Lynn Carlin: Nancy Traherne

Quotes 

• Lee Traherne : [he and Joe walk into his house, where his wife Nancy is playing the piano]  Honey? Got a fellow here that says he's a private cop.

  [Nancy stops playing the piano and walks up to them] 

  Lee Traherne : Mr. Mannix, my wife.

  Joe Mannix : How do you do?

  Nancy Traherne : How do you do, Mr. Mannix? Won't you come in?

  Lee Traherne : He wants to ask you about Ira.

  Nancy Traherne : Ira? Whatever for?

  Lee Traherne : If you've got one of your headaches, you don't have to talk to him if you don't want to.

  Nancy Traherne : It's all right; I don't mind. Please sit down, Mr. Mannix.

  Joe Mannix : Thank you.

  Nancy Traherne : Now, what is it that you're investigating around here?

  Joe Mannix : Oh, nothing, really. I just came to see Ira Beecher. I understand he's working for you.

  Nancy Traherne : Yes. The poor man, he was so bitter and filled with hatred when he came out of prison, and I-I just wanted him to know that all of his friends hadn't turned their backs on him.

  Joe Mannix : That's very understanding of you.

  Nancy Traherne : Yes. I understand men. I always did. I think they appreciate being understood, don't you?

  Joe Mannix : Oh, by all means. Where can I find Mr. Beecher?

  Nancy Traherne : Well, he didn't really come to work this morning, and having just moved into a new place, I doubt whether he has a telephone yet.

  Joe Mannix : Do you have his address?

  Nancy Traherne : Well, it's someplace in town. I didn't ask. Actually, I... I wouldn't have any reason to go and visit him, now would I?

  Joe Mannix : No, I guess not.

  Lee Traherne : I think you better be going, Mr. Mannix. You can tell my wife isn't feeling too well.

  Joe Mannix : I'm sorry. Well, uh, thanks for seeing me, Mrs. Traherne.

  Nancy Traherne : I'm-Im only sorry that I couldn't be some real help.

  Joe Mannix : It's quite all right.
