"YES OF COURSE IT IS." "IT MUST HAVE FALLEN OFF IN THE ACCIDENT." "THEN HE DID GO OUT WITH A HAT LAST NIGHT." "WELL HE MUST HAVE DONE." "DOCTOR YOU WILL HAVE TO FORGIVE ME." "I'M STILL SO UTTERLY CONFUSED." "IT'S BEEN A GREAT SHOCK FOR YOU" "AND YOU MUSTN'T DISTRESS YOURSELF." "I MUST BE OFF." "I'LL TAKE THAT IF YOU DON'T MIND." "IT'S A VERY INTERESTING DISCOVERY" "WHO KNOW WHAT WE MAY FIND NOW THAT THEY'RE DRAGGING THE TARN." "DRAGGING THE TA...." "WHAT FOR?" "THE INSURANCE COMPANY INSISTS." "BUT THAT'S RIDICULOUS. YOU SEE I FOUND SOMETHING ELSE DOWN THERE." "I COULDN'T GET TO IT." "YOU SEE IT WAS LYING ON SOME SUBMERGED ROCKS." "EXCEPT TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT WAS A BODY." "THE BODY OF A MAN." "YET." "AND NO DOUBT A POST MORTEM." "YOU'LL TELEPHONE ME WON'T YOU?" "AU REVOIR." "GEORGE!" "GEORGE!" "I'M FRIGHTENED." "ARE YOU?" "IT'S POSSIBLE." "I NEVER KNOW ABOUT YOU." "THEY'LL BE UP HERE SOON." "ASKING US QUESTIONS." "YOU." "GEORGE." "GEORGE." "WHAT YOU GOING TO DO?" "I'M LEAVING." "BUT I'M NOT GOING TO." "DON'T YOU?" "I KNOW IT." "YOU TRIED TO KILL ME JUST LIKE YOU KILLED HIM."

"HENDERSON LIED TO ME." "MADE ME BELIEVE YOU SHOT HIM ON PURPOSE." "HENDERSON." "DON'T YOU SEE WHAT HE'S DOING?" "TRYING TO SET US AGAINST EACH OTHER." "THAT MEANS HE'S NOT SURE." "SAFE AS LONG AS WE STAY TOGETHER." "YOU'VE BEEN RIGHT ALL THROUGH." "IF YOU HADN'T TRIED TO GET RID OF ME THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAVE HAPPENED." "ISN'T IT." "TAKE ME WITH YOU." "WE'LL GO AWAY TOGETHER." "ASKING US QUESTIONS." "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!" "SOMETHING WILL OCCUR TO YOU." "IT ALWAYS DOES." "NO GEORGE." "NO GEORGE." "JUST FOR FIVE MINUTES." "TALK TO ME."
