Scene: Lakeview Hotel Restaurant

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE KASNOFF

>> Simon: A baby. Well, that's -- that's big. That's great news.
>> Katie: Yeah. Thank you. It is. Mike and I have been wanting to start a family for a quite some time. And we just thought this was the perfect time.
>> Simon: So, you're pregnant?
>> Katie: Well, I wouldn't be surprised. Considering, you know, all the -- opportunities, I guess you'd say?
>> Simon: All right. So, you're not pregnant?
>> Katie: I could be.
>> Simon: But you don't know yet?
>> Katie: No, not yet.
>> Simon: That's kind of awkward news to share with an ex-husband, don't you think?
>> Katie: Well, you're not just an ex-husband, you're living here now. You're making life for yourself. You're going to see me.
>> Simon: So, you thought you could just tell me that you and Mike were doing it north, south, east, west, sideways --
>> Katie: No, I never said that.
>> Simon: So, you implied it.
>> Katie: We're trying to have a baby. I mean, what else do you do? Mike and I are obviously --
>> Simon: Doing it very chance you get, 'cause your so desperate to hear the pitter-patter of little feet?
>> Katie: No, I'm not desperate to do anything.
>> Simon: Except convince me that you're so happy.
>> Katie: I am happy.
>> Simon: So, why are you trying so hard to make me jealous?
>> Katie: Why I would I try to make you jealous?
>> Simon: Because you still have feelings for me.

Scene: Lakeview Hotel Restaurant

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE KASNOFF, MIKE KASNOFF

>>< Katie: I'm sorry Simon, but I don't have feelings for you anymore. And you just keep twisting things around like you always do. I mean it's obvious that you're the one that still has feelings for me.
>> Simon: Sure I do. Hey, yeah. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.
>> Katie: Well, you're not married.
>> Simon: So, if you weren't married, you'd be willing to admit that you still --
>> Katie: No, no, no don't. Don't go there. I did not say that.
>> Simon: Why? Why do you feel so guilty about it, huh? It's not unusual, you know. People jump into rebound marriages all the time once they've lost the love of their life.
>> Katie: Mike is the love of my life.
>> Simon: You only get to use that phrase once every lifetime, Katie, and we used it on each other.
>> Katie: He's there for me. He comes home every night and I'm thrilled to see him walk through that door. I never had that comfort with you, Simon. Mike and I have the kind of marriage that I dreamed about having with you.
>> Simon: So, you wanted that kind of life with me?
>> Katie: You could never give it to me.
>> Simon: If circumstances were different --
>> Katie: But they weren't.
>> Simon: Well, I'm happy for you. You know what, I really am. You finally got the life you wanted.
>> Katie: Thank you.
>> Simon: You know, I just -- I'm just wondering that -- never mind. Don't worry.
>> Katie: What? You know I hate it when you do that.
>> Simon: I know everything about you, Katie. And you know everything about me. But, you know what, you're married now, to a decent, reliable, honest guy. And I've changed too. You know what, I've got a whole new life. And we're both happy.
>> Katie: Okay.
>> Simon: Watch what you say. Hubby, at nine o'clock. Listen, Mike, take a seat. Katie was kind enough to share a drink with me, but now I've gotta run. And listen, congratulations. You and Katie and the little one have a very bright future ahead of you.
>> Mike: The little one?
>> Katie: You know Simon. How are you?
>> Mike: What happened to kim?
>> Katie: Oh, she had to cancel.
>> Mike: So you thought you'd sit down and tell Simon that we were trying to have a baby?

MIKE KASNOFF, KATIE KASNOFF

>> Mike: You're not even pregnant yet --
>> Katie: You don't know that.
>> Mike: So you thought you'd tell Simon before you told me?
>> Katie: No -- I just mentioned to him that we were thinking about starting a family. And then he did what he always does -- he made a big deal out of it.
>> Mike: Well, it's a pretty big deal.
>> Katie: To him. Not to us -- we're married -- it's a normal progression.
>> Mike: Okay, well I'm just wondering why you decided to confide in your ex husband.
>> Katie: Honey, I did not confide in him --
>> Mike: Okay, well then what was it? Were you trying to make him jealous?
>> Katie: No --
>> Mike: It seems like ever since I told you that I walked in on him with Carly --
>> Katie: Whoa, whoa wait a minute -- you said that you just saw them together -- I mean she was there and he was --
>> Mike: Naked.
>> Katie: But you walked in on them, or -- which one is it?
>> Mike: Why don't you just ask him -- you probably already have so --
>> Katie: No, I haven't.
>> Mike: I don't know maybe that's what's going on here.
>> Katie: Honey, I told you. Kim was supposed to meet me here for dinner --
>> Mike: I know, I know, and she cancelled so you sat down with Simon to tell him we were having a lot of sex.
>> Katie: Oh my -- I did not say that -- those words never came out of my mouth --
>> Mike: Sweetheart, there's only so many ways you can have a baby --
>> Katie: What is it with you men -- I'm talking about having a child and all you can think about is sex.
>> Mike: Okay, so you didn't talk about sex then --
>> Katie: No!
>> Mike: Alright, so if you're not trying to make Simon jealous --
>> Katie: Honey, Simon is already jealous -- and why not. He's never gonna be the man that you are and he's never gonna have the marriage that we have.
>> Mike: So maybe you're jealous of somebody else -- like Carly?

>> Carly: You've got to be kidding me!
>> Simon: I wish I were. Jack, sorry my friend, do you mind if I steal her away for a moment?

>> Simon: I'm sorry. And if I hadn't arrived?
>> Carly: We were having a nice conversation. For the first time in a long time.
>> Simon: About?
>> Carly: Dating --
>> Simon: Dating -- oh, he's dating?
>> Carly: No. But he will.
>> Simon: And so will you.
>> Carly: I don't know -- I have the kids with me.
>> Simon: Oh come on, you have three great kids. A lot of men love that.
[ Carly laughing ] Carly: Oh yes and they're flocking to single mothers. Not to mention the fact that I'm still married and at the rate things are going -- it'll take forever.
>> Simon: Doesn't have to.
>> Carly: Well the papers that Jack's talking about is just the beginning. You know there's quite a lengthy waiting period after that.

Scene: Lakeview Hotel Restaurant

MIKE KASNOFF, KATIE KASNOFF

>> Katie: Simon and I were together for a long time, or we were trying to be together. Mostly we were apart. Whatever, the point is -- he always used to tease me. It's just an old habit, it doesn't mean anything --
>> Mike: What was he teasing you about?
>> Katie: You. And me being married again. While he's single. So okay I told him we were starting a family, I just wanted to shut him up. Honey, the truth is, Simon's just a guy I used to know. You are my life. He's just --
>> Mike: It was a different kind of life with him.
>> Katie: It was terrible. Well, it wasn't terrible, I was just a kid. I'm grown up now and I'm married and I want a family. But I understand why you're upset. I reacted when you told me about Carly. Of course I reacted, that's normal. But it doesn't mean anything. I don't care what he does with Carly. All I care about is you and us and starting a family.
>> Mike: I hope so. Because all I want is you.
>> Katie: Good, cause that's all I want, too. That is all I want.

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Simon: All right let's fly down to Santo Domingo and you have to retain your services as a couple of times. I could call him up and get the process started.
>> Carly: Oh, I don't know.
>> Simon: Come on you said it yourself. Jack's determined to go through with this, why draw it out.
>> Carly: Well I'd have to call him.
>> Simon: Call him from the hotel. Carly he walked out on this marriage, this is your chance to take some power back. Why leave yourself emotionally raw when this thing could drag out for months and months.
>> Carly: You're right about that. All right -- all right, I'll do it. I will go to Santo Domingo.
>> Simon: Santo Domingo and fly home a free woman.
