Scene 1:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Bedroom

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, PILAR DOMINGO

[Simon dreaming]
>> Katie: I know how my rabbit died.
>> Simon: What --?
>> Katie: She was butchered! By Pilar!
>> Simon: How do you know?
>> Pilar: Because I told her. Sorry, Simon, but you didn't keep your part of the bargain. So what else could I do? I had to tell Katie how you paid me to break up her relationship with mike.
>> Katie: How could you do this to me? I loved you. I was ready to go away with you. Leave my home, and my friends and my family. I would have done anything for you!
>> Simon: What? You would have? Then, let's go. Let's go, just you and me. We'll get a --
[ Simon goes downstairs, looking for Katie ]
>> Katie: Get your hands off me! I hate you!
>> Simon: Katie? Katie? Katie? Katie? Katie? Katie, where are you?

Scene 2:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: Hey, what's going on?
>> Simon: Where were you? Are you all right?
>> Katie: Yeah. I was out looking for Faux.
>> Simon: Here, let me get that --
>> Katie: No, no. I'm all muddy --
>> Simon: I don't care. I was worried.
>> Katie: Why?
>> Simon: Now that we're back together, I just don't want to lose you.
>> Katie: Hey, I'm not going anywhere. But I know how you feel. I was so worried all night about Faux. So, as soon as it was light enough, I went out looking for her. I went down to the pond where Mike found her. But, no luck. I put out some food though. So, I'm gonna go back in a couple of hours, and see if she comes back.
>> Simon: In a couple of hours, we'll be at this party, this going-away party for you. You haven't even started to pack.
>> Katie: I don't know if I want to leave without knowing if she's okay. She's all alone out there, Simon. I know that we found her in the woods, but she belongs here.
>> Simon: Listen, Sweetie, I don't think she's coming back.
>> Katie: Why not? How do you know?

Scene 3:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: How you could you know if Faux Snickers was coming back or not?
>> Simon: She wasn't raised to be a pet, right? You said so yourself. She's from the woods.
>> Katie: Yeah, and it's summer and it's gorgeous out. And maybe she wanted a little vacation. But she loved it here, she did.
>> Simon: I know. I know. I'm sure she did. But isn't it natural that once she got back into the wild where she belongs, that that's where she wants to stay. It's her home --
>> Katie: No, this is her home.
>> Simon: Well, maybe she feels like a foreigner here, and wants to go back to where she belongs. Anyway, it's gonna be easier for Nancy to take care of one rabbit instead of two, right? What?
>> Katie: I just feel like I'm leaving without really making up my mind. It's not that I don't want to be with you or go to Australia. I just -- I mean it's halfway across the world --
>> Simon: Oakdale isn't going to go anywhere, is it? It's gonna stay here forever, right? We can visit.
>> Katie: Yeah, I guess.
>> Simon: Listen, if you don't like it we can come back. Easy as that.
>> Katie: You promise?
>> Simon: Of course I promise. Sweetheart, I just want to make you happy. I just want to have all those things we always dreamed about, we always planned. You know, a family, a baby.
>> Katie: A baby. We haven't talked about that in a while.
>> Simon: Well, I haven't changed my mind. You?
>> Katie: No, no, I still want a family. But we're barely used to being a couple again. I just don't think it's the right time to bring someone else into that mix. >> Simon: I know, me neither. I mean, for the time being, what we really need to concentrate on is building our life back together.
>> Katie: But, and it's not that I don't want that, I do. I just think you should know that I want my family to be a part of that. I want to share it with them. With Margo and Craig, Henry.
>> Simon: Yeah, tell me, in the past few months, have you been happy?
>> Katie: No.
>> Simon: Me neither. Let's go to Australia. Let's make a fresh start. Just leave all these, these bad memories behind.

Scene 4:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: Oh, that looks gorgeous.
>> Simon: Festive, as my mum would say.
>> Katie: You never really talk about your family.
>> Simon: All that'll change as soon as we get home. You know, the more I think about it, the more we've just gotta live by the beach. Okay? The coastline around Sydney is phenomenal. I think that's where we gotta go.
>> Katie: Sounds great. Thank you for throwing this party for me.
>> Simon: Listen. I know I don't always go about things the right way. But it's the end result that counts, right? I mean, we're back together. We're gonna leave all our worries behind. And I know it's a lot to ask after what I've put you through, and I don't deserve you --
>> Katie: Simon, you rescued me from that awful hospital. I will never forget that. Come here.
>> Simon: All right. People are gonna be over in a couple of hours. We've still got lanterns to hang. And you gotta go upstairs and get into that gorgeous outfit. Pronto.
>> Katie: Okay. Simon. I love you.
[ Katie goes upstairs ]
>> Simon: I love you, too. Two more hours and we're home free.
[ Pilar sneaks in front door as Simon exits to another room]
