Rodney. I wonder if I’d better? What do you think, Peale?
Peale. I don’t know.
Mary. Do telephone him right away. (Crosses to door lower R.) Now I must try to fix the Edison man and the landlord, or they’ll be in here. (To Peale) What can I say to them?
Peale. I don’t know.
Mary. Oh, I’ll say you’re both out. (She exits door lower R.)
Peale. That’ll be a new one.
Rodney. Do you happen to know the sheriff?
Peale. Not yet. I’d like to have a pull enough to get a cell with a southern exposure.
Rodney. What are we going to do?
Peale. I don’t know.
