CAMPBELL: "I'll tell them they've just one chance in a hundred to
save their lives, and that one is open to them for just five minutes." LAWTON: "Tell my daughter that I've been here half an hour, and everybody knows I drove here with her." BEMIS: "Tell my son that the next time I'll walk, and let him drive." MRS. MILLER: "Tell Mr. Miller I found I had my fan after all." CURWEN: "And Mrs. Curwen that I've got her glove all right." He holds it up. MRS. ROBERTS, at a look of mystification and demand from her brother: "Never mind explanations, Willis. They'll understand, and we'll explain when you get back." LAWTON, examining the glove which CURWEN holds up: "Why, so it IS right!" CURWEN: "What do you mean?" LAWTON: "Were you sent back to get a LEFT glove?" CURWEN: "Yes, yes; of course." LAWTON: "Well, if you'll notice, this is a right one. The one at home is left." |
