[ a woman sits at a bar, as a man wearing an eye patch steps towards her ]
Dr. Richard Laverne: Excuse me. Is this seat taken?
Katherine Jaqueneau: No.
Dr. Richard Laverne: Do you mind If I join you?
Katherine Jaqueneau: No. Not at all.
Dr. Richard Laverne: [ sits ] Dr. Richard Laverne.
Katherine Jaqueneau: Katherine Jaqueneau. [ they shake hands ]
Dr. Richard Laverne: Do you mind If I ask you a question?
Katherine Jaqueneau: Go right ahead.
Dr. Richard Laverne: Do you like luxury?
Katherine Jaqueneau: I’m sorry?
Dr. Richard Laverne: Do you like luxury? Do you enjoy fine things? Silks? Furs? Fine exotic woods?
Katherine Jaqueneau: I’m not sure I follow.
Dr. Richard Laverne: Let me rephrase the question: Do you like luxury?
Katherine Jaqueneau: Yes, I do.
Dr. Richard Laverne: I thought so. I, myself, enjoy luxury. That’s why I drive the finest motorcar in the world. “Jag-u-ar.”
Katherine Jaqueneau: I see.
Dr. Richard Laverne: I ‘m also the spokesperson for Jag-u-ar. The finest motorcar in the world. Jag-u-ar.
Katherine Jaqueneau: I like how you say that.
Dr. Richard Laverne: “Jag-U-ar.” Can I also tell you something else?
Katherine Jaqueneau: Certainly.
Dr. Richard Laverne: I’m also a spy for the Swiss government. Would you like to guess my codename?
Katherine Jaqueneau: Jaguar?
Dr. Richard Laverne: No. Luxury.
Katherine Jaqueneau: Luxury?
Dr. Richard Laverne: Shh. Not so loud. We’re not safe here. So, do you like luxury?
Katherine Jaqueneau: You already asked me that.
Dr. Richard Laverne: I’m sorry. I’m tired. I did 900 voiceovers today for Jag-u-ar. I also killed a man in an elevator.
Katherine Jaqueneau: Do you mind If I ask you a question?
Dr. Richard Laverne: I think it would only be fair.
Katherine Jaqueneau: Are you blind in one eye?
Dr. Richard Laverne: How did you know?
Katherine Jaqueneau: You’re wearing an eye patch.
Dr. Richard Laverne: Right. Do you mind If I sketch you?
Katherine Jaqueneau: You want to sketch me?
Dr. Richard Laverne: Nothing would please me more.
Katherine Jaqueneau: Here?
Dr. Richard Laverne: No, back at my apartment.
Katherine Jaqueneau: Is it close?
Dr. Richard Laverne: Yes. It’s a 12-hour drive. Which, of course, feels like nothing when you’re behind the wheel of the world’s finest motorcar, Jag-u-ar.
Katherine Jaqueneau: Sure. I’ll go.
Dr. Richard Laverne: But you must make your decision quickly. We don’t have much time.
Katherine Jaqueneau: Did you not just hear me?
Dr. Richard Laverne: What did you say?
Katherine Jaqueneau: I said I would go with you.
Dr. Richard Laverne: There’s only one problem. I don’t know how to drive a stick. And I have no depth perception.
Katherine Jaqueneau: That’s fine.
Dr. Richard Laverne: And we will need to steal a car.
Katherine Jaqueneau: I thought you said you drove a Jaguar.
Dr. Richard Laverne: Jag-u-ar.
Katherine Jaqueneau: You need to stop saying it.
Dr. Richard Laverne: I’m sorry. I’m tired. You know, with the voiceovers and killing that guy.
Katherine Jaqueneau: You’re not really the voice of Jaguar, are you?
Dr. Richard Laverne: No, I’m not.
Katherine Jaqueneau: Are you really a spy for the Swiss government?
Dr. Richard Laverne: Quick, there’s not much time.
Katherine Jaqueneau: Shh. I’m leaving. [ she exits ]
