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

SIMON FRASIER, CRAIG MONTGOMERY, AND MARGO HUGHES

>> Simon: So is Katie back yet?
>> Craig: Simon, no luck?
>> Simon: No. No, I think she packed everything and left. Even Snickers.
>> Margo: Snickers?
>> Simon: Yeah, Snickers, her pet rabbit.
>> Craig: Ah, hare freight!
>> Margo: Well, did she leave alone or with this Bruno guy?
>> Simon: I really don't know, but I'm pretty sure it was alone.
>> Margo: All right. Well, why don't you let me track him down? And I'll ask some questions.
[Phone ringing.]
>> Craig: Margo, what's all the fuss about? I've met the guy. He seems harmless enough. Huh? Simon, Bruno may have picked up a few twitches along the way, but I don't think he's a threat.
>> Margo: Okay, thanks. That was my contact on the East Coast. Seems this Portolano has been known to have Mob ties in New Jersey.
>> Simon: So tell me again, Craig, how harmless this guy is? >> Margo: You know what, Simon? This guy could be dangerous. I don't want to have to worry about Katie and you. So why don't you let me put somebody on it, and I'll let you know how it shakes out, okay?
>> Simon: Fine.
>> Craig: It never ends, does it, Margo?
>> Margo: What, dealing with our family?
>> Craig: I meant your job.
>> Margo: It's the same difference.
[Craig chuckles.]

CRAIG MONTGOMERY AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Craig: Ah, Simon! Katie's gets in trouble on an hourly basis. She'll be all right.
>> Simon: She'd be still stuck on that island, Craig, if I'd listened to you.
>> Craig: Trust me on this -- I know women.
>> Simon: Oh, spare me, please. Beating a murder rap brought by your own wife is not really my idea of success with women.
>> Craig: All I'm saying is listen to me now. I won't steer you wrong.
>> Simon: So you're saying you know something that I don't? Because if you do, Craig, you'd better come clean. 'Cause I'm kind of in the mood to beat it out of you.
[Craig laughs.]
>> Craig: Simon, this thing with Bruno isn't real. It's just a plan to make you jealous. And, Simon, it seems to have worked.

Scene 2:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel
Scene: Craig Montgomery's Suite

CRAIG MONTGOMERY AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Craig: Katie and I made a deal to stop chasing amour, concentrate on something else in life.
>> Simon: So what are you saying, that Bruno was Katie's "something else"?
>> Craig: She wanted to make you jealous, Simon. But you know you had her in your pocket the whole time, didn't you?
>> Simon: Well, things have definitely changed between us since Malta, or so I thought. But she seems to be getting in over her head with this guy, Bruno.
>> Craig: She said he was a tad possessive, but then she is a tad dramatic, huh?
>> Simon: Look, I think it's a little more serious than that, Craig. When I saw her at the wedding, she practically threw herself at me. And then, Bruno shows up, and she goes ice cold. Look, I'm pretty sure that she's afraid of what he might do.
>> Craig: You really think she's afraid he might hurt her?
>> Simon: Maybe. But now that I think about it, maybe she's more afraid of what he might do to me.

Scene 3:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel
Scene: Craig Montgomery's Suite

MARGO HUGHES, SIMON FRASIER AND CRAIG MONTGOMERY

>> Margo: We have no evidence that Bruno has Katie or even if she went with him against her will.
>> Simon: Come on, Margo. Of course he forced her to go!
>> Craig: Oh, bucko, Katie's a very resourceful woman. I know this is a very foreign concept, Simon, but trust your wife. Katie will find a way out of this mess. She always does.
