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
