(slow, tense music)
(door creaks)
- I got your text.
I got here as soon as I could.
(slow, tense music)
(breathes deeply)
- [Michael] What did the text say?
- Michael.
- [Michael] What'd it say!?
- It said, "Where's Rodriga, she's gone."
(bangs) - Hey.
Hey, Michael!
Let's just talk about this.
- Yeah, let's talk.
Rodriga...
isn't a dog or a cat.
She's a lizard.
- I know. - (stammers) Stop.
Who has no idea where her home is.
- Listen.
I love Rodriga as much as you do, okay?
I didn't do this on purpose.
- Then why did you leave the door open?
- When I woke up this morning,
I was called to an emergency downtown.
I had to save another cop's life, Michael.
I'm sorry.
(slow, tense music)
- You know, I'm a nurse.
You know that?
- Yeah, I know that. - Yeah.
And I can throw the war stories in your face, too,
and let you know that I saved a little boy today,
but I don't wanna tell you that.
But I did today.
I saved an eight year old boy from a shark attack.
And I held his hand and I said,
"No shark will ever attack you again."
And I lied to him 'cause I don't know
if a shark will get him 'cause I won't be
by him all the time, but the point is...
- I didn't know-- - No, stop.
Stop.
(slow, tense music)
The point is my...
My Rodriga's gone.
And I don't know if I'm gonna see her again
because of the negligence on your end!
- Did you ever think that it may have been
because she wanted to be away from you!?
Maybe that's something you need to think about.
Maybe you need to think about the fact
that Rodriga wanted to leave.
- You know what? You don't need to worry about me anymore
'cause I'm gonna find my fucking pet.
- Stop, stop it, stop it right there.
- Get your fucking hands off me.
- You stop.
- You get your hands off me. - Stop it.
Just calm down. - Hands off me.
- You calm down.
- Get your (slaps).
- Wait.
- Get off of me. - You're not leaving
like this, you're not leaving like this, no.
Michael, no, you're not leaving.
You're not leaving!
Michael!
Michael.
(tense, dramatic music)
(sobs)
(grunts)
Michael!
- [Michael] What?
- Michael, I found her.
(chuckles) I found her.
(whizzes and pounds)
(dramatic, emotional music)
(whooshes and squeaks)
