LUCILLE
Leo, it’s just like you said . . .

LEO
Darling, it’s wonderful . . .

LUCILLE
Leo, I still can’t believe…

LEO
Yes, and I know it, but
Listen, we both have to hurry
The Gov’nor will not be in office
Forever . . .
Find out why Minnie told all those lies
Make sure she tells the truth!
I know . . .Hurry!

LUCILLE
Leo, we’re doing it-
Look, I am hurrying!
I wasn’t born yesterday!Minnie told all those…
Leo, I still can’t believe it…I know!
Make sure she tells the truth…

LIGHTS UP on Minnie McKnight.

MINNIE
I done told the truth. Mr. Frank, he say go get his shoes, so I go yonder in the bedroom and I see a pillow and sheets on the floor, just like I said in the courthouse.

LUCILLE
That’s not all you said, Minnie?

MINNIE
I ain’t said none but the God’s honest truth.

LUCILLE
You said I told you Mr. Frank made me sleep on the floor.

SLATON
You’re not gonna get in any more trouble, Minnie. Just tell us what happened.

MINNIE
The men take me down to the jailhouse and then,
Mr. Dorsey keeps askin’ me over and over.
He write sumpin’ down and he tells me to sign it,
And what else was I s’posed to do, Miz Lucille?

SLATON
Thank you, Minnie.

MINNIE
I’m sorry I done it, but what else was I s’posed to do?

Lights rise on Leo and Lucille.

LEO
No, this isn’t over!
Not while I have you.
Not while ev’ry dream we had
Is somehow coming true!
I mean it’s past all comprehending:
Look what you can do!
God, I was such a stupid fool
to think i’d do it all without you,
But this is not over . . .

LUCILLE
No, this isn’t over!
It’s exactly what I hoped…I will speak for you,Leo!Look what I can do!
