You know, like VBS for George Bernard Shaw.
SAM is for Stuart Andrew Mason.
Stuart Andrew is his home name.
He writes detective stories.
And the rest of the coincidence was that love letter you inadvertently mailed to Sam's play detective, thereby sending your uncle out gunning for Sam instead of SAM?
I do, after you read my diary and my confessions to myself about S.A.M.
and the references to his brilliant mind on criminal subjects.
You were a natural stand-in for S.A.M.
But I wasn't going through with it then.
Not after I met you.
Because the moment I saw you, I knew that all those things I'd said in that love letter were real to you.
Last night was so beautiful?
I think I... I think I must have dreamed of you.
Oh, Sam, darling, I...
Oh, I can imagine.
