(To HATCH.)
Won't you join them?

HATCH:
No.

(Through the scene which follows, REDDY and HARRY continue to eat
and drink heartily.)

ALICE:
No? Well, then, while they're having supper, you and I will talk.
If you're going to gag me soon, I want to talk while I can.
(Rises and hands box to him.)
Have a cigar?

HATCH:
(takes cigar)
Thanks.

ALICE:
(standing with hand on back of chair)
Now, I want to ask you some questions. You are an intelligent man.
Of course, you must be, or you couldn't have kept out of jail for
twenty years. To get on in your business, a man must be
intelligent, and he must have nerve, and courage. Now--with those
qualities, why, may I ask-- why are you so stupid as to be a
burglar?

HARRY:
Stupid!
