Scene 10
ABBERLINE: Is this your idea of a joke? You were fading in my mind by the time your wife was buried. Why would I think of you five years later?
Kelly laughs.
ABBERLINE (cont): What’s so funny?
KELLY: All that runnin’! All that time I thought you was hot on my tail! You were so stupid!
ABBERLINE: I’m not too feeble to put your head through a wall!
KELLY: You didn’t know! You let it happen! You was so stupid! You let it happen!
Abberline grabs Kelly by the front of his jacket and shakes him furiously.
ABBERLINE: Shut up! Shut up!
KELLY: All that blood is on your hands!
Alice enters.
ABBERLINE: Shut up!
Alice pounds Abberline’s back.
ALICE: Leave him alone!
Abberline releases and backs away.
ABBERLINE: I don’t know what came over me.
ALICE: You must be real strong to beat a man that’s tied to a chair! Is this how you do your police work?
Alice inspects Kelly
ALICE: Are you all right, Jimmy? Did he hurt you?
KELLY: Where’s the guards?
ABBERLINE: He’ll watch his mouth if he wants to remain in one piece.
Alice turns on Abberline.
ALICE: This one ain’t done nothing to you! I ain’t letting you hurt him.
KELLY: He came here to kill me, Alice!
ABBERLINE: I’m afraid I don’t have sympathy for a man that ripped his wife to pieces!
