Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- 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.

- In 10 minutes you'd be sitting under the hot lights. In a half-hour you'd be signing your name to a confession.

- But I didn't do it and I'm not going to do it.

- Not if there's an insurance company in the picture, baby. They know more tricks than a carload of monkeys.

- And if there's a death mixed up in it, you haven't got a prayer.
