Guy Haines : I get him to do it?
Anne Morton : Bruno Anthony. He killed Miriam, didn't he? It wasn't you, it was him.
Guy Haines : Yes...
Anne Morton : Tell me the truth, how did you get Mr. Anthony to do it?

Anne Morton : What do you mean "your murder"?
Guy Haines : He read all about me in the newspapers and magazines. He knew about me, Miriam, and you. He told me that if he were to get rid of Miriam so I would be free to marry you, I should kill his father so he could be free of him.
Anne Morton : But you should have known that he was only talking nonsense.
Guy Haines : But he wasn't! And now he's after me to see I fulfill my end. Now, a lunatic wants me to kill his father.

Guy Haines : Since that very first night. He showed up at my place and gave me her glasses.
Anne Morton : Why didn't you call the police right away? Why didn't you turn Bruno in right then?
