Phoebe O'Hara : Well, Joyce's story about the house checked out. It belongs to a guy who only uses it during the ski season. She's got under $1000 in the bank, no stocks, no bonds, no other assets under the name Joyce Palmieri. Her teacher's salary is less than mine, which is pathetic.
Detective John Kimble : Keep looking. Check for offshore accounts under Dominic's name...
Phoebe O'Hara : She doesn't live like someone with millions of dollars. She doesn't even seem the type. Kimble, this might not be her.
Detective John Kimble : It's got to be her.
Phoebe O'Hara : Why? Because she doesn't want to have anything to do with her ex-husband?
Detective John Kimble : I know it's her.
Phoebe O'Hara : Know what I think? You want it to be her. You really like her... and it's scaring you.

Detective John Kimble : She's the one I was telling you about. Her husband ran away with another guy. It's been terrible for her.
Phoebe O'Hara : [smirks] You're not getting mellow on me, are you?
