Script:
Scene 14
We open on Narrator down center stage.
Narrator: Aunt Alexandra had stopped talking about the Finch family, however they heard a lot from the town. “There’s his chillun.” or “Yonder’s some Finches” were somethings Scout heard when she and Jem would go to town. One Saturday when they were in town, some said “They c’n go loose and rape up the countryside for all of ‘em who run this county care,” that reminded Scout of a question she meant to ask Atticus.
(Lights go up of the living room)
Atticus is in a chair, reading a newspaper. Scout is standing next to Atticus. Aunt Alexandra is sitting in the corner sewing. Jem is on the sofa, reading a sports magazine.
Scout: What’s rape? (To Atticus)
Atticus: (sigh) Rape is carnal knowledge of a female by force and without consent.
Scout: …show more content…
(Dill slowly starts to come out from under the bed)
Jem: God Almighty.
Dill: I’m ‘bout to perish, got anything to eat?
Scout: (Gets milk and corn bread) (awestruck) How’d you get here?
Dill: I was bound by chains and left to die in my basement, by my new father, who doesn’ like me. I secretly kept alive on raw field peas by a passing farmer who heard my cries for help. I worked myself free, by pulling the chains from the wall. While I was still in the wrist manacles, I wandered two miles to a small animal show. I traveled all over Mississippi until my infallible sense of direction told me I was in Abbott County and I walked the rest of the way.
Jem: How’d you get here?
Dill: I took $13 out of my mother’s purse, caught the 9 o'clock from Meridian, and got off at Maycomb Junction. Walked about ten or eleven miles, then rode the rest of the way clinging to the backboard of a cotton wagon. I was under your bed for about two hours. I thought you would never go to bed.
Jem: They must not know you’re here. We’d know if they were lookin’ for you.
Dill: Think they’re still searchin’ all the picture shows in
