MRS. VERNON. Don't pint it.

JOE. That—the butt end—come on!

BOLLINGER. A butcher-knife's better than nothing.

LIZBETH. Here! [Hands knife to BOLLINGER.

DAVE. [As LIZBETH holds him.] You don't think I'm scared.

Exeunt BOLLINGER and JOE.

MRS. VERNON. I don't want you to shoot anybody, Joe; pint it in the air.

DAVE exits; when off calls "Good-bye!"

MRS. VERNON. [Impatient in doorway.] I can't see what business it is of Dave's when they's three policemen in town; uniforms—where's Em'ly?

LIZBETH. Jim took her home.
