The Woman in the Window Page #3

Stop! Frank!

Is...

Is he...

What...

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

Call the police, I suppose.

What was his name?

Howard.

Frank Howard.

That's what he told me.

Don't you think it was?

I don't know.

I don't think so, but I don't know.

He never told me anything else.

Where he lived, what he did,

anything.

I saw him two or three times

a week, perhaps.

He never took me out to dinner

or a show or anything.

What... What are you...

Where's the telephone?

In the bedroom.

WOMAN:
Operator.

Operator, get me...

Operator. Operator.

You say nobody has ever

seen you with him?

We've never been out together.

When you met him?

That was on a train.

Why?

Who knows at all about you and him?

Unless he told someone,

which I doubt,

nobody.

You've never mentioned him to anybody?

Not his name.

Not even the name he gave me.

Do you think

there's something we can do?

I was just wondering.

I was wondering if anybody could have

seen him coming in here tonight.

I'm sure not.

He wouldn't even get out of the cab

if there was anyone around.

Do you think

there's something we can do?

Do you? I don't want to go to jail.

Try to keep calm. Please.

Let's think about it a minute.

Let's see if there is anything.

They'll never believe us, you know.

No, I'm afraid they won't, but even if

they did, we wouldn't be much better off.

They'll say we can make up

any kind of story we wanted to.

Who else saw it?

They'll make it some kind of murder,

I know they will.

Please.

I have no feeling about him.

He was trying to kill me,

there's no question about that.

If I hadn't killed him, he'd have killed me.

If you hadn't given me the scissors,

I'd be dead.

But whatever they believe,

I'm ruined, my whole life.

You were thinking of something.

What was it?

I was wondering

if we had the nerve for something,

something pretty dangerous

that would shut the door on us

completely if we were caught.

Anything you say.

I don't want to go to jail! I don't!

It's this.

If nobody knows about you,

if nobody saw him coming in here tonight,

how could either of us

be connected with it

if his body were found

miles and miles away from here?

But how?

I'd have to go and get my car.

I'll park it directly in front of the door.

And then we'll pick our moment.

You'll watch while I carry it out

and put it in the back.

And then I'll dump it

somewhere in the country.

It'll be found of course, sooner or later,

but maybe not for a week.

You mean, you'll go for your car

while I wait here?

- Would you be afraid?

- Not of that.

If you got out of here,

why should you ever come back?

I like you. I think you're all right,
