    You wonder why he cleared out tonight, do you? Do you? I'll tell you why. I can tell you. You don't know, do you? You don't know - do you? No, that's right. But Mr. Shaw does. Mr. Shaw knows. He's out tonight so he can be amongst men. Men. That's why. Yes. That's why. You didn't know that, did you? You're too stupid, to know he's sick in his guts of being in a house full of women. Christ!
