Nancy Parsons: Mary Hennepin

Quotes 

• Mary Hennepin : My apartment's just across the street from the liquor store. Convenient if I need a little créme de menthe.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Yes, right. Miss Hennepin, how much of my arrest did you actually witness?

  Mary Hennepin : Oh, beginning to end. Totally uncalled for. That policeman used excessive force.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : And would you be willing to testify to that effect at my trial?

  Mary Hennepin : Oh, goodness, yes.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : [sighs]  Miss Hennepin-- Mary? You're a dream come true. I'll have my assistant come in to take a statement.

  Mary Hennepin : Shouldn't we discuss the remuneration?

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Well, there'll be certain out-of-pocket expenses: eating lunch, taking a bus. Oh, of course, and renumerated you shall be.

  Mary Hennepin : Not to mention the value of my time.

  [Douglas hangs up the phone. Receiver clatters] 

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Exactly what dollar sum did you have in mind?

  Mary Hennepin : Oh, I don't know.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Ballpark it.

  Mary Hennepin : An even grand.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : $1,000?

  Mary Hennepin : I've seen the car you drive, you can afford it.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Madam, I will not participate in bribery.

  Mary Hennepin : 800?

  [Douglas wants Miss Hennepin to leave. Door opens] 

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : You'll not get a penny from me.

  Mary Hennepin : 700.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Not one red cent.

  Mary Hennepin : Take it or leave it.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : What kind of a sucker do you think I am?

  Mary Hennepin : First class.

  [Douglas founds out that Miss Hennepin has left her yarn, and Douglas throws the yarn out of his office, but the yarn catch by Roxanne. Door slams]
