Quotes 

• Mr. Brown : Where'd you get that outfit?

  Susan Lowell : What's wrong with it?

  Mr. Brown : I like you better in white. You've got a dozen white dresses. Why don't you wear them?

  Susan Lowell : White doesn't please me anymore.

  Mr. Brown : A woman dresses for a man. You dress for me. Go put on something white!

• Susan Lowell : People tell me all sorts of things. I don't listen.

• Police Lt. Leonard Diamond : You think this is mink, Miss Lowell? You think these are the skins of little wild animals sewn together for your pleasure? You're mistaken.

  Susan Lowell : Take your hands off...

  Police Lt. Leonard Diamond : These are skins of human beings, Miss Lowell, people who've been beaten, sold, robbed, doped, murdered by Mr. Brown.

• Police Lt. Leonard Diamond : I didn't come here to hurt you, Miss Lowell. You don't have to see me again or even speak to me again. But save yourself. Leave him.

  Susan Lowell : How?

  Police Lt. Leonard Diamond : All you have to do is walk out.

  Susan Lowell : Is that all, Mr. Diamond? You've followed me long enough to know I can't. I live in a maze, Mr. Diamond. A strange blind and backward maze, and all the little twisting paths lead back to Mr. Brown.
