"Mrs. Hale: ...Theres something wrapped up in this piece of silk
Mrs. Peters: Why, this isn't her scissors.
Mrs. Hale: (lifting the silk) Oh, Mrs. Peters---It's ----
Mrs Peters: Its the bird
Mrs. Hale: But, Mrs Peters- look at it! Its neck! Look at its neck! Its all--other side up
Mrs. Peters: Somebody--wrung--its---neck" (Glaspell, 816)

I think that this dialogue between the two women is most important to the story because it is at this point towards the end of the play where the women realize that the women accused is actually guilty and the evidence is right there in their hands. I think without this dialogue we wouldnt really know whether or not the women killed her husband but with it we can see that she first practiced it on a bird and then hid the evidence so that no one would know. I guess what interests me most about these lines is that they found the bird where they did. If they hadn't saw her quilts and then the horrible sewing job she had done and started to rip them up they may not have found the bird. I think that this dialogue is the climax of the story.
