Meanwhile, at the production tower.

LAUREL SPARTA:

((Sniffs the air suspiciously. Rises from her throne armchair.))

**Did someone just say "off script"?**

LAUREL SPARTA:

((Laurel makes her way to the balcony overlooking the Riverton set. She looks at the bird on her staff, Diablo, the Sound Editor.))

**Fly, Diablo, fly. Find out who's trying to destroy my comic tragedy.**

DIABLO (Sound Editor):

((The bird's mouth opens and a radio voice emerges.))

**Okay, Miss Sparta. Sure thing.**

((The bird takes off towards the Riverton set.))

MONROE:


(( Worrying what he's gotten himself into. ))

You can just call me Monroe. That's fine.

((Eyes car door and realizes the car's going much too fast for anyone to make a hasty retreat ))

Uhm.... I didn't do anything to him, I don't think. I think he did it all himself, mostly. 'Fraid so. But......

(( Blurts it out ))

I'm going to propose to Alma. I love her. He'll be sore as all hell when he hears, I'm sure..

(( Realizes what he just heard))

What? You're going to get Alma too ?!?

(( Stares, worries some more, then relaxes and gives in to fate or coincidence or life's utter strangeness and unpredictability))

Sure enough, Jack.... Mr. Twist, I mean. Alma's at the old apartment above the laundromat, do you know where that is? Ever been there?

JACK:

((Jack realizes he's headin' towards the grocery. Considers doing a 360, but with Monroe clinging onto the door handle like that, he guesses he'd better not.))

**Fine... Is there anyone at the grocery that we can pick up? Maybe 'nother employee'r somethin'??**

MONROE:

(( Sheepishly lets go of door handle, leans back while watching Riverton fly by, and starts humming to the car radio. ))

%% I'll just wait and see what he does next. Sure seems he's the very unpredictable kind. %%

(( Conversationally ))

You're a real good driver, Jack. Nice car you've got, too. I bet you drive a lot.

(( Continues humming, feeling drowsy all of a sudden ))

JACK:

**Now don't fall asleep, Monroe. We're at the grocery now. Gonna see if I can find some more people here.**

((Jack parks the car easily and hops out of the driver's seat. He leans his head back in.))

**Don't go nowhere. Ennis ain't gonna be mad at ya, and I'm gonna need yer support.... Hell, Ennis'll need it too.**

((Jack rushes in to see if there's anyone in the grocery, and finds Do-Do at the checkout.))

**Come on, little lady, we're closin' up shop. Need yer help with somethin'.**

JACK

((Jack runs out of the grocery, draggin' Do-Do behind him.))

**Get in the car!**

((Jack darts back into the grocery and puts up the "Will Return At:" sign on the front door. When he comes back out, two passersby are starin' at the sign wonderin' whats goin' on. Jack almost stops and talks to them too.))

**Hell, runnin' out of time!**

((Jack rushes over to the car and helps push the dozing Monroe into the back seat.))

**I'm just wonderin', ya know, when the hell did my pickup turn into a car?**

JACK

((Grateful for Do-Do's silence and Monroe's slumber, Jack accelerates out of the parking space and rounds the bend parking near a little bistro. He hops out of the car and heads inside. Everything is frozen in still-motion. A few patrons at the tables with food lifted to their mouths, servers pouring wine and coffee in frozen streams, a desert cart tumbling onto one of the patrons. Wait.))

**Lucise? You been frozen in here all this time?**

((Jack grabs Lucise by the collar and pulls him up, and everything in the room returns to normal. The desert cart falls with a huge crash on the spot where Lucise had been laying.))

DIABLO:

((Flying low over the Riverton set, Diablo quickly spies a speeding car. He hovers over to investigate more fully, autotargetting combat vision in place. When he had the car right in the crosshairs, he fired.... the radio transceiver latched onto the roof of the car and drilled a tiny hole through it.))
