• Simon Bishop : What are those cards?

  Jackie : Frank's idea. He thought I should have notes so I did this right: maintained focus, didn't get emotional, and tried not to terrify you.

  [Simon's eyes widen] 

  Jackie : See, he's right. I need the cards.

  [takes a card] 

  Jackie : [reading]  Simon, you're broke.

  [takes another card] 

  Jackie : [reading]  The medical bills are 61 thousand now. And the show didn't go well.

  [takes a third card, which reads "CONVINCE HIM TO ASK HIS PARENTS FOR HELP"] 

  Jackie : I've spoken to your parents. They didn't hang up or anything. But they said they would feel strange calling you.

  [notices Verdell on the terrace, staring into space] 

  Simon Bishop : Come here, baby. Come here, baby. Verdell? What's wrong? You miss the tough guy?

  [imitating Melvin] 

  Simon Bishop : Well, here I am, sweetheart! Happy to see me, you little piss-ant mop? How about another ride down the chute?

  [as himself]

  Jackie : Simon...

  Simon Bishop : I didn't mean that, sweetheart. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

  [to Jackie] 

  Simon Bishop : I'll be able to keep my apartment and the studio, won't I?
