SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, PILAR DOMINGO

[ Pilar waiting in hallway ]
>> Simon: Decorations are up. Food is out. You ready?
>> Katie: Oh, I don't know. This all happened so fast. It still feels like a dream.
>> Simon: Yes, it is. You and I planning to start a whole new life down under.
>> Katie: Saying good-bye to my family, our friends --
>> Simon: I know it's gonna be tough. But you'll get to meet my friends. We'll start our own family. When we're ready -- I'm not rushing you. We don't have to do it right now.
>> Katie: I know. I know. I'm just nervous leaving everything that I know.
>> Simon: Sweetheart, you don't have to be nervous. Baby, it's just going to be you and me in the greatest country on earth.
>> Katie: Right. Well, just keep telling me how wonderful it's going to be. Just keep telling me until we get on that plane tomorrow.
>> Simon: It's without a doubt going to be the greatest adventure you and I have ever had. We'll have the life we've always wanted.
>> Katie: Will you help me put on my necklace? The guests are going to be here any minute.
>> Simon: Absolutely.
[ Pilar, with a knife, moves into bedroom ]

Scene 2:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Bedroom

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN, PILAR DOMINGO

[ Pilar quickly leaves the bedroom and waits in the hallway as Henry comes upstairs ]
>> Henry: Katie!
>> Simon! The man who came to breakfast, lunch and dinner is home.
>> Katie: We're upstairs in the bedroom. Come on up.
>> Henry: Hey, hey, hey, sorry. Hey, you know, I've been thinking about you and your trip to Australia, and I realize that there's an up side to it.
>> Katie: Really?
>> Henry: Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, let's just think about it -- how many years have I just been a grain of sand underneath the eyelid of your relationship?
>> Simon: Oh, uh, how many years has it been? One --
>> Henry: Right. Absolutely. Okay, she understands. The point I'm trying to make is, you know what, I need my own life, my own relationships. With you and Simon here, I'm never going to get off the ground. So I plan on looking at this departure as an opportunity. You know, one that I wish had happened much sooner.
>> Katie: You're miserable, aren't you?
>> Henry: How'd you guess? I'm all right. I'm all right.
>> Katie: No, no, no. Listen, we're not going that far. Well, it's far. But listen, as soon as we get settled in, you can come visit us.
>> Simon: Absolutely. With a round-trip ticket. I'm going to go wait for the guests.
>> Katie: Come here. I want you to do something for me.
>> Henry: Name it. Anything.
>> Katie: Find a girl, fall in love and show her the heart you've shown me.
>> Henry: Okay. I'll get on that first thing in the morning. As for you, doctor, why don't take the rest of the afternoon off.
>> Katie: Henry, I'm serious. You are an incredible person, and you deserve to be loved.
>> Henry: Thanks. Thanks. I'll do my best to make that happen, okay? In the meantime, I don't want you to worry about me.
>> Katie: Oh, well, that's not going to happen. I'm going to worry about you and Margo and my niece and my nephews and a hundred other people, all the way down to Craig, even.
>> Henry: What about Mike?
>> Katie: I couldn't forget about Mike. He doesn't need me to worry about him anymore. So -- anyway, I want you to promise me that you will take Snickers over to Nancy'S.
>> Henry: It's on my agenda.
>> Katie: And if Faux comes back, you'll take her over there, too?
>> Henry: Where is the little heartbreaker? I noticed that her part of the cage is still empty.
>> Katie: Well, Simon seems to think that she's out in the woods. But who knows? Maybe she'll come back.
>> Henry: I will, uh, I'll leave some pellets on that stump by the garden.
>> Katie: Okay. Thanks. We should go downstairs.
>> Henry: How do I look?
>> Katie: Like the best friend I ever had. Okay. You -- I'm coming back to feed you one last time, my sweet.
[ Katie and Henry leave ]
[ Pilar enters bedroom and picks up Snickers ]
>> Pilar: Enjoy your meal, little friend. It won't just be the last time Katie feeds you. It'll be the last time Katie does anything.

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MARGO HUGHES, TOM HUGHES, NANCY HUGHES

>> Simon: Welcome.
>> Margo: Hello --
>> Simon: Come on in.
>> Margo: Hi, darling. How are you?
>> Nancy: We're going to miss you, cutie.
>> Katie: Same here.
>> Margo: Katie, we are going to miss you. Tom?
>> Tom: I'm going to grab something to eat.
>> Margo: Hey, how ya doing? Oh, god, baby, I know this is hard. But you and Simon, you're going to be really happy in Australia.
>> Katie: You know how I used to always get into trouble, you know, and do stupid things without thinking them through?
>> Margo: Yeah, yeah. I remember every single one of them. Some I wrote down.
>> Katie: I never would've done them if it weren't for you.
>> Margo: Can you explain that better?
>> Katie: Absolutely. I just -- I always knew in my heart that you would never let anything really, really bad happen. You know, you would always bail me out. And I'm really gonna miss that feeling inside. I'm gonna miss you so much.
>> Margo: I'm gonna miss you, too, Katie. But listen to me, you and I, we don't have to be near each other to be close. 'Cause we're always going to be a part of each other, right? I mean, I've got your liver. But you've got my heart.
>> Katie: Fun party, huh?
>> Margo: Yahoo!
>> Katie: I'm gonna go pull myself together.

Scene 4:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, NANCY HUGHES, HENRY COLEMAN

>> Nancy: Snickers will be my first rabbit. Is there anything special I should know about it?
>> Simon: No, no. He's pretty low maintenance. But Katie's got a couple of books upstairs. When I get a chance, I'll go get them for you.
>> Nancy: That would be helpful. I don't mind, Simon, telling you that I'm very sad that you're taking Katie away from us.
>> Simon: Look, I know she's gonna miss you, too. I mean, you mean a lot to her. But if it makes you feel any better, I think this whole change is going to be great for her -- for us.
>> Nancy: You mean because of where you found her when you came back here?
>> Simon: Yeah. Well, I'm only sorry I didn't come back sooner. I mean, if someone had called me and told me that Pilar had sent Katie into a mental institution --
>> Nancy: I didn't realize that you had known Pilar before you came back here.
>> Simon: I didn't. No, no, no, I'm just saying, I've heard so much about her since I've been back here, I feel like I know her. But, no, I've never met her.
[ Henry listening, odd look on his face ]

Scene: Living Room, Bedroom

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MARGO HUGHES, PILAR DOMINGO

>> Katie: I look any better?
>> Margo: You look like you haven't got a care in the world.
>> Katie: Oh, I wouldn't go that far. I keep asking myself if I'm doing the right thing. But I made a choice, I know. It just -- wasn't always easy.
>> Margo: Mike? Look, baby, I know the last couple of months have been really hard for you. But you did do the right thing. You stayed loyal to your husband.
>> Simon: Listen, I'm going to grab that book for you, Mrs. Hughes. Don't you go anywhere, young lady.
[ Simon heads upstairs ]
>> Pilar: Yep, this should work perfectly. Well, at least for me.
[ Pilar talking to Snickers ]
>> Simon: Is somebody up here?
[ Pilar hides behind mirror ]
>> Simon: Hello? All right.
>> Pilar: So charming, so handsome. And soon, so dead.

Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, PILAR DOMINGO

>> Simon: It's almost over, big guy. This time tomorrow, and Katie and I are out of here.
>> Henry: You don't have to remind me.
>> Simon: I'm sorry, mate, I didn't want to upset you.
>> Henry: That's not what I'm talking about.
>> Simon: Then, what's up?
>> Henry: I saw you, and I heard you talking to Mrs. Hughes, okay? And I heard the way you talked about Pilar, and it did sound like you knew her. And, Simon, if that's true -- I don't know what to think.
>> Katie: Me, neither.

Scene 7:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

[Henry listening ]
>> Simon: What's with you two? Now, I have no idea who Pilar is, so what are we even talking about this for?
>> Katie: Well, Mrs. Hughes is pretty sharp. Something gave here that idea, I'm sure.
>> Simon: Yeah, well, listen, ever since I've got back into town, I've heard all these horror stories about Pilar. Pilar did this, Pilar did that. So, yeah, I might have sounded a little familiar with her. Why is that so strange?
>> Katie: Oh, you're right. I'm sorry, honey, it's just that every time I hear that woman's name, it drives me up the wall.
>> Simon: Okay, so let's all make a little pact, here. We're never going to mention Pilar again, right?
>> Katie: Fine by me.
>> Simon: Deal? Okay, so let's get back to the business of saying good-bye.
>> Katie: Let's mingle.

Scene 8:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room, Bedroom

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, NANCY HUGHES, PILAR DOMINGO

>> Nancy: Oh, be good to my girl.
>> Simon: You bet I will.
>> Nancy: And you -- be good to yourself.
>> Katie: I'm gonna try.
>> Nancy: Now, is there anything more I need to know before I take Snickers home?
>> Katie: No. I think you're all up to date bunny-wise. That's for you. I promised Snickers that I was going to feed him one last time before we go.
>> Simon: Well, I'm going to come with you.
>> Katie: Well, actually -- I don't want it to sound stupid, but -- do you mind if I go alone?
>> Simon: No, that's fine. Sure. Go for it.
[ Katie goes upstairs to the bedroom ]
>> Katie: Snickers? Are you up? I want to feed you before I go.
>> Pilar: Poor Katie. She's not going to like this.
>> Katie: Snickers, my sweet little angel --
>> Pilar: A lot of people think these animals never make a sound. But they do, you know? Especially when they're terrified. And today we're going to find out what it's like -- to hear a rabbit scream.
[ Katie stands in the doorway and looks at Pilar ]
