Back with Robert & Giselle

Robert: I try to do the right thing.

Giselle: Oh, you've been very nice to me.

Robert: Severely punished for it. OK, look, Giselle? I can't help you anymore. OK?

Giselle: What?

She looks confused

Robert: Here's some money. I want you to take it. Call your prince. Have him pick you up, bring his horse. Because I honestly, I just can't handle it.

Giselle: Robert?

Robert: Just go.

Giselle: I'm so sorry. You have been a very kind friend to me when I had none. And I would never want to make you unhappy or cause you any trouble, so... ...I'll go. I wish you every happiness.

She walks around for a while until she sees a lady feeding birds

Giselle: You have lovely friends.

Clara: Would you like to feed the birds? Just a dollar a bag.

Giselle: Certainly. By chance, have you seen my prince?

Clara: He was here.

Giselle: Do you really think so?

Glara: Oh, yes.

Robert walks up to them

Robert: Giselle? What are you doing?

Giselle: Robert! This is Clara. She saw Edward.

Clara: He was on the bus this morning. He tried to kill me!

Robert: Great. Wonderful. Thank you. What are you thinking? You can't just give people money.

Giselle: You gave me money.

Robert: That's not the point.

Giselle: And she was very helpful.

Robert: So, what's the deal, this prince of yours? How long you two been together?

Giselle: Oh, about a day.

Robert: You mean it feels like a day because you're so in love?

Giselle: No. It's been a day.

Robert: You're kidding me. A day? One day?

Giselle: Yes. And tomorrow will be two days.

Robert: You're joking.

Giselle: No. I'm not.

Robert: Yeah, you are.

Giselle: But I'm not.

Robert: You're gonna marry somebody after a day because you fell in love with him?

Giselle: Yes. Yes!

Robert: I don't get it. How can you talk about loving some guy, you don't even know?

Giselle: Well, I know what's in his heart.

Robert: Oh, OK. Great.

Giselle: This was so yummy. I didn't know that food could taste like this.

Robert: You all done? OK. Let me put that out for you.

Giselle: What about you? How long have you known your Nancy?

Robert: Uh, it's five years.

Giselle: And you haven't proposed?

Robert: Well, no. I...

Giselle: Well, no wonder she's angry.
