ALICE You can’t stand it, can you - not being the cleverest person in the room? LUTHER See, what you’re doing there, it’s called projection - ascribing your own weaknesses to someone else. ALICE I’ll tell you. If you want. LUTHER Tell me what? ALICE Where it is - what I did with it. And how. All you have to do is ask. (Beat)
Of course if I do that, the knowledge will be useless to you, having been come by so - feloniously. But I can feel that need to know, eating away at you. So I will tell you. All you have to do - is ask. He’s tempted beyond endurance to do just that. And she’s
tempted beyond endurance to tell. She approaches. Tentative at first. ALICE Ask me. LUTHER Do you want me to? ALICE Very much. Long beat. LUTHER No.
(shows her the wedding ring)
Stay away from Zoe. ALICE Make me. He grabs her - throws her into the wall. Holds her there. Hand at her throat. LUTHER Don’t make me.
