Cora Lister: [Flashback scene: Tom Lister is in his prison cell, recalling how he had given his wife Cora an exquisite fur coat] Tom... oh, Tom! It's the most beautiful thing in the whole world! Tom Lister: It belongs on you. Cora Lister: [Putting the coat on and admiring herself dreamily in the mirror] It makes me feel so... I don't know... like I was "somebody." Oh, Tom... Cora Lister: [Suddenly coming to her senses] Where'd you get it? Where'd the money come from? Where'd you get it! Tom Lister: Cora, I stole the money. I juggled the books and took three thousand dollars. Cora Lister: You? You STOLE? Why? Tom Lister: Darling, the way we were going, you wanting things - things you ought to have - and me strapped all the time... we were heading for a split-up. Don't you see? I just had to do it. Cora Lister: All my life, the one thing I've really wanted is a fur coat. I CAN'T give it up. I WON'T, Tom! Tom Lister: No, darling... Cora Lister: But what if something should happen? Tom Lister: Nothing that happens could matter, unless I lost you... [Loud, ominous knocking on door is heard, returning the scene back to Tom's prison cell]
