For Columbus, whose idea of emotional outlawry is to unbuckle his seat belt and whom Wichita refers to as having "the guts of a guppy," she's one more woman to desire and fear. But, hey, the sisters are human. So the twosome become a foursome and head off for Pacific Playland...

Handing a leaflet to an undecided young mother, Byrne tells her that the treaty will help tackle human-trafficking and improve energy security in Europe. The woman appears unmoved. "I voted no last time because of militarization," she says. "And I don't think the government has done anything to make the issues clearer."
