Scene 1:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lounge

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: You told me that you broke up that necklace and sold off all the stones. You lied.
>> Simon: No, I -- I kinda just kept one. One as a souvenir. It's a tradition with me. Kind of a trademark, if you will.
>> Carly: Simon, I'm not really interested in advertising the fact that we stole crown jewels amounting to the total net worth of a small country.
>> Simon: No one's ever going to know except us. And look at it, it's so very pretty.
>> Carly: Oh, it is --
>> Simon: So pretty.
>> Carly: It's evidence. Now, why would you want to hold on to something that's in incriminating?
>> Simon: Isn't it obvious?
>> Carly: Well, maybe if you're insane and you want to go to jail.
>> Simon: Carly, this is just a very special reminder of our very first night together.


Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lounge

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Simon: Look at it, Carly. It's the perfect gem for a perfect night.
>> Carly: It was unforgettable.
>> Simon: Was it me, or was it the danger?
>> Carly: What do you mean?
>> Simon: I think you liked a little bit of risky business. There you were, scamming the prince at 1,000 miles an hour as I was helping myself to Vienna's bobbles.
>> Carly: I hope you're talking about her jewelry.
>> Simon: Yeah, you took off like a rocket.
>> Carly: Well, it wasn't just the high of getting away with something. I am very fond of you, Simon. I mean that. And as much as I like excitement, can we please just keep it to scary movies and roller coasters, okay? Because I seriously, desperately do not want to go to jail. And flaunting this all around town? That's bad karma. Besides, the more people who see it, the more questions will be asked.
>> Simon: People? Come on, I don't think you're worried about the general public with something like this. Admit it. You're worried about detective Jack.


Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Kasnoff Cottage

KATIE KASNOFF, MIKE KASNOFF, HENRY COLEMAN

>> Mike: Henry.
>> Henry: You rang? Hey, it's great to have you back. It's great to have you here, talking things out like a responsible, mature, married couple who belong together. Which is the only reason I locked you up in there, mike. I always have your best interests at heart -- yours and Katie's best interests.
>> Mike: Get lost, Henry.
>> Henry: Okay, absolutely. When you two lovebirds decide to spread your wings, I will be at the Lakeview. And champagne is on me.
>> Mike: I really don't see what good this is going to do. And this latest stunt, it's just -- it's typical.
>> Katie: You were locked in for two minutes, Mike. I know I got you here under false pretenses, but I needed to see you. You wouldn't talk to me. I know that you're hurt. And I understand that you're angry. But I need to make sure that you don't do something that we'll both regret.
>> Mike: Like what?
>> Katie: Like walking out on a wonderful marriage. I know I've made my mistakes. But we're so much more than that.
>> Mike: Hon, there are mistakes, and then there's patterns. And sleeping with Simon is a pattern.
>> Katie: I'm not the only one here with baggage. You've slept with half the women in this town.
>> Mike: That's not true.
>> Katie: Carly? Rosanna? Jen? I know we weren't married at the time and what I did was much worse, I'm just saying --
>> Mike: It just showed me something.
>> Katie: What, that I'm not perfect? For better or for worse, Mike, that's what marriage is all about. I mean, even if this is one of the worst things we've ever been through --
>> Mike: One of the worst things?
>> Katie: You've had your moments, and I've stuck by you.
>> Mike: I never cheated on you.
>> Katie: No. But you did get arrested the day we were supposed to get married.
>> Mike: That's wrong.
>> Katie: I'm sorry, it wasn't meant to be -- I know you were innocent, I know you didn't do anything wrong. But you did continue to protect your cousin even when you knew it was getting dangerous. And I stuck by you because you're my husband, because I love you. And I will always stick by you. That is all I'm saying. Just remember the good times. Please, just remember that I am more than my mistakes.


Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lounge

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, BARTENDER

>> Carly: Okay, I will admit, I wouldn't feel right wearing something like this around Jack. And not because I still have a thing for him but -- even when we were together -- Jack's a cop, he could never afford to get me something like this. And I wouldn't want to flaunt it around him. That wouldn't be nice.
>> Simon: You're a good person.
>> Carly: I can be.
>> Simon: You know what I'm going to do? Since this little baby here is causing you so much stress? I'm going to get rid of it.
>> Carly: What? What do you mean you're going to get rid of it?
>> Simon: Hey, buddy --
>> Bartender #1: Yes, sir.
>> Simon: Yeah, you got a garbage can behind there?
>> Bartender #1: Yeah, right here.
>> Carly: Garbage can?
>> Simon: That is perfect. Yeah, you see, wearing something so perfect and rare, that's way too much to ask. So I won't.


Scene 5:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Kasnoff Cottage

KATIE KASNOFF, MIKE KASNOFF

>> Mike: This is not a contest -- how much we can stand in the name of love.
>> Katie: You make it sound like it was all terrible --
>> Mike: It wasn't terrible. That's the problem. It was great. I was invested. I put my whole self in this marriage. Part of you is still in love with Simon.
>> Katie: That's not true.
>> Mike: It is true. From day one when he snuck up on you on that boat.
>> Katie: How is that my fault? I planned a honeymoon with you, not a reunion with Simon.
>> Mike: When he showed up, you didn't tell me. You protected him.
>> Katie: No, I protected you. You remember what we'd just been through? Your cousin dying, you being carted off to jail. I wanted -- I wanted time for us. So we could relax and we could remember why we got married. So we could think about our vows and all the wonderful things that we said to each other and all the promises that we made.
[ Katie and Mike remembering ]
>> Mike: If I need inspiration, all I need to do is look in your eyes. You are my light in the darkness. And you are my most loyal friend. And you will always and forever be my snow angel.
>> Katie: Do you remember?
>> Mike: Of course I remember.
>> Mike: I remember everything. I remember the wedding, I remember all the plans we had and wanting to have kids, adding on to this house --
>> Katie: You built that beautiful deck. We were talking about names. I liked Michael -- it's always been my favorite. Sarah for a little girl.
>> Mike: I can't do this.
>> Katie: Mike, I know you're hurt.
>> Mike: No, you don't. Look, I'm not trying to turn you into a criminal for how you feel. You can't help that. As for what happened -- I can even believe you weren't trying to hurt me. But why would something like this just happen?
>> Katie: I just was under so much pressure, I told you. Not from you. Never from you. But Lucinda was on me about the book, and I was already under so much stress about not getting pregnant, and I don't know, I just -- I just was feeling like everything I try was a complete failure.
>> Mike: You did that to yourself.
>> Katie: I know. But I was just so overwhelmed.
>> Mike: And you let your guard down.
>> Katie: And I guess just all those old, unresolved feelings just took over.
>> Mike: Did you think if you grabbed Simon, he would save you?
>> Katie: I don't know.
>> Mike: Well, in a way, he did. Because you've been lying to yourself, and that's no way to live. The truth is, you have feelings for him, even now. And I cannot deal with that.
>> Katie: Please, just give me another chance.
>> Mike: Why? Why, to put yourself in the same position? It's not fair to you. It's not what I want.
>> Katie: We can start over, though. We can have that family that we wanted.
>> Mike: We tried that. It didn't work. Maybe you were right. Maybe the universe is trying to tell us not to go down that road. It's probably for the better. That wouldn't have been fair to a child.
>> Katie: Don't say that. Don't ever say that! I dreamed about that child. I dreamed about our baby.
>> Mike: Me, too. Turns out, that's all it was. It was just a dream. Good-bye.


Scene 6:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lounge

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: No! No. Don't you dare.
>> Simon: So you do like it. Okay, 'cause I thought the setting was just perfect for you, but if you don't want it, I can --
>> Carly: The setting's beautiful.
>> Simon: Because I can always call a jeweler and get it made into a pinky ring.
>> Carly: Now you're just making fun of me.
>> Simon: Just testing the waters. I was gonna get the chain longer, but then I thought, "no, closer to your eyes."
>> Carly: It's the prettiest thing I've ever seen.
>> Simon: Yes, it is.


Scene 7:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lounge

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: It's a wonderful gift. And not just because of the diamond. That fact that you want to remember our first night together. That's what makes it special.
>> Simon: When you say stuff like that, I just want to lay the world at your feet.
>> Carly: I don't need the world. Just knowing that we've worked things out, that's enough.
>> Simon: Finally, huh? It's been a rough couple days.
>> Carly: Maybe that was a good thing. To show us what we could've lost.
>> Simon: Listen, Carly -- I admit -- the first one to admit I am not the safest bet. But the how I feel about you -- man, I just want to make you happy.
>> Carly: I feel the same way.
>> Simon: Good. More champagne? More champagne. We're celebrating.


Scene 8:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lounge

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, KATIE KASNOFF, HENRY COLEMAN

>> Katie: Henry!
>> Henry: Hey. Is it time for that champagne?
>> Katie: No.
>> Henry: Where's Mike?
>> Katie: He's gone. He walked out. He doesn't want to be married to me anymore. It's really over this time, Henry.
>> Henry: Okay. Okay, okay. Forget the champagne. You know what, we'll get some scotch -- lots of it.
>> Katie: I don't want to get drunk. I just want my husband back.
>> Henry: All right, okay. Let's get a table, we'll put our heads together, yeah?
[ Simon kissing Carly ]
Carly: I'll treasure it. I will.
[ Katie and Henry looking at Carly and Simon ]
>> Katie: They are so not getting away with this. Look at them. They're so happy. All over her like he has nothing to be ashamed of. He ruined my life!
>> Henry: Bubbles, I know it looks bleak --
>> Katie: My marriage is over because of Simon. He made me believe that he still loved me. That we had this once in a lifetime connection. That all I had to do was fall into his arms and we'd live happily ever after, and I bought it. Mike was right. I sold him out for a lie. Simon never loved me.
>> Henry: Sweetie, I wouldn't go that far.
>> Katie: I was just a first draft for Carly. And now my life is a mess. And they're toasting with champagne.
>> Henry: Hey, you know what? I got a great idea. Let's get some burger and fries, huh? We'll go to Al's. I'll eat, you can cry.
>> Katie: I'm not gonna waste one more tear on that pathetic excuse for a man.
>> Henry: Okay, we'll both eat. But sparingly. I'm a little short on cash. I was two hearts away from a straight flush.
>> Katie: You and me both. Oh, look, he bought her a present. Isn't that so sweet.
>> Henry: That's got to be at least four carats.
>> Katie: Yeah, he wouldn't touch anything less.
>> Henry: Then I guess the rumors are true. I heard they made a bundle on that building they renovated. Hey, you know what, Al's awaits.
>> Katie: I can't. I owe Lucinda Walsh some pages for the new release of Oakdale Confidential.
>> Henry: You're going to work now?
>> Katie: I was just suddenly inspired.
>> Henry: Well, you're a better man than me. When I'm in despair, I can't work, I can't sleep, I can't even gamble.
>> Katie: This is no gamble. This is a sure thing.
>> Henry: Really? What is the theme?
>> Katie: Revenge.
