          Rodney says, "Life goes on, Sandy."  Sandy says she needs a 
          tooth brush.  Rodney says that she would have to walk across 
          town to find an all-night drugstore.  She asks Rodney to 
          stay with her.  Rodney reminds Sandy that Lee is still her 
          husband.  Sandy says, "Is it Lee you are afraid of or me?"  
          Rodney tells Sandy to go to her room and stay there.  Rodney 
          sits guard on a bench in the lobby of the Inn.  The clerk 
          tells Rodney that the police can't get there too quick.
