Othello                          Right now you’re not. So you better ‘fess up.

                                You are gonna die.

Desdemona          Oh lordy, have mercy on me!

Othello                          Amen Sista!

Desdemona          You too, crackhead! What you on?

                   I’m wit’ chu, Not that white-boy. I never gave him no

                                handkerchief.

Othello                          Woman, I saw the damn thing in his hand! It murdered me

                                when I saw him with the handkerchief.

Desdemona          That fool probably stole the damn handkerchief. Get him     

                                over here, and he’ll tell y’all.

Othello                          He already ‘fessed up.

Desdemona          What the?

Othello                          He said he’s been getting all up in that y’all.

Desdemona          Me and him? Hunny, pa-lease.

Othello                          He said it.

Desdemona          No he wouldn’t.

Othello                          Not no more. That shorty’s dead.

                                Iago cut the lights on that punk.

Desdemona          He’s dead?

Othello                          Revenge is sweet. I have the stomach for it.

Desdemona          Nope, he betrayed.

                                And don’t think you gonna be getting’ wit’ this tonight.

Othello                          Out, ho’! Don’t be sobbin’ in my face.

Desdemona          Half an hour? Just a quickie?
