I going to explain everything -- I going to explain everything to you as soon as you calm down, okay? All right? Now, I'm gonna take my hand off your mouth and you're gonna sit there and you're going to be nice and quiet, just -- just like Snickers. All right? Now, you gonna be quiet? Okay.

SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN
>> Simon: In with the good -- [ Simon inhaling ] Out with the bad. That's it -- breathe in with the good. Now if you scream again, I'm gonna hit you, Henry, and I don't want to do that, okay?
>> Henry: Simon?
>> Simon: Yes, Henry? Ah, there we go.[ Henry hugs Simon ] That's -- that's sweet, Henry. That's -- that's enough. Henry. Henry?
>> Henry: Huh?
>> Simon: Henry, that's enough. It's good to see you, too.
>> Henry: You're alive.
>> Simon: Yeah, yeah, for now.
>> Henry: Katie -- Katie and Mike were there -- they -- no, wait a second, they saw the warehouse explode -- the cops have your dna!
>> Simon: I needed certain people to think I was gone, Henry.
>> Henry: "You needed --" do you have any idea what you've put her through, huh? She had to be hospitalized because of you.
>> Simon: All right, I know. Okay, okay. Is she okay?
>> Henry: "Is she okay?" What do you care if she's okay or not? Huh? Yeah, she's fine now that she's finally accepted you're finally gone. Simon, for months -- for months! Do you know how bad she wants --
>> Simon: Listen. All right? I had no choice. Okay? When she came looking for me in Australia, Bartleby's brother grabbed her. Faking my death was the only way to keep her safe.
>> Henry: That was months ago -- months ago!
>> Simon: Yeah, well, it took me longer to get out of Australia than I planned.
>> Henry: Right.
>> Simon: All right? Listen, man, I needed new papers -- a new identity.
>> Henry: Oh, yeah, a new beard? Or this a fake one, hmm?
>> Simon: Listen, don't touch what you can't grow.
>> Henry: Some of us don't have to.
>> Simon: Look, the point is, it me longer to get out than I thought. Look, I had to come in by way of Canada. I got spotted in Toronto, and I hitched my way all the way to the states. I walked from Chicago. I am exhausted! But I would do it again. I would do absolutely anything just to get the chance to love her again.
Scene 3:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Bedroom
SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN
>> Simon: I tried calling earlier but a man answered the phone. So I hung up. Do you know who that was, Henry?
>> Henry: The man?
>> Simon: Yeah.
>> Henry: Ah, that was me. I live here, I'm a man.
>> Simon: Oh, you're a man now? Well, that's something else that's changed. It wasn't you, Henry.
>> Henry: Well, how do you know? Did you talk to me on the phone? No, you hung up.
>> Simon: Yeah, just as well, you would've screamed in my ear. Anyway, what was I going to say? "Hey, it's Simon back from the dead?" Katie would've reacted just the way you did.
>> Henry: What I don't understand --
>> Simon: You are going to understand every thing, Henry. I'm going to explain everything, I promise I will. I just need to find Katie. Just -- do you know where she is?
>> Henry: Do I know where Katie is?
>> Simon: Yeah, it's not a difficult question, Henry. Unless there's something wrong.
>> Henry: No, no. Everything's fine, everything's peachy. No, everything's good.
>> Simon: What aren't you telling me, Henry? And why?
Scene 4:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Bedroom
SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN
>> Simon: You know something, Henry?
>> Henry: Huh, that's the first time you ever accused me of that.
>> Simon: Out with it, Henry! Where is she?
>> Henry: I don't know, I don't know! At work? At Margo's? The honeymoon suite at the Lakeview?
>> Simon: All right, I'm sorry. You're right, you're right. She's probably just -- she's probably at work.
>> Henry: Right. Work. Yeah. You know, she's a nurse's aide at the hospital, did you know that?
>> Simon: How is she?
>> Henry: Better.
>> Simon: Is she happy?
>> Henry: Yeah, I'd say so.
>> Simon: That's good.
>> Henry: Yeah.
>> Simon: That's good. Anyway, I can't go to see her at the hospital, because, you know, I got to keep a low profile. What am I going to do? Just turn up and spring this on her. I can't do that, can I?
>> Henry: No.
>> Simon: I guess I'm just gonna sit here. I'm gonna wait here. I'm gonna wait for her to get back from work.
>> Henry: That's a great idea. Good. And I'll just make myself scarce. Or not. Listen, you know, don't you want some privacy here when she comes home from work? Two's company, three's a crowd?
>> Simon: No one can know that I'm back here,Henry. No one can know that I'm alive. You got that?
>> Henry: I've got you covered.
>> Simon: Because if anyone knows I'm here, my life is worthless. And Katie -- she's not much safer than I
>> Henry: Mum's the word.
>> Simon: Good. Good man. It's so good to see you. I always knew I could count on you, Henry. Thank you.

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER
>> Katie: Hey bunnies. You miss me? I put a bubble bath on hold to come feed you. Now that is love, right? This has been the most wonderful night.
>> Simon: Katie?
>> Katie: Grab a toothbrush and some other things. I'll leave a note for Uncle Henry to feed you in the morning 'cause I'm not going to be here.
