LESLIE: Akilah, baby, you've got to get ready for your brother's party. AKILAH: I'm not going. LESLIE: Baby, go get dressed. AKILAH: Mom, I'm not going. LESLIE: I'm not gonna repeat myself. You're going to your brother's party, and that's all there is to say. AKILAH: Mom! LESLIE: It's your brother's 18th birthday, Akilah. And I don't like the fact that he's living with Michael Hanley either. He belongs at home. But after everything with Derek, I am willing to compromise. And if I gotta compromise, then you do too. AKILAH: Mom. LESLIE: Get dressed, Akilah! AKILAH: Fine. Akilah exits to the stairs. The doorbell rings and Leslie goes to answer it, finding Julia Mitchell at the door. LESLIE: Julia, honey, it's good to see you. JULIA: Hi, Mrs. Moore. LESLIE: Why don't you run upstairs and hurry my daughter along? She's being slow. JULIA: Can do.
Julia exits to the stairs.
Fordham, IL SIMON: William, thanks for calling me, man. I've spent enough time in my apartment watching HBO. WILLIAM: No problem, Simon. I know the feeling. You just got to get out and meet new people here. SIMON: Well, it would help if I could leave Fordham. WILLIAM: But you can't, okay, you know that - SIMON: I know. You work with the government, and you're here, helping me with this new identity of mine. I just wish I could remember what my past life was even like. WILLIAM: It's best that you don't remember your life as...it's best you don't. SIMON: The witness protection program. This is weird. You know, I didn't know that they put agents with the people they were protecting. Though, I guess I'm a unique case with the amnesia and everything. WILLIAM: That's right. But as I was saying, why don't you just try to start new. There's that Denise Robertson down the hall. SIMON: What about her? WILLIAM: She likes you. SIMON: I don't know. WILLIAM: It might be time to start moving on. Just think about it. SIMON: I'll definitely give it a thought. Simon grabs another beer. SIMON: I paused the game...the Sox are in the final inning, I think they're gonna beat the Cubs. WILLIAM: They wish. I'll be there in a second. Simon exits.
WILLIAM: [Softly] Yes...I think it's best you don't remember your life as Sean Moore. Or mine as your brother, Derek.
SIMON: You almost ready, honey? VALERIE: Of course, I am. But I've been thinking...why don't we just skip the party? SIMON: Not you too. Your son was trying to get out of this earlier too. VALERIE: [Defensively] Your son too. SIMON: I know. VALERIE: Well, I was only thinking that maybe we could...enjoy each other's company? Now that I'm back at home... SIMON: After the party, we could watch a movie? Just hang out on the couch for a while. VALERIE: I didn't mean that. Valerie reaches back and unzips her dress, letting it fall to the floor. She kisses Simon. SIMON: Valerie, this is kind of sudden. VALERIE: You're younger than me. You're the one who should be wanting sex all the time. SIMON: I know! And I do, it's just that...you're always busy. VALERIE: Well, I'm not busy now. SIMON: Matt is waiting downstairs. I finally convinced him to go. VALERIE: Hmm...yeah. I think Matt can wait. SIMON: Fine by me. Simon unbuttons his shirt and tosses it to the floor. Valerie pulls him onto the bed. VALERIE: Oh, I just couldn't wait to get back from Paris and see you. SIMON: Paris? I thought you were in Rome. VALERIE: Rome...yes! I was! But then I stopped in Paris...for shopping. SIMON: Oh. VALERIE: But that's enough talking.
Valerie unfastens Simon's belt.
RIC: We're going to be early. SARA: Is that a bad thing? RIC: Yeah, it's bad. I hate being the first one at parties. It's uncomfortable. And I can't really help myself to the food if everyone's watching me. SARA: [Laughs] You don't have a problem doing that at my house. RIC: No. You're right about that. SARA: My brother and my cousin are going to be at the party. RIC: Oh, joy. SARA: They were going on and on about you at the office this morning. RIC: Why were you...oh, right. Your aunt and uncle's divorce. I'm sorry. SARA: It's fine. Thank you. I just...I want them to end up together again. Happy, like we are. RIC: Oh, like we are, huh? SARA: Yes. And I've been meaning to ask each other if we could... RIC: If we could what? SARA: Become exclusive. As in, I call you my boyfriend in my circle of friends, and you do the same. RIC: I'm not going to call you my boyfriend. SARA: [Laughs] Ric! RIC: Oh, fine. All right. I agree. Ric kisses Sara. RIC: I love you.
SARA: [Beat] I love you, too.
MARK: So sorry I had didn't have a chance to RSVP, Vince. But then again...you didn't invite me, did you? Mark stands and opens the drawer next to his bed. MARK: Or my plus one. Mark removes a gun from the drawer and smiles. MARK: The biggest surprise of the evening...
