you can't find the money, can you?

NED RACINE:  But then Matty sees a way -- to get rid of both of us at once -- at the boathouse.  A way to solve all her problems and get clear, with no one looking for her.  And Oscar she was right too, because I would have never stopped looking for her.  Matty killed this other girl and put her body in the boathouse.  It was so perfect, so clean.  You find two bodies, me and this girl.  Two killers dead.  Case closed.

Oscar's just staring at him.

RACINE:  You can't find the money, can you Oscar?  Doesn't that tell you something?

OSCAR GRACE:  It tells me she moved it and we can't find it.  And that doesn't mean shit.  (his tone becomes more intense -- he wants to guide Ned away from "talking crazy"...) -- It could be sittin' -- in a bank, anywhere in the world -- waiting.  For some dead lady to come for it.

Racine, calmer now, with a minuscule movement shakes his head "no."

OSCAR:  Do you hear what you're saying?  It's crazy.  This Matty would've have to been one quick smart broad.

^^ Ooh--Oscar, don't you understand?  That was her special gift!  She was relentless.
(quieter, with a low, chagrined chuckle)
Matty was the kind of person who could do what was necessary.  Whatever was necessary.
