What knife?
FICSUR
The kitchen knife. I’ve got a pocket-knife, but if he shows fight, we’ll let him have the big knife.
LILIOM
What for? If he gets ugly, I’ll bat him one over the head that’ll make him squint for the rest of his life.
FICSUR
You’ve got to have something on you. You can’t slit his throat with a bat over the head.
LILIOM
Must his throat be slit?
