Adam, Jiggs and others in “Shadow Play”

Well, Jiggs, don't you think that all of this is just a little bit too much the way it should be?

I don't get you.

Well, I mean it's so pat. I got tried and sentenced the same day. It doesn't work like that! But you see, that's the way that I saw it in my mind, and so that's the way it is! Or you take this place here, you and Coley and his harmonica or Phillips and his mother. It's like a movie. Real death houses aren't like that, but you see I've never been in a real death house, so that's my impression of it!

Fifteen more minutes. That's another thing. Why does this always happen around midnight?

Because that's when it happens!

Yeah, but why?

You tell me why.

According to Grant, he doesn't know anything about these matters except what he sees in the movies, and in the movies it always happens at midnight.

Because movies are technically accurate.

Yeah, that's strange too when you come to think of it.
