6) In which Dr. Phil finds Bean's dad at his lab while two ex-lovers inhabit a RomCom trope

(DR PHIL'S lab, a huge computer screen and every gadget that you can imagine a tech wizard needing.  DR PHIL sits at his command station and swivels the chair so that it's facing the screen before him.

DR. PHIL

Why do we care what happens to this guy?

 

PRINCESS DI

It’s her Father.

 

DR. PHIL

And who is she exactly?

 

PRINCESS DI

She’s with me.  That’s all you need to know.

 

BEAN
I let Di out of his computer. 

It looks like he started all of this.

 

DR. PHIL

Oh shit.

 

PRINCESS DI

You wouldn’t be here,

If I weren’t here.

And I wouldn’t be here.

If Bean hadn’t hacked into her Dad’s computer.

So that’s why we care about what happens to this guy.

 

DR. PHIL
I’ll run a scan of the system.

 

PRINCESS DI
So…  Sy Siegel going to be worried about you?

Out here with a Vigilante?

 

BEAN
Stop.

 

PRINCESS DI
Struck a nerve?

 

BEAN
We don’t have to talk about it.

 

PRINCESS DI
Why?  I love hearing about my lover’s other lovers.

 

DR PHIL

You all don’t have to be in here while I—

 

BEAN
You left.

 

PRINCESS DI
Yeah, I know that. 

I’m being sincere.

I really love hearing about my lover’s other lovers.

 

BEAN

Whatever.

 

PRINCESS DI

 

BEAN

 

PRINCESS DI

I just…expected more from you than… 

 

BEAN
Than what?

 

PRINCESS DI
A senator’s kid.

 

BEAN
Well, I was never really as much of a revolutionary as you were, Di.

 

PRINCESS DI

Yeah…

(Tense, awkward silence.)

 

DR PHIL

Found him.

BEAN

What?  Where?

DR PHIL

Oh...

It’s...not good.
