Movie Wait Until Dark
Year 1967
Roat: Did you know they wanted to kill me? I did. I knew even before they did. They were awful amateurs, and that's why you saw through them.
Susy Hendrix: I saw through you too.
Roat: No, not all the way, Suzy. Even now, not all the way. The lovely thing was the way I let them set it all up. All that silliness of meeting in the parking lot, the whole thing, they had comic book minds. So, I let them do it their way, right up to the very end. And then, topsy-turvy. Me topsy and them turvy.
Mike Talman: Damn it, you act as if you're in kindergarten! This is the big bad world, full of mean people, where nasty things happen!
Susy Hendrix: Now you tell me.
Roat: I cannot negotiate in an atmosphere of mistrust.
Susy Hendrix: Bye, dope.
Sam Hendrix: Bye, dope.
Susy Hendrix: Mr. Roat, are you looking at me?
Susy Hendrix: Sam, are you looking at me?
Sam Hendrix: Yes.
[Susy sticks her tongue out at him]
Susy Hendrix: Sam, are you there?
[pause]
Susy Hendrix: No, Susy, I'm not here.
Sam Hendrix: [Susy calls his studio] Hendrix here.
Susy Hendrix: [mocking his tone] Hendrix here too.
Sam Hendrix: Susy, is that you?
Susy Hendrix: No, Batman!
Susy Hendrix: Do I have to be the world champion blind lady?
Sam Hendrix: Yes!
Susy Hendrix: [turns around] Then I will be. I'll be everything you want me to be.
Sam Hendrix: I don't want you to be anything other than Susy.
Susy Hendrix: Gloria, I know you're there!
Carlino: We don't work safes.
Roat: I know. But you talk. And that's why you've been invited to this party. To talk you way into that big black safe, Sergeant.
Mike Talman: There's a locked closet in the bedroom.
Roat: Oh, no, not there. It's just clothes.
Mike Talman: How do you know?
Roat: I looked.
Mike Talman: You have the key?
Roat: It's on the ledge above the door.
Mike Talman: No it isn't.
Roat: Well, they must have taken it with them.
Mike Talman: They lock the closet, but don't bolt the front door?
Roat: They're strange people; they lose dolls.
Mike Talman: And you? What's your favorite toy?
Roat: [pulls out a mini statue] Geraldine.
Carlino: What does she do?
[a large blade comes out horizontally from the feet of the statue]
Mike Talman: And may we have Geraldine on the table too?
Roat: No, we may not.
Carlino: Why the hell not?
Roat: Because she's the referee.
Roat: Aren't you forgetting something?
Mike Talman: We just earned the money?
[Talamn opens the door and begins to walk out]
Roat: I mean fingerprints.
[Talman stops and closes the door]
Roat: You just signed your names all over this place.
Roat: [Carlino begins wiping off finger prints off banister] Hmmm. Even if you could remember eveything you touched it would still take hours to wipe em off wouldn't it? If not days.
Susy Hendrix: [trying to find the refrigerator plug] Where is it? Where is it? OH GOD!
Roat: I'm Harry Roat Jr from Scarsdale.
Roat: Don't touch me!
Roat: I'll fix him!
Gloria: I wanna be gorgeous, guess you can't have everything.
Mike Talman: You want something?
Roat: You, Mr Talman and you too, Sgt Carlino.
Roat: Well, she was trespassing, Mike... going into business for herself. Bad news.
Roat: Once upon a time there was a fairy princess named Lisa.
Lisa: They should make heroin look like something else. Candy bars maybe.
