WEHRHAHN
Sorry. Can't say that I have a clear recollection. And that wouldn't
matter officially anyhow.
KRUEGER
[_Resignedly._] My name is Krueger.
WEHRHAHN
Capitalist by any chance?
KRUEGER

WEHRHAHN
Identify yourself, please.
KRUEGER
I--Identify myself! My name is Krueger. I don't think we need go to any
further trouble. I've been living here for thirty years. Every child in
the place knows me.
WEHRHAHN
The length of your residence here doesn't concern me. It is my business
merely to ascertain your identity. Is this gentleman known to you--Mr.
Motes?
_MOTES half rises with an angry expression._
WEHRHAHN

GLASENAPP
Yes, at your service. It is Mr. Krueger all right.
WEHRHAHN
Very well.--So you have been robbed of wood?
KRUEGER

WEHRHAHN

KRUEGER

substance of another complaint I have to make.
WEHRHAHN
[_With an ironic laugh and looking at the others.
