Gershwin: Porgy and Bess

0

[DETECTIVE, spoken]
Wait for us at the corner, Al
We'll put the widow through first
Come on down here, Serena Robbins, and make it damn quick!
[ANNIE, spoken]
Hmm?
[ANNIE]
Serena been very sick in her bed three day
And I been here with her all the time
[DETECTIVE, spoken]
The hell, she has
You tell her to come down here
Or I'm gonna get the wagon and run her in
[SERENA, spoken]
Oh, oh, oh
[DETECTIVE, spoken]
Where were you last night, Serena Robbins?
[SERENA]
I been sick in this bed three day and three night
[ANNIE]
And we been nursin' her all that time
[OTHER WOMAN]
That's the God's truth
[CORONER, spoken]
Would you swеar to that?
[SERENA, ANNIE & OTHER WOMAN]
Yes boss, we swear to that
[CORONER, spoken]
Thеre you are, an airtight alibi
[DETECTIVE, spoken]
Now Serena, just two months ago, right here
Crown killed your husband, didn't he?
Answer me!
You either talk here or in jail
Did Crown kill your husband, yes or no?
[SERENA, ANNIE & OTHER WOMAN]
We swear to that, boss
[DETECTIVE, spoken]
And last night Crown got his right here, didn't he?
[ANNIE, spoken]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
[ANNIE]
Go 'long boss
[ANNIE, spoken]
Ain't that gentleman say we is a alibi?
[DETECTIVE, spoken]
Was Crown killed here, yes or no?
[SERENA, ANNIE & OTHER WOMAN]
We ain't see nothin', boss
We been in this room three day and night
And the window been closed
[DETECTIVE, spoken]
Look at me, Serena Robbins
Do you mean to tell me that the man that killed your husband
Was bumped off under your window
And you didn't know it?
[SERENA, ANNIE & OTHER WOMAN]
We ain't see nothin', boss
We been in this room
[SERENA, ANNIE, OTHER WOMAN & DETECTIVE]
Three days and night
[ANNIE]
And the window been closed
[DETECTIVE, spoken]
You needn't do that one again
Oh, hell!
You might as well argue with a parrot
You never break their story
But I'll get you a witness for your inquest
Step over here, we'll put the cripple through
Come out here now, both of you!
Step lively here!
