Renee: "Why aren't you with Mac?"
Mic: "That's a question you'd have to ask her."
Renee: "Oh... Have a seat, Mic."
Mic: "You all right?"
Renee: "How do I look?"
Mic: "Left out. Get used to it, Renee. We're members of this family by acquaintance only."

*****************************************************************

In the hospital...

Harm: "Wow. How long's it been? Since we worked together?"
Renee: "You mean on that recruiting commercial?"
Harm: "Yeah. What? About a year?"
Renee: "Yeah, about that."
Harm: (laughs) "Wow, what a surprise. I appreciate you coming out."
Renee: "What? You didn't think I'd bother?"
Harm: "No. I mean, I'm glad you did."
Renee: "I called your mother, she's taking the evening flight. She'll be here sometime tomorrow."
Harm: "You know my mother?"

********************************************************************

Harm: "Mac... I'm sorry I missed the wedding."
Mac: "You didn't."
Harm: "Really? Now I'm really sorry. Have you set another date?"
Mac: "Ah, don't worry about it. It's the least of our concerns."
Harm: "Well, I'm told you were very instrumental in helping find me."
Mac: (embarrassed) "Not really."
Chloe: "Really. She led them to the raft, you weren't far off."

Nurse comes in and wants everyone out for a bit.

Harm: "Mac."
Mac turns around.
Harm: "Thank you."
Mac smiles.

**********************************************************************

Bud: "How are you?"
Renee: "Well, um, my boyfriend's forgotten our last year together, but he seems to have all 
of his Mac memories organized and catalogued."

**********************************************************************

Renee: "Harm... When you couldn't remember our relationship, were you wondering if 
I was someone you could be with?"
Harm: "Renee..."
Renee: "I know, oh God, I know. I hate myself when I talk like this."
Harm: "Then why are you doing it?"
Renee: "Because I'm afraid. I'm afraid not to."
Harm: "Is this about Mac again? Why do we always gotta come back to this?"
Renee: "You're right. Y- You're right. You need to rest. You do, so I'll go. I'll call you 
later, okay?"
Harm: "Renee, I'm not mad. I - I just don't want to talk about this right now."
Renee: "It's okay. It is. It's okay." (leaves)

**********************************************************************

Mac: "Mic?"
Mic: "In here."
Mac: "Hey, what are you doing? Where's your stuff?"
Mic: "In storage. I sublet my place uptown."
Mac: "Why?"
Mic: "I need space to think, Sarah, and I can't do it here."
Mac: "I don't understand. Why are you moving out?"
Mic: "Cause if we end it, I don't wanna have to come back here after the fact."
Mac: "Why would we end it? Stop walking away from me! We never talked about you 
moving out! You can't just make some unilateral decision without me! Okay, we're a 
couple, right? And couples make decisions together, that's what they do."
Mic: "Who made the decision to cancel the wedding?"
Mac: "We did."
Mic: "You did, with my blessing. Who made the decision not to reschedule for the 
following weekend?"
Mac: "I wasn't ready."
Mic: "And I wasn't allowed to vote."
Mac: "You're right. I'm sorry."
Mic: "Don't be sorry. Be honest. Why are you marrying me, Sarah?"
Mac: "Because I love you."
Mic: "Then why in a crisis am I always the last one you look to?"
Mac: "I don't know."
Mic: "You need to find out. And when you do we can have a conversation that'll make 
sense to both of us."
Mac: "Please don't leave."
Mic: "Let me tell you why you're pleading with me to stay. Not because I'm gonna break 
your heart, not because you love me too much to let me go. It's cause you don't want to 
be alone. It's not a good enough reason."

******************************************************************

At Harm's apartment...

Mac: "Hey, welcome back."
Harm: "Wow, you look miserable. Come on in."
Mac: "Maybe not."
Harm: "Mac, come on in."
Mac: "He moved out."
Harm: "He did?"
Mac: "I don't think he believes I love him."
Harm: "Do you?"
Mac: "Yes."
Harm: "Well, tell him."
Mac: "It's complicated."
Harm: "Talk to me."
Mac: "This is a mistake. I, I, I don't know why I'm here."
(the phone rings)
Harm: "Hang on. Hang on, all right?"
Mac nods.
Harm: "Hello? Just... just a minute. (turns to Mac) It's for you."
Mac: "Hello?"
Mic: "I was just sittin' here wondering who you'd go to first."
Mac: "Mic..."
Mic: "I got my answer."
Mac: "Give me your address, I'll be right there."
Mic: "No, I'm leaving. Closed up the office, catching the first plane back to Australia."
Mac: "You need to be on the other side of the world to think?"
Mic: "I'm done thinkin'. Bye, Beautiful."
Mac: "Mic." (to Harm) "He's leaving the country."
Harm: "Why?"
Mac: "I gotta stop him."
Harm: "Is it because you came here?"
Mac: "He just can't get past this thing with us."
Harm: "Maybe that's because we can't get past it."

********************************************************************

Harm: "Hello?"
Mac: "He's gone. He wouldn't even speak to me."
Harm: "Hey... hey... Don't blame yourself for this. Brumby has always acted 
impulsively. It was just a matter of time."
Mac: "What are you saying?"
Harm: "Look, this isn't going to make it hurt any less. But it's better now than 
six months into the marriage."
Mac: "Okay, I'm hanging up now."
Harm: "Mac! Where are you going?"
Mac: "I don't know." (crying)
Harm: "Come to me."
Mac: "Why?"
Harm: "So we can talk."
Mac: "We already talked."
Harm: "Don't argue with me."
Mac: "I need a better reason."
Harm: "You know the reason."
Silence on her end.
Harm: "Mac..."
Mac: "I- I'm here."
Harm: "I'm waiting."

**************************************************************************

Back at Harm's apartment. Mac knocks, Harm opens the door immediately.

Harm: "Mac, Renee's father died... suddenly. Heart failure. She just got here. We 
can't do this now. I told her I'd fly back with her. I should be, I should be gone a 
couple of days. I'm sorry."
Mac: "No, you have to go."
Harm: "I'll call you when we land."
Mac: "Don't do that to her. She needs you, give her your full attention."
Harm: "What about you?"
Mac: "I'll be okay. When you get back."
