“For God's sake, enough!” he bellowed, flicking his cigarette over the edge of the cliff and rolling onto his side to face her and be closer to her. He was the strength that kept them going, he knew, and he had to raise her spirits now. “You can't af-ford to be empathetic, Penny.”

“I know.”

“It'll get us nowhere.”

She nodded.

“We've had a good stroke of luck, to fall into this deal, and we've got to be ruthless about ex-ploiting it.”

She smiled. “I'll stay up tonight and practice being ruthless before my mirror.”

He hugged her and said, “That's more like it.”

“I just hope it doesn't have to go on much longer,” Penny said. “It's fraying my nerves.”

He said, “Just remember what it was like when you hadn't any money, when you had to—take to the streets. And remember how bad it's been for us to get going, to get any roles worth dirt. What we make here will give us a chance to set up our own productions and to hell with all the casting direc-tors we've had to bow to.”

“I guess I can hold up,” she said, finishing her cigarette.

He said, “Besides, it won't be more than a day or two now. Gwyn's ready to go over the edge.

Maybe tonight. Maybe tomorrow. But soon.”
