CONFESSION INTERVIEW DICTATION
โWhat made you decide to do it?โ
โDo what?โ
โKill Garfield.โ
โWhy would I kill Garfield?โ
โYou tell me.โ
โIโve been happily serving him since 1978.โ
โSo you do consider it serving.โ
โWhat do you mean?โ
โYou consider yourself beneath him.โ
โOf course.โ
โSo you find that demeaning, do you?โ
โItโs my place.โ
โTo serve?โ
โTo sit.ย On the floor.ย With the water.โ
โSo youโre blaming the water.โ
โThe water didnโt have anything to do with this.โ
โThen you admit it.โ
โAdmit what?โ
โYou poisoned Garfield.โ
โThatโs crazy.โ
โIs it?โ
โYou donโt know what youโre talking about.โ

โWednesday?โ
โYes.ย Wednesday.โ

โYou know Iโm right. Just say it.โ
โWhat?โ
