Quotes 

• [in the conference room] 

  Woman : Excuse me, Mrs. Fletcher. I don't understand how you could do it. I mean, you said yourself, he was your friend. The guy he murdered was probably a killer several times over, a lot worse than your friend. So why do it?

  Jessica Fletcher : Yes. Well, uh, it was, it- it- it was the hardest thing that I-I've ever done. But popular culture not withstanding, there *is* such a thing as right and wrong. The taking of a human life for any reason is wrong. I mean, you can never nudge the moral compass far from its true north without losing something vital. A compass is essential for everyone, writers in particular. Yuri Malenkovich asked why I investigate murders. He said that I had to have a personal agenda. Well, he was quite right. It's important to me to pursue those who cross the line and take another human life. In my investigating murders, I have seen some terrible things. So many of them that it would take the wind out of anybody's sails.
