[Knock on door]

Audrey: Excuse me.

Henry: You can't keep the robe, mother. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Don't drink that! Don't drink that!

 

Audrey: Henry, what is wrong with you?

Henry: Don't get any on your hands. You have no idea what's in it.

Jay: I'm fine. I fixed it myself.

Henry: Were you here when the pot was brought in?

Jay: No.

Henry: Have you ever tasted antifreeze before?

Jay: Audrey, what's going on here? Your son, does he have some issues, or what?

Henry: No, no. I am fine. My mother is the sociopath of the family.

Audrey: My son thinks that I am a serial killer and you -- you are my next victim.

 

Henry: You wouldn't be laughing if you were turning blue and convulsing on the floor!

Jay: Just be careful. I might laugh myself into unconsciousness here.

Audrey: No worries there. We do have a defibrillator in the lobby.

Henry: I am trying to save your life here.

Jay: Gee, thanks.

Henry: You've got to understand. My mother is like a black widow, okay, and she lures her suitors into her web, and then she snuffs them out and sashays off to find new prey.

Audrey: You sound positively diabolical.

Henry: I have proof. I have proof.

Jay: Really?

Henry: Yes, I do.

Audrey: This is ridiculous! This is ridiculous!

Henry: I come from a long line of psychos, and my mother makes two. My little sister is in jail for murder, and you know what? I don't know why I don't just call the police and turn you in.

Audrey: Why don't you do that?

Henry: Because you're my mom, and because I don't know the other guys that you iced.

Audrey: That is so very sweet. You really do love me, don't you? You do.

Henry: Not enough to let you keep killing people under my nose, okay? No. It's over, mom. You got to find another hobby.

Jay: Hey, you said you had proof.

Henry: Yes, yes. I do. I have newspaper clippings cross-referenced with her diary entries. If you'd like to see them, I will show you.

Audrey: Good. That's a great idea. Why don't you take him and work with him? You know, work with him here. Prove that I'm a serial killer. I'll just wait right here.

Henry: Please. Don't run away!

Audrey: Don't worry. I never go on the lamb until after noon.

Henry: Thank you.

 

Henry: Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. What do all these men have in common? Audrey Coleman. She keeps these obituaries in her luggage. She is a serial killer, okay? These are souvenirs. It's a classic case. You don't want to join this club.

Jay: Maybe she's attracted to guys with heart conditions.

Henry: How's your ticker?

Jay: Fine, thanks.

Henry: For how long?

Jay: Okay, this is ridiculous.

Henry: Listen. Please listen. Murder runs in my family. We're downright homicidal. Now, why would I make up something like that?

Jay: Henry, you need to drink more. It'll be good for you. Bartender.

 

Bartender: Another round?

Henry: No. I'll just take the check.

Bartender: You're set. Mr. Zuma already took care of it.

Henry: Who?

Bartender: The guy you just had a drink with.

Henry: That was Jay Stanhope.

Bartender: Not according to his credit-card receipt.

Henry: "Raymond Zuma." What the hell's going on here?

 

[Doorbell rings]

Katie: It's open.

Henry: Bubbles, thank god you're still home!

Katie: I'm always home. What's going on?

Henry: It's utter mayhem! It's worse than I originally thought.

Katie: What is?

Henry: My mother, the psychotic killer. I think she's struck again.

Katie: Oh, stop it, Henry. This is nuts!

Henry: I know, I know! It's totally nuts!

Katie: No. You're nuts. I just saw your mother a little while ago. She is not a killer. She's very sweet.

Henry: Do not -- do not let her fool you, okay? I just had a drink with her latest beau.

Katie: That's nice.

Henry: No, it's not. Audrey introduced him as Jay Stanhope. Only problem is that's not really his name. Underneath Mr. Stanhope lurks Raymond Zuma.

Katie: So?

Henry: So, obviously, if Raymond is going around masquerading as Jay, then the real Jay is either missing or dead.

Katie: Do you have proof of that?

Henry: No, not yet. But you're gonna help me get some.
