APPENDIX I
(complete text of April's monologue from Guilty in a Court of Love:)

April
I took the fifth because I was protecting you.
I lied to everyone because I didn't want to incriminate you.
And I lied to you because I didn't want you to know that you weren't manipulating me.
Every time you thought you tricked me or betrayed me, I betrayed myself.
I let you use me. I forced you to use me.
And now how do you feel?
You feel guilty.
You could have laughed all the way to my electric chair if you thought you were taking advantage of an innocent little girl. But now there's something warped about the whole thing. It makes your skin crawl, doesn't it?
