Scene 1: Laurel Falls
(Danny and Michelle are lying on the bed at Laurel Falls. They've "done the deed" over the weekend, so we get the afterglow, of course. Anyways, they're cuddling and what not.)
Danny: My beautiful wife. Hello.
Michelle: I love it when you call me that.
Danny: Well, good. You better get used to it because there is no going back, you understand?
Michelle: (Laughs quietly.) I don't want to go back. I don't. I want to stay right here forever and ever and ever and ever, okay? (Think that was enough "ever's," Michelle?)
Danny: What if it rains?
Michelle: Oh, well, we'll just call the whole thing off.
Danny: (Laughs.) What?
Michelle: Let it rain!
Danny: Snow?
Michelle: I like the snow. You're in luck.
Danny: What if we get struck by lightning?
Michelle: I thought we already were.
Danny: You know, I've never thought of myself as lucky. Until now.
Michelle: I still can't believe how you planned all of this, our wedding, this...this. I mean it was magic, Danny.
Danny: Well, it was your dream. I had to make it come true.
Michelle: It was better than my dream. Sometimes it feels like I have loved you forever.
Danny: I know I've loved you forever.
Michelle: And now we're right here. Right where we belong.
Danny: Right where we belong.
Michelle: This is so perfect, so right. (They start kissing, and I have this feeling that they're going to make love during that 2 minute commercial break...)
Scene 2: Laurel Falls
(Michelle's on her stomach and Danny is massaging her back.)
Danny: I love you. I love your back. (Kisses her back.) And how soft your skin feels. And your shoulders. (Kisses her shoulder.) And this little area right here. (Kisses where her neck meets her back.)
Michelle: Right there. (Giggles.)
Danny: You make my feel like I can do anything.
Michelle: You can.
Danny: You know what? I want to get us our own place, our own house.
Michelle: (Laughs in what I think is a mixture of shock and disbelief.) What?
Danny: What?
Michelle: A house?
Danny: Yeah, what's so funny?
Michelle: What kind of a house? (One that you live in.)
Danny: Well, a very secluded house, for one. Very peaceful. Away from everybody. (They both laugh.) No one around for miles but us.
Michelle: Hmmm...that sounds great, but you know, we probably shouldn't talk about it. I don't think we should get our hopes up.
Danny: Why not?
Michelle: Because if it happens, great.
Danny: If? If?
Michelle: And if it doesn't...
Danny: It's going to happen. I'm going to make it happen. (Starts kissing her neck, shoulders, chest, etc. She's laughing/giggling--a cross between the two.) Danny, I'm thinking clearly now, okay? I'm seeing things a little more clear. I understand that you can't change things overnight. I mean, you tried that already. Look what happened.
Danny: Well, I still say things are going to be different.
Michelle: No--
Danny: Yes.
Michelle: They're not.
Danny: (Still kissing her all over.) Yes, they are.
Michelle: They're not going to be different, but I accept that.
Danny: No, no, freak. I don't want you to accept anything. (Did he call her a freak? I might be hearing things, but that's what it sounded like to me.)
Michelle: I accept that because I don't want to live in the future. And I definitely do not want to live in the past. (Laughs.) I want to live right here. (In the present or in the bed?) With you, right now, loving every single moment that we have together. (They start kissing again.)
Scene 3: Laurel Falls
Michelle: Oh, this has got to be one of the hottest days of the entire year.
Danny: Oh? I thought it was just. Don't you think?
Michelle: Oh, yeah. (Laughs.)
Danny: Wait.
Michelle: What?
Danny: Don't move.
Michelle: Okay. What is it?
Danny: I got it. It's an eyelash. Make a wish.
Michelle: Okay. (Blows the eyelash off of his thumb.)
Danny: (Barely audible.) That was good.
Michelle: Mm-hmm.
Danny: Very good. What did you wish for?
Michelle: Well...
Danny: Hmm?
Michelle: I wished that your mother and I could get along.
Danny: Well, you'll need a whole barrel of eyelashes for that to come true. (Both laugh.)
Michelle: I just really want to get along with your family. I really do. Maybe someday Carmen and I could just, you know, get over all of this and maybe we could be friends. (HAHAHA! Sorry about that...Danny gives Michelle a weird look.) Or...not. Not at all. No, or not...No.
Danny: It's alright. It's an optimistic wish. A very, very optimistic wish.
Michelle: (Laughs.) Okay. Oh, I just feel so happy right now. Now, it's like anything is possible. (Pauses.) Speaking of families, I want you to know that Rick is not always going to feel the way that he does right now.
Danny: He's not? I hope not.
Michelle: (Her voice perks up a little.) In the meantime, everybody is just going to have to accept the fact that we are together.
Danny: That's right.
Michelle: Finally. So...it's your turn. Make a wish.
Danny: No.
Michelle: Oh, come on.
Danny: No, no. I want to hear more of your wishes. Come on, I want to hear more of yours.
Michelle: Okay. I wish that this day and this feeling would never ever end.
Danny: Well, it doesn't have to.
Michelle: No?
Danny: Uh-uh. No, let's get out of here. As far away from all these people as we can and just relax and have fun and make love all day long. (They start kissing.)
Michelle: That sounds wonderful.
Danny: Okay. Well, let's do it.
Michelle: Hey, wait. Are you serious?
Danny: Yes. Let's go to San Cristobel. I am serious. Where we won't have a single care in the entire world. (Start kissing again.)
Scene 4: Laurel Falls
Danny: I'll tell you one thing.
Michelle: Hmm?
Danny: We've definitely come a very long way since we met.
Michelle: Yeah, I've been thinking about that.
Danny: Mmm.
Michelle: You know, I really think that maybe we are just...maybe we're supposed to end this cycle. So that our children and their children don't have to grow up the way that your family did. After everything that we've been through and everything that's happened, don't you feel like there's some plan, some reason, that we're together? Don't you think?
Danny: You know what I think?
Michelle: Hmm?
Danny: I think I'm the luckiest guy on the entire planet. I love you, Michelle Bauer Santos.
Michelle: I love you. (Kiss.)
Danny: You are going to love our island. ("Our island"?? What, do they own it or something??)
Michelle: (Giggles.) I can't wait.
Danny: Oh, we're just going to sit in the sand...
Michelle: Mm-hmm.
Danny: And we are going to watch the sunset...
Michelle: Mm-hmm.
Danny: Night (Kiss.), after night (Kiss.), after night (Kiss.).
Michelle: Mmm...
Danny: Just us. (And Reva!) You and me. (And Reva!) Mr. and Mrs. Santos. (And Mrs. Shayne Lewis Spaulding Lewis Cooper Lewis! Excuse me, if those are in the wrong order or if I left one out--there were just too many and it confuzzed me!)
Michelle: Oh, I want you to take me now. ("Take me now." Hehe...'Chelle, sweetie...he just "took you" 8 or 9 times supposedly.) Take me there now.
Danny: Okay.
Michelle: Take me...to San Cristobel. (They start kissing as the scene ends.)
