AH HA!
"Ah ha?", what?
You liar!
What are you talking about?
You said my house was on fire! You liar!
I said no such thing.
Another lie!?
I said. "The house is on fire..." I didn't say your house is on fire. I didn't say, "Pantalone's house is on fire!"
Well, .... I thought...
Assumed!
Yes! I assumed it was my house and...

He's dead.

Dead! You killed him!
You're joking.
I'm not a man to joke about the savage murder of my dearest friend.
Oh, Harlequino. Harlequino! So young! So very young! All of life was stretched out before you. And now...now... nothing but a pauper's grave. Oh, my dear, Dead, friend...

Get on with it!
"...You have seen everything. You must tell everything. Justice must prevail."
What have I done?

What must I pay?
Plenty!
Are we talking damnation or ducats?
Ducats! Five hundred of them to seal my lips!
Seal your lips!? For five hundred ducats I could have your mouth surgically removed!
Five hundred ducats or I tell the world!
Five hundred...
MURDERER!!! KILLER!! BUTCHER OF INNOCENTS!!
STOP!!! I'll pay! I'll pay!
Good! I'll get rid of the body.
How?
If I tell you it will cost you.
Then don't! I'd have to mortgage my house. Five hundred ducats!
Stop wasting time.
You have no heart.
I have an empty purse. Go get the money!
Right now? Where am I going to get five hundred ducats on the spur of the moment?
MURDERER!!! KILLER!!! BUTCHER!!!

Hurry!!! My lips are just getting warmed up!
