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.
