Matthews
Didn't I predict you would tell me that?
Trim
Yes, I said so, and I will continue to say so. When I tell the truth,
I fear nobody.
Matthews
I have to admire the effrontery of this gallows-bird.
Trim (wishing to escape)
Oh—if you're getting irritated.
Matthews
Stay put, or I'll brain you.
Trim
Is there something I can do to serve you? You have only to speak.
Matthews
And you, you have only two choices to make.
Trim
Let us see.
Matthews
Take two pounds or be pounded on the head twenty times.
Trim
Simple choice. I'll take the two pounds.
