THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED
Amy
I must have been crazy that night.
Joe
We both was . . . but there’s no use sayin’ that now.
Amy
No. . . . Tony’ll be crazy. [She lifts her head, recognizing the inevitable.] I guess the doc’s right. . . . I guess I’ll have to go with you. . . . Somebody’s got to help me out. . . . There ain’t nobody but you.
Joe
That’s all right. . . . I’m willing. . . .
Amy
And afterwards . . . Oh, my God! . . . And Tony’ll be thinking that all the time . . . you and me . . . Oh! [This is an exclamation of unutterable disgust.] Poor Tony! You don’t know how good he’s been to me. And all the time he was so crazy for a kid. . . . Oh, I can’t stick around here now! I got to go. I got to go quick.
Joe
I’m ready, if you are.
