Myrna Loy credited as playing...
Florence Shrike
- William Shrike: [Of White] He's a fake. A scribbling punk trying to play the part of Goody Two-Shoes. He'll steal my fillings when I lie dead on the street.
- Florence Shrike: Then why keep him?
- William Shrike: Because I enjoy seeing youth betray their promises. It lights up all the numbers on my pinball machine.
- Adam White, nee Lassiter: A ginger ale, please... on the rocks.
- Florence Shrike: Did you ever try Cinzano? It isn't strong, but it's enough to relax you.
- Adam White, nee Lassiter: It's embarrasing - I think I'm allegic to alcohol. Every so often, I do try to drink, but it makes me sick. As a matter a fact, it *always* makes me sick. I don't know, God must have had a very careless worker on the assembly line when I came through.
- William Shrike: He showed up for work this morning, in case you were wondering.
- Florence Shrike: I wasn't. He didn't have any choice.
