Informant : [stands] I'm the one who called you.
[continues untying Paula]
Paula Peril : [puzzled, trying to understand] WHY are you helping me?
Informant : Listen, I'll explain it another time, but for now, just listen: it's the Finance Director - she's the one you need to talk to.
[continuing to cut Paula's bonds]
Informant : She has all the records - enough evidence to put Vincelli away FOR GOOD
Paula Peril : [stumbles & gasps as she is suddenly released from her pole-tie; is caught by the informant] I didn't think I'd get out of THAT one.
Informant : I think you're going to be around for awhile. Try to stay out of trouble... This little meeting of ours? - NEVER. HAPPENED.
[places his hand on Paula's shoulder - they stare meaningfully at each other]
Informant : Take care, Paula PERiL.
[he turns and walks off, then turns around & tips his hat]
Informant : I enjoy watching you work
[He turns again & leaves. Paula gazes wistfully after him as he goes. She starts to speak, but doesn't]
