• Charley Varrick : [runs over to busybody neighbour]  Hello Mrs. Taft

  Mrs. Taft : Hell-ow!

  Charley Varrick : You didn't see my wife did you?

  Mrs. Taft : No I didn't see her all day today, but I'll keep my eye peeled!

  Charley Varrick : Thank you. Very kind of you, Mrs Taft.

  Mrs. Taft : Oh just common courtesy

  [chuckles] 

  Mrs. Taft : . Oh - you don't suppose she's run off do you?

  Charley Varrick : No ma'am, I don't think so.

  Mrs. Taft : Well you never can tell. There's mashers all round this place you know. They're after me all the time.

  Charley Varrick : Yes ma'am

  Mrs. Taft : Just don't get any ideas

  Charley Varrick : No ma'am

  Mrs. Taft : The milkman's the worst. I make him leave his yoghurt on the stoop, and I don't bring it in until after he's gone.

  Charley Varrick : That's good thinking

  [telephone rings] 

  Mrs. Taft : Excuse me. That's mine. It's probably an obscene phone call. Oh dear!
