Willy Montego: [after Jessica exposes him as the murderer] It was an accident. I never meant to ... I stuck with him through all the years he couldn't get a job, putting off my own retirement, waiting for the big break. And when it came, he was ready to throw me away. Why should he pay me, or any agent, ten percent of what he had coming when he can hire a lawyer to do the paperwork for a fraction of that amount? A man pays his dues and sticks with a client through good days and bad, he deserves more than a kick in the pants. It wasn't fair, Mrs. Fletcher. Damn it, it just wasn't fair.
Jessica Fletcher: No. No, Willy, it wasn't.
Willy Montego: Ever since it happened, I can't eat, can't sleep, waiting for a knock on the door, terrified of being caught, frightened by every sound. I can't live that way.
Jessica Fletcher: You don't have to, Willy. Not anymore. It's over.
