Roat:
Of course, I knew they’d try and kill me once we had the doll. But, when Carlino walked up to his car just now outside in the street? And saw it start up all by itself and drive straight at him, hmmm? I just couldn’t resist turning on the lights to catch his expression, I… I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody look quite so surprised.

Suzy Hendrix:
[Suzy is trying to make her apartment completely dark] Can you see me moving?

Gloria:
Yes, just.

Suzy Hendrix:
There must be a light coming from somewhere, where is it coming from?

Gloria:
From under the door at the top of the stairs.

Suzy Hendrix:
Hell! OK, wait, There’s a broom in the spare closet. Go out in the hall and smash every light you can see, just go until you can’t see anything.

Gloria:
WILL DO, ha ha…

[she does]

Gloria:
All out!

Suzy Hendrix:
Close the door. Now, can you see anything?

Gloria:
Nothing at all.

Suzy Hendrix:
All dark?

Gloria:
Yes.

Suzy Hendrix:
Good! OK, off you go then, know what to do?

Gloria:
Asbury Park, and tell Sam everything!

Suzy Hendrix:
Lock this door, check that the street door is locked, then go out the back way and run until you find a taxi!

Gloria:
Bye, Suzy…

Suzy Hendrix:
Gloria? I don’t know anyone who could do this as well as you.

Gloria:
Oh boy, I wish a thing like this would happen every day, HA HA!

Roat:
Now… what was it you wanted to say to me?

Suzy Hendrix:
I’ll give you the doll. If you’ll just go and leave us alone.

Roat:
You have to say ‘Please may I give you the doll’.

Suzy Hendrix:
PLEASE may I give you the doll?

Roat:
You may!

---

Roat:
Well, Suzy… now all the children have gone to bed. Now we can talk.

---

Roat:
Oh, Suzy! You don’t have to be ashamed. Everybody’s frightened of something, I… ooooooo! I have gasoline here! Gasoline. Hmm? Gasoline. This place will go up like a matchbox! The big question, Suzy, is do you want to be outside in the street? Or locked in there with Mike? It’s up to you. So, will you give it to me now?

Suzy Hendrix:
No.

Roat:
‘I won’t give it to you’. ‘I don’t know!’. ‘I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know’. THEN, as it always happens, finally something seemed to snap. Ohhh, yes. And she told me everything she knew. As it turns out, she didn’t know where it was, but… she told me everything she could! At last, she wanted to tell me, but, like her, you won’t stop at that, will you, Suzy? Hmmm? No! After I’d finished ‘questioning’ her, she went on, and she told me other things. Little, useful things that just might come in handy, hmm? And then she told me OTHER things. Things I didn’t even want to know. Little, intimate things about herself, and Mike, and Carlino… and I said ‘Now that’s enough, Suzy. That’s enough I don’t want to know any more’ but she went ON AND ON AND ON AND ON… and then finally, she was dead. Now, I’m not going to ask you for it again, Suzy, so when you want to give it to me, you have to tell me. Will you go in there, hmm? Shall I HELP you, Suzy…

[Suzy hurls a bowl of hypo into Roat’s face]

Suzy Hendrix:
I won’t give it to you.

Roat:
“I won’t give it to you”? “I won’t give it to you.” You remind me of somebody else who said that! Only she said…”I don’t know where it is! I don’t know! I don’t KNOW I DON’T KNOW I DON’T KNOW I DON’T KNOW I DON’T KNOW!”

---

Roat:
Did you know they wanted to kill me? I did. I knew even before they did. They were awful amateurs, and that’s why you saw through them.

Susy Hendrix:
I saw through you too.

Roat:
No, not all the way, Suzy. Even now, not all the way. The lovely thing was the way I let them set it all up. All that silliness of meeting in the parking lot, the whole thing, they had comic book minds. So, I let them do it their way, right up to the very end. And then, topsy-turvy. Me topsy and them turvy.

Why the hell not?

Because she’s the referee.

You just signed your names all over this place.

[Carlino begins wiping off finger prints off banister] Hmmm. Even if you could remember eveything you touched it would still take hours to wipe em off wouldn’t it? If not days.

Roat:
I know. But you talk. And that’s why you’ve been invited to this party. To talk you way into that big black safe, Sergeant.

Mike Talman:
There’s a locked closet in the bedroom.

Roat:
Oh, no, not there. It’s just clothes.

Mike Talman:
How do you know?

Roat:
I looked.

Mike Talman:
You have the key?

Roat:
It’s on the ledge above the door.

Mike Talman:
No it isn’t.

Roat:
Well, they must have taken it with them.
