I watch as her face pales.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Willy asks her with a head shake. "You're still alive?"
Harry's dad lowers himself into the only chair in the room and his shoulders slump.

Lisa is clutching Charlie's hand, and as usual, the ongoing drama doesn't really bother her. She's just watching the unfolding show with disinterest.
Charlie himself is looking from Willy, to Harry, to the woman who is rooted on the spot.
After a long silence, Harry's father finally finds his voice.
"Maggie, tell me what is happening. Now!"
She bursts into tears.
"I..I didn't know.."
"You didn't know what!"
"That you knew...about Willy."
"What about him? Speak in complete sentences, will you?"
