Ali Marsh: Alison Rothman

Quotes 

• Charlie : Run that by me again.

  Jason : So, he makes bail, he comes home and he tell her he's gonna leave her for another woman. She threatens to testify against him and ruin his life. They have a drag-out fight and this time, he kills her.

  Claudia : So what do you think?

  Charlie : Aside from no body, no witnesses, no evidence whatsoever that a crime was committed... as crackpot theories go, very plausible.

  Jason : Are you cynical, Charlie, or just apathetic?

  Charlie : Did you see this murder?

  Jason : I heard it.

  Charlie : You heard them fighting, which married couples do from time to time.

  Jason : I heard her scream and then I heard him banging and sawing away all night in his studio.

  Charlie : Residential zoning violation and not very neighborly, but hardly a capital crime.

  Jason : He was covering up a murder!

  Charlie : Look, I hate to be cynical, but you're lying in bed, you can't sleep, you're looking at the ceiling, you start to imagine things.

  Jason : I didn't imagine this.

  Charlie : Alison, did you hear a scream?

  Alison : Well, I was downstairs.

  Jason : Alison, are you telling me you didn't hear Mrs. Thorpe scream?

  Alison : No, I didn't. I'm sorry. I might have been in the laundry room. I have a monitor in there so I can hear Jason, but I can't really hear anything from outside.

  Charlie : All right, no corroboration on the blood-curdling scream. Yet... I'll canvas the neighbors.

  Jason : [flatly]  Great.

  Charlie : [looking at the camera]  Too bad that wasn't going last night. We could have gone to the videotape.

  [to Jason] 

  Charlie : You mind me asking, what kind of medication are you on?

  Jason : You name it...

  Charlie : Alison, help me out here. He on anything which would affect his judgment or perception?

  Alison : Sleeping pills and valium.
