Scene 1:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Terrace Hotel Hallway/Room

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, VIENNA HYATT

>> Carly: Careful. What if Vienna sees us? She's got a suite right down the hall, doesn't she?
>> Simon: Okay, who cares? When was the last time you threw away a few hundred thousand dollar necklace?
>> Carly: Never.
>> Simon: And why did we toss it in the river? Because this is more important.
[ Kissing as the door opens ] Vienna?
>> Vienna: I thought we had an understanding, Simon. Obviously, I was wrong. I should have known better. Once a liar always a liar.
>> Simon: I thought you loved that about me.
>> Vienna: Only when you're lying to someone else!
>> Simon: Which is what I'm doing to you, Carly. I'm sorry. I have been all this time. I cannot lie to myself anymore. I'm not over Vienna! I mean, how could I forget this? Just -- I'm sorry. I really wanted to break it to you gently, so if you'll just give me some time.
>> Carly: No. No, Simon. I wouldn't listen to you if you got down on your knees and you begged me all night!
>> Vienna: All night?
>> Simon: All night, exactly. And it may take all night, because you deserve an explanation.
>> Vienna: What's to explain? I'm in, she's out. Auf wiedersehen.
>> Simon: I thought you were going to let me handle this.
>> Vienna: How long does it take to say goodbye, you've had hours .
>> Vienna: Don't disappoint me, Simon.
>> Simon: We'll have breakfast in bed. How's that? You know what? I think I want --
>> Vienna: I know what you want.
[ Vienna leaves ]
>> Simon: Firecracker.
>> Carly: Did she go back to her room?
>> Simon: Yeah, to order breakfast. Yeah, hey there. Yeah, it's Simon Frasier. Can I order a bottle of champagne, please. As soon as possible. That'd be great. Thank you.
>> Carly: Champagne? No, no, no, now I know what you're after. I know what you have in mind.
>> Simon: Yeah?
>> Carly: And it's not going to happen. Simon, we have to be ready. If she says to hell with you and goes to Jack.
>> Simon: She's not going to call anybody., This may be very exciting for you somehow, but I just watched you slobber all over that Euro trash and it's really not a turn on for me.
>> Simon: Listen, all I'm doing is trying to protect you. That's why that happened, okay? All I want is you.
>> Carly: You know, she's right down the hall and --
>> Simon: Mm-hm.
>> Carly: And she's so suspicious.
>> Simon: Oh, she is.
>> Carly: And she's going to figure it out, you know. And when she does --
>> Simon: When she does -- we've covered all that. Okay? Now, in the meantime, you and I need some need somewhere soft, very warm and horizontal.
[ Carly giggling ]
>> Carly: You are so bad.
>> Simon: I thought you liked that about me.
>> Carly: Uh-uh.
>> Simon: No?
>> Carly: Well, maybe a little.
>> Simon: Just a little?


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

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, VIENNA HYATT

>> Carly: Um, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Simon. I just -- I can't stop thinking about Vienna right down the hall.
>> Simon: So stop thinking about Vienna down the hall, because by now, she's probably worked her way through the mini-bar. She's passed out.
[ Knock at the door ]
>> Carly: Oh. Oh, that's your champagne.
>> Simon: What?
>> Carly: That's the champagne you ordered.
>> Simon: The what? Oh, right.
>> Vienna: This is good-bye!
>> Carly: No. No. Not if I have anything to say about it. I'll do anything to keep him. I'll do anything.
>> Simon: She lost her mind. I was just trying to calm her down.
>> Vienna: So give her a sleeping pill.
>> Carly: Please, Simon. Please, I'm begging you. Please don't leave me. If you do -- if you leave me, I swear to God, I'll kill myself!
>> Vienna: Good.
>> Simon: Cuckoo.
>> Vienna: You think I'm buying this act?
>> Carly: This is not an act. I love him.
>> Vienna: He's not for sale. Let's go.
>> Simon: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Vienna, Vienna, Vienna. Now, I thought I explained the situation. We'll work it out.
>> Simon: It's not as simple as that.
>> Vienna: You like her.
>> Simon: Very much.
>> Vienna: Too bad. We had a deal.
>> Simon: No. No, Vienna, just be reasonable in this situation, okay?
>> Vienna: Either you walk out this door with me and get on a plane to someplace interesting or you'll be very sorry. Very soon.
>> Simon: You know what, Vienna? No. I'm sorry. See, you and I, we had a lot of fun, all right? We had a lot of laughs. But the truth is, I don't care what you do. Because I am not leaving Carly. Not now, not ever.


Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Terrace Hotel Room

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, VIENNA HYATT

>> Simon: We've been through a lot in the last few weeks, all right? But if I've learned one thing, it's that you and I, we can get through anything, including making this work, if we just stick together.
>> Vienna: You won't come with me?
>> Simon: No. No, I can't. See, Vienna, you were, you were -- you were lovely company, you were. You were a blast. An absolute blast. But see, this, what we have here, this is something different. Come on, I really hope you appreciate that.
>> Vienna: I see. I was lovely company, but she's what you want. And when I call the prince and tell him what you've done, that's not personal, either.
>> Carly: Simon --
>> Simon: Go on. Come on, yeah. Why not? Go on. Tell him. Tell him. Tell him everything that happened the night of that party. Tell him how you snuck away to be alone. Tell him how you begged me to be with you. Tell him how you took off all of your clothes.
>> Vienna: That's not the point.
>> Simon: Yeah, I think it is the point. You see, the Prince of Leonia is not going to want anyone to think his mistress is making a fool out of him. Right? Am I right? I mean, see, he's a very proud man, he is. And I think his image is more important to him than any diamond necklace.
>> Vienna: That's not just any diamond necklace, it's a royal treasure.
>> Simon: And you have no proof that I took it.
>> Vienna: And when he finds out that the necklace in the vault is a fake?
>> Simon: Oh, you haven't worn that necklace for weeks. I mean, dozens of people have probably had access to it. And listen, even if you do succeed in casting suspicion my way, who's to say the whole I mean, here you are, ready to collect.
>> Vienna: I hate you.
>> Simon: Yeah, you'll get over it. Vienna, it was what it was. Thank you very much. Just accept it.
>> Vienna: No. You're not going to just throw me away or keep those diamonds. Don't get too comfy, blondie. This isn't over.
>> Simon: Woah. Well, she's wrong.
>> Carly: You hurt her, Simon. And for a woman like that, that is not acceptable.
>> Simon: Carly, I had to say all those things. Listen, within an hour, she's going to be on a plane and she'll be with someone else by the time she touches down.
>> Carly: No, I don't think so. I think that she's just angry enough to tell the prince the truth.
>> Simon: Okay, all right. Listen, she can tell him what she suspects, because we both know it doesn't matter anymore.Sweetie, she has no proof.


Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Terrace Hotel Room

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Simon: Oh, listen, sweet. Vienna, she's not going to call anyone. All right, if she's still angry --
>> Carly: Still angry? Simon, you left her -- you left her for me.
>> Simon: And I'll do it all again. Look, we've been through a lot in the last few weeks, all right. But if I've learned one thing, is that you and I, we can get through anything, including making this work. If we just stick together.
>> Carly: Well, that's sweet, Simon, but the last time I checked, the federal prison system, they house the male and the female prisoners separately.
>> Simon: Oh, come on, we're not going to jail.
>> Carly: Even if Vienna swallows her pride, and tells the prince everything?
>> Simon: Okay, here we go. One last time, for the cheap seats way over there. Carly, she has no proof, all right? So, none of my contacts will talk and the diamond that I stupidly gave you? That is the only thing linking us to the prince's jewels. And where is that? At the bottom of the river.
[ Someone finds the diamond necklace down by the river! ]
