[she yanks him to his feet]

[screams]
Marjorie : Tell them! Tell them! Tell them!
Joe : [anguished] I watched the house! I stole the letters!
[he falls to his knees, Marjorie grabs him by the hair and holds his knife to his throat]
Marjorie : And what else?
Joe : [breaking down] I... I came here to kill you... and Patty... and Terry.
[Terry and Patty look on, horrified]
Joe : Linda Martinez, Paula Mikowski, Marie Parks...
[Marjorie runs knife across his throat, Joe screams and falls to floor, sobbing, but realizing he's not hurt]
Joe : Thank you... thank you. The first time I did it... my wife, she's reading the paper. She says 'Joe, did you fix the back door? 'Cause I don't want no raper coming in here.' And I says, 'don't worry honey, he don't want you'. And I fixed the back door real good... so that the raper don't get her. Oh, God.
Patricia : [tears running down her face] Marjorie...
Marjorie : Go get the police.
Terry : [Pat nods] Oh, God.
[to Marjorie]
Terry : I'll stay. I'll stay with you.
Marjorie : [softly] Go with Pat.
Terry : I'm sorry.
[Marjorie nods... they leave... she turns Joe around and guides him back to the fireplace, where he takes a fetal position... she turns on a lamp and sits down near him with a look of triumph on her face... end credits]
