If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #199 (1967) - Sam - 'Roger MUSTA seen me because he came to the house the next morning and offered me $15,000 for the paintings.'
From "#0198/0199: Robservations 10/10/01: Bitter Truths Revealed!"
If you think about it, $15,000 was a HUGE amount of money in the '50s - no wonder Sam couldn't turn it down...

Then everything Burke says was true, says Maggie, he wasn't driving that car. No, admits Sam. And Roger was, says Maggie. Yes. And you saw that accident? Yes, says Sam, I was out for a walk, a car was coming down a highway, it was driving very fast, swerving all over the highway, so I knew whoever was driving had to be drunk. Then the man appeared, he was walking down the highway, the car swerved and hit the man. It all happened so fast, I didn't even have time to cry out, I couldn't warn him! Then, says Sam, the car stopped for just a fraction of a second, and drove on, but in that second, I saw Roger behind the wheel--it was Burke's car, Roger was driving it. He didn't get out to help that man? asks Maggie. No, says Sam, there was nothing he could do--the man was dead the minute he hit the pavement Awful! exclaims Maggie. Roger must have seen me, says Sam, because he came to the house the next morning and offered me 15 thousand dollars for the paintings. Neither of us mentioned the word bribe, but we both knew that's what it was.[/spoiler]
