Quote context

[...]

- I pitied him so.

- And now you hate him.

- Yes, Walter.

- He's so mean to me. Every time I buy a dress or a pair of shoes he yells his head off. He never lets me go anywhere. He keeps me shut up. He's always been mean to me.

- Even his life insurance all goes to that daughter of his. That Lola.

- Nothing for you at all?

- No. And nothing is just what I'm worth to him.

- So you lie awake in the dark and listen to him snore and get ideas.

- I don't want to kill him. I never did. Not even when he gets drunk and slaps my face.

- Only sometimes you wish he was dead.

- Perhaps I do.

- Then you wish it was an accident, and you had that policy for $50,000. Is that it?

- Perhaps that, too.

- The other night we drove home from a party. He was drunk again. When we drove into the garage, he just sat there with his head on the steering wheel and the motor still running.

- And I thought what it would be like if I didn't switch it off, just closed the garage doors and left him there.

- I'll tell you what it'd be like. If you had that accident policy and tried to pull a monoxide job...

- We've got a guy in our office named Keyes. For him a setup like that'd be just like a slice of rare roast beef. In three minutes he'd know it wasn't an accident.
