Excerpt

[Excerpt from Scene 6:]

POLLY: Valuable things...
MYRNA: And that’s all you’ll tell me about it. You don’t trust your own mother?
POLLY: Well maybe if you weren’t married to my father.
MYRNA: Your father wouldn’t have any interest in hearing the details of Mac’s goings on. He’s legit now and doing very well, as you can tell by our surroundings.
POLLY: So what’s the scatter gun for?
MYRNA: Well the more you have the more you stand to lose. There are thieves everywhere in this city.
POLLY: Most of them trained by you and your husband.
MYRNA: And many of them resentful of our success. Especially your husband.

[Excerpt from Scene 10:]

Mac and Peachum walk through the park. They pass a man with a gun to his head.
MAC: Do you think he knows something we don’t?
PEACHUM: We could always ask him. You worried about something in particular?
The man makes the sign of the cross.
MAC: Well I’ve been following the market and I think those banker boys in there might have already –
The man blows his brains out. Mac and Peachum look back.
MAC: – put their “idea” in play.
PEACHUM: So we’ll move fast then. Have you tried this scam out before?
They watch as beggars appear from nowhere, take the dead man’s belongings and scurry off.
MAC: No. This is its maiden voyage. I thought we’d need something big to get them heated up.
