Wait Until Dark (1982 TV Movie)

Katharine Ross: Suzy Hendrix

Quotes 

• Roat : Oh, Suzy! You don't have to be ashamed. Everybody's frightened of something, I... ooooooo! I have gasoline here! Gasoline. Hmm? Gasoline. This place will go up like a matchbox! The big question, Suzy, is do you want to be outside in the street? Or locked in there with Mike? It's up to you. So, will you give it to me now?

  Suzy Hendrix : No.

  Roat : 'I won't give it to you'. 'I don't know!'. 'I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I don't know I don't know'. THEN, as it always happens, finally something seemed to snap. Ohhh, yes. And she told me everything she knew. As it turns out, she didn't know where it was, but... she told me everything she could! At last, she wanted to tell me, but, like her, you won't stop at that, will you, Suzy? Hmmm? No! After I'd finished 'questioning' her, she went on, and she told me other things. Little, useful things that just might come in handy, hmm? And then she told me OTHER things. Things I didn't even want to know. Little, intimate things about herself, and Mike, and Carlino... and I said 'Now that's enough, Suzy. That's enough I don't want to know any more' but she went ON AND ON AND ON AND ON... and then finally, she was dead. Now, I'm not going to ask you for it again, Suzy, so when you want to give it to me, you have to tell me. Will you go in there, hmm? Shall I HELP you, Suzy...

• Suzy Hendrix : I won't give it to you.

  Roat : "I won't give it to you"? "I won't give it to you." You remind me of somebody else who said that! Only she said..."I don't know where it is! I don't know! I don't KNOW I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW!"

• Roat : Now... what was it you wanted to say to me?

  Suzy Hendrix : I'll give you the doll. If you'll just go and leave us alone.

  Roat : You have to say 'Please may I give you the doll'.

  Suzy Hendrix : PLEASE may I give you the doll?

  Roat : You may!

• Suzy Hendrix : [Suzy is trying to make her apartment completely dark]  Can you see me moving?

  Gloria : Yes, just.

  Suzy Hendrix : There must be a light coming from somewhere, where is it coming from?

  Gloria : From under the door at the top of the stairs.

  Suzy Hendrix : Hell! OK, wait, There's a broom in the spare closet. Go out in the hall and smash every light you can see, just go until you can't see anything.

  Gloria : WILL DO, ha ha...

  [she does] 

  Gloria : All out!

  Suzy Hendrix : Close the door. Now, can you see anything?

  Gloria : Nothing at all.

  Suzy Hendrix : All dark?

  Gloria : Yes.

  Suzy Hendrix : Good! OK, off you go then, know what to do?

  Gloria : Asbury Park, and tell Sam everything!

  Suzy Hendrix : Lock this door, check that the street door is locked, then go out the back way and run until you find a taxi!

  Gloria : Bye, Suzy...

  Suzy Hendrix : Gloria? I don't know anyone who could do this as well as you.

  Gloria : Oh boy, I wish a thing like this would happen every day, HA HA!
