January 29, 2004:
Tad and Liza reunite as lovers.


[At Tad's. Tad is rehearsing what he's going to say to Liza.]

Tad: Liza, thanks for coming. Why don't you have a seat, okay? I just want to start by saying how much I care about you, and -- and the idea of you and me getting together -- well, thanks for putting it out there, you know? As an idea, it's great. There are risks. I mean, we've known each other a long time. Things could get complicated. That's not bad. I'll remember that -- spontaneous, open, honest.

[There's a knock at the door.]

Tad: Coming! [He takes a moment to prepare himself, then opens the door.]

Tad: Li--

[It's Krystal.]



[After Krystal leaves. There's another knock on the door. Tad picks up the Kama Sutra book that Krystal left and goes to open the door.]

Tad: Yeah. Did you want this? [He sees it's Liza and quickly hides the book behind his back.]

Liza: You called? [She walks inside.] Does this mean you've decided that you want me?



Tad: Just, for God's sake, forget about it.

Liza: Why are you hiding it?

Tad: I'm not hiding anything.

Liza: You're putting it in the drawer.

Tad: Listen, I'm not hiding.

Liza: Let me see it.

Tad: For God's sake. [He takes the book out of the drawer and hands it to her.]

Liza: "The Kama Sutra."

Tad: You happy now?

Liza: Is this why you called me over here?

Tad: No, you weren't supposed to see the book.

Liza: Because you were looking at it by yourself?

Tad: [Laughs] No. Yes. No. I mean, it wasn't like I was, you know, sitting around doing research.

Liza: Well, come on. You don't have to be embarrassed or anything. You know, I've been telling people I want to spice up my life, even though this isn't what I was really thinking about. But you thought about me and that's -- you care about me, and there's a... a bookmark. Wow.

Tad: Yeah.

Liza: So you put some thought into this here.

Tad: Mm-hmm.

Liza: [She looks at the bookmarked page.] Oh, my. Well, you know, I'm flattered that you have such confidence in me. [She smiles and Tad chuckles.]

Tad: Come here. We don't need the damn book, all right? You should write a book. Somebody should write a book about you. What you did was very brave.

Liza: Well, you know, I was just being honest that I -- I want you. So, what do you say?

Tad: That's just it. I was completely thrown for a loop, you know. I mean, now you know what you want --

Liza: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait a minute. What do you mean -- this is beginning to sound a little bit like a kiss-off despite "The Kama Sutra."

Tad: No. No, no, that's not what I'm saying.

Liza: Because, you know, if this is how you let me down gently, why don't you just sort of fast-forward to the finale and then I can leave with a shred of dignity.

Tad: I don't want you to leave.

Liza: Okay. This is the weirdest "stick around, Liza" I've ever had, but you know what? It's you. What do I expect?

Tad: Hey, you know what? Exactly. Right on the money. It's what you expect -- that's the problem.

Liza: No, that's not the problem. Look, this is where you're going to give me that whole monologue about how you know me so well and you can predict my every movement.

Tad: After what you did this afternoon, I'm not sure of anything anymore.

Liza: Look, do you want to make a go of it with me or not?

Tad: Yes. Absolutely. I just can't make any guarantees.

Liza: I don't want any guarantees.

Tad: I -- I'm -- you're not the only woman in my life.

Liza: I know.

Tad: And you don't care?

Liza: Right now, no, I don't.

Tad: See, that's the thing -- knowing you, that's just so weird.

Liza: You know what? Stop it. Just shut up because you're going to talk it to death.

Tad: No, but I -- I --

Liza: No, buhbuh, no. Shut up.

Tad: Can I say one thing?

Liza: Yes. [She gets really close to him and smiles.] What's your one thing?

Tad: I forgot.

Liza: Mm-hmm.

[They kiss.]



[Tad and Liza are kissing. They separate, and Tad is about to say something.]

Liza: What did I -- what did I say?

Tad: Shut up?

Liza: Yeah. There's plenty of time to talk afterwards.

[They kiss.]

Tad: Or during. Are you sure about this?

Liza: I'm positive.

[Tad smiles and kisses her. He takes her hand and they head for bedroom.]



[After they make love, Liza is getting ready to leave.]

Tad: About what just happened --

[They kiss.]

Liza: No. You know what? Don't -- don't -- we should have a moratorium on reviews and talking in general.

Tad: Usually I agree, but a couple things do need to be said.

Liza: No. No words, no.

Tad: Not even a few?

Liza: No. I think we might talk ourselves out of something will give us a lot of happiness.

Tad: On the other hand, we make the wrong assumptions, we could risk something that means a Hell of a lot.

Liza: You know, you make a point. Maybe we should do no thinking. No talking, no thinking.

Tad: [Smiling] That -- this is -- this is just one of my favorite fantasies, but it's just so --

Liza: Oh, come on, let's just go with it. Let's just go with it. Come on. [She laughs and they kiss.]

Tad: It's new.

Liza: It'll be something new, yes.

Tad: That's for sure.

Liza: So, until next time.

Tad: Yeah.

[She smiles at him and leaves.]
