Scene 1:
Location: Milltown
Scene: The Old Mill

LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRAISER

> >> Simon: Say it again. I need to hear you say it again.
> >> Lily: I have to be with you, not two years from now, not until you get a green card, but now.
> >> Simon: All right. Do you understand -- do you understand what this means?
> >> Lily: Yes, I do.
> >> Simon: And you're really ready, no matter what it takes?
> >> Lily: No matter what it takes. I can't live like this any more, loving you, not being able to be with you. The situation is driving me crazy.
> >> Simon: Then you'll understand my madness, too. Everything is you. Every song on I hear on the radio, it's about you. Every time I see someone say "I love you" on the TV, it's you talking to me. I'm hopeless, and I wouldn't want it any other way. Just tell me -- I need you to tell me you understand how much this is gonna change your life, that there is no going back.
> >> Lily: I don't want to live in the past any more. I want a future. I want a future with you.
> >> Simon: Okay, it's going to get pretty brutal, you know that. When I get deported -- and I don't see any way around that -- you're gonna have to leave the states, too.
> >> Lily: I know. But I'll be with you, and it'll be better than the island because I'll realize how lucky I am. I lie in bed at night and I think about you, and I ache for you and I miss you and I think about you, lying in bed, thinking about me, missing me, and, for a moment, I feel fine, and then I realize there's someone else in the bed next to you. And I cannot go through another night like that.
> >> Simon: All right, you won't have to. I'll end it with Katie, tonight.

Scene 2:
Location: Milltown
Scene: The Old Mill

LILY SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER

> >> Lily: I love you. I love you so much.
> >> Simon: I love you with all my heart. But I have to ask you this. What about Holden? Are you going to ask him for a divorce?
> >> Lily: I just hate those words. I really --
> >> Simon: I know. I know it's difficult to think about, but I just want to > make sure that you're sure about what you're about to do.
> >> Lily: Holden has been so decent through all of this, more than you could possibly know.
> >> Simon: Okay, we can wait. Do you want to wait?
> >> Lily: No, we can't wait. Postponing this is not gonna make it any easier. Whenever I decide to tell Holden, it's going to be hard on him. And now that I know I have to -- I have to be with you, waiting is -- is the wrong thing to do. And Holden, I have to allow him to get on with his life. So, this is what we have to do.
> >> Simon: Okay. And what about the kids?
> >> Lily: My first priority are always the children.
> >> Simon: I know. So, how do we make this situation easier on them?
> >> Lily: Well, if you get deported, you don't have to go back to Australia, right? You could apply for a Canadian Visa.
> >> Simon: Yeah, I'll try. I mean, I'll do whatever it takes.
> >> Lily: Well, good, then you and I can get a place there together. And Windsor's not that far away.
> >> Simon: And what about the house here?
> >> Lily: I'll keep the house here because I want to maintain a normal as possible for my children. I cannot uproot them after everything they've been through so far. So, I figured I could go back and forth at first. I know it's not ideal, but --
> >> Simon: Lily, it's so much more than what we have now, so it is beyond -- it is beyond ideal.
> >> Lily: Right.
> >> Simon: You really have thought about all this, haven't you?
> >> Lily: Oh, night and day, inside and out, believe me. And it breaks my heart thinking of separating the children from Holden, but it broke both of our hearts trying to make it work. It wasn't working. I was thinking about you all the time, and I was a million miles away. I can't believe this. I can't. We're making plans! We're making real plans for a life together.
> >> Simon: I can't believe it, either. This is really happening.
> >> Lily: I know. So, now, we only have one more obstacle.
> >> Simon: Katie.

Scene 3:
Location: Milltown
Scene: The Old Mill

LILY SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER

> >> Lily: Katie knows what she wants, and that's all she knows. I've seen it before. She fixates on something, then she creates a situation to make it a reality. Why did we have to think of that? Couldn't we think of anything else -- anything else other than marrying Katie to stay in the country?!
> >> Simon: Okay, if it's true that Katie feels this way, then it's just as well that I end it with her, and the sooner, the better. But look, I know you don't feel this way, but she's not a bad person, okay? And I don't want to hurt her. So, I'll break the news to her gently, and then let the immigration know that she had nothing to do with this.
> >> Lily: You're one of the good ones. That's why I love you so much.
> >> Simon: Well, we should go 'cause we have a lot to do.
> >> Lily: Okay. I'll wait to hear from you before I talk to Holden.
> >> Simon: Good.
> >> Lily: Simon, this is the right thing, isn't it?
> >> Simon: This is the only thing. So, I'll call you as soon as I've told Katie.

Scene 4:
Location: Burt's Garage

MRS KATIE FRASIER AND SIMON FRASIER

> >> Katie: Hi.
> >> Simon: Look, Katie, I've been driving around, thinking about -- about us. About what this deception has to be doing to you. And I know that you're worried what might happen to you if the I.N.S. Finds out that this marriage is all a sham.
> >> Katie: Yeah, Halliwell was pretty scary the other day at his office.
> >> Simon: I know. I know. And I want you to know that I'm going to look after you, that I won't let you suffer any fallout for being involved in my situation.
> >> Katie: I don't think we need to worry about Halliwell convinced that > we're real.
> >> Simon: Why's that? What's different?
> >> Katie: A lot. I haven't really wanted to face this, but time is running out, and I don't have a lot of choices. I'm going to have your baby, Simon.
