Michael Nelson:
You know, Rita never had air conditioning. It got so hot in there, especially in the daytime. [the apartment changes] Oh and the lovely view, no, she had a six floor view of the back of a sewage plant. [pulls down the curtains] All day all night, such ugly street business. [Jeanette hears traffic roaring by] Oh no, no nice furniture. [furniture disappears] No, nothing at all. But she did have that [a table, chair and phone] , and she had that new washer/dryer. Took in neighbors' laundry for a living. You're behind on your payments, and you said you could catch up.

Jeanette Simpson:
This is a trick, some kind of hallucination. You've hypnotized me, haven't you?

Michael Nelson:
No wait, I remember her hair, it wasn't like that. And that nice robe, no, it was more like that. [Jeanette transforms into a simple house dress with her hair tied back]

Jeanette Simpson:
No, it's impossible, you've drugged me. You've made me see things that aren't there, stop that.

Michael Nelson:
Oh, no, Rita couldn't speak like that, here, let me show you. [puts his hands on her throat]

Jeanette Simpson:
Wha' happen? I no under-tand. I, I Jeanette, I no talk like this, I not a Spanish. Umbody 'elp!

Michael Nelson:
Of course, I'll help you. I've been assigned to your case after all.

Jeanette Simpson:
You tricked me. I no can be like this. This a trick, ju tricked me.

Michael Nelson:
And this. [kisses Jeanette on the head and gives her a tumor]

Jeanette Simpson:
Ahh! Ah! Hurt! Oh it beating inside.

Michael Nelson:
I know, I'm so sorry. [phone rings] Go ahead, answer it, I'm right here.

Jeanette Simpson:
Hello?

Jeanette Simpson:
Miss Valdez, this is Jeanette and Sentinel Collection. Your payments on that washer and dryer are way overdue and I need to know just what you intend to do about that. Miss Valdez? Answer me. Answer me right now or I'll have to take drastic measures. I'll have to get the courts involved. Answer me. Answer me.
