He – he hit me . . . struck me with his walking stick. He – he tried to kill me!
No, but he was here. We just happened to meet. . . . We got into an argument . . . and then (Groans) . . . my head!
Six. (Enraged) And now – now he wants to add my daughter to the list. She’s only nineteen!
I’ve got to stop it. I’ve tried everything. I’ve begged him, pleaded with him, warned him to stay away from Ellen . . . but he only laughs at me. I – I’m going out of my mind
Talk to her! She won’t listen to me. She’s madly in love with him. . . . You know the kind of terrible fascination a man like that can have for a young girl. . . .
You have? . . . Wait a minute. Your face is familiar. Aren’t you . . .
Yes. . . . Mr. Cranston, can’t you help me? Isn’t there something you can do to stop this – this terrible marriage?
(Emphatically) Well, it is in my book. And I’m going to stop it, Mr. Cranston. . . . Do you hear? I’m going to stop it, if it’s the last thing I ever do!
