Sen. Morton
- Senator Morton: Dreadful. Dreadful business. Poor unfortunate girl.
- Barbara Morton: She was a tramp.
- Senator Morton: She was a human being. Let me remind you that even the most unworthy of us has a right to life and the pursuit of happiness.
- Barbara Morton: From what I hear she pursued it in all directions.
- Senator Morton: You had no trouble, of course, with the police once they verified your alibi?
- Guy Haines: When an alibi is full of bourbon, sir, it can't stand up.
- Senator Morton: I'll have him called up immediately.
- Barbara Morton: Obstructing the wheels of justice, Daddy?
- Senator Morton: One doesn't always have to *say* what one thinks.
- Barbara Morton: Father, I'm not a politician.
- Senator Morton: I thought he was a bit weird when he arrived. Who is he?
- Guy Haines: I hardly know him, sir.
- Senator Morton: Well, get him out of here as soon as you decently can, will you. This is a nice item for the gossips. First thing you know, they'll be talking about orgies!
- Guy Haines: Miriam - murdered?
- Anne Morton: She was strangled.
- Senator Morton: It happened on an island in an amusement park. It was sort of a lovers lane, I believe. Evidently, a sordid atmosphere.
- Barbara Morton: Miriam went there with two boys.
- Senator Morton: Be guided by my experience. Never lose any sleep over accusations. Unless they can be proved, of course.
