<p><b>Cailin:</b> Ross, Im gonna go.</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> Go? Why?</p>

<p><b>Kate:</b> Im sorry.</p>
<p><b>Stage Manager:</b> Joey, onstage!</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Well can you at least stay to the end of the play? I mean, Ill go to
the airport with ya, I-I wanna say good bye.</p>
<p><b>Lauren:</b> (yelling from onstage) Where are you Vic?</p>
<p><b>Kate:</b> Flights in an hour. I-I gotta go.</p>
<p><b>Lauren:</b> Vic! Vic! <b>Vic</b>!!! </p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> (to Lauren) In a minute!!</p>
<p>[cut to the end of the play]</p>
<p><b>Lauren:</b> So this is it? Victor?</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah, I guess it is. (sees Kate is watching, he turns Lauren so that he
can talk directly to Kate, but still look like he is talking to Lauren) Listen, I ah, I
gotta say good bye, and-and I gotta say it quick cause this is killing me. One thing
you gotta know, is that I will never forget you. But, youve got things you have to
do now, and so do I. And so… Im gonna get on this spaceship, (smoke starts
pouring in from the ceiling, and a ladder comes down, with flashing, colored lights on the
side of it) and Im gonna go to Blargon 7 in search of alternative fuels. But when I
return, 200 years from now, youll be long gone. But I wont have aged at all.
(gets on the ladder) So you tell your great-great-granddaughter to look me up, because
Adrienne, baby, Im gonna want to meet her. </p>
<p>(The ladder retracts, taking Joey up into the spaceship for his voyage to Blargon 7,
and Kate waves good bye.)</p>
<p><b>Lauren:</b> So long, Vic! (waving good bye as the ladder retracts)</p>
