Dialogue

Clifford Scott: Why did you come here?

Hal Moffet, the 'Creeper': I need money.

---

Mr. Haskins: [holding a grocery list] Where'd this come from?

Jimmy: Somebody stuck it under the door.

Mr. Haskins: [annoyed] Uhh...

Jimmy: Don't you think it's kinda funny? Sticking a note under the door?

Mr. Haskins: No! And don't go trying to make a mystery out of it! Somebody probably to busy to pick up the stuff.

Jimmy: Could be the Creeper.

Mr. Haskins: [very annoyed] Creeper, Creeper, Creeper! YOU GIVE ME THE CREEPS!

Jimmy: Well he could be. That'd be a swell reason why he wouldn't wanna see anyone, or come out, 'cept at night.

Mr. Haskins: Well you've just gotta deliver these groceries. And don't forget the money! A dollar and a quarter.

Jimmy: OK... but I still think it could be...

Mr. Haskins: I know! So he's The Creeper. Well you just creep along with that - I mean, hurry up with that stuff! And then get back and do the rest of your work!
