• Dialogue: Leo Frank's Cell

(We are in Leo Frank's cell at Fulton Tower. LEO is in the same clothes we saw him in before. AGUARD enters with a tray of food. LEO sniffs it.)
LEO
What's this?
GUARD
Your dinner.
LEO
You expect me to eat this?
(The GUARD shrugs.)
LEO
I have had nothing in my stomach since last night. Not even coffee. For your information, I am under a physician's care. I have an extremely delicate stomach. I am required to eat regular meals at regular times and I do not eat grease. This is all grease. Take it away.
(The GUARD takes it back. HE turns to go.)
Bring me an apple and some coffee.
(The GUARD snorts out a laugh and turns to go.)
GUARD
Uh-huh. Got you some company, Leo.
(HE beckons, LUCILLE enters. The GUARD lets her in the cell, locks the door and leaves.)
LUCILLE
Leo.
LEO
What?
LUCILLE
How are you?
LEO
How do you think?
LUCILLE
Well, I brought these clean clothes.
(SHE hands him a package which HE opens to find toilet articles, change of underwear,etc.)
LEO
I won't be needing them.
LUCILLE
Better safe than sorry.
LEO
Safe? You think I’m safe? Are you out of your mind? Do you have eyes in your head? Look at me! I have never committed an illegal act in all my life and here I am locked up in a jail house, Lucille! Look where they expect me to go to the toilet! Did you see that plate of pig fat and corn bread they expected me to eat? Do you have any idea of what spending the night here would be like?
LUCILLE
I just wanted you to be comfortable.
LEO
Well I’m not. I’m not comfortable and I’m not safe and I’m mighty sorry.
LUCILLE
Leo— (SHE moves to touch him, HE jerks away.)
LEO
Just… Go on home, Lucille. (HE calls out) Guard!
