- Paul Ashley: I'm worried about you, Diana. Patricia would love to see you go over for my uncle's murder.
- Diana Burns: You think she killed him?
- Paul Ashley: That's a fine question coming from you. How could Patricia have killed him when you did? You're the principal heir, you know.
- Diana Burns: I see. You're trying to blackmail me.
- Paul Ashley: Don't be ridiculous, I'm trying to help. You know, you're very attractive, Diana, and in spite of your late husband's bad luck, I'd be willing to take a chance and marry you myself. That's the price for my help.
- Diana Burns: Your help in what?
- Paul Ashley: Keeping you out of jail and Jimmy Trotter in.
