Meg Altman
[After Officer Keeney asked what she meant when she said, "There were three..." on the phone]

Look, my husband and I just split up and it's my first night in a new house and I admit I was a little drunk. And the sentence, if you insist on knowing, was going to be, "There are three things that I'll do for you if you come jump into bed with me." Thank God I came to my senses before I said all that, and I hung up so nobody would ever have to know what I was thinking. Unless, of course, two policemen came in the middle of the night and interrogated me.

He'll do something.

No he won't.

He'll call the police.

You don't know her, mom. She won't let him.

No, he knows there is trouble. He heard me. He's right across the park. That's why we got houses so close to each other. Just in case we needed each other. He'll help us!

He won't.

Meg
[yells]

Yes he will! [pauses] I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry. I was trying not to tell you.

Meg
