Stanley Banks:
[Telephone rings at night] Hello. Buckley, do you know what time it is? It's a quarter to three.

Buckley Dunstan:
I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Is Kay there?

Stanley Banks:
[Sarcastically] But of course she, where would she be? [Whispers] Hello, I'll take this downstairs, hang on [Puts down the receiver & quietly tiptoes downstairs to hall, then picks up the extension phone] What do you mean. is she here?

Buckley Dunstan:
Well, I thought if she were there I could come & pick her up if she were there.

Stanley Banks:
When did she leave? What time did she leave?

Buckley Dunstan:
I don't know, I've been out for a few hours, I just got back a little while ago.

Stanley Banks:
What was it, a fight? [Long pause] DID you have a FIGHT?

Buckley Dunstan:
We had an argument, yes. Look if anything happens to her, I'll kill myself.

Stanley Banks:
Don't worry, I'll do it for you. Did she take anything, a bag or anything?

Buckley Dunstan:
She took her hatbox, umbrella & toilet case & a toothbrush.

Stanley Banks:
Don't worry about it then, if she took her toothbrush, she's not headed for the river.
