Leo is on the phone with the police. Sara watches, increasingly impatient.
Leo: Yes. Yes, he's standing right in front of me. I don't know. He slapped a beer out of my hand. I don't know what he wants. Yeah, I can ask. Hang on.
Leo leans forward.
Leo: Are you a burglar?
Sara: A burglar?
Leo: A burglar. A robber. A thief. A bandit.
Sara: I know what a burglar is. And no, I am not here to steal anything.
Leo returns to the phone.
Sara: He says he isn't a burglar. Hold on, I'll ask.
Leo leans forward.
Leo: Are you sure?
Sara holds up one hand.
Sara: I swear.
Leo returns to the phone.
Leo: He swears he isn't a burglar. Uh huh. Okay. I'll tell him.
Leo leans forward.
Leo: They believe you.
