Angel Face1952

Frank Jessup:
[of Diane's 'evil' stepmother]... If she's tryin' to kill you, why did she turn on the gas in her own room first?

Diane Tremayne:
...To make it look as though somebody else were guilty...

Frank Jessup:
Is that what you did?

Diane Tremayne:
Frank, are you accusing me?

Frank Jessup:
I'm not accusing anybody. But if I were a cop, and not a very bright cop at that, I'd say that your story was as phony as a three dollar bill.

Diane Tremayne:
...How can you say that to me?

Frank Jessup:
Oh, you mean after all we've been to each other?... Diane, look. I don't pretend to know what goes on behind that pretty little face of yours - I don't *want* to. But I learned one thing very early. Never be the innocent bystander - that's the guy that always gets hurt. If you want to play with matches, that's your business. But not in gas-filled rooms - that's not only dangerous, it's stupid.
