FRANK

: Got a good price.

EMMA

: What’re you doing in that ridiculous suit?

FRANK

: Mr. Welch gave it to me.

EMMA

: Mr. Welch?

FRANK

: Yes.

EMMA

: That stranger? The one who barged in here asking about the house? Stringing up flags on my cupboards?

FRANK

: That’s the one. He bought my heifers too.

EMMA

: No! Frank, you take that money back! You take it back right now. That’s nuts—

FRANK

: He’s gone.

EMMA

: Well, you go find him and give that money back! You’ve got no business—

FRANK

: He won’t be back here until Tuesday. There’s going to be a meeting.

EMMA

: A meeting? Where? Here? Not here there isn’t.

FRANK

: That’s what he said.

EMMA

: This has gone far enough! I’m getting the sheriff out here.

FRANK

: We don’t need the sheriff. There’s no crime. What’s the crime?

EMMA

: This guy is taking over our house! He’s taking over our whole life! Stringing up flags! Forcing cookies on me! Who is this guy? We don’t know him from Adam!

FRANK

: He’s from the government, Emma.

EMMA

: Oh, you talked to him? You’re big buddies now?

FRANK

: He’s from the government!

EMMA

: What government?

FRANK

: Our government.

EMMA

: I don’t know what our government is anymore. Do you? What does that mean, “our government”?

FRANK

: That means he knows more than us. He’s smarter than us. He knows the big picture, Emma. He’s got a plan.

EMMA

: What big picture is that?

FRANK

: The Enemy. He knows who the Enemy is.
