Quotes
-
Dan Mathews : Foster reported the accident. He said he was out deer hunting, heard a noise in the thicket and he fired. He thought your father was quite a distance away.
Phyllis Chadwick : I... I can't believe it! What was my father doing out there?
Dan Mathews : Well, he'd gone for a walk with Foster. Foster had his rifle with 'im.
Phyllis Chadwick : My father never went hunting in his life! He wouldn't even go around with anyone who carried a gun! He couldn't bear to see any living thing killed.

[last lines]
William Foster : Well, what is it now, Mr. Mathews?
Dan Mathews : We wanna ask you some more questions.
William Foster : I promised to cooperate, but honestly, this continued harassment... Oh, I'm sorry. I guess you understand I... I've been under quite a strain.
Dan Mathews : Yeah, sure. We know.
William Foster : I came up to pick up some business correspondence and some records.
Dan Mathews : Do you mind givin' 'em to us?
William Foster : Oh, really they're of no significance to anyone outside the firm. They're merely records I didn't want anything to happen to.
Dan Mathews : Oh, we'll make sure nothin' happens to 'em.
William Foster : All right. They're in the front seat. After all, I won't be needing them immediately. Well, is that all, Mr. Mathews? I mean, I'd like to get back to the city before dark.
Dan Mathews : Yea, sure. You'll make it, and don't worry about the four grand you carry.
William Foster : What are you talking about?
Dan Mathews : We're trying to figure out how Corbin coulda walked through the mud and kept his shoes clean.
