John Book : Samuel, the man who was killed tonight was a policeman, and it's my job to find out what happened. I want you to tell me everything you saw when you went into the bathroom.
Samuel Lapp : Um... there were two.
John Book : There were TWO men?
Samuel Lapp : I only saw one.
John Book : [turning to Carter] Does anybody else know about this?
Det. Sgt. Elden Carter : No, no one's had a chance to talk to him.
John Book : What did he look like, the man that you saw?
Samuel Lapp : He was... like him.
[pointing at Carter]
John Book : He was a black man, had black skin?
Samuel Lapp : Ya, but not schtumpig.
John Book : Schtulpig? What's 'schtumpig'?
Rachel Lapp : On a farm, when a pig is born small like that, it's called schtumpig, a runt.
John Book : Oh, so he wasn't a runt. He was a big guy, like me?
[John puts his arm around an embarrassed Carter]
Samuel Lapp : Big guy!
