*After Melanie & Ben are reunited*
Melanie & Ben: *lingering kiss*
Ben: I've gotta go check the hydraulics in that battery car.
Melanie: Alright.
Ben: *kisses her again* See you later, Boss. *grabs his pants and leaves*
Melanie: *watches him go with an appreciative smile*
Also Melanie: *notices Ruth crawling toward the door* Ruth?!
Ruth: I didn't see anything!
Melanie: Wh-What are you doing here?!
Ruth: Well, you see, that's a bit of a mystery. I haven't been doing so well, lately, ever since Mr. Wilford, well. You know. And umm, I've been feeling a bit, oh I dont know, forlorn, you might say? Like God has abandoned me and this train, so last night I added just a bit of sherry to my cuppa, and umm. That didn't seem to help so I popped over to see Boki and borrow a touch of his vodka and well, I drank quite a lot of it. Don't remember much after, until I uh, woke up in here. And the, uh, air. Was thick with the scent of love and I heard you cry out something along the lines of, "Never stop fucking me!", so naturally I did not wish to disturb. So I just, umm. Stayed here. Lying under this table. Praying for the sweet release of death.
Melanie: That was polite of you.
Ruth: Yes, well. *straightens her teal blazer* Manners are everything.
