Edd: We just need to ask a few questions ma'am.

[Cole pulls out a small hand book]

Cole: Do you think you can me exactly what happened, Miss?

Clovis Galletta: I look around the shops at lunch. I was in a store when Mr. Gage, my boss, bursts in, yelling that i'm late on my lunch.

Edd: And...

Clovis Galletta: We came back. I was angry - i walked in front. I heard shots. I turned and saw Mr. Gage fall *sobs*

Cole: Your lying Mrs. Galletta. You know what happened and why. Your going to tell us.

Clovis Galletta: There's nothing to tell. I've done nothing wrong. How can you prove different?

Edd: Your earrings ma'am, you've been paying for them for a whole year.

Cole: Now stop lying and tell us what happened at the jewelry store.

Clovis Galletta: Oh god... I won't lose the earrings, will I?

Edd: Earrings are less important right now!

Cole: You could lose your freedom, you little fool, if you don't stop obstructing a murder investigation.

Clovis Galletta: Mr Kalou - Edgar Kalou - he runs the jewelry store. He's showing me a lovely watch. Mr Gage bursts in. Mr Kalou ge very angry with Mr Gage, and they start yelling at eachother. Mr Gage tells me that all of the things in the store are junk, nickle plated, made in japan - and yells at me to get back to work.

Cole: Then what happened?

Clovis Galletta: We get back here and i hear a loud bang. Mr Gage clutches at his back. I hear another bang and another and another. *sniffs* Mr Gage falls to his knees... it looked very painful...

Cole: How many shots did you hear Miss Galletta?

Clovis Galletta: It's difficult to remember... it sounded like there were so many, and they were so loud...

Edd: We need you to concentrate ma'am even small evidence's could help.

Clovis Galletta: Well, there was one bang, and then another... and then three very quickly, close together. Five.

Cole: Which jewelry store?

Clovis Galletta: Hartfield's. Broadway, between Fifth and Sixth.

Edd: Did you see the person who shot Mr Gage?

Clovis Galletta: Of course i did, Mr Kalou looked very angry. He kept firing the gun. He kept pulling the trigger... He threw the gun in a bin and turned and walked away.

Cole: Your making me angry Miss Galletta. Is that what you want?

Clovis Galletta: *silence*

Cole: Tell us why Mr Kalou shot Mr Gage!

Clovis Galletta: Mr Gage hates jews. alot of people do. It's not my fault if he has nice things.

Edd: Why that's despicable.

Cole: Thank you for your help ma'am, you've been very brave. We'll need you to make a formal statement about what happened to Mr Gage.

Clovis Galletta: Does that mean i get to collect my... my... never mind. Yes, Officer's i'll make a statement.
