The Walls Came Tumbling Down1946

Gilbert Archer:
I'll make you a proposition. You want that missing page. I want information.

Mrs. Stoker:
Information, Mr. Archer?

Gilbert Archer:
Let me put it this way. I have a few theories I'd like to have you confirm.

Matthew Stoker:
Mr. Archer, you've always found me a very reasonable man.

Gilbert Archer:
You've been reasonable, Holy Joe, but not very bright. You thought I was in this for the money, but from the first I only wanted to find out one thing: Who murdered Father Walsh. You did, you and that trained ape of yours.

Mrs. Stoker:
Isn't that interesting?

Gilbert Archer:
You didn't intend to kill Father Walsh, but when you put Rausch to work on him, he got too rough.

Matthew Stoker:
Brilliant, Mr. Archer!

Gilbert Archer:
And then you hanged his dead body from a beam and made it appear that a priest of God had taken his own life. You, Bradford, you called me to your office to make sure that my apartment would be unoccupied. While you were searching it, Catherine Walsh arrived with the first Bible, and you killed Catherine Walsh. Those are the theories I wanted to verify. Well, let's go.

Rev. George Bradford:
Not yet. We're waiting for Mr. Helms to confirm the transaction.

Gilbert Archer:
I'm willing to forego that now.

Matthew Stoker:
No, no. We wouldn't have you do that, Mr. Archer. We'll wait. You were so insistent upon seeing him.
