CHRISTMAS EVE 1999
2355 LOCAL
HARM’S APARTMENT
Harm was alone in his apartment. He had been staring out the window for how long he didn’t know. It was a while though cause the cold beer was now completely thawed and we warm. He grimaced as he thought [Mac would know EXACTLY how long I’ve been here.]
Usually he did his reflections on New Year’s Eve but meeting Jenny Lake tonight at the Wall had set him thinking and as usual his thoughts eventually drifted to Mac.
Would he ever find peace? The clock chimed midnight. It was Christmas day. He turned from the window and looked round the apartment. The place was dark, as he had left the lights off. It was also empty – like him.
In the wee hours of Christmas morning why did his thoughts dwell on this woman even when he was with others?
Mac: Go to Jordan; you owe it to
her for all kinds of reasons. And don't tell her you came to me first.
Harm: Thanks, Mac, you're a good friend.
Mac: Yeah, that's me, the girl next door.

Mac: (about Jordan) It seems
like she takes good care of you.
Harm: You both do.
+ + +
Mac: It's getting dark in here.
Harm: Is it? Why don't you come with me and help me pick out a new car
with Bud and Harriet?
Mac: Isn't that something Jordan should be doing?
Harm: Mac, you pick out a new car with your girlfriend, you might as well buy
her a ring.

Skipper: You two are quite a
team. You always work this well together?
Mac: Well, when he lets me do the talking.
+ + +
Captain: Commander, Major, you
make a hell of a team.
Harm: Thank you, Sir.
Mac: I guess we do make a pretty good team.
Harm: When you listen to me we do.
+ + +
Mac: We've worked together for three
years, traveled together, slept together. . . .in the same room.

He took a sip of the beer and cringed. He’d forgotten that the drink had got hot. He dumped the liquid into the kitchen sink.
He headed to bed and wondered what the year 2000 had in store for him. It couldn’t be worse than 1999 could it? He fell asleep blissfully unaware of what was to unfold…
Mac: Harmon Rabb! You're a prude!Harm: I am not! Look, I don't care if you wanna go topless.Mac: You do if it's in front of Mic.Harm: You work with the guy Mac! You wouldn't go topless in front of me would you? Mac: Is that a request? Harm: (looks up at the bridge) You know they wrote eternity on this bridge on New Year's Eve?Mac: Is that how long we're going to wait?
