Scene VI
In Carl's house again. Jessica has been untied and she and Carl are sitting down to tea.
CARL: Well, so, Jessica, Elizabeth has gotten on your nerves at times, hasn't she?
JESSICA: Yeah. She gets pretty damn annoying. Honestly. She's all like, 'Nooo, don't do that, that's dangerous.' At times, I just want to strangle her.
CARL: So, how about it? Do you want to help me kidnap your sister? We can get revenge together. Me, for her firing me. And you, for her being a goody-two-shoes.
J: Hmm.. kidnap my own twin sister? Sounds intriguing.
C: So you'll do it?
J: Sure, what the hell. Francine Pascal's been running out of ideas for about twenty years anyway. Maybe this'll liven things up.
C: All right! Oh boy, we can start planning things! I love this part! First of all, what could we do to lure her out here?
J: We could tell her that we're holding one of her friends hostage here. She's bound to come for that.
C: But she would realize that they weren't actually missing. Unless she's incredibly stupid?
J: Oh yeah, I forgot- she and her brainy pals are among the few people in Sweet Valley who have a lick of good sense. So I guess that wouldn't work.
C: Maybe you could tell her that there's a big book sale going on over here. Would that work?
J: Great idea! She loves books!
C: Now we just have to put the plan into action, and revenge shall be ours!
