Act 1 Scene 10

Question 1

H: Mail for you, Jake. Looks fancy!
J: Thanks, Harry.
H: Got that tuxedo dry cleaned for ya.
J: What? Oh, actually–
H: Put your wallet away. Cleaner owed me a favor. Saw his kids playing with matches down by Middle River. Taught them a lesson, though.
J: Your jacket’s all burnt.
H: All in the name of fire safety. Lucky for me, ice cracked under my feet. Put those flames out real quick. I guess I’m just blessed.
