  • Jerry Strong: It's like a man I knew once. He was suspicious. Bitter, hard, cruel. All those things were written in his face, like a map of his life. He died. I saw him laid out. His face was a new face. It was fine, noble. There was peace in it. He was himself again. Do you see what I mean?

  • Jerry Strong: What do you see?

  • Kay Arnold: Take a good look. It's free.
  • Jerry Strong: You're the first young lady to spend the night in this studio.
