We brought you this little housewarming gift. [Gives Mrs. Connelly a bottle of wine]
Mrs. Connelly Oh, that's very kind of you, thank you. I'll open it for you. I don't drink myself, it's a sin.
Mrs. Connelly Sit down, dears, sit down! I brought ya a little something to nibble on as well.
Oh, Bugles. Wow, I didn't realize they even still made Bugles.
Mrs. Connelly [Offering Alex a Bugle dipped in French onion dip]
Come along, dear, it's French onion.
[Alex nibbles it while looking at the box of Bugles. The expiary date reads 'October 1997']
Magnificent parrot.
Mrs. Connelly It's not a parrot, dear. He's a macaw. He's named after my late husband, Richard. I've had Little Dick for forty years.
Mrs. Connelly [Alex and Nancy smile]
Now tell me about yourselves. What do you do, Allen?
Alex is a writer.
Mrs. Connelly Oh, a writer. I always thought of that as more of a hobby than a real job. I suppose I'm forgettin' about Joyce.
Joyce, James Joyce, of course. Wonderful writer.
Mrs. Connelly He died drunk and penniless.
Well, Alex's first novel was published in hardback, and he's just about to finish his second one.
Mrs. Connelly Oh, what's it about?
Well, I like to call it an urban epic. It's about three generations of this family in New York that own a printing press, and I tell a story mainly about...
Mrs. Connelly [Bored, cutting him off]
Oh, that's nice. Let me give you a refill. Big Dick had the taste, too. He was a seaman. The drink took him from me in 1963. We'd been married for 58 years.
[Nancy counts silently]
Mrs. Connelly I always thought it was strange, your husband staying home while you were out there, providin'.
Well, he's a writer.
Mrs. Connelly [laughs]
Writer? The man naps more than a newborn pup. What's he writing about, sheep?
Is there something, Mrs. Connelly?
Mrs. Connelly Oh, I guess ya could say there was something! I've got 'something' on display in my kitchen.
Mrs. Connelly That is the leavings of a mouse.
It's a raisin!
Mrs. Connelly [Nancy puts the raisin in her mouth. Her expression turns to disgust as she hacks up the raisin]
I spayed it with Lysol.
Mrs. Connelly [Regains consciousness and notices Nancy's hands on her chest]
What are ya doin'?!
You were choking on a chocolate.
[Connelly looks at Alex, who has lipstick on his lips from when he was reviving her]
You choked on a chocolate.
Mrs. Connelly Awww!
Officer Dan [Cut to the police station]
Go on, Mrs. Connelly.
Mrs. Connelly The last thing I remember, I ate one of their chocolates. When I woke up, he was havin' his way, and she was holdin' me down!
No, no, I was trying to save her life!
Mrs. Connelly He stole my drawers once. For sniffin'!
That's ridiculous! She was choking on a chocolate so I gave--
Officer Dan DO... shut up.
