The Getaway (Read A Great Movie) - Plot & Excerpts
He had been right so often and so long that he could not conceive the possibility of being anything else. Genially, he might charge himself with error, good-naturedly accept the blame for another's mistake. But that was just Doc-part of his masquerade. In his heart he was never wrong-never, that is, about anything that really mattered. And to have a doubt raised as to whether he had actually killed Rudy-a thing at once simple yet vital-made him as near to angry as he ever came."I'll tell you, Carol," he said, a trace of fiddle-string tightness in his voice. "I don't know who shot those two cops. I don't care. All I know is that it was not done by Rudy Torrento.""Well-if you say so, Doc. But…""Look at it this way. I wasn't a great deal farther from Rudy than I am from you. Suppose I decided to plug you right now. Do you think I'd kill you or not?"Carol laughed uneasily. He was smiling at her; joking, of course. No one knew better than she how much Doc thought of her, the lengths he was willing to go to for her sake.
