Wait Until Dark (1982 TV Movie)

Stacy Keach: Roat, Roat, Sr., Roat, Jr.

Quotes 

• Roat : Oh, Suzy! You don't have to be ashamed. Everybody's frightened of something, I... ooooooo! I have gasoline here! Gasoline. Hmm? Gasoline. This place will go up like a matchbox! The big question, Suzy, is do you want to be outside in the street? Or locked in there with Mike? It's up to you. So, will you give it to me now?

  Suzy Hendrix : No.

  Roat : 'I won't give it to you'. 'I don't know!'. 'I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I don't know I don't know'. THEN, as it always happens, finally something seemed to snap. Ohhh, yes. And she told me everything she knew. As it turns out, she didn't know where it was, but... she told me everything she could! At last, she wanted to tell me, but, like her, you won't stop at that, will you, Suzy? Hmmm? No! After I'd finished 'questioning' her, she went on, and she told me other things. Little, useful things that just might come in handy, hmm? And then she told me OTHER things. Things I didn't even want to know. Little, intimate things about herself, and Mike, and Carlino... and I said 'Now that's enough, Suzy. That's enough I don't want to know any more' but she went ON AND ON AND ON AND ON... and then finally, she was dead. Now, I'm not going to ask you for it again, Suzy, so when you want to give it to me, you have to tell me. Will you go in there, hmm? Shall I HELP you, Suzy...

• Suzy Hendrix : I won't give it to you.

  Roat : "I won't give it to you"? "I won't give it to you." You remind me of somebody else who said that! Only she said..."I don't know where it is! I don't know! I don't KNOW I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW!"

• Roat : Of course, I knew they'd try and kill me once we had the doll. But, when Carlino walked up to his car just now outside in the street? And saw it start up all by itself and drive straight at him, hmmm? I just couldn't resist turning on the lights to catch his expression, I... I don't think I've ever seen anybody look quite so surprised.

• Roat : Now... what was it you wanted to say to me?

  Suzy Hendrix : I'll give you the doll. If you'll just go and leave us alone.

  Roat : You have to say 'Please may I give you the doll'.

  Suzy Hendrix : PLEASE may I give you the doll?

  Roat : You may!

• Roat : Well, Suzy... now all the children have gone to bed. Now we can talk.
