Scoop (2006) Edit

A blonde? But in the paper... The pictures in the paper...

A great credit to the fourth estate.

A journalist from the land of the departed.

A major story and didn't follow it up himself?

A most unusual sequence of events.

A newspaperman in the best tradition.

A nice guy who helped out with the investigation

A respected businessman, hmm?

A special relationship with some young guy, Peter.

A stroke, a sudden embolism or lightning... You know I...

A woman's been strangled!

A would be investigative reporter

About how the French horn player sleeps with his wife at night?

About the Tarot Card murder case.

Absolutely. Would you like that?

Actually,

Actually, I bought my first Reuben's with poker winnings.

Actually, I used to be captain of the Brooklyn Community Swim Team.

Actually, no, let me, please,

Actually... Well, anyway, it doesn't matter. Really.

Ah, finally. Just you and I all weekend.

Ah, there you are. I was searching for you.

Ah.

Ah. PETER: There you are.

Alabama! Am I right? Am I right?

All I know is that the second it was over,

All right, all right, all right. I knew Betty Gibson.

All right, now, are you happening to be thinking of the seven of spades?

All right, who's winning?

All right.

All right. All I'm saying, is that in order to make an accusation,

All these old instruments, it's very romantic.

All we need is to get caught in here.

All you have here are a number of titillating speculations.

ALL: To Joe. Joe Strombel.

Although it's a tantalizing thought.

An inspiration,

And 12 midgets.

And as the crumbs fall off the table,

And be careful. Lives are in the balance.

And break this case wide open!

And check his Tarot deck. See if a card's missing.

And cuts people's neckties off.

And drilling. Ah.

And everything goes according to plan exactly and she's gone.

And for my next experiment...

And found you totally enchanting

And he died three days ago. Uh huh.

And he dumps you, you know. I get it.

And he likes you, but he's sexually attracted to her.

And he'd win.

And here I am, which is fantastic.

And his DNA and a fingerprint they found check out.

And his name was Peter.

And I asked his advice on whether to report it or not.

And I assure you in advance, I'll love it.

And I became friends with their granddaughter, Vivian.

And I call it an experiment, you see, not a trick.

And I find much of what you say very amusing.

And I got her in the thing, and I vanish her

And I just could not let that go on, could I?

And I love London. Don't get me wrong, I love London,

And I made it seem as though it all suddenly just came to me.

And I mean that sincerely. I say that from the bottom of my heart.

And I mean that. From the bottom of my heart I say that to you.

And I say that with all due respect.

And I thought I heard this click on the phone,

And I'd love you to come.

And I'm a journalist sitting on top of

And I'm doing a story

And I'm gonna be driving up there later and she asked me

And I'm gonna have your molecules split up. I'm gonna split 'em up.

And I've used every trick I know.

And if he doesn't... If, you know... Then I'll notify your parents.

And if it turns out to be Lyman,

And in the United States, I would have been a hero. I would have saved her.

And it most assuredly is not Peter Lyman.

And made it look like a Tarot killing.

And make the card game, yes, he had plenty of time.

And makes a twanging sound. Very musical. Yes, yes.

And my father is not my father. His name is Sidney Waterman.

And no one will think twice to investigate the death of some obscure vaud...

And now I totally blew it, and...

And now we've come full cycle and, alas, you're going to have to drown.

And once you've alerted him to the suspicion... That he is under suspicion,

And one of the best bits of investigative journalism in a long time.

And pensive.

And probe deeper into this case.

And said he was going away on a business trip and he got caught lying.

And she had some kind of a long relationship...

And she learned who I was, and...

And she was a very, very weak swimmer.

And Sidney will go later tonight.

And since you like Chinese food,

And smoking cigarettes with the hat back. Now, what kind of...

And so far, no one else has the information.

And so, I'm...

And stop telling people I sprang from your loins.

And suddenly, Strombel appears. What?

And that made him persona non grata with the Royal Family.

And that's where you'll wind up.

And the less anyone knows about it, the better.

And the police have him now, so everything's fine.

And then he died before he could follow it up.

And then I gotta shop it around to every paper in town.

And then I remember. I can call it to mind whenever I...

And then they grow up and they accuse you of having Alzheimer's.

And then we'll go to that party tonight.

And then we'll take my little brother

And there are some genuine circumstantial bits of evidence.

And there's a world of departed people?

And they may not.

And this paper is proud to run it.

And three French hens.

And to go to the police?

And to the late Sidney Waterman.

And we were going to be shot any moment by the Taliban, until,

And what? You're vacationing here? Oh, yes.

And when you say something more serious, that's...

And where are you from, Sondra? No, don't tell me,

And without whom I never could have made it.

And you have a very sensual quality.

And you may be deceased, but you should not be discouraged.

And you saw me. I mean, how unnerving.

And you, well, your secretary, actually, because... Not you.

And you're always saying all the men you meet are complete losers.

And you're gonna wind up drinking it!

And, don't get me wrong, it's a great profession.

And, of course, as soon as I got to know you,

And, oh, I can cook Chinese food. Ah.

And, oh, thanks for telling him I'm your father.

And, well, we lived to write another day.

Another? Oh, thanks.

Any one you want. You got it?

Apart from the language problem, I can't take the driving.

Are you all right? Okay.

Are you in there? You comfortable? I'm fine.

Are you listening?

Are you ready, Sondra?

Are you romantic by nature?

Are your molecules okay? Is everything feeling good?

Aren't you a journalist? Yeah?

As adding some excitement to your life?

Astrology and crystals and Tarot. Mmm hmm.

At first I managed to hide my identity from her,

At first I thought he was one of your stooges.

At the Lyman estate.

Back home, my topiary moose

Banks is a delusional paranoid who's given Scotland Yard

Be careful.

Because he suspected that she was learning the truth.

Because he'd have no choice but to sue you and the newspaper,

Because I was on the verge of confirming a terrible suspicion.

Because I'm very, very busy. So, do you mind?

Because it looks terrible on his resume.

Because it, you know, it's on the wrong side, and I...

Because mine's been bothering me all day.

Because the way I first met her

Because they'll take away your driver's license.

Because we have these lovely music gatherings.

Because you're marvelous people, beautiful humans.

Because, after all, you're not actually father and daughter, are you?

Because, you know, my anxiety acts like aerobics.

Because, you know...

Besides, if the story's true,

Big story. Big, big, big scoop.

Bits and scraps are coming together.

Blackmail. I see it all over.

Blue horses. No, no, no.

But Daddy's partner's a member and members are allowed to bring guests.

But don't try and bring it through customs.

But first let me continue my tedious professorial lecture.

But first you have to get the story right!

But he's just... He's got a part missing, you know, he's crazy!

But he's not wrong.

But Henry Banks is the Tarot Card Serial Killer.

But her fingers were just too stubby. So...

But here, you know... That's the one drawback of living in London.

But I don't think that she deserved to die.

But I have a number of... Well, actually quite a large musical collection.

But I just put that in my bag.

But I like what I know.

But I raised my hand and she would not call on me.

But I saw her too many times over the years

But I snuck in. Oh, dear, it was going to be a surprise.

But I think we're both still young enough to enjoy the gifts.

But I'm putting two and two together here.

But it did involve us getting out wearing burkas.

But let me give you a lesson in professional journalism.

But more women will be murdered until he is stopped.

But Mr. Lyman is the only person to have the combination to that room.

But not to worry.

But Peter Lyman? My God.

But she looked like Sitting Bull.

But then he told me his name was Joe Strombel,

But there was this one rich kid that she saw a lot.

But we don't know what his house looks like. I want to get a look at that.

But we lend them out. They need to be played.

But we'll celebrate when I get back, all right? Okay.

But what about the story you're writing on him? What is that all about?

But what you have done is let your imagination run wild.

But whether she used to entertain her clients here, or not, I couldn't say.

But with stick to it iveness and perseverance,

But without me.

But you know, you're a very attractive, sexy girl.

But you said if I was in London visiting, then you would, you know,

But you will when they bring out the prawns in hydrochloric acid.

But, what with my oil wells, you know, I never get around to it.

But, when I got older, I converted to narcissism.

But, you know,

But, you know, land is so difficult to come by now, especially outdoors.

But...

By God, we'll get caught and God knows.

By real, you mean what?

By the way, is Peter Lyman here, by any chance?

Calm down, calm down. It was... It was...

Can I ask you a question?

Can I confess something?

Can I say one thing? Can I just tell you one thing?

Can we go home, please?

Can you hear me, Wendy? You feel the molecules evaporating?

Can you stay the night, please? What?

Carefully. Listen to me, hmm? Write this down. This is a big story.

Christ, you amaze me sometimes. Your brain!

Close. Yeah?

Come here. Do you have to put them on?

Come on out, Sondra. Come on out, sweetheart. Come on out, sweetheart.

Come on, Dad.

Come on, open it.

Come on, sweetheart. And if I were you,

Come on, sweetheart. Chop, chop. You're gonna be late.

Come on!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. No, I can't.

Come. I have a couple of treasures.

Could I live in London? No.

Could it be the Tarot Killer? They found a Tarot card. It's him.

Could you ever live in London?

Curtsey, curtsey, curtsey, curtsey, curtsey, curtsey, I've never met a Lord before.

Dad, I need to talk to you right now.

Dad?

Dad? Hmm?

Darling, he lied to you, too, so it's even.

Darling, I love you. I mean that sincerely.

Darling, I'm a little late.

Darling, no, no, no, never mind, never mind. What a shame.

Dental hygienist!

Did he? Yeah, he was a bloody good one.

Did they do an autopsy?

Did you hear that?

Did you inform the police, or was that too sticky?

Did you say Betty Gibson?

Did you see All the President's Men? I was the short guy.

Did you see Miss Spence?

Did you tell her?

Difficult? How?

Do everybody a favor. Go back to your card tricks, all right?

Do me a favor, put two and two together someplace else,

Do we have time for a card trick? Yes.

Do you do a lot of entertaining?

Do you have a family?

Do you have the combination?

Do you know anything about Tarot cards?

Do you mean my religion? Yeah, your persuasion.

Do you mind if I bring my father?

Do you mind? Okay, okay, but we got to be real quick.

Do you need a drink, Mr. Spence? No, I'm fine, thank you.

Do you play an instrument, either of you?

Do you remember this? Do you remember this little item? This clue?

Do you remember when we were out on the estate,

Does this mean anything to you?

Don't ask me what kind of crazy misinformation we received

Don't be silly. Particularly if he's got a twisted mind.

Don't blow it.

Don't call me that, all right?

Don't mourn for Joe Strombel.

Don't think of being dead as a handicap.

Don't tickle me.

Dramatic fiend. I love it.

Drown.

Elizabeth Gibson, another short haired brunette.

Especially about Lord Lyman's son.

Even a great reporter can be wrong.

Ever had your molecules broken up? No, no, I've haven't.

Every paper in town is going to press with it as we speak.

Every time I drive a car here,

Everyone called her Betty. That was her name.

Everyone loved him. Yeah.

Except with Diana. They always remained good friends.

Excuse me. I'll...

Fantastic. I love you, Wendy. I really do.

Fascinating observation.

Father, Stephen Lyman, this is... These are my friends from America

Fine, it's her birthday.

Fine.

Flamboyant theories that tarnish a man, and a well known figure at that,

Follow? What do you want to follow him for?

For exactly what you'd be right for.

For some reason, it's gone out of my mind.

For the astonishing magic

For wells.

For what?

From the bottom of my heart, I say this with all due respect.

From the grave, if necessary.

From the rest of the world and... Hmm.

Game woman, Hillary. Suffragette, I believe. Yeah. Diphtheria took her.

Get a cramp, go in the water, flounder around,

Get in the box, sweetheart, and don't be scared.

Get in the box. Get in the box, Sondra. Go ahead.

Get into the box. Get into the dematerializer.

Get off me! Come...

Get off me! Get off me!

Get out of my life!

Go ahead, sweetheart. Take it. You got it? Mmm hmm.

Go ahead, sweetheart. That's a great idea.

Go ahead, take any card you want.

Go ahead. Go back to your seat.

Go ahead. She's great. Let's hear it for her. She's great. Go ahead.

Go down the stairs, open the music room door. I'll keep Peter busy.

God bless you, sir. I'm going to show you a little thing.

God bless you, sweetheart. I'm from Brooklyn, too.

God bless you, sweetheart. What is your sign? I'm an Aquarian.

God knows why.

God, I mean, the thing I hate most in the world is lying.

God, it's you!

God, no. No.

Good to see you. Have a nice time. Nice to meet you.

Good. Here, allow me.

Gosh.

Got to go. Got to go.

Granted, the theater's better, there's many good Indian restaurants.

Happy birthday.

Hard to believe, but if he did turn out to be the Tarot Killer,

Have you completely lost your mind? What is wrong with you?

Have you ever been dematerialized before?

Have you ever had an experience

Have you just become a member?

He asked me if I believed in love at first sight.

He asked me to go dancing next week.

He buys a Tarot deck and let's say he hides it.

He could just kill at any moment!

He doesn't give answers. Tried it.

He gave me the combination to a safe.

He got a phone call and had to leave suddenly for Thailand.

He got the story before he died,

He said you were a journalism student.

He said, "Get it first, but first get it right."

He wants to get rid of Elizabeth Gibson. Betty Gibson. Betty Gibson.

He would certainly have pursued it himself,

He'd lost the other.

He'll be obliged to save you that way.

He'll tell someone.

He's a charming genius.

He's a magician called Splendini.

He's a respected millionaire. You can't accuse anyone,

He's an aristocrat, and, you know, we're commoners.

He's led the police to two additional bodies

Hello? Hello, this is Mr. Spence.

Hello. How are you? Welcome, Mr. Spence and Jade.

Help!

Help!

Help! A woman's been strangled! Help, call the police!

Help! Someone help me!

Henry Banks confessed to all the murders.

Henry Banks is deranged! He hallucinates!

Henry Banks, you know...

Henry... And you know those guys like to brag when they get caught.

Her mother and I took her to many specialists, you know.

Here it is. This is so great for me.

Here we are.

Here we are. You all right? Thank you.

Hey, come, child.

Hey, did you know he started as a police reporter?

Hey, don't touch anything.

Hey, hey, are you crying? No, I'm too tough to cry.

Hey, I love your aftershave. What is it? It's Yardley.

Hey, Mandelbaum! From the school newspaper, am I right?

Hey, she is onto something!

Hey, Sidney, that's got to be him.

Hey, sweetheart, excitement in my life

Hey, what time did you say Peter arrived at the poker game last night?

Hey, why don't you think about this

Hey, you know the old dirty joke

Hey.

Hey. What do I care about Joe Strombel?

Hi, Sidney.

Hi. Nice to see you.

Hi. VIVIAN: Guess what?

Hi. We're guests of the Fultons.

His lies pale in comparison to the enormity of what I've done.

His mother, Lady Eleanor, has short cut, brunette hair.

Hmm, he's very handsome.

Hmm? Oh.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm. So, how's that for a start?

Hmm. You?

Honey, there's something I wanted to ask you about. Absolutely.

How are you? Hello.

How can I help you?

How can we meet him?

How can we meet him?

How can we see what we're dealing with here?

How did we get on to this morbid subject?

How did you die?

How do you know about that?

How do you know he doodled it? How do you know this is his?

How exciting!

How was the sex? Give me all the details.

Huh? Let's just...

Hypothetically, he hides it, let's say, in a music room.

I always get a sincere sensation,

I assume you're aware of that case?

I assume your name is Jade Spence?

I believe I was poisoned

I believe we have eternity.

I bought them for you. They're Victorian Tarot cards.

I came as a harlequin. She dressed as Petunia Pig.

I can do a whole meal, just nothing but bread.

I can't believe it! She lives in this building.

I can't get it because the other jacket's in the cleaners.

I can't keep obsessing over tantalizing conspiracy theories.

I can't tell you. It's really...

I can't wait to tell the chaps at the club.

I could have nailed her, you know,

I could have strangled you if you didn't shut up!

I could use a drink.

I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't get used to driving on the goddamn wrong side of the street!

I couldn't sleep,

I did. I told her.

I didn't know her. I hardly ever saw her come and go. She was quiet.

I didn't know what to do, so I phoned my lawyer

I didn't say I wouldn't help you.

I didn't see any safe.

I didn't. Because you have kids, what is it?

I died suddenly.

I do coin tricks and card tricks.

I do hope you're enjoying yourself.

I do occasional bar mitzvahs and kids' parties.

I do. Yes, I play the...

I don't buy it.

I don't know what you've been smoking,

I don't know where they get these people,

I don't know, it's just...

I don't know, Sidney. I'm improvising.

I don't know, whatever he's doing, he must want it to be secret.

I don't like the whole process.

I don't like to put my finger on my eyeball.

I don't really have much of an appetite.

I don't think I'll be seeing you anymore.

I don't understand. What? What's to understand?

I don't want to get sued or deported

I don't want to talk about Joe Strombel, all right?

I don't work with stooges, you know, because you gotta pay them health benefits.

I feel disgusting, all right, it's awful.

I find that if...

I finished my tea and scones and came immediately.

I first used it when I was 16 and never changed. I'm a very loyal soul.

I found a clue, you thought I was nuts?

I get sad around birthdays.

I got a feeling in my gut about this.

I got to let my feelings subside

I got trapped with Joe once in Afghanistan.

I had a wife, but she dumped me, if you can believe that.

I hardly think so. She's practically royalty.

I have a confession to make. Oh, God, so do I.

I have a mnemonic system. I remember everything.

I have a wonderful cellar myself.

I have to ask you something. Yes, anything. Absolutely.

I have very high respect for teeth and gums, particularly gums.

I haven't been swimming in so long.

I heard that part. That's when I knew I was gonna make other plans.

I hope... I say this with all due respect.

I just couldn't get a clear picture of him on the Internet, so...

I just don't like this whole thing!

I just got to get in that room.

I just have to go out of town for a few days.

I just love an American accent,

I just want to get it off my chest.

I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, I mean this sincerely...

I just was snooping with...

I kid you not.

I knew Joe Strombel well.

I knew that it couldn't possibly be true.

I knew what she did for a living.

I knew you'd appreciate it when you said you were a reporter.

I know I'm right.

I know this puts a crimp in your scoop,

I know. I understand. ...and he's innocent and we can't make the story...

I know. You know? How?

I lied to him, over and over.

I lied to him. I'm not Jade Spence.

I like to dance and visit museums

I love this woman from the bottom of my heart. I mean that sincerely.

I love you and I feel that coming back from you.

I love you, sweetheart. That's fantastic.

I mean if it pans out, it'll be fantastic.

I mean that sincerely. God bless you.

I mean, all of a sudden you're ready to dump the whole story.

I mean, I know how busy film directors get and all.

I mean, I won't say, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

I mean, if I'd used my feminine wiles

I mean, in my own defense, there really was no other way out.

I mean, look, if we blow the whistle on this guy...

I mean, my whole life and career

I mean, our vibes must have kind of meshed together and...

I mean, she knew millions of men, didn't she? She was very sexy.

I mean, that's no excuse, really.

I mean, those are the vibrations I've been concentrating on.

I mean, unless she was keeping it from me.

I mean, we got to strike! You know this guy's a serial killer.

I mean, what are you gonna learn by looking at him?

I mean, what if he gets suspicious, or, you know,

I mean, what kind of a reporter am I?

I mean, what, he was late for a poker game?

I mean, you've got a huge following in Rochester.

I must find out what breakfast cereal he eats.

I need a grown up volunteer.

I notice you didn't get the red sweater.

I only hope Peter forgives me for what I've done.

I play a few pieces myself on the violin. Prokofiev and Bartok, the Hot Canary...

I ran into someone today who said that Peter Lyman

I realize as a student how exciting it must have been

I really can't. Oh, why not?

I really should go.

I rehearsed my plan, and, well, you know the rest.

I remember. I got a mnemonic system that I use.

I rescued her from drowning in our club pool.

I say this with all due respect, but... I...

I say this with all due respect.

I say this with all sincerity from the bottom of my heart.

I sensed you were falling in love. I escaped again.

I should be flossing molars for a living.

I should be home, working on my magic.

I stole it out of his overnight bag.

I think he likes that or something.

I think he's got a real future in politics.

I think I have your letter, actually.

I think I was poisoned.

I think it's one of the funniest, craziest things I've ever heard in my life.

I think it's time to celebrate with some champagne.

I think of, like, 50 ashtrays dancing on a desert island in hula skirts or something

I think you'll like what's downstairs.

I thought I heard something. Oh, come on, come on. Let's get out of here.

I thought I saw her going downstairs. Downstairs, right.

I thought I was gonna turn out to be one of those skeletons

I thought that... It's plywood. I built it.

I thought you were nuts so many times I can't recall the exact one.

I thought you'd like it here.

I told him we had nothing in common.

I told them it was a hobby. The hobby of a rich merchant.

I told you the photos weren't clear.

I understand, sir. Red. Yes, yes.

I use images, it's a trick. Uh huh, yeah.

I used to play the violin, very, very badly.

I want to be the one to break it.

I want to tell you how catastrophic for everybody involved

I want you to stay. I make a mean scrambled egg.

I want you to think of a card. Just think of one of those cards.

I wanted to.

I was at dinner, and... With your father?

I was faking it at the pool to get your attention.

I was going to become a dental hygienist like my sister, Beverly.

I was in the lounge. I heard you drowning.

I was lying.

I was so paranoid. I... It's crazy.

I was telling you about. Oh, Lord Lyman.

I was wondering if we could just ask you a couple of questions.

I will play poker this weekend.

I wish I could do it every night!

I wish you'd fade for good!

I would have...

I would love it if you could teach me how to fly fish. That would be great.

I would never let my personal feelings get involved, all right?

I would not say anything if I were you 'cause they'll put you away.

I would not tell this episode to anyone else,

I wouldn't be surprised if he asked me to marry him one day, you know?

I wrote to you about getting an interview for the school newspaper.

I... Do you want me to clash with him?

I... Oh, I guess I'll have to buy a dress.

I'd be very happy to be your date and show you around.

I'd be very surprised if he even killed one person.

I'd better get ready. I still haven't found my millionaire yet.

I'd find a way to get the facts

I'd get an exclusive with Michael Tinsley!

I'd like to talk to these people in their own terms.

I'll be right back. I'm just gonna use the bathroom.

I'll come to that.

I'll do the jokes, Sondra.

I'll do this on my own. I don't need you. Go back to your card tricks.

I'll go get coffee.

I'll just feel foolish for thinking he lied.

I'll look for your byline. Sidney!

I'll make it very worth your while, you know and...

I'll meet you down there in a minute. You brought the combination, right?

I'll never forget you.

I'll see if I can find it.

I'll take that as a compliment.

I'll take you for a magnificent dinner.

I'll talk to you when I get back.

I'll tell you what I did see.

I'll think about you whenever I wear it.

I'm a Christian. What are you? Yes, are you?

I'm a journalism student.

I'm a journalist at Adair. I know you may have been aiming a little bit higher,

I'm a journalist, he's a journalist.

I'm a pushy, duplicitous, ambitious college student.

I'm a reporter.

I'm a student.

I'm about to become your favorite person. Why?

I'm beginning to fade.

I'm beginning to lose patience, Sondra.

I'm convinced I'm going to die in a crash.

I'm doing a story on Elizabeth Gibson, and I know she lived here.

I'm embarrassed to say that I do.

I'm from Brooklyn. Incredible!

I'm going to agitate the molecules now. Miss Sondra Mandelbaum.

I'm going to show you a little trick now.

I'm going to start agitating your molecules.

I'm gonna have my new secretary

I'm gonna need a volunteer.

I'm gonna say, "I got this information from a dead guy"?

I'm here visiting friends in Holland Park.

I'm Joe Strombel, reporter, and I have the scoop of the decade

I'm just going to agitate some of your molecules and split them apart.

I'm just very sorry for the extreme secrecy.

I'm late for dinner. You want to come in and eat something? No.

I'm looking to move into more serious pieces.

I'm not a very good swimmer.

I'm not cut out for this.

I'm not really sure.

I'm not saying the guy did all the murders.

I'm one of the top reporters on the...

I'm Peter Lyman, by the way. Hi, Son...

I'm saying that he just did Elizabeth Gibson,

I'm so sorry, sir.

I'm sorry, I'm in oil! I'm in oil.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure Daddy can arrange it. When do you want to go?

I'm sure he's smart enough to have an alibi.

I'm sure. You know, not everything in this world is sinister.

I'm telling you, we're on a wild goose chase. Believe me.

I'm telling you. We need clues, we need a lead. We gotta start someplace.

I'm tired, I'm bored, I'm hungry, I'm going home. God love you.

I'm trying to cement the fact that I'm your father!

I'm very big on the Philharmonic.

I'm Wendy Beamish.

I'm... Well, I was personal secretary to Peter Lyman.

I've put some fresh towels in your bedroom, Sondra.

I've taken some salmon, you know. Organic.

If he gets put off, or...

If he'd had a tip that he considered reliable,

If he's smitten with anyone, it's Jade Spence.

If I ate that much bread, I'd be 20 pounds heavier.

If I could pick up her red cashmere sweater. She thinks she left it upstairs.

If so, that he's murdered a dozen women. Short haired, brunette prostitutes.

If there's any comments, anything you know about her that I...

If we put our heads together, you'll hear a hollow noise.

If you act prematurely, not only does he walk,

If you do something to me, Sidney's gonna find out!

If you know any good Chinese restaurants...

If you're asking me, did he have time to strangle somebody

If you're going to interview movers and shakers in their hotel rooms,

If you're not busy,

In a French horn! I'm losing patience with you.

In case something happened,

In fact, according to his system, I think we're probably classified as scum.

In fact, it was a present from Henry Moore to my father.

In the box. Go ahead. Get in the box. Get in the box. Hurry up.

In the new Mike Tinsley film.

Incidentally, I accept your invitation.

Information that only the killer could possibly know.

Is about to merge with a company in the Middle East.

Is dinner without heartburn after it.

Is everything okay?

Is it your first time on stage? Yes. Yes.

Is Sidney okay? Yes, yes.

Is starting to look a little shabby around the antlers.

Is this your first time on stage? Yes.

It didn't matter how high up the political scandal went,

It didn't matter if the bombs in the war zone were falling.

It gets very cold there.

It was a handyman named Henry Banks who has confessed.

It was almost too extravagant.

It was always decided one day I would enter politics.

It was awful.

It was marked down.

It was the six of hearts. Six of hearts.

It was...

It would be fatally irresponsible and libelous.

It would have been if you had, say, taken

It's 10. Ten spinning midgets.

It's 21 jet planes.

It's a beautifully written story

It's a clue! It's not a clue.

It's a doodle. He doodled it!

It's a family trait. Lack of buoyancy, or... Her siblings have it as well.

It's a little metal thing you put in your mouth

It's a little stuffy for my taste, but... Oh.

It's a very good idea.

It's a very sensitive situation,

It's amazing!

It's awful. Please come right away.

It's become a problem.

It's been in the family for years. About 400 years.

It's elegant, yet understated. I like that.

It's fantastic, Sondra.

It's fantastic. Thank you. Thank you.

It's gonna be very painless. And I'm gonna put you back together again.

It's got everything. Big names, murder, prostitution.

It's him again. They found the Tarot card.

It's just circumstantial junk, you know. A coincidence here and there.

It's lovely. Mmm hmm.

It's not against the law to own a Tarot deck, or keep it wherever you like.

It's not gonna hurt. I just ate. Is this gonna make me...

It's not right.

It's not?

It's okay. There you go.

It's Peter.

It's Roman, in fact. Second century A.D.

It's so nice to be out here with you, just away

It's Sondra Pransky here.

It's starting to add up against him.

It's starting to rain.

It's this posh, private club,

It's too upsetting for me, all right?

It's your own secret information. That's fine.

It's... But I'm sure you've been told that.

It's... You take after your father. Mmm hmm. Great.

Jade Julliard Spence.

Jade Spence, Mr. Spence.

Jade Spence.

Jade, can I ask you something? Mmm hmm.

Jade, it's 4:00 A.M.

Jade, there's nothing you can tell me that...

Jade?

Jade?

Jade.

Jade... Jade, who?

Jane Cook.

Jerry! It's Jerry Burke, Louis' chiropractor.

Jesus, this guy must be some lover, you know.

Joe Strombel led a full life.

Joe Strombel would not agree with you.

Joe Strombel. Coronary thrombosis.

Joe went after it. And he usually got it.
