BOTH ARE TIED BACK TO BACK WITH THICK CHAINS MAXINE: I don’t want to seem petty but do think if we had stayed in the car things might have turned out different? LORNE: I’m sorry, you do or you don’t want to seem petty? MAXINE: Oh God… LORNE: Could you do me a favor? MAXINE: You’re kidding me right? LORNE: I’d like you to reach into my pants. MAXINE: Really. LORNE: I’ve got a gun there. MAXINE: (trying to get her hand into his pants) If this is some elaborately tasteless come-on I’m going to die very disappointed in you. LORNE: Boy, you’ve got the “suspect everyone” part of this job down. Feel it? MAXINE: Yeah. (as she works down the back of his pants). And I don’t “suspect everyone.” LORNE Is that why you asked me to wait in the car? MAXINE: I suspected you. LORNE: Ok. Who do you trust? MAXINE: What?

LORNE: Who would you hand your life over to without thinking twice? MAXINE: Do pets count? LORNE: Do not. MAXINE: Parents? LORNE: If they know what you do for a living. MAXINE: OK….. Nobody LORNE: You keep going the way you are … you’re either going to quit, like me, ‘cause you can’t even order toast without wondering, is that waitress going to kill me? Or you’re going to go the Quill route, and end up so wacked out on paranoia you mainline conspiracy just to see straight. MAXINE: Thank you. I am now so depressed. (she draws the gun out of his pants) I don’t care if we get out of here or not. (she fires the gun into the chains. Lorne’s hands come free.) LORNE: All I’m saying is that you don’t have to do the job the way we did. (he takes the gun and frees Maxine) MAXINE Which means? LORNE: Trust somebody. No lies, no secrets, no waiting in the car. (he helps her up and their eyes meet) MAXINE: If you will. LORNE: It’s a little late for me…. MAXINE: You think so?…..
