POLICEMAN. What's this?
MATT. I don't know. I'm a little afraid he -
POLICEMAN. What! Who is he? [Lookin at the face], Phew! One of ours!
[Bending, kneeling, putting the back of his hand to the mouth.]
Not a breath! How did this happen?
MATT. [Pointing to the rail] He knocked his head on that.
POLICEMAN. Where's his hat?
MATT. It fell off. Someone's gone to get water in it.
POLICEMAN. Who?

POLICEMAN. He blew his whistle. Did you hit him?
MATT. There was a row. He seized me. I smote him on the jaw.
He fell back and hit his head on the rail.
POLICEMAN. What was the row about?
MATT. [Putting his hands to his head] Oh! God knows! Original sin.
POLICEMAN. [To the other policeman] Mate, stay with him. I'll get an ambulance.
[To Matt.] And you - come with me!
