• [first lines] 

  Cassie McBain : [seen alighting from bus, voice heard]  To say that it was a difficult mission, would be putting it mildly. It went like trying to plug a hole in the Titanic with a TikTak.

  Shane Phillips : [seen alighting from bus, voice heard]  Yeah, but we did it. Our mission was a success. Even though by the time we finished it had taken a bigger toll than the Pennsylvanian turnpike.

  D.D. Cummings : [seen alighting from bus, voice heard]  Actually, a better analogy would be the *Ohio* turnpike, which is more expensive and therefore could be a greater level of stress.

  Shane Phillips : [seen, but not really talking]  That is better, you're right.

  Cassie McBain : [seen, but not talking]  And what is our reward for a job well done? Were we hailed as heroes and anointed with precious spices and oils?

  Shane Phillips : [seen, but not talking]  *No!* There was no anointing, it was just Jack pushing as right into what we assumed was our next assignment.

  D.D. Cummings : [seen, but not talking]  For once, if he could just see what it was *like* out there. Instead of sitting behind his desk with his comfy chair

  [behind her, Jack alights from bus carrying little dictaphone from which these recorded voices eminate] 

  D.D. Cummings : and his ergonomic keyboard and his stained maple cup...

  Cassie McBain : [seen, but not talking]  And don't forget his nickel-plated Puerto Rican nose hair clippers.

  [Jack gives his long-suffering smile as he replays the evidence] 

  Cassie McBain : Not that he doesn't need those.

  [all laugh heartily on the recording, but in the present, slightly shamefaced in front of Jack] 

  Shane Phillips : Mm. Okay, we probably heard enough of that part of the conversation that you *secretly* recorded.

  D.D. Cummings : Besides, it's pretty much unfair anyway.

  [Jack continues to play back what she said:] 

  D.D. Cummings : Are you kidding? Sometimes the hair gets so long, I just wanna say "Jack, come on, either clip 'em or braid 'em."

  [Jack smirks spitefully and mimics nose hair clipping] 

  Cassie McBain : [on recording]  Damn, did you give him the nose hair clippers?

  D.D. Cummings : [on recording]  My uncle gave them to me for my dog, but he died of eczema.

  Shane Phillips : [on recording]  Your uncle?

  D.D. Cummings : [on recording]  My dog.

  Cassie McBain , Shane Phillips : [on recording]  Eww!
