Stanley: not sure I need a child to tell me how to do my job anyway it’s obvious that he did it and everyone knows it he killed her and the guilt drove him to suicide.
Pip: and why are you so convinced Sal guilty.
Stanley: too many things to list evidence aside he was the boyfriend right and it’s always the boyfriend or the ex-boyfriend not only that Sal was Indian.
