Tommy : I never even scratched her. We're a cinch. In a couple of hours, the bridge over the reservoir will be deserted. Now look...
Willard Gates : Don't tell me! I don't what to know anything about it.
Tommy : This is a work of art. The ropes come off. I tie sash weights to her ankles with soft catgut.
