• Dialogue: A Visitors' Room At Fulton Jail

(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!
