In this short scene, Roxane and Jaques discuss the events of the night before. Jaques is upset because his mother-in-law is trying to set him up. He is also upset because Jaques has made sure that he will be blamed for the whole thing. He asks Roxane to calm him down and tells her that Jaques would never do anything like this to her. He tells her to go back to work immediately. He says that if the charges are true, Jaques will be in a lot of trouble. He adds that if they are not, it will not look good for Jaques to say that he saw the "saw" . Roxane says that she cannot believe what she has seen. She tells Jaques that he is too popular with the management at the insurance company and that he looks like he is not in. She asks Jaques if he can help her clean up the mess she has made. He admits that he has been "such an ass" since Roxane left him, and he asks her to cover for him while he "reorganizes this mess"
