Clarence La Rue: [after Jessica exposes him as the murderer] I never was much of a liar. Ain't much of a killer either, hiding in the shadows. I had too much to drink that night, like Nancy said. I was pitifully drunk and feeling sorry for myself. All I could think about was losing Nancy. And then it hit me. I remembered Wayne would be at Eve's. So I grabbed my shotgun. All I could think about was that damn city fella and his line of gab and his hands on every woman in town. And us husbands paying for the privilege. I came up the side of her house, looked in the window. It was dark, but I saw him. I figured I'd be doing myself and every man in town a favor. I fired, and he dropped. Then I didn't hear a sound. I knew I'd got him. Soon as I got home, I hit the couch and passed out. When I woke up the next morning and saw my gun, what I did all came back to me.
Nancy La Rue: Clarence...
Clarence La Rue: Wasn't till later that day I found out I shot the wrong man. I love you, honey. Always have. I'm sorry. It just come out all wrong.
