Quotes 

• Greg : I was going to marry her. We were going to elope the night she died.

  Roger : I don't believe it.

  Sam : Neither do I. Hilla broke it off with you.

  Greg : No, she didn't.

  Sam : On the 4th of July, she told you she loved someone else. You fought and she ended it between you.

  Greg : Who told you that?

  Sam : Hilla... in her diary.

  Greg : No, it wasn't me, not that weekend. I was at a tournament in Boston.

  Lyle : That's right. The kid won. Brought back a real big trophy.

  Greg : Whoever she broke it off with, it wasn't me. We just started dating each other around that time.

• Lyle : What do you want me to do, Melvin, arrest Mr. Truesdale for trying to get Hilla an abortion?

  Sam : No, I want you to arrest him for murder.

  Lyle : I can't do that.

  Sam : Why? Because he bought you that badge?

  Lyle : Nobody owns me, Melvin. Except maybe my wife.

  Sam : Why won't you arrest him?

  Lyle : Because, even if what you're saying it true, which I don't believe for a second it is, the D.A. will never prosecute. All you've got is a possible motive. You've got no weapon, not bullet, no witness. Hell, it'll never get past the grand jury. She committed suicide, Melvin. Now, put the poor girl in the ground... before she puts you there, too.
