Quotes
-
[Ken is horrified to hear that Sandy has let Barbara go]
Sandy : Kenny, she really, truly loves us now! She can be trusted, she's changed!
Ken Kessler : Changed? What did you do, perform an exorcism?
Sandy : Kenny, she lost nearly twenty pounds!
[He stares at her, uncomprehending]
Sandy : Well, you should have been here. It was a very special moment.
[Suddenly someone pounds on the front door. Both Ken and Sandy look at each other with dread]
Ken Kessler : I'm surprised they knocked.
[while Sandy bolts for the back door, Ken opens the front door to a police officer with a "Wanted" flyer]
Cop with Killer Picture : Good afternoon. I was wondering if you've seen this man. He was sighted in the area a few weeks ago, and again earlier today. He's psychotic, extremely dangerous, and extremely violent. He's killed half a dozen people...
Sandy : [off-screen, panicked after seeing the cop at the door] Oh no, oh no... I've gotta get out of here!
Ken Kessler : [forcing a smile] My wife... she's late for work.
[glances at the flyer]
Ken Kessler : Doesn't look familiar.
Cop with Killer Picture : [gives him the flyer] Well, keep this and give us a call at that number if you do see him. And under no conditions should you try to subdue him yourself. Like I said, he's extremely violent.
Ken Kessler : He looks it. Thank you very much, Officer!
[the officer smiles and leaves. Ken waits until he is out of sight, then bolts for the back yard, where Sandy is trying to climb over the fence]
Ken Kessler : [whispering] Sandy! It's okay, it's okay! They're looking for somebody else.
