I thought he was a rock and roll star.
Lt. Walker He was a retired rock and roll star.
A civic-minded, very respectable rock and roll star.
Then, what's that over there?
Looks like civic-minded, very respectable cocaine.
Would you tell us the nature of your relationship with Mr. Boz?
I had sex with him for about a year and a half. I liked having sex with him. He wasn't afraid of experimenting. I like men like that. Men who give me pleasure. He gave me a lot of pleasure.
You ever engaged in any sadomasochistic activity?
Did you ever tie him up?
No.
You never tied him up.
No Johnny liked to use his hands too much. I like hands and fingers.
Lt. Walker You describe a white silk scarf in your book.
I’ve always had a fondness for white silk scarves. they're good are all occasions.
But you said you liked men to use their hands, didn't you?
No, I said I liked Johnny to use his hands. I don’t give any rules, Nick. I go with the flow.
Did you kill Mr. Boz, Miss Tramell?
I'd have to be pretty stupid to write a book about killing and then kill somebody the way I described it in my book. I'd be announcing myself as the killer. I'm not stupid.
We know you're not stupid, Ms. Tramell
Lt. Walker Maybe that’s what you’re counting on to get you off the hook.
Writing the book gives you an alibi.
Yes it does, doesn't it? The answer's no. I didn't kill him.
How did you feel when I told you Johnny Boz had died, that day at the beach?
I felt somebody had read my book and was playing a game.
But you didn't hurt.
No.
Because you didn't love him.
That's right.
Even though you were **** him.
You still get the pleasure. Didn't you ever **** anybody else while you were married, Nick?
Lt. Walker How did you know he was married?
Maybe I was just guessing. What difference does it make? Would you like a cigarette, Nick? [She lights a cigarette for herself]
Do you two know each other?
No.
No.
Lt. Walker How did you meet Mr. Boz?
I wanted to write a book about the murder of a retired rock and roll star. I went down to his club. I picked him up. Then I had sex with him.
Lt. Walker You didn't feel anything for him. You just had sex with him for your book.
In the beginning. Then I got to like what he did for me.
That's pretty cold, ain't it, lady?
I'm a writer. I use people for what I write. Let the world beware.
