• Miss Connie Stewart : Get out of here. I'm so fed up with cops, scrambling for a spot on the front page, and *you*, showing off in the courtroom. That watchman twisting what he saw into something he didn't see at all!

  Steven Mathews : That watchman told the truth.

  Miss Connie Stewart : He lied!

  Steven Mathews : That man believed everything he told at the trial.

  Miss Connie Stewart : [softens her demeanor]  Won't you talk to him again, question him? Please.

  Steven Mathews : If I do, what's my percentage?

  Miss Connie Stewart : Well, if you find out anything, I might even think you're half as smart as *you* think.

  Steven Mathews : [laughs heartily]  Well, 50 percent's better than nothing!
