Mary's mind races as she begins to catch up to them. How is she going to explain this? How would they react to her sabotage? What was she going to say?
"I... I don't know... I'm... I'm scared, Jim... what's happening to us?" She lunges forward and grasps her boyfriend (if he/she can still be called that) in a tight hug and begins to cry. It was lame, it was schmaltzy, but hopefully they'd buy it.
