Arnold F. Turner: Cop with Killer Picture

Quotes 

• [Ken is horrified to hear that Sandy has let Barbara go] 

  Sandy : Kenny, she really, truly loves us now! She can be trusted, she's changed!

  Ken Kessler : Changed? What did you do, perform an exorcism?

  Sandy : Kenny, she lost nearly twenty pounds!

  [He stares at her, uncomprehending] 

  Sandy : Well, you should have been here. It was a very special moment.

  [Suddenly someone pounds on the front door. Both Ken and Sandy look at each other with dread] 

  Ken Kessler : I'm surprised they knocked.

  [while Sandy bolts for the back door, Ken opens the front door to a police officer with a "Wanted" flyer] 

  Cop with Killer Picture : Good afternoon. I was wondering if you've seen this man. He was sighted in the area a few weeks ago, and again earlier today. He's psychotic, extremely dangerous, and extremely violent. He's killed half a dozen people...

  Sandy : [off-screen, panicked after seeing the cop at the door]  Oh no, oh no... I've gotta get out of here!

  Ken Kessler : [forcing a smile]  My wife... she's late for work.

  [glances at the flyer] 

  Ken Kessler : Doesn't look familiar.

  Cop with Killer Picture : [gives him the flyer]  Well, keep this and give us a call at that number if you do see him. And under no conditions should you try to subdue him yourself. Like I said, he's extremely violent.

  Ken Kessler : He looks it. Thank you very much, Officer!

  [the officer smiles and leaves. Ken waits until he is out of sight, then bolts for the back yard, where Sandy is trying to climb over the fence] 

  Ken Kessler : [whispering]  Sandy! It's okay, it's okay! They're looking for somebody else.
