Murder in a Small Town2013

Laura:
Then what about the suicide note? If you were really in that state of mind would you take the time to type and print a note? She didn't even sign it.

Susan Parker:
I don't understand; what are you saying?

Kathy:
Susan, we think Debbie was murdered and we think that Andrew is responsible.

Susan Parker:
No, no. You are wrong! [stands up] He loved her and he would never do anything, anything to hurt her.

Kathy:
Susan, I'm not trying to upset you. [words buried under Susan's upset ones]

Susan Parker:
I can't believe this. I'm sorry [shouts and talks over Kathy's placating words] I cannot hear this!

Kathy:
Susan... [stands with Laura and follows Susan into the house] Susan!

Susan Parker:
[yelling emotionally] You have NEVER liked Andrew; you've made it very clear over the years but that does not make him a murderer; he is my son-in-law!

Kathy:
Susan, listen, you don't think it's strange that he went right back to work; that h-he didn't even cry at the funeral; that he won't let you see the girls...

Susan Parker:
He is the father of my grandchildren!

Laura:
We would never say anything unless we really felt like we had to. Aunt Susan: Andrew is not a good man!

Susan Parker:
He is a minister! He's a minister! He's a man of God. And he would never... he would never...

Kathy:
Susan, for God's sake, be honest with yourself. You can't tell me you never had doubts. I mean, even before they were married, didn't you think there was always something wrong?

Susan Parker:
I appreciate both of you coming, but this conversation is just making things worse.

Laura:
Aunt Susan!

Susan Parker:
[emotionally] Andrew and those girls are the only connection I have left to Debbie! I want you... I want you to back off and I want you to drop it, do you understand? Do you understand?

Kathy:
It's dropped. [Susan exits the kitchen and Kathy sighs]

Laura:
[turns to Kathy] So we're just going to drop it, just like that?

Kathy:
Absolutely not. [sighs]
