[the janitors Kitty Culver and Henrietta Mosely tell Helen their Candyman story]
Kitty Culver : Well, all I know is there was some lady in a tub, and she heard a noise.
Helen Lyle : Do you remember her name?
Kitty Culver : I think her name was Ruthie Jean. And she heard this banging and smashing like somebody was trying to make a hole in the wall. So Ruthie called 911, and she said, 'There's somebody coming through the walls.' And they didn't believe her.
Henrietta Mosely : They thought the lady was crazy, right?
Kitty Culver : Hm-mmm. So then she called 911 again and they still didn't believe her. But when they finally got there, she was dead.
Helen Lyle : Was she shot?
Kitty Culver : No. Um... she was killed with a hook.
Henrietta Mosely : [Kitty makes a slice sound] It's true. Yeah it is. I read it in the papers. Candyman killed her.
Kitty Culver : Yeah, but, uh... I don't know nothing about that.
