"That woman...she's a whore! I thought I killed her...I thought she died, but she came back! I waited again, I waited so long, but she came back...defiling my home, my beautiful home for years and years and years...I couldn't take it anymore.
"So I killed her. But she's still here--and now, she has another man. Filthy, wretched whore! I'm going to kill her..."
Priestly smiled, lightly patting mars on the back.
"Oh, I do so love cases like this!"
