POLICEMAN. Theodore Brooks--you knew him? TIPPY. Yes. What happened? POLICEMAN. Now take it calm. MARTIN. All right. Go on. POLICEMAN. Train. Subway train. TIPPY. Good God! MARTIN. Is he dead? POLICEMAN. Killed outright. It was suicide. Plenty of witnesses. He was standing with her, waiting for the train. He jerked away and jumped just as the train came in. She'd have gone over with him if somebody hadn't grabbed her. TIPPY. God, how awful! POLICEMAN. It was pretty messy. LAURA. She needs a doctor. POLICEMAN. Tried to get her to go to Bellevue ... MARTIN. There's a doctor three doors down. I'll get him. POLICEMAN. I guess there's nothing more I can do. I'll wait outside and see if the doc's coming. [To TIPPY.] Your man's at the morgue if you want him. TIPPY. Yes--yes--thanks ... [POLICEMAN _goes._] KEN. [_Who has become aware, looks bewilderedly from one to the other._] What's up, Tippy? What's the matter? TIPPY. [_Quietly._] Ted's dead, Ken. KEN. Dead?--Dead? TIPPY. He killed himself. He ... [_His voice breaks._] KEN. Dead! [_Pause._] The lucky bastard!
