| Ian and Barbara are in his car, driving
down the night road. |

| BARBARA: Over there! Where the
policeman is. |
| . |
| The car comes to a stop before that old
wooden gate. |
| . |
| IAN: The fog's cleared. We're
lucky. |
| . |
| BARBARA: She can't have got here
yet. (nervous pause) Oh, I suppose we are doing the right thing?

| IAN: You can't justify
curiousity. |

| BARBARA: But her homework

| IAN: Oh, it's just an excuse,
really. I've seen far worse. The truth is, we're both curious about
Susan, and we won't be happy until we know some of the
answers. |

| BARBARA: You can't just pass it
off like that! If I thought I was just being a busybody, I'd go
straight home! I thought you agreed she was a bit of a
mystery! |
| . |
| IAN: Yes. Well, I expect there's
a very simple explanation to all this. ...... . . |

| BARBARA: Well, I don't know how
you explain the fact that a fif -- that a fifteen year old girl does
not know how many shillings there are in a pound. |

| IAN: (blinks)
Really? |
| . |
| BARBARA: Really! She said she
thought we were on the decimal system. |
| . |
| IAN: Decimal
system?!? |

there! |

| IAN: Lucky there was no fog. I'd
never have found this. |

| BARBARA: (throwing on her scarf)
Well, she doesn't seem to have arrived yet. (nervous pause) I
suppose we are doing the right thing, aren't we? |

| IAN: Only justified
curiousity. |
