Nora and Bo discuss Mitch Laurence.

Scene I - Bo's office

Bo: I've been over this file. Over and over and over it and I keep coming to a dead end. I wish Gabrielle were here instead of you.

Nora: Mind if I take a look?

Bo: Sure, if it will get you to leave faster. No, be my guest. Fresh set of eyes... Not as pretty as Gabrielle's. Couldn't help. Hey, whoa, whoa. What is this?

Nora: What?

Bo: Are you engaged? Damn that ring looks cheap.

Nora: Yeah. Troy proposed.

Bo: Boy, will he be sorry.

Scene II - Bo's office

Bobv When were you planning on telling me? As if I cared anyways.

Nora: Well you never gave me a chance.

Bo: Well I'd rather talk about this than Mitch Laurence. Man, I must've been really desperate to come up with that lie.

Nora: Well...

Bo: You happy? Say 'yes' and get the hell out of my office.

Nora: Oh, Bo, I'm exstatic.I really am. I want to tell people all about it...

Bo: Uh-oh...please don't tell me anymore. I could care less.

Nora; ...but then they're going to want to know how he proposed and it's kinda, you know...

Bo: It's... I swear that woman has a mouth the size of Texas.

Nora: Little Embarrassing.

Bo: Shut up! Geez, one simple question and you have to tell me your life story. It's standard operating procedure. The guys are always nervous.

Nora: I really didn't give him a chance to do that.

Bo: What'd you do? I'm glad I skipped lunch. She's making me sick.

Nora: Okay, I happened to be in his office and--I happened to find the ring.

Bo: You happened to find it? Why did I ever marry her?

Nora: Okay, just--we don't need to go into that.

Bo: Thank God.

Nora: We really don't, but I came clean.

Bo: Well that's a good thing, because you're a rotten liar.

Nora: [laughs]

Bo: Ohh, not the bunny teeth. Why did I have to make her laugh?

Nora: Thanks. [laughs more]

Bo: I want to go home to Gabrielle.

Nora: So, anyway, Troy proposed--on Christmas Eve.

Bo: And you say that like I'm supposed to care.

Nora: And I said, 'yes.'

Bo: Yeah, well, obviously you did. You're wearing the ring. What does she want me to do? Tell her she's making a big mistake? I love Gabrielle.

Nora: Yes.

Bo: And you're beaming. Go away, Nora.

Nora: Yes. It's really good to feel this way again.

Bo: I wonder if Gabrielle's wearing that sexy black dress. Good. Good. I'm happy for you. [huges hesr] I hope Gabrielle don't walk in and get the wrong idea. Ew, she's wearing that perfume I can't stand.

Gabrielle enters.

Bo: Oh, shit! I'm in trouble. I better think up something quick. Hey, just in time. I want to show Nora what a beautiful woman looks like. I was just congratulating Nora. She's engaged to Troy. Oh, Gabrielle, I want you so bad.

Gabrielle: Oh, well, that's wonderful news.

Bo: You smell so good.

Nora: Thank you.

Gabrielle: Well, best wishes to the both of you.

Bo: Can't that woman take a hint and leave already? I want to get Gabrielle out of her clothes and into my bed before Viki calls again about Mitch Laurence.

Nora: As a matter a fact, he sorta disappeared. I think I have to go track him down. So, I'll see you later.

Bo: Alright. I thought she'd never leave. Happy New Year.

Nora: Happy New Year, Bo. To both of you. [leaves]

Bo: DING DONG, THE WITCH IS GONE!!!

Gabrielle: So.

Bo: Ohh, she's hot! Hm? I wonder if my desk could hold the both of us.

Gabrielle: How do you really feel about your ex remarrying?

Bo: Why do we have to talk about her? I want you...now.

Scene III - Bo's Office

Bo: I am thrilled for Nora. Now lets go back to our apartment. You know, she's had a tough couple of years. I think that she deserves to be happy now.

Gabrielle: No regrets. No--what might've been.

Bo: Hell no! No. None.

Gabrielle laughs.

Bo: I love her laugh and her gorgeous smile. When Nora and I ended our marriage, it was really truely over. But you know the good thing about endings?

Gabrielle: No.

Bo: New beginnings. That should score me a kiss and much more.

Gabrielle: Oh. [kisses him]

Bo: She is the best kisser!!!
