Mason: Oh, just go over it with me one more time, Mary. You got into the room just a few seconds ahead of me.
Mary: The window was open. There was a woman sitting here, half-way in and half-way out. Her back was to me. The wind was blowing her dress and her hair and... I could see the rain outside and... and she was suddenly gone.
Mason: Aren't you sure it was Eden?
Mary: Mason!... No... What was it, you kept saying during the trial? You're "putting words in my mouth".
Mason: But you said that it was Eden.
Mary: No, what I said was that I recognised the hair and the dress.
Mason: Which was the same hair-do and dress that Eden had been wearing that night. And she was a blond.
Mary: Look! With her back to me it looked like Eden. Now that's all I'm willing to say. So would you stop... leading the witness?! I mean, really, I feel like I'm back on the witness stand at Ted's trial. You're being relentless.
Mason: I'm sorry, Mary. But I think you understand how important all this is.
Mary: I just tend to think that you are using me to get to your sister.
Mason: I'm trying to get to the truth, Mary. You ever gonna trust me again?
Mary: Give me time, Mason. I said that I wanted to believe in you. I NEED to believe in you.
Mason: Would it help if we... came out into the open?
Mary: What do you mean?
Mason: If we... openly acknowledged to the world and the... Capwells that we're a couple. Mason and Mary. Or Mary and Mason.
Mary: Is that really what you want?
Mason: Yes, it is.
Mary: What's stopped you up until now?
Mason: Ahm... Circumstances. Mary... see... look, there's somebody else that has to be told before... we can... tell the family.
Mary: Are you talking about an old girlfriend? Or... ahm... a girlfriend who doesn't yet realise... that she is a... a former one?
Mason: It's too complicated to explain. But I promise you I'll get everything... straightened out. Trust me.

Gina: Oh! Mason!
Mason: Gina, I've been looking for you.
Gina: Well, these were just delivered. They are two presents for you.
Mason: From "La Belle Mademoiselle Boutique"?
Gina: That's right. They are two beautiful dresses. Of course, I get to wear them. But you... get to enjoy them.
Mason: Ah... Well, what can I say?
Gina: Well, if you are speechless now, wait till you see them on me. Mason, why are you looking for me? It's not bad news, is it?
Mason: Ahm... No, no, Gina... I... Well, I just wanna clarify some things between us.
Gina: That's... between you and me? I've been trying to do that for a long time.
Mason: Yeah, well, I've been... letting things drift, and that's not fair to either one of us.
Gina: Well, you're a hard man to pin down.
Mason: Well, I've been kind of confused lately. But I've recently made a rather startling discovery about myself.
Gina: What is it?
Mason: That I am capable of loving a woman.
Gina: You just discovered that?
Mason: Oh, hm-hm, no I don't mean just making love to someone, Gina. I mean... I mean really loving somebody. Caring more for them than for myself. It's been a sort of a crash course in feelings for me. I've had a lot of catching up to do.
Gina: And now you've finally caught up?
Mason: Well, I have a ways to go, but.. the fact is, Gina, I am... ah... I'm in love. Totally... in love.
Gina:(startled) Oh...
Mason: Gina... I...
Gina:(hugs him) Oh, Mason! Oh, Mason, I'm so happy. Sweetheart!
Mason: What?
Gina: I... I... I just... I... I was waiting for you to say it, but I thought you never would. I love you too, darling. So so much! It's been worth the wait!
Mason: Oh, Gina...
Gina: And the first time I fell in love with you was when I had to go to the sanatorium and you stood by me. I desperately needed a friend and you were always there. My husband wasn't there, but you were. And you were so tender with me, yet so strong. I couldn't help loving you, Mason...
Mason: Gina, listen...
Gina: And then I didn't know what to do when you changed so suddenly. I knew that everybody in the family hated me, but I didn't care as long as I had you and... and then you deserted me, Mason. You... you put up this wall between us. And the only way I could reach you was by threatening you and... and tricking you, when I hated that. I didn't like acting that way with you, Mason. You do believe that, don't you?
Mason: Oh, I... I believe.
Gina: And then you started chasing after Mary. I remember that night I got all dressed up for you and... I ended up waiting outside of the gazebo, watching you try to make love to her. It hurt me so much.
Mason: I'm sorry, Gina.
Gina: No, but it's all right now, 'cause now I know what was happening. You were terrified of your feelings for me. So you just... pretended to deny them... but that's all behind us now, Mason. Oh, sweetheart, you've made me so happy. And I'm gonna make you happier than you've ever been in all your life. You wait and see. (Gina passionately hugs less than enthusiastic Mason.)

Mason:(detaches Gina from himself) Ghm... Gina, you've got to listen to me.
Gina: Oh, I will listen to you for the rest of our lives, darling. But... I know that I've been very willful and spiteful... but no more!
Mason: I... I... I never meant to hurt you.
Gina: Oh, I know that! You were so confused and scared. So was I. But after we are married, we'll both feel more confident. We won't have to pretend anymore. We'll be able to... just...
Mason:(helps Gina to finish the phrase) ...come out into the open.
Gina: That's exactly right. We could tell everybody just how we feel.
Mason: Aha... (Mason walks aside, his hand on his forehead)
Gina: And we won't have to hide anymore, Mason. I'll... I'll divorce CC whenever you say. I'll let you decide on that, because you are so smart. Mason, do you wanna big wedding?
Mason: I hate big weddings.
Gina: All right, then we'll have a small intimate wedding... like my first two.
Mason: Ahm... Gina... I... I really have some important phone calls to make.
Gina: Oh, of course you do. But I think we're gonna have to find another place to live. I... I really don't wanna be here anymore. I'm sick and tired of this place. So many bad things have happened here.
Mason: Gina, I really must...
Gina: Mason, you know, even in our worst moments I knew we belonged together. Because we're so alike. We think alike. Everything we want out of life we know exactly what it is and we're not afraid to go out and get it. I... I know I... I'm keeping you from the phone calls, Mason, but... well, now that I've got you... I just... don't wanna let you go.
Mason: Oh... I... I'll be back.
Gina: But there is only one thing that makes me... feel just awful. I'll never be able to have your children. But you knew that before you fell in love with me, didn't you? We can adopt... babies... if you want to. I love children. And I know you are wonderful with them. Remember when Brandon said he would trust you to tell him the truth? Just you. Well, Mason, you are the only one I trust here.
Mason: Ah... Gina... I'm... I'm sorry. I... I really have to go. Ahm... We'll talk later, OK?
Gina: I'll be waiting!

Mason leaves.

Gina:(talking to herself) Oh, yes!!! It was worth it! He is the best thing that's ever happened to me! Finally everything is coming together. I've had so many false starts. But I'm gonna make sure this one takes. Oh, I'm going to be your... wife, mistress, mother, partner, best friend! I'll be everything to him! And... he'll never wanna leave me!

Gina: Oh, yes. And what time does that one arrive? Oh! That would be perfect! Do you have two available seats? (notices Mason) Ahm... Hold it! Oh, wait a minute, Mason! I'm... I have to talk to my fiance first, and I'll get right back to you. Thank you. Bye. (runs after Mason) Darling! Oh!.. Darling! I have a marvelous idea!
Mason: Gina!.. I think it's better if you don't run around the house calling me "Darling".
Gina: Oh... (touches Mason forehead) Are you all right?
Mason:(annoyed) I'm fine.
Gina: Did your phone calls go badly?
Mason: No, no, I have a few more to make.
Gina: Well, all right, sweet... (lowers the pitch) ...sweetheart. But let me tell you my idea!
Mason: Wh... what is it?
Gina: Well, I want us to go away together. Just you and me.
Mason: Run away you mean?
Gina: Oh, no, not forever. It's just a vacation. It's like... a honeymoon in advance.
Mason: But, Gina, I... I don't know if it's a good time to take off.
Gina: But there's never a good time, sweet... (lowers her tone again, giving Mason a conspiratory look) ...sweetheart. But we have to make the time! We need some pleasure. We've had some terribly dismal months. I mean we're young and in love and life is so short!
Mason: Where did you have in mind?
Gina: Paris! I just called the travel agent. Now, we can leave from LA tonight and we can get there in time for lunch at the La Bras-se-rie. Oh, Mason, please, let's do it! Let's get away from this thing, and from everything, from everybody... Just you and me... Just for a while... Mason, please, come to Paris with me. Please...

Mason: Well, Gina, you sprung this on me so suddenly. I... I haven't had any time to think about it.
Gina: Close your eyes..
Mason: What?
Gina: Close your eyes. I wanna help you think about it.
Mason: Gina... (reluctantly sits down)
Gina: Go ahead, go ahead, close them. (Mason closes eyes, biting his lip.) All right. Imagine us driving from the airport through the French countryside. And now we are passing by some sweet quaint little country inns. And now we're going into Paris. Here we are. We're passing by the Eiffel Tower, and now the Arc de Triomphe, and now... the Versailles Palace.
Mason: It's not in Paris.
Gina: Oh... Well, it's close, isn't it?
Mason: Gina... What about Bandon?
Gina: Oh! Well, ahm... Brandon will come with us next time... But... this time I want it to be just you and me.
Mason: I mean who is gonna take care of him? Have you thought about that?
Gina: We have a house full of relatives, Mason. There's... there's Sophia, Ted, Kelly, Eden... oh, let's forget about Eden... Rosa will take very good care of Brandon for me.
Mason: Whoa... Aren't you afraid that... that she'll let Santana see him?
Gina: Well... I'll just talk with her... first and... I trust Rosa with Brandon more than I trust anybody. And then Lionel can come visit him. Oh, Mason, I've been a very good mother for a long time. I wanna spend some time being good at other things. (Winks at Mason and playfully nudges him) Mgh? Mgh?
Mason(chuckles): Ahm, but Gina... I... I wanna do what's best for both of us.
Gina: Oh, this is what's best. We... we need some... fun... and some... free time. Mason, we've always been so careful and secretive and so darn down impulsive.
Mason: Oh... Things are so precarious around here now, Gina. I... I... I don't wanna... rock the boat.
Gina: Mason, the boat is already capsized. And we're all splashing around trying to save ourselves. Oh, we've got nothing to lose!
Mason: Would that then ring true?
Gina: I'll tell you what. When we get back we'll be very serious and very discreet. But you know something? I've never been to the Louvre. You can show me the paintings and explain them to me.
Mason: Oh... that would be... amusing. (Walks away from Gina rubbing his temple, then turns around, his face alight with the idea.) You know, Gina, you... you're right.
Gina: I am?! You mean we can go?
Mason: Oh...
Gina: Oh, Mason! That's wonderful! I love you so much!
Mason: No, I can't possibly get away myself... right now. I... I mean, not with... with Eden still hanging on to control of the company and... then losing touch with... with reality at the same time.
Gina: Well, then what do you mean?
Mason: Well, I mean that you deserve a sensational vacation and you're going to have it. Gina, I want you to go to Paris. Right away.
Gina: Without you?
Mason: That's only temporaritly, I'll join you as soon as I am able.
Gina: I won't go alone. It won't be any fun.
Mason: Just think of a use you can make of the time. You could make the rounds of all the salons and the couturiers, get yourself a whole new wardrobe.
Gina: May be you're right. But by the time you get there I'll be ready to show off all the beautiful clothes I bought.
Mason: Right. And I'll be in a much better mood for having fun.
Gina: You will?
Mason: Yeah.
Gina: Then I'll do it. I... I'll call the travel agency. Can you drive me to the airport later on?
Mason: Well, of course.
Gina: Mason, when you come to Paris you will find a brand new Gina. You'll love me twice as much as you do now.
Mason: Haha... I don't think that's possible, Gina. You just let me know when you can leave, OK?
Gina: All right! Thank you! Darli... Mason!
Mason leaves.
Gina (to herself): Oh, this is so exciting!

Mason: I can't see what I am reading when you do that.
Mary(reads a headline): Acquiring the assets, liabilities, franchises and powers.

Mason takes Mary's hand and kisses her palm.

Mason: Oh, it's you.
Mary: Well, who did you think it was?
Mason: I don't know. How are you?
Mary: I'm fine, Mason. How are you?
Mason: I'm excellent. Ah... How's my father doing?
Mary: He is... very peaceful, which I am very grateful for.
Mason: Yeah.
Mary: Have you ahm... had a chance to talk to... ahm... that... that person that... you were concerned about... about you and me...
Mason: No... not yet. A... timing wasn't quite right.
Mary(nods): Oh...
Mason: But I will. I promise. As soon as it is.
Mary(nods her head again, but her disappointment is obvious): Well...
Mason: Mary, I... I know this all seems odd and overly secretive... but I...
Mary: Yeah?
Mason: Oh, no "But". That's what it is. Odd and secretive and I apologise. You see... I... I didn't know that I was gonna... meet you and fall in love with you, or I would've tied up the loose ends of my messy life a lot sooner. I promise to be neater in the future.
Mary: I'm not complaining, Mason. You just do... what you need to do in your own time. As long as it doesn't take too long. (kisses him on the forehead)

Mary leaves. Elated Gina runs over to Mason.

Gina: Mason! I did it!
Mason: What's that, Gina?
Gina: I made a reservation for the flight to Paris tonight. Return, open-ended.
Mason: Oh... Good for you.
Gina: And I called that friend of CC's. The one who has friends in the fashion industry. He's gonna make connections for me.
Mason: Great.
Gina: I'm making plans for the most romantic holiday you've ever had. You wanna hear the highlights?
Mason(noticeably nonchalant): Sure.
Gina: First, a dinner by candle-light on a boat going down the Seine, with our own private adjoining compartments.
Mason: Wow.
Gina: And then, a night in a Chateau right outside of Paris, where Napoleon brought... brought Josephine before they were married.
Mason: Mmm...
Gina: And then, a midnight horse-drawn carriage ride through Bois de Boulogne.
Mason: May be... a little chilly for that this time of year.
Gina: Oh, don't you worry about that. I'll see to it, that your body heat is kept as normally high during the whole trip. Come here!
Mason (reluctantly): Mm...

Gina kisses??? licks??? bites??? his ear.

Mason (a bit annoyed): Gina!
Gina: And that's only a preview of the coming attraction.
