There still seems to be some confusion as to his real name. He appeared to have several.  |

Tony Wendice: You, uh.... You write for the radio, don't you? Mark Halliday: No, television, for my sins.  (Writer Gene Roddenberry left, and actor Peter Duryea right, on the set of "The Cage")

Just a minute. I'm supposed to have come in through these windows. Suppose they'd been locked?  |

She'll go to bed early and listen to Saturday Night Theatre on the radio. She always does when I'm out.  |

He must've broken in. I wonder what he was after. Those cups, I expect.  |

Tony Wendice: Won't you listen to the radio? Saturday Night Theatre? Margot Wendice: Oh, no. It's a thriller. I don't like thrillers when I'm alone.  (A pre- Trek William Shatner starred in "The Hungry Glass" episode of the Thriller TV Series.)

That was his little mistake... because Swann had done exactly as you suggested, Mr. Halliday. He unlocked the door... then returned the key before he came in.  |

Margot, I better tell Tony about us tonight. No, Mark, please, you mustn't. You don't understand. Tony's changed. Please.  |

It looks like this thread has reached its end. I thank all the participants and conclude with: Tony Wendice: As you said Mark, it might work out on paper, but congratulations, Inspector. Oh, by the way... How about you, Margot? Margot Wendice: Yes, I could do with something. Tony Wendice: Mark? Mark Halliday: So could I. Tony Wendice: I suppose you're still on duty, Inspector.  |
