RITA

(dismayed) It … isn’t so!

TEACHER

You think I don’t know? I’m not blind … I can see out of the windows.

The TEACHER marches off into the wings and the class runs after her, leaving RITA JOE alone onstage.

RITA

That’s a lie! For God’s sake, tell the judge I have a good character … I am clean an’ honest … Everything you said is right, I’m never gonna argue again … I believe in God … an’ I’m from the country and lost like hell! Tell him!

She shakes her head sadly, knowing the extent of her betrayal.

They only give me eight hours to find somebody who knows me … An’ seven and a half hours is gone already!

The light on the scene dies.
