Scene 1:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Outside Stores

CARLY SNYDER, KATIE KASNOFF

>> Katie: It's just such an unusual stone, you know? Not the kind of thing you see in any old jewelry store windows. So I was just wondering where Simon could've got it.
>> Carly: What's the funny thing about me, katie? When a man gives me a gift, I don't typically ask him where he bought it.
>> Katie: Oh well, next time you see him just ask him for me, will you? I'm just curious.
>> Carly: Well, I think you'll have to stay that way. I'm not going to ask him anything for you.
>> Katie: It's just a question, Carly. Why are you so upset?
>> Carly: I think you know why. Excuse me. I will meet my son now.
>> Katie: Just the truth, Carly. You don't want to tell me where Simon got it because you can't.
>> Carly: Ohh! Well, finally, I'm getting through.
>> Katie: Because Simon didn't buy the necklace, did he? My guess is, he stole it.


Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Room

SIMON FRASIER, BELLMAN

>> Simon: "Simon, you bad boy, I know what you've done." Hey, Fred!
>> Bellman: Yes, Mr. Frasier?
>> Simon: Who gave you this note?
>> Bellman: Nobody.
>> Simon: Listen, was it a girl with dark hair? An accent? Or was it a blonde?
>> Bellman: It was left at the desk. I don't know who left it there. Sorry.
>> Simon: Okay.


Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Outside Stores

CARLY SNYDER, KATIE KASNOFF

>> Carly: Katie, would you just leave me alone?
>> Katie: I will. I will. As soon as you tell me where Simon got the necklace.
>> Carly: Look, I have tried to be patient with you, because I know that you and Mike split up.
>> Katie: Whatever happened with Mike happened for one reason -- Simon.
>> Carly: However it happened, I know how hard it is to end a marriage.
>> Katie: My marriage is not over. It won't be. Stopping it, huh?
>> Katie: I'll figure something out. I'll figure out a way.
>> Carly: Oh, and this is it? This is the way?
>> Katie: What are you talking about?
>> Carly: Mike pushed you away because of this thing you have for Simon, so you need to prove to him that you have no use for Simon whatsoever. Am I getting close here?
>> Katie: We were talking about the necklace.
>> Carly: And what better way to prove that you hate Simon than to start some kind of smear campaign against him.
>> Katie: He stole those diamonds and you helped him.
>> Carly: Prove it.
>> Katie: Don't think I won't.
>> Carly: Or you could just do what's best all around and just admit it. Admit that you still love him.
>> Katie: Oh please. Is that what Simon said?
>> Carly: Katie, he is with me now. And I know that you can accept that and move on.
>> Katie: I've accepted so many things about Simon. I've accepted that he's a thief. I've accepted that he leaves. He always leaves. In fact, he will leave you just like he left me and every other woman he's claimed to love.
>> Carly: What you wrote in that book was embarrassing and hurtful. Can't you just let that be enough?
>> Katie: I can. I will never bother you or Simon again. You'll never have to talk to me or see me.
>> Carly: Can I get that in writing?
>> Katie: Just one question. Where did Simon get the necklace?


Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Outside Bookstore

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, KATIE KASNOFF, BOOKSTORE CLERK

>> Carly: Well, that would sell another billion copies of your book, wouldn't it? If your story were true. If Simon and I stole some diamonds.
>> Katie: I was married to the man. I know him. And I saw him when he read about the jewel theft in my book. He was worried.
>> Carly: Of course he was. He was worried about what your accusations -- what effect they would have on me and my children.
>> Katie: Oh please.
>> Carly: He cared very much about you. He probably always will. This building, this project that he and I worked on together, it is very important to him, because it was legitimate and it made him a ton of money. Simon is trying to become someone new. Someone that he wasn't before. Why can't you just let him do that?
>> Katie: You're trying to convince me that he's changed, Carly, and he can't. He doesn't know how.
>> Carly: No, I think you're the one who hasn't changed. You're still childish and selfish enough to want him to hurt just because you do. Well, find some other way to deal with your broken heart, all right? And leave me and Simon alone.
[ Simon walks up ]
>> Simon: Listen, Katie, I get why you're angry at me. That's fine. But can you please, please just leave Carly out of this. She does not deserve this.
>> Bookstore clerk: Katie. We've got a few late arrivals inside. Could you sign a few more books?
>> Katie: Sure. You know, it's not me that Carly has to worry about. If anyone's hurt her, it's you. Something's going on here and I'm not dropping this until I find out what it is.


Scene 5:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Outside Bookstore

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, KATIE KASNOFF

>> Carly: You told me that Katie thought she made the whole robbery thing up.
>> Simon: Did she say something different to you?
>> Carly: She came right out and actually accused you of stealing the jewelry, Simon. And then she started asking all kinds of questions.
>> Carly: Oh, I'm off balance!
>> Simon: You know what, I think she's trying to do the same thing for me. Look at this.
>> Carly: She got in touch with Vienna? Who else has she talked to? What if she goes to the cops?
>> Simon: Carly, Carly, this note obviously is just a hoax from Katie, right? If we don't panic, it's not going to yield anything. She's just fishing.
>> Carly: First the book, now this. She's relentless.
>> Simon: So are we. She's not going to ruin us, okay? Okay?
[ Cell phone rings ]
>> Carly: My carpool buddy. Hey, Leslie. What's up? I'm by the bookstore at Old Town. Oh, what sort of project? Oh, okay. All right, thanks. J.J.'S got a science project due, so he and his buddy are going to work on that instead of coming down here to meet me.
>> Simon: All right. Do you have anymore shopping to do?
>> Carly: No. I'm going to go over to Java, you wanna come?
>> Simon: You know what? I might just hang here. I've got some shopping of my own to do.
>> Carly: You mean you're going to talk to Katie again.
>> Simon: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to see if I can't get her to back off and give us some space.
>> Carly: You think it'll work?
>> Simon: I'll make sure it does. See you later?
>> Carly: Yeah. Absolutely.
>> Simon: Katie.
>> Katie: I was just leaving.
>> Simon: Well, I would appreciate it if you stayed and talked to me.
>> Katie: About what?
>> Simon: About letting go of all this old resentment. Please, just putting it to rest.
>> Katie: I didn't write that stuff in the book to -- >> Simon: To? To what? To hurt me? To hurt Carly? So why did you write it?
>> Katie: To sell books.
>> Simon: To sell books. To sell books. Okay, that's fair enough. So what was today all about?
>> Katie: I just asked Carly a few questions.
>> Simon: Because you honestly think that what you wrote in that book was true? What? You really think that Carly and I stole some jewels?
>> Katie: Well, suddenly you sure have a lot of money.
>> Simon: It was from a real estate deal, Katie.
>> Katie: And Carly didn't have any idea where you bought her that necklace.
>> Simon: Because it's a gift, okay? You don't tell people where you got the gift from.
>> Katie: So tell me.
>> Simon: Why? Why should I? I'm not going to do that.
>> Katie: Because you can't.
>> Simon: Because that's not going to end it. You see, Katie, I could give you with the name of my jeweler, and you could follow it up, and you'll never be satisfied, because you'll still of some vast conspiracy. And this will go on and on and on and on. Because you don't want the truth, you want me to be alone like you. Look, why don't you start to put some of this energy that you've got into something positive like getting back what you want, like Mike? I am really sorry for how things have turned out, I really am. But please, can you just let this go?
>> Katie: Did you do it, Simon? Did you steal those diamonds?
>> Simon: Unbelievable. No, Katie. No, I didn't.
>> Katie: Yeah.
>> Simon: You don't believe me.
>> Katie: No.
>> Simon: Well, fortunately for me, I've found someone who believes that I am capable of being a better man than I was. And I will not lose her, Katie. Believe that.
>> Katie: I spent years of my life believing in you. Accepting things just because you said they were true. I believed you were dead -- you weren't. I believed that you were leaving me forever -- you didn't. I believed that you loved me, that you didn't love me. Well, you know what? I'm sick and tired of believing in you. I'm going to find out things for myself from now on.
>> Simon: So what? What? You're just gonna keep on hunting until you find anything that points to my guilt? Anything?
>> Katie: If you're not guilty, what do you have to worry about?
>> Simon: Wow. What happened to you? There's just no reasoning with you anymore, is there?
>> Katie: You know what, Simon? You can make me look vengeful and stupid all you want, but I know you. I know that someday, somewhere, someone's gonna bring you down, and I just hope I am there to see it.
