Scene 1:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel
Scene: Simon and Katie Frasier's Bedroom

SIMON FRASIER AND KATIE FRASIER

>> Simon: Good morning, Mrs. Frasier.
>> Katie: Good morning -- again. You hungry?
>> Simon: I am starving.
>> Katie: A-ha. Look what I have.
[Simon looks under the covers]
>> Simon: Oh, look what you have there.
>> Katie: Stop it! I don't mean that. I'm talking about this.
>> Simon: Okay. When I said I was hungry, I meant --
>> Katie: I know what you meant. Hold that thought and look.
>> Simon: Okay, so what is this, dessert?
>> Katie: It's not the dessert. Here. I think that will help you. Look familiar? [Katie stands up a bride and groom cake topper]
>> Simon: Hmm? It looks like a wedding cake.
>> Katie: It's our wedding cake.
>> Simon: We didn't have a wedding cake.
>> Katie: Yes, we did. Do you think I'd get married without a cake? There was cake.
>> Simon: The cake? That must have slipped my mind.
>> Katie: Of course, it wasn't layers and layers of sponge sugar, but it was ours. Now, there's a tradition where you freeze the top of the cake -- in our case, a slice -- and you feed it to each other on your one-year anniversary.
>> Simon: Okay, but we've got a little bit to go before our wedding anniversary.
>> Katie: Close enough. Ready?
>> Simon: All right, so I get a bit of cake here.
>> Katie: A bit!
[Katie and Simon feed each other]
>> Simon: That's incredible.
>> Katie: My kisses?
>> Simon: Yes, that, and that almost a year ago, I made the greatest mistake of my life.
>> Katie: I was a mistake?
>> Simon: No. Oh, come on. You know what I meant.
>> Katie: No, I don't. Why don't you tell me?

KATIE FRASIER AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Katie: So I'm a mistake?
>> Simon: No. Hey, hey. Come here. Come here. No, that's not what I mean.
>> Katie: You better start digging yourself out of this one fast.
>> Simon: Look, the mistake I made was not appreciating you, not showing you sooner how much you mean to me, not realizing that this -- this is where I belong.
>> Katie: In bed?
>> Simon: If that's where you are, then yes. Baby, I'm crazy about you. I have no idea what I'd do without you.
>> Katie: Well, you don't have to worry about that, 'cause we belong together, and that's exactly where we're going to stay.
>> Simon: That's pretty good cake for a year old.
>> Katie: Oh, yeah? You like it?
>> Simon: Yeah. I love it. So what else have you got hidden on ice?
>> Katie: Oh, bridesmaid's reception, five-piece band -- froze it all when I was 13. I used to have this little porcelain box where I would hide all these little slips of paper with every idea that I had for my perfect wedding.
>> Simon: Including the groom?
>> Katie: Especially the groom.
>> Simon: Really?
>> Katie: Yeah.
>> Simon: Okay, what did he look like?
>> Katie: No!
>> Simon: Come on.
>> Katie: No, no, no, no.
>> Simon: You have to tell me. Please.
>> Katie: You wouldn't believe me.
>> Simon: Try me.
>> Katie: Okay. He was tall, dark and handsome. Definitely exotic, kind of a sense of adventure, and he had an accent, just like you. See, who says dreams don't come true?
>> Simon: What else did you have planned?
>> Katie: Everything.
>> Simon: Yeah?
>> Katie: Engraved invitations, and a one of a kind ceremony. What the flowers would look like -- the dress, of course. And Craig would walk me down the aisle.
>> Simon: Oh, God.
>> Katie: And would be sweet and supportive, and he would say just the right thing when I got nervous. Whoo! Aren't you glad we don't have to go through that?
>> Simon: Are you?
>> Katie: I have what matters. Share a shower?
>> Simon: Yeah. Heat it up. I'll be there in a flash.
>> Katie: Okay. Who knew showering could be so much fun?
[Simon writes Katie a note, "Be Back Soon Love, Your Husband"]

Scene 3:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel
Scene: Craig Montgomery's Suite

CRAIG MONTGOMERY ALONE
>> Craig: [on the phone] Carly, it's me. You know, it's not too late to change your mind, and I know you want me to go to New York with you. Call me.

CRAIG MONTGOMERY AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Simon: Are you okay? Nice.
>> Craig: New York, why?
>> Simon: No, no, nothing. Come on. Can't I wonder what my favorite brother-in-law is up to?
>> Craig: If I'd known you were such a bad liar, I wouldn't have hired you. What do you need?
>> Simon: It's about your sister's happiness.
>> Craig: Ah. I'm listening.
>> Simon: Well, I wanna give her the wedding that she's always wanted, and since you are her only father figure -- God help her -- I want you to be a part of it.
>> Craig: Absolutely.
>> Simon: Great!
>> Craig: But foot the Bill? No. That's your job now.
>> Simon: Wait, wait. So that's it?
>> Craig: You got money. Spend some of it on that dream wedding.

Scene 4:
Scene: Craig Montgomery's Suite

CRAIG MONTGOMERY AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Craig: I gave you plenty of money a few of months ago. Why don't you throw some of that --
>> Simon: It's not even a part, not even a fraction of what you owe me.
>> Craig: Spoken like a man who's already piddled away a small fortune.
>> Simon: I have not piddled anything away. I spent most of it hunting down your sister.
>> Craig: Your wife. You had the ceremony.
>> Simon: That was -- Craig, that was a quickie. That was a justice of the peace. We can't even remember what we said. She wants more.
>> Craig: Well, get used to it. In the meantime, why don't you think about getting a job? You know, millions of people get up every morning, go right to work.
>> Simon: Oh, yeah, and you'd know something about that.
>> Craig: Simon, I don't have time to discuss the food chain with you at the moment. I have more pressing needs.
>> Simon: And Craig, listen, Katie's gonna get that wedding whether you like it or not.

KATIE FRASIER, SIMON FRASIER, AND CRAIG MONTGOMERY

>> Katie: Whoa, whoa, whoa, boys. It's getting loud in here. Is there a problem?
>> Simon: No.
>> Katie: Oh, yeah, there is a problem and I know what it is. I miss Bryant, too, Craig. It's okay. [Katie hugs Craig] Times like this that we really understand how much we need each other.
>> Craig: Yeah, well -- now look, we can talk later. Thank you. We can talk later, okay? I have something I have to do.
>> Katie: Yes, well, distractions are good sometimes, but why be alone if you don't have to be? Why don't you let me and Simon help?

Scene 5:
Scene: Craig Montgomery's Suite

KATIE FRASIER, CRAIG MONTGOMERY, AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Katie: Come on, Craig. If you're having a problem, you know you can share it with me.
>> Craig: You really think you can help?
>> Katie: Absolutely. If I can get my husband here to realize how much he adores me, I can move mountains. Well, come on, Craig. Why don't you share with me what's going on with you? Obviously, something's bothering you. Or is it someone? Does this have to do with Carly?
>> Craig: Thank you for dropping by.
>> Katie: Ah, okay.
>> Simon: Oh, so he's going to New York because of Carly.
>> Katie: Well, you know what you need to do, Craig? Breathe. In with the good, out with the bad. It'll come to you, and you will know exactly what to do.
>> Craig: Thanks for the aerobic tips. But I know what to do.
