The tower.

428

from everything!

429
She has a tower?

430
HELEN/ Please?
Just come down from there.

431
MIA:
Most kids hope for a car...

432

433
Just make yourseIf comfortabIe.

434
[Fat Louie hisses]

435
HELEN/

HELEN/ l have a thought.

446
Mia promises neither
to accept nor reject...

447
your offer to be royaI

448

449
Now, can you

450
It seems I have no option.
