Q: And what did he say to that, ma’am?

A: Well, what do you expect he said? He said he was going to kill her. He was just screaming it for everyone to hear. But I leaned over to him conspiratorially, you know, and I said: put it in my pocket, thinking I should give it a try. Why not? More fruit, more punch.

I set out to digging up information. It wasn’t a great way to get started. I’m no cop. I don’t know anything about procedures. I just figured if I threw a card in, it might get drawn and who knows what the prize will be.

Q: What was the prize?

A: Well, it was quite unexpected, I’ll give you that. David just waltzed up the stairs as if it mattered who was resigned to all this and who wasn’t. I can’t begin to explain how many tears I’ve left to cry before I get to see the director. It seems everyone is trying to take some piece off of me. I can’t explain that.
