• [referring to Ellen who is bound, gagged and unconscious] 

  Tommy : I never even scratched her. We're a cinch. In a couple of hours, the bridge over the reservoir will be deserted. Now look...

  Willard Gates : Don't tell me! I don't what to know anything about it.

  Tommy : This is a work of art. The ropes come off. I tie sash weights to her ankles with soft catgut.

  Willard Gates : Please. That's a horrible word.

  Tommy : Now get the angle on this! She disappears - two weeks, maybe three, then up she pops. None of this stuff on her anymore. No marks - a suicide. Now isn't that beautiful?

  Willard Gates : It's loathsome. Be sure no one sees you.
