19.Hey Oscar! What’s that? My God! There’s a guy lying here. Oscar, help me!
20.Keep calm Daris. Don’t touch him.
21.I don’t think he’s dead. He’s opening his eyes. Oscar!
22.”The rest of the story is simple. I found out that I drifted up the coast of Florida. where I’ve got a number of friends in the import-export business who took good care of me. After a week or so in hospital, I was quite myself again.
23. So that’s how I went through hell, Annie, and came out again alive.
24. So you killed Roger Temple?
25. What do you mean? He was probably dead already. Anyway, he was a criminal,
a murderer and a drug smuggler.
26. The thing is, I really don’t understand why you’ve been hiding four yeas. If the police aren’t after you and Temple and Mr. P are both dead…
27. Oh, that. Well, Mr. P had a lot of very important friends. Look my sweet, we haven’t touched our food yet.
28. This tastes superb.
29. I don’t like the smell of mine. It smells kind of funny.
30. Wait till you taste it, Annie, it’s quite wonderful.
31. I’m not even all that hungry. Anyway, what have you been doing for a living since then?
32. Oh, you know, the same old import-export business. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks, as the saying goes.
33. I still don’t see why you had to come here under a false name.
34. Oh no!
35. Hey, what’s the matter?
36. Those two men are cops, and they’re coming this way. Here’s a couple of hundred dollars to pay the bill. I’ll be in touch. I’ll explain everything.
