I'm sorry, Luanne.

I was wrong.

I was hurting

and... and tired.

I couldn't think past

getting some rest.

It was very kind of you to

make the offer. I'll say.

Please.

I'm afraid if I don't have

something to cling to right now,

I'll run back to him

all over again.

You're not missing him,

are you'?

It's a vicious cycle.

What about your mother

in Minneapolis?

To be honest,

she doesn't have much.

She drinks.

I suppose I'll just be a burden.

You sure have an odd way

of showing gratitude.

Is that the blouse

you wore yesterday'?

Yeah. I washed it

in the sink.

Well, we'll have to do

something about that.

Where should I start'?

Well...

(mug thuds)

Who put the noose

around your neck'?

Hey, goddamn it, Lee!

Leave her alone.

She's a good kid.

(door opens)

Good morning.

LUANNE:
Morning.

(door closes)

Hi. Would you like

some coffee?

If you're pouring, I shall

drink whatever you've got.

Good morning.

Morning.

On vacation'?

Headed for Palm Springs.

My wife likes to think

that she can golf.

Can't she'?

She can swing.

Can't hit the ball,

but she can swing.

LUANNE:
Put on a fresh pot,

will ya, doll'?

Oh. I should probably get one

of those to go, for the wife.

She has a tough time

falling asleep,

but once she goes down,

a cadaver is easier to wake up.

And how long will you

stay in Palm Springs?

Shouldn't you be scrubbing

a toilet or something'?

(door opens, closes)

- Well, look who stayed.

- Good morning.

I was driving by and saw that Nova

still out there. I had a hunch.

Well, I best check on the wife.

Oh, hey, mister,

do I know you from somewhere?

Excuse me. Didn't you want a

to-go cup for your wife'?

- Oh, yes. Thank you.

- (door opens)

They took 'em!

(panting)

The diamonds!

FLYNN:
What'?

They took my diamond necklace!

Now, sweetie, will you

try and calm down?

Oh, thank God, Officer.

Someone broke into my room

and stole my diamond necklace.

Officer, my wife

is obviously mistaken.

I am not mistaken.

Don't you call me mistaken!

I always put it in the side

pocket of my suitcase.

You! I bet you know

where they are!

I suggest you listen to

your husband and calm down.

FLYNN:
Now, Officer, I'm dreadfully sorry

that you've been pulled into this.

- GLORIA:
He's trying to help!

- But this is the third time this week

that my wife has misplaced

her zirconia necklace.

She's always worried that

someone's going to steal it,

so she hides it so well

that she can't find it.

I most certainly did not hide it!

And besides...

No, darling, why don't you and

I just go search the room'?

Yeah, maybe you should go

and double-check

before you trouble

the officer any further.
