Jack the Ripper Doesn't Exist



Scene 7



KELLY: He won’t likely wait long for Dr. Taylor.

ALICE: You pipe down, okay?

Abberline enters.

ABBERLINE: Dr. Taylor must have gotten bored waiting for me. Or perhaps he went off to find the guards. I left a note I’d wait for him here.

ALICE: I think we should hold off on this discussion until he gets here.

KELLY: You should listen to her, Inspector. She’s got a good head on her shoulders.

ABBERLINE: I don’t think there is anything worth concerning him with.

KELLY: A regular Georgia Peach.


ALICE: Then you won’t mind waiting.

KELLY: That’s what they called girls like her in America.


ABBERLINE: I’d really like to be on my way. I was hoping you’d let me continue my interview.

KELLY: Do you know what a Georgia Peach is, Alice?

ALICE: (glaring at Abberline) I’m afraid not.

KELLY: Right purdy li’l things, and smart as a whip, too.

ABBERLINE: I filled out the necessary forms to speak with this patient. I don’t have time to wait for some over-educated key-turner to give me permission a second time.

KELLY: I used to love walking down the dirt roads and just pluck them right off the trees.

ALICE: These men ain’t taking the burden of your mistakes!

KELLY: You take a big, meaty bite outta them, and let the juice run down your cheeks.

ABBERLINE: Your patient wrote to me, remember? If you would give me five minutes, I’d be happy to prove you right.

ALICE: I’ve seen what kind of treatment the cops administer in those five minutes.

KELLY: The Sun hits you in the face, and you just know somebody’s lookin’ out for ya.

ABBERLINE: It would waste a lot more of my time than yours.

KELLY: I’d give anything to have another one a them days!

ABBERLINE: James Kelly is not Jack the Ripper.

KELLY: Finally, he’s starting to catch on!
