#dialogueforaplay (tweets 76-90) The Gravy Plot Thickens
#dialogueforaplay 76
DCI: It’s my opinion that the ‘perpetrator’ was known to the ‘victim’.
PC: They were married, sir.
DCI: Precisely!
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 77
DCI: Constable, I want you to round up the witnesses and have them all gathered in the… here… In ten minutes.
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 78
DCI: I shall now round up the ‘stiff’ and the ‘murderer’ and then we shall have one of those ‘Poirot-like’ reveals.
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 79
The police leave in opposite directions. Then recross the room, leave again. The ‘stiff’ returns, resumes place.
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 80
Nothing happens for a few minutes. Apart from the ‘stiff’ trying to get comfy. The phone rings. Nobody answers it.
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 81
Phone stops. Dr P enters, answers the unringing phone.
Dr P: Hello… Yes… 14 ounces in a pound, no. 16! Bye!
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 82
Dr P: Are you still dead?
Stiff: Me?
De P: Nobody else here.
Stiff: Dead as a Do.
Dr P: Dodo?
Stiff: Not that dead!
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 83
Dr P: So, there is no victim.
Stiff: I’m teaching them a lesson.
Dr P: ‘Them’ are my family!
Dr P shoots the stiff.
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 84
Dr P leaves. The Police et al return (not Dr P).
DCI: Hello, hello, hello…
Omnes: Hello!
DCI: I heard a gunshot!
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 85
PC: I can see those months at Detective School weren’t wasted.
Dr 1: The dead man!
Omnes: What?
Dr1: He’s… dead!
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 86
Dramatic Chords
Dr 1: No, he’s really dead. Before, he was only pretentious!
Stiff: Pretending!
Dr 1: Pretending.
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 87
DCI: So, he’s ‘really’ dead?
Dr 1: Really! I should know – I am a doctor!
Dr P enters.
Dr P: No, that is not true!
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 88
DCI: Not a doctor?
PC: Not ‘dead?’
Dr 1: Yes, I am not a ‘dead’ doctor.
Dr P: Nor a ‘doctor!’
Dr1: What about Nora?
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 89
DCI: It seems a murder ‘may’ or ‘may not’ have occurred, I shall go to any lengths.
Dr1: Are you paid by the yard?
Tbc
#dialogueforaplay 90
Dr P: What about my ‘impersonating a doctor’ accusation?
DCI: I take that most seriously. Constable, arrest him!
