SIMON FRASIER AND A RESTING MISS KATIE PERETTI

[Miss Katie Peretti has her head covered by a blanket, which Simon uncovers.]

>> Simon: Oh, no, what on earth have I gotten myself into?

Scene 2:
Location: Sparky's Garage in Milltown.

SIMON FRASIER AND A RESTING MISS KATIE PERETTI

[Simon walks over to Katie, resting in the back seat, after their sexual act. He puts a blanket over her head, as if she were dead. Simon walks away.]

[Katie pulls the blanket off of her head and smirks.]

Scene 3:
Location: Sparky's Garage in Milltown.

SIMON FRASIER AND MISS KATIE PERETTI

>> Katie: Mmm. Coffee. Smells good. I guess you didn't expect to find me here.
>> Simon: Well, what gave me away?
>> Katie: Probably the way you're clutching that mug like it was your last best hope. Mind sharing?
>> Simon: So have you been in here all night?
>> Katie: Mm-hmm.
>> Simon: Uh-huh. Couldn't have been very comfortable or warm.
>> Katie: No, I was okay. I found our trusty blanket.
>> Simon: Look, Katie, don't take this the wrong way. But why did you come back?
>> Katie: Well, when I left here yesterday, I went back to Craig's. And he wasn't very happy with me.
>> Simon: Why, because you stayed out all night? That's none of his business. You're not a child. You are over 18, aren't you?
>> Katie: Oh, of course I am. It's just that Craig expected me to supervise the clean-up. I was supposed to be there by 7:00.
>> Simon: A.M.?
>> Katie: Mm-hmm. And he was not very happy that I blew it off.
>> Simon: Wait, wait, wait, wait. First of all, he doesn't even invite you to his stinking party, and then, he expects you to clean up afterwards?
>> Katie: That's exactly what I told him. He treats me like a slave, and then, he expects me to be grateful. Please!
>> Simon: Yeah, well, sometimes family are the last people you should trust.
>> Katie: Sounds like you've been there.
>> Simon: Oh, yeah, yeah. Believe me, just because you share the same DNA doesn't mean that a sibling won't turn out to be a first class pig.
>> Katie: See, I knew you'd see it the way I do.
>> Simon: Okay, so where does this fallout leave you and Craig?
>> Katie: Nowhere. We're barely speaking.
>> Simon: Okay, so why did you come back here?
>> Katie: Because Craig kicked me out. And I don't have anywhere else to go.

Scene 4:
Location: Sparky's Garage in Milltown.

SIMON FRAISER AND MISS KATIE PERETTI

>> Katie: (Joined in progress) And -- well, that's actually kind of why I'm here. >> Simon: Okay, I'm not following.
>> Katie: You and I look at things the same way. You're actually the first person that I've met in Oakdale that sees things the way I do. I mean, like the thing with Craig, you understood that, you understood that he was being a jerk. And that I walked out on him, and it's no big deal. I could have never talked to Margo about that. She's my sister. And I can talk to you.
>> Simon: Okay. So that's -- that's why you came here -- to talk?
>> Katie: I just have no clue what to do next. And I know you've been in the situation just kind of in limbo, so I thought, maybe we could talk about it.
>> Simon: Katie, look --
>> Katie: You know, and figure things out. And if not today, then maybe tomorrow?
>> Simon: Listen, Katie, if you're after a clear head, look, I'm not really sure I'm the right person for that right now. I mean, I'm just saying that you probably shouldn't rely on me at the moment. I'm not --

LILY WALSH SNYDER WALKS IN.

>> Katie: Oh, Lily.

Scene 5
Location: Sparky's Garage in Milltown.

SIMON FRAISER, MISS KATIE PERETTI, AND LILY WALSH SNYDER

>> Simon: Lily, hi.
>> Lily: Hi. Katie --
>> Katie: So what brings you all the way down here?
>> Lily: I need to speak to Simon.
>> Katie: So how is everything going with you?
>> Lily: You know, I'm not gonna sit here and have a little chit-chat with you -- someone who knew that I was missing and never told anybody and used it as an opportunity to go after my husband.
>> Katie: Okay, fine. So, Simon, what we were talking about --
>> Simon: Yeah.
>> Katie: Should I bring in my car for a tune-up later today or tomorrow? It's up to you?
>> Simon: Yeah, no, no, later today's good. It's fine.
>> Katie: Okay. I'll see you then.
>> Simon: Okay.
>> Katie: Bye, Lily.
>> Simon: Bye.
>> Katie: Bye.

LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Lily: You okay?
>> Simon: Yeah, sure.
>> Lily: All the mechanics in the world, she has to come to you.
>> Simon: Hey, let's just forget her. Let's -- tell me you have come here to get an early start on that getaway weekend.
>> Lily: I wish. I really, really wish. But we have a problem.
>> Simon: Holden?
>> Lily: He caught on to the fact that I wanted him to take the kids for the weekend so I could be with you. And he's not cooperating.
>> Simon: I don't blame him. You know, I'd probably do the same thing if I was in his shoes and you wanted to go off and see another man.
>> Lily: So if we go away together, I have to get a baby-sitter.
>> Simon: Why? Why? What about --
>> Lily: Emma?
>> Simon: Emma -- doesn't she normally watch the kids?
>> Lily: She can't. I can't put her in the middle of this. And I can't even think about asking my mother because she wants me to get you out of the country.
>> Simon: Yeah, well, surprise, surprise. So, tell me -- where does that leave our plans to get out of here?
>> Lily: I don't feel comfortable leaving the kids with someone who isn't family. It's been very difficult on them. And I don't wanna push Holden on this. I can see that it's killing him. I don't know what to say.
>> Simon: I'll tell you what. Let's just not go anywhere.
>> Lily: But we've been looking forward to some time alone.
>> Simon: I know. We can still have it. We can have our time away right here at home. You know, turn this place into our own little paradise -- just you and me alone -- a secret.

Scene 6:
Location: Sparky's Garage in Milltown.

SIMON FRASIER AND LILY WALSH SNYDER

>> Simon: I want you, Lily. I want you so badly it aches. But, you know, I will take all the aching and all the crazy situations that come along if it means I get a chance to be with you.
>> Lily: I don't know how this is going to turn out.
>> Simon: There are no guarantees for anybody or anything.
>> Lily: I just have two children to think about.
>> Simon: Yeah, and you're doing a great job considering their feelings, keeping their lives as stable as possible under the circumstances.
>> Lily: What about the I.N.S.? I mean, we decided finally to be together and now -- you could be deported. I don't even wanna think about that.
>> Simon: Forget about that. Forget about that. This -- this is our moment. It's so much more than we thought we were ever gonna get.
[Simon Frasier turns over the sign to "Closed" on the door with the number "708" marked on it.]
[Simon begins kissing Lily. Katie can see this, through the broken glass of a window.]

>> Katie: Yes, hi. I need to know exactly what it takes to keep someone from being deported.
