## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

*The next morning...*

> **Lucy**Surely if we tell your mother what's going on, she'll tell us what she knows!**Lily**I'm just not sure she's the sort of person you expect to keep state secrets...secret!**Regina**I thought you two had turned a corner in your friendship.
> You're gonna have to trust her sometime, Lils.**Lily**I thought I might start with her taking care of my houseplants, not national security!

#### Kid Pro Quo

> **Lily**Mom! You're... up in the morning, which is weird, honestly.**Holly**New York is the City That Never Sleeps! So neither have I!**Lily**Oh geez.**Regina**We'll get started on the carousel. You, uh...talk to your mom.**Luke**One merriest merry-go-round base comin' right up!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Mom, I really need to know anything you can tell me about Dan Best.**Holly**Well, sugar, this seems like a traditional Kid Pro Quo situation.
> You tell me what you've been up to in Philly and New York. I'll you about VP Dweeb.**Lily**Fine, fine! When Whitney and Isabel get here, I'll explain everything.**Lucy**It's more official with the FBI present.**Holly**Oooh, is this entrapment?**Lily**Mom! Entrapment for what??**Holly**Nothing, I just loved Sean Connery in that movie. The beard, the toupee...mreow.

#### Wanda with the hair

> **Lily**Mom, please. Have we got a deal?**Holly**Deal. I shall regale you before my sixth cup of espresso.**Lucy**Goodness, she's gonna go off like a rocket at this rate.

> **Holly**I knew Danny Best in college when he was just a scrawny mustachioed wimp.
> He used to go on and on about his family's money, their enormous mansion...**Lucy**Mmmmhm. He comes from a long line of old mustaches.**Holly**Anyway, I ran into him again when he was Governor of Montana...
> He was cheating on his wife with my girlfriend, Wanda, remember her, Lily, with the hair?

> **Lily**Yeesh. Poor Wanda.**Holly**Well, I knew her and I knew his wife, and I knew he had the funds to spare...**Lily**MOM! You blackmailed the Vice President of the United States!?**Holly**Well, I had to feed you! Like! Multiple times a day.
> He gave me a corny knockoff Chanel hat...
> ...he said belonged to Jackie O. Yeah, right!
> And top security clearance at all national tourist destinations! Huge at Mount Rushmore.**Lily**Omigosh, Mom! Do you still have that hat??**Lucy**I NEED to see this hat. Let me explain...

#### Chorus Line

> **Luke**Man, I am so glad I am not over there.**Regina**Holly has that face on like she's enjoying whatever story it is...**Luke**So you know it's gross, yep.
> I, too, am just happy to get these carousel seats worth sitting on again!

*Player selects an option*

> **Whitney**Ahhh New York City! My home away from home!**Isabel**You like it here?? That is...unexpected.**Whitney**I LOVE it here. Nobody looks you in the eye or wants to carry on a conversation, ever.
> I was here last year for Comicon. It was life-changing. Hey guys! Lily is getting the skinny on Vice President Mustache.**Regina**Babe, someday we'll have to do a real New York City vacation, the two of us.**Whitney**Yes! I want to be chased by rats down Broadway while a hobo chorus sings showtunes!**Regina**I was thinking, like, the Statue of Liberty, but we'll talk about it.

#### Make her swear

> **Lily**Whew! Hi guys! You will not believe any of this.
> My mom knew VP Dan back in the day and Wanda with the hair was there and his mansion...**Whitney**Wait, what?**Isabel**Who with the what now?**Regina**Luke and I are gonna go get up on the roof. Y'all do your special agent thing.**Lily**I want to help! I'm too in my head about all of this. It's too much.**Lily**Whit, Isabel, go talk my mom and Lucy. They'll explain.
> Make her swear an FBI oath or something to keep it all confidential though.**Isabel**That's not...how the FBI oath... works...**Lily**Fake it if you have to!
> Okay, let's go fix the roof. I need to focus on something else.

*Player selects an option*

#### Entrapment

> **Lily**Ugh, I'm too overwhelmed. Everything feels fuzzy.**Luke**Let's reno the ticket stand. Maybe that'll take your mind off stuff?**Lily**Worth a shot!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**That's a little better, actually!**Regina**It all makes so much sense, Lils. At the White House, all the alarms!**Lily**And Mom just walking through with no problem!**Regina**You know, with your mom's crazy security clearance...
> She must still be able to get in touch with VP Dan. Right?**Lily**Hmmm, that makes sense, yeah.**Regina**So maybe that's how we lure him out and catch hi red-handed. What's that called?**Holly**Entrapment! Great movie!

#### Dippy Dan

> **Regina**Okay, I'll put up the lights, you go entrap your mom.**Lily**I think she'd only fall for that if it was Sean Connery. But I'll talk to her.**Regina**Even better.**Luke**I'm with you, Lils. I do GREAT Sean Connery.

*Player selects an option*

> **Luke**I am a Shcottshman!**Lily**Maybe hold the Connery impression.**Holly**...and that's when I said to Dippy Dan, as we called him, if you're gonna throw up...
> ...Stop doing keg stands and get down off the antler trophy!**Whitney**The Vice President is objectively a horrible person.**Lucy**Why would you pee in the Reflecting Pool??**Lily**Mom I need your help!
> Do you think you could call Dan Best for us?
> We need to prove he's behind all these historical thefts!**Holly**For you, Lily-nilly? I think I can make that happen.

#### A bass clarinet

> **Lily**Okay, Mom, just act normal.**Whitney**Is that the best advice?**Lily**Good point.
> Okay, Mom, just act...like yourself!**Holly**Don't worry, honey. I can play this man like a bass clarinet.
> Low, in both hands, and one note at a time.**Lily**Stop, geez, just make the call please![Holly dials the number.]**Holly**Danny! It's Holly. You'll never believe what I've come across.
> No, not your heart briefs, I'm keeping those forever.
> Washington's original cherry tree seeds. That's right! Preserved.
> Don't worry about where I got them. You want 'em? Meet me in Washington Square Park.
> Yep. New York City. Tomorrow. Ciao, Dippy!
> Now that's entrapment, sugar. And I didn't even have to cartwheel through lasers!**Whitney**Which is unfair, frankly.

#### Fan the underarms

> **Lily**Okay, it's happening. Now I'm sweating profusely.
> I'm going to work on that flowerbed to calm down!**Luke**We'll help you, babe. Deep breaths! Fan the underarms!**Lily**My mom is just so chaotic! So many things could go wrong!**Luke**She really wants to do this for you, though, Lils.
> And she's, like, done a lot of personal growth lately!**Regina**She also apparently has been blackmailing the Vice President of the United States.
> For like...a while.**Regina**Actually, I don't think there's anyone I'd trust more for this.**Lily**That makes a strange kind of sense but I'm still very sweaty.

#### Okay, bloomer

> **Lily**I hear another flowerbed calling our names.
> It's saying, "Lily! Regina! What about me? Don't I deserve some flowers?"

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**And we say, "Why yes, Ms. Flowerbed! Of course you can have some flowers."**Regina**That's me. Keep telling Ms. Flowerbed she looks nice.
> Gramps, what's up? Please don't tell me you're in New York.**Philip Jones**Huh? Why would I be there? You're talking crazy, kiddo.**Regina**It's just that you... ugh... nevermind. What's up?**Philip Jones**Holly asked me to find something in her house, but now I can't get through to her.**Regina**Did she ask you to look for an old pink hat?**Philip Jones**Bingo! And I found it. It's very cute.**Regina**Awesome. Can you send me some pictures of it?**Philip Jones**Sure! Should I be wearing it? It's not really my style...

#### Roundtable Chat

> **Holly**Team Holly! I've got news. Let's reconvene.**Lily**One second, mom.
> I want to set up some tables before our roundtable discussion.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Okay! What do you got for us, mom?**Holly**I set up a meeting with Danny! Aren't I the best?**Regina**Sure. Except when you bully my grandpa into running errands for you...**Holly**Oh come on! We wanted to know about the hat as soon as possible, right?
> Besides, I think he has a little crush on me. Heh heh heh...**Regina**Well, he sent me the photos. I'll forward 'em over to our investigation team now.**Lucy**Thanks Regina! IF it's a genuine Jackie O, we'll know.**Whitney**Wow! Philip looks really cute in this hat.
> Pink really is his color.

#### New York Insider

> **Lily**What a coinkydink! Us decorators got decoratin' to do...

*Player selects an option*

> **Whitney**Woah! Do my eyes deceive me? Judy, is that you?**Judy**Whitney! Good to see you.
> Dogs, say hello to Whitney...**Ruff**Bork!**Whitney**Gals, this is Judy. She runs Galloway Theater downtown...**Judy**What are you doing back in New York? Comic Con again?**Whitney**I wish. I'm here on business. You haven't seen anything weird lately, have you?**Judy**It's New York. Pretty much everything is weird.
> But now that you mention it, I had a weird run-in with some inspectors yesterday...
> They were supposed to check pipes, but they only cared about our rare Galloway relics.**Whitney**Tell me, Judy...was it a tall woman with a short man?**Judy**Woah... how did you know that?

#### Silver Screen

> **Judy**So you're working on the park as cover for your investigation? Smart.**Whitney**Totally! But don't tell anyone. This is mega super classified information.**Judy**My lips are sealed. Though... my dogs might blab.**Ruff**Bork!**Judy**While you're fixing up the place, you should set up a new screen for movies.
> Bryant Park used to have great screenings, but somebody broke the old set-up.**Whitney**Can't we have anything nice?!**Judy**I've gotta get doing, but let me know if you end up setting up a new screen.
> I've got some old movies at the theater that would work perfect here.**Whitney**Guys! We need to set up a screen here so we can show movies in the park.**Regina**That's a great idea! But shouldn't we be more worried about your investigation?**Whitney**Work hard, play hard, Regina. It's the FBI motto. Or at least it should be...**Holly**Sounds like a great idea! I'll be back here drinking Manhattans.

*Player selects an option*

#### Debriefing

> **Regina**Whitney's got that cute "I'm thinking too hard" face going on.
> I don't wanna break her focus. We can add some trees, but let's do it quietly.

*Player selects an option*

> **Isabel**Okay, team. Let's debrief. Whatta we got?**Lucy**So Dan's family has definitely been stealing artifacts since Colonial Times.**Whitney**What if there's a huge house in Montana filled with artifacts? Guarded by laser bison?!**Isabel**Focus, Whitney.**Whitney**Right. On my side, we have multiple sighting of weird thieving duo.
> But who are they? Family of Dan's? Random goons? Laser bison?
> Ugh! We need more time to finish our investigation.
> But the higher-ups are expecting a report from us soon. We're just shadowing, remember?**Isabel**And can we actually present this? Even knowing what we know, this whole thing sounds absurd.**Whitney**What's so absurd about the Vice President stealing and replacing national artifacts?**Isabel**Oh man... we're totally doomed.

#### Movies with merlot

> **Lily**I love watching movies in the park.
> You can drink wine, lounge on a big blanket, drink more wine...**Regina**Then for the sake of cinema, we better make these seats as wine-friendly as possible.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Just like any great grape, this looks di-vine.**Regina**Heh! Okay, I'll give it to you. That was pretty good.**Lily**You liked one of my puns?! Is everything okay, Regina?**Regina**Yeah, that was weird. I guess I'm worried about Whitney's investigation presentation...
> What if this whole VP ordeal makes her looks bad? What if she fails?**Lily**I wouldn't worry about, Whitney. She knows what she's doing.
> Most of the time, at least...

#### Box office hit

> **Luke**Renowned Liberty Bell forger Luke Lorenzo reduced to building a simple ticket stand?
> Fortunately, a great artist can transform even a urinal into high art!

*Player selects an option*

> **Luke**That's the ticket... the ticket stand! ha! Haha... ha... ha... ha... \*sigh\*...
> Still, it's a pretty cool setup. Maybe they'll show "On Wild Waters" here someday.
> I should call up Kath and ask her if there's a release date yet.
> Maybe Santi and Alma can fly out and we can watch it together!
> Though they are expecting a baby. Maybe it'd be easier if we flew to them?
> Ugh.
> That's the problem with going on wild adventures across America...
> How do you keep up with friends when you're busy trying to take down the Vice President?

#### Talkie by torchlight

> **Regina**Obviously, you can only show a movie in the park after it gets dark...
> But we'll still need some type of light to make sure people don't trip over each other.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Torches! Great thinking, Regina. Pretty and practical.**Holly**Looking good out here, gang. Glad I could help.**Regina**You didn't...**Holly**We doing a screening tonight? We have to christen the new screen, right?**Lily**That'd be amazing...but unfortunately I think we'd need a permit.**Holly**I'll make some calls. The mayor owes me a couple favors.**Lily**Don't tell me... you and the mayor had a fling in the 90's?**Holly**Of course not. What type of harlot do you think I am?
> His wife though...that's another story. Anyways, we'll get a permit. Trust me.

#### Park Premiere

*A few phone calls later...*

> **Holly**Okay! We are good to go for a film screening.
> But let's make it something short. I've got a date with the mayor's wife tonight.**Lily**Judy brought some movies from the theater.
> Which one should we watch?

*Player selects an option*

> **Holly**This one's a classic. Raunchy but in a dignified old-timey way.**Lily**Then what are we waiting for? Let the film watching commence.**Judy**I think the nanny is the killer.**Whitney**Spoiler alert.**Lucy**We shoulda brought popcorn.**Luke**A movie with my sweetie. Who could ask for anything more?**Lily**It's been a long road. But I have a feeling we're closing in on the end of this adventure.**Luke**Let's enjoy every minute of it. Who knows when we'll get to dethrone a criminal VP again?**Lily**Hopefully never! Now snuggle up close, loverboy...
> I wanna get all raunchy and dignified
