Monroe Stahr:
Listen.
[He comes out from behind his desk]

Monroe Stahr:
Has your office got a stove in it that lights with a match?
Boxley:
I think so.
Monroe Stahr:
Suppose you're in your office. You've been "fighting duels" all day.
[He throws up his hands wildly]

Monroe Stahr:
You're exhausted.
[He throws himself down at a table]

Monroe Stahr:
This is you.
[Stahr points to the door]

Monroe Stahr:
A girl comes in. She doesn't see you. She takes off her gloves. She opens her purse. She dumps it out on the table.
[Stahr pantomimes the action]

Monroe Stahr:
You watch her. This is you.
[He looks out of the corner of his eye]

Monroe Stahr:
Now... She has two dimes, a matchbox, and a nickel.
[He bounces nickel on the tabletop]

Monroe Stahr:
She leaves the nickel on the table. She puts the two dimes back into her purse. She takes the gloves... they're black.
[Stahr kneels on the floor]

Monroe Stahr:
Puts them into the stove. Lights a match.
[He blows out an imaginary match]

Monroe Stahr:
Suddenly, the telephone rings. She picks it up. She listens. She says, "l've never owned a pair of black gloves in my life!"
[Stahr slams down the receiver]

Monroe Stahr:
She hangs up. Kneels by the stove. Lights another match. Suddenly, you notice...
[He abruptly points]

Monroe Stahr:
There's another man in the room! Watching every move the girl makes.
[Stahr sits back down, behind his desk once more, and smiles triumphantly]

Boxley:
[asking as if against his will]
What happens?
Monroe Stahr:
l don't know. l was just making pictures.
Boxley:
What... what was the nickel for?
Monroe Stahr:
Jane, what was the nickel for?
Stahr's Secretary:
The nickel was for the movies.
Boxley:
What do you pay me for? I don't understand the damn stuff.
Monroe Stahr:
Yes, you do. Or you wouldn't have asked about the nickel.
