Alan Palmer
- Alan Palmer: This money's like poison, it's changing you, it's changing me.
- Jane Palmer: I wish it were that easy, I've always been this way.
- Alan Palmer: What is it, Jane? I just don't understand you! I've tried to give you everything you wanted, everything I could.
- Jane Palmer: Yes, you've given me a dozen down payments and installments for the rest of our lives.
- Alan Palmer: Stop it, Jane! If we don't report this, it's a felony. It's the same as stealing. It's a blind alley with a big barred gate at the end!
- Alan Palmer: Jane, Jane, what's happening to us? The money sits down there in an old leather bag, and yet it's tearing us apart. It's poison, Jane. It's changing you. It's changing both of us.
- Jane Palmer: I wish it were that simple, Allan, but I haven't changed. It's the way I am. You've got to let me keep that money.
- Alan Palmer: Don't, don't, Jane.
- Jane Palmer: No, Allan, I won't let you just give it away. Chances like this are never offered twice. This is it. I've been waiting for it, dreaming of it all my life - even when I was a kid. And it wasn't because we were poor, not hungry poor at least. I suppose, in a way, it was far worse. We were white collar poor, middle-class poor. The kind of people who can't quite keep up with the Joneses and die a little every day because they can't.
- Jane Palmer: Hasn't it hit you yet, Alan? The money was literally thrown in our laps. No one in the world knows we have it!
- Alan Palmer: Get ahold of yourself, Jane, will ya'? It's a bag of dynamite. That was a payoff - probably blackmail.
- Alan Palmer: How much have you spent?
- Jane Palmer: $790, less than one tenth of one percent of all our money.
