Charade quotes

  • Reggie Lampert: Oh, I don't know who anybody is...

    Adam Canfield: Reggie, I beg you. Just trust me once more.

    Reggie Lampert: Why should I?

    Adam Canfield: [slight pause] I can't think of a reason in the world why you should.

    Adam Canfield: It won't get you the stamps, Dyle. You'll still have to come out, and I'm not likely to miss at this range.

    Hamilton Bartholomew: Maybe not, but it takes a lot of bullets to kill me. They left me there with five in my leg and my stomach. They knew I was alive, but they left me there. I spent ten months in a German prison camp with nothing to stop the pain. They left me there. They deserved to die.

    Adam Canfield: But I had nothing to do with it.

    Hamilton Bartholomew: You've got the money now. It belongs to me. Mrs. Lampert, they knew I was alive, but they left me there. That's why I had to kill them. All four of them. Please believe me: I'll kill you too. It won't make any difference... I've come too far to turn back. I swear I'll kill you!
