Lady in the Death House (1944)

Lionel Atwill: Charles Finch

Quotes 

• Finch : [takes out a notebook]  You might give me the names of all the other boys you know, that you go out with.

  Suzy : All of them? I hope you've got plenty of paper.

  Finch : Well, I could believe there'd be a long list.

  Suzy : Oh, Mr Finch!

• Finch : The last mile. The last long walk to the death chamber, and eternity. An eye for an eye. A life for a life. It is so written. The state, which cannot give life, demands the right to take life. Mary Kirk walked those 39 steps unafraid, leaving behind a letter, a document of courage: " In one hour, I shall be dead. Killed by the hand of the man I love. I can hear the preparations for my execution. I can feel the expectant hush through the walls."

• Finch : You're never licked until you give up.
