Quotes

Sinclair Fenwick: We were at the climax of the play, "Waiting for Wednesday." So let's start again. There's a knock at the door. The maid answers. She opens the door. It's our hero, Douglas. His eyes are blackened, both arms are broken, his face is a bloody mass. Weakly, he speaks.
Douglas: They did it again. They took me to their back room and beat me. They used rubber hoses, brass knuckles, blackjacks. They beat me Sunday, they beat me Monday, and again today. But they were surprised to find me...waiting for Wednesday!
