This takes place at Andy and Connie’s wedding/ that night

Rita is talking with Connie’s mom when Clark comes up to her

John- Hi Rita

Rita- How’s it going?

John- Can we talk?

Rita- Please excuse me Mrs. McDowell

Mrs- Sure, no problem.

Rita- What’s going on?

John- I really need to get some things off my chest

Rita- John, not now.

John- Later than?

Rita- yea we can go for a cup of coffee after

John- sounds good

Two hours later

John- Rita you ready to go

Rita- Yea, lets go.

They walk around the corner together not speaking a word. They get to the diner and sit down at a booth in the corner.

Rita- Ok John what’s up?

John- I was just thinking since it was Andy and Connie’s wedding and all, I miss you.

Rita- John I’m sorry, but I’ve moved on.

John- Oh, ok. Well than I guess that is the end of this conversation.

Rita- John what else do you want to say to me, it’s been months since we have been together. You are with that doctor now, what you want from me John. I can’t hang on to the past, I moved into the future already and you are my past.

John- First off I broke it off with Jen, it just was not working. Second, I don’t mean to sound obnoxious, but I haven’t seen you talking about any new “man” in your life.

Rita- I never said I had a man, I said I moved on. She takes a sip of coffee

There is a long pause

John- I still love you.

She pops her head up suddenly

Rita- What did you just say?

John- I said I still love you, and I always have

Rita- Woh there John. You are telling me you love me now, after you have been going out with another woman for what four months.

John- Rita I broke it off with her because I realized she was not for me, you were.

Rita- John, I’m really sorry.

John- Yea I understand. I’m going to head home. Goodnight

He puts his money down on the table. As he starts to walk away Rita grabs his arm.

Rita- Wait a minute, please don’t leave now.

John- Okay.

Rita- what you said was right, that I have no found another “man” as you would put it. I never realized how much I love you John until you were gone. You hurt me so much, I was there for you, I was there whenever you needed me but you let me go, and now you are saying you want me back. John, you hurt me too much that I can not take you back into my life. I’m sorry, but I hope we can still be friends.

John- I am not going to hurt you again. After the whole thing with my father, I did not want to burden my problems on anybody especially you. And then, well then I saw how much I hurt you and it could not come across me to say sorry. Well that whole thing with the doc, I could not stand being along, and since I knew you would not take me back when I was ready for a relationship, I thought that she was the next best thing, but I found out that that was wrong.

Rita- John, I can’t go through that much pain again, I am sorry.

Pause

Rita- Okay, well if we get back together John this will be it. If things work out for us that will be great, if the relationship ends because we realize it was the wrong thing to do we can still be friends, but if you screw me over, one of us will transfer out of the squad.

John- Fine. I can do that.

Rita- but you understand how much you hurt me before. I was there for you, and you just would not come to me.

John- Rita I am ready to come to you now.

Rita- Okay

She grabs his hand and they just smile

The next day, the two of them walk up to squad together. Connie and Andy are there, so is PAA John, Lieu, Baldwin and Greg. Everybody’s head’s turned and look at them. But they just keep walking in like nothing went on.

Connie walks over to Rita’s Desk

Connie- Rita

Rita- Yes

Connie- Can we talk in there (pointing to the coffee room)

Rita- Um, sure

Connie- Whats going on

Rita- What do you mean

Connie- Don’t play dumb with me, come on I know you too well. Why did you just walk up with John.

Rita- We just um.. came in at the same time that is all

Connie- You are lying to a detective. What do you think I am dumb? What is going on with the two of you?

Rita- we just um, went to coffee last night and talked things out. We are back together.

Connie- Oh my g-d what great news. I am so happy for you two.

Rita- Thanks. Don’t make a big deal of it. We aren’t sure if it is going to work and we don’t want it to be public knowledge.

Connie- Public knowledge are the two of you brain dead. You just walked up here together, the whole squad and the lieu saw you. Everybody knows something’s going on.

Rita- Well let them know something, but not what.

Connie- Okay.

Rita- so how was last night.

Connie- the most amazing night of my life

Rita- and when are you guys taking a honeymoon

Connie- Next week, he is taking me to Montreal.

Camera switches to the desks of Sipowitz and Clark

Andy- What the heck is going on?

John- Nothing

Andy- Right, ok. Tell me now.

John- I said nothing.

Andy- Right nothing at all, keeping lying. You suck at lying

John- Fine Andy. Me and Rita are trying to work things out.

Andy- Meaning

John- We are back together, well for now.

Andy- For now, that sounds like your five.

John- Well, we want to see if things are going to work out for a couple of weeks before we become serious

Andy- walking into a squad together, with the two of you smiling sure to me looks like things are working out

John- Well, I am optimistic

Andy- I am happy for you

John- Don’t you go making this public knowledge

Andy- you just told the wrong man junior

John- Andy!

Andy- Fine

It was a normal day after that. WELL, as normal as it could have been.

Lieu.- Goodnight guys see you tomorrow

All- Yea, goodnight lieu.

Balwin and Greg- Night guys, see you tomorrow

Andy, Connie, Junior and Rita- Yea goodnight

Junior- You guys want to go out for dinner.

Andy- Ah, you guys should be together. You guys have like um, five months catching up on.

Rita- Haha, come on. Its just dinner, the two of us have the whole night to talk.

Andy- Oooo the whole night

Rita- Come on lets go guys

Connie- Fine, we have a sitter watching the two of them. I just have to call and tell her that we will be home a little late, I don’t think that she will mind.

Commerical

They are at a nice little Italian restaurant. It looks like they are having desert.

Connie- This was fun, we should do it again sometime

Rita- Yea, I had a good time.

John- Me too. You about ready to leave Rita.

Rita- I’m ready.

He takes the coat off of the back of her chair and puts it on her

John- Goodnight you two

Andy- Yea goodnight

Connie- You ready to go.

Andy- Lets go home.

The next scene is at juniors apartment. The two of them are just watching television peacefully.

John- I am really tired and we have an early tour tomorrow.

Rita- Yea maybe we should go to bed

John- The couch is all made up for you.

Rita- are you kidding me.

John- well you said you wanted to take things slow.

Rita- That doesn’t mean that I can fall asleep with you.

John- Yea haha I guess that does not count. Lets go to sweatheart.

At the Sipowitz/McDowell Apartment

Andy- So, you have somebody to watch the kids next week

Connie- Yea, Theo wants to go stay with John Irvin and Rita said she would watch Michelle

Andy- are they sure

Connie- They were more than willing

Andy- Great and the boss knows

Connie- Yes, and he knows about the wedding but I really did not mention it. It would put him in a really bad position

Andy- I love you Connie

Connie- I love you too… like you don’t even know

Next Episode- John’s apartment in the moring

John- Goodmorning he kisses her on her forehead

Rita- Hi John

John- You have a good sleep.

Rita- Yea I really did.

John- I’m going to make some breakfast what do you want.

Rita- I’m fine, im going to go take a shower

John makes her coffee and eggs and when she comes out of the bathroom she sees him on the bed with the food smiling.

Rita- that is so sweet

John- Thanks, I am gunna go take a shower now.

Rita- are we going to drive in together.

John- yea.

Rita- When we were watching tv last night I was thinking about something and I think you should know

Rita- Yes
