• [last lines] 

  Bradley Fredericks : Melissa, uhm, if you'd just told me how important that money was to you.

  Melissa Morgan : You'd never understand - how could you? You were born rich, you lived rich. You were so rich, you didn't even want the money. I've never had anything in my whole life.

  Bradley Fredericks : But, was it worth killing two people?

  Melissa Morgan : I'd have sold my soul for it.

• Melissa Morgan : [Melissa walks out on deck of the sailing boat and confronts Mr. Catlin]  How can a rich man like you let his son live from one day to the next, from hand to mouth.

  R.B. Catlin : I bet it came as quite a surprise to you didn't it, the bride of poor Brad Fredericks, discovered she's actually married a Catlin, heir to an untold fortune. You had to know he was a Catlin or you wouldn't have married him.

  Melissa Morgan : I found out by accident that he was your son. Brad doesn't know I even know who he really is.

  R.B. Catlin : If he wants to wander around like a hippie taking pictures of crocuses for twenty dollars a crocus, that's his business. If he's too proud to put on a suit and tie and take his rightful place in the Catlin Industries, then both of you can go right on living on thistles, pine cones, and chicken fat. That's final.

  Bradley Fredericks : Ah, my little bride, look at this.

  [He hands her a picture of a bird] 

  Bradley Fredericks : See the Y-4 shutter cuts the shutter to one hundred. Look at the detail.

  Melissa Morgan : Brad, it's beautiful!

  Bradley Fredericks : Yea, isn't it? I better get packing. Heavy dew last night. Those wild flowers are gonna have a texture to them like velvet today. I won't be back until sunset. Miss me?

  Melissa Morgan : Uh-hum, like crazy.

  [They kiss] 

  Melissa Morgan : While you're gone I'd better drive into the city today and do some shopping. The larder is getting a little low.

  Bradley Fredericks : Well, let's splurge. As soon as we get this series off to the Annual we'll be solvent again. You'll see.

  Melissa Morgan : We'll get by.

  Bradley Fredericks : You bet. Bye-bye.

  [He walks away. She looks at the bird picture again, drops the picture, and rolls her eyes in annoyance]
