       (The FBI agent enters, ushers in the woman and offers her a seat.)

FBI AGENT -We want to thank you for coming in...Mrs. Smith.  We appreciate your help in this.

        (She nods and he opens a computer and turns it so she can see)

FBI AGENT - You told us some very interesting stories.....and we, of course, have the job of                       verifying what you said.....now, just to recap.....you said you "knew by the boy's dark                           eyes"......and that "my son had those dark eyes before he killed his father"

        Well, Mrs. Smith, according to all the records we have, that you so graciously shared, you and             your husband never had children.......

SMITH -  Of course not!  He was a homosexual.....

FBI AGENT-  (Surprised)  I didn't realize you knew...

SMITH -  It's something a wife notices over 35 years....

FBI AGENT -  Well, if you had no other husbands, and you had no children, how is it possible your           son killed his father?  

SMITH -  Maybe you need to get better computers....

FBI AGENT - We have complete input going back many years.....

SMITH -  Are you asking for a date?

FBI AGENT -  That would help...

SMITH -  February 21st......10:17 pm.......I can't remember if it was a full moon, but I think it was......

          (The agent scrolls through the computer, a little smug)

FBI AGENT  -  Perhaps you have the wrong date.....

SMITH -  I can never forget that day.......

FBI AGENT - ......because we have checked that date and ...nothing.....

SMITH -  You have?

              (She looks at him, then stands)

SMITH  - What century?

            (End of scene)
