Capt. Lochner:
I didn't expect you to give me more information... but certain facts contradict your original statement. Laurel Gray:
[flatly]
I wish you'd say what you mean. Capt. Lochner:
Yes, let's do that. On the night of the Atkinson murder, you looked at Dixon Steele and said you didn't know him. Laurel Gray:
I didn't. Capt. Lochner:
Since then, you and he have been inseparable. Laurel Gray:
He's writing a script. I'm doing the typing. Capt. Lochner:
Do you receive a salary for this? Laurel Gray:
No. I'm doing it for love. Capt. Lochner:
[surprised]
Are you in love with Mr. Steele? Laurel Gray:
For the record, I am in love with Mr. Steele. Capt. Lochner:
Are you going to be married? Laurel Gray:
[pause]
If we do, I'll send you an invitation - after all, it was you who first introduced us to each other

I didn't expect you to give me
additional information.
00:00:06.637 --> 00:00:10.257
It's just that certain facts seem to
contradict your original statement.
00:00:11.001 --> 00:00:13.794
I wish you'd say what you mean,
Captain Lochner.
00:00:13.894 --> 00:00:15.554
Yes, let's do that.
00:00:16.848 --> 00:00:18.757
On the night of the Atkinson murder,
00:00:18.857 --> 00:00:22.261
you came in here, looked at Dixon Steele
and told us that you didn't know him.
00:00:22.361 --> 00:00:23.804
And I didn't.
00:00:23.904 --> 00:00:27.232
However, since then
you and Mr. Steele have been inseparable.
00:00:27.984 --> 00:00:30.602
He's writing a script.
I'm doing the typing.
00:00:30.702 --> 00:00:34.099
- Do you receive a salary for your work?
- No. I'm doing it for love.
00:00:36.001 --> 00:00:39.082
- You're in love with Mr. Steele?
- For the record, I am in love with Mr. Steele.
00:00:39.092 --> 00:00:42.281
Are you going to be married?
00:00:42.381 --> 00:00:44.992
If we do,
I'll send you an invitation.
00:00:45.999 --> 00:00:47.919
After all, it was you
who introduced us to each other.
00:00:49.999 --> 00:00:51.707
You know, you're not
making my job any easier.
00:00:51.807 --> 00:00:54.002
I don't see how I could.
00:00:54.142 --> 00:00:57.002
Why do you come here
with a chip on your shoulder?
00:00:57.145 --> 00:01:01.842
Why the defiant attitude? Aren't we
on the same side in this matter?
00:01:01.942 --> 00:01:05.512
Doesn't it frighten you
that there's a killer at large?
00:01:05.999 --> 00:01:07.765
He may be in your apartment house
or next door.
00:01:07.999 --> 00:01:09.524
Certainly in your neighborhood.
00:01:13.988 --> 00:01:15.697
Look at these men.
00:01:17.241 --> 00:01:19.367
They seem perfectly normal to you?
00:01:22.705 --> 00:01:24.001
Yes.
00:01:25.994 --> 00:01:27.001
Each one has committed
a horrible murder.
00:01:27.634 --> 00:01:29.669
Each one is a ruthless maniac.
00:01:31.672 --> 00:01:35.334
Mildred Atkinson wasn't killed
for any understandable reason.
00:01:35.434 --> 00:01:38.295
She had no money, no enemies.
00:01:38.395 --> 00:01:40.038
It wasn't a sex murder.
00:01:40.048 --> 00:01:45.143
It was the act of a sick mind with an urge
to destroy something young and lovely.
00:01:46.229 --> 00:01:50.724
I recognize your position, Captain Lochner,
but you must also recognize mine.
00:01:50.824 --> 00:01:52.142
I love Dix.
