Arresting Officer

That is your receipt for your husband. Thank you. And this is my receipt for your receipt.

Clip 2

Just to set the record straight, triplets are three children born of the same pregnancy. A fact that Sam Lowry might have done well to remember before making this statement.

See you, Jack. Give my regards to Alison and the twins.

Jack

Triplets.

Sam

Triplets? God... how time flies!

Clip 3

The local children are playing a futuristic version of Cops & Robbers. But in the future, the game is a little more precise.

Children

Under section 572 stroke 552, have you got any sweets?

Sam

Hello. I wonder if you could tell me where...

Child

P*SS OFF!

Clip 4

Jack is introducing his wife, Alison, to Jack. They've met before but not for some time. And something about her has changed...

Jack

Alison... Sam Lowry, old friend.

Sam

Alison. Yes, of course.

[He kisses her cheek]

Well, you look different.

Alison

Well, I'm two years older.

Jack

And she's been to Doctor Jaffe.

Sam

Ahhh.

Jack

She doesn't like me telling people but in fact she's really pleased.

Sam

I knew there was something different.

Jack

Remember how they used to stick out?

Sam

What? Oh, yes. Um, well, rather! I always used to wonder if they were real.

Alison

What, my ears?

Clip 5

Sam is visiting Jack in his office, hoping to get some information on the woman of his dreams. Jack is babysitting one of the triplets, Holly.

Sam

I need some information.

Jack

Oh, Sam... this is information retrieval, not information dispersal.

[A ball bounces off the wall and into the sink]

Hey, Amy... don't throw the ball around in here.

Holly

I'm not Amy. I'm Holly.

Jack

Did I call you Amy, darling? I'm sorry.

Sam

A triplet?

Jack

One of them, I think. Barbara's taken the other two Christmas shopping.

Sam

You're not going to keep calling her Barbara, are you?

Jack

Why ever not? Barbara's a perfectly good name, isn't it? Don't, don't you like it?

Clip 6

The conversation between Sam and Jack in the latter's office continues.

Jack

Sam...

Sam

Don't worry. I'll get to her.

Jack

You'll never get anywhere in a suit like that. Here.

[He hands Sam a suit]

Try this. Bye-bye.

[Jack leaves his office]

Holly

Bye.

Sam

No.... but... Jack... I...

[It's too late. Jack has gone]

Holly

Put it on big boy, I won't look at your willy.

You don't exist anymore. I've killed you. Jill Layton is dead.

Care for a little necrophilia?
