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?
