- Good-bye, Martha.

- Sam's going away. Did you hear what I said, Walter?

- Yes, I heard you.

- We can't let him go, can we?

- Martha's waiting for your answer, Walter.

- We'd always be afraid of him. We couldn't live that way. We'd be fools to let him go, knowing so much about us.

- You may have a little trouble squaring this one.

- You broke into the house. You demanded money. You tried to attack me and I shot you in self-defense. I've a right to kill in self-defense. That's what the law says, doesn't it, Walter?

- Isn't that what the law says, Walter?

- It'll hold up, Walter. I'm a man with a police record.

- It's a perfect case, if you can get Walter to be your witness. Do you want to bet?

- I feel sorry for you. Both of you.
