Tate House

Maurice: Corinne who is this lady?

Ingrid: Corinne, Corinne, Corinne.

Corinne: Maurice, that's my mother.

Ingrid: Oh yes I am and who do you vink you are to marry my daughter?

Maurice: I'm in love with her.

Ingrid: Corinne, Corinne, Corinne I have come back again thinking you've made some sense in life and will come live with me and your father.

Corinne: No mo....Ingrid. My house is here and my true family are the ones who own the house.

Ingrid: Vou will not get away with this Corinne and you Jessica! I heard you're going to get fried in the chair! This is vust what I wanted!

The Major: You sound foreign miss. Come into the kitchen I believe I have some left over poison for you to drink.

Ingrid: Shut up all of vu! It will be time for me to get my revenge and that day will be voon!

Jessica: At noon?

Ingrid: No voon!

Jessica: I know at noon. You have to speak more clearly dear.

<Jessica is pushing her out of the house.>

Ingrid: I said at voon!!!

<Jessica slams the door on her.>

Jessica: I just can't understand that lady.

Maurice: So you're not her mother?

Jessica: It's a long story but biologically I'm not, but lovingly I am. Corinne is a part of this family and now you are too.

Maurice: That's lovely for you to say.

<Maurice and Corinne start kissing. The camera goes to Eunice and Dutch.>

Eunice: I want that Dutch.

Dutch: So do I. I just don't know where to find someone.

Eunice: DUTCH! What about us. We use to be that passionately in love.

Dutch: And I used to be an escaped convict. Times have changed Eunice.

Eunice: Not everything has changed Dutch.

Dutch: What's that supposed to me?

Eunice: Let's just say small packages are even losing their ribbons now...

Dutch: Oh Eunice ... that was mean.

<The Major comes up to them acting as if he was eavesdropping.>

The Major: You need a bow? I have a few in my room. Take out your present and we'll attach it to it!

Eunice: Oh good idea major, while you're at it bring down your magnifying glass. The package is tiny.

Major: Will do!

<The Major leaves.>

Eunice: <Screaming> Dutch see everyone knows you're impotent!!!

Dutch: Well now everyone does!!!

<Dutch runs upstairs angry.>

Eunice: Wait Dutch we're not finished!!!

<Everyone looks at Eunice.>

Eunice: Well don't look at me. It's not like this is my fault.

Martin's House

<Police Officer Tinkler along with a few other officers are searching the house. Tinkler goes over to Benson and Tom.>

Police Officer Tinkler: We are still looking for more evidence on your families disappearance. When was the last time you saw them?

Tom: This morning. I left for work and I went into all the kids rooms before they woke up. The same thing goes for my wife. She was still sleeping when I walked out of bed.

Police Officer Tinkler: Maybe they were sleepwalking?

<Tom and Benson look at Tinkler.>

Police Officer Tinkler: Well I never said that was the most logical explanation but ... oh well here's some things we found.

<Police Officer Tinkler takes out a paper bag and inside of it he grabs a salami sandwich.>

Benson: The kidnappers left their lunch?

Police Officer Tinkler: Oh no, wrong bag. This was just a sandwich I made from your fridge ... here the evidence we found.

<Tinkler shows them stuff in a plastic bag.>

Police Officer Tinkler: We found this match book from some hotel in Atlantic City. We also found a train ticket stub leaving at two this afternoon.

Tom: Does it say where they were going?

Police Officer Tinkler: No but we can guess they left by train.

Benson: Wow Tom Conneticut's finest police men just figured out they left through train.

Police Officer Tinkler: Thanks. The other men insisted it was through airplane but no, I realized this was a train station stub. Actually starting to think about it, we better call JFK and tell them to stop searching for your family.

<Police Officer Tinkler leaves.>

Tom: Well you heard him. It's 1:30. We have only a few minutes to catch the train. We're going to Atlantic City.

Benson: I should tell the Tate's I'm going to be gone ... actually they probably have their hands full and don't realize I'm even gone.

Strip Club

<Ladies, very young ladies are dancing on a bar as Danny comes in alone. He turns his back and sees that Jodie isn't behind him. He walks out and pulls Jodie in. Jodie closes his eyes as he walks closer.>

Jodie: Tell me to open my eyes when we're going to leave.

Danny: It's all right. They wouldn't have this place open if it was illegal.

Jodie: I guess you're right. If half of the police are watching the dancers I guess we can too.

Danny: That's the spirit.

<The camera switches over to two men talking.>

Man 1: That was my drink you just took.

Man 2: No it wasn't. The bartender gave me the glass.

Man 1: You were supposed to pass it down!

Man 2: Oh yea?

<They exchange punches as Danny breaks in there.>

Danny: Deputy Sheriff! You two are under arrest. Men take them out.

<The Police Officers are too busy watching the strippers to arrest the men. Danny is out numbered two to one.>

Danny: Okay, as you can see, I have half of Dunns River's finest backing me so if you'll be nice for the rest of the evening I won't convict you of any charges. Okay? <Danny starts walking back scared.> I'm glad you understand I'm in charge here. <Danny runs back to Jodie.> I did a good job taking care of those goons huh Jodie?

<Jodie isn't listening to Danny because he's staring at the stripper. Danny pinches him and he looks back.>

Jodie: Sorry Dan. I was just wondering how that woman can eat in a banana in that position.

Danny: No I think you were wondering how to get one of those for yourself.

Jodie: No Danny. That thought never crossed my mind. I'm not a pervert.

Danny: I know, none of us in this society are today.

Jodie: Right. So when can we get out of here?

Danny: We just sat down.

Jodie: I feel very uncomfortable in this climate. Please let us leave.

Danny: How can't you have fun here....

<A bra is thrown over Jodie's eyes. Jodie grabs it.>

Jodie: Ummm miss, you dropped this.

Danny: Jodie! You're not supposed to just give that back to her! You're supposed to slip a five dollar bill in it too.

Jodie: You sound like an expert in this field.

Danny: I've had my practice. You know I should really call Elaine.

Jodie: Don't bother. Let's just leave.

<Jodie takes his coat and leaves. Danny goes after him and a stripper comes up to Danny in just an overcoat.>

Stripper: What's his problem?

Danny: He's not comfortable here.

Stripper: Is he married?

Danny: No....

Stripper: Does he have a girlfriend?

Danny: No.... Stripper:

He's gay?

Danny: Yes...

Stripper: I can always change someone's preference. Here's my card. Use me any time.

Danny: I think that's exactly what I'm going to do. What are you doing tomorrow night? Let's test your asset's then on him.

Stripper: Sounds like a good deal.

Train Station

<A train is departing and Benson and Tom are racing to it.>

Benson: It's too late. We're going to have to catch the next one.

Tom: It's probably best this way. We don't know if the family is even on it.

<Out from a window Julie is seen screaming for Tom. As Tom and Benson see her two hands grab her back.>

Tom: Benson we're getting the next train to Atlantic City!

Tate House

<Jessica is fixing up the living room as Chester, Corinne and Maurice walk in.>

Corinne: Ma, I'm not going on a honeymoon for six weeks. I want to spend the next few weeks with you.

Jessica: That's so nice of you to say but Corinne I'm not leaving any of you. I'm sure something will happen to stop the execution. I have so much more to live for.

Maurice: What a great oath to life. We won't leave yet. I couldn't take Corinne away from you. Every minute matters.

Jessica: What a lovely son-in-law I have.

<The doorbell rings. Jessica gets it. A man is there with a pad of paper and he looks like a reporter.>

Reporter: I am Mr. Smith and I'm from the Dunn's River Press. Can I have a word with you Mrs. Tate for our latest editorial?

Jessica: Well if you mu....

Chester: No she won't! You have a lot of nerve. The lady is going to be killed in 3 weeks. She doesn't want to comment on her life, and a crime she never committed!

Mr. Smith: Actually, we're not interested in that.

Chester: Then what kind of article would you be writing for the biggest newspaper in Dunn's River?

Mr. Smith: No, we're not the biggest. I think you misunderstand who I am. I'm from the Dunn's River Press Rumors. We received some pictures earlier this week of you Mrs. Tate with war veteran of Malaguay, nicknamed, El Puerco in some very how shall I put it? Indecent scenes.

Chester: Let me see these photos! They are obviously fakes. Look at this Jessica.

<Jessica looks.>

Chester: Tell him all of this is false!!!

Jessica: Ummmm.

Chester: Well tell him!!!

Maurice: <Whispering to Corinne> This family has problems...

Corinne: <Whispering back> Before you get scared and think about leaving me, don't forget, I'm adopted.

Chester: Jessica aren't you going to tell him the truth????

Jessica: Well....
