Alan McMann : I told you! There is no such person.
Inspector Klaus : But she sat right here!
Alan McMann : No! She thinks she's a character in a book. She thinks I'm a character in a book. She even thinks my mother is a character in a book. The woman is crazy!
Inspector Klaus : She is not the only one.

Alan McMann : No, of course she exists but not as Rebecca!
Inspector Klaus : Because Rebecca does not exist.
