Capt. Barney Miller : Mr Weiskoff, I understand you don't need a lawyer ?
Lawrence Weiskoff : Why ? I'm as guilty as if I killed her myself
Capt. Barney Miller : What do you mean "as if" ? I thought you did.
Lawrence Weiskoff : Maybe I should explain this
Capt. Barney Miller : Maybe you should
Lawrence Weiskoff : You see, Gwen and I had made a suicide pact between the two of us. We just decided that our lives had become empty and meaningless so why keep going ?
Capt. Barney Miller : Keep going... for my benefit.
Lawrence Weiskoff : Well, we couldn't bring ourselves to do it together. So we decided that she would be at her apartment and I would be at mine and then at exactly high noon, she would jump out of her window. And I... I would take a revolver and put a bullet in my head
Capt. Barney Miller : Very poetic.
Lawrence Weiskoff : Thank you
Capt. Barney Miller : And also very stupid
Lawrence Weiskoff : Anyway... anyway at the last minute, I... I lost my nerve, I chickened out, I couldn't do it. I tried to call her and stop her, but..uh... but It was too late. Oh God, when I think what I've done, I could kill myself. Almost !
