Steve:
[about to phone]
What's the name of the hotel where you are supposed to meet Jeff?
Vanessa Shelton:
Why? Who are you calling?
Steve:
The police, naturally.
[she jumps up and clicks off the phone]

Steve:
Wow, what does that mean?
[still with receiver in his hand]

Vanessa Shelton:
[sighs]
Wait, Steve.
[shakes head]

Vanessa Shelton:
I can't do it.
Steve:
What's wrong? You're moist.
[scoffs]

Steve:
Did those three days at the cottage heat up the old romance? I thought you were better than that. Can't you realize, if we don't have him arrested, he'll kill you?
[she lowers her eyes, sits down again, and he cradles the phone]

Steve:
And by now, he knows you're a... a bitch.
Vanessa Shelton:
[flaring up]
Of course I'm a bitch! But that's precisely why you've been able to sit comfortably in your chair and talk about law and justice. I was the one who was risking my skin out there. It was me who had to marry Weber. I was the one who had to go to bed with him.
Steve:
[sarcastic]
I could have offered myself, but I don't believe Weber would have appreciated my charms, darling. At least I have one thing to my credit. I discovered you! I set the whole Vanessa mechanism in motion, the operation that means we now have a billion dollar organization right in our hands!
[taps desk with pen]

Steve:
In any case, Jeff is finished. They have his name on their list. They'd catch him sooner or later. You know how many dead men he has on his conscience.
Vanessa Shelton:
What about you? You're the one who wanted Weber killed.
Steve:
[tuts, shaking his head]
We both did, darling. But he won't be on our consciences. We just shifted the blame from you to him. Jeff was the one who pulled the trigger. The sooner it is over, the better it will be for all of us... even for him.
[throws down his pen]

Steve:
Where is he waiting for you?
[she hesitates]
