Paula Peril:
[struggling as she watches the time-bomb tick down to zero]
MMPH! Mmph, mmph... MMMPH! Mmph, MMMPPPHH! MMPPH! Mmph - snort! Mmph, mmph...
Informant:
[disabling time-bomb with two seconds to go]
I wonder what they'll say about this?
[walking towards Paula]
Informant:
Sorry about earlier - I had to get them out of the building
[ungags Paula, then stoops down to begin cutting her bonds]
Paula Peril:
[slowly working her cramped jaw after being ungagged]
Thanks... who ARE you?
Informant:
[stands]
I'm the one who called you.
[continues untying Paula]
Paula Peril:
[puzzled, trying to understand]
WHY are you helping me?
Informant:
Listen, I'll explain it another time, but for now, just listen: it's the Finance Director - she's the one you need to talk to.
[continuing to cut Paula's bonds]
Informant:
She has all the records - enough evidence to put Vincelli away FOR GOOD
Paula Peril:
[stumbles & gasps as she is suddenly released from her pole-tie; is caught by the informant]
I didn't think I'd get out of THAT one.
Informant:
I think you're going to be around for awhile. Try to stay out of trouble... This little meeting of ours? - NEVER. HAPPENED.
[places his hand on Paula's shoulder - they stare meaningfully at each other]
Informant:
Take care, Paula PERiL.
[he turns and walks off, then turns around & tips his hat]
Informant:
I enjoy watching you work
[He turns again & leaves. Paula gazes wistfully after him as he goes. She starts to speak, but doesn't]
