Janet Weymouth: [after Jessica exposes her as the murderer] I just wanted to talk some sense into him. But he wouldn't listen. Every dime I have is from the Babbington side of the family. If word got out that Margaret had a child, we'd have lost the entire inheritance. We'd be ruined. I offered him everything, anything.
Sheriff Mort Metzger: But he refused.
Janet Weymouth: Yes.
Jessica Fletcher: And then?
Janet Weymouth: And then I ... And then I ... It was as if I'd lost touch with reality. My head was swimming. All I could feel was a terrible hatred for him and for what he was doing to me and to my family. I didn't know what I was doing. I just knew I was terrified of losing everything and I couldn't let that happen. I just couldn't.
