Quotes from
Dr. Mark Hamilton: Only once, years ago when I was a student in Vienna.
Richard Mason: What was it?
Dr. Mark Hamilton: Man who murdered his wife.
Richard Mason: Doctor, I don't believe in ghosts and I don't believe in the supernatural. I don't believe that people live on in life after they left it. But I saw Kathyrn today or someone who looked like her.
Dr. Mark Hamilton: Where?
Richard Mason: Downtown. She passed me on the street, I followed her but couldn't catch her on account of this leg. She disappeared into an empty house.
Dr. Mark Hamilton: How do you know it wasn't Kathryn?
Richard Mason: Oh but it couldn't be.
Dr. Mark Hamilton: Why couldn't it be?
Richard Mason: Well if it was, why didn't she stop when I called her? Why didn't she speak to me?
Dr. Mark Hamilton: [on unsolved murder and perfect crime] Laws of chance are overwhelmingly against it, so are the laws of human nature. You see a murderer's whole safety depends upon a complication of lies. If he had no motive, no access, if his alibi is perfect, even if he feels no remorse, think of the strain he endures in knowing one error would be his undoing. That if he is forgetful enough to conflict one of his statements, his act of innocence is unconvincing in any details, if he so much as talks in his sleep.
