Calling #2

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.
