The Stranger : [suddenly grabs her arm] They send you to take me back?
Jane : [frightened] No. Who?
The Stranger : [cautiously looks over his shoulder] Don't you know? The people who lock you up.
Jane : [emphatically] Oh, no. Of course not.
The Stranger : [with suspicious, narrow-eyed look] How do I know I can trust you?
Jane : [nervously] Well, they... they, they wouldn't send a woman, would they?
The Stranger : [with relieved happiness] No.
[laughs]
The Stranger : No, they... they wouldn't send a woman.
[laughs, then continues dispassionately]
The Stranger : The only person who ever was kind to me was a woman. She's dead now.
Jane : Oh... Why? Why do they want to lock you up?
The Stranger : [matter-of-factly] Oh, so they can hurt me. They... they put you in a shirt with, uh... long sleeves and... they pour ice water on you.
