ORIN--(in a pitiful pleading whisper) Vinnie! (He stares at her with the lost stricken expression for a moment more--then the obsessed wild look returns to his eyes--with harsh mockery) Another act of justice, eh?

[...]

End:

(He laughs exultantly.) You've heard me! You're here in the house now! You're calling me! You're waiting to take me home! (He turns and strides toward the door.)
