[Simon Fraiser enters the cabin.]
[Simon ungags Lily's mouth.]
>> Lily: Are you satisfied? You and your Australian girlfriend have me right where you want me. Bound and gagged!
>> Simon: If you start nagging, I'll gag you again. And she's not a friend.
>> Lily: Who is she?
>> Simon: Keep your voice down!
>> Lily: How is she connected to you?
>> Simon: Look later, okay. We have to get out of here right now before she gets back, or we are both dead!

Scene 2:
Location: Cabin

LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER and CELIA FRASIER

>>Simon: If you had stayed with me instead of wandering off on your own.
>>Lily: I never would have been kidnapped if it weren't for you.
>>Simon: I could leave you here to rot.
>>Lily: It's always nice to see you. How did you find me? Did you know about this cabin?
>>Simon: We haven't got much time. We have to hurry. Get up.
>>Celia: I would say you're clean out of time. Hello, darling Simon. My, you have looked better.
>>Lily: So you are friends?
>>Simon: No.
>>Lily: Lovers?
>>Simon: Far from it.
>>Celia: Do you mean you haven't filled her in yet, lovey? Where are your manners? Introduce us.
>>Simon: Let me do the honors.
>>Simon: Lily Snyder, meet Celia Fraiser.
>>Lily: Your wife?
>>Simon: My sister.

Scene 3:
Location: Cabin

LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER and CELIA FRASIER

>>Lily: This was all a set-up! All that talk about being in danger? The two of you were in this together?
>>Celia: It didn't start out that way, but blood always tells, darling. Isn't that rite?
>>Simon: So I've heard, darling. Sure, we've always had our family problems, but we are still brother and sister.
>>Celia: Back off, now! Drop what you've got behind your back and move. All the time that's gone by, did you honestly think you could pull one over on me? Haven't you learned by now? Sister always wins.

Scene 4:
Location: Cabin

LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER and CELIA FRASIER

>>Celia: Tie her up again, darling. Now!
>>Lily: Is this some sort of sick joke?
>>Simon: Look, I'm afraid not. My sister has never had much of a sense of humor.
>>Celia: But I am the sanest one in the family. Oh, yes, the Fraiser's put the fun in dysfunctional. But you know what, I've had enough fun to last me a bloody lifetime. I've chased the two of you around this continent. I'm fed up. I have one question for you, where's my diamond.
>>Simon: Lily doesn't have it.
>>Lily: She doesn't believe me. I told her that.
>>Celia: I thought I was doing you a favor, giving you one last chance and all.
>>Lily: It's the truth. I have no idea where the diamond is.
>>Celia: That was the wrong answer.

Scene 5:
Location: Cabin

LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER and CELIA FRASIER

>>Simon: Look, she isn't fooling around.
>>Lily: Neither am I. Don't you think I'd tell her where the diamond was if I knew where it was? I have a family, two small children. Please, don't take their mother away from them.
>>Simon: You always did have ice water for blood.
>>Celia: You were always far too nice.
>>Lily: Especially when he's trying to get something that he wants.
>>Celia: She has your number, darling. How did he hook you in? Did he tell you the fairy-tale about great grandfather and beloved.
>>Lily: I knew the letters were fake.
>>Celia: No, they're real. I bet our Simon forget to tell you the juicy bits.
>>Lily: I would love to hear your version of it.
>>Celia: Would you? I'm flat out of time. Sadly, so are you. Since you can't help me with the diamond, you're dead.
>>Simon: You cannot shoot her.
>>Celia: Why not?
>>Simon: Because I'm in love with her.

Scene 6:
Location: Cabin.

LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER AND CELIA FRASIER

>>Celia: Oh, once again, my dearly beloved brother. He rules with his heart instead of his brains. So you love her, do you? Well, from what I've seen she hates your guts.
>>Simon: I've lied to her. I've misled her. It stands to reason there is no reason for her to trust me. But, yeah, I do love her. How could I not? I had been searching for her my whole life.
>>Celia: Simon, Simon, what has love ever given our family? Just look. When great grandfather lost his precious beloved, he ended up a love sick drunk and he gave away the family diamond. Love, my dear Simon, has left this family penniless.
>>Simon: Love, yes and a lot of bad management.
>>Celia: I'm not going to be that stupid. That diamond is all that's left.
>>Simon: No. You are not the only heir.
>>Celia: Forget it. You forget it. I'm not going to let you squander away my rightful fortune. Have you told your lady love your plan?
>>Lily: This is unnecessary.
>>Celia: You haven't. You haven't. Oh, my brother, Simon, has this ludicrous idea that we'll find the diamond.
>>Simon: Shut up!
>>Celia: And are you as stupid as the love sick fool who gave it away in the beginning.

Scene 7:
Location: Cabin.

LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER AND CELIA FRASIER

>>Celia: Simon was always the passionate one. The idealistic one. Always believing he was right. Weren't you, darling? Well, with your worldly ideas, it's only proven that you're the bigger fool. That diamond was stolen from my life before I ever began it.
>>Simon: Celia, please don't shoot her.
>>Lily: Please. I haven't told you everything.
>>Celia: I'm listening.
>>Lily: Look, I don't have the diamond. I'm not useless to you. You need me.
>>Celia: Why?
>>Lily: Because I was the last one to see it. I can tell you exactly what happened to that diamond.
