Bill Ainsley: [after Jessica exposes the murderer] Come on, this is crazy. Tell her!
Susan Ainsley: Tell her what? Bill, I'm sorry. She did call me. Crazy Alex. Drunk, scared and angry. Me, who she was always putting down. Well, I had no trouble finding her. And I was ready for her. And she was glad to see me. I couldn't just run her down. Suppose she lived through that? I had to be sure.
Jessica Fletcher: It wasn't enough to kill Alex. You tried to fix the blame on Coby. You knew if he was found guilty of killing Alex, he couldn't share in the treasure.
Susan Ainsley: You think that was it? You think the money was it? Well, let me tell you something. I was sick and tired of being the outsider. Bill was a diver. So they would accept Bill, no problem. But Alex kept harping on how the only thing I paid attention to was my looks. Well, my looks are the only thing that I have. I was never smart enough for them. And they kept throwing it back in my face.
Bill Ainsley: Honey, that's just not true.
Susan Ainsley: It is true, Bill. You just never paid any attention to it. To them, I was your airhead wife. Anyway, I went back to Hill House, and I located Coby's rental car. And then I made sure I was alone. And I took off my jacket, and I wrapped it around the tire iron to muffle the sound. And then I smashed the grill and the headlight. And then very carefully picked up every piece of glass, and I took it back with me to that dark, deserted road. Bill ... Bill, I didn't do it for me. I did it for us, baby. It was all right there for the taking, everything we ever wanted.
