ELIZABETH: Quentin, you don't know who this is, but there was a man named Jason McGuire who was very bad. He came back to Collinsport in 1967, and blackmailed me into marrying him. Well he would take me to Big Mama's Place and he would spend a lot of money there...we went there at LEAST 40 or 50 times and he never payed the money off. I didn't want to pay off the money he owed by paying them--it would cost a lot of money and I didn't want people knowing I had been there--
QUENTIN: Wouldn't people have seen you?
ELIZABETH: No when I went there I put on a blonde wig and said I was Marilyn Monroe.
QUENTIN: Oh.
ELIZABETH: So well they recently called and they said I could re-pay them by doing a gig there for two weeks....I put on a lot of makeup and well yesterday was my last night there and I guess I was so happy that I forgot to put enough makeup on..Do you believe me?
QUENTIN: Well....I guess.
ELIZABETH: Thank you for understanding Quentin.
