Susy Hendrix
- Susy Hendrix: Gloria?
- Gloria: Yeah?
- Susy Hendrix: How would you like to do something difficult and terribly dangerous?
- Gloria: I'd love it!
- Susy Hendrix: But I do wish I could do things. You know, important things, like
- [sigh]
- Susy Hendrix: cook a souffle, or pick a necktie, or choose the wallpaper for the bedroom. You know.
- Susy Hendrix: You know there was a murder around here last night? They found the body this morning. A lady from Scarsdale. I heard it on the radio.
- Sam Hendrix: So?
- Susy Hendrix: What if I get chopped in little pieces and dumped in the river? Little tiny pieces that nobody could possibly recognize as having been a poor defenseless, little blind lady whose husband was off in Asbury Park. You're not listening, Sammy.
- Sam Hendrix: Sure I am. Why don't we get some light around here? They're always finding bodies in New York.
- Susy Hendrix: Not in the parking lot practically next door, they don't.
- Sam Hendrix: You're making it up, Susy.
- Susy Hendrix: No, I'm not. I promise. I told you I heard it on the radio. Really, I did.
- Sam Hendrix: Come on Susy.
- Susy Hendrix: [pause] The police don't have the first notion who do it. Pretty spooky, don't you think, Sammy?
- Sam Hendrix: Tell you what I think. I think it's a ploy to make me stay home.
- Susy Hendrix: Well, there was a murdered woman found from Scarsdale and that's a true fact.
- Sam Hendrix: And you're afraid for your life, that's a true fact?
- Susy Hendrix: No, but it was worth a try.
- Susy Hendrix: [sending her on dangerous mission] As soon as your safe, I'll call the police.
- Gloria: Okay. Gee, I wish something like this would happen every day...
- Susy Hendrix: Do I have to be the world champion blind lady?
- Sam Hendrix: Yes!
- Susy Hendrix: [turns around] Then I will be. I'll be everything you want me to be.
- Sam Hendrix: I don't want you to be anything other than Susy.
- Roat: Did you know they wanted to kill me? I did. I knew even before they did. They were awful amateurs, and that's why you saw through them.
- Susy Hendrix: I saw through you too.
- Roat: No, not all the way, Suzy. Even now, not all the way. The lovely thing was the way I let them set it all up. All that silliness of meeting in the parking lot, the whole thing, they had comic book minds. So, I let them do it their way, right up to the very end. And then, topsy-turvy. Me topsy and them turvy.
- Mike Talman: All right, how long have you known? When did you figure it out about me?
- Susy Hendrix: You've been to Sam's studio?
- Mike Talman: Yeah, that's right.
- Susy Hendrix: And there was no doll?
- Mike Talman: More fun still, there wasn't even a desk.
- Susy Hendrix: Poor Sam. He really should have a desk.
- Susy Hendrix: [trembling] All right, all right you can have it... you can have the doll! I'll give it to you... if you'll... if you'll just go and... and...
- Roat: Yes, Susy?
- Susy Hendrix: Not hurt me.
- Roat: Say please.
- Susy Hendrix: Please.
- Roat: No, that's not quite it... say: "please may I give you the doll?"
- Susy Hendrix: Please may I give you the doll?
- Roat: You may.
- Mike Talman: Damn it, you act as if you're in kindergarten! This is the big bad world, full of mean people, where nasty things happen!
- Susy Hendrix: Now you tell me.
- Sam Hendrix: [Susy calls his studio] Hendrix here.
- Susy Hendrix: [mocking his tone] Hendrix here too.
- Roat: Now all the children have gone to bed, and we can talk.
- Susy Hendrix: What are you going to do with that gasoline?
- Roat: Well you just guess.
- [lights newspaper on fire]
- Roat: Now guess!
- Susy Hendrix: No! Please, no! Alright!
- Roat: I thought that would save time.
- Susy Hendrix: I'll get you the doll!
- Roat: Oh that's a good girl, go right to the head of the class.
- Susy Hendrix: [trips and falls on top of Mike's body] Mike!
- [Roat pulls a chair up from behind, startling her]
- Roat: It's just a chair, Susy, so you can sit down.
- Susy Hendrix: Now... the first thing we have to do is stay calm.
- Gloria: I am calm, Susy.
- Susy Hendrix: Yes, I know you are, I really know. It's the best thing I've ever heard.
- Gloria: Are they detectives?
- Susy Hendrix: No, honey, they're not detectives. They're sure not detectives.
- [pauses]
- Susy Hendrix: The one out on the street, can I get by him?
- Gloria: Not without him seeing you.
- Susy Hendrix: Then I have to stay here.
- Shatner: Hi, Susy. Hey.
- Susy Hendrix: Hi, Shatner.
- Shatner: Let me help you with that mess.
- Susy Hendrix: Ah, you're a lovely cavalier, only don't tell Sam you helped me. I'm supposed to be learning total self-sufficiency.
