1 quote The Stranger Scenes with The Stranger
1 scene 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 Oh, no. Of course not.
The Stranger How do I know I can trust you?
Jane [nervously]
Well, they... they, they wouldn't send a woman, would they?
The Stranger No. [laughs] No, they... they wouldn't send a woman. [laughs, then continues dispassionately] 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 Oh, so they can hurt me. They... they put you in a shirt with, uh... long sleeves and... they pour ice water on you.
