Taylor.

Gee whiz, you meant it.

Norah.

[Aghast.] It wasn’t loaded.

Taylor.

Of course it wasn’t loaded. D’you think I’d have stood there and told you to shoot if it had been? I guess I ain’t thinking of committing suicide.

Norah.

And I almost admired you.

Taylor.

You hadn’t got no reason to. There’s nothing to admire about a man who stands five feet off a loaded gun that’s being aimed at him. He’s a darned fool, that’s all.
