Maybe Sam really does make a good cup of coffee, who knows.
Bill mentions that he and Sam have known each other for thirty years. That means they met in 1936!
It wouldn't be done now to get Sam drunk for information, but Bill gets what he came for as Sam reveals just a hint of what has been tormenting him all these years.
FAREWELL, COLLEEN KELLY AS SILENT SUSIE, THE OTHER COLLINSPORT INN WAITRESS!
LOLed re Sam's amazing coffee. I thought about them knowing each other in the 30s, too... as children? I wonder what the Depression was like for Collinsport. No one would get a guy drunk for information? I don't see why, in this situation. Bill's a nice guy, but tough and determined.
Susie, we hardly knew ye.
