## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

> [In front of the house]**Lily**Ugh. What the HECK was that!
> Darn you, subconscious!
> Only two days left till my final answer to Mr. Rich...and no closer to a solution.
> No dirt from Whitney...no legal magic from Sam and Philip...
> I gotta take matters into my own hands...get him back over here, talk him out of it.
> We had a good connection the other day--
> Ugh, I'm rambling...to myself! Should really find someone to talk to...[Lily walks near the garage towards Regina]**Lily**So SO happy to see you, Regina--REALLY need to get out of my busy head this morning!**Regina**Best cure for a mind in overdrive: focus on something completely different!**Lily**Like family secrets in a boarded up garage? Just a random example...**Regina**Sure. Why not. Help me remove these boards?

#### Remove Boards

> [Near the garage]**Lily**Wonder what we'll find in there. So far we got a plane...a white lady...a dead kid's riding trophies...The latter two are both your favorite category...**Regina**...
> Nah, I'm over it. Bring on the ghosts!

*A little while later*

> **Lily**All right, boardless and ready to reveal all its secrets, spooky or other--[Whitney walks towards Lily and Regina]**Whitney**Hey, ladies!**Regina**You're here early...**Whitney**Yeah...just HAD to show you this great bargain I got at Trollmart! You like Chick Sonic? They're my FAVORITE band![Whitney puts down the stereo and plays some music]**Lily**Huh? Whoa! LOUD!**Whitney**ACCORDING TO RECENT STUDIES, LISTENING TO MUSIC DURING REPETITIVE TASKS WILL HELP YOU PERFORM FASTER AND MAKE FEWER ERRORS!**Regina**WHAT??**Whitney**THE RELEASE OF DOPAMINE AND SEROTONIN MAKES YOU HAPPIER, MORE RELAXED, AND THUS MORE PATIENT AND RESPECTFUL TO YOUR COWORKERS!**Lily**What the HECK is going on?? And WHO are CHICK SONIC??

#### Talk To Whitney

> [Near the garage]**Lily**Whit, what's up with the ear-shattering soundtrack?**Regina**I like having some music...but WHY does it have to be so...bubblegum??**Whitney**Shhh. He's watching us. And when I say US, I mean ME. I found a bug in my hotel room!**Lily**Like a cockroach? You GOTTA ask for your money back!!**Whitney**Nonono, a WIRETAP.**Regina**Really? Probably been there since the 90s when those things were ACTUALLY used. Just like you boombox...**Whitney**The bug's not the newest model, but it was definitely placed there fairly recently.**Lily**Not by Mr. Rich though...When I confronted him about the camera, he was genuinely surprised...AND concerned.**Whitney**And you believe him??**Lily**I did so far...
> Hey! He promised to look into that. Perfect excuse to call and ask for another talk!**Regina**I think you're overreacting, Whit. Nobody is watching you.**Whitney**Don't be too sure. I have a sixth sense for these things...**Regina**I'll go check out the garage. Too much noise here. And definitely NOT a fan of Chick Sonic!

#### Explore Garage

> **Lily**Let's see what the LaRosa ladies kept in their garage...[Lily opens the garage]

> **Lily**\*cough\*
> Not a duster, that's for sure...**Regina**What a cool car!!
> Not in the best shape...but really classy!**Whitney**Classy car for a classy lady. Looks like Vivian had guts AND style.
> Standing up to the Nero family AND owning a pink convertible--she's got MY respect.

> **Lily**What's that on the dashboard?
> Look! It's Vivian with one of her horses. Dreamy...**Whitney**Oh! That must be What Dreams May Come--the horse they killed for the insurance money!**Lily**What a beautiful animal! And she looks so happy and tender with him...
> Now I understand why she put herself in danger and testified against the Nero family--
> When they murdered Dreamy, they broke her heart...
> Ugh...think I got some dust in my eyes...let's go back outside...**Whitney**I'll have a look what else I can find...if Vivian learned anything from dealing with the Neros, I should probably check the trunk...[Whitney leaves]

#### Call Mr. Rich

> **Lily**All right. Another day, another call to my old friend Leonard...
> ...no stalling today, no stuttering...**Regina**You can do it, Lils!**Lily**Yes I can! Here goes...[Lily calls Leonard]**Lily**\*ring ring\***Leonard**Hello, Lily. To what do I owe the pleasure today?**Lily**Hi, Leonard...
> Uhm...I was wondering...if you might have the time...perhaps...
> ...there is an issue...I would like to discuss...and not over the phone...if possible...**Leonard**I have a full schedule, but that does sound intriguing. I'll be over later in the day.**Lily**Thank you, Leonard. See you then!
> \*click\*[The call ends]**Lily**REALLY getting the hang of this!**Regina**You show 'em, girl! Noone mess with Lily Roberts!

Transition Dialogue

> [Near the garage]**Regina**If you ask me, Whitney's paranoid about being spied on.
> AND she has the worst taste in music! Chick Sonic?? Just...no.[Regina kneels to stop the stereo]**Regina**Ahh. Silence...**Lily**I actually liked it...Or maybe I was just happy not to hear my own thoughts for a while...[Whitney comes out the garage]**Whitney**Hey! Look what I found in the glove compartment of the convertible!

#### Talk To Whitney

> [Near the garage]**Lily**What did you find, Whit?[Whitney gives something to Lily]

> **Lily**A roll of film? Haven't seen one of THOSE in a while! D'you think there are actual photographs on there?**Whitney**Someone definitely took pictures on it back in the day...
> But hard to say if they have stood the test of time.
> I'll develop it later back at the hotel.**Lily**YOU'RE gonna develop it?**Whitney**Sure. Not the first time I've set up a darkroom.**Regina**Girl, I'd LOVE to see your CV some time...**Lily**Maybe AFTER we're done fixing the roof, the walls, and the driveway?

#### Rebuild Roof

> [Near the garage]**Lily**Look at that shabby roof...no wonder the car is in such a state.**Whitney**Some more Chick Sonic while we fix it?[Whitney kneels to play the stero]**Regina**Whitney! There's no one SPYING on you! And that music is an insult to my ears!**Whitney**Oh, there's someone spying all right.
> And Chick Sonic are feminist pop--what's not to like?
> I thought YOU of all people were a feminist, Regina?**Regina**It's the POP part I have a problem with! It's like rainbow cookies wrapped in cotton candy with a huge pink bow--**Lily**Guys...**Whitney**What's wrong with pink?**Regina**Lemme get my beautifully YELLOW drill to drown out that awful howling!**Lily**Play nice now! No need to fight over some music!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Groovy!**Regina**Better be talk in' about the roof...'cause the music is anything but![Regina kneels to stop the stereo]**Whitney**Hey! The song wasn't finished! You can't just cut it off like that! I need closure!**Lily**You kids quit it NOW! Quiet work on the windows! ONE WORD and I'll take the boombox away!!

#### Renew Walls

> [Near the garage]**Lily**So, did you find anything we can use on--**Whitney**Mr. X?**Regina**Guys: nobody's listening...**Whitney**Nothing incriminating yet...but I am sure Mr. X was a "business associate" of the Nero family.**Regina**No one CARES what you're talking about...**Whitney**My guess is money laundering. Once they were all locked up, Mr. X took over.**Regina**Seriously: NO SPY!**Lily**That sounds like enough to put...Mr. X away. Or at least make him back off and leave the estate alone...**Regina**I give up.**Whitney**Yeah...still looking for that smoking gun, though. Gotta be somewhere, and I'll find it!**Regina**Since I obviously don't exist...
> You won't mind if I leave you to your coo-coo conspiracy to work on these walls...**Lily**Whit, did you hear something?**Regina**Funny, Lils, very funny!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Wallicious!**Regina**Let's get the door done before your conspiracy spy meeting?**Lily**This is serious business, young lady!
> But yes, let's make the place look nice for...Mr. X.

#### Pave Driveway

> [Near the garage]**Lily**So, Whitney...why d'you develop your own photos? Wouldn't it be easier just to...drop them off...somewhere?**Whitney**Not many places left to do that...And I'd rather not have some stranger see what's on there.
> Also, I enjoy the practical application of scientific knowledge. Developing photographs is a helpful skill to have...**Regina**Yeah...in the 80s!**Lily**I think it's cool--very MacGyver!**Regina**Another thing better left in the 80s...**Lily**Excuse me?? What's wrong with MacGyver?**Whitney**Nothing! Entertaining AND educational from '85 to '92--**Regina**More than I wanted to know...**Whitney**...Plus the '94 TV movies and the current series that started in 2016...Not as good as the original, but--
> Regina TMI! Let's work...please??

*Player selects an option*
*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**MacGyveriffic!**Whitney**Haha, NOT a real word...but you know what is? To "MacGyver" actually made it into the Oxford Dictionaries--**Regina**I'm outta here...

#### Replace Windows

> [Near the garage]**Lily**Whitney, you take the right window...
> And Regina you take the left one...
> ...And not a peep!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Windowlicious, ladies!
> And such a peaceful work environment...
> Little boring, really.
> No comeback to my pun?
> No comment on my choice of windows? No?
> Oh, come on! Girls! I didn't mean it!
> Let's put on some music, replace those lamps, and forget I said anything?**Whitney**Yeah!! Finish that song!!**Regina**Nooo! NOT! CHICK!! SONIC!!!

#### Replace Door

> [Near the garage]**Lily**Did you find anything else I could use when I see Mr. X?"**Regina**We STILL ON that??**Whitney**As a matter of fact--yes.**Regina**Really? At least get creative...Signor Mobsterosi, Don Golden Crutch, Old Turle-ini...**Whitney**YES, I found something useful. Mr. X is a patron of the San Francisco Philharmonic, apparently LOVES the opera."**Regina**I'm invisible.**Lily**I don't mind some classical music...We can use the boombox when he gets here!**Regina**REPLACE! DOOR! NOW!**Lily**Sure--Lady Golden Drill

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**>Door-riffic!**Regina**Lady Golden Drill approves!

#### Replace Lanterns

> [Near the garage Regina plays some music]**Regina**Now THAT'S what I call MUSIC!
> Haven't had a dance-off in a while. How 'bout it, Whitney?[Lily and Regina starts dancing]**Whitney**Uhm... I don't dance.**Regina**Oh, come on! Even Lily dances...
> If you wanna call it that...**Lily**Hey! They say, dance like nobody's watching!**Regina**You truly do, Lils...So, Whitney?**Whitney**Nah, sorry, girls. I'll see if I can fix those lamps while you...do THAT...

*Player selects an option*

> **Whitney**Better than I expected. Design workshop in Helsinki finally paying off...**Lily**What did you say, Whit?**Whitney**Nothing. You ladies done? Just need to finish that Chick Sonic song...[Lily and Regina stop dancing]**Regina**NOOOOO!!!

Transition Dialogue

> [Near the garage Lily stops the stereo]**Lily**All right...Sounds classical to me...**Regina**All jokes aside, Lily...what IS your plan with Mr. Rich?**Lily**I...I think...the only way to stop him from suing is to get close to him. Get him to open up, share emotions, important memories...
> Once you've shown your vulnerable side to someone...you don't drag them to court!**Regina**I REALLY hope you're right about that...**Whitney**HE'S coming, Lily!**Regina**Come on, Whit. Lily's got this.[Regina and Whitney leave]**Leonard**Andy, Tony, wait by the gate. I don't wanna be disturbed.[Andy and Tony leave]**Leonard**Hello, Lily! Nice touch with the music--I love Puccini!**Lily**Hi, Leonard! Me too! Who knew we'd have something in common?**Leonard**You and I, we're not that different, Lily. Pretty sure about that...

#### Talk To Mr. Rich

> [Near the garage]**Leonard**So, Lily, you said you needed to talk about something?**Lily**Yeah...I was wondering if you looked into the hidden camera issue?**Leonard**Matter of fact, I did ask around. None of my connections knew anything about it.**Lily**It's just... I still have the feeling someone's watching me.**Leonard**And why exactly is that?**Lily**Uhm...just a feeling. Like...sensing someone's...around. It's...BUGGING me...**Leonard**I want you to feel safe, Lily. I'll investigate further.**Lily**Thanks, Leonard.**Leonard**Now, how 'bout you do some of your enchanting flower work?**Lily**Actually, it's weeds today...and those trees need to be replaced.

#### Clear Weeds

> [Near the garage]**Lily**There's something else is like to ask you...Uhm...**Leonard**Don't be shy, Lily. Out with it. I got no secrets from you.**Lily**Uhm...why'd you want to turn the estate into a golf course? After what happened to Uncle Arthur...**Leonard**What happened to Arthur was an ACCIDENT. And I didn't swing that club.**Lily**I'm sorry, I didn't mean--**Leonard**My best friend gets knocked out by a golf ball--right in front of my eyes...and his wife blames ME. How'd YOU feel?**Lily**Horrible! Absolutely devastated!**Leonard**Exactly! It was hard enough to watch Arthur struggle after the accident. Mary hating me was the cherry on top.**Lily**I'm sorry you had to go through--**Leonard**Ahem...how 'bout those flowers now?**Lily**Sure. Need to clear the weeds first. Stand back a little and I'll be done in no time.

*A little while later*

> **Lily**Clearriffic!**Leonard**And NOW for some flowers?

#### Replace Trees

> [Near the garage]**Lily**Gotta get rid of those trees...and plant something a little more...alive.

> **Lily**There! Lush and juicy and...treelicious!**Leonard**Ah, to be young and full of energy...
> I gotta admit, spending time here makes me all nostalgic...**Lily**What were you like back in the day?**Leonard**Hehe. Handsome young devil, as you can imagine...Optimistic, full of ideas, ready for adventure...
> But life happened...and I changed...**Lily**I can still see that cheerful go-getter in you...**Leonard**Hehe. Maybe YOU bring it out in me, Lily. Ah, I really enjoy our little talks.**Lily**You know what, Leonard: so do I.

#### Choose Potted Plants

> [Near the garage]**Lily**A couple nice flowerpots will make this look more homely...

*Player selects an option*

> **Leonard**Leave it to Lily Roberts to turn a garage into an eye catcher! Well done!**Lily**Thanks, Leonard.
> I know it's not easy to talk about...but would you tell me more about Uncle Arthur?**Leonard**Ahem. At be honest, his illness was as difficult for me as it was for Mary. I loved Arthur.

> **Leonard**I don't carry pictures of my children, but I always have this with me. It was taken the day of the accident...**Lily**You guys look so--
> Hey! Your ring...I've seen that symbol before! What does it mean?**Leonard**This old thing? The sign of the Order of the Ascending Eye. Some kinds traditional gentleman's club, that's all I know.
> Got the ring from my father. He was a member back in the day.**Lily**The Order of the Ascending Eye?? Why on EARTH is that symbol on the LaRosa mansion??**Leonard**Ah, yes, right above the entrance. If I remember correctly, there's a lot more of that around the estate...

#### Make Flower Beds

> [Near the garage]**Lily**Some green here...couple of blossoms there...**Leonard**Delightful, Lily! You make it look effortless! You're a natural.**Lily**Well...it wasn't always this easy...couple of bumps in the road...
> Ahm...but...sounds like your friendship with Uncle Arthur was a smooth ride from the beginning?**Leonard**If there's anything smooth here, it's your talkin', young lady...
> But yes, we were like brothers. His family was my family.**Lily**How did you get so close to the LaRosas?**Leonard**Well...you gotta understand...my father was a...complicated man. And my mother--
> After I was born, she fell into depression. My father didn't know how to deal with it, so he had her committed.
> A couple years later, he got her placed in a trial for the most advanced treatment at the time...
> She never came back to us. And my father became even harder to live with.**Lily**Oh, Leonard...Your poor mother! I'm so sorry you and your dad had to go through this.**Leonard**Well. Yes. Maybe now you can see how much it meant to me havin' a second home with the LaRosas.
> My fondest memories are connected to this place. This is where I felt safe. This is where I felt loved.**Lily**I know the importance of chosen family...Funny we both found it here...

Transition Dialogue

> [Near the garage]**Leonard**What's the ruckus over there?[Lily and Leonard turn their gaze to the driveway's gate]**Lily**Oh...oooh, that's my...my neighbor...[Lily and Leonard walks towards Luke who's been stopped from Andy and Tony]**Luke**Dudes! I'm just here to see my...my Lily...--not mine...she's just...Lily...**Lily**Luke! Just...I'll be there in a minute, okay?**Leonard**Andy, Tony--give the man some room to breathe. We'll be right out.[Andy, Tony and Luke leave]**Leonard**Unfortunately, it's time for me to leave.[In front of the mansion]**Leonard**I'll take care of the camera issue. If someone is watching you, I'll be very interested to know who it is.
> For now, though...thank you for another lovely afternoon, Lily. Never thought I'd enjoy our little chats so much.**Lily**Thank YOU...for telling me about Uncle Arthur and...everything else...See you soon, Leonard.[Leonard, Andy and Tony leave]**Lily**Roxy!! Come here! I MISSED you, girl!**Roxy**Borfborfborfborfborf![Lily pets Roxy]**Luke**Lily--**Whitney**Right...I'll go get that boombox...[Whitney leaves]**Lily**...

I saw your missed calls...sorry, ran outta battery hiking with Roxy and good ol' ban-jovi!...**Lily**You grabbed your dog and your...banjo and just SPLIT?? With everything's that's going on here?**Luke**What do you mean? What's been goin' on?**Lily**Are you SERIOUS right now?
> While you're playing Hollywood with Will "Action Man" Donald, I'm trying to stop Mr. Rich from suing my home out from under our butts!**Luke**Hold on a sec...Mr. Who does what now? That the dude in the white suit?**Lily**Are you KIDDING me? Do you not listen to ANYTHING I say? You are INCREDIBLY self-centered--**Luke**Ahm...kinda feel like I caught you at a bad time, Lils. I'm gonna be off now...I'll be home if you need me.[Luke leaves]**Lily**Sure! Go, run away! That's what you do!**Roxy**\*whimper\***Lily**Not you, girl. You're good.[Lily pets Roxy and Whitney walks towards Lily]**Whitney**Hey, Lily! How was your rendezvous with Mr. Rich?**Lily**NOT a rendezvous...[Regina from the scaffold speaks loudly]**Regina**Girls! Get up here! Fixing the roof's no fun alone! Plus I wanna hear about Lily's date!**Lily**Definitely NOT a date!

#### Rebuild Roof

> [On the mansion's roof]**Whitney**So, how'd it go with Leonard? Did you charm his pants off?**Lily**Everyone stayed fully clothed, no hanky-panky, no shenanigans--that all?**Regina**What's wrong, Lils?**Lily**Sorry, just a little irritated...it went okay, I guess...got him to open up a little.
> He talked about growing up without his mom...really sad...his dad put her away in a mental asylum--for a postpartum depression!**Whitney**It's TERRIBLE what they did to people with mental health issues back then!
> Really glad I live in the 21st Century. 90 years ago, they just locked you up--or worse.**Lily**Ugh. I really feel for young Leonard... What a rough thing to go through as a child.**Regina**Yeah...but he's OLD Leonard now. And OLD Leonard wants to drag you to court!**Lily**Still. That...and then Uncle Arthur's accident and illness--which Aunt Mary blamed him for...he seemed really shaken.**Regina**Girl--I love you for your compassion, I really do. But you need to focus!**Whitney**Yes! Focus on how you can woo the old mafioso!**Lily**Ugh. I feel like I need to focus on clearing my head...**Regina**Gimme a hand with the widow's walk...that'll get your mind off things.

#### Replace Roof Tiles

> [On the scaffold near the mansion's roof]**Lily**Good thing none of us suffers from vertigo...**Regina**Vertigo, shmertigo. It's TILE TIME!! You girls ready?

*Player selects an option*
*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Lily? Tile-licious?
> Yeah...something like that...Wish everything was as easily fixed as the roof...**Whitney**Well one step after the other--did you ask Mr. Rich about the camera?**Lily**Yeah. He said that he's got nothing to do with it. And I believe him.**Whitney**Really? I don't trust that old mobster further than I can throw him-- and he looks heavy.**Lily**He seems honest...I think he likes me...and he trusts me...
> I have a feeling all the talking is getting me somewhere.
> But will it be enough? I don't know...**Regina**Maybe roses and chocolates'll do the trick?**Lily**You'll stop quipping when he gets the estate and kicks you out of your tower...princess!**Regina**Sorry, Lils. I didn't mean it. It's just--
> It looks like he's enjoying the attention of a lovely, witty young woman...until he goes through with his evil plan.**Lily**\*sigh\*

Transition Dialogue

> [On the mansion's roof]**Whitney**I better head back to the hotel if I wanna get that film developed today...Bye, ladies!**Lily**Bye, Whit!

> So...what's happening with Luke?

#### Rebuild Dormers 2/2

> [On the scaffold near the mansion's roof]**Regina**Tell me what's going on with you two lovebirds.**Lily**Ugh. All right. We had a fight.
> I'm SO upset with him: I'm stressed out about Mr. Rich, and NO support from Luke!

> What about ME? What about MY HOME? Doesn't he CARE?**Regina**Lily...are you sure you ever actually TOLD Luke about Mr. Rich?**Regina**I mean--he was gone...and when he came back, you had that non-date...and then he was barely around...**Regina**Maybe he simply...doesn't know...**Lily**I...what...I don't...**Regina**Looks like you need some time to mull things over.

What's up?[Luke gets down from the balcony]**Lily**Uhm...I want to apologize.**Luke**Ah, no need, that's all right.**Lily**No. I've been...completely frazzled lately. And I just assumed you knew why...but you didn't. You don't.**Luke**You're a little stressed...it's fine.**Lily**It's not fine. Leonard Ricci--the guy in the white suit? He's threatening to sue me for the estate.**Luke**What the...Who does he think he is? Want me to "talk" to him? Man to man?**Lily**That's...sweet...? But no. I'm dealing with it my way.**Luke**I'm sure you'll figure it out. You always do, Lils.**Lily**That's the thing. This time I don't know what to do.
