EXT. BEACH -- DAY -- SPRING 204

Grey day. Samantha is sitting on the beach reading "The

Secret."

CARRIE (V.O.)

Meanwhile, back in Lost Angeles...

She rolls her eyes, and tosses it down in the sand.

A EXT. BEACH -- A LITTLE LATER 204A

Samantha walks on the beach. The dog is walking with her.

A.

CARRIE (V.O.)

... Samantha had money, a career

and a man who loved her... Still,

she couldn't shake the feeling that

something was missing from her

life.

The dog runs up onto the neighbor's deck.

126.

SAMANTHA

No! Come back here.

205 EXT. NEIGHBORS'S DECK -- MOMENTS LATER -- SPRING 205

Samantha is on the neighbor's deck looking for the dog.

SAMANTHA

Where are you, baby?

She rounds a corner -- and comes face to face with Dante --

showering in the outdoor shower. Water runs over his NAKED

and PERFECT BODY. He sees her and smiles a hot smile. She is

thrown -- overwhelmed.

SAMANTHA (CONT'D)

Sorry -- I'm your neighbor and my

dog ran up on your dick--

(catching herself)

--Deck!

There is a GROWL sound. She looks -- the dog is humping a

towel on the deck floor. She looks back at Dante.

DANTE

Want to join me?

Speechless -- She shakes her head: No -- she scoops up the

dog and hurries away. He calls after her.

DANTE (CONT'D)

I'm Dante. Stop by -- anytime.

Samantha takes a peek back and continues on her way.

206 EXT. BEACHOUSE/BEDROOM -- DAY -- SPRING 206

Samantha is having lunch outside while on the phone.

SAMANTHA

Smith is interested - but the dates

will have to work with the series.

Dante appears on the deck next store in a wet suit. He unzips

it while looking at Samantha. SAMANTHA dips a chip in

guacamole and eats it. He pulls his wet-suit down and smiles

at her. She dips another chip. He steps out of it and looks

at her -- almost torturing her. She looks the other way, dips

another chip in guacamole and eats it. Then another.

127.

207 INT. BEACHOUSE/KITCHEN -- DAY -- SPRING 207

Samantha is in the kitchen on the phone. She picks up a slice

of messy pizza from a delivery box on the table.

SAMANTHA

We agreed that no one else from the

show but Smith was going to be on

the cover.

She walks to the window and looks out. Dante is on his deck

putting on sun screen. He glistens. She chews.

208 INT. BEACHOUSE/DECK -- NIGHT -- SPRING 208

Samantha is in the jacuzzi -- she is looking up at Dante who

is on his deck smoking a joint. He indicates for her to come

over. She shakes her head: No. He walks away. She presses a

button on the control panel. The jacuzzi jets start. She re-

positions herself "on" them, then... She reaches over and

grabs a giant hot fudge sundae and... starts eating it.

INT. LOWER EAST SIDE RESTAURANT -- DAY -- SPRING 209

Miranda sits in the window -- having a cappuccino, alone. On

the table a legal pad with a list of PROS and CONS.

CARRIE (V.O.)

With her two weeks just about up,

Miranda's list of pros and cons

were equal.

She throws some money down on the table and takes a final sip

on her cappuccino. As she stands up, she catches sight of

herself in the mirrored wall. Cappuccino foam covers her top

lip. She remembers. She knows.

EXT. BROOKLYN BRIDGE -- LATER THAT DAY 210

Miranda stands on the bridge. Alone. She looks at her watch.

CARRIE (V.O.)

It suddenly dawned on Miranda that

Steve's list might have had more

cons then pros.

Just as this reality hits -- the CROWD parts and Steve is

seen RUNNING up the bridge... towards her.
