Double Indemnity1944

Walter:
Sometimes people are where they can't talk. Under six feet of dirt maybe. And if it was you, they'd charge that up to Zachetti too, wouldn't they? Sure they would. And that's just what's gonna happen, baby. Cause he's coming here tonight in about 15 minutes - with the cops right behind him. It's all taken care of.

Phyllis:
That would make everything lovely for you, wouldn't it?

Walter:
Right. And it's got to be done before that suit of yours comes to trial and Lola gets a chance to sound off. Before they trip you up in the stand and you start to go under and drag me down with ya.

Phyllis:
Maybe I had Zachetti here so they won't get a chance to trip me up so we can get the money and be together.

Walter:
That's cute. Say it again.

Phyllis:
He came here first, asked where Lola was. I made him come back. I was working on him. He's a crazy sort of guy. Quick-tempered. I kept hammering into him that she was with another man so he'd go into one of his jealous rages and then I'd tell him where she was. And you know what he would have done to her, don't you, Walter?

Walter:
Yeah. And for once I believe you, because it's just rotten enough.

Phyllis:
We're both rotten.

Walter:
Only you're a little more rotten. You got me to take care of your husband for ya. And then you get Zachetti to take care of Lola, maybe take care of me too. Then somebody else would have come along to take care of Zachetti for ya. That's the way you operate, isn't it, baby?

Phyllis:
Suppose it is. Is what you've got cooked up for tonight any better?
