Barbara: |
Oh!! |
|
Harry: |
What fools we were!! |
|
Barbara: |
To think of it!! All my old
silver!! It meant so much to me. |
|
Harry: |
And my new car. To think that he simply
drove off with everything in my car. That's what hurts me most. |
|
Barbara: |
What's so terrible too, is the
fools we've made of ourselves. |
|
Harry: |
I hardly dare call the police. They'll just laugh at us. |
|
Barbara: |
I'll never get over
it. Oh, Harry, it was all so unnecessary. That man!! How could he do
this to us after we'd put him
up? |
|
Harry: |
And his story didn't even hold
together. I feel such an idiot. |
