                              LAURA
                    Keep up with me now. I don't know, but
                  it sounded like you did, and a body's
                  got a right to be curious. Now I'm not
                  so sure.
        
                              BRENDAN
                    Well I'll put that body to bed. I don't
                  know a damn thing about whatever
                  troubles, and that works for me. I just
                  want to find her.
        
          A long beat. Laura studies Brendan's face,
          then seems to come to a decision.
        
                              LAURA
                    Coffee and pie.
        
          The words hang in the air a moment. A look of
        recognition from Brendan.
        
                              BRENDAN
                    Coffee and pie oh my?
        
                              LAURA
                    And you didn't hear it from me.
