Penelope Page #3

Got ya!

No?

Penelope?

Penelope?

Will you be back tomorrow?

I knew it.

I knew you were there.

Yeah.

- He'll be back.

- He will.

- So?

- I didn't get it.

How could you not get it,

half the men in this city...

Relax.

I'm coming back tomorrow.

Ow! Door.

You better.

See you tomorrow.

Better.

Sweetheart? What's wrong?

I thought he just knew,

but it says it right here.

Still he chose it.

Of the 2,000 that aren't

your favourite,

he chose the one that is.

Alright. Alright.

Do you play?

I wish you'd stop

doing that.

- Do you play?

- The frog?

No, no although I always meant

to pick it up.

But you do play something.

- What makes you say that?

- What do you play?

Guess.

Is this really necessary?

She's finding

his instrument.

Isn't that something a man

should do for himself?

And a one, and a two, and a one.

You are my sunshine,

my only sunshine

You make me happy

when skies are grey.

You'll never know, dear

dear how much I love you.

Are you even playing that?

So please don't take

my sunshine away.

- Okay, it's not the bass.

- No? No?

- Try the drums.

- Alright.

The drums, you play drums.

Okay.

So please don't take...

my sunshine away.

Okay, okay, no, no, no.

No more drums.

No?

Not the drums, it's not the drums...

Alright!

Saxophone, saxophone!

You want sax?

One... two... one, two.

Enough, stop. Stop, stop!

- Enough.

- No? No, alright.

Play the guitar.

The guitar.

Guitar.

It's got to be the guitar.

I don't think that's how

you play the guitar.

Okay, stop, stop. stop!

Please stop, stop.

Oh, my.

That was, that was terrible.

Hey everybody, everybody wave.

Everybody wave to Penelope

and take a bow, alright? And bow.

I know, I know you guys

you were fantastic

though come here.

Thank you so much for everything.

Wait, wait

I'm not done guessing.

Come on, enough about me.

What do you play?

You want to be a hortomacultural what?

A horticulturalist.

You know? Someone who works with plants.

Right.

Why is that funny?

No plants are great. I just thought

of you as like... like a cop.

You know seeing as you've got

the whole interrogation thing down.

Shut up, it's your move.

Alright.

- Oh, you really don't want to do that.

- Why not?

- Because I'll kill her.

- What if I asked you not to?

I'd still kill her.

You'd sort of be begging me to.

So, beer.

You've never had a beer?

I've had a beer.

- On tap?

- No, not on tap.

Well, then you've never had a beer.

- Your knight can't do that.

- My knight?

- The horse.

- Alright.

Hey, how about you and me heading down

to the Cloverdilly pub right now?

Pub Cloverdilly?

Best beer, best blues, some

of the best beer bums in town.

Thanks, maybe later.

Penelope, come on.

Come on, you've got to

get out of there sometime.

Right?

What are you waiting for?

You know, truth is, you're...

you're not missing much.

Really?

The Cloverdilly pub sounds fun.

Yeah, but... aside from that.

And the street fairs? I hear they sell

really cool stuff right on the street.

You know, the vendors themselves

are pretty cool too.

- Oh, and the park?

- The park is great.

I used to spend

every weekend there

just hanging on a bench

writing stupid love songs...

- People watching.

- Used to? You don't do that anymore?

What are you doing instead?

- Well, beating you at chess.

- I warned you I'd kill her.

That's great because as soon as my guys

here have seen what you've done...

The game will be over,

your queen will be dead.

My king's still pretty active, you know?

Once the queers dead

the kings useless.

- What's that about?

- I don't know?

Maybe he's too depressed to fight.

He really loved her you know?

Yeah, I can see that.

My queen to yours,

checkmate.

You got me.

Man,

what is this guy doing?

Wasting all my film.

He's doing it on purpose.

He's going for the dowry.

I wish I could find a girl

with a dowry.

Give me a break.

Why else would it be taking you so long?

She revealed herself to me straight away.

You know what?

I guess she liked you more.

Why settle for five thousand when

you could get ten times that, right?

Well, maybe you're forgetting -

I've seen her. She is grotesque.

Shut him up.

I'm talking un-kissable

ugly. Nightmare ugly.

Listen you little worm. I know your

kind spoiled rotten mama's boy...

God! He licked me.

- Edward.

- What?

Don't lick Max.

Sorry.

Listen you can't blame us

for being a little suspicious.

- Fine, find someone else.

- Fine, give us back the money.

It's starting. It's starting!

Would you come on!

Okay, I've got it. Piano.

You play the piano.

I bet my life on it.

Alright, keep in mind;

'never bet a better'.

Does he have another jacket?

And a one, and a two and a one...

You are my sunshine...

My only sunshine...

You make me happy

No, it's B flat.

B flat on the right hand.

No, right hand!

You see, the left hand stays, and

the right hand plays the chord.

- You see?

- Yeah, yeah. It's better.

- Sh*t!

- I'm a monster.

No, no your not,

Penelope!

Stay with Max.

Darling, do not...

Please, do not...

I told you! I told you!

No, you ran.

It was you this time.

- He said 'sh*t'

- Big sh*t.

He said 'sh*t'

to me twice.

And then he just stood there

staring at me.

No one's ever just stood

there before.

If you give the poor boy a chance to

adjust. I mean, put yourself in...

What are you doing?

I told you to stay with him.

You did?

I didn't hear you.

When you said,

'stay with Max'...

I meant

stay with Max.

You never said,

'Wanda, stay with him'.

- I told you!

- I'm sorry I didn't hear you.

Mom?

Don't worry, dear.

He couldn't have gone far

- Did you get it?

- Yeah. Yeah, I got it.

Hey, I needed that photo.

She's not what Edward said she was.

You just leave her alone.

Lemon?

- Who is that?

- Lock the gate!

No, don't, don't shut the gate!

I got him, I got him.

Penelope, there's something

I have to tell you.

- No, he's a spy.

- No... yes.

Yes, he's a spy.

He's working for Lemon,

The reporter who forced me

to bury you.

- You said I was cremated.

- That too.

I hope you were well paid, because

you just said goodbye to a fortune.

Wait!

He's still one of your own kind.

He could still break the curse.

Max. I know this face

repulses you...

And I... and I wouldn't dream of

asking you to accept it.

But this isn't me.

The real me is inside here

somewhere just waiting to get out.

And you can

make that happen.

Once the curse is broken

I'll be just like anybody else.

What if you're not?

What if the curse isn't broken.

What if... what if the curse can

never be broken?

Then I'll kill myself. I promise.

I promise I will.

Marry me, Max.

Marry me.

I can't.

Get out!

- I'm...

- Get out!

- Get out!

- Out!

Right out!

Okay,

this is what we're going to do...

I felt the rush

of a thousand heart breaks.

This is nothing we haven't been

through before.

Penelope,

we can do it again.

I will never give up, sweetheart.
