> **Flo**Zzz...Teeeed...you're zzzooo boring...

> **Flo**Zzz..HUH![In the Butler's Room, Cats sit on the bed with Flo standing next to it]**Flo**AAAAAWWWW! Kitty kitty! Good morning, Green Sweater Cat and Blue Sweater Cat!
> Say, where's our friend Penny?
> SOMEBODY didn't come home last night...
> Gosh, I hope she and Butch worked things out.
> I wonder if Daphne knows anything...**Green Sweater Cat**Meow?

#### Call Daphne

> [Flo walks to the speaking tube]**Flo**Daphne? Daphne? How does this thing work, anyway?**Daphne**Tube works fine. \*COUGH\* It's my hangover...**Flo**Oh, yes, your medicine may have some side effects...
> Say, you don't know where Penny is, do you?**Daphne**I assume she's absorbing the tears of that pathetic man.**Flo**Aw, Daphne! Butch is sweet.**Daphne**They're all sweet! Doesn't mean you should keep one for a pet.**Flo**You don't like pets?**Daphne**...
> I need some coffee... and some more sleep. Ta-ta for now.[Flo turns away from the speaking tube]**Blue Sweater Cat**Meow?

#### Clean The Kitchen

> [Flo walks from the Butler's Room to the Kitchen]**Flo**Oh gosh, this kitchen is in sad shape. Sadder than Butch!
> Well, as Mama always said, this kitchen ain't gonna clean itself!

Transition Dialogue

> [Flo cleans the kitchen]**Flo**All right, clean kitchen!
> But no coffee...\*Scratch Scratch\***Flo**Wait, what's that scratching sound?
> Penny? Is that you... somehow hiding in the kitchen island?,br>No, that's silly! The only LOGICAL explanation is...
> CALVIN'S GHOST!
> I should work on that kitchen island anyway...
> Not scared not scared not scared...

#### Fix Kitchen Island

> [In front of the island]**Flo**Okay, fix the kitchen island, don't worry about the sounds...
> No such thing as ghosts, no such thing as butlers...[Flo jumps in surprise as a cat walks out of a cupboard]**Flo**AaaAAAH!
> Jeez, you gave me a scare, little kitty and...
> Hey, there's coffee inside that cupboard. Perfect. Now... let's get this thing fixed.

*Player chooses an option*

> **Flo**Done! So... what should we call you, Coffee Cat?

*Player chooses a name*

> **Flo**Yes, Pink Sweater Cat, that suits you fine!**Pink Sweater Cat**MRRRROWWLLL!**Flo**But wait, you're hungry, aren't you? And so are your buddies!
> Cat food in the fridge? Or make coffee on the stove?

#### New Refrigerator

> [At the refrigerator]**Pink Sweater Cat**MEEOEWOW!!**Flo**Okay, okay, I'll check the fridge for cat food!

> **Flo**Bingo! 57 cans of Lobster Delight.[Flo puts the bowl of cat food on the floor]**Flo**Here you go, little buddies. I'll fix the fridge while you eat.

*Player chooses an option*

> **Flo**It's fridgetastic! Enjoying your lobster treat, little buddies?**Pink Sweater Cat**PRRRRRRRR...**Flo**Yes, it's delicious! And... GO, LOBSTERS!
> That's so cool that Penny's dad is the coach!
> Wait, Penny's dad really wanted Penny to come back. Did he...
> KIDNAP his own kid?**Pink Sweater Cat**Mrrreow?**Flo**Yeah, you're right, Pink Sweater Cat. I just miss Penny. I hope she comes back soon...

#### New Stove

> [At the stove]**Flo**Coffee time! Daphne will be relieved...
> Hmm, but this stove top isn't going to cut it. How about...

*Player chooses an option*

> **Flo**NOW we're cookin'!**Pink Sweater Cat**MRROWWL!![Flo walks to stand in front of the cats]**Flo**Yes, you're right. Daphne will be so pleased!
> I just want to march in there with Penny, and...
> Oh, gosh, I hope Penny is okay.
> She must have been in such a state, running after Butch.
> What do you think, kitties? Will she be all right?**Pink Sweater Cat**...**Green Sweater Cat**...**Blue Sweater Cat**...**Flo**You could at least cough up a hairball or something to ease my mind.

#### New Stools

> [Flo and the cats walk to the stools]**Flo**So what if Daphne wants to enjoy the coffee here?
> She might want a place to sit! New bar stools!

*Player chooses an option*

> **Flo**Hooray! A cozy gathering place in the kitchen![Penny walks into the Kitchen]**Penny**Maybe we should gather, then.[Flo runs up to Penny]**Flo**PENNY! I am SO glad to see you!**Penny**Coffee ready? I need it.[Daphne walks in and hovers at the Kitchen doorway]**Daphne**Um, excuse me, Flo... COFFEE?**Flo**Kiss my grits, Sugar-pie!**Daphne**Haha!

#### Coffee Talk

> [Daphne and Penny sit on the stools as Flo stands on the other side of the island]**Flo**Penny, I can't tell you how happy I am to see you!
> We were so worried! Weren't we, Daphne?**Daphne**We were?**Penny**Thanks for your concern... Butch and I talked all night.**Flo**And?**Penny**He was SO upset! He was projectile-weeping!**Daphne**What a snowflake.**Penny**But I don't want to hurt him. I don't want to blow a good thing with a good man.**Flo**But you were listening to your heart, Penny. It was saying important things.**Penny**I've just gotta silence that voice, and get through this. That's how life works.**Flo**But...**Daphne**What is in this coffee, anyway? Cuz I'm hearing crazy talk.**Penny**I'm sorry, but this adventure is over for me. I'm going back to get married.**Flo**...

#### New Kitchen Floor

> [By the doorway]**Flo**Well, at least we have you for the moment.**Penny**Don't get me wrong, Flo. I love doing this with you.**Flo**Well, then pick a floor you love!

*Player chooses an option*

> **Penny**I do love how that came out.**Flo**Me, too. Doing this with you is just the best.**Daphne**Why don't you practice bringing Butch a beer? See if it sparks joy.**Penny**Please, Daphne, let me enjoy these last few hours with you guys.**Flo**That's right, Penny. Focus on the POSITIVE!**Daphne**Sure. Like, you're positively making the biggest mistake of your life.

#### Fix Kitchen Walls

> [By the fridge]**Penny**Let's do something with these walls.**Flo**Yeah, what design really gives the room a hug?

*Player chooses an option*

*Player chooses another option*

> **Flo**Yes! Makes me want to stay in this kitchen forever!**Daphne**Or run off with some useless man later today...[Penny and Flo walk towards Daphne]**Flo**Daphne, I wish you weren't so neg...**Daphne**Marriage! What is it good for?**Flo**That sounds like a protest chant from the 1960s.**Daphne**Maybe I should print some signs and march around the kitchen.**Penny**That would be more entertaining, anyway.**Daphne**Take it from an old bird who's seen men come and go...**Penny**He's good, Daphne. You'll see.

#### Violet's Request

> [Penny stands at the sink]**Flo**PSST! Penny! While you're still here...[Penny walks to Flo by the doorway]**Flo**I talked with Violet, and she might be a NICE hellspawn...**Penny**What do you mean?**Flo**She's kind of a cold fish, but I think she really cares about her mom.**Penny**Cares? In what way?**Flo**Daphne can't keep this place up all by herself. And now you're leaving...**Penny**Cut to the chase, Flo. What happened?

> **Flo**She left me with this Power of Attorney thingy. Lets Violet make decisions...**Penny**And you think she'd do the right things for her mom?**Flo**I think so? But I don't...[Penny and Flo jump in surprise]**Daphne**What in the world are you girls hissing about now??

Transition Dialogue

> [Pink Sweater Cat walks behind the trio to join the other cats sitting by the doorway]\*DING DONG\***Penny**Hey, maybe that's Mike! He said he'd be back...[the cats walk out of the Kitchen]**Daphne**Well, don't just stand there, girl, GO GET HIM!**Penny**I WILL! Get... the door...
> ...

#### Answer The Door

> [Outside on the front steps]**Penny**Hello, Mi... not Mike!**Dave**Not Mike. DAVE. I'm looking for my car.**Penny**Um, your... car?**Dave**'66 T-bird. Her name is Thelma. Have you seen her?**Penny**I... how do you feel about... planters?**Dave**Planters?[Dave walks down the steps]**Dave**...[Dave walks closer to the planter]**Dave**Oh, Thelma. What have they done to you?**Penny**I'll leave you alone with... Thelma... be right back...

#### Fix Big Cupboard

> [In the Kitchen]**Flo**Okay, time to tackle the BIG cupboard!**Daphne**No sense waiting for unreliable Penny. How about this style?

*Player chooses an option*

> **Daphne**See? We can pick a good one without her.**Flo**You know, I'm not crazy about her leaving, either.[Daphne walks closer to the island]**Daphne**You seem to keep up a positive front.**Flo**That's just the way I... can't you DO something?**Daphne**If I knew how to use Jedi mind tricks, I'd do it all the time.**Flo**But you're so good at persuading people...**Daphne**Look, if there's one thing I've learned in life, it's not to mess with someone else's love.**Flo**You talk like you've...**Daphne**Even when they're dead wrong.

#### Comfort Dave

> [Penny walks into the Kitchen]**Penny**Uh, guys? Could you come out by the front door?
> I just need you to be witnesses when the owner of the T-bird breaks me in half.[They walk out the Kitchen]

Transition Dialogue

> [Outside, at the top of the steps]**Flo**Oh my. He is large. And sad. What's his name?**Penny**That's Dave. And the car is Thelma, apparently.**Dave**Oh, Thelma. I had dreams for us. Retirement dreams. Route 66 dreams.[Flo walks down the steps]**Penny**Flo, be careful!**Flo**Um, Mister Dave? I know this is rough time, but... would you like some coffee?**Dave**Coffee? I was hoping for a functional classic automobile.**Flo**I'm terribly sorry about this. Allow me to explain about the sweater-cat.**Dave**I prefer tea. With sugar.**Flo**Okay. Come inside and let's talk about the transient nature of things...[Dave and Flo walk up the steps]

Transition Dialogue

> [Dave sits on the left stool at the island as Daphne, Flo and Penny stand by it]

#### Fix Left Cabinet

> **Flo**While you sip your tea, Dave, what do you think about these cabinets here?**Dave**Hmm, how about...

*Player chooses an option*
*Player chooses another option*

> **Daphne**Dave has quite the taste in cabinets!**Flo**Dave, I feel like I should explain. I was renting a car for a wedding...**Dave**I assume it had already been purloined at that point?**Flo**Hindsight says yes!**Dave**Can you tell me anything about the... rental agency?

> **Flo**He said his name was Gigi...**Dave**Blond hair? Beady eyes?**Flo**Yes! Exactly![Flo stands to the left of a sitting Dave]**Dave**That would be Gorgeous Gordon. I may pay him a visit...

#### Fix Right Cabinet

> [Flo stands by the other stool]**Flo**If the tea is inspiring you, Dave, what should we do with these cabinets?**Dave**Well, what if you go with...

*Player chooses an option*

*Player chooses an option*

> **Penny**Good call, Dave!**Flo**Dave, would it help you to talk about Thelma?**Dave**I suppose some catharsis would be therapeutic at this point.
> I saved up for her for five years, working at security jobs.
> I love my bike, but... there was something about doing Route 66 in a convertible...
> Took me another two years to restore her to mint condition.**Flo**That must make it extra hard!**Dave**The folly of human ambition. It was my Tower of Babel. Toppled into...**Penny**A planter. Yeah...

#### Fix Stove Hood

> [Daphne, Penny and Flo stand by the stove]**Flo**The vent hood over the stove is SO high up...**Daphne**If only we had someone TALL and STRONG to help us...[They turn to face Dave as he walks to them]**Dave**I'm good at taking hints. How about this...[Dave walks to the stove]

*Player chooses an option*

> **Flo**Nice job, Dave!**Dave**Why, thank you. That was quite satisfying.[Dave turns to face the group]**Daphne**Maybe you'd like to stick around and fix a few more things?**Dave**Absolutely. I spend a lot of my time doing community service.**Flo**Oh, did a judge...**Dave**Voluntarily. My motorcycle gang is really a service club.**Flo**Oh, so...**Dave**We DO like to ride our hogs. But then we help people out.

#### Fix Left Shelves

> [Dave stands by the stove as Flo walks to the left cabinet]**Flo**Dave, maybe you could help me with this wall storage over here.[Dave walks over]**Dave**Sure thing, Flo. Let's go with...

*Player chooses an option*

> [Penny and Daphne stand by the doorway]**Daphne**Nice work over there! Those two are getting along famously.**Penny**Yeah, it's so nice that Dave turned out to be... sweet.**Daphne**We can squeeze LOTS of work out of that one!**Penny**Daphne![Flo and Dave walk over]**Dave**Haha! Flo was just telling me about how you schooled the cop!**Daphne**Was she, now?**Dave**Very impressive, turning into a criminal defense attorney.**Penny**But... we're not really criminals.**Dave**That's what I love. You played a legal game to show him a larger justice.

#### Fix Right Shelves

> [Flo and Dave stand in front of the sink]**Flo**You're so good at this, Dave! Can you help with these shelves on the right?**Dave**It would be my pleasure. How about these?

*Player chooses an option*

> [Penny and Daphne stand to the right of the island]**Penny**That came out well! What a team!**Daphne**I wonder if we should recruit Dave's whole gang.**Penny**A dozen Daves? There's a wild thought.**Daphne**For some reason, I think there's really only one Dave.[Dave and Flo walk over]**Dave**Penny! Flo was just telling me how you met. It's beautiful!
> And then dramatic arrival here, where they met you, Daphne!
> Having strangers suddenly become friends... it's worth so much!**Daphne**Worth a... classic car?**Dave**Yes, actually. It's on a higher plane of cosmic values...

Transition Dialogue

> [Pink Sweater Cat walks to the group at the Kitchen doorway]**Dave**Good people, I need to be on my way.**Flo**I don't suppose we could talk you into coming back...**Dave**Oh, I'll definitely be back tomorrow...
> I just need to get some tools to fix up the car.**Flo**I just love your positive mental attitude! I'll see you out...

#### See Dave Out

> [Outside by the planter]**Flo**Thanks for all your help today, Dave.**Dave**It was pleasant and satisfying. More tomorrow!**Flo**Good night![Dave walks off as Violet sneaks up behind Flo]**Violet**Hello, Flo.**Flo**GAH!
> I mean, h-HI, Violet!**Violet**Did you follow through on our little agreement?**Flo**Well, I just said I'd try...**Violet**Trying is not the same as SIGNING.[They turn to look at Daphne and Penny at the top of the steps]**Daphne**Signing? You're giving autographs now?[Daphne and Penny walk down the steps]**Violet**What do you think, Mommie Dearest?**Daphne**I think you're trying a new angle with that Power of Attorney!**Violet**It's going to happen, Mother! Might as well just accept it!**Daphne**You'll stick me in a nursing home...over my dead body!**Violet**As you wish, Mother. And a good night to you all...[Violet walks off]**Daphne**...

#### Nightcap With Daphne

> [In the Trophy Room, Daphne sits on the sofa with Penny and Flo on the armchairs]**Daphne**I'm sorry you had to see that ugliness with Violet...
> But now that I have my medicine, my disposition is improving!
> So go ahead, ask me anything!
