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.
