Este es un interrogatorio en los calabozos de la policía política de una dictadura:
"FEDINA:
“No sé, señor, yo no sé nada…¿Es que usted no me está escuchando? Yo no sé nada, yo soy inocente, yo llegué a esa casa y no había nadie y bueno, yo, yo me sentí muy afligida. Me puse nerviosa y perdí la cabeza y corrí a donde corrí porque Pedro le contó a mi marido que el ministro iba a secuestrar a la señorita Camila y ella es como mi comadre…”
AUDITOR:
“Usted ha cometido un crimen de ilesa majestad … Usted es traidora a la patria y **eso se paga con lo peor**…Vea, aquí no estamos para juegos…¿Dónde está el general?...”
