Scene 1:
Location: Burt's garage

SIMON FRAISER AND MRS. KATIE FRAISER

> >> Simon: Lily.
> >> Katie: Simon?
> >> Simon: Yeah?
> >> Katie: Hey, you got a second?
> >> Simon: Yeah, what is it, Katie? I'm kind of busy.
> >> Katie: Um -- I guess I just wanted to say I know I haven't been the easiest person to live with lately. But ever since Halliwell threatened to put me in jail --
> >> Simon: Look, I've told you, Katie, that's not gonna happen. You have risked so much to help me stay in the country, and I'm not gonna forget that, okay?
> >> Katie: Okay.
> >> Simon: Is there anything else?
> >> Katie: Yeah. It's just that you've been so incredibly patient and sweet to me, I guess I just kind of wanted to make it up to you.

Scene 2:
Location: Burt's garage

SIMON FRAISER AND MRS. KATIE FRAISER

> >> Simon: We have been through this before. We are not ever going to have a repeat performance of that night.
> >> Katie: Is that what you think? You think that I was coming on to you? No, Simon, that's not what I was doing.
> >> Simon: Okay, then, I'm sorry. It's just something about the way you said "Make it up to you."
> >> Katie: Look, I know I've come on to you before.
> >> Simon: Yeah.
> >> Katie: But that's not gonna happen anymore, okay? In fact, I'm very upset with myself about how I've been acting the past couple weeks. You know, if we're gonna live together for the next couple years to convince the I.N.S. that this marriage is real, I think we need to be friends.
> >> Simon: Friends, right.
> >> Katie: No, no. I know I've said that before, but, this time, I really mean it. I mean, we've been looking at the next two years like they're some kind of jail sentence, but, I don't know, I think that, if we genuinely like and respect each other, and if we're open and honest, I think the next couple years could just fly by.
> >> Simon: Well, I don't know about flying by, but it could certainly be a lot more pleasant.
> >> Katie: I have something for you. I know your life hasn't exactly been very full lately, I mean, working in the garage and trying to support me, so -- just accept this, please, as a "Thank You."
[Simon opens to present and pulls out a guitar]
> >> Simon: Wow. Katie -- wow. You shouldn't have.
> >> Katie: I just know that you've been really sad lately, and I thought it > might make you a little happier.
> >> Simon: How did you afford it?
> >> Katie: Well, it's second-hand. It was a pretty good deal, though. It's in great condition. It has a nice, warm sound.
> >> Simon: Thank you. Thank you. I -- I don't know what to say.
> >> Katie: Well, don't say anything. Just play it for me.
> >> Simon: Play it? All right. Well, I'm a little rusty.

Scene 3:
Location: Burt's Garage

SIMON FRASIER AND MRS KATIE FRASIER

[Simon ends a song on the guitar]
> >> Katie: Oh, that was so beautiful. Music really is a big part of you, isn't it?
> >> Simon: Yeah, I guess so. You know, I normally take a guitar with me when I'm traveling. This is the first time I haven't. Some people write in a journal. I normally used to write a song.
> >> Katie: You know, I knew that about you when I heard you play that night at Java Underground. I mean, there were millions of people there, and it was just you and your music. That happens with my mom, too. When she starts singing, it's like the world just falls away.
> >> Simon: I hadn't realized, actually, how much I'd missed playing. This is an incredible gift. Thank you so much.
> >> Katie: You're welcome so much. I think the next two years could be really exciting, you know? I mean, I told you, my mom's in the music business, so she knows tons of people in the industry. She's mad at me right now, which, knowing her, won't last for very long, I hope. But you're meant for bigger and better than this, you know? I'd love to be the one to help you.
> >> Simon: Well, that's probably the best offer I've had in a very long time.
> >> Katie: Will you play some more for me?
> >> Simon: Sure.
[Lily slams the door]

Scene 4:
Location: Burt's Garage

SIMON FRASIER, MRS KATIE FRASIER, AND LILY SNYDER

> >> Simon: Lily, you okay?
> >> Lily: I'm fine. I just needed to see you.
> >> Katie: What if the I.N.S. followed you here? If Agent Halliwell is out > there right now --
> >> Lily: He's not.
> >> Katie: How can you be so sure? That guy is just salivating at the chance to prove that this marriage isn't real.
> >> Lily: Because Rose is entertaining Agent Halliwell, even as we speak.
> >> Simon: No. Rose is playing you? That's brilliant.
> >> Lily: I know, but it's risky. But I had to take my chances, because it was the only way I could spend time with you.
> >> Simon: This is too good to be true.
> >> Lily: Yeah. We don't have much time, so can we go somewhere and talk?
> >> Simon: Sure, of course.
> >> Katie: I hate to rain on your parade, but what if Rose screws this up?
> >> Lily: Rose is frighteningly convincing in pretending to be me. I didn't realize how convincing until today.
> >> Simon: She'll stall Halliwell all right. Let's go.
> >> Lily: Okay.
> >> Simon: See you later, Katie.
[Door closes.]

MRS KATIE FRASIER ALONE
> >> Katie: Who does she think she is? She can't just walk in here and take over anytime she wants. No, this is not happening. Okay, think, think, think, think! I need to do something. I need someone to help me, someone that knows how to -- yeah, no, no, yeah. [Dials a number on the phone] Yes, hi, Ineed the number for Henry Coleman. Yes, Coleman.

Scene 5:
Location: Milltown
Scene: The Old Mill

LILY SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER

> >> Lily: Whew. I know it's only been since New Year's, but it feels so long ago.
> >> Simon: I just want to hold you and never let you go.
> >> Lily: I know, I know. Then don't let me go. We're alone. We're alone. No
Katie, no government spies.
> >> Simon: It doesn't seem possible, but I love you more every day. I think about nothing else but you.
> >> Lily: Me, too.
> >> Simon: You have to be as crazy as me, otherwise you would have never left Rose in your place.
> >> Lily: I'm crazy in love with you, that's why. And I've made a really big decision. I have to be with you, not for stolen moments here and there, but forever. I just can't go on. God help me, I cannot go on like this anymore.
> >> Simon: You're serious? Do you know what you're saying?
> >> Lily: Yes, I do. I will do anything, anything I have to to be with you, even if it means giving up things that I've known and loved.
> >> Simon: Oh, Lily.
[Simon kisses Lily]
