Brenda Vaccaro: Monica Gilbert

Quotes 

• Edward Delaney : [asking Mrs. Gilbert some questions about her murdered husband]  Did he have any, uh, any enemies that you knew of?

  Monica Gilbert : "Enemies"?

  Edward Delaney : Enemies.

  Monica Gilbert : Of course he had enemies. He worked hard for a living, he saluted the flag, he loved his children. And after 7 years I think he still loved me. What hard-working person in this city doesn't have enemies?

  Edward Delaney : I'm sorry.

  Monica Gilbert : Yeah, I know, I know. It's just so damn rotten, you know what I mean? He was such a good man, and...

  [pauses, becomes emotional] 

  Monica Gilbert : You want to do me a favor, Mr. policeman? Until you find whoever it was that murdered my husband, don't tell me you're sorry. Please?

  [Delaney quietly nods in agreement]
