• Penelope enters the room. She’s just taken a shower. A towel is wrapped around her body. She is smoking a PIPE.


• PENELOPE PENELOPE
• (Under her breath)
• I can’t leave you two alone for a minute.


• She rolls her eyes at the sight before her but quickly hides her annoyance. She kneels beside Lincoln’s Head, picks up his TOP HAT which has fallen from his brow, and puts it on.


• She sticks out her tongue, makes a silly face, and tickles Lincoln’s Head’s chin.


• LINCOLN’S HEAD
• (Cooing)
• Stop that.


• NICHOLAS FREDLAND
• (Forcing a smile)
• Don’t I get any of that?


• PENELOPE PENELOPE
• No.


• LINCOLN’S HEAD
• Madam, desist! Desist! I beg you!


• Penelope pats Lincoln’s Head on the top of his head with real affection.


• NICHOLAS FREDLAND
• You love that damn head more than you love me.


• PENELOPE PENELOPE
• And?


• Penelope stands and moves to the dresser. She drops the towel and stands there for a moment wearing only the top hat.


• Lincoln’s Head watches her with a funny expression on his face. Nicholas looks from Lincoln’s Head to Penelope and back again. His RAGE grows.


• Nicholas stands, grabs Lincoln’s Head, and quickly leaves the room. Penelope doesn’t even pause as she puts on her jeans, but she smiles a Cheshire grin.


• EXT. DUPLEX PORCH – DAY


• Nicholas throws open the front door and storms out of the duplex, stuffing Abraham Lincoln’s Head into a DUFFLE BAG.
