Kevin has just asked Andy if he stands a chance with her and he goes on to ask her how serious things are with Antonio. She tells him that shes in love with Antonio...
Antonio walks in and stares at them from a distance. Kevin takes Andys hand in his. Antonio stands at the table waiting for them to notice him. Andy looks up and jolts her hand out of Kevins immediately.
Andy: (Startled) Antonio? I thought you were working tonight?
Antonio: I am. I wanted to talk to you.
Kevin: (Gets up and extends his hand to Antonio) Kevin Buchanan. You must be Antonio Vega, Ive heard a lot about you. (They shake hands. Kevin sits down.) Why dont you sit down and join us.
Antonio sits down.
There is a waiter at the table waiting to take their order.
Kevin: Neil, would you get our friend some (Gestures to Antonio, who says nothing) Coffee? (Antonio just stares at him) Coffee please."
Waiter: Sure Mr. Buchanan.
Kevin: Thank you.
The waiter leaves the table. Antonio is tapping his fingers on the table like hes annoyed. Andy tries to put her hand on his but he takes his hand away.
Antonio: Tell me uh Kevin what have you heard about me?
Kevin: Well I kept up with the Llaniview paper while I was away. Followed Andys trial pretty closely.
Antonio: (His arms folded at his chest) Ill bet.
Kevin: Also read where Uncle Bo recruited you out of Statesville to go undercover with Andy on the gun sales in Angel Square.
Andy: (Puts her hand on Antonios shoulder.) You know it was Antonio that flushed out the bad cop. You know he did a great job too, although he about drove me crazy. (Andy is laughing and Antonio looks like he is uncomfortable.) Uh He He cleaned up Angel Square practically single handily.
Antonio: Thats not even close to true. It was a neighborhood aching to turn itself around and its still got a long way to go. So what brings you back to Llainview?
Kevin: I was away from home long enough. I lived a lot over in England, but, it was time to come back.
Antonio: Back? To the Banner?
Kevin: Yeah. You know, learn globally, work locally to paraphrase. Now Id like to concentrate on the issues and problems that effect my community and the solutions that are out there. Basically Id like to pick up where I left off.
Antonio looks upset, knowing that he was with Andy before he took off.
Antonio now has his coffee.
Antonio: Ugh! Somebody here will have to teach them how to make a decent cup of coffee.
Andy: (Giggles a little bit) Well they certainly cant compete with you. You know Antonio and his family own the Diner over at Angel Square.
Kevin: By the High School?"
Andy: Mm Hmm..Jessica works there after school.
Kevin: Good, its about time she learned how to make an honest buck. Actually, I think shes more interested in staying close to your little brother. I ran into them earlier and they seemed how should we say t his happy together.
Antonio: Yeah your sister's a good kid. I like Jessica. (Looks at his watch and turns to Andy) Look, I gotta get back to the law library and finish that research for Nora, but, I really wanna talk to you.
Andy: Well well, I think we are about done here so um we could go.
Kevin: (Immediately jumps up from the table.) No. Hey, look you guys stay. I got plenty of people I could go say hello to. Take your time. (Antonio reaches into his pocket for his wallet to pay for the coffee) Antonio, thank you but Ill sign for it. It was very nice to meet you. (Kevin looks at Andy) Andy, it was great to see you again.
He smiles at her and walks away from the table.
Andy: (Sighs) Youre not mad that I had coffee with Kevin are you?
Antonio: (Grinning) No.
Andy: (Is holding Antonios hand) Antonio hey
Antonio: Look, lets just get out of here before I start thinking that signing for it is somehow different than paying for it. (They get up.) If I start getting this itch to buy uh tennis clothes in the middle of March and green golf pants...
Andy and Antonio leave. Both are laughing.
