Start:
HALLY: The old Jubilee Boarding House. Sixteen rooms with board and lodging, rent in advance and one week’s notice. I haven’t thought about it for donkey’s years … and I don’t think that’s an accident. God, was I glad when we sold it and moved out.

End:
HALLY: Sam used to wink at me when you weren’t looking to show me it was time to let you win.
WILLIE: So then you two didn’t play fair.
HALLY: It was for your benefit, Mr. Malopo, which is more than being fair. It was an act of self-sacrifice.
