Scene: Java

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: Hi. Could I have a cup of your strongest blend -- milk, one sugar, please?
>> Simon: And I'll just get a top-up, thank you.
>> Carly: Oh, hi. You know, it's difficult to recognize you -- the clothing and all.
>> Simon: Oh, are you disappointed? 'Cause I can -- I was just joking. Oh, come on, did I really say something wrong?
>> Carly: No. No, Simon, for once it's not you.
>> Simon: Well, that narrows it down a bit. You want to talk about it?
>> Carly: No.
>> Simon: You want me to keep asking until you give in?
>> Carly: It's Jack. We're taking the -- the final step and moving ahead with the divorce.
>> Simon: Oh, Carly, I'm really sorry.
>> Carly: Thanks.
>> Simon: Listen, I know how difficult this must be for you, but, I mean, isn't this where you were heading all along?


Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Java

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: You know, to be honest with you, I'm not even really sure what it is I want.
>> Simon: Or are you running from the inevitable?
>> Carly: Divorce is inevitable?
>> Simon: Usually, when it's gone this far, right?
>> Carly: Oh, that's very comforting coming from you. You know, someone like you, who's mastered the long-term relationship.
>> Simon: All right, you're absolutely right. I mean, who the hell am I to give relationship advice? Listen, do you want to trade this in for something stronger?
>> Carly: I'm not in the mood.
>> Simon: Carly, listen, I know this must be tough on you, but I'm sure it doesn't have to be a sad ending. I mean, think of it as a new and exciting beginning. One requires tears, the other -- a drink with a foolish Aussie who wants nothing more than to see you smile. It's your call.

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: Thank you, but I'm just -- I'm gonna stick with coffee today.
>> Simon: Okay. Champagne will keep.
>> Carly: Simon, I don't want to be rude to you, but I would prefer to be alone now.
>> Simon: Okay. I envy that.
>> Carly: What?
>> Simon: People who know how to be alone. I never was much good at that.
>> Carly: Well, you know, I'm not sure I'm any good at it, either.
>> Simon: Well, listen, let me know if you get a sudden craving for something with bubbles.
>> Carly: You deliver?
>> Simon: Only to my very best customers. You be nice to yourself, okay?
>> Carly: I'll try. Thank you.
