Daily Dialogue — April 27, 2010

Judah: And if a man commits a crime… if he kills?
Father: Then one way or another he will be punished.
Uncle: IF he’s caught, Sol.
Father: If he’s not caught, that which originates from a black deed will blossom and follow a man.
Uncle: Well, you’re relying a little too heavily on the bible, Sol.
Father: No no no, whether it’s the Old Testament or Shakespeare, murder will out.
Judah: Who said anything about murder?
Father: YOU did.
Judah: Did I?

 — Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989), written and directed by Woody Allen
