C.A. Swan:
[referring to the bribe money Tony is offering him to kill Margot]
You know the police would only have to trace one of these notes back to you to hang us both from the same rope?
Tony Wendice:
They won't. For a whole year I've been cashing an extra twenty pounds a week, always in fivers. I then change them for those at my leisure.
C.A. Swan:
Let me see your bank statement.
Tony Wendice:
By all means. Don't touch.
[Tony opens up his checkbook for Swan, so as not to leave fingerprints]
C.A. Swan:
[as he reads]
Turn back a page.
[Tony complies]
C.A. Swan:
Ah, your balance has dropped by over a thousand pounds during the year. Suppose the police ask you about that?
Tony Wendice:
I go dog-racing twice a week.
C.A. Swan:
They'll check your bookmaker!
Tony Wendice:
Like you, I always bet on the "Tote." Satisfied?
