Minnie’s Testimony
[WATSON]
The children speak the truth!
The children call for vengeance
For the innocence we never can replace!

[MINNIE, spoken]
My name is Minola McKnight

[WATSON]
The children speak the truth!
The sodomite is laughin' in your face

[MINNIE]
Mistuh Frank, he come home for his dinner at one

(spoken)
He come running in, he look funny.​

[DORSEY, spoken]
Funny in what way?

[MINNIE]
His eyes poppin' out and his face turnin' red
And he jump up and leave 'fore I put his dessert on the table!

(spoken)
Coconut cake, too—his favorite!
[DORSEY, spoken]
Anything else out of the ordinary occur?

[MINNIE]
Well, then the next mornin' I see Ms. Lucille
She looked like she ain't had a minute o' rest
She say Mistuh Frank make her sleep on the floor
And that she ain't allowed in the bed anymore

[DORSEY, spoken]
Thank you, Minnie. That'll be all.​
