A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Claire Hastings: [to Arnold Hastings, after Jessica exposes her as the murderer] Oh, Arnold, close your mouth. You know what it's like. Been all these years working with the rich, not being rich ourselves. Not rich, rich. You actually start to feel that you're one of them. And then one day, you wake up, and you realize that you're on a par with their poodle's hairdresser.

Det. Lt. Percy Redick: Mrs. Hastings, why don't you bring us all up to speed and tell us what really happened?

Claire Hastings: That idiot, Seymour Densch, couldn't resist the opportunity to see the house and meet the infamous Deborah Tarkington, daughter of his idol, Harry Tarkington. So he used his offer on the house as an entrée and introduced himself to Deborah. Well, after five minutes, she saw right through him, and she called him on it. Of course, he spilled his guts before she tossed him out. I guess that's when she called Victoria and left the message on her machine that the deal was off. Then she called Arnold at the party to give him a piece of her mind, but I intercepted the call. She was talking about fraud. Now I told her to calm down, that we would talk about it. So, I left the party, and I went to Deborah's. She'd been drinking just enough to be abusive and nasty and very dangerous. And when she went for the phone to call the police, I went for the fireplace poker. I always was a good closer.
