Jeff:
I've seen it through that window. I've seen bickering and family quarrels and mysterious trips at night, knives and saws and ropes, and now since last evening, not a sign of the wife. All right, now you tell me where she is...
Lisa:
Maybe he's leaving his wife, I don't know, I don't care. Lots of people have knives and saws and ropes around their houses and lots of men don't speak to their wives all day. Lots of wives nag and men hate them and trouble starts. But very very few of them end up in murder if that's what you're thinking.
Jeff:
It's pretty hard for you to keep away from that word isn't it?
Lisa:
You could see all that he did, couldn't you?
Jeff:
Of course, I...
Lisa:
You could see because the shades were up and, and he walked along the corridor and the street and the back yard. Oh Jeff, do you think a murderer would let you see all that? That he wouldn't pull the shades down and hide behind them?
Jeff:
Just where he's being clever. He's being nonchalant about things...
Lisa:
Oh, and that's where you're not being clever. A murderer would never parade his crime in front of an open window.
Jeff:
Why not?
Lisa:
[pointing to the newlyweds' window] Why, for all you know, there's probably something a lot more sinister going on behind those windows.
Jeff:
Where? Oh, no comment.
