Quotes
-
Ellenor Frutt : [to Christine Shepard about her sister] You said she was a devout Catholic. Are you?
Christine Shepard : Yes, I am.
Ellenor Frutt : Is it possible, knowing how opposed you were to suicide, that your sister concealed her plans to take her life?
Christine Shepard : This was not a suicide and I am finding this repulsive.
Ellenor Frutt : You seem angry.
Christine Shepard : I am.
Ellenor Frutt : You and your sister often got angry with each other, didn't you?
Christine Shepard : We had our differences primarily over the war zone that they subjected Emma to.
Ellenor Frutt : Just out of curiosity, where were you the day your sister died?
Christine Shepard : I beg your pardon?
Ellenor Frutt : I don't mean to be rude, but if my client should be convicted of this murder, he'd be disqualified from inheriting and you'd get more of your sister's money, wouldn't you?
Christine Shepard : Are you suggesting I killed my sister?
Ellenor Frutt : I'm just suggesting that you had keys to her house, that you knew her coffee-drinking patterns. Did the police ever investigate you?
Christine Shepard : No, they did not.
Ellenor Frutt : A year ago, you tried to get custody of Emma because you considered your sister to be an unfit parent.
Christine Shepard : I considered them both unfit because of the way they fought continually in front of Emma.
Ellenor Frutt : You love Emma very much.
Christine Shepard : Like a daughter. Yes, I do.
Ellenor Frutt : And if your sister dies and your brother-in-law gets convicted of this crime, you would get custody of Emma, wouldn't you, Christine? Everything would work out.
Christine Shepard : You are disgusting!
