| Side of the street-Ally gets out of her van and walks up to Victor who's standing in back of his truck. Ally: Uuh-ah. (Victor turns around to face Ally) Look, if I offended u, I'm sorry. The truth is, I think if anything I was trying to protect Maddie. Victor: You were protecting Maddie, uh? Ally: Yea. Yea. I think sh'es getting very attached to u. And, I think that she's beginning to hope that you're going to be around forever, and since my pipes are good- Victor: Ally, there's no need to apologize. Just send me my money. Ally: Here's your check. You big terd. (Gives him the check) And, to think that I came here to ask u out. Victor: As if I'd be interested. Ally: Go, go to hell! Victor: Been there-your place. (turns around;Ally kicks his butt;he turns back round;they both smile) You kicked me? Ally: You deserved it. Victor: You know, just for your information, I have a college degree. I may not use the big words like ''turd'', but I'm in your league. Ally: Oh, listen to this. First, you accuse me of being an elitist and now you're flaunting your college education. You're a hypocrite. Victor: Go to hell. (Turns around; Ally kicks his butt; he turns back around) You do it again, I'll sue u. Ally: For what? A concussion? Victor: Are we done here? Ally: No. No. I'm still asking u out. Victor: Why? Ally: Because I have a thing for plumbers and I hate people who mentally challenge me. (pause) Because I like u, Victor. A little. We don't have to get carried away, but- You can pick me up in your truck. (they both smile; Ally leaves) Maddie: Victor's seen u many times before, Ally. He's gonna think something's up if your hair is neat. Ally's house-Ally is sitting on bathroom floor as Victor looks for her. Victor: Ally!(comes in bathroom) Ally. Ally: I can't do it.

(Victor sits next to her) Victor:(talks like an old man) Oh, gollee woman, I filled up my pick - up truck with a full tank of gas and brought your favorite A-track tapes. Ally: I know you're trying to make me laugh, but it's not gonna work. But, nice try. (pause) I thought that I was ready to move on to date. And, I'm just in love with somebody else. Victor: Larry? Ally: God knows, I wish I wasn't. (pause) I started getting ready for the date and everything just came back. And, I hate him. I really do. I hate him. I hate him for walking out. I do. But, I guess I just love him too much to- I just - Well, I really, really hate myself for- (pause) Sorry. Victor: It's okay. Ally: Go ahead, call me pathetic. Victor: You're not pathetic. Ally: Well, I feel really stupid. Victor: You want my college degree take on this or my pick-up truck response? Ally: Door number 3-the plumber. Victor: You'll move on because u have to.
