.......touch us again! We're gonna get what we want, Bobbie. Or we're gonna TAKE IT! Just like
.......respectable citizens, little sister. The big time, all the right company. And I'm gonna have me a
.......respectable woman. The money man said he wanted me to settle down & I know who it's gonna
.......be with. She belongs to somebody else right now, but she won't be his forever. Because she's
.......gonna be mine! And I don't care what I have to do to get her!"

.......they did to me"... Lk - "Laura, I don't know if you'll ever be able to understand this, but
.......sometimes what appears to be cruelty is in FACT, an act of love. And I want you to remember

.......because i guess I did somehow, someway, say or do something that made you think...".... Lk - "Oh
.......no, no don't start that, you didn't do that. That was something that I needed to believe. I needed to
.......believe that you wanted me. And I'm sorry that I said that to you cause I didn't mean to lay some
.......kind of guilt trip on you"... Lra - "I don't hate you. I don't have enough emotion left for hate. Tell

.......way that she's been acting I KNOW that it is possible".. Lk - "Well, if she knows who it was,
.......then why doesn't she identify him?"... Scty - "Because she is scared of him, that's why. Listen,
.......I wanna ask you something about your Disco. Now is there anybody there that's been hawking
.......her alot? Like any customers, any employees, anything like that"... Lk - "Scotty, no that's not
.......happening. If I had ever seen any of that going on I would have stopped it, believe me"...
.......Scty - "Yeah, I know you would Luke. It's that Laura is so naive about trusting people."...
.......Lk - "Yeah, she definitely trusts people too much!"... Scty - "Well, listen, it's not your problem
.......it's mine. I just gotta figure out what to do about it. And of course the question is, I mean,
.......where do I start?"

Luke comes to see Laura
Luke says "I ran into Scotty in the park"... Lra - "You did?"... Lk - "Yes, & he said some things that
.......bothered me"... Lra - "Such as?"... Lk - "Well, he feels that you're hiding something from him.
.......He feels that you're slipping away from him & from reality. And he also seems to think that you
.......could identify the man who raped you but your afraid to do that"... Lra - "What else did you & my
.......husband discuss about me?"... Lk - "Well, he wanted me to keep an eye out at the Disco for anyone
.......who tried to hawk you"... Lra - "How nice. Why don't you do that Luke?"... Lk - "Look, Laura,
.......what do you want me to say? What would make you happy? Do you want me to tell him what
.......happened & how it happened?"... Lra - "I don't ever want Scotty to know what happened & how
.......it happened, as you put it. But there is one thing that I have to face up to. If what you did to me was
.......really, really, rape... brutal, total rape... then why did I run away?"... Lk - "Because you were afraid
.......of me"... Lra - "So I ran to the park? I ran to the park & pretended that everything happened there?"...
.......Lk - "You were confused, you were in shock, you didn't know what... " ... Lra - "And maybe I was
.......protecting you"... Lk - "What?!!"... Lra - "When I started to lie, maybe I was lying all along to protect
.......you, to protect myself, maybe I was really lying to protect myself"... Lk - "What are you talking about?"...
.......Lra - "I had a converstation today with a friend of mine & I learned some very interesting things about
.......a girl being raped by someone that she knows"... Lk - "Uh, well, what do you mean?"... Lra - "The
.......girl, the victim, she feels that she might have brought on the rape by something she said or did, so she
.......feels guilty wondering if she did something, without realizing it, to lead the man on"... Lk - "No, No
.......Laura, no!"... Lra - "You said it to me once before, Luke, that you thought for one moment that I
.......wanted you the same way that you wanted me"... Lk - "No, I..."... Lra - "Let me finish, please. If
.......that is true, then aren't I partly responsible for what happened that night?"... Lk - "No, Laura, you're
.......not. In any way"... Lra - "I don't want to talk about it any more. I just don't want to talk about it
.......anymore. I don't wanna remember any more of it!" [Luke leaves]
