Maxie Meadows:
Excuse the slight interruption.

Marie, Maxie Meadows' Woman:
I finished the paragraph. [he takes the book from her hand and tosses it aside]

Marie, Maxie Meadows' Woman:
[as he moves in for a kiss, she pulls away] You know what that book is all about?

Maxie Meadows:
NO.

Marie, Maxie Meadows' Woman:
The Greeks.

Maxie Meadows:
You mean someone wrote a whole book about Nick and his cousins?

Marie, Maxie Meadows' Woman:
Someone wrote a whole book about the Greeks in Greece.

Maxie Meadows:
Oh them? The Greek Greeks?

Marie, Maxie Meadows' Woman:
Yea, and these one's are all dead!

Maxie Meadows:
Oh well, that's life! [Once again moving in for kiss]

Marie, Maxie Meadows' Woman:
Yea, that's culture!

Maxie Meadows:
Baby, you can tell me all about it in the morning.

Marie, Maxie Meadows' Woman:
I'm liable to forget.

Maxie Meadows:
So you forget.

Marie, Maxie Meadows' Woman:
So who made me read the book?

Maxie Meadows:
[Finally feeling defeated in his attempt in being amorous, his slumps back on the couch and slowly says] Alright, tell me about them Greeks.

Alan Avery:
Now say that someone did see a murder being committed.

Police Sergeant Ernie Tucker:
Say it was you.

Alan Avery:
But why me?

Police Sergeant Ernie Tucker:
We found your pills in that phone booth.

Alan Avery:
You've seen my wife. She doesn't belong on the firing line anywhere. And me? Well teachers just don't make great convincing heroes.

Police Sergeant Ernie Tucker:
They make good witnesses.

Police Sergeant Ernie Tucker:
You teach kids. How much do you know about juvenile delinquency?

Alan Avery:
A little.

Police Sergeant Ernie Tucker:
It's increasing. You mentioned your wife. That she is going to have a kid. Don't you care about the world it grows up in?

Police Lt. Sam Johnson:
I think your wife would Mr. Avery.

Alan Avery:
[after quite a bit of thinking] Alright. [pauses for a bit] The car they used was a black sedan. the license number was JPF393...

Police Desk Sergeant:

Police Lt. Sam Johnson:
[as the officer over the loud speaker continues giving instructions to the suspects] Alright Mr.Avery. Take plenty of time. Look at these men over carefully.

Alan Avery:
I don't need anymore time. I'll not be able to forget either of these men as long as I live.

Police Lt. Sam Johnson:
Identify.

Alan Avery:
It's the third man and the fifth man. The fifth man did the actual killing.

Police Sergeant Ernie Tucker:
Are you sure Mr. Avery?

Alan Avery:
I'm sure.

Police Capt. Finch, Meadows Informant:
You're a brave man Mr. Avery.
