Allow me to be the first to say that what we have done here is not a good thing. It's definitely not a good thing. But it was, given the circumstances, the smart play.

Robert Boyd

If you take away the horror of the scene, take away the tragedy of the death, take away all the moral and ethical implications that have been drilled into your head since grade one, do you know what you're left with? A 105-pound problem that needs to be moved from point A to point B.

Robert Boyd

That's not the point, Adam. I mean, the room is covered in blow; Moore looks like he went at it with a ****in' mountain lion; I mean, the room looks like the Manson family stayed here a month. This is a major thin-ice situation we got here.

Boyd

Now, let's just take a second here and take a hold of the situation and review our options.

Adam

We'll call the police!

Boyd

Call the police. Good. That's one option.

Adam

That's not an option! This is not multiple choice, here!

Boyd

Yes, it is. There are always options, Adam. Nobody knows she's here. I called her personally. Nobody knows.

Adam

Her blood is all over the bathroom! Don't you think we got a little bit of a DNA problem here?

Boyd

It's a marble floor. We can clean it up. A simple vote. We've got two choices. One: we clean up this mess, right now, bury it out in the desert, go home, and never look back - or, we can easily call the police, roll the dice, take our chances, and pray to God that it's only Michael who falls.

Boyd
[Michael looks up, stricken]

Our choices are simple: desert - or police.

Security Guard
[seeing the mess in the room]

What the hell gets into you people?

Boyd
[cheerfully]

Drugs and alcohol.

Security Guard
[grins]

Well, I got no problem with that.
