What do you want?

Go and report to the police station!

They'll make you stand in the yard,

but you'll last out better.

You think I will?

What did you give him?

What is it?

They want it! Mother knows

And Kroly knows he's a weakling.

They're both sickly.

There will be no suspicion.

Do you think I'll go through with it?

Yes.

Do you know what you're drinking?

Over the sand hill.
