Gerald
I'm sorry, Sheila. It was all over and done last summer. I don't come into this suicide business.

Sheila
I didn’t think I did, either.

Gerald
Neither of us does, but don't say anything to the inspector.

Sheila
About you and this girl?

Gerald
He need not know.

Sheila
Ha ha ha! He knows already. I hate to think how much he knows that we don't know yet. You’ll see.

Inspector
Well?
