Gil : There's a physiological as well as psychological angle in my father's relationship with Julia Wolf that the police have overlooked, and I think it settles the whole question. You see, my father was a sexagenarian.
Reporter : He was?
Gil : Yes, he admitted it.
Reporter : A sexagenarian, eh?
Gil : [nods]
Reporter : But we can't put that in the paper.
Gil : Why not?
Reporter : You know how they are; sex?
Gil : Well, then just say he was sixty years old.
Reporter : Is that what that means?
Gil : Of course!

Gil : Could I come down and see the body? I've never seen a dead body.
Lieutenant John Guild : Why do you want to?
Gil : Well, I've been studying psychopathic criminology and I have a theory. Perhaps this was the work of a sadist or a paranoiac. If I saw it I might be able to tell.
Lieutenant John Guild : Yeah, that's a good idea. But don't you bother to come down - we'll bring the body right up to you.
