(A visitor’s room in Fulton Jail. A table, two chairs, and an 18" partition separates the prisoner from the visitor. During the meeting, the GUARD stands upstage behind the partition, preventing LUCILLE from handing LEO the basket of food.) LEO Did you pay the bill to Jacobs Drug Store this month? LUCILLE It just came yesterday. LEO We don’t want people thinking we can’t pay our bills. LUCILLE I’ll tend to it this evening. LEO Don’t forget. LUCILLE I put a jar of watermelon pickles in with your dinner. LEO And did the life insurance bill come? It should’ve by now. LUCILLE No, not yet. LEO Well, pay it the second it comes. I’m sure they’re just looking for a chance to drop us. LUCILLE (ill at ease) Leo, I think I’m going to visit Aunt Miriam in Savannah. LEO I see. When? LUCILLE I’m not sure. A week or two. LEO Well, just be back when the trial starts. LUCILLE That’s why I’m going, Leo. LEO What? LUCILLE The trial. I don’t think I can stand it. LEO Well you have to stand it! How will it look if you run out of town? LUCILLE I don’t want everybody staring at me when they say all those awful things about you in the courtroom. LEO That’s absurd, Lucille. It’s all just a bunch of lies and nonsense. Anyway, they’ll be staring at me, not you. LUCILLE And the mother of that poor little girl! I don’t want to see her! LEO I don’t like the way you’re talking. LUCILLE I’m just telling you how I feel, Leo. LEO You have to be there! LUCILLE I’ll be here tomorrow with your dinner. (SHE starts to go.) LEO Lucille! (SHE turns.) LUCILLE What is it? LEO You have to be there!
