Quotes 

• Jonathan Cooper : Eve, I hated to tell you that phony story in your car that time. But there was no other way! Charlotte did go to my flat after I killed her husband. Her dress was stained and so I bought her a clean one. Then, when she went to the theater, I made a big stain on it, to make you believe me. I'm telling you the truth!

• [first lines] 

  Eve Gill : Any sign of the police?

  Jonathan Cooper : No, no sign. Looks like we're getting away with it.

  Eve Gill : Good.

  Jonathan Cooper : How far is it to your father's boat?

  Eve Gill : Two hours, with luck. You're luck seems to be very good. Touching wood.

• Jonathan Cooper : Eve, do you hate me? Now that you know about Charlotte and me?

  Eve Gill : Why, I could never hate you Jonathan; because, we're - we're such old friends. And - well, just because. But, I do wish I'd taken lessons on the second fiddle.

• Charlotte Inwood : Well, you don't want me to give up everything, do you?

  Jonathan Cooper : Why not? I have.

• Jonathan Cooper : I'm sorry to turn up so late, Eve; but I'm stranded in town for the night. All the hotels are full. My flat's uninhabitable. I told you, it's in the hands of the - decorators. I know its a frightful imposition; but, I wondered if you could give me a shakedown somewhere?
