• Gil Larkin : [Gil muses to himself as he tinkles the ivories and Mona wanders around studying the manuscript]  Six o'clock. I was sorry to see the day come to an end. It had been a wonderful day. But everything seemed wonderful when was with Mona. Even the arrangements I'd made for her new show I felt was the best work I'd ever done. Mona. So near and yet so distant. I guess I fell in love with Mona the first week I began to work for her. She had no idea I how felt. I couldn't let her know. She was married, married to Ben Cameron who was the top theatrical agent in New York. And although I respected her marriage, she'd somehow become very important in my life. There was something about her that set her apart from any woman I'd ever known.

• Gil Larkin : [Gil is thinking]  It was crystal clear. Somebody followed me and turned me into a patsy, a fall guy, a clay pigeon. Whoever killed Ben Cameron had wanted to pin the blame on me. I was a decoy! What should I do? What could I do? Go to the police? Say that I was in love with Cameron's wife and I wanted to ask him for her freedom? While I was there someone came in and killed him. They'd believe me? Never in a million years, they'd figure from the way it looked. They'd claim I came in, we'd argued and in a fit of anger I shot him. Wait, someone on that 'phone had heard Cameron call out the murderer's name. Ritchie!
