Wednesday, July 5
Adrian: Hey, Gillian.
Gillian: Hey, Adrian. Thought I'd have the beach all to myself. Who was that man you were just talking to?
Adrian: Oh, that guy? Just somebody I met at the shelter. Pretty sad story. So what are you doing here?
Gillian: Oh, well, you know, it's such a beautiful night. I thought I'd breathe the air, feel the breeze.
Adrian: Hmm.
Adrian: Well, enjoy your solitude.
Gillian: Thanks. Bye.
Ryan and Gillian: What are you doing here?
Gillian: Ok, you first.
Ryan: Well, it was just such a beautiful night, and since I couldn't spend it with you, I thought I'd come here and, you know, just --
Gillian: Look at the moonlight on the water? Dream of a time when we can tell the whole world how we feel? Adrian thinks we're horrible.
Ryan: Yeah, well, he just doesn't understand, does he? He's very loyal to the Martin family. I mean, him and Jake are kind of family. Hey, listen, you want me to leave you here alone? I mean, you were here first.
Gillian: What was that? Did you hear that? Ryan: No.
Gillian: Oh.
Ryan: Hey, it's ok. I love being with you. It feels so right when we're together.
Gillian: I know. Why do I feel so guilty?
Ryan: Well, you won't once you talk to Jake.
Gillian: Ryan, how am I going to ask him for the divorce?
Ryan: Oh. Just tell him that you made a mistake. Tell him that I made a mistake, a horrible mistake by letting you go.
Gillian: I just wish I didn't have to hurt anyone.
Ryan: I know. Me, too. But we both know that protecting other people isn't going to get us anywhere. And I have been apart from you for far too long. And I'm never going to let it happen again.
Ryan: Know what my dream is?
Gillian: You mean this wasn't it?
Ryan: All right, you know what my -- I guess, my fantasy is?
Gillian: What?
Ryan: To be walking on the street with you, holding hands, waving to people we know. Stop and buy you a rose and give you a kiss in broad daylight.
Gillian: No more hiding, no more pretending.
Ryan: No more guilt.
Gillian: Do you think that'll ever happen, Ryan?
Ryan: I know it'll happen, Princess. It's going to happen real soon.
Ryan: You know, as much as we hate sneaking around like this, someday we might look back on it and kind of find it exciting.
Gillian: Exciting?
Ryan: Yeah, you know, sneaking kisses, forbidden love
. Gillian: It doesn't turn me on.
Ryan: Not even just a tiny, little bit?
Gillian: No. No, I want to tell the whole world how much I love you, that I never stopped loving you. But I have to tell Jake first, and I will.
Ryan: Well, I respect your bravery.
Gillian: It's not bravery, Ryan. It's just that at least he needs to hear it from my mouth.
Ryan: Hmm. Your mouth.
Gillian: Hmm.
[Car door closes]
Gillian: What is that?
Ryan: What? What?
Gillian: That's a car. Go hide, hide.
Dixie: Oh, Tad, look at the moon. Look.
Tad: Well. It's obviously not as secluded as we thought it would be.
Dixie: Gillian, hey, what's going on? What are you doing here?
Gillian: Uh -- wow, what are you guys doing here? I didn't expect to see anybody here.
Tad: Ditto. I didn't see your car in the parking lot.
Gillian: Oh, it's because I parked it down the road.
Dixie: So what are you doing here? Oh. Are you -- are you sitting here thinking about Jake?
Gillian: You caught me.
Dixie: Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. You must miss him so much.
Gillian: You know what? Don't worry about me. You guys enjoy the beach.
Dixie: Oh, you know, a woman shouldn't be out here all by herself. You know, anybody could walk by.
Gillian: Oh, Dixie, no, I'll be fine.
Dixie: No, it's late. Don't be silly.
Gillian: No, I don't want to spoil your evening, really.
Tad: No, no, we insist. Come on, we'll get plenty of moonlight walking you back to your car.
Dixie: Yeah, come on. We don't want you to be alone.
Gillian: Ryan.
Ryan: Hey. You came back.
Gillian: I had to.
Ryan: Where are Tad and Dixie?
Gillian: Oh, they -- they walked me to my car. And then I pretended to drive off, but I made a U-turn over the bridge and I came back.
Ryan: I wasn't sure if you'd be able to sneak back, but I waited here just in case.
Gillian: I have to tell you something.
Ryan: What? What is it?
Gillian: I think Tad is suspicious. All the way to the car, he kept looking at me funny.
Ryan: What do you mean? What did he say?
Gillian: Nothing, but it was like he didn't believe that I was here by myself.
Ryan: Well, he didn't see me. I'm sure he didn't see me. Are you sure you're not, you know, just imagining this?
Gillian: No. No. He definitely thinks that something's going on.
Ryan: Well, then we're just going to have to be more careful.
Gillian: Ryan, see, it's really dangerous because Adrian already knows about us and I'm not sure that he's going to keep it a secret, and I'm positive that tad won't keep it a secret -- not after everything that happened with Colby.
Ryan: No. Tad will definitely not keep it a secret.
Gillian: No, no, he'd be on the first plane over to Chechnya to tell Jake himself.
Ryan: So, what are you saying?
Gillian: We have to stop seeing each other.
Ryan: What? No.
Gillian: Ryan, I know, I know, but we don't have a choice here. It's dangerous. And if Jake finds out, you know, after everything he's been through --
Ryan: I know, but not to see each other at all?
Gillian, how am I going to -- how am I going to handle that?
Gillian: I don't know, but we have to try.
Ryan: Well, we'll be more careful. We'll see each other a little less often. Give me something, here, Princess, come on.
Gillian: Ryan, no, it is dangerous. I have to ask Jake for a divorce first.
Ryan: Is this what you want?
Gillian: No. No, it's not what I want, but we have no choice. We have to do this for now
