*Megg notices Dean massaging his fist and gives him a look of disbelief. She storms out of the room and down to the lobby, hoping to find Jerry*
*Some people have gathered around a man on the floor. Megg runs over to them. She pushes them out of the way*
Megg: Give him room! *she's still pushing through people* Someone call a doctor or something! Don't just stand there! *she kneels down beside Jerry and lifts his head to her lap. She dabs at the blood from the bloody nose he just got from Dean. Her expression changes from one of tenderness back to anger at what Dean has done* Why do you have to keep doing this you two? Why can't you just solve your differences? Love me both in your own ways, why do you have to resort to all of this fighting?
*A doctor bursts through the crowd and takes Jerry from Megg*
Doctor: What happened here?
Megg: I wasn't here to see what was happening, but I'm pretty sure that...*a little too angrily* SOMEONE...punched him out cold...
Doctor: *calls for a stretcher and they take Jerry into a different room in the hotel*
Megg: *watches as they carry Jerry on the stretcher through the doors and runs back upstairs and barges into her and Dean’s room*
*Dean is sitting on the couch, now dressed, resting his head on his hand* Why is it every time I think I’m doing something right by her it turns out wrong? Why can’t he just leave us alone? She’s in love with me…why can’t he see that?
*Megg stands and glares at Dean*
Dean: *looks at her* What?
Megg: You just knocked out a man and you have the nerve to sit there and ask me what?!
Dean: *gives her a serious look and then looks away, shaking his head, not knowing what to say*
Megg: I want him to leave me alone, not be afraid to ever step foot within three feet of me ever again!
Dean: *sighs* You said he was bothering you, so I took care of things my way…
Megg: Well, when Jerry gets over that punch and that bloody nose, we’re going to take care of things MY way!
Dean: And how is that?
Megg: I’m bringing Jerry up here and we’re going to talk things over like normal people, and I swear to God if I so much as have to tie your hands to a chair to keep you from strangling him, don’t think I won’t do it!
Dean: *looks at her stunned* Megg, please…I was just trying to protect you…
Megg: If you married me to protect me then you married me for all the wrong reasons Dean.
Dean: That’s not how I meant it. *He looks to her apologetically and gets up, walking to her and goes to put his arms around her*
Megg: *ducks out of his embrace* I’m going to go check on Jerry…*she turns and leaves*
*Dean walks back to the couch and rests his head on his hand again, lost in thought. He thinks about when he and Megg first re-met in Italy. The first time since they had been about 14 years old*
*Megg walks into the room where Jerry is being kept for the time being and sits next to him*
Megg: I’m sorry it had to happen like this?
Jerry: Why should you be sorry?
Megg: Because I feel responsible in a way…after all, he is my husband…
Jerry: But it’s not your fault…*he reaches up and moves a strand of hair behind her ear*
Megg: Would you please come upstairs and just talk with him? Let’s just get this straightened out…
Jerry: I never want to see him again!
Megg: Jerry, you said you loved me….and if you do…you’d at least try to settle this…for my sake!
Jerry: *looks at her, his eyes searching her face* Okay…
Megg: *gives Jerry a quick peck on the cheek, unthinking* Thank you! *she walks out of the room and back up to her room* ***BACK AT THE HOSPITAL***
*The nurse hands Deeds the phone*
Deeds: Lawson, get here, quickly, I need your help!
Lawson: What is it Longfellow?! Is there something wrong with Kim?
Deeds: I’ll explain it all later, just get here!
Lawson: I’m on my way! *he hangs up and runs out to the car, speeding to the hospital*

*On the way to the house, Kim lays in Deeds arms and clings to him tightly, wrapping her arms around his neck and lying her head against his chest.*
*Her body is finally at ease in the arms of the man she loves. A love the two share that's stronger than anything, even death, could throw their way. She inhales the subtle smell of his cologne that her mind's never been able to forget. Only sending shivers down her spine, still unable to quite grasp the reality of this moment.*
*He lays his head on hers and gently runs his fingers through her hair, neither saying a word, just completely captivated and at peace with one another.*
*Lawson pulls into the front of Jimmy's house and drops the two off at the door*
Lawson: Are you guys gonna be all right? I mean, this place was overrun by the government. They took everything--
Kim: *Weakly smiles* We'll be all right...
Lawson: You both take care, all right? I'll see you in a couple days.
Deeds: *Places his hand on Lawson's shoulder* Thanks Lawson.
Lawson: *Smiles at Deeds, then to Kim* No problem.
*The two walk up to the door as Lawson drives away*
*Deeds carries her up the steps and swings the door open, looking over the barren, empty house.*
*With her arms wrapped around Deeds' neck, she looks up at him and smiles*
Deeds: *Smiles* Seems we should have done this 8 months ago...
Kim: At this very moment, I wouldn't give any of it up...for anything in the world.
*He walks into the bedroom, surprised to see a bed still there, and lays her down gently.*
*As he begins pulling away, she grabs hold of his collar and pulls him in for a kiss*
*He slowly leans in and their lips meet, embracing into a passionate kiss; the feel of his lips against hers...the way it used to be; the way it was meant to be, overwhelms them both.*
*She wraps her arms around him and he lays down next to her, still in a deep kiss*
*He slowly pulls away and gazes into her eyes, running his finger through her hair*
Deeds: I'm sorry I couldn't get us a better place to stay, Kim. It's not the most romantic place I had first dreamed of...
Kim: *Smiles and gently runs her finger down his cheek, gazing into his eyes* It doesn't matter where I live, because I don't really live at all when I'm not with you...
*He smiles and leans in for another kiss and the two, once again, become inseparable*
***Back at the hotel***
*Megg walks into the room and closes the door behind her, she goes to walk into the bedroom but realizes Dean's on the phone. She stops and listens in*
Dean: Thanks...yeah, I hope so, too. Thanks for bringing them home, Lawson....All right, talk to ya' later, bye.
*Dean hangs up and Megg stands, waiting for the story*
Megg: What's going on?
Dean: *Turns to Megg* Deeds told the doctors and nurses that they were crackpots and brought Kim home. Lawson drove them to Jimmy's, so they'll be staying there until everything gets settled.
Megg: Oh Dean! Let's go! I bet she's just--
*She goes to grab her coat but Dean stops her and pulls her towards him*
Dean: Megg, I think you better leave those two alone. They have a lot of catching up to do...
Megg: Oh...*she looks down* well, when do you think we'll be able to go visit?
Dean: In a couple days, probably.
Megg: Days?! But Dean--
Dean: Darling, they've been apart for 8 months. I think they deserve to have some alone time to themselves as husband and wife.
Megg: *Looks down, knowing Dean's right, she takes a deep sigh* All right.
*She removes herself from Dean's arms but he tightens his grip on her and gives her a passionate kiss*
*She goes to tear herself away, but becomes too captivated in the moment, so she gives in and melts in his arms*

*Megg pulls away and cuddles her head against his chest*
Megg: I'm sorry about what happened earlier...
Dean: *lifts her face to his and kisses her gently* mmm, I think we got it taken care of...
Megg: *quickly remembering her exchange with Jerry downstairs* DEAN!
Dean: *jumps* WHAT?!
Megg: I almost forgot...Jerry was coming up to talk things over!
Dean: *kisses her cheek* We could always lock the door...
Megg: *gives him a look that says he shouldn't* Dean...I think we really need to talk this over...
Dean: Do we have to?
Megg: Yes! I don't need you flying off the handle everytime he shows up at our door!
Dean: *sighs and unwraps his arms from around her and walks over to the couch, sort of throwing himself on it*
*They hear a knock on the door*
Dean: This must be the man of the hour! *watches as Megg goes to the door*
Megg: *walks to the door and opens it* Jerry, glad to see you could make it..
Dean: Why didn't you just come in unannounced as usual?!
Megg: *shoots an angry glance in Dean's direction* Not now....
Dean: *shoots an angry glace to Jerry*
Megg: *takes Jerry's hat* Do come in...
*Jerry walks in and Megg shuts the door behind him. Jerry stands close to the door and Megg motions for him to have a seat. Jerry hesitates and takes the one farthest away from Dean and looks at him and then quickly away. Megg sits at the other end of the couch, opposite Dean*
Megg: Now...*looks to Dean* I think you have something to say to Jerry?
Dean: I'm sorry pally...
Jerry: Don't say it if you don't mean it...*sits back in the chair and crosses his arms*
Dean: *stands up throwing his arms in the air* I try to apologize and he won't have it...don't you think this is a little pointless Megg?!
Megg: *Stands up* No, no I don't, because I am sick of things like this happening, I am sick and tired of the feuding over me...I am sick of the jealous rages...I am sick of the punches being thrown. You've tried settling things your way...now we're going to do it MY WAY, SO YOU JUST SIT RIGHT BACK DOWN!
Dean: *looks to Megg and sits back down*
Jerry: I just have one question? Why did you fall in love with him, Megg?
Megg: It's not like I planned it Jer...I mean...I loved him when I was younger...way before I even knew you existed...
Jerry: But WHAT made you love him again? What's he got that I don't?
Megg: *sighs* Jerry...*shakes her head, not knowing what to say*
Dean: *takes a sort of offense to her not speaking up and says in a very sarcastic tone* Oh...this should be interesting...please Megg...do tell...*gives her a very unnerving look*
Megg: *looks back to Dean and then to Jerry, keeping her gaze on Jerry* I...I don't know...I just don't know anymore...I love Dean for certain reasons....*looks back to Dean* And I love Jerry...yes, I still love Jerry...for other reasons...I'm sorry Dean...I really am...
Dean: *Gives her a look of disbelief and says in a very solemn tone* No Megg...I'm sorry...I thought I had it all figured out...I thought you had it all figured out...but I guess I was wrong...*he gets up and walks over to the chair that has his jacket flopped over it and grabs it. He looks to Jerry* I'm sorry Jerry...for what happened...*he looks to Megg and then puts his coat on and walks out the door, calmly*
Megg: *gets up, her eyes filling with tears and storms off into the kitchen. She leans forward over the counter, her head hung low, the tears streaming. She turns around and leans her back against it. She's sobbing so hard that she can barely stand and slowly slides her back down the counter, coming to a stop at the floor. She sits with her back up against the drawers, sobbing, her arms wrapped around her stomach*
Jerry: *gets up and walks to the kitchen, standing in the door frame. He looks to Megg*
Megg: *looks back to him, sniffing* WHY?!
Jerry: *walks over and kneels down next to her* Shhh...*he takes out his handkerchief and dries her eyes. He sits next to her on the floor. He gives the handkerchief to her and he places his hand on top of hers. He gently runs his hand over hers a few times*
Megg: *sniffles and stops crying. A strange feeling, one she can't quite describe, fills her as she feels Jerry's gentle touch again.* Why did I ever leave him? Why did I fall for Dean? *She tries to think back to what broke them up when they were younger...searching for reasons as to why they should be together now*
Jerry: *stands up and offers his hand to Megg, helping her up*
Megg: *gets up with Jerry's help and stands close to him. She wipes at her eyes* You know why we broke up?
Jerry: *gives her a confused look* What?
Megg: Do you know why we broke up?
Jerry: What do you mean?
Megg: When I was younger...I dated him...we lived near to one another...you know what ended it?
Jerry: *feeling awkward at such a conversation, he looks around the kitchen and then back to her* No...*shakes his head and shrugs, slightly*
Megg: He just started seeing someone else...out of the blue...He never told me why...he just did...
Jerry: I'm sorry...
Megg: I was a fool to fall for him again...I should have learned that loving him was a mistake...
Jerry: We don't learn...we just get older and then we know...
Megg: I'm sorry....
*Jerry wraps his arms around her and slowly leans in for a kiss*
Megg: I shouldn't have left....*the two share a passionate kiss. Megg closes her eyes tightly and feeling Jerry's arms around her, is transported back to that first kiss they shared in that club, so many years ago...*
***WHEREVER DEAN IS***
What the devil is the matter with you? You're in love with the girl and she's in love with someone else. This sort of thing happens all the time; people don't die of love. You'll recover... But meanwhile can't you be civilized about it? She might just love you after all...

Pally, I seriously don't know where to take this thing. I don't want to overstep you, Dean and Jerry's situation but I don't really have any place to take Deeds or myself. So....maybe I'll just bring Jimmy back from the dead to haunt everyone. Yeah! *snaps fingers* I'll bring Bounce and Jimmy back! *rolls eyes* I'll update later, pally; my brain needs a couple hours to stew...

*Megg pulls herself away from Jerry. Her thoughts getting flooded with memories of Dean and the vows they made to one another on the night of their wedding*
Megg: I'm sorry, Jerry...I can't.
Jerry: *Confused* You can't what?
Megg: I can't be with you. I love Dean.
Jerry: But you said you loved me too, Megg!
Megg: I know! *Gets up, pacing* I know I did, but I'm married to Dean now...and...--
Jerry: *Stops her and turns her around, wrapping her into his arms* But we have so much history Megg...I still love you, and you still love me--
Megg: But I still love Dean, Jerry...and he loves me. I'm sorry...I can't.
*She walks to the door and opens it up*
Megg: Please leave, Jerry...
Jerry: You can't be serious!
Megg: *Looks him in the eye* I'm very serious, Joseph Levitch, and I'd appreciate it if you would never bother me or Dean again...
Jerry: *Scoffs, storming out the door* Fine!
*Megg closes the door behind her and stands strong. Feeling the urge to cry, she holds back and keeps her head high.*
*Though the intensity of her feelings don't overcome as they had in the past. She actually feels good about her decision and decides to go find Dean and tell him the good news!*
***Back with Dean***
*Scuffs the ground with his shoe*
What's with this guy, anyways? I mean, what's he got that I haven't got? He's a nerdy stick of a man and he doesn't even have a brain! What could she possibly see in him?!
*Dean finds himself at a coffee shop after roaming down the street for 30 minutes and decides to get a warm cup of coffee to clear his mind*
Dean walks in and gets greeted by a waitress immediately*
Waitress: How many?
Dean: THREE! Does that sound fair! He keeps following me and insists on stealing my wife!
Waitress: ...Will he be on a separate order, then?
Dean: *Sighs* I'm sorry, just one.
*The waitress rolls her eyes and walks Dean to an empty table near an overly large window*
Waitress: *Smiles forcibly* Anything else?
Dean: No, just a cup of coffee--black.
Waitress: *Looks to Dean, then takes a double-look* Are you...
Dean: Thirsty.
Waitress: *Chuckles* Of course, Mister Martin, right away. *Dashes off with his order*
*Dean sits restless, his mind flooding with thoughts of Megg and Jerry, once again*
Dean: So what do I do now? Just let him have her? *Rolls his eyes and sighs* 'Cause she won't let me defend our relationship. I can't hit him again, she'll probably never speak with me after that, and I can't just ignore her the rest of my life because what kind of marriage is that? 'Where's the missus?' Oh, I don't know, I haven't seen her in 35 years...she's probably in Alaska, making it with a jerky beanpoll...
*The waitress comes by and sets his coffee down, lingering and sighing*
Dean: *Looks up* Can I help you?
Waitress: No...*sigh* I'm just fine.
Dean: ...*Sarcastically rolls his eyes and smiles* You just gonna stand there all day and watch me drink my coffee?
Waitress: *Snaps out of it and chuckles* Of course not, I'm sorry.
*She blushes and walks away, giggling with her girlfriends*
*He takes another deep sigh and drowns his frustrations with a cup of hot coffee.*
Maybe Jimmy had the right idea...
*The thoughts begin to consume him completely, rushing in like an opened flood-gate*
Maybe life would be better without me. Megg would finally have Jerry and the two would be happy...
***With Megg***
*Jumps into the car and starts the engine, speeding down the road, scanning for Dean along the sidewalk*
Megg: *Pounds the wheel* Where are you?!
*She drives slowly down the road on the outskirts of town, only 10 minutes from the hotel and spots a man sitting in a coffee shop that looks just like Dean*
*She continues to stare, making sure that's really him and notices his ring (lol) glistening in the sunlight*
Megg: Yep! That's him!
*She pulls into an empty parking spot across the street from the cafe' and dashes across, walking into the shop*
*Megg scans the booths with her eyes from the front of the shop, looking for Dean*
*The waitress walks up to her, with her arms folded and her gum snapping*
Waitress: How many?
Megg: *Continues to scan the crowds* Oh, I'm looking for someone...
Waitress: What's the name? *Takes out her notepad*
Megg: *Looks to the woman, then the notepad* Dean Martin.
*The waitress, with wide-eyes looks to Megg, then to Dean*
Megg: What's wrong?
Waitress: I knew it!
Megg: What?
Waitress: And you are....?
Megg: Mrs. Martin.
Waitress: *Loses the teenager attitude and gawks at Megg* You're married to Dean Martin?!
Megg: *Sighs* Can you please just tell me where he is?
Waitress: Of course! Right this way...

I love you! "*She continues to stare, making sure that's really him and notices his ring (lol) glistening in the sunlight*" *And Megg spots Dean from fifty yards just by the glistening of his wedding band* THAT'S HIM! *she proclaims* LOL! I love the post! Wonderful! Poor Dean...I put him through so much trouble! Gee, where to go...*To Jerry and Dean* COME ON YOU GUYS, TAKE OVUH ALL READY! ************************************************************************** *The waitress walks Megg over to where Dean is sitting. The waitress stands close to the table, still sighing over Dean* Megg: *to the waitress* Thank you! Waitress: Is this going to be on one bill? Megg: *goes to sit down* Dean: No...*stands up and throws some money down on the table, walking out* Megg: *turns and looks at Dean in disbelief. She looks at the waitress with one of those, "Can you believe this man?!" looks. She runs out after him* Dean, wait! Dean: *keeps walking* Megg: *catches up with him* Dean! Dean: *stops and turns to Megg, angrily* Megg: Just listen...would you? Dean: Listen to what? About how much you love HIM[/i]?! Is that what you want me to listen to, because if it is...save your breathe...I don't want to hear it! Megg: *sighs* So that's it? You don't even give me a chance to speak, you just put words in my mouth?! Dean: *gets huffy* Oh please! Nobody put words into your mouth, Megg! Megg: No, Dean? I believe you just did...but fine...you know what...you wanna play that game....fine Dean...I can play...I KISSED HIM! Is that what you wanted to hear? Does that make you feel better now?! Dean: *purses his lips, trying not to get angry. He crosses his arms and looks at Megg* You...you kissed....HIM!? Megg: Yup...*looks him in the eyes* I.....Kissed....Jerry! Dean: How could you? *looks back, hurt* Megg: Look...*she gazes down at the sidewalk* To tell you the truth...HE kissed me... Dean: I'll kill 'im! *he storms off, but before he can get started Megg pulls his arm and stops him* Megg: PLEASE! Dean don't...I'm just as much at fault as he is...I kissed him back... Dean: *pulls his arm away from Megg* Why did you marry me then Megg? Why?! Is this your idea of some joke? You know what...*he takes off his ring. He holds it in his hand and takes Megg's wrist, turns her hand over so it's palms up, opens up her fingers, and places his wedding band in her hand, and closes her fingers around it* Go be with him then....If you love him...go be with him...*he walks away* Megg: *stands in stunned silence, unable to move, the impact of what just happened, sinking in*

*Deeds looks over at Kim and gently runs his finger down the outline of her face as she sleeps. He leans over and gives her a tender kiss on the lips then gets up and walks to the bathroom*
*He closes the door behind him and jumps into the shower.*
*After a few minutes, he turns the water off and throws on a cream colored shirt and dark, pin-stripped pants then walks downstairs to the kitchen*
*He takes out a couple pots and pans and reaches into the refrigerator for a few eggs, bacon, some toast and orange juice*
*He starts the stove up and begins cooking up a delicious breakfast for Kim*
*Upstairs, Kim slowly begins to wake to the sound of clanging pots and pans*
*The smell of scrammbled eggs, freshly cooked bacon and lightly toasted bread warms the house and fills the air with a homey scent*
*Kim throws on some clothes and walks down the stairs to the kitchen, finding Deeds cooking up a storm*
*She sneaks up begins him and runs her hand around his waist, kissing the side of his cheek*
*He turns around and gazes into her eyes, smiling*
*She runs her fingers through his damp hair and the two share a passionate kiss*
*He spins her around and leads her over to the kitchen table, pulling out the chair and extending his hand for her to sit down*
*She smiles and sits down.*
*He brings a plate over to her and sets one down across the table for himself*
*She looks down at the food and smiles weakly, a tear forms in the corner of her eye*
*Memories begin to flood her thoughts; thinking back to the meal she prepared for the two only hours after they became husband and wife*
Funny how life doesn't usually take the easy routes...we're 8 months late, but it's still better than anything I could have dreamed...
*He looks over at her and reaches across the table and takes her hand, resting it in his*
Deeds: What's wrong?
*She looks up and smiles, wiping the tear from her eye*
Kim: Not a thing, darling...not a thing.
***Back with Dean***
*Dean quickens his pace down the street and walks to the hotel*
*Megg sits down hard in one of the booths and stares at the ring*
*Tears well up in her eyes as she realizes the mistakes that already litter her new marriage*
Megg: Why did I have to kiss him? I should have thrown him out sooner. Dean was right. I mean, he shouldn't have knocked him out, but he was only trying to help....
*She throws her arms up on the table and burries her head*
Megg: Oh Dean, I'm so sorry...
*A waitress walks up to Megg and puts her hand on her shoulder*
Waitress: You okay, sweetie?
Megg: *Raises her head and storms out* No! He just left me! How can I be all right?!
*Megg jumps into her car and speeds down the road, heading for the hotel*
*She parks the car and walks angrily up the steps and into the room*
*She stops when she sees Dean in the room, packing his things. The anger subsides and she immediately begins feeling pain again*
Megg: Dean...
*Dean continues to pack, trying to ignore her*
Megg: *Walks up to Dean* Please stop, Dean. I'm sorry...
Dean: *Stops and turns around* Megg, I've had enough of this game, all right. You and Jerry go be with each other. I can't--
Megg: I threw him out, Dean.
*Dean stands quiet, then turns around, continuing to pack*
Dean: He'll come back...he always does.
Megg: I told him I never wanted to see him again. I told him I loved you, Dean.
*She turns him around and gazes deep into his eyes*
Megg: And I do love you, Dean. You're the only one I'll ever love.
Dean: *Snears* But you love him, too.
Megg: No, Dean. I thought I loved him. I used to, but things have changed in the last 8 months. I realized you're the only one I love.
Dean: *Still leary, but wanting to believe her* Really?
Megg: Yes. Dean, I love you so much. I can't be with any other man because you're the one who's captured my heart. It's been that way since we were kids. I've never loved any man the way I've loved you, Dean Martin, and you better believe that.
Dean: *Smiles* I do...
Megg: *Kisses him softly* Good.

*After the two eat and have finished cleaning up the kitchen, Deeds and Kim stand by the sink. Kim looks out the window over the sink and into the yard. She sees Bounce laying on the sidewalk that runs close to the house and to a little screened in brick floored patio with a picnic table. She starts thinking of Jimmy and how kind he was to her.*
Kim: Darling, we should invite Megg, Dean, and Jimmy over...
Deeds: *takes her hands in his and looks into her eyes* We can invite Megg and Dean over....
Kim: And what about Jimmy? I'd love to thank him for being so kind to me...he's such a gentle soul!
Deeds: *looks down at their hands for a moment and back into her eyes. He slowly strokes her hands with his thumbs* Kim....Jimmy...*he takes a deep breath* Jimmy committed suicide shortly after you went into a coma...
Kim: *her eyes grow wide and her mouth falls open* Oh, Jimmy! *is all she can manage to say*
Deeds: Before he did it...he left me an envelope full of papers. He told me to have you open them when you woke up. I kept them for you, but when I read the news of his passing, I was curious as to its contents and opened it. He left the house and all of the property, including financial property, to you, Kim. It's all yours...
Kim: *stands in disbelief, her knees feeling weak, she all of a sudden feels cold and clamy. Her stomach is churning* Why....
Deeds: I think he loved you too much and couldn't stand seeing you in such a state...I left all of the papers in that desk over there, the top drawer. That and the bed were the only pieces of furniture that weren't taken out by the authorities when they were carrying on the inquisition...
Kim: *takes her hands away from Deeds and walks slowly and carefully over to the desk. She sits down carefully, her knees feeling like they could give out at any moment, from the shock of the recent news. She turns and brings her knees under the desk and opens the top drawer. She pulls out a whole stack of papers and looks them over. She sees the deed to the house and all of the securities, loans, bank accounts, stocks, and bonds he's ever owned and still owns. She looks those over and finds the envelope with her name on it.*
Deeds: *walks over and stands behind her, his hands on her shoulders* I read it...I'm sorry, but I wanted to know what his motives were..
Kim: *nods and takes the letter out of the envelope and reads it over. Her heart skips a beat as memories of that kiss come flooding back, memories of their meeting. She folds the letter back up and puts it back in its envelope. She sticks the papers back into the drawer and she opens the second drawer.*
Deeds: I didn't go through any of that. All of the property was left in your name and I figured it was only right for you to be the one to look it over...
Kim: *takes out a pile of papers, all neatly folded in half and tied with a string. She sets them on the desk and her fingers nimbly work at untying the string. She picks up the first paper and unfolds it. Her eyes scan the neat handwriting, but not really reading the words at first. She recognizes it as Jimmy's handwriting and she goes back and reads it to herself*
Kim, Sometimes when I find myself in a frantic situation, life seems to become very fragile. When I would find myself in such situations, I would just imagine you there and then I didn't have to face life alone. I know you will want to know why, and I'll tell you...sometimes, I would look in the mirror and there would be nobody there. I'd just keep staring and staring, but it still wasn't me. And why did I leave you everything? I wish for you to remember love, not just the sort of love and friendship I had for you, but because love is what it takes to dream, Kim, and you and Longfellow are just starting out on your dreams. I want you to be happy, Kim. I just ask one thing in return, that you imagine me there. When the curtains are swayed by an unexpected summers breeze, imagine me there. When you look out the window and see the shadows dancing in the moonlight, imagine me there, if even for a moment...imagine. Kim, I hope your dawn finds you without heartache and may you and Deeds lead a long and prosperous life together. I'll never forget Kim....
*Kim puts the letter down and stands up. She turns and wraps her arms around Deeds. She buries her face in the crook of his neck and cries for the loss of "such a gentle soul.*
Kim: *muffled, her face still buried* I can't keep it all...it's not right...I can't accept it...
***Back with Megg and Dean***
*Dean gives her a kiss back, and wraps his arms around her.*
Megg: Oh...*she breaks free of his embrace and walks over to the table where she laid her purse and keys. She picks up the purse and walks back over to Dean* I almost forgot...*she reaches inside the purse and takes out his wedding ring. She holds it up and lays the purse down on the bedroom dresser.*
Dean: *looks at it and smiles*
*Megg takes Dean's left hand. She looks lovingly into his eyes and slides the ring back onto his finger. She looks at his hand, now with the ring restored and smiles. He wraps his arms around her and the two share a passionate kiss. Megg envisions their first kiss, how young they were then...Who knew it would turn out like this...*

*Deeds tries his best to comfort her, holding her tight and whispering words of support in her ear* *She slowly pulls away and smiles, wiping her tears* Kim: I'm sorry, darling. I--I just... Deeds: *Runs his finger down her cheek, drying the tears with his shirt* Don't worry, Kim. I understand. *Pulls her back into his embrace and holds her tight* I understand... Kim: Is there anywhere we can go? I mean, we can't live with Dean and Megg all our lives... Deeds: *Pulls back just a bit and gazes into her eyes, running his hand down her hair* I'm sorry, sweetheart, it looks like this is it. Kim: *Looks around and smiles weakly* I guess this isn't so bad. I mean, it is homey, and at least we have each other, right? *Deeds smiles and holds her close* Deeds: We'll always have each other, Kim. Always... Director: CUT! And print! Good job, guys. Well done. *Kim removes herself from Gary's arms and smiles sweetly* Gary: *Releases his hands from around Kim's waist and pulls back shyly* Thanks, Kim. It's been fun. Kim: *Smiles* Sure has, Gary. Thank you for everything... *Megg and Paul come out from behind the set and congratulates everyone; big smiles and happy tears* Kim: Oh Megg! You were perfect! I teared up just everytime you did! Megg: *Hugs Kim and smiles* Oh, you were perfect, too, honey. That coma scene just about killed me! I was was honestly crying! Paul: *Shakes Gary's hand and gives him a pat on the back* Good job, pally. Gary: *Smiles, shaking Paul's hand* Thanks, Paul. Say, you and Megg were great out there! Paul: *Laughs* Us?! You and Kim were amazing! I don't think any couple could top you two...those emotions all seemed so real! *Gary steals a quick glance at Kim and smiles* Gary: Yeah... *He looks back to Paul* Gary: Well gosh, so were you and Megg! Geez, you two were on fire! And that hook on Joe, boy! That looked real! *Joseph Levitch, the director walks up to the two men and places his hand on Paul's shoulder* Joseph: *Laughs* It was! *Chuckles, placing his hand over his jaw and massaging it* I'll need ice on it for a month! *Hours later, after the entire studio is empty and the crew has gone home, the 5 remain sitting on the floor, laughing and reminiscing about the very beginning of their friendship* Megg: *Laughs* And rememeber when I first met Joe, here? *Throws her head back and places her hand on his knee* He kept fumbling over his words, I thought he was one of those mentally handicapped janitors! Joseph: Yeah, *sighs* I was really nervous. It's my first picture! I've never done anything like this before... Paul: Well you sure did act the part well...*raises a brow* a little too well... *They all laugh as Joseph looks at his watch* Joseph: Say, I better get going, it's getting late. *Joseph stands up and gives everyone a hug* Joseph: I really want to thank all of you...it's been such an amazing experience; I couldn't have done it without you. Kim: Awww, Joe. *Leans in and gives him a hug* We'll really miss ya'. You and your crazy personality. *Everyone gives a half-hearted chuckle; all filled with the excitement of an accomplished film and the sadness of leaving all the fun they've all been so used to for quite a few months* Joseph: *Clears his throat, choking back the tears* Well, thanks guys. I'll see ya'. *Joseph leaves the studio, leaving Paul, Kim, Megg and Gary in silence* Megg: Well... Paul: Yeah..........I guess I better get going. Megg: Yeah, me too. *Megg gives Kim a hug and chuckles to herself* Megg: We'll see each other again, Kim...don't worry. Kim: *Smiles weakly* I hope so, Megg. *Megg walks to her dressing room to grab her things* Paul: *Watches as she walks away, thinking maybe this is his chance to tell her how he truly feels. Everytime he's said 'I love you' it's always been by a script, but this time...he wants to tell her that everytime the words were written on paper...they were written on his heart, first* I think-- Gary: *Nods* Go get her, Paul... Paul: *Smiles proudly, chasing after her* *Kim and Gary stand alone, in silence.* Kim: Well, I guess I bet-- Gary: Kim? Kim: Yeah? Gary: *Looks down* I was wondering-- Kim: Yes? Gary: Well, I was wondering if...if you would like to go for a cup of coffee with me. Kim: At this time of night? Gary: I-- Kim: I'd love to... *He looks up and smiles* Gary: Yeah? Kim: *Smiles* Yeah... *He holds out his arm as she wraps her arm around his, the two walking off towards the exit* *Just as they reach the door, the lights in the studio go out.* *They open the door, moonlight seeps in through the crack in the door and fades as the the two walk out* ***THE BEGINNING***
