A Taste of "Immaterial Matters"


From the new play….

REILLY thrusts the paper at CRANE.

REILLY
Read!

CRANE warily takes the paper.

CRANE
“Three fires of incendiary origin–“

REILLY
The other column.

CRANE
“Clifford Beekly has been diagnosed with acute insanity–“

REILLY
Further down.

CRANE
“An unknown man found hanging in Mr. Wilson Crowley’s barn–“

REILLY
Below the fold, Crane.

CRANE
There’s nothing below the fold but obituaries.

REILLY
Wrong. There’s nothing below the fold but customers.
