Conflict1945

Richard Mason:
[after he thinks he's seen his dead wife entering a deserted apartment] She's supposed to be dead, you understand. She's supposed to be murdered.

Landlady:
Murdered? [the landlady starts becoming increasingly more fearful of his tone]

Richard Mason:
[He becomes increasingly maniacal] Yes, murdered. You know what that means?

Landlady:
Yes, sir.

Richard Mason:
You don't like that, do you?

Landlady:
No, sir.

Richard Mason:
[His eyes now have a wild look to them] Yes, sir - no, sir - yes, sir! Cats come back sometimes, but women don't. You put cats in a bag and thriow them in the river, but sometimes they get out and come back.

Landlady:
No, sir.

Richard Mason:
Even if they do come back, you're not supposed to harbor them. It's against the law. It's against the housing law!

Landlady:
Yes, sir.

Richard Mason:
Especially a person who's been murdered!

Landlady:
[She becomes panicked] Murdered? [Screaming] HELP!
