Scene 1:
Location: Lakeview Towers
Scene: Craig's Suite

SIMON FRASIER, LUCINDA WALSH

[ Knock on door ]
>> Simon: Coming. Coming with plenty of lovin' to follow.
>> Lucinda: Oh, thanks. Thanks a lot, but today you're not my type.
>> Simon: That's a shame. I thought you were Katie.
>> Lucinda: Well, I was hoping that you were Lucy. She's here, isn't she? She's here?
>> Simon: I have no idea where anyone is right at the moment. Sorry.
>> Lucinda: Well, I was just dropping by because -- her schoolbook, she left it behind at my house.
>> Simon: Okay. You can just leave it there. I'll make sure she gets it.
>> Lucinda: Okay. It's Latin. Structure. You are aware that she's moving in --
>> Simon: Yes.
>> Lucinda: -- Here? Again?
>> Simon: I saw her suitcase in the other room and figured she was back.
>> Lucinda: Yeah. Well, naturally, I tried to dissuade her in every way I could, but she was determined, I mean, having her own suite of rooms and her favorite foods every day and long chats with her dull old grandma didn't cut it in the fun department, apparently.
>> Simon: Well, things get pretty manic and exciting around here, I wouldn't take it personal.
>> Lucinda: Yeah, I bet they do. I bet they do. It was a joy -- however short-lived -- to see her bright, shining morning face.
>> Simon: She's a great girl.
>> Lucinda: Yes, she is.
>> Simon: She's a really great girl.
>> Lucinda: She is. And I don't understand my daughter leaving her -- [ sighs ] in the care of a degenerate like Craig.
>> Simon: Craig, yes.
>> Lucinda: Of course, she doesn't see her dad that way. Because she sees her dad as Prince Charming and Superman, all rolled into one. You don't want to get involved in this by chance, do you? [ laughs ]
>> Simon: No, no, I don't want to get involved, thanks. No, I'm not interested, but again, thanks anyway.
>> Lucinda: Okay. Well, ask her to call me. And please, make sure that the book isn't misplaced in this funhouse. Because it's Latin and she has a test --
>> Simon: It is Latin and Latin is very important.
>> Lucinda: It is.
>> Simon: I will make sure she gets it.
>> Lucinda: Test next week.
>> Simon: I'll personally hand deliver it.
>> Lucinda: All right.
>> Simon: Whoa! Wait, wait ---
>> Lucinda: What?
>> Simon: Wait a second. [ finds a note from Katie ] This might answer a couple of questions for both of us. It's fine. Lucy is with Katie. Katie is giving her her first driving lesson.
>> Lucinda: In the dark? Oh, my heavens! For heaven's sake! Not one second is she in this house and it's starting already.
>> Simon: I going too fast?

Scene 2:
Scene: Craig's Suite

SIMON FRASIER, LUCINDA WALSH

>> Simon: Please, just calm down okay? Listen, don't panic. They're gonna be walking through the door any minute.
>> Lucinda: That's what we said -- that's what we said about her older brother.
>> Simon: Okay, wait, wait, wait. Who are you calling?
>> Lucinda: I'm calling the police. To save her life, I'll get them both arrested.
>> Simon: Don't do that. That would be a mistake.
>> Lucinda: It's better than grieving.
>> Simon: Listen. Okay, listen. Lucy is starting to enjoy herself here, all right? She's feeling confident, and even a little grown up. If you put a lid on that right now --
>> Lucinda: She might make it to her next birthday, okay? [ phone rings ] Hello? Uh, yes, Miss Montgomery lives here. This is her grandmother speaking. To whom am I speaking? I see. Tell me all about it.
>> Simon: Who is it?
>> Lucinda: Uh-huh. I see. Fine. I'll see you down at the station momentarily.
>> Simon: The station, okay, what happened?
>> Lucinda: Lucy and Katie have been in a car accident.
>> Simon: Well, was anybody hurt?
>> Lucinda: No, fortunately not.
>> Simon: Okay, that's good. That's good. Then what happened?
>> Lucinda: Well, what happened was Lucy backed up into a cops' car. That was Officer Shanks. He's the arresting officer. And he is not in good spirits.
>> Simon: All right, wait, wait, wait. I'm coming with you.

>> Katie: Lucinda's not gonna be a problem.
>> Craig: Lucinda's always a problem. And if she does find out about this, Lucy will be on the next plane back to Montega.
>> Lucy: Well, actually, I'm not staying with her anymore. I moved out this afternoon.
>> Craig: To where?
>> Lucy: Well, your place. I figured you wouldn't mind.
>> Craig: Mind? I'm ecstatic.
>> Katie: See, so Lucinda's not gonna ever find out about this. You have no need to worry.
