Scene 1: Honeymoon Suite
Danny: So what have you been up to all day without me, huh?
Michelle: Besides, missing you?
Danny: Mm-hmm...
Michelle: Well, I stopped by Jesse's and Drew's.
Danny: Oh yeah?
Michelle: Found out they were getting married.
Danny: Married?
Michelle: Yeah.
Danny: When did that happen?
Michelle: It happened...I don't know, but it's real. I mean she's got the ring and everything.
Danny: Good. Well good for them. That's great.
Michelle: Yeah, and uh...Drew's actually going to adopt Max, which is going to be really great, if she can find him, which is a whole other story altogether, but I wanted to tell you that I may or may not have stopped by my favorite boutique to pick something up for you.
Danny: What do you mean "may or may not"? What does that mean?
Michelle: Okay, I did. I did.
Danny: And what exactly would you find for me at a boutique?
Michelle: Well, maybe it was more for me, but...
Danny: Uh-huh...
Michelle: No, it was definitely for you. (Giggles)
Danny: Oh, I see. I see. I see.
Michelle: So why don't you wait here and I'm going to go uhmm...get it.
Danny: Okay.
Michelle: Okay. (Michelle exits)
Danny picks up his cell phone and dials Josh's number.
Josh: Hello?
Danny: Josh, it's Danny.
Josh: Where are you?
Danny: I had to take care of some things at home.
Josh: Is the plane ready?
Danny: Yeah.
Josh: Now are you sure you can do this? You can get me in and out of San Cristobel without being detected, right? I mean, this--this is it. Tonight's it. My only chance to get Reva out of there.
Danny: Relax. We're on schedule. Meet me at the airstrip in an hour.
Hangs up phone, and hides his bag.
Michelle: What do you think of your present?
Danny: Wow...well, I...I like it. It's fantastic. You look fantastic.
Michelle: Well thank you. And you can tell me that all night, and keep on going till morning. (Laughs)
The light
They're kissing.
Danny: What are you thinking about?
Michelle: I'm thinking about how different everything is.
Danny:What do you mean?
Michelle: This room, this house. I hate...I hated it y'know? I hated this bed, everything. And now it's all so great, so wonderful, particularly the bed. (Sits on bed, pulls Danny down beside her.)
Danny: Yeah, it's a...it's a pretty good bed.
Michelle: It's a very good bed. So many times we've been in this bed together and last night was the first time that we ever made love in our own bedroom. It was perfect. I love you.
Danny: I love you. (Kiss; lay down on bed still kissing...Danny pulls away) Sweetie...
Michelle: Hmm?
Danny: I'm sorry. I got to...I got to get some work done tonight.
Michelle: (Half laughing) Are you serious?
Danny: I'm serious. I am. I'm sorry.
Michelle: You are serious.
Danny: Yeah I got to...I got to get on it, too.
Michelle: Can this not wait until tomorrow? Come on, let's finish up our honeymoon. One more night, come on! You have the rest of your life to work.
Danny: Well, I also have you for the rest of my life.
Michelle: Come on.
Danny: I'm serious. I really...I can't, I'm behind. (Kiss)
Michelle: You still want to work?
Danny: Honey...
Michelle: No, I...what...what is that? (Talking about the bag on the floor)
Danny: What?
Michelle: Where are we going?
Scene 2: Honeymoon Suite
Michelle: So, tell me where we're going.
Danny: We're not going anywhere.
Michelle: (Surprised) Oh. Okay. Where uh--are you going?
Danny:I can't tell you. I'm sorry. It's business.
Michelle: Well, please don't go.
Danny: No, there's nothing to worry about if that's what you're thinking.
Michelle: You know, any other woman who saw her husband pack a suitcase to go off to some undisclosed location would automatically assume that there is another woman.
Danny: That's not true, you know it's not.
Michelle: Obviously, that's not what I"m thinking. My point is that thinking of you with another woman doesn't terrify me half as much as you going off to do some business.
Danny: Well, there is no reason to be scared.
Michelle: There's no reason? Danny, your father and your grandfather both died doing business dealings, okay? You're going to tell me that there is no reason I should be afraid that when you walk out that door I might never see you again?
Scene 3: Honeymoon Suite
Danny: Michelle, you have to trust me on this.
Michelle: OK, tell me what you're doing.
Danny: I can't. Look this has nothing to do with the family business, if that makes you feel better.
Michelle: I'm really trying to understand.
Danny: You have to!
Michelle: I just don't understand why you can't tell me what's going on.
Danny: Michelle, the person this involves doesn't want me to discuss this. With anyone!
Michelle: Okay. How long are you going to be gone?
Danny: Just overnight. If everything goes as planned, that's it.
Michelle: I'm really going to trust you, ok?
Danny: Thank you.
Michelle: I do. I believe you. So take me with you.
Scene 4: Honeymoon Suite
Danny: No, I am not taking you with me.
Michelle: Danny, if this is legitimate then there should not be a problem.
Danny: Why won't you believe me?
Michelle: I want to.
Danny: I swear to you, I am not breaking a single law. In Springfield, the state, in the whole damn country! Alright?
Michelle: Okay, I'm really trying to understand ok? I really am.
Danny: You have to. You have to understand.
Michelle: Come here. I trust you.
Danny: Thank you. (Sighs) Look, I will be back before you even get a chance to miss me. (Kiss) Okay?
Michelle: I miss you already.
Danny: And when I get back, I will tell you everything. Every detail. I love you.
Michelle: Okay. (Kiss)
Scene ends with Danny walking out of the door, he pauses and stares at the door.
Scene 5: Honeymoon Suite
Danny: Michelle!
Michelle: What?
Danny: I can't keep anything from you. I won't.
Michelle: Okay.
Danny: Josh called me today. He says that Reva's been detained in San Cristobel.
Michelle: What?
Danny: That she's been charged with treason and that they've imprisoned her. I can't get in touch with Edmund. I don't know what's going on.
Michelle: Oh my God...
Danny: Josh needs my help. So I'm flying him into San Cristobel tonight. I promise you, I will be back in the morning.
Michelle: I don't like this. I don't like you going to another country with a different set of laws. What if something happens to you?
Danny: Nothing is going to happen to me. Look, I don't know what's going on with Reva. If the charges are real or not, but I do know what Josh is going through. You know when your brother took you away from me and locked you up in that psych ward, I would've made a pact with the Devil to get you back. But I don't want to worry. I will be back in the morning. You why I'll be back? Because there is nowhere else on Earth I want to be than right here with you. (Kiss; leads her out into the hallway.) I love you. (Passionate kiss. Show ends with Michelle looking very unhappy.)
