Page 58 of His Leading Man

SCOTT

Right.

Morgan gives him an incredulous look. All that running, and she could have found them at any time.

LILA

(kneeling to pet Roxy, becoming agitated)

I don’t understand. I’ve been trying to get in touch with you for days, but you haven’t returned any of my calls. And now you show up and steal Roxy?

MORGAN

(to Scott, mouthing)

What?

SCOTT

(defensively)

I’m not stealing her! I’m taking her back to her rightful owner!

LILA

You mean Tony?

SCOTT

Breaking up with him to move to Vegas with your new man-skank is one thing, but taking his dog while he’s out of the country?

LILA

My new skank? Tony cheated on me!

SCOTT

What?

MORGAN

(to himself)

Well, that explains a lot.

LILA

With his secretary! God, he’s such a cliché. He broke up with me. And that man-skank is my cousin. He’s letting me stay with him until I find a place out here.

A pause ensues.

SCOTT

Oh.

LILA

Yeah, oh.
