- Victoria Winters: My name is Victoria Winters. The residents of Collinwood have learned to live with fear. The fear centers around a small boy who's life may be in danger. And an alarmingly mysterious woman who would take him away with her.
- Laura Collins: Is David here?
- Mrs. Sarah Johnson: Uh, no. Uh, Miss Winters took him into town to buy him some new shoes.
- Laura Collins: But I was supposed to do that. We'd planned to do that together.
- Mrs. Sarah Johnson: Well, I don't know about any plans. I just know Miss Winters took him to town.
- Laura Collins: Well, when he gets back, tell him to come down to my cottage, please.
- Mrs. Sarah Johnson: Oh, well, he can't do that.
- Laura Collins: Why not?
- Mrs. Sarah Johnson: Well, he's not supposed to leave the house unless he goes somewhere with Miss Winters.
- Laura Collins: Why isn't he supposed to leave the house?
- Mrs. Sarah Johnson: Well, I don't know. Those are my orders. That, uh, David's not to go anywhere unless he goes with Vicki Winters or Miss Carolyn.
- Laura Collins: And who issued those orders? Carolyn and Vicki?
- Mrs. Sarah Johnson: No. Your husband did.
