[George enters the office, sees Kate sitting at the desk]

Officer George Earnest Frankly:
Good morning, Kate. You're here awfully early this morning.

Sgt. Kate Monday:
Couldn't sleep. I've been worrying about the case against you.

Officer George Earnest Frankly:
That's good of you. To worry about me, I mean.

Sgt. Kate Monday:
What are friends for? Listen, George, let's get the facts. All the evidence says that you robbed the Next to the Last National Bank.

Officer George Earnest Frankly:
Uh-huh.

Sgt. Kate Monday:
So that leaves us with two alternatives. One is that you did it.

Officer George Earnest Frankly:
Uh-huh. And the other is?

Sgt. Kate Monday:
Someone wants to make us think you did it.

Officer George Earnest Frankly:
And whoever that is has done a heck of a good job.

Sgt. Kate Monday:
But who would want to do a thing like that?

Officer George Earnest Frankly:
It would have to be somebody who's pretty mad at me, I guess.

Sgt. Kate Monday:
Has anybody ever threatened or vowed to get even with you for something?

Officer George Earnest Frankly:
No. Mr. Beasley, my right side neighbour got kind of mad when I ran over his lawn mower.

Sgt. Kate Monday:
Was he angry enough to do this to you?

Officer George Earnest Frankly:
No, I don't think so. I guess I could ask him, but he isn't speaking to me.

Sgt. Kate Monday:
When did it happen?

Officer George Earnest Frankly:
Nineteen seventy four or five.
