Scene 1:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel
Scene: Hotel Lounge
KATIE FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN
>> Henry: You're abandoning me? After everything we've meant to each other?
>> Katie: I'm sorry, Henry. You know that I would love to be your partner --
>> Henry: Listen, we could buy the bunnies a brand new hutch.
>> Katie: If we won.
>> Henry: "If" we won? What are you talking about? With your tricky little brain and my gift for the devious. We're naturals.
>> Katie: It's just -- normally, I'd love to. But Simon's just --
>> Henry: Oh, Simon! I hate this. I hate this. Okay, just once. Please, just once let "best friend" trump "runaway husband." Come on.
>> Katie: But -- do you know -- it's just -- he just got back. And I have to devote myself to him.
>> Henry: Why? Are you trying to prove something?
>> Katie: What do you mean?
>> Henry: Katie, if you were 1000% sure that Simon was the man of your dreams, you wouldn't think twice about spending an afternoon or two or three with me.
>> Katie: He's my husband and I love him.
>> Henry: And Mike?
>> Katie: I thought this was about you.
>> Henry: This is about Simon and why you suddenly feel the need to devote yourself to him.
>> Katie: Because -- because I want my marriage to work.
>> Henry: And it'll stop working if you don't devote yourself for a minute and a half and let your mind wander?
>> Katie: I don't want my mind to wander --
>> Henry: Because it'll wander over to Mike.
>> Katie: Henry --
>> Henry: You love him.
>> Katie: And he betrayed me. He sided with Pilar. And you and I ended up in that horrible mental hospital. And Simon rescued me. Okay, he's my husband and we were very happy with -- before he left --
>> Henry: Twice.
>> Katie: What is with you? I thought you liked Simon.
>> Henry: I do like him. But if you're not happy --
>> Katie: I am. Or I will be. If I work at it. And I will. Because Simon is worth the effort. I trust him, Henry. I know he wouldn't betray me.
Scene 2:

Scene: Courtyard by the Old Library
SIMON FRASIER, PILAR DOMINGO, RUSS
[ Russ clears his throat ]
>> Pilar: It's about time you showed up.

>> Pilar: I don't think so.
Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Courtyard by the Old Library
SIMON FRASIER, PILAR DOMINGO, RUSS
>> Pilar: I'm not going anywhere till you pay me what you owe me. I'm the one that broke up Mike and Katie. Just like you asked.
>> Simon: Don't push it, Pilar.
>> Pilar: And a bonus. Don't be so cranky. You've got to admit, it's been a little touch and go with you these past few weeks.
>> Simon: I didn't like your methods.
>> Pilar: Oh, well, then you should have shown up when you said you would, instead of leaving me hanging all those weeks. Besides, what're you complaining about? Katie's free. Mike's out of the picture. You got what you wanted.
>> Simon: So did you.
>> Pilar: You were very generous. I like that in a man.
>> Simon: We're done.
>> Pilar: Oh, too bad. We were so good together.
>> Russ: Well, you came through.
>> Pilar: I always do.
>> Russ: Oh, st. Croix, here I come.
>> Pilar: Enjoy yourself. You earned it.
>> Russ: Yeah. Well, what about you? If you're going back to Spain, you should do a little stopover on the Riviera first. It's high season, but hey, you can afford it, right?
>> Pilar: Yeah. I suppose I can.
>> Russ: Yeah, well, don't just stand there, get yourself a plane ticket. You must be dying to get out of this pit.
Scene 4:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room
SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER
>> Simon: Katie? Where are you, sweetheart? Katie.
>> Katie: Hey! Where were you? I got home and you weren't here. I just thought -- well, forget what I thought. Where were you?
>> Simon: I just had some stuff to do.
>> Katie: Oh. I was hoping you didn't do it.
>> Simon: Do what?
>> Katie: Let Henry or somebody else talk you into joining that stupid contest.
>> Simon: What contest?
>> Katie: So you didn't sign up?
>> Simon: No. I don't know what you're talking about. Okay, good.
>> Katie: Because I think we should just focus on us right now, you know? Getting things back to the way they were before. Well, not that they're ever gonna be the same again, but -- better, right? We can work on making them better.
>> Simon: Exactly. Better than ever. Listen, you know everything I've done is because I love you, right?
>> Katie: And you were trying to keep me safe.
>> Simon: Exactly. Exactly. And now we're good.
>> Katie: Good.
Scene 5:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room
SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER
>> Simon: I still can't tell these guys apart.
>> Katie: Okay. This is Snickers -- small ears, boy. And this is Faux.
>> Simon: Mike's rabbit.
>> Katie: Mike found her. She's mine.
>> Simon: Listen -- look, you had a relationship with the guy. Okay? And if you want to talk about it, I'm cool with it.
>> Katie: I don't think we have to go there.
>> Simon: Why not? I'm not angry about it, okay? I was gone. What were you supposed to do? I'm not going to obsess over anything that happened. I mean, we're back together, right?
>> Katie: Yeah.
>> Simon: Okay, so if you do want to talk about it, it doesn't bother me.
>> Katie: All right. Well, I guess you should know that I loved him. I mean, he'll always have a place in my heart. He's still Mike. But he didn't believe in me. He let me down. And then you came back into town and we're still married and we still love each other. I think we should just focus on our future.
>> Simon: So if Pilar didn't come back to town --
>> Katie: Oh, please -- let's not talk about Pilar. It was ugly. And what's the point, anyway? She did. And then you came back. And what are we gonna do with the rest of our lives?
>> Simon: Whoa! You want to decide all that now?
>> Katie: Why not? I mean, you're gonna have to get a job. I've been working at the hospital, but that could definitely change. We could live in Oakdale? We could -- go to Australia. We could go anywhere.
>> Simon: Okay. I know where we're gonna go right now. How about a bubble bath? And we can take everything form there.
>> Katie: Sounds good. I knew we'd figure it out.
>> Simon: Yeah.
Scene 6:
Location: Frasier Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER
>> Simon: Ooh. What? There's a rabbit chewing at my ankle.
>> Katie: Snickers, you bad boy. Why is he doing that?
>> Simon: Oh, you little monster.
>> Katie: He's never like that. You are going in your cage till you behave.
>> Simon: All right. How about that bubble bath?
>> Katie: Coming right up.
[ Doorbell rings ] Oh, if that's Henry, do not let him talk you into that contest.
>> Simon: I'll give him a few bucks and send him off to the movies.
>> Pilar: I'm back.
Scene 7:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room
SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, PILAR DOMINGO
>> Simon: What do you want?
>> Pilar: Well, I thought we could chat --
>> Simon: I'm not giving you another cent.
>> Pilar: This isn't about money.
>> Simon: Okay, then. Then what? We have got nothing else to discuss.
>> Katie: Hey, babe? Who was it?
>> Pilar: Do you want to tell her? Or should I?
