"WHO?"
"Jerry, the kid down the street. You know him, Ma."
"Jerry? You mean that nice young man two doors down?"
"Exactly. Cops just took him away in a squad car."
"What's he supposed to have done?"
"Well, the cops say him and two other guys went downtown and held up the liquor store on Main. They beat the snot out of Joey, the clerk, and made a real mess out of the store. Then they drove down Main and shot holes in all the store front windows."
"I don't believe it. He's such a nice young man. So handsome."

Was going to say "ain't that the truth," and then I saw that Grandmother said the exact same thing. But, yep. Exactly. :) I like where you went with the prompt. Nicely done.

You are so good at dialog!
If I could only tell you how many times my mother has said the same thing.
