Quotes
-
Sam : Who was she, Al? Who was she? What songs did she like to sing? Who did she dream about at night?
Al : William Holden.
Sam : What?
Al : William Holden. It's 1957, she's a teenager, she had to have a crush on either William Holden or James Dean. Knowing her background, my money's on Bill. I'll bet "Picnic" is the first movie she saw when she came to the United States.
-
Al : If the chief finds the gun in the lake...
Sam : He won't. And even if he does, it just means that the killer threw the gun in the water.
Al : Boy, you won't give up, will you?
Sam : Not when I feel I'm right.
Al : All right, say you're right. We find the gun, even find someone to trace it to. What does that prove? You have no bullet to match it to.

[Sam is watching Hilla's home movies]
Al : I've had a lot of fixations on women, but this...
Sam : It's not one of your cheap flings.
Al : Whatever. This is an obsession.
Sam : Look at her, Al. She's so young and beautiful and full of life. Is that a girl who could kill herself?
Al : This is 1957, Sam. An unmarried girl that got pregnant was an outcast. Sometimes, they'd end the pregnancy; sometimes, they'd even end their own lives.
Sam : Maybe Greg helped her do both.
Al : You really think he killed her?
Sam : Hilla tried to break up with Greg on the fourth. She said they fought all night. She broke with him, Al, but it was too late, she was pregnant. He's got to be the killer.
Al : But you've got no proof.
Sam : I've got feelings.
Al : Feelings? That's a song. You got no evidence. You got no gun, you got no bullet, you got nothin'.
Sam : I got her.
Al : You got shadow and light flickering on the wall, that's not Hilla. What you're seeing is in your imagination.
Sam : She's trying to tell me something, Al. I don't know that it is, but she's trying to tell me something.
