SOON, a handsome Stutz SV 19 pulls onto the beachfront, and Kynaston runs to greet its driver!
PHILCO: Who's that shooting a toothpaste ad under your window?
VERONICA: Reggie Riverdale, race car driver, Kynaston's uncle, and my husband. I think his last race was in Monaco, but I'm not sure anymore.

PHILCO: So--you're married?
VERONICA: I honestly don't know. I've been too busy to keep score and Reggie never gave our marriage a thought. Damn! I wish I could stop thinking about him! You read Born and Jordan's 1925 breakdown of quantum mechanics. Professor Einstein says he doesn't believe two subatomic particles can be entangled instantaneously across the universe, faster than light! Einstein says that's too "spooky."
Let me assure you: there's far spookier things in the human heart! Regret, resentment, the midnight-show unspooling of past events: those subparticles seem never to go away!

VERONICA: Goodbye, you two! Be reckless!
I've asked Reggie to take Kynaston out of Monterey for her own safety!
PHILCO: Why's that?
VERONICA: Remember 'Frisco in 1909? We're smack dab on that fault line and there'll be a major quake here later--today! We have to skeddadle ourselves--but out to sea in the opposite direction from my niece!
PHILCO: "Out to sea"?! I was even chicken to do the kiddie boat ride on the Santa Monica pier! I'm with you, though! (I must be out of my mind.)
