10 to Midnight Page #2

- lll try and raise my level of performance.

That shouldnt be too hard.

l used to live in this neighbourhood.

That building was once a drugstore.

The owner was hooked on morphine.

His wife tried to have him put away,

so he killed her.

The jury found him temporarily insane.

Six months in the nuthouse

and he was pronounced cured.

A week later he shot his parole officer.

You sure this is the right street?

lts the right address.

Mr and Mrs F L Johnson.

- Oh, jeez.

- Whats the matter? You know them?

God, yes.

Their daughter and my daughter,

they were friends. God.

- You wait here.

- Wouldnt it be better...

No, wait here.

l dont believe it. Leo.

lts good to see you.

Marge. Come here, Margie.

Excuse my appearance. l work

on the night shift now. l just got up.

Leo Kessler!

Good Lord, look at you.

You havent changed a bit.

- How long has it been?

- What is it, Leo?

- Can we talk inside?

- Come in.

Whats wrong? What is it?

Dont let your feelings become involved.

Jesus, cant you drive any faster?

Before... whatever his name is -

Dale Anders. Who else?

She dated a lot of fellas.

Never a night somebody didnt call up.

What are the names of the guys

she went to bed with?

l wish we didnt have to ask this,

but were looking for a motive.

All the names you can remember.

Before Dale, there was Larry Williams,

Lou Porter, George Latham.

There was a guy she didnt go to bed with

but who called up all the time.

Mexican or something. Every once

in a while hed say something in Spanish.

- Whats his name?

- Hed never say his name.

All he called up for was to,

you know, talk dirty.

- Did he talk dirty to both of you?

- Just to Betty.

Start checking out these names,

find out if any of them spoke Spanish.

All right, Lieutenant. Thank you, Karen.

Karen, l know this is hard on you, but ld

like you to show me Bettys possessions.

Everything.

l hope you wont make her look cheap.

She wasnt, honestly.

- lf only youd known her.

- l knew her.

And though this body be destroyed,

yet shall l see God,

whom l shall see for myself and mine

eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.

We brought nothing into this world,

and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

The Lord gave

and the Lord hath taken away.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Unto almighty God we commend

the soul of our sister departed,

and we commit her body to the ground,

earth to earth, ashes to ashes,

dust to dust,

in sure and certain hope

of the resurrection unto eternal life

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.

- Thank you very much.

- lm very sorry.

- Thank you.

- God bless.

- Hello, sweetheart.

- Hi, Daddy.

- How are you?

- How am l?
