Mary Dwight Strauber:
I'm sick of making deals.
Dorothy 'Gabby' Marvin: Well, you wanna keep on living, don't you?
Mary Dwight Strauber: If this is what you call living, I don't want any part of it. Always being afraid. Never knowing from one day to the next what's going to happen to you. I'm fed up with being afraid of Vanning or anybody else. There must be some other way for me to live. If there isn't, I... well, I'd just as soon put a bullet in my head right now and end it.
