Conversations in Tension and Misunderstanding
Charlie:
You've, uh... got snakes in yer pocket, have you?
Dick: [to Tim Hynes, referring to John]
What's the matter with him? He'd rather talk to a woman than drink?
Janette Hynes:
She's a slag, this little mutt; she'd try anything!
Jock Crawford: [speaking to John after he tries to shoot himself]
I, uh, hate to trouble you, John, but rather than tire you, I thought I'd write down what had happened and you could sign it, okay? "The gunshot wound to my head was the result of an accident. I was visiting my friend, Clarence F. Tydon, after a hunting trip. I dropped my .22 rifle at the floor of his kitchen butt first, believing it to be unloaded. It exploded, and that's all I remember." That'll be about it, wouldn't it?
