*Rena walks by the hotel in Hilton. Suddenly Ernest races over from the 
direction of the pier, (;;;)ing, and stops behind her*

Ernest: (;;;) Rena! Please! You got to cover for me!

Rena: *turns around* Ernest? What's wrong?

*Ernest continues running past her, hiding behind Bender's Instruments*

Opera: Ernest! Wait up!

Rena: Huh?

*Opera runs over and stops in front of Rena*

Opera: Have you seen Ernest around, Rena? He probably went down this way.

	# Right there.
	## I haven't seen him.

Rena: *turns towards where Ernest is hidden* He hid over there just now.

Ernest: (!) Rena!? *gives up and comes out ... slowly*

Rena: (angry cloud) Well, Opera's been running all over town looking for you, 
Ernest! How do you expect me to just lie to her like that?

Opera: Ern! Oh, finally! Why're you hiding from me?

Ernest: Um ... /nervous chuckle/ well ...

Opera: Why are you being so cruel to me, Ern? Do I really annoy you that much?

*Ernest turns away and looks down, and Rena shakes her head. Ernest turns 
back to look at her*

Rena: Oh, I really don't think so, Opera. I'm sure Ernest is just having a little 
fun with you. Right, Ernest?

*Ernest turns to look at Opera*

Opera: Hmm ...

Ernest: Uh ...

Rena: *looks down* Oh, I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?

Ernest: Nah, you don't have to apologize, Rena.

Opera: Hee hee! Thanks, Rena. If you ever leave me alone again, Ern, 
I'll chase you to the ends of the universe.How about we actually hang out 
together for a change? Maybe have some drinks or something?

Ernest: Yeah ... sure.

*He walks over to Opera and the two of them head for the bar, the Ship of Fools*

[if you speak to Opera in the bar] Opera: (music note) I'm going to chase 
you wherever you go, Ern.

[if you speak to Ernest in the bar] Ernest: Why not? It'd be a nice change 
from me chasing after ancient civilizations.

Rena: ... No, I haven't seen him.

Opera: (...) Oh ... you haven't? If you're trying to screw around with our 
relationship, Rena, I'll never forgive you.

Rena: Uh ...

Opera: (music note) Well, of course I'd never expect you to do something 
like that. Hee hee!

Rena: (sweat) Ah ha ha ha ...

Opera: See you later then. If you do see Ern around, tell him I'm waiting 
for him at the bar.

*Opera leaves, and moments after Ernest emerges and Rena turns to look at him*

Ernest: Whew ... she's gone.

Rena: Look, I'm not doing that for you again, okay? Opera was really scary!

Ernest: Sorry, sorry.

Rena: (angry cloud) It wouldn't kill you to reciprocate Opera's feelings 
for a change, would it?

Ernest: (...) No ... well, maybe once I figure out what my own feelings are.

[If you speak to Ernest again] ernest: Phew. Thanks, Rena.

[If you speak to Opera in the Ship of Fools] Opera: Ern ... Where are you?
