A scene from The Number 23 2007
Walter Sparrow

[finding a knife in her purse, laughing in disbelief]

What's this for, Ag? What are you going to do with this?

Agatha Sparrow

I... I took it to protect us. From... whoever we were going to meet at the mailbox facility.

Walter Sparrow

Intending to kill that poor old man who you got to publish your book? To protect your little secret?

Agatha Sparrow

[Flashback]

I'll take care of it!

Walter Sparrow

[Present]

He was ALIVE before you sent us away!

Agatha Sparrow

Robin will hear you.

Walter Sparrow

Oh, we wouldn't want that, would we? We wouldn't want our son to know the horrible truth about his mother!

Robin Sparrow

[walks in]

Mom? Dad? What's going on?

Walter Sparrow

She's Topsy Kretts; she wrote the book!

Agatha Sparrow

No, it's not true. Now your father's going to put down the knife. Aren't you, Walter?

Walter Sparrow

Tell him the truth.

Agatha Sparrow

Walter...

Walter Sparrow

Tell him... how you took the skeleton.

Agatha Sparrow

Yes, Isaac and I took the skeleton...

Robin Sparrow

You did?

Agatha Sparrow

And I'd do it again! But I did not write the book.

Walter Sparrow

Don't lie! 13 years. 13 years of lies! NO MORE!

Agatha Sparrow

Don't do this to us, Walter!

Robin Sparrow

Mom, who wrote the book?

Walter Sparrow

Tell him who wrote it. [whispering] Tell him.

Agatha Sparrow

...You wrote the book, Walter.
