Gun Crazy1950

Bart:
I've just been reading a story about funerals.

Laurie:
Oh.

Bart:
The funeral of Miss Augustine Sifert, for twenty-three years office manager of the Armour Meat Packing Company, and William Bechtel, company guard, were killed last Friday when bandits made off with a company payroll. Well?

Laurie:
Well?

Bart:
Two people dead, just so we can live without working. Why?! Why did you do it? Why do you have to murder people? Why can't you let them live?

Laurie:
Because I had to. Because I was afraid. Because they would have killed you. Because you're the only thing I've got in the whole world. Because I love you.

Bart:
We're killers.

Laurie:
You're not. I am.

Bart:
No, we both are. You go into a racket like this to get something at the point of a gun. You have to be ready to kill even before you start a job. I'm as guilty as you are. I've just let you do my killing for me.
