Why yes, so that whole business with Merriman and the clock was just a cover-up for his 
hopeless infatuation with Maggie Barnes.  I'm getting this all confused with Gossip Girl 
now.

And then Merriman will arrive  in a black leather jacket waving a gun and shouting  
"Enough is enough! I have had it with these m************ snakes in this m************ 
church!" 

I think we should start a movement to turn this film into a Rocky Horror Picture Show type 
of thing.  We bring plastic snakes and bags of black feathers to throw.  We shout lines out 
at the screen and maybe come up with a catchy dance number.
