Stanley Banks: [Telephone rings at night]
Hello. Buckley, do you know what time it is? It's a quarter to three.
Buckley Dunstan:
I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Is Kay there?
Stanley Banks: [Sarcastically; Whispers; Puts down the receiver & quietly tiptoes downstairs to hall, then picks up the extension phone]
But of course she, where would she be? Hello, I'll take this downstairs, hang on. What do you mean. is she here?
Buckley Dunstan:
Well, I thought if she were there I could come and pick her up if she were there.
Stanley Banks:
When did she leave? What time did she leave?
Buckley Dunstan:
I don't know, I've been out for a few hours, I just got back a little while ago.
Stanley Banks:
What was it, a fight?
Stanley Banks:
DID you have a FIGHT?
Buckley Dunstan:
We had an argument, yes. Look if anything happens to her, I'll kill myself.
Stanley Banks:
Don't worry, I'll do it for you. Did she take anything, a bag or anything?
Buckley Dunstan:
She took her hatbox, umbrella & toilet case & a toothbrush.
Stanley Banks:
Don't worry about it then, if she took her toothbrush, she's not headed for the river.
