WOMAN Are you Adam Schirra? ADAM (bristling) What kind of a question is that? (The machine’s needles dance wildly, drawing squiggles across the page.) WOMAN (unflinching) Are you Adam Schirra? ADAM (after a long pause, quietly) Yes. (The machine beeps, its light flashing red, and the WOMAN writes something on her clipboard. ADAM leans forward across the table, grimacing.) ADAM What? Is it saying that I lied? (No response.) -- Adam takes a lie detector test. It goes about as well as you would expect.
