Buzz is sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee with a box of doughnuts in front of him; Jenna comes down in her nightgown. She gets a doughnut, he gets up from table
Buzz: (Leaning over her) Stop right there. This is the new improved me. I'm not going to beg and I'm not going to try to con you into any explanations. Only you know how bad things have to get with Jeffrey until you come clean. But, if you ask me the guy's a walking time bomb. But, hey, it's your call. (he walks away)
Scene 2 Buzz: You are so full of it. Jenna: You know, I can never have a serious conversation with you because you scoffit everything that I say. Buzz: So all of a sudden I'm supposed to believe everything that comes out of your mouth? Jenna: Yes. You are supposed to believe that I have had a great deal of practice with Jeffrey. (He looks skeptical) Alright, Alright. Perhaps things are a little unclear at the moment. (He glares at her) I plan on fixing them, alright? I will find a way to take care of Jeffrey and this whole situation. (He slams his cup down) Well, that's it. I'm not going to sit around all day and argue with you. End of discussion then.
Jenna: You think I don't know this? Buzz: I'm not fooling here. He's my son. I don't think he's safe around that man. And the old Jenna Bradshaw I knew wouldn't let this happen. I don't know what happened to her. What happened to you? Who the hell are you?
Buzz: Oh, who's asking you to? Jenna: You are. Buzz: No, I'm not. I'm not asking you to do that. All I'm asking you to do is be the old Jenna Bradshaw I always knew--Now! Today! The old Jenna Bradshaw wouldn't cut and run. Jenna: I am not cutting and running! Buzz: Well, you're not exactly manning the barricade. Jenna: I am doing what I have to do. What I've done for the past two years to survive. Buzz: You need me to help you fight this! Jenna: As I said before: I can handle-- Buzz: Oh, that's right! You don't need me, you don't need anybody! Never did! Never will! Jenna: I can't believe you just said that! That's complete rot! (Blurting out) I may not need just "anybody" but I need you! Buzz: Huh? (Awestruck)
Buzz: (Hoping he heard right) Say that again. Jenna: You want me to repeat it? Buzz: Please. Jenna: Buzz, you can be the most infuriating man! I mean, how can you NOT know that I need you? And that I lo---! Buzz: (Whispering) You what? Jenna: (Giving in; Smiling) I love you, I've always loved you.
Scene 4
He stares at her in awe, she walks over to a chair, he follows her and then he sits on his knees in front of her
Buzz: I-I-I-I...What's going on here? Jenna: I keep trying to make decisions. The right decisions and they all keep blowing up in my face. Buzz: What are we talking about here? Jenna: You know the other day I was watching you and you were in the kitchen. And you were singing this god awful tune.... Buzz: Anthony Newley. I love that.... Jenna: Anyway, there you were. (Laughs) You looked so ridiculous...you had your baseball cap on backwards, (He begins talking over her) you had mis-matching socks, and you can't carry a tune at all, Buzz, you really can't--- Buzz: I like this little picture that you're drawing of me, but I would like to know--- Jenna: And this infuriates me! Buzz: What? Jenna: When you won't let me finish a sentence! Buzz: (Sitting on floor) Okay, alright. I'm listening. Jenna: (Getting on floor with him, taking hold of his hand) You foolish, foolish, man! When I was watching you in the kitchen with your mis-matched socks, don't you see? (Lovingly) I realized it's the only place I've ever wanted to be! Buzz: You like my socks? Jenna: (Laughs) Yes, I like your socks. Buzz: I miss you.
Buzz: I love you.
They smile. They pull each other close and passionately kiss.
Buzz: She likes my socks!
 They kiss again and hold on to each other

( He runs to the door, leans over the railing and exclaims) Everybody! She's mine! She's mine! Film at eleven. She's mine! (He runs back in the room) Come here, you! (He shuts the door, runs & picks her up, and begins to frantically look around the room) Come on! We've got to celebrate. I know! (Sets her down, she is laughing) Champagne! The champagne in the refrigerator! Jenna: No, it's too early for champagne. Buzz: (Pulling her close) Time? Who cares about the time? I mean, you told me the truth! The WONDROUS, GLORIOUS....! Ah, the truth! We have a son... Jenna: Yes! Buzz: We have a son! We're a family. You and me--a new beginning! Jenna: Well, no. Not exactly. I wish it was. I wish it was! Buzz: What do you mean? Jenna: Well, you know, I have a-a- Buzz: Oh, him. Forget about him! He's nothing! He's less. He's not Coop's father. He's not your husband, at least not in the way it counts. I mean it's you and me, kid. You and me together. Together we can beat anything! (They kiss tenderly)
