Rose Rose<br />

I bet you are still mad.<br />

Jack<br />

I am in mourning. It's not the same thing.<br />

Rose Rose<br />

We could be glad they didn't put me in jail.<br />

(Conciliatory)<br />

And who knows, they could've put you in jail too for teaching me wrong.<br />

Jack<br />

I didn't teach you wrong. You listened wrong.<br />

Rose Rose<br />

I'd buy you a new truck. Even if it took all the money I got. I'll make it up to you.<br />

Jack<br />

I want the one I had back.<br />

Suddenly its all too much for her. She begins to cry. This embarrasses him and makes him feel<br />

guilty. Jack puts his arm around her, draws her head against his chest.<br />

Jack<br />

Don't worry about a thing. It's all gonna be just fine. <strong>The</strong> worst has already happened. So you<br />

got your picture in the paper and they made you look foolish. That don't count for a damn thing.<br />

By tomorrow, everybody will have forgotten about it. No jail time, just a whopping big fine,<br />

which we already paid. My car insurance'll take care of all the rest.<br />

Rose Rose<br />

I'll do better next time.<br />

(Beginning to recover)<br />

I promise.<br />

Jack blanches at the thought of a next time.<br />

Jack<br />

Course my insurance company'll raise my rates so high, I'm gonna think I'm driving the space<br />

shuttle.<br />

Rose Rose<br />

Could I really have gone to jail?<br />

Jack
