[she walks away from him]

[Lennie continues to restrain Curley's wife until she frees her mouth and bites Lennie's hand and screams even louder]
Lennie : [jerks her hard, furiously] DON'T YELL! Don't do that! George is gonna be mad if you yell!
[Lennie places Curley's wife on a pile of hay, she is not moving]

Lennie : [moves her now lifeless body around] You done a bad thing!
[Lennie somehow realizes that Curley's wife is dead for he had broken her neck]
Lennie : [petrified with fear] I... I done a bad thing. I done a--a really bad thing.
[Lennie gets spooked by the sound of flapping wings from a pigeon, he slowly gets up runs out of the barn as the men continue their horseshoe tournament]
