Absolute Power

Miss Russell, I should've called the police that night but I was weak. You convinced me to stay silent. I regret that. Know this: every time I see your face, I wanna rip your throat out.

Gloria Russell: Allen, did you have sex with her? Allen Richmond: I... I don't know. Gloria Russell: Bill, I need you to examine her. Bill Burton: I'm no gynecologist. Gloria Russell: I just made you one! Bill Burton: Oh, Christ...

Gloria Russell: He's got the letter opener. Blood. Fingerprints. Jesus... Think what he can do. Bill Burton: The man's a thief. A thief who witnessed a murder.

Allen Richmond: What do we know, so far? Gloria Russell: Well, we've checked his license plates. He stole the car from a police impoundment lot. Allen Richmond: We're not dealing with a fool here, are we? Has he initiated contact? Gloria Russell: Burton doesn't think he will. Allen Richmond: I agree. I apologize for my behavior. It won't happen again. Consider it a blip on the screen. As far as I'm concerned that's all he is, too. Gloria Russell: Well, he could be a little more than that, Allen. He saw. Allen Richmond: He saw nothing. He saw a drunk woman who liked rough sex too much. He's a burglar. Who's gonna believe him? After all, it's not as if he has any evidence or anything.

Medical Examiner: Looks like he tried to strangle her. Seth Frank: He strangled her, then he went to the door to shoot her from behind? Medical Examiner: He also inspected her vagina. Seth Frank: He did what? Why? Laura Simon: Maybe he didn't remember that he did her. Seth Frank: A strong burglar with a weak mind. Obviously another open-and-shut case.

Seth Frank: Why does he bother to dig a slug out of the wall when he knows there's already another one stuck in her head? Laura Simon: Uh, different from the one in her body? Seth Frank: Two guns means two burglars. They broke in together, they both went out the window? That's bullshit! And by the way, why did he, or they, go out the window in the first place when he, or they, got in by breaking a zillion-dollar security system?
