Scene 1: Honeymoon Suite
(Cassie and Blake are talking; Cassie's cell phone rings.)
Cassie: Hello?
Michelle: (She's in the honeymoon suite in a towel.) Cassie, hi. It's Michelle.
Cassie: (Disappointed) Hi Michelle.
Michelle: Sorry to disappoint you.
Cassie: No, I was just hoping that it was Reva, that's all.
Michelle: Did the plan work? Is she coming home?
Cassie: No uh Josh kind of put an end to the plan. He told Reva it was all a lie when he talked to her.
Michelle: Why would he do that?
Cassie: Because he said if the prince found out, I could put her in worse danger so...
Michelle: I'm sorry. Uhmm, listen, what are going to do?
Cassie: I don't know. Josh cut me out of the plan and he told me to stay out of it.
Michelle: Well, I guess he probably isn't going to like what I have to say to you too much then.
Cassie: What? Do you have an idea?
Michelle: Oh, I--I do. I definitely have an idea. Uh I just need to work out some of the details.
Cassie: Details? What do you mean details? What's going on?
Michelle: Well...(Danny walks in.) Uh right. So I'll call you back later. Okay great bye.
Danny: Hey.
Michelle: Hey.
Danny: Who was that?
Michelle: How you doing? I uh that was Cassie. How was your meeting?
Danny: Oh who cares? If I had known you'd be wearing my favorite outfit, I would've been home alot sooner.
Michelle: Well, I put in on especially for you.
Danny: Why'd you cover it up with a towel? Hmm? (Starts taking the towel off.)
Michelle: (Laughs) Wait a second. First things first. Where are you going with this?
Danny: Oh alright. You're right, you're right, you're right...How about this for starters? (Kisses her)
Michelle: Very good.
Danny: Mm-hmm. And this? (Kisses her neck)
Michelle: (Laughs) Okay, even better. But that's not exactly what I was talking about. I actually, I have a question I need to ask you.
Danny: Oh, the answer's 'yes.'
Michelle: (Laughs) I haven't even asked you yet.
Danny: How could I say no to you?
Michelle: Come on, I'm serious. This isn't just a 'yes' or 'no' question.
Danny: Okay.
Michelle: Okay.
Danny: Alright what?
Michelle: Do you see yourself as more of a dashing knight or a powerful sultan?
Danny: (Unbuttoning his shirt; has a confused look on his face.) Well, that's not exactly the question I was expecting. What are you talking about?
Michelle: Remember how Edmund kind of casually mentioned the masked ball in San Cristobel?
Danny: Yeah...
Michelle: I was kind of thinking it'd be really, really fun and really, really romantic if we took the yacht and got all dressed up and went.
Danny: Really?
Michelle: Yeah, and we can even get there early and spend some time on the beach. If that's what you want.
Danny: Come on.
Michelle: What?
Danny: You don't want to go to that ball.
Michelle: Yes, I do.
Danny: The only reason you want to go back to San Cristobel is to find Reva.
Scene 2: Honeymoon Suite
(Danny's sitting on the bed, Michelle's rubbing his shoulders.)
Michelle: Well yes, it would be very nice to see Reva while we were down there, but that's really not why I want to go.
Danny: Oh really? You just love Royal costume parties, right?
Michelle: Are you telling me that you're not interested? (Kisses his neck; trying to seduce him.) At all?
Danny: I'm telling you that I don't want you involved in the Lewis' problems anymore, Michelle.
Michelle: Danny, this is the perfect opportunity. The ball is the perfect cover to get down them and find out what's going on.
Danny: (Gets off the bed.) No, not us! And especially not you!
Michelle: Danny, wer're on the guest list you know? We're expected to go so why not do something for Josh and Reva?
Danny: Look, I understand that you want to help your friends, but you have already got yourself too much involved as it is.
Michelle: Do you have any idea how worried Josh is about his wife?
Danny: (Stuttering) Yes, yes I do. Because I-I'm...worried about my wife.
Michelle: It's not the same thing. I'm not being held captive by the ruler of some country, Danny.
Danny: And I'd like to keep it that way. Waht you're talking about is extremely dangerous. Don't you...
Michelle: Well, Reva would do this for me. I know that she would.
Danny: And we have done alot to help them! I flew Josh into San Cristobel and Reva did not want to leave, if you remember. I offereed the yacht. I'm not going to offer up my wife.
Michelle: You...you take risks every single day with your family and that business! Why can't just help a friend?
Danny: You are not being realistic. What do you think you would do if you were even to find Reva? Do you think, you think you would just stick her in your purse and then sneak her past the palace guards??
Michelle: Don't patronise me.
Danny: Do you think you're going to have a nice little chat with Richard and convince him to let her go?
Michelle: No...
Danny: He believes that she stole his son. She could be sentenced to death Michelle.
Michelle: But she didn't. She...
Danny: How do you know? How do you know?
Michelle: Because (Overlapping with Danny saying "How?") I know Reva.
Danny: Look, you know, it doesn't matter because Richard believes that she did. And San Cristobel is not a democracy and he can do whatever the Hell he wants! Including hurt you if you interfere!
Michelle: I am aware of the risks that I'm taking, okay? I am not afraid because I know that we can do this!
Danny: This is not some little spy game. You could get yourself killed. Why do you insist on putting yourself in danger? Always...why?
Michelle: Because I have to help Reva and that's it. Period. I am not going to turn my back on her if she's in danger. I'm not.
Scene 3: Honeymoon Suite
(Scene opens with Danny and Michelle on the bed. He's holding a pillow and she's sitting to his left.)
Danny: Michelle, there is nothing that you could do down there. Nothing.
Michelle: How do you know that? Why can't I just try?
Danny: Well, for one thing, our connections are gone. Edmund has proven that he can't be trusted and my mother has been making secret trips down there so there's obviously alot more going on down there than we know.
Michelle: Exactly! Which means that that's the reason I need to go down there and find out what's going on and how she's involved.
Danny: No, no. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I will not send you into that kind of danger!
Michelle: You're not sending me into anything. This is my choice to go!
Danny: Well, it's my job as your husband to protect you and to look after you!
Michelle: And what is my job, Danny? To cook you dinner and vacuum? (Oooh...I saw that one comin'.)
Danny: (Throws the pillow across the room. Leans back and exhales slowly.) No, it has nothing to do with that. You know I have worked really hard, very hard, to keep you from being a target with my family. And I am not gonna let you become a target in San Cristobel. I love you too much for you to put your life on the line. My answer is no, you're not going.
(Michelle looks very frustrated. She glares at him.)
