Linda del Buono Quotes in Zodiac (2007)

Robert Graysmith: Tell me about this painting party.

Linda del Buono: I told the cops about that so long ago. Darlene always had a lot of boys around, even though she was married. This one guy was weird though. He used to bring her presents from Tijuana. I don't know why she was friends with him. She once told me he'd killed somebody.

Robert Graysmith: Really?

Linda del Buono: I think maybe when he was in the service.

Robert Graysmith: Navy?

Linda del Buono: I think so.

Robert Graysmith: Was he into movies? Was he a movie buff?

Linda del Buono: I can tell you that he was not into people. The party that Darlene threw, people were just supposed to show up, drink beer, help paint, but this guy showed up in a suit, and just sat in a chair all by himself all night long and didn't talk to anyone. And Darlene told me to stay away from him. She was scared of him. Couple weeks later she was dead.

Robert Graysmith: I'm sorry. Do you remember his name?

Linda del Buono: It was short. Like a nickname, like Stan.

Robert Graysmith: Rick?

Linda del Buono: No, I don't think so.

Robert Graysmith: Are you sure?

Linda del Buono: Yeah.

Robert Graysmith: How can you be sure? It was a long time ago. Think hard.
