Scene 1:
Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: You're asking me to leave you?
>> Simon: No, Katie, I'm not asking. I'm insisting -- ordering you, if I have to, yes. I think you should go someplace safe.
>> Katie: What's safer than being here with you?
>> Simon: The Lakeview. Go to The Lakeview. Make sure you stay in Craig's part of the suite. There, I think, you'll be safe. You shouldn't be alone.
>> Katie: I wouldn't be alone if I was with you. You're my husband.
>> Simon: The husband that you've been running away from the last few days. See, I come in here to find you, what? Rummaging amongst my stuff, trying to find evidence?!
>> Katie: Evidence of your innocence.
>> Simon: What? To prove to Henry?
>> Katie: And to myself. I want to believe you, Simon. I need to believe that you did not hurt Dahlia or Monique or Jill or --
>> Simon: -- Or you?
>> Katie: I didn't say that.
>> Simon: You didn't have to.
>> Katie: I'm sorry, Simon. I know how I must sound.
>> Simon: That's why you to go to The Lakeview. I know things are really confusing right now. It's what Dahlia wants. She wants -- she wants you to look at me and not know who I am. I swear to god, if anything happened to you, she might as well put a knife straight through my heart.
>> Kate: Simon, when you say stuff like that, of course, all my doubts just fly away. I know you love me and you care about me more than anyone in the world -- which is why you and I need to stay close because I need to not forget that.
>> Simon: Being close -- being close is what Dahlia wants. She wants to up as a moving target. She wants to set me up as the fall guy. God, think about it, Katie! Think. If you get hurt, or worse, who's the first person the cops are gonna come after?
>> Katie: You.
>> Simon: You're afraid to be separated? Huh? Think how separated we're gonna be when I'm hauled off for life in prison and you're taken off to a hospital.
>> Katie: Honey, please --
>> Simon: It's not gonna happen, Katie! It's not gonna happen to you or to me. Now, until I can prove that I have nothing to do with this Dahlia madness, I am the most dangerous person for you to be around right now.

Scene 2:
Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Simon: Oh, that is -- that's great. That's just perfect.
>> Katie: Don't --
>> Simon: Katie, that's great.
>> Katie: Henry was just trying to protect me, all right? He's not the problem.
>> Simon: He's not the solution, either. That guy -- he's a chicken-hearted opportunist --
>> Katie: I can handle Henry. I can handle myself. Just don't worry about me, all right?
>> Simon: How is that possible, when I love you the way I do? When you ran off, I nearly went mad.
>> Katie: All right, you keep saying that you're worried about my safety. What about you? Margo's gonna question you sooner or later. What are you gonna do then? Are you gonna lie to her, too?
>> Simon: That's not gonna be easy because I think she knows me too well.
>> Katie: So tell the truth.
>> Simon: The truth is, I don't have the answers! I was not exaggerating to you about going off to jail.
>> Katie: Yeah, well, Margo doesn't have proof. She just has circumstantial evidence and some suspicion.
>> Simon: And people have been convicted on a lot less. Why are you insisting on putting us both into danger? Why?!
>> Katie: Oh, great! Now it's my fault!
>> Simon: Oh, come on. That is not what I said!
>> Katie: Excuse me for loving you so much that I care about you.
>> Simon: All right, you love me? You love me so much, you do? Then let me drive you to The Lakeview right now, where you'll be safe.
>> Katie: No. You're not driving me anywhere. I don't wanna make us -- what did you call it? -- "Moving targets."
>> Simon: Look --
>> Katie: "Believe in me, Katie. Go, Katie. Where've you been, Katie? Get the hell out of here, Katie!" Make up your mind!
>> Simon: All right, you know what I want? You know what I want right now? I've made up my mind. I know what I want. I wanna drive you to The Lakeview where you're gonna be safe!
>> Katie: Hell, no! So I can just end up in the bottom of some lake? Henry will drive me. Henry!
>> Simon: I'm not gonna take anymore --
>> Katie: No!
>> Simon: I'm not taking anymore chances. All right? I'm gonna drive you now.
>> Katie: No. And I'm not gonna take anymore chances, either, because I already did by marrying you. Thought it might be worth the risk, but I guess I was wrong. Henry? Henry!

SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN

>> Henry: Ah!
>> Simon: Henry.
>> Henry: Hey -- how's it going, Simon?
>> Simon: Is Katie in the suite?
>> Henry: Yes, she is. She's snug as a bug in a rug. Why don't you knock on the door? Why don't you see for yourself? You kids have fun. I gotta get goin' now, okay.
>> Simon: Wait a second. You know what it's like to be on the edge, Henry?
>> Henry: I don't -- I don't know what you're asking.
>> Simon: Just look --
>> Henry: Okay!
>> Simon: -- Into my eyes, Henry. Tell me what you see.

SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN

>> Simon: What did you and Katie talk about on the way over here?
>> Henry: Nothing much. Simon, we talked about tax shelters and some stock tips and -- my arm, okay, I need that one.
>> Simon: No more games, Henry, all right? No more whispering doubts about me into Katie's ear.
>> Henry: She is the one that asked me for help! Remember? I'm just coming over for a friendly chat.
>> Simon: All right. The next time that Katie asks for a friendly chat, then you're getting your legs waxed. You got it? You are unavailable.
>> Henry: Fine. What are you gonna do? You just gonna leave her locked up?
>> Simon: Yeah, with no one around to feed little fantasies into Katie's ear, then she'll be safe here. All right? You got it?
>> Henry: Yes, I got it. Fine.
>> Simon: You understand?
>> Henry: Arm! All right, my arms. My fingers are starting to tingle, and it's not from the nearness of you.
