Penelope Page #4

Alright. Look, I'm sorry, man.

Yeah, I know you are.

Did you have to gamble all night?

Yeah, I still had chips.

I'm good?

Yeah. Let's... come on, let's go.

Don't worry,

I'll get that.

And you are?

I'm Max Campion

and the agency sent me.

- Oh, right. Campion.

- There you go... sh*t.

Excuse me?

God Damn!

Alright, dear, we've done as you asked.

They're all in the annexe.

All of them?

All of them.

But why you wouldn't rather talk to them

one at a time is beyond me.

I told you mother this way it will be easier

to weed out the unlikelys.

Hello, I'm Penelope.

And you must be?

Late for tea?

Jake!

They're out, they're, they're running...

They've all seen her.

Where's Max?

Edward, do you see Max?

I don't see Max. He's not there.

There's no Max.

- How could you?

- Just speeding things up.

Oh, and now you're just going to

make a pig of yourself?

- No, that's already been done for me.

- Stop it.

That was the last of the ho-hos.

Where's your credit card?

I'm going to the store.

No, no, no don't you... hey!

If you want more ho-ho's

I'll send Jake for some.

I'm old enough

to get my own.

Pick me up some cigarettes.

Penelope,

just one man, one man.

And he'll run too. They always run

why can't you accept that?

For seven years I've been

watching them run.

Do you have any idea how that

makes me feel? Do you?

I'm sorry,

but we just can't quit.

Yes we can because...

no matter how much

I want to believe

there's one man who

won't run away

one man who...

Sweet loving angel of all

things merciful.

Did he see?

He must have.

He was there.

- Who is he?

- Who cares? Just go!

- Yes, go.

- No, I can't...

- Go!

- Go!

Damn it.

You're still here?

Did you see?

See?

You didn't see?

I didn't?

Did you?

Did I what?

Don't mess with me.

What? I'm messing with you?

Why are you still here?

Still?

Fine then,

why are you here?

Look I'm sorry. Should I go?

Are you a fan of George Rockham?

Who?

The book you've got in your jacket.

Oh, alright. You caught that, huh?

Well... yeah.

Yeah, it's a great book.

So you've read it?

Well, yeah.

Funny I thought that was the only

surviving copy.

You know what? I meant to read it, but

the library was always out

I saw it was a first edition

and I figured it might be worth something.

So you were stealing it?

Well... Yeah. I was stealing it.

So, you're a fan of the money?

I'm a big fan of the money.

Although, it doesn't much care for me.

Well, maybe you and the money

weren't meant to be.

Hey, I wouldn't go that far.

Jinx me.

There are 326 first editions

in that room.

Of those, 300 are worth

over 50,000.

A dozen or so are worth

over 25,000.

And I'm afraid there's only one
