Corliss Archer: Dexter, you weren't with me tonight.
Dexter Franklin: Huh?
Corliss Archer: Well, there's no point in having Daddy tear you into little pieces. You know his temper.
Dexter Franklin: What are you going to tell him?
Corliss Archer: Oh, I'll think of something. Just remember, no matter what, you weren't with me tonight.
Dexter Franklin: I can't do it. I can't let you take the rap.
Corliss Archer: Oh, I'll figure out a story.
Dexter Franklin: When?
Corliss Archer: Oh, I don't know. Give me a minute to think! Oh, my mind's an absolute blank.
Dexter Franklin: If it isn't a blank now, it will be when your old man gets through with you.
Corliss Archer: Dexter! Not when he gets through, before he starts.
Dexter Franklin: Huh?
Corliss Archer: My mind's a blank. I can't remember anything. I've got amnesia, like in the movie.
Dexter Franklin: It might work.
Corliss Archer: Oh, it's gotta work. But Dexter, you must remember, no matter what happens, no matter what I say or do, you weren't with me tonight!
Dexter Franklin: I weren't with you tonight.
Corliss Archer: Wish me luck.
