| - {Breaking the scene after Keith flubs his line} No, no, no, no, no!
- Did you know, that while filming Night of the Fish Men's Return, Synthia Marsh had the most terrible allergic reaction to the fish man suit?
- When this... international scuffle blows over, I shall return to the silver screen and lead the world to a new golden age of cinema!
- {linger on it. you crave attention and have been in this vault for 200 years. The player is about to have relations with you} Mmm, sounds good, Detective.
- I don't know detective, I can't really imagine Keith killing Ezra.
- {with a sigh} Look. I love Keith, I do. But sometimes he just can't give me the attention I need. A girl gets lonely, Detective.
- Did you know that I was supposed to star in Love Sets Sail? The only reason that bitch Vera got the part is because her uncle was the producer.
- The line is, "Then we'll make our stand here. Two lovers, together, with a bullet for each of them."
- Oh, I want to believe you, I do but... they'll never let us go.
- {Flirty and film noire} Well now. If it isn't the brave Detective.
- {false modesty, flirting with the player.} What can I say? It just comes naturally.
- But now the law is on our tail, what are we going to do?
- Oh ho ho! Yes, I haven't seen a woman go off like that since Theresa Dubois fired her costume designer. But to get back to your question...
- Keep it up Tiger, and we'll find out if you can handle how much woman I am.
- You shouldn't be in here, the killer is still loose.
- Care to hear some of my stories, detective?
- Did you need something else?
- {flirtingly dramatic} I'll be around. Languishing from your inattention.
- I can't believe it was him the whole time.
- You're sweet, Detective. But it wouldn't be fair to Keith.
- Oh Keith... I thought he was finally over him.
- Well darling, play your cards right and maybe I'll whisper some sweet nothings in your ear.
- They were ever so much fun!
- Ugh. Fine, I'm going to the beach.
- What was all that about, Detective?
- Oh, that? We were rehearsing. Got to stay sharp if we are going to rebuild Hollywood. But Keith always gets flustered when he's upset.
- {trying to change the topic} Really? That's a shame, it was a great picture. He was so cute in that tight uniform.
- I don't think I want to talk to someone as rude as you.
- {Mildly flirty.} Hello again Detective. Here for my acting stories I assume?
- {Post coitus} That was great, Detective. But we probably shouldn't make a habit of this. Catch you later, tiger.
- You were hired to catch a killer, not to prod into our personal affairs, Detective.
- {very friendly/ almost sultry. The player has listened to your stories and/or flirted with you.} Sure, darling, what did you need?
- Did you know there were thinking of making a TV show of The Silver Shroud? Between you and me, Keith's agent had an inside track to get him the role.
- {Start out trying to smooth things over, but have a little heat on the end. you actually are a bit mad. Maybe you wouldn't have affairs if he didn't} Look Detective, I've known about Keith and Ezra for a long time. We're both movie stars, it
- Surely you must be here for my salacious stories of the silver screen?
- You should have seen me before all this. Red hair that was the envy of every girl and legs for days, darling.
- {slow and sultry.} I haven't seen someone with a body like that in far, far too long.
- I'm sure you'd rather hear some of my stories from the silver screen rather than talk about that nasty murder business.
- Surely you'd prefer to hear some tales from my storied acting career instead of talking about some dreadful murder...
- How rude! I guess I'll just find someone else to tell my acting stories to. Goodbye Detective.
- But, and this is where it gets interesting, it sounded like she found something that really set her off, couldn't hear what though...
- Keith and I first met when we acted together in Empire on the Nile. It was a period piece, huge production budget.
- {Terse. The player has been rude to you} Fine. Goodbye Detective.
- It was fever pitch, Detective. She had apparently gone to the overseer's office to check on the state of things and found it in horrible disrepair.
- {with a raised eyebrow, you've flirted with the player a lot at this point.} Hey there tiger. Here for more stories from my acting career or... something else?
- {pause and raise eyebrow before "compromising situation". She is also completely ignoring why Keith would have been in that kind of nightclub} He'll deny ever saying it, but Keith once told me he caught Vince Natali and Sergio Amor
- My favorite subject! Simply put, darling, I'm the greatest actress in the world.
- I used to do musicals, back when they were in fashion. The Beautiful Cigar Girl, Wagons on the Plain, A Woman of the Royal Navy.
- He played Mark Antony, and I, of course, played Cleopatra. Ooh how I hated that black hair though.
- Perhaps if we were better acquainted I'd be willing to share what I know.
- {pouty and petulant, but playfully so} Oh boo. You're no fun. I suppose we can talk about the case, unless you'd rather hear some stories from my acting career?
- {pause between "were" and "friends", really play up the film noire} It wasn't like that, we were friends. He helped me out of a tight spot or two is all.
- Well, it is a bit strange how obsessed Santiago has been with the murder. I mean, he's always been a bit obsessive though...
- It only lasted a few dozen years. The man's a bit much even for me.
- More than half the scenes had to be done with her stunt double! And that stunt double ended up having an affair with her co-star.
- He did a whole series of paintings of me, hundreds! Said I was his muse. It was flattering for a while, but the man is a bit much. Even for me.
- {no nonsense. You don't like the player at this point, but you still are eager for attention and too "in character" to be rude to their face.} Did you change your mind about hearing my acting stories Detective?
- Sean Holzman, he was the director you see, well he threw the most lavish set parties. They were absolutely bacchanalian.
- {rehearsing a scene from a film noire script that is intended to sound suspicious to the player} Why'd you do it? Huh? He deserved better than that.
