[ Simon playing guitar. ]
[ Katie watching, crying. ]
[ Simon turns around, sees Katie. ]
[ Katie heads for the bar. ]
>> Bartender: Good evening, Mrs. Kasnoff.
>> Katie: Oh, you remembered.
>> Bartender: Well, we like newlyweds around here.
>> Katie: Great. Can I get a bottle of champagne?
>> Bartender: Something expensive or -- not so much?
>> Katie: I don't know --
[ Secretly, Simon holds up money. ]
>> Bartender: I'll get something -- on the house.
>> Katie: Okay, thank you.
>> Simon: Celebrating?
>> Katie: Yes, Mike and I are celebrating our wonderful future together that you will not be able to touch ever again, no matter how hard you try.
>> Simon: Good. You know, I don't want to disrupt your life.
>> Katie: I've heard that one before. Thank you, again.
>> Simon: Just -- did you like that song I was playing?
>> Katie: I like music, sure.
>> Simon: Do you remember it? I mean, I -- I sometimes used to play it for you.
>> Katie: Did you?
>> Simon: Yeah. And I always think of you when I play it, and I guess I always will.
>> Katie: Fascinating. Bye.
>> Simon: Are you that afraid to talk to me, Katie?
>> Katie: There's not one thing I'm interested in hearing you say, Simon.
>> Simon: Not even that I'm sorry?
>> Katie: Don't say that word.


Scene 2: Location: Cruise Ship
Scene: Bar

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE KASNOFF

>> Simon: I am so sorry. I mean it.
>> Katie: No, you don't.
>> Simon: I do.
>> Katie: You say you're sorry, but then you come back and you do more damage, and more damage. And it gets really old
. >> Simon: I'm sorry --
>> Katie: See, you keep saying it, but it's completely bogus. First you track me down on this cruise --
>> Simon: No, I didn't.
>> Katie: Really? Then how did you and Vienna just end up across the hall from us?
>> Simon: I don't know -- fate, coincidence?
>> Katie: Okay. Then you end up in my room, pretending you're a masseur so that you can get me alone -- I don't know.
>> Simon: All right, that was just fiendishly clever.
>> Katie: And then you kiss me when I kick you out.
>> Simon: Wrong, I know, but I couldn't resist!
>> Katie: And you promised -- you promised to stay away from Mike and me. And not 20 minutes later, here you are.
>> Simon: I got hungry.
>> Katie: You know, you say you're sorry, you do all this apologizing, but then you just make these excuses. What's the point? Don't even bother!
>> Simon: All right, listen. Listen to me. I do mean it, all right? I am sorry. Now, I never meant for you and Mike to almost get killed, okay? That whole scheme with Pilar -- the woman was insane! Now, I never intended for it to go so horribly wrong, but it did. All right? And I will never forgive myself for that.
>> Katie: Well, you shouldn't. And you shouldn't have come back.
>> Simon: And let you think I was dead?
>> Katie: Why not?
>> Simon: You see, I tried to live without you, Katie. I did. I just couldn't.
>> Katie: Well, you got over that.
>> Simon: Did I?
>> Katie: Simon, I'm married now -- happily married. And I'm going to stay that way. I mean it.
>> Simon: All right, good. No, honestly, I am really happy for you, I am. And who knows? You know what? Maybe Vienna and I can make a go of this, too.
>> Katie: No, you cannot actually have a serious relationship with someone like Vienna.
>> Simon: Oh, come on, she is an amazing person.
>> Katie: She's completely shallow.
>> Simon: I find that charming.
>> Katie: She's vain.
>> Simon: Who isn't?
>> Katie: No, Simon, if you're going to spend the rest of your life with someone, if you're going to marry someone, you deserve better.
>> Simon: Like?
>> Katie: Like somebody who listens to you, and understands you, and actually cares more about you than they do about themselves. Someone who would die for you.
>> Simon: Go on.
>> Katie: You think I don't know what you're doing? You're trying to get to me, and it's not going to work.
>> Simon: No, it's not that. I just -- I just really like your description, Katie, that's all. You see, I had a wife like that once.
>> Katie: And I'm someone else's wife now. And I love him. Now, you can believe that or you can live in denial, but we are not going to talk about this -- or anything else -- ever again.


Scene 3: Location: Cruise Ship
Scene: Kasnoff's Cabin

KATIE KASNOFF, MIKE KASNOFF

>> Katie: Simon said that being on this cruise was just a coincidence.
>> Mike: When did he say that?
>> Katie: I don't know. Sometime. Anyway, if that's true, then he's only here for one reason -- to separate that obnoxious Vienna from her diamonds.
>> Mike: I'm glad that mystery is solved. Now it's on to more important things.
>> Katie: Wait, Mike, how can you be so blase about this?
>> Mike: Because I'm busy.
>> Katie: But we have to warn Vienna!
>> Mike: You don't even like that woman.
>> Katie: Well, I also can't stand by and watch her get taken advantage of. It's bad karma. We have to find her.
>> Mike: Oh, no, no, no. Hey, it's not gonna do any good. She's not gonna listen to us. That girl's completely snowed.
>> Katie: Well, then we have to make her listen to us. 'Cause if we don't try, then we're just as bad as he is.
>> Mike: Okay, we'll do it. Tomorrow
>> Katie: Okay. Tomorrow.
>> Katie: It's kind of sad, isn't it?
>> Mike: What?
>> Katie: Simon hasn't changed, and he never will. It's like he has this evil talent. He can be so convincing and sincere that even I believe him some times.
>> Mike: Did something happen when you went to get that champagne?
>> Katie: No. All right, I did run into Simon -- accidentally.
>> Mike: How did I know that? Did he come on to you?
>> Katie: He apologized for the whole Pilar thing.
>> Mike: And?
>> Katie: And I told him off and made it clear that I never wanted to speak to him again.
>> Mike: Good, good. I know just how to make that happen.
>> Mike: Pack.
>> Katie: Wha -- why?
>> Mike: 'Cause we're getting off this boat tomorrow.
>> Katie: In the middle of the cruise?
>> Mike: How do you want to spend the rest of our honeymoon? With Simon or without him?
>> Katie: Without him. But, honey, don't worry, I already took care of that. We're not gonna talk again.
>> Mike: But he's bunking across the hall. We're gonna run into him at dinner, the buffet, the pool --
>> Katie: You don't trust me?
>> Mike: You I trust completely. It's Simon that I don't trust. He is going to cause trouble for us, but he can't do that if we're not here. >> Katie: How are we going to warn Vienna?
>> Mike: We'll tell the authorities. Maybe she'll listen to them. Okay. But we are getting off this ship first thing in the morning.
>> Katie: And where are we gonna stay? We don't have reservations anywhere.
>> Mike: Well, that's true. I don't want you staying in some nasty hotel either.
>> Katie: It's okay.
>> Mike: No, it's not.
>> Katie: Yes, it is. I love you, Mike. Any place will be great, as long as I'm with you.


Scene 4: Location: Cruise Ship
Scene: Bar

SIMON FRASIER, VIENNA HYATT

>> Vienna: I could just listen to you play all night long.
>> Simon: Well, your wish is my command.
>> Vienna: No. You can practice right here.
>> Simon: What, here?
>> Vienna: Mm-hmm. Mmm -- you do have a way with your hands. Simon? Where did you go?
>> Simon: I was just thinking about a part of my life I think I've neglected for a while.
>> Vienna: Like what?
>> Simon: Love.
>> Vienna: Are you saying that --
>> Simon: Oh, no, I'm just saying, I just think I need to take this slowly. I'm a little bit rusty. But I figure, if I put my mind to it, I can really get back on top of my game.
