Colored man! Where?
HARRY: Colored man! It's a trap! (Seeing no one, they turn.) ALICE: (to REDDY) Oh, pardon me. Aren't you a colored person? REDDY: Me! Colored? You never see a colored man with hair like that, did you? (Points lantern at his head.) This isn't my real face, lady. Why, out of office hours, I've a complexion like cream and roses. (Indignantly.) Colored man! ALICE: I beg your pardon, but I can't see very well. Don't you think it would be more cheerful if we had a little more light? HATCH: No! (To REDDY.) Drop that. We've got to go. (To ALICE.) And before we go, I've got to fix you. |
