Maureen Anderman: Eleanor Griffith

Quotes 

• Police Lieutenant : The a... the thing that I'm trying to explain to you. Consider the circumstances.

  Eleanor Griffith : What... I don't understand... what, are the circumstances?

  Police Lieutenant : There's a good chance that your daughter left of her own accord. And if that is the case, she's not missing so there's no one to find.

  Eleanor Griffith : Well that's not what happened.

  Police Lieutenant : This city attracts young girls from all over the world. Mrs Griffiths, they come here and... and get swept away.

  Eleanor Griffith : No my Edie did not get swept away.

  Police Lieutenant : It happens two hundred times a week.

  Eleanor Griffith : Don't tell me that, you don't know Edie. She didn't just get up on her first day in New York and run away, that's ludicrous. Tell him.

  Police Lieutenant : Go back to Duluth and wait. She'll call when she's ready to come home.

  Eleanor Griffith : [Incredulous]  What are you saying? Wait, are you trying to tell me I come to New York on a vacation with my daughter, she disappears and I'm supposed to go home empty handed... as if I left my umbrella in the hotel room, give it an 'oh damn' and go on? What kind of man are you?
