Understanding Feelings of Confinement
Paula Gibson
Maybe you do need this week away alone. Maybe we both do. I know what's going on inside of you, Frank. You're just like any other man, only a little more so. You have a feeling of being trapped, hemmed in, and you don't know whether or not you like it.

Suspicion and Betrayal in Relationships
Frank Bigelow
You're mighty careful about the picture of a man you haven't heard from in months. What does the Ray stand for?
[about Reynolds; about a signature on the photo]
Marla Rakubian
It was a pet name. Do you mind?
Frank Bigelow
It all sounds very cozy, Miss Rakubian. You and Reynolds call each other pet names while you make a sucker out of Philips.
Marla Rakubian
Philips made the deal because he wanted it.
Frank Bigelow
Yeah, I'll bet you weren't above using what it takes to make him want it. Who's paying for this trip?
Marla Rakubian
I am.
Frank Bigelow
Really? A first class trip to Buenos Aires on a model's salary? Don't make me laugh. Since you and Reynolds won't be seeing each other anymore, you don't mind if I keep this, do you?
Marla Rakubian
If I were a man, I'd punch your dirty face in.
Frank Bigelow
You know I really believe you would.

Confronting the Illusion of Life and Death
Frank Bigelow
You knew who I was when I came here today. But you were surprised to see me alive, weren't you? But I'm not alive, Mrs. Philips. Sure, I can stand here and talk to you. I can breathe and I can move. But I'm not alive. Because I did take that poison, and nothing can save me.

The Reality of a Grim Diagnosis
Frank Bigelow
Give it to me straight, doctor!
Dr. MacDonald
Well, a number of things are involved, the systemic condition of the individual, the amount consumed...
Frank Bigelow
Yes?
Dr. MacDonald
You won't feel too badly for a while. Then it will happen suddenly. A day, two days... a week at the most.
Frank Bigelow
A day... Two days...
[in a daze]
Dr. MacDonald
There's nothing that can be done now. If it had been caught in time, your stomach could have been washed out. But you've had it in you for some time now... for at least twelve hours, haven't you, Bigelow?
Frank Bigelow
I don't know.
Dr. MacDonald
You don't know?
[surprised]
Frank Bigelow
No!
Dr. MacDonald
Don't you know how you got it?
Frank Bigelow
No!
Dr. MacDonald
Then this is no accident. Somebody knew how to handle that stuff. That wax is tasteless and odorless, and the amount of alcohol in your body, you must have got it in liquor.
Frank Bigelow
I was drinking last night.
Dr. MacDonald
I'll arrange for your admission to the hospital immediately. Of course, I'll have to notify the police. This is a case for Homicide.
Frank Bigelow
Homicide?
Dr. MacDonald
I don't think you fully understand, Bigelow. You've been murdered.
