> [Penny, Daphne and Flo stand at the bottom of the stairs]**Penny**Daphne is right, Flo. This is BAD.**Daphne**I... need to go now.[Daphne glides up the stairs and out of the room]**Flo**Granting Dirk an interview was the only way to make him stay away!
> I did it for YOU, Penny! I know Dirk has been stressing you out!**Penny**Flo, there are other things stressing me...
> ...and this is NOT helping!

#### Flo, NO!

> **Flo**Penny, I don’t know why you’re so mad. I did this to cheer you up!**Penny**Okay, you get points for good intentions...
> ...but Dirk is going to eat you alive!**Flo**You know? The truth is on our side. So I just have to tell the truth...**Penny**No, Flo, he twists the truth! He’s going to destroy you!**Flo**You know, Penny, you worry a lot. Like, a LOT.**Penny**Maybe stop giving me things to worry about?**Flo**No, it’s your whole approach to life. If you didn’t worry, you’d be happy.**Penny**Maybe I... I guess we’re just different, Flo.
> Daphne was telling me about how she and Calvin were different...[Flo walks to the desk]**Flo**That's sweet! Hey, the diary is unlocked!

#### Read Calvin's Diary

> **Penny**Yeah, I found a key, and I helped Daphne read it.
> And there was something in it that really surprised her.**Flo**Oo, I wanna know![Flo gets closer to the desk]

> **Flo**This is fascinating! Except where it’s not...
> He keeps the house perfect... goes fishing... goes fishing again...
> Ooo, star-gazing with Daphne?
> Wait, it’s just sitting and looking...
> Where’s the surprising part?**Penny**It was at the end.**Flo**"The lilacs of autumn will emit their fragrance this very year..." WHAT?[Flo and Penny stand by the desk]**Flo**What's the deal with the lilacs and the hummingbird?**Penny**I don't know! But it sure meant a lot to Daphne...

#### New Closet

> **Penny**That closet needed replacing BEFORE the flood.**Flo**Sure did. How about this new one?

*Player chooses an option*

> **Penny**Perfect! Now I’ll have lots of space in my half of the closet.**Flo**You always wear the same thing, but sure!**Penny**Look who’s talking!**Flo**Hey, when you’re comfortable, you’re comfortable.**Penny**Okay, what's next, Red Sweater Woman?

#### New Rug

> **Penny**You know what doesn’t do well in floods? RUGS!**Flo**You can say that again! How about this new one?

*Player chooses an option*

> **Penny**Attractive, and not squishy!**Flo**I like that combination!**Penny**Daphne talked a lot about Calvin when you were out.
> Turns out they were different in almost every way.
> And that was... a GOOD thing.**Flo**Aw. I love when you get all mushy.**Penny**Don’t get TOO used to it. What’s next?

#### Meanwhile...

*LeFleur Cosmetics 9:45AM*

> **Dirk**She walked right into it. I didn’t even have to use bait.**Violet**Splendid! This is working out better than I hoped.**Dirk**I’ll tear her apart without breaking a sweat.**Violet**Don’t take it TOO lightly...
> If you’re going to break her, then break her ALL the way!**Dirk**Oh, she’ll be ripping up that Power of Attorney paper...
> ...and using it to absorb her pathetic tears!**Violet**That’s what I like to hear!
> And maybe when she runs sobbing from the mansion...
> ...her little friend Penny will run with her!

Transition Dialogue

> [Daphne glides down the stairs]**Daphne**Well, girls, sorry I had to step out for a moment...**Flo**Welcome back, Daphne! I peeked in the diary. Hope that’s okay.**Daphne**Well, the owner is not in a position to object.**Penny**May I ask, what was the part that seemed so surprising to you?**Daphne**It's a long story. Like Calvin and I were a long story. Just didn't expect that twist at the end...**Penny**A new twist? Ten years later?**Daphne**Calvin always had the ability to surprise me. That's why he made treasure hunts for me!**Penny**Let’s deal with this old heater, and maybe there will be more surprises...

#### New Heater

> **Daphne**This old boiler is on its last legs...**Penny**How about if we replace it with a new, efficient heater?

*Player chooses an option*

> **Daphne**Wonderful! Now the house won’t go ice cold on a moment’s notice!**Penny**Daphne? I found this little piece of metal in the old one.

> **Flo**It’s like someone took an old coin and sliced it up like a pie.**Daphne**Oh my! I know what this is!
> A piece of eight!**Penny**As in, pieces of eight, the old pirate currency?**Daphne**Exactly! The treasure hunt is ON![They stand by the heater]**Daphne**Check everything as you go!
> The cabinet, the lamp... even that stuffed fish!**Flo**A treasure hunt, eh? I'll fetch me eye patch then! Yar!

#### New Cabinet

> **Daphne**I’d really like a new cabinet by the stairs.**Penny**That would fit so well! What about this?

*Player chooses an option*

> **Daphne**Perfect! Calvin used to keep his cleaning supplies there.**Flo**Yar, but did any of you scalliwags find pirate coins?**Daphne**Oh, I’m definitely excited for more pirate coins!
> Calvin was SUCH a meticulous cleaner. He was meticulous at everything.
> There was one time when normal cleaning was not enough...**Penny**Hmm, a Crazy Cleaning Calvin story?

#### Old fish, New Fish

> [They stand by the heater]**Flo**Why is that fish skeleton over the heater?**Daphne**Because it needs to be replaced... with this!

*Player chooses an option*

> **Penny**Much better taxidermy on this one.[Flo gets closer to Daphne]

> **Flo**Yar, maties! There be another piece of eight wedged behind the old fish!**Daphne**That’s a wonderful discovery![They stand by the heater]**Penny**But if Calvin left it back there on purpose... WHY?**Daphne**Maybe to remind me of the fishing adventure we once had together.**Flo**An adventure? On the high seas? Shiver me timbers!**Daphne**It all started when we boarded the ship in Seattle, bound for Alaska...

#### New Wall Lamp

> **Daphne**Now, to the wall lamp...**Flo**So we can see pirate coins with our one good eye! How about this? YARR!

*Player chooses an option*

> **Daphne**Oh yes, that will shine an attractive light on things!**Penny**Why IS there a lamp on that wall? It’s basically lighting a SAFE.**Daphne**You know, Calvin arranged this room. He had his reasons.**Flo**He wanted to shine light on the TREASURE! Crack the safe, ye scalliwags!**Daphne**Well, that's a thought. I do wonder that’s inside.**Flo**Secret messages and pirate's booty, YAR![Daphne glides towards the safe]**Daphne**Hmm, this is a more sophisticated safe than the last one...**Flo**Give 'er the old sailor's try, Captain Daphne!**Daphne**Very well. Where’s my stethoscope?

#### Cleaning Calvin

> [Daphne stands by the heater as Penny, Flo and Blue Sweater Cat face her on the rug]**Penny**So what is this story about Calvin cleaning?**Daphne**Well, even though we were opposites, we loved doing things together...
> I appreciated his attention to every detail, and I wanted to learn.**Flo**So you were his cleaning apprentice?**Daphne**Until the day we tried to sweep the chimney together...[Daphne turns to face the heater]**Daphne**He was a thin man, as you have seen in the pictures...
> ...and one day, he lowered himself down the chimney, head-first...**Flo**Uh-oh.[Daphne turns to face them]**Daphne**...and I had to pull him out by his ankles!**Flo**Yikes! And he must have been a mess!**Daphne**He wanted to clean the chimney, but he wound up cleaning HIMSELF for hours!

#### What About Alaska?

> **Daphne**So there we were, in Ketchikan, Alaska, for the King Salmon Derby...[The trio stand by the heater]**Flo**Derby? Like, it was a fishing contest?**Daphne**Exactly! Whoever catches the biggest salmon wins!
> It was great fun! Literally hundreds of boats, and people pulling up fish...**Flo**And what did you catch that day?**Daphne**Nothing! Not a single bite!
> And the next day, we were the only ones on the water...
> ...and Calvin pulled in a King Salmon that was about 35 pounds!**Flo**Wow! That would have won the derby!**Daphne**Yes, and Calvin was so upset... he threw it back!
> Oh, but we had a good laugh about it later!**Penny**That must have been where your differences helped.**Daphne**Yes! He helped me be organized for the trip...
> ...and I helped him stay loose... and LAUGH!

#### Safe-cracking

> [Daphne stands by the safe]**Daphne**Okay, here goes... I can’t guarantee results now, ladies...**Flo**OBOY OBOY OBOY!**Penny**I think we need to give Daphne some silence, Flo.**Flo**...**Daphne**Hmm...**Flo**WELL?**Daphne**It’s an older model. The tumblers don’t work the same way.**Flo**So how do we get in?[Daphne turns to face the others]**Daphne**I’m afraid I’m out of tricks...
> So watch for anything that looks like a lock combination!

#### New Stairs

> [They stand around the stairs]**Penny**You know, we’ve been walking up and down these broken stairs...**Flo**Like walking the PLANK!**Daphne**You’re right! That should be our next change!

*Player chooses an option*

> **Flo**Yarrr! One fine piece of wood work.[They move closer to the side of the stairs]**Flo**What be this little door underneath the ship's mast, Daphne?**Penny**Flo... PLEASE give the pirate thing a break...**Daphne**Well, let’s check...[Daphne glides closer to the little door and bends down to retrieve a bottle from inside the little door]

> **Flo**Pieces of eight?**Daphne**Nope! Just a fifth.[They turn to the mini door]**Penny**Okay, while we’re in the area of the stairs...
> Let’s take care of this bookshelf, these pictures, and the doormat up top...
> ...Maties!

#### New Doormat

> [Flo stands halfway up the stairs]**Flo**Okay, new doormat at the top of the new stairs!**Daphne**Here’s the one I like![Flo turns to face the Butler Room doorway]

*Player chooses an option*

> **Flo**Nice doormat... hey, Ted is nice, and a doormat...[Flo turns to face Daphne and Penny]**Penny**I think he’s working on that, right?**Flo**According to Dave... hey, where’s Dave?[Penny and Daphne meet Flo at the bottom of the stairs]**Daphne**Doesn’t matter. No room for another person down here anyway.**Flo**But I appreciate Dave giving Ted some good advice.**Penny**On how not to be a doormat?**Flo**As near as I can figure, yes. It’s a mystery!

#### New Picture Frames

> [Penny walks halfway up the stairs and turns to face Daphne and Flo]**Daphne**I have some lovely pictures Calvin took back in England.**Penny**Let's put them here! Maybe in some new frames?

*Player chooses an option*

> **Flo**A new frame gives these pictures the respect they deserve!**Penny**Was Calvin born in England, Daphne?**Daphne**Yes, his family was in service for the aristocracy for generations.**Flo**Why did he come to America?**Daphne**Someone told him he could play English butlers in the movies...
> ...and he said, Well, I AM an English butler, so that seems simple enough!
> We were in one movie together, and he became my real-life butler!**Flo**And did you ever go back to England together, Daphne?**Daphne**Hmm, funny story there...

#### New Bookshelf

> [Daphne stands on the stairs with Penny]**Penny**That bookshelf is practically falling off the wall!**Daphne**Yes, we can do better. Like this!

*Player chooses an option*

> **Flo**A real bookshelf...with books!**Penny**Was Calvin a big reader, Daphne?**Daphne**Oh, yes, he would often read to himself... and to ME!**Flo**Aw, having someone read to you is the SWEETEST!**Daphne**I certainly thought so. I would just relax and float away with the story...**Penny**Did you have a favorite book, Daphne?**Daphne**I did! I’m just... bad with titles.**Penny**Can you tell us what it was about?**Flo**Dragons? Unicorns?
> ...PIRATES?

#### So, Where's Ted?

> [The trio stand by the bottom of the stairs]**Penny**Have you heard anything from Ted at all, Flo?**Flo**Well, I’m not sure...**Penny**You’re not sure if you’ve heard anything?**Flo**I mean, I got a few texts, but they don’t sound like him.
> Maybe he lost his phone, and some confident man is texting me?
> But that doesn’t explain the picture of him...

> **Penny**Whoa, Ted! Looking badass! And nice haircut!
> I could be wrong, Flo... but...
> He looks NOTHING like a doormat on that picture. He almost looks... sexy!**Flo**He does. Doesn't he?**Daphne**Oh, yeah. I'd hit that if I were 20 years younger.[The trio stand at the bottom of the steps]**Flo**Hey, you two. He's MY doormat!

#### Calvin's Family

> [They stand to the side of the stairs]**Daphne**We went back to England in 1959, right after shooting a movie in Monaco.
> I was fresh off a fling with Harrison, and ready for a change of pace.**Flo**Oo, tell us more about that fling!**Daphne**No, thanks! Calvin and I flew into London, and took the train to Stratford...
> I thought they might be a bit awkward, with a famous person...**Flo**They must have wanted autographs and pictures!**Daphne**The lovely part was, no, they only cared for my comfort.**Penny**Well, that’s nice.**Daphne**It was the best thing for my life. Just people treating me with kindness.**Penny**Like everyone should be treated!**Daphne**Exactly. I have always wanted to be as good as Calvin’s family.

#### Favorite Book

> [Blue Sweater Cat sits by the mini door in the side of the stairs][Daphne, Penny and Flo stand in the middle of the room]**Daphne**There’s something I haven’t told you... I have dyslexia.**Flo**So, it makes your skin itchy?**Daphne**No, it makes reading books hard work. Words are like a scrambled code.**Flo**So when Calvin read to you, it was extra nice.**Daphne**Exactly! And he would read my movie scripts to me, so I could learn my parts.**Penny**Wow, you REALLY depended on him.**Daphne**In SO many ways! But about that book... there was someone named Jim...**Penny**Was it Huckleberry Finn?**Daphne**No, I don’t think so...[Screen pans to the top of the stairs]**Penny**How about if we look at the books on the shelf, and you tell us your favorite?**Daphne**That’s a splendid idea!

#### Now I remember!

> [Penny stands at the top of the steps as Daphne and Flo stand in the doorway]**Daphne**Treasure Island! That’s it!**Flo**That’s about pirates!**Penny**That would explain why Calvin would leave pirate coins.**Daphne**And this bookmark! Here, Penny, can you read this?

> **Penny**“L22, R12, L12, R3, L20, R33”**Daphne**Why, I do believe we have a combination to the safe!

#### Open Safe

> [Flo and Blue Sweater Cat stand on the rug as Daphne cracks the safe][Penny stands by the cabinet]**Daphne**There! Cracking a safe is so much easier with the combination!**Penny**What’s inside? Looks like a note...**Flo**What does it say? What does it say??**Daphne**This is definitely Calvin’s handwriting... Penny, will you read it?**Penny**“Billy Bones is at the Benbow Inn... Rubies mark the next scroll.”**Daphne**That’s about Treasure Island! This is definitely a treasure hunt now!**Penny**And we should be on the lookout for... rubies?**Daphne**Yes! Rubies mark the next clue!**Flo**Oh, this is fun!**Daphne**It certainly is! Oh, dear, dear Calvin!
> I believe I am ready for my nightcap now...

#### Nightcap With Daphne

> [In the Trophy Room, Daphne, Penny and Flo are sat on the couches with drinks in hand]**Daphne**Cheers, my friends!**Penny**And what a day this has been!**Daphne**It has indeed! So what else would you like to know?
