Ann Treadwell
- Ann Treadwell: Are you as interested in McPherson as he is in you?
- Laura Hunt: But Ann, I only met him last night.
- Ann Treadwell: That's more than long enough sometimes. Anyway, he's better for you than Shelby. Anybody is. Shelby's better for me.
- Laura Hunt: Why?
- Ann Treadwell: 'Cause I can afford him and understand him. He's no good, but he's what I want. I'm not a nice person, Laura. Neither is he. He knows I know he's just what he is. He also knows that I don't care. We belong together because we're both weak and can't seem to help it. That's why I know he's capable of murder. He's like me.
- [Laura turns to look at her, shocked]
- Ann Treadwell: No, dear, I didn't. But I thought of it.
