Ace: She said motive. Something about his juvenile conviction? Bess: Wait, did he do something violent? George: Like how violent? Like assault? Robbery? Ace:Manslaughter? Bess: Did he kill someone? Nancy: No, manslaughter’s different. Ace:But he did kill someone? Nancy: I don’t have all the facts. He-he never told me what happened.
Nancy: George is extra prickly today. Ace: She kicked a blood bucket. So the curse says she’ll be dead inside a year. Bess: Wait, you saw it? Ace: Yeah. There’s a lot of it. It’ll ruin your morning.

Nancy: Tales as in fictional stories. Bess: Yeah, okay. Ace: About how the nor'easter blows restless spirits ashore. Bess: Oh, dear. (entry bell jingles) Nancy: I’ll get it.
