of memories yes Connie I know but to the best of your knowledge whatever the best of my knowledge I turned it off of that and that's my story and I'm stuck with it I'm sticking to it let's hope check

there anything else missing well no no I always keep a little extra cash in case I want to go to the supermarket but everything seems to be here oh my god well no look a set the last chapter of my book with a murder plot my garage is on the same tape with Sheila and Mark in the car absolutely supreme darling well done well for once i prescribed a drink or two you know I know scoff at the theater last night or woke up at the intermission nobody in our party was there including my personal physician 17 minutes by my watch not you could have easily come back here set the trap and got back in time for the curtain just where were you I went to the gentlemen's room done 17 minutes no no the line is so long I had to go to the pub across the room anybody see you just the gentlemen in the sole next to me we only had a nodding acquaintance haha there you are you see no alibi you could have just as easily done it as me this is one difference darling I didn't put my murder on tape what are you getting at Tony I'm trying to protect your darling I want a believable alibi for check out Charlie tomorrow well then find out who stole a cassette whoever did that killed Sheila Lawrence I've been meaning to ask you dear where were you during the intermission last night just why do you want to know come Alec the DA coming tomorrow you'll need a good story and you think of one you're the expert you ought to know that a man as weak as an couldn't commit murder you'd have to do it for me you know we now have several possibilities Larry Rashi you and of course me you've left anyone out mark you came in at just the right moment would you take the witness stand please I've had enough MA if you don't mind my asking where were you during the intermission last night I'm afraid I have the perfect alibi Sheila told me how you tried to blackmail her so we decided to steal the cassette you parked the rolls in the garage and at the house broke open the drawer took the cassette returned to the garage and as we started the motor the garage doors came slamming down we couldn't shut off the ignition in a matter of minutes choking and gasping we were both very young losing bad you listen

knock me off just now I wanted to make it look that way of cure well to be more specific and incinerate me here we go he's loaded again but I really know who would want to marry you well when a stranger with a mass sneaks in and sprinkles brandy all over you and sets you aflame you have a certain feeling of rejection now let's get down to brass tacks whoever tried to kill me just now as I

not giving him way what was that all about the force Marc's hand once he thought I was giving everything away tomorrow he had to kill me tonight and you could have been burned to death not exactly sir I could have been burned to death but in such a noble cause another fool we have a saying the incomparable is the incomprehensible made irreplaceable by the inscrutable you know I'm seriously thinking of settling in Roger poor that's mighty nice of you doctor you do realize that we're all accessories and letting a murderer escape Oh Lawrence darling you don't want to drag the family name through the media mud do you Oh think what 60 minutes would do with a story like this yeah you're right as usual about that other matter well my checkbook doesn't open until 8 a.m. but I'll see you in the morning and they were gonna put her away you know for that and darling I really do owe you an apology that purple shoe business certainly dropped Martin it was brilliant wasn't it oh yeah ha ha unfortunately ma did not kill Sheila uh who done it I'll show you hmm what do you think you're doing uniform you're walking how long have you been doing that every now and again when the spirit moves me but I haven't seen why all that wheelchair stuff well I like the image of the helpless old woman everybody dancing attendance and kissing her behind I can see you're not gonna wait for the paperback to come out so this is how it happened I was sitting it in the back of the theater in my chair when bill said to me Annie don't be a fool you know she's got to go so I wheeled my chair out of the theater down to the parking lot and I found Pam's bike I got on it ruled back here set the trap got back on my bike I'm returned to the theater just in time for the intermission that's exactly how you did it isn't it da how long have you known you know a man for 40 years and you're suddenly discovering and ride a bicycle how do you God's name did you find out go tiny little things choice of words remember when you said to me Annie but I never put my murder on take my murder surely that wasn't enough Oh wear your trousers trousers when you return from the intermission I noticed that your right cuff on your trouser was turned up to the very strange oversight for a man of your sartorial elegance so I dropped by your cottage and found the trousers with the grease from Pam's bark on them and this I know you did it for Pam and me doc Alice murders go it was terribly sweet my darling when your love a woman for more than 40 years nothing but too far oh you idiot next time leap practicality is to me tell me just for the record all those times when you were going round the bend was that was that for real or were you putting us on oh you mean bill bill worked every time no you really are incorrigible oh hell I don't know too many memories I might as well get rid of this house you're practically on a plane to France and what's left for me a couple of hundred snipped as a brandy booked a play The Late Late Show and a hell of a lot of loneliness my darling would you do me the inestimable honor of allowing me to stay if you promise me not to be so goddamn slow come on
