Mary Ann Singleton : Michael, if I tell you something else, you must swear on a stack of Bibles that you will never EVER tell a living soul?
Michael Tolliver : [sarcastic] You think I'd cross you, baby? I've seen what you to your enemies!
Mary Ann Singleton : Forget it!
Michael Tolliver : No, please! I'm sorry. I promise. Come on, tell me.
Mary Ann Singleton : Norman wasn't just a pornographer, Michael. He was a private eye.
Michael Tolliver : Jesus! How do you know?
Mary Ann Singleton : He told me. Right before he fell. He also told me that he was working on a big case that was going to make him a lot of money. It made me start to wonder about why he came to Barbary Lane in the first place and why he was always questioning me about certain things.
Michael Tolliver : Wow! Go on.
Mary Ann Singleton : Well, when I got back to the house after... you know... I got his spare key out of the basement and went through his room again. I found this huge file he was hiding. Do you know what he was investigating?
Michael Tolliver : What?
Mary Ann Singleton : Mrs. Madrigal.
Michael Tolliver : What?
Mary Ann Singleton : I couldn't believe it either.
Michael Tolliver : Well, what did it say?
Mary Ann Singleton : I don't know. I burned it. I couldn't bring myself to open it, so I took it outside, threw it into a trash can and I burned it. Why do you think I was late for the party?
