Man: You know, Mikey, this whole thing might have turned out differently if I'd just stayed away from people like Mabel Travis... Mike: Who's Mabel Travis? Man: She owns a lumber yard I used to do a lot of business with. A few months ago, when I first caught wind of the investigation, I went to see her. We'd been padding her bills for years so I was real concerned. We took a long walk down by the creek, and I told her how devastating it'd be for both our families if the truth ever got out. Mike: Was she sympathetic? Man: Very. Unfortunately, she was also wire for sound.
