Nobody ain't talkin' o' Adelbert here. [To SELMA.] I'll knock your head off for you if you don' tell me this minute what's become o' the child o' Bruno an' the Polish girl!
SELMA
Why, it's behind your own partition, Mr. John!
JOHN
Where is it, Jette?
MRS. JOHN
I ain't goin' to tell that.
The child begins to cry.
JOHN
[To SELMA.] The truth! Or I'll turn you over to the police, y'understan'? See this rope? I'll tie you hand and foot!
