Scene 1:
Location: Java Underground

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: Bonjour! [ talking to her cardboard cut out ] Video Katie. Toutes mes felicitations! That means "congratulations" in French. You and I are billionaires. Oh, what a beautiful color! I think I shall make a paper flower. Snickers! Here! Snicker doodle -- What's wrong, my sweet bunny? Oh. I'm sorry. You must be starving! Here. Here, try some of this. I know it's a little wilted but -- try the fennel. You might like it.
>> Simon: I want the real green stuff!
>> Katie: You're not Snickers. Simon!
[ Katie laughing ]
>> Simon: Money, Katie. I want your money. [ Katie shrieks ]
>> Katie: No! No, Simon, no! Please! Please don't.
Stop it! Please, Simon, no! No, Simon!
[ Katie screams and wakes up in the cottage next to Simon ]
>> Simon: Hey, hey. Sweetheart --
>> Katie: Oh. Oh, I had the worst dream.

Scene 2:
Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: I had tons of money, you were there, except for you were Snickers.
>> Simon: Snickers? What, I was some randy rabbit?
>> Katie: Well, no, you were you, but only after I yanked your head off.
>> Simon: Ouch. So what happened after you beheaded me?
>> Katie: I'm not sure.
>> Simon: Baby, listen to me. Look at me. Something made you yell out.
>> Katie: Well, I'm sure you didn't mean to hurt me. You weren't choking me. You were choking the cardboard cutout of me. And you didn't get to me or my money --
>> Simon: Money. So I wanted your money?
>> Katie: I was cutting out a paper flower. I was gonna autograph it or something. And it -- it was this red, very deep, like, wine, crimson color --
>> Simon: Crimson color. Ah, and what's the name of the video production company?
>> Katie: Crimson Dahlia.
>> Simon: Crimson Dahlia.
>> Katie: Oh. Weird.
>> Simon: She got to you, Katie. Dahlia got right into your subconscious. And -- and no wonder, after the way I blew up at the party the other night. And again, I'm sorry I freaked out. But don't you see? In your dream, Dahlia was right. She said that somehow I would hurt you for your money.
>> Katie: No, don't say that, Simon. Don't ever say that again. I love you so much, and I am not afraid that you will hurt me. Okay? I don't care about the stupid party. I care about you and us. Nothing else matters. Thank goodness Dahlia is leaving town. And if I would've know the lengths that she would go to hurt you, I would've had her go out of town when she first got here.
>> Simon: Forget about Dahlia. Let's forget about Dahlia. What matters is us. What matters is this. And what matters is.

Scene 3:
Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: I have a feeling about this cottage. Remember when I told you that objects hold a certain vibration to them or a feeling?
>> Simon: So our cottage is experiencing some kind of karmic transmutation?
>> Katie: You remembered that?
>> Simon: Yeah. I remember every ridiculous, crazy, messed up thing you've ever said.
>> Katie: Really?
>> Simon: Yes.
>> Katie: Well, I think our little cottage would be lonely if we left it, so let's stay here tonight.
>> Simon: Stay here?
>> Katie: Yeah.
>> Simon: On the floor all night?
>> Katie: Hey, it was good enough --
>> Simon: Yeah.
>> Katie: It'll be fine.I have some extra blankets in the car, and I think maybe even a pillow or two. Come on. I want our cottage to know that we belong to it now that it's our home, and it's our safe place where nothing bad can happen, and we don't have to worry about a thing.
>> Simon: Yeah, well, I worry that the ceiling's going to fall in, and the windows are going to fall out.
>> Katie: Oh, come on. You just have to know how to open them right. They're fine.
[ Katie yells ]
>> Simon: Katie -- be careful. I do not want you getting hurt.
>> Katie: I know. I know.

Scene 4:
Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Simon: A little bit of atmosphere.
>> Katie: Hmm. Oh, I love it here.
>> Simon: I'm going to make this cottage a real home, Katie -- something solid.
>> Katie: Like you.
>> Simon: Like my love for you.
>> Katie: Aw. And I'm going to make it so beautiful.
>> Simon: Like you.
>> Katie: Good one.
>> Simon: Well, if anyone can do that, you can. You know, you were saying before about this house having feelings --
>> Katie: Mm-hmm.
>> Simon: I think it's saying to us that we're going to be okay, and by staying here we're like bonding with it, letting it know that it belongs to us.
>> Katie: Do you feel how enchanted it is? [ sighs ] This is our safe place -- where nothing bad can happen. Our very own safe place.
