Quotes 

• Tom Alder : Can I buy you a drink, Mister Slocum?

  Desmond Slocum : I don't need nobody to buy me a drink. Not today, I don't. I got my four dollars from the blood bank and that'll carry me through tonight. Look me up tomorrow and I'll be glad to kiss your foot for the price of a drink; not tonight, buster. Go on. Get lost.

• Tom Alder : [Looking at a photo]  When was this last picture taken?

  Mrs. Eleanor Delaney : At Christmastime. Just before... before she left.

  Tom Alder : [Flips back to a previous page in photo album]  When was this one taken?

  Mrs. Eleanor Delaney : Several months before, around Easter in 1947. It's the best picture we've ever had of her. It's her father's favorite.

  Tom Alder : Is that why he gave it to the newspapers and the police?

  Mrs. Eleanor Delaney : Well it was an excellent likeness of her.

  Tom Alder : [Flips again to the last picture in the album]  It's not as good as this one.

• Tom Alder : [Indicating the picture taken at Easter]  This is a picture of a child, with a very pretty face, but still a child.

  Tom Alder : [flips to a later page in the photo album]  In a few months the face doesn't change much. But at the age of sixteen this is a picture of a woman in... a sweater... a very tight sweater... who was definitely not a child.

• Linda Foster : When I looked up your name in the directory and saw your Brentwood address I was happy. You were successful. The house measures up. But I think I rather expected more of you, Tom.

  Tom Alder : Yeah, well, you always did, didn't you, Linda.

• Jacques Pleschette : You've investigated Auguste Pleschette thoroughly. You speak with the ring of authority. You've seen a chapter and a verse.

  Tom Alder : And the book.

  Tom Alder : [door bell sounds]  Come on in.

• Tom Alder : I wanted to forget but I couldn't.

  Nicki Kovacs : I had to remember.
