Richard Parker : What happened to the contest?
Maxie : Contest?
Richard Parker : There was a blues contest on the radio. I was just listening to it.
Maxie : Oh, that was last week. You must have be listening to a repeat.

Richard Parker : [as he and David were hearing Kay's voice] That's her voice. I'd know it if she was singing underwater.
David Duttonville : So who got killed that night?
Richard Parker : I don't know. We got to exhume the body and get a closer look.
David Duttonville : Can't exhume the body. It was cremated. I checked on the way over. Besides, Otis is not the only one who identified the body.
Richard Parker : Someone else?
David Duttonville : A doctor.
Richard Parker : A doctor?
David Duttonville : Yeah.
Richard Parker : I'll bet you $1,000 if you call my insurance company, you will see that same doctor's name on an insurance claim that Eddy made when he faked an accident involving my car.
David Duttonville : You're suggesting that Otis went out and hired someone...
Richard Parker : Probably.
David Duttonville : ...who resembled Kay, so you could make love to her and he could then beat her to death.
Richard Parker : Yes.
David Duttonville : I'll think about it.

Richard Parker : I'm Richard Parker. Why are you doing this to me?
Mrs. Watkins : Who is it?
Mr. Watkins : Call the police. Get my gun and then call the police.
Richard Parker : I lost my wife... my child, my home. I'm facing a death sentence or a life imprisonment.
Mr. Watkins : [to Mrs. Watkins] Call the police.
Richard Parker : How do you sleep at night?
Mr. Watkins : [raises his gun as he was about to shoot Richard. To Mrs. Watkins] Damn it, woman, call the police.
Richard Parker : Didn't he pay you to enough to kill me?

Richard Parker : Priscilla, please. Don't be jealous. There's nothing to be jealous of.
Priscilla Parker : I'm not jealous. It's just that - Something went missing from this marriage... and for a while it seemed to come back again.
Richard Parker : Now - We never should have taken that money.
Priscilla Parker : We never should have taken that money? Now you say something? Now you're gonna make the moral judgement. Is that what this is all about? Eddy lacks your moral fibre? What about gratitude, Richard? He risked his reputation. He risked his life for us! No, he may not always play by the rules, but at least he's in the game. When was the last time you took a risk?

Richard Parker : [startled] Oh, Jesus. Who the hell are you?
David Duttonville : My name is David Duttonville. I'm a private investigator. I... I'm gonna sit down now. You scared me.
Richard Parker : Door was open. I used to live next door, I was just...
David Duttonville : Yes, I know who you are. I thought you were still in the...
Richard Parker : I made the bail.
David Duttonville : Great.

Eddy Otis : You know, me and Kay were saying, you two have really got it made: a nice home, a nice business, a beautiful, talented daughter, a great marriage.
Richard Parker : I'm very lucky.
Eddy Otis : What's the trick?
Richard Parker : To which?
Eddy Otis : Marriage. How do you hold it all together?
Richard Parker : Trust, I guess.
Eddy Otis : Trust. That's very interesting.

Priscilla Parker : Don't hurt me, please!
Richard Parker : I'm not gonna hurt you.
Priscilla Parker : I...
Richard Parker : [hands tape to Priscilla] I want you to play this for Eddy. It's Kay. She's alive. It was another one of Eddy's scams. This one was for a million and a half.
Priscilla Parker : Oh, Richard. Oh.
Richard Parker : Just play the tape... for Eddy tonight.
Priscilla Parker : May I go now?
Richard Parker : You'll play it?
Priscilla Parker : I'll play the tape.

Jimmy Schwartz : Richard, listen. We talked about this yesterday, and I-I'm not getting the sound that we, er, were looking for. Look, we're all tired, but, you know, we might as well not be recording this unless we're gonna get some punch. Now, maybe my ears are clogged or something, but, it's a...
Richard Parker : Jimmy, we - we agreed on this yesterday.
Jimmy Schwartz : Say it. What? What? Tell me.
Richard Parker : We've been playing a long time. Okay? We need a lunch break. Why don't we just get through one track, one take, and then give us your notes, okay?
Jimmy Schwartz : Okay, but, you know, I want - Hold it.
Richard Parker : We can fix it in the mix.
Jimmy Schwartz : We can do it in the mix, but I-I-I want to hear it in the performance too. Just, just surge. I want a - Whee!
Richard Parker : Jimmy!
Jimmy Schwartz : Wha- Richard, look. At the risk...
Richard Parker : It's not the fucking Leonora Overture, okay? It's a jingle. Just let us get through it once, okay? And then we'll have lunch and then we'll have notes and then we'll fix it in the mix, okay?

Richard Parker : [on the phone] Hello?
David Duttonville : I got your message. Didn't I tell you not to go to Charleston, Richard?
Richard Parker : Why didn't he kill the real Kay? It would have been a lot easier.
David Duttonville : Maybe they were partners in it. Maybe he liked her too much. But I don't...
Richard Parker : Maybe they're still in touch.
David Duttonville : It's a possibility, I guess.
Richard Parker : It's my last possibility.

Richard Parker : You got anything?
David Duttonville : Got, er, three Memphis
Richard Parker : I got a Memphis. Savannahs.
David Duttonville : Savannah here.
