"The Trial of Westward Ho, Part XII"

            (An airport.  SUNNY is with MR. BALDHAWK.)

SUNNY
I have a magazine that I’m not reading.

MR. BALDHAWK
No, thank you.  I could have handled this on my own.

SUNNY
I’m sure---

MR. BALDHAWK
It’s my car---

SUNNY
Do you think---?

MR. BALDHAWK
I don’t see---

SUNNY
She doesn’t trust you yet.  Not fully.

            (MR. BALDHAWK scuffles his foot on the carpet.  He pats his lines of
            recession.)

MR. BALDHAWK
I see.

SUNNY
Ah, the board just changed.

MR. BALDHAWK
It did?

SUNNY
Yes.  Rome.  The Renaissance.  Arriving now.  Let’s go.
 
MR. BALDHAWK
Let’s go.

            (They stare at the board.)

            END OF PART XII.
