MEL We had you over for dinner.

PAUL This is inappropriate, Mel.

MEL Don’t “appropriate” me. We’re going to lose our house.

PAUL You won’t.

MEL I quit my job. When we started on the development, I quit my job so I could help him. We have nothing coming in, Paul.

MEL Nothing.

PAUL No, he wouldn’t.

MEL But he did. What about my kids, Paul?

PAUL Goodnight,
