Quote context

[...]

- How did you get in?

- Huh? Oh, I forced the door open.

- I know, but when you're desperate, you do a lot of things you ordinarily couldn't do. I guess I just sort of made believe I was Superman and...

- Ready with Warden Reid.

- Oh, thank you.

- Hello? Warden, I'm calling from Miss Lane's apartment. I'm gonna put her on the phone and I want you to tell her that Krishna's execution went off as scheduled.

- I'm sorry, but it didn't. He cheated the chair.

- I don't understand.

- Clark? What happened?

- Wait a minute.

- Hello? Hello?

- Yes, I'm here.

- I thought we were disconnected.

- No, no. I'm still on.

- You say he wasn't executed?

- Er, no. We found him dead in his cell at ten minutes to eleven - heart attack.

- I see.

- I'm just as well satisfied. You know how I feel about executions.

- Oh, yes. Yes, I know. Well, that's that. Thanks, Warden.

- That's quite all right.

- Bye.

- Goodbye.
