Scene I - Bo & Gabrielle's Apartment

Bo: Why is she packed? I hope she's not leaving.

Gabrielle: Bo. I didn't realize you'd be home so soon.

Bo: You going somewhere? To the laundry mat, I hope.

Gabrielle: I decided to leave on my own. Rather than hang around and force you to throw me out.

Bo: That's very considerate. Those flowers on her outfit are driving me nuts.

Gabrielle: Selfish, actually.

Bo: How so? Man, I wish we were together. I could really use a good back rub.

Gabrielle: I didn't want to see the disappointment in your eyes again.

Bo: So you thought you'd slip out before I got home? I wish she'd slip into my bed.

Gabrielle: Now that you know I was blackmailing Todd, what else was there left for me to do? You'll never trust me again.

Bo: I love her accent. Going to be hard, that's true.

Gabrielle: For what it's worth, I regret lying to you.

Bo: I regret never sleeping with you. Why didn't you tell me the truth? I gave you all kinds of chances.

Gabrielle: Yes you did. And, as usual, I lied.

Bo: Stop looking down her blouse. Do you always regret it afterwards?

Gabrielle: I don't like getting caught.

Bo: She's so cute. Well, that's honest.

Gabrielle: But the regrets come from a different place this time. Wow, what a fool I was. I really, really believed that I could be the best fashion editor. I thought if I worked hard enough, it would just erase the devil's bargain that I made to begin with.

Bo: I want her so bad. She's so hot. So it didn't work, huh?

Gabrielle: No, of course it didn't work. It started out with one lie, but by the time it was over --

Bo: I tried warn you about Manning. You can't trust him. You can trust me.

Gabrielle: Yeah.You were right. The part that I feel worst about is that I've been a lousy friend to you, and I'm sorry. May I please go now?

Bo: I want to kiss her so badly.

Scene II - Bo & Gabrielle's Apartment

Bo: Why didn't you tell me what was going on? Why did she turn away? Do I have bad breath?

Gabrielle: I didn't want you to think badly of me.

Bo: There go my eyes again. Why did she pick today to show cleavage? Every time I think about it, I get more angry with you. That whole thing with pa. You could've wound up back in Statesville prison then. Didn't that convince you to change, even a little?

Gabrielle: I thought I had changed, Bo, but then Asa threw me out on the street and Al had his accident.

Bo: So when push came to shove -- What I wouldn't give to take off her clothes right now.

Gabrielle: I admit it. I didn't deserve the faith you had in me. You're right to be furious with me.

Bo: I'm furious with myself, too. You took that style editor job for all the wrong reasons. Well, I've -- I asked you to move in here for all the wrong reasons, too. Boy, that left a bad taste in my mouth.

Gabrielle: To punish your father for faking his own death.

Bo: And for putting us all through hell. Stop looking at her chest.

Gabrielle: And now I've put you through another kind of hell.

Bo: Everybody tried to warn me about you, but I wouldn't listen. So, you see, you're not the only one that made a fool out of yourself. Oh, what the hell. I like looking at her boobs.

[Knock on door] Gabrielle: That's my ride.

Bo: Damn, she's leaving.

Scene III - Bo & Gabrielle's Apartment

Niki: [As Viki] Am I interrupting something?

Bo: Well --Stop her now!

Gabrielle: I was just leaving.

Bo: No, Gabrielle. No. I'd like you to stay. Come on, Gabrielle say 'yes.'

Niki: Oh, ok. I just stopped by to thank you for telling me what Todd did to Blair and for, you know, helping me with my other little problem.

Bo: It was embarrassing going to that store to buy you emergency tampons. My pleasure. How did everything go today?

Niki: Well, sort of status quo. Anyway, I baked these for you. Muffins. I hope you like blueberry.

Bo: I don't eat muffins. I'm a cop. They're my favorite. Thank you. I'm sure Gabrielle and I will enjoy them...in bed.

Niki: Good. Bon appetite. Both of you.

Bo: Thanks again. She really gets on my nerves.

Niki: Yeah. [leaves]

Gabrielle: Did you mean that? You want me to stay?

Bo: Yeah. So, what do you say? Will you? You can share my room.

Scene IV - Bo & Gabrielle's Apartment

Bo: You know, before you moved back to Llanview, I was in love with someone. Whoo! I can't keep my eyes off her. She has a great body.

Gabrielle: Yeah, Melanie McIver.

Bo: I wonder if she packed her lacey underwear from Victoria's Secret? That's right. You met her.

Gabrielle: I didn't know her very well. I know the two of you broke up. I was never completely sure why.

Bo: If I hadn't broke up with her, you wouldn't be living here. She lied to me.

Gabrielle: Oh.

Bo: But, you know, she said the reason she had such a hard time telling me the truth was because -- maybe I just expected too much. She said I was too good. Those are her words. I wonder if she finds me attractive?

Gabrielle: I don't know, though.

Bo: She said I was some perfect guy that didn't understand that people make mistakes. Why am I talking about Melanie? She's as ancient as Nora.

Gabrielle: Oh.

Bo: And Gabrielle, you know, everybody makes mistakes, including me. I married Nora for cryin' out loud.

Gabrielle: There are mistakes and then there are mistakes.

Bo: And I've made both. But somehow, I've gotten this reputation for having impossibly high standards. You know, it's -- so people I care about lie and cover up so they don't disappoint me. Like you did. But I forgive you.

Gabrielle: I could have told you the truth.

Bo: But you were afraid I'd be disappointed, right? Maybe I really do expect too much of people. Maybe I really do have too high standards. I think maybe I ought to just -- take you to bed and show you how much I care for you.

Gabrielle: Lower them?

Bo: God, you're beautiful.

Scene V - Bo & Gabrielle's Apartment

Bo: That came out all wrong. I didn't mean I'm lowering my standards. I just -- Why can't I just take her to my bedroom?

Gabrielle: You want to change the pattern?

Bo: Exactly. Exactly. I don't want to blame other people anymore. Man, we were made for each other.

Gabrielle: So -- you really want me to stay?

Bo: You want me to write it across the sky? YES! If you want to.

Gabrielle: What do you want, Bo?

Bo: I want to hold you in my arms and make passionate love to you. I've kind of gotten used to having you around. What I mean is -- yeah. Yeah. Stay.

Gabrielle: Ok.

Bo: Now how am I going to get her to bed?
