28. Good morning. Mrs. Temple! Have a seat, won’t you? Dr Hargreaves told me about you.
29. That I was going crazy?
30. Are you going crazy?
31. No, I meant: was that what Dr Hargreaves said?
32. You said it, not Dr.Hargreaves.
33. Look, what am I here for? I just wanted some pills to get to sleep, that’s all.
34. You wanted some pills to get to sleep.
35. Yes! Is there anything wrong with that?
36. Do you think there is anything wrong with it
37. I don’t know. Look, why do you keep asking me questions?
38. How do you feel about me asking you questions?
39. I don’t know! Look, what do you want me to tell you?
40. What do you think you should tell me?
41. Alright, I’ll tell you, damn it! I’ll tell you everything! My husband’s just gone away for work, again!
42. Your husband’s gone away
43. Well alright, he isn’t my husband. But we’re engaged!
44. You’re engaged.
45. My real husband’s in prison.
46. Your husband’s in prison.
47. Well, not exactly.
48. Not exactly your husband, or not exactly in prison?
49. He’s escaped from prison, actually.
50. He’s escaped from prison?
51. Yes, and Harry’s trying to catch him.
52. Er…sorry. who’s Harry?
53. My fiance.
54. Your fiance is trying to catch your husband?
55. That’s right. He’s a detective.
56. Sorry. I’m not with you. Who’s a detective?
57. Harry is, my finace!
58. Your fiance, who’s a detective, is trying to catch your husband, who’s escaped from prison.
59. I see. And what’s your role in all this?
60. I just stay at home, waiting! I’m always waiting!
61. Who are you waiting for: the detective, or the prisoner?
62. What do you mean? I’m waiting for Harry, of course! When he’s caught Roger he’ll come back to me--I guess.
63. You mean, when your fiance has caught your husband, he---your fiance will come back to you?
64. Yes, I think so. Yes, my Harry will come back to me, I’m sure he will. He isn’t having an affair!
65. But your husband is having an affair?
66. Well, he was; Before Harry arrested him. With my best friend, too! Some friend!
67. Sorry Mrs. Temple. I’ve lost you again. Your fiance arrested your best friend?
68. No, Roger had an affair with Kristi, before Harry arrested him.
69. I see. Is Kristi a man or a woman?
70. She’s a woman, of course. Why-you don’t think Roger’s gay, do you?
71. Of course not, no. Look, Mrs. Temple, I don’t really think there is anything I can do for you.
72. Would you like a prescription for Oblivac?
73. No, no, I’ll be alright. I’m feeling much better now, thanks. I’ll go home, maybe have a drink, listen to a record.
74. Harry’ll probably call me tonight.
