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.
