Quote context

[...]

- Sam weighs about as much as I do.

- He's practically a hermit. He wouldn't be missed for a long time.

- The local undertaker would know him.

- Not if we made him look as if he'd been in a serious accident.

- But if Bailey's going to take the blame, why do you have to do this?

- A jury might acquit him.

- In that case, I'd be a logical suspect.

- I could disappear, of course. But it's safer if they think I'm dead.

- What if I don't go for this deal?

- In that case, it would be too bad.

- You mean you'd kill me?

- What else could I do? Now that I've told you about the million. I'd say you were shot in a hunting accident.

- Now, look, doctor, it you can find another body instead of Sam's, it's all right with me.

- There's half a million in it for you.

- I'll do my best.
