Scene 1:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Outside Happy Feet Dance Studio

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: What are you doing here?
>> Simon: That doesn't sound very friendly.
>> Carly: Does it sound scared? Because that's what I am.
>> Simon: It really doesn't matter what you have to say. Because that look in your eyes when you just saw me was everything I needed to hear.
>> Carly: Please tell me this is a coincidence.
>> Simon: No, it's not. I knew you were going to pick up Sage from dance class.
>> Carly: Simon, I told you why we can't be seen together. It's dangerous. Why can't you just give it up?
>> Simon: I had those tickets that I bought to go to Hawaii, and I was going to use mine --I was.
>> Carly: You should have.
>> Simon: No, I should have, but I couldn't. Carly, for the first time in my life, I couldn't run away.
>> Carly: This is hard, I know that, I'm sorry. No, please, Simon, not here.
>> Simon: All right, come here.


Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Happy Feet Dance Studio

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, SAGE SNYDER

>> Carly: Please -- please, don't.
>> Simon: We can't just throw what we have away, Carly.
>> Carly: Simon, my daughter is in this building. What if someone sees us? What if one of the other mothers sees us?
>> Simon: All right, okay. Okay, fine, I'm sorry. Listen, what we have --
>> Carly: Has to be over.
>> Simon: Why? Come on, it is so obvious how strongly we feel about each other. How can you just say that? How can you say it has to be over?
>> Carly: Because it does, it has to be.
>> Simon: I've spent the last couple of days, okay, and I couldn't stop thinking about you.
>> Carly: Oh, Simon --
>> Simon: No, just listen. Christmas -- Christmas, of all times -- it was awful. Because I kept thinking about you, alone, without your kids. I mean, I kept calling you --
>> Carly: I know you did.
>> Simon: So why didn't you answer? Why didn't you call me back? I mean, you didn't have to be alone.
>> Carly: I wasn't. Jack asked me to the farm, I spent the day with the kids.
>> Simon: Good.
>> Carly: Good?
>> Simon: Good, yeah -- no, I mean it. It's good.
>> Carly: I thought that maybe you'd be jealous.
>> Simon: Yeah, like I want to see you spend Christmas without your kids. Do you not ever listen to anything I say?
>> Carly: You want what's best for me.
>> Simon: Yeah.
>> Carly: Simon, you are not what's best for me.
>> Simon: Come on, there has to be a way.
>> Carly: I wish there were.
>> Simon: There has to be. There has to be. Carly, just -- I love you. And I know that you feel the same way about me.
>> Carly: I do. I do.
>> Simon: Carly, I need you to understand that I never want to hurt you, ever. But we can't pretend that we don't have these mutual feelings. And what I'm asking you is to, please, just not -- don't just give up -- to try to find a way to make this work.
>> Carly: Simon, it can't.
>> Simon: See, that's the thing I don't understand about you. You see, you're not the person -- you're not the kind of person who just gives up.
>> Carly: No. No, and if I choose to be with you, then I'd be choosing to give up my children.
>> Simon: We don't know that for sure.
>> Carly: Yes, we do. Simon, Jack knows what we did. He's got the upper hand. The only reason that I was able to see my children on Christmas is because he allowed me to.
>> Simon: And, what? And that's fair? No, that's not fair.
>> Carly: Oh, well, when it comes to Jack and me, I try to avoid discussions about what's fair, because believe it or not, there was a time or two -- or 3 million -- when I wasn't exactly fair to him.
>> Simon: Well, you would never just stop him from seeing his kids.
>> Carly: Simon, he's not trying to stop me from seeing my kids. He's trying to stop you from seeing my kids.
>> Simon: Yeah, and that's a part of it.
>> Carly: Part of it?
>> Simon: Yeah, yeah -- pretty much, bottom line is he doesn't want you seeing me, full stop.
>> Carly: Jack and I are divorced.
>> Simon: Yeah, and he is so obviously not over you.
>> Carly: You know, it's not just my ex that we're up against. Katie and Vienna are quite the vigilantes.
>> Simon: So, we just let our exes decide that we both don't get to be happy?
>> Carly: Simon, I think we decided that for ourselves.
>> Simon: I can't lose you. I can't, I won't.
>> Sage: Rebecca is in the front line, and I dance way better than her.
>> Carly: Where did she get this competitive spirit, I wonder?
>> Sage: Hi, Simon.
>> Simon: Hey, sweetie. Hey, listen, all you've got to do is tell me where this Rebecca dame lives, and we will have a little talk.
>> Sage: She's only 8.
>> Simon: 8? What do you think -- yeah, you know what? I think I can take on an 8-year-old.
>> Sage: You're crazy.
>> Carly: And we're late. Now, go and get changed up so we can go, all right? Hey, you know, and if you practice a little more, you can be in the front line, too.
>> Simon: She's incredible. I know why your kids mean so much to you.
>> Carly: Simon, if you care about us -- if you care about us at all, there's only one thing you can do. Leave. Leave town, and don't come back.


Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lobby

MIKE KASNOFF, KATIE KASNOFF, KIM HUGHES, BOB HUGHES

>> Mike: I know how you look at the world, I know how you think. And I used to think that was great.
>> Katie: I don't understand.
>> Mike: Well, this divorce is not just about you sleeping with Simon. Okay, for you, when something goes wrong, you create some big scheme, some big plan so you can stay on top of things. You know, like when I find out about you sleeping with Simon -- bam, you run off to go find the diamond.
>> Katie: I know, and you were right about that. That's like weaseling out of what's really wrong. I won't do that anymore, I promise.
>> Mike: But it's not just that. Like all the drama about having a baby. Maybe you were just covering up that I wasn't enough for you.
>> Katie: No.
>> Mike: And for all I know, maybe you married me because you were trying to cover up for losing Simon.
>> Katie: No, that's not true, Mike, please --
>> Mike: I don't know. Look, I'm the kind of guy -- I just, I need things concrete. I need to know what I'm dealing with.
>> Katie: Okay, let me do that. Let me -- now that -- oh, damn it.
>> Kim: Oh, hi!
>> Bob: Hi.
>> Kim: Oh, it's so nice to see you two together.
>> Mike: Kim, Bob.
>> Kim: I hope this means you're coming to our party.
>> Mike: No, I'm actually tied up tonight. But maybe Katie can make it. It was good seeing both of you.
>> Kim: You, too.
>> Bob: Good to see you, Mike.
>> Kim: Oh, Katie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
>> Katie: No, it's okay, we were -- we were finished anyway. Good to see you.
>> Kim: Yes, dear. Oh, boy, that was bad.
>> Bob: Well, at least they're talking.
>> Kim: Yeah, but in public places. Guys have a bad habit of dropping big bombs in public places. Controls the reaction.
>> Bob: When did you become a munitions expert?
>> Kim: It's a deep, dark secret.
>> Bob: Have you seen Lisa?
>> Kim: No. Here I thought you wanted to have a few quiet moments before we go to the party. Oh, come on, sweetie. Every year you make it seem as if you're going to have a root canal.
>> Bob: There's a point to a root canal.
>> Kim: Stop being a curmudgeon.
>> Bob: Well, you've got to get this into Lisa's safe.

Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Happy Feet Dance Studio

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Simon: Carly, that diamond is at the bottom of a landfill now. So it doesn't matter what Jack thinks, 'cause he can't prove anything.
>> Carly: Well, Simon, Jack is a much better cop than you are a thief.
>> Simon: Ouch.
>> Carly: He's giving us a pass right now. But if you stick around and he sees us together, then the investigation becomes front and center again.
>> Simon: And if I do what you say and run, then I look as guilty as hell.
>> Carly: You are guilty as hell.
>> Simon: And you would rather give up being happy than see him hurt again.
>> Carly: No, no, no. No, this is a pragmatic decision. What is going to keep me out of jail? Well, not antagonizing the cop who could put me there, for starters.
>> Simon: And you keep steering this conversation away from the only thing that seems to really matter right now.
>> Carly: Which is what?
>> Simon: That we're in love.
>> Carly: Well, Simon, after a lot of thought, I've come to the conclusion that love stinks.
>> Simon: And you are going to have to do a lot better than that to make me just walk away from you.


Scene 6:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Happy Feet Dance Studio

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, SAGE SNYDER

>> Carly: This would all be great, if we were kids and we could do anything for love. But we're not kids, Simon. And I can't act like one, because I have them.
>> Simon: And I would never do anything to hurt them.
>> Carly: Not intentionally. But you and me, we make a lot of unintentional mistakes. We cause a lot of unintentional pain.
>> Sage: Can Simon come get a treat with us?
>> Carly: No, sweetheart, he can't. Don't make me say good-bye in front of her.
>> Simon: You hide behind them, Carly. They want to see you happy, too.
>> Sage:Ok. That's so sad. Maybe we should ask him to come to dinner.
>> Carly: No, honey. We're not going to be seeing Simon so much anymore.
>> Sage: Why not?
>> Carly: You'll understand someday. So, about that snack. What shall it be? Ice cream, sushi? Ice cream and sushi mixed up together?


Scene 7:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Terrace Hotel Lobby

KIM HUGHES, BOB HUGHES, KATIE KASNOFF

>> Kim: Somebody in maintenance found this in the disposal bin?
>> Bob: Yeah, why would anybody throw this away, especially at a hospital.
>> Kim: Oh, oh, oh, now, we don't have an extradition treaty with Brazil, do we?
>> Bob: This does not belong to us.
>> Kim: Hey, finders keepers. Think about it. Rio. Rio by the sea-o oh, honey, think about us -- you and me, on the beach, pina coladas --
>> Bob: Mm-hmm, being taken away by the police. No, this is going into the safe, where it will be safe.
>> Kim: Mm-hmm.
>> Bob: And we will be safe from temptation.
>> Kim: Yes, dear. But, do me a favor before you take it away and break my heart. Just hold it up to the light.
