OK
[LEO HAS JUST ARRIVED HOME.]
GRACE: Sweetie, you're home. Come on. Unpack your bag. Make sure your passport's there, along with your other stuff-- underwear, letters, whatever.
LEO: Later, later. I--I had a bumpy landing. It kinda, you know, got me in the mood.
[LEO RAISES HIS EYEBROWS.]
GRACE: Oh. Oh, oh, okay. Well, you know what gets me in the mood?
LEO: What's that?
[GRACE PUTS LEO'S DUFFEL BAG ON HIS LAP.]
GRACE: Knowing that my man has proper international travel documentation. [GROWLS]
LEO: Okay, okay, I'll--I'll--I'll-- I'll look.
[LEO UNZIPS HIS BAG.]
LEO: [PULLING OUT THE LETTER] What's this?
GRACE: Hmm, looks like a letter.
LEO: It's a letter.
GRACE: That's what I thought too.
LEO: It's from Dr. Morty.
GRACE: Dr. Morty?
LEO: Why is, uh, why is she writing me? [READS THE LETTER TO HIMSELF] Hello. Wow. Oh, man. Man--whew, man. Yeah, it's my itinerary. [FOLDS UP THE LETTER.]
GRACE: It is not! Is it?! I don't know!
LEO: Grace, you, uh, you--you obviously read it.
GRACE: And thank God! She wants you, Leo.
LEO: But I don't-- I don't want her.
GRACE: Please. You're two hot people down in the sunny tropics with nothing else to do but have sex. I know. I've been to Daytona twice.
LEO: Grace, Doctors Without Borders is there to prevent an entire population from being annihilated by infectious diseases.
GRACE: Yeah, for, like, 20 minutes a day. Then it's "doctors without bottoms."
LEO: Sweetie, she's nothing to me. And by the way, in-in-in the future, if you're gonna go through my things, just try to be a little bit more thorough.
[LEO PULLS A PHOTO BOOK OUT OF HIS DUFFEL BAG AND HANDS IT TO GRACE.]
GRACE: These are all pictures of me.
LEO: Yeah.
GRACE: My eyes are closed in all of them.
LEO: That's because you're asleep. I-I-I took them before I left, because I can't sleep unless you're asleep next to me.
GRACE: Oh. That is so sweet. [GRACE HUGS LEO] And so creepy.
[GRACE KISSES LEO ON THE CHEEK.]
LEO: So are you okay?
GRACE: Yeah. I'm fine.
LEO: You know, all I could think about since I left was one of your home cooked meals.
GRACE: [SMILING] Hmm.
LEO: So let's go upstairs and have sex.
GRACE: Then we'll spend all day tomorrow in bed.
LEO: Oh, oh, baby, baby, I can't. I have an early flight.
GRACE: You're leaving? No, you just got here.
LEO: I know, but they're expecting me back. Look, I-- I'm gonna go jump in the shower. You put on the panties I got you for Passover, and I'll meet you in the bedroom.
[LEO RUNS UP THE STAIRS. GRACE SIGHS.]
SCENE V: Will's Apartment
[WILL IS PREPARING A PLATE OF CHEESE WHEN JACK ENTERS.]
JACK: [NERVOUSLY] Hi. I need to talk to you just for a second.
WILL: [NERVOUSLY] Good, 'cause I-I-I... need to talk to you too.
[WILL AND JACK SIT ON THE SOFA.]
[AWKWARD SILENCE.]
WILL: So--
JACK: Yeah.
WILL: Hmm. I, um, I discovered a new cheese over the weekend. Cowgirl Creamery. You want to try some?
[WILL HOLDS OUT THE CHEESE PLATE.]
JACK: I would. [EATS A PIECE OF CHEESE] Mmm. This Cowgirl Creamery is a very good cheese.
WILL: Thank you. [MOTIONING TO JACK'S SHIRT] That's a nice top.
JACK: Thanks. Just got it.
WILL: Hm.
WILL AND JACK: [TOGETHER] I'm not interested in you.
WILL AND JACK: [TOGETHER] No, I'm not inteststed in you.
WILL AND JACK: [TOGETHER] No, I'm not interested in you!
WILL: What are you doing?!
JACK: I'm letting you down easy!
WILL: Nuh-uh! If anyone's letting anyone down easy, I'm letting down you.
JACK: And yet you're wooing me with soft cheeses and compliments to the top.
WILL: Jack, come on. This clearly meant more to you than it did to me because, well, look at me.
JACK: I am, and I'm looking at a forehead with teeth.
WILL: Jack, you have feelings for me. How else do you explain constantly offering to spot me at the gym?
JACK: That's what you do at the gym.
WILL: In the sauna?
JACK: Look, if anyone has feelings for anyone, it's you for me. Signing us up for a tango class. Signing us up for a cooking class. Everyone knows you express your love through the dance and the bake.
WILL: Let's just forget about who has more of a thing for whom.
JACK: [QUIETLY] You for me.
WILL: I said forget it! Whatever happened on that boat wouldn't have happened unless there was something lurking in our relationship for a long time. Something we--we need to start dealing with honestly.
JACK: So is that what we're doing now? We're just being honest?
WILL: I think we have to if there's any hope of getting past this.
JACK: [SIGHS] Well, if we're being honest, I guess I'd be lying if I said I never...
WILL: And I'd by lying if I said I never...
KAREN: [ENTERING] Wilma, take off your homo hat and put on your lawyer hat. That damn Rosario saved my life again!
KAREN: You know how I'm in a gang, right? [SIGHS]
KAREN: [TALKING VERY QUICKLY] Well, I flashed my colors in the wrong neighborhood and suddenly I'm surrounded. I'm about to take a cap to the dome when Rosie screeches up in the limo, pulls me in and guns it. Now she wants her day off and a pizza party with the maids. So, get me out of it. Oh, by the way, every room in the boat is under video surveillance. I took a look at the tape and nothing happened between you guys, just the occasional gas and some soft weeping. Whew, there's a lot of caffeine in a Red Bull! See ya!
[KAREN EXITS.]
WILL: So... Nothing happened.
JACK: Nothing happened.
WILL: Nothing happened.
JACK: [IN A HIGH VOICE] Nothing happened!
WILL: Oh, thank god that weirdness is over.
JACK: Oh, thank god.
[WILL AND JACK HUG.]
[AN AWKWARD PAUSE, THEN THE TWO SEPARATE.]
[Talking simultaneously very fast]
SCENE VI: Grace and Leo's Apartment
[THE NEXT MORNING. LEO IS GETTING READY TO LEAVE.]
GRACE: Leo, come on. You're gonna miss your plane. I'm gonna miss you.
LEO: I'm gonna miss you too.
[LEO AND GRACE KISS.]
LEO: Oh, I almost forgot. I wrote you a letter. [LEO HANDS GRACE AN ENVELOPE] But don't read it. You have to wait until you go to bed tonight.
GRACE: Of course.
LEO: No, no, no. I'm--I'm serious. This is really important to me. I want this to be the last thing you see before you fall asleep.
GRACE: Okay, the first time I agreed, I was lying. But now that I know it's really important, I'm really gonna do it.
LEO: Okay. Now come here. Put some of that stank on me.
[LEO AND GRACE KISS.]
GRACE: Call me the second you get there. Okay.
LEO: Bye.
GRACE: Be safe.
LEO: Okay.
[LEO PICKS UP HIS BAG AND EXITS.]
[GRACE SLOWLY WALKS OFF INTO THE BATHROOM.]
GRACE: Who am I kidding?
[SUDDENLY SHE RUNS OUT OF THE BATHROOM AND TO THE COUCH AND GRABS THE LETTER. SHE READS IT.]
LEO'S VOICE [NARRATING THE LETTER]: "Dear Grace, I can't believe I'm saying good-bye to you again. Last night, I was watching you sleep. And, well, it just made me realize it's so much better than sleeping next to a picture. If you're reading this, you're probably in your nightgown ready to crawl into bed... or it's been 30 seconds and you're in the same outfit because you can't follow a simple instruction. Either way, I'm not leaving. I'm giving up Doctors Without Borders. I'm on the other side of the door."
GRACE: [CONFUSED] What?
[THERE'S A KNOCK AT THE DOOR.]
LEO: [VOICE FROM OUTSIDE] I'm on the other side of the door.
[GRACE OPENS THE DOOR.]
GRACE: Oh, my God. Are you sure? I don't want you to do this for me.
LEO: I'm--I'm doing it for us.
GRACE: Why did you do the whole letter thing? Why didn't you just tell me in person? [GRACE HITS LEO ON THE ARM.]
LEO: Well, 'cause-- 'cause you tend to, uh, to hit when you get excited.
GRACE: No, I don't. I can't believe you're staying! [GRACE SMACKS LEO ON THE CHEST.]
SCENE VII: Will's Apartment
[WILL AND KAREN ARE DISCUSSING HER LEGAL PROBLEMS.]
KAREN: So what are you sayin', counselor? There's nothin' I can do?
WILL: I'm sorry. You and Rosario have a verbal agreement, and you have to live up to it.
KAREN: But I just saved her life.
WILL: Holding a toaster over the bathtub and not dropping it is not saving her life.
KAREN: Oh, all right. She can have her damn day off and her pizza party. But no sleepovers. And no correspondence with her family!
