(Back at Brian's apartment with Brian walking to the refrigerator taking out a coke and a sandwich walking to the computer and turning the tv on via remote control)
Brian (man): (looks around) David, have you seen Thomas or Mike?
David (hamster): I overheard something about an escape and a plan. I don't know if the plan and the escape had anything to do with each other. I didn't pay attention.
Brian: (sarcastically) Thanks a lot David.
David: (indignantly) Hey I was busy running around that stupid wheel you got in here for me. It's the only thing I can look forward to, not that it's a bleeding amusement park or something.
Brian: (worried) Why would they run away? Why would they...
David: (interrupting remembering something) Oh yeah it had something to do with Elizabeth.
Brian: What of any concern is Elizabeth to Mike or Thomas?
David: Mike is trying to get her attention and when she recognizes Mike your dog she'll return him to you.
Brian: (frustrated) This is why I don't let him watch Lassie. (Doorbell rings) Who would be coming over here at...(turns to look at the oven) nine o clock on a (looks at calendar) Saturday morning?
David: Jehovah's Witnesses?
Brian: I'm surprised they even come at all. All I can do is take the magazines and abruptly leave. I'm no good at talking with strangers. (Looks out the door hole). Looks like Elizabeth is at the door, maybe I'll convert. (opens door)
Elizabeth: (holding a leash to Mike) Hi Brian your dog somehow run over to my house I just thought I should return him.
Brian: (disappointed) Oh you got him on a leash
Elizabeth: (concerned) Ah yeah why?
Brian: (shyly) Well I just know he doesn't happen to like leashes.
Elizabeth: (comfortably) Well he didn't seem to mind with me. (Thomas jumped over to Elizabeth and walks a figure eight around her legs) Wow your pets sure do love me.
Brian: Well I'll take them off your hands.
Elizabeth: I don't mind they are a lot friendlier than my cat.
Brian: Your black cat named Bettie.
Elizabeth: Wow you have a good memory.
Brian: Well you're welcome to come over and play with my pets anytime you want.
Elizabeth: I prefer meeting each other in the park.
Brian: Okay, so how are enjoying Cyrano De Bergerac?
Elizabeth: I have a problem with the main character.
Brian: (anxious) You do? What? What's the problem?
Elizabeth: He was brave in every way except the one way that mattered most.
Brian: What was that?
Elizabeth: He did everything out of love for Roxanne but wasn't brave enough to assume his love for her was nothing for her to be ashamed of.
Brian: Yeah I hate people like that.
Elizabeth: I bet you do. Well see you later. (walking away)
Brian: How about tomorrow at six o clock at the park?
Elizabeth: (looking back grinning) I'll bring Bettie if you bring Mike and Thomas.
Brian: You got a deal (shuts door)
David: I can tell she doesn't like me. She didn't even invite me.
Brian: How could she? She doesn't know about you.
David: (indignantly) You didn't tell her about me?
Brian: Oh yeah. Well I told her about Thomas when I found out she was a cat person and she met Mike when I walked him a few months ago.
David: Yeah right you just don't want to admit you have a hamster.
Brian: I'm very proud to have a hamster. Many great people own hamsters like "Weird Al" Yankovic.
David: That's not my point. You're embarrassed by what a dorky childish pet you have.
Brian: Hamsters just don't pop up in conversations that often.
David: (mockingly) Yeah I wonder why.
Brian: I'm going to bed. (walks away)
Thomas: But it's nine o clock in the morning?
Brian: Good night (slams bedroom door)
