Act II Flashcards
9: Attention maybe
3: You keep coming up with these bright sayings….they pay 2 dollars.
What does that have to do with a man’s life? Why might the old man have lied? You have the right to be heard.
(Yes, I’ll take one)
3: Well I disagree
4: Lets hear him through anyway
But supposing…
10: and how they mean it!
Well, let me ask you this. Do you really think…
7: why don’t we have them run the trial over again for you just so you get everything straight?
The bedroom is down he hall somewhere. Do you know? Do you know exactly where it is? Please. A man’s life is as stake. Do you know?
3: He’s an old man, you saw that, half the time he was confused. How can he be positive about anything? Well ah u know..
No I don’t know, maybe you know.
And this is the hall, Here’s the front door to the apartment and here are the steps.

9: For an old man who uses a walker its a long walk.
3: Wyd?

6: Let him do it
4: I cant see any harm in it. Foolish, but go ahead.
Hand me a chair please. All right. This is the bedroom door. How far would you say it is from here to that wall?
6: I’d say it was 20 feet.
2: Just about
20 feet is close enough. All right, from here to the door and back is about 40 feet. It’s shorter than the length of the hall the old man had to move through. Wouldn’t you say that?
2: I have
When you want me to start, stamp your foot. That’ll be the body falling.
2: We’ll time you from there
Let’s say he keeps his walker right at his bedside. Right?
