You saw a ghost? he asks--are you serious? I told you you'd think I'd lost my mind, says Vicki. I don't think that for a minute, he says, but I do think you'd better explain. How can I explain something that defies description, something that was unreal, something I KNOW couldn't exist? asks Vicki--I saw the ghost of Bill Malloy--he ran the cannery for Mrs. Stoddard--he was killed on Lookout Point, and he fell from the rocks. I know all about him, my dad told me, says Frank--this thing you saw, it looked like Malloy. It was Mr. Malloy, says Vicki, it even sang his favorite song, "What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor"--and it spoke to me. It SPOKE to you? he asks. Yes, he told me he'd been killed by someone in Collinsport, and I must leave because I'm in danger, explains Vicki. Where did you see this whatever it was you saw? he asks. In a locked up room in the closed-off section of the house, she says--it appeared from no where.[/spoiler]
Because you don't happen to agree with the jury, accuses Roger, you think you can come here and steal Collinwood! Not steal, says Burke, I've never stolen anything--not even five years out of a man's life. Are you insinuating that I stole five years from your life? asks Roger. I didn't give them away, says Burke--I didn't sell or lend them, therefore, they must have been stolen--by you--you should have served that time, not me. You have not one iota of proof for what you say! says Roger. I will have, says Burke, see, I don't put much faith in the old adage that murder will out--because I don't think it will out by itself, it has to be pried out with some sort of lever. And you think you have found that lever, says Roger. I think Bill Malloy found it, says Burke--and what he can find, I can. It is all dead, buried and forgotten, says Roger. Not forgotten, not for one minute, says Burke, not have I forgotten the reason I came to Collinsport![/spoiler]
