B. Jefferies: Hurts a little.
- Lisa Fremont: Your stomach?
- L.B. Jefferies: Empty as a football.
- Lisa Fremont: And your love life?
- L.B. Jefferies: Not too active.
- Lisa Fremont: Anything else bothering you?
- L.B. Jefferies: Uh-huh, who are you?
- Lisa Fremont: Today's a very special day.
- L.B. Jefferies: It's just another run-of-the-mill Wednesday. The calendar's full of 'em.
- Lisa Fremont: The last thing Mrs. Thorwald would leave behind would be her wedding ring. Stella, do you ever leave yours at home?
- Stella: The only way somebody would get that would be to chop off my - finger. Let's go down to the garden and find out what's buried there.
- Lisa Fremont: Why not? I always wanted to meet Mrs. Thorwald.
- L.B. Jefferies: Those two yellow zinnias at the end, they're shorter now. Now since when do flowers grow shorter over the course of two weeks? Something's buried there.
- Lisa Fremont: Mrs. Thorwald!
- Stella: You haven't spent much time around cemeteries, have you? Mr. Thorwald could hardly bury his wife's body in plot of ground about one foot square. Unless he put her in standing on end, in which case he wouldn't need the knives and saw.
- Lisa Fremont: What's a logical explanation for a woman taking a trip with no luggage?
- L.B. Jefferies: That she didn't know she was going on a trip and where she was going she wouldn't need any luggage.
- Lisa Fremont: Exactly.
- L.B. Jefferies: She's like a queen bee with her pick of the drones.
- Lisa Fremont: I'd say she's doing a woman's hardest job: juggling wolves.
- [describing a dress]
- Lisa Fremont: A steal at $1,100.
- L.B. Jefferies: Eleven hundred? They ought to list that dress on the stock exchange.
- Lisa Fremont: Jeff, you know if someone came in here, they wouldn't believe what they'd see. You and me with long faces plunged into despair because we find out a man didn't kill his wife. We're two of the most frightening ghouls I've ever known.
- Lisa Fremont: Where does a man get inspiration to write a song like that?
- L.B. Jefferies: He gets it from the landlady once a month.
- Lisa Fremont: A woman never goes anywhere but the hospital without packing makeup, clothes, and jewelry.
