DIVONNE

Hey, thanks for giving me a jump-start on my paper. I would have failed if it weren’t for you.

CLIFF

Divonne, did you ever like me?

DIVONNE

Where did THAT come from?

CLIFF

This New York thing has me all frazzled...What if we fail?

DIVONNE

Cliff, those are the nightmares you have to suffocate. You’re a great writer and I believe in you.

CLIFF

I believe in you, too, but...

DIVONNE

We’re going to make it, Cliff, together.

CLIFF

I know we are, but I always thought we’d make it together, together.

DIVONNE

Oh, Cliff, honey...

CLIFF

We’re all going to share an apartment in New York, and the fact is, I still love you. I haven’t been with anyone since you, and I’m afraid I’ll never find someone to love me again.

DIVONNE

Yes, you will, Cliff. You’re not that dork you used to be when you were a freshman. You’re a writer now. You’re cute, you’re sensitive...

CLIFF

But not the kind of guy someone will fall in love with.

(MUSIC STARTS)

DIVONNE

Yes, they will.

CLIFF

How do you know that?

DIVONNE

I don’t know but if I were writing our script, everything would just fall into place and happy endings would be easy.
