- Inspector William Armstrong: Yeah, he's kinda crafty like that.
- Melvin Belli: Inspectors, he sent this letter directly to my residence. It is a cry for help intended as a private communique.

- Melvin Belli: It is my belief that this is a window into this man's soul. Killing is his compulsion. Even though he tries to ignore it, it drives him. It's in his blood.
- Dave Toschi: Maybe. Or maybe he just likes the attention.
