Bosley: Okay, you kept me waiting this long without telling me who the strangler is. Now, which one who did it?
Sabrina: He did. (As police men take Alec by Bosley and Sabrina.)
Bosley: Oh. (Police walk by with Jesse as Jill comes up.)
Jill: And he did.
Bosley: Huh? (The police take Kevin by.)
Kelly: And he did. (Walking behind the police and out the door.)
Bosley: Oh, I see. (edit)
Sabrina: (On the phone) Alec? Sabrina Duncan. I have some information I think you'll be interested in about Candy's attempted murder. (Sabrina looks at Jill.)
Jill: Jesse? Hi. It's Jill Munroe. There were some photos taken at the St. Clair estate the day that Michelle was murdered and I think you'll want to see them? (Jill looks at Kelly.)
Kelly: Kevin? Kelly Garrett. I think we should have a talk about Dana Cameron's murder. (edit)
Kelly: Well, isn't this romantic? (Kelly walks in and slams the door.) So, that's the way you treat a lady. Listen, friend, I drove all the way over here thinking you wanted some action. What I didn't realize is that the action you wanted was with someone else.
(Glancing at Sabrina who just got off he couch.)
Alec: I didn't invite you here.
Kelly: Maybe not in so many words. But you've been coming on pretty heavy for a week.
Sabrina: We are supposed to have a quiet dinner together and suddenly a replacement shows up? Oh, that's not good form at all, love.
Alec: What the hell is going on here?
Sabrina: In a word, nothing lover. Not tonight.
Kelly: Well, I guess you struck out again. (Kelly slaps Alec in the face.) (edit)
Kelly: Gosh. You over the hill at 24?
Jill: Very funny? (Turning and pointing at Sabrina.) You shut up. (edit)
Kelly: (Whispering loudly in the changing room.) Do you think you can corral Woodman?
Jill: Ooh! Faster than Roy Rogers.
Kelly: Roy Rogers.
Jill: Yeah, in my tomboy youth, I was a real Roy Rogers freak. Oh, do you knw when Trigger died, they stuffed him? I mean there's nothing sacred anymore. (edit)
