  • PENELOPE PENELOPE
  • Yeah, I know, where were you going to get that kind of money, right?

  • NICHOLAS FREDLAND
  • I guess I would’ve had to get a job.

  • Nicholas and Penelope share a hearty laugh.

  • PENELOPE PENELOPE
  • (with mock seriousness)
  • But then you wouldn’t need me.

  • NICHOLAS FREDLAND
  • Right, I could find a girl who would really appreciate my abuse.

  • PENELOPE PENELOPE
  • A girl who would crave your abuse.

  • Nicholas stares ahead wistfully.

  • PENELOPE PENELOPE
  • Yes, Sir, we really dodged a bullet there. Ho ho ho.

  • Nicholas pulls the car to the curb.

  • He jumps out and sprints off across a vacant lot. The car continues to move down the street very slowly.

  • PENELOPE PENELOPE
  • (as she slides behind the wheel)
  • What now!

  • Penelope watches Nicholas as he goes and lays face down in a ditch.

  • PENELOPE PENELOPE
  • I’m just leaving you here!

  • Penelope drives off.

  • LINCOLN’S HEAD
  • Madam, I pray thee, what just happened?

  • Penelope looks at Lincoln’s Head in the rearview mirror and rolls her eyes.
