Parker Rowland : So what do you wanna do for dinner tonight?
[sits down, crossing her legs casually]
Auggie Anderson : I'll probably have to work late.
Parker Rowland : What will you be working on?
[he sighs]
Parker Rowland : Am I...
[scoffs]
Parker Rowland : not supposed to ask?
Auggie Anderson : You can ask. And I can either ignore the question... or lie.
Parker Rowland : Oh.
[nods]
Parker Rowland : Then I guess I just won't ask.
Auggie Anderson : Listen.
[sits down next to her]
Auggie Anderson : Every couple goes through something like this after a read-in. We'll figure it out. I promise.
[she nods, they kiss]
Auggie Anderson : That coffee smells good.
[she smiles wistfully at him as he goes off]

Parker Rowland : It's late. I'm fine.
Auggie Anderson : Hey, just so you know, today was not a typical day.
[going to walk in without assistance of cane]
Auggie Anderson : It wasn't exactly a typical date either, but you know...
[bumps into object]
Auggie Anderson : Ow!
Parker Rowland : Shoot, sorry, I shouldn't have put that there.
Auggie Anderson : No, no, it's okay. It's just that I kind of have a... system.
[touches the object]
Auggie Anderson : This is a suitcase.
Parker Rowland : Auggie, we need to talk.
Auggie Anderson : [knows what's coming] Why don't I go back outside, and we can start this over again?
Parker Rowland : [rushing forward] I can't marry you, Auggie.
Auggie Anderson : [sighs] And you decided this, what, today? Just because I'm a couple of hours late?
Parker Rowland : No.
[shakes her head]
Parker Rowland : No, I've... been thinking it for a while, since Africa, and I... I should have said something earlier.
Auggie Anderson : This is because I'm CIA. You don't trust me. You don't think you know who I am anymore.
Parker Rowland : I don't know you. We don't know each other, Auggie, not really.
Auggie Anderson : Come on...
Parker Rowland : It's true. And what we have, it's...
Auggie Anderson : Is good. And, Parker, what we have, is really, really good.
Parker Rowland : [nods] But I'm not sure what it's based on.
Auggie Anderson : What are you... What are you saying?
Parker Rowland : Our emotions... they were... they were heightened when we first met, because of our situation, because of Billy, and since then, I've felt like I'm not... I'm not tethered to anything, I... and you and I, we've just been floating in some kind of bubble, and...
Auggie Anderson : Yeah, well, that's what love's supposed to feel like. That's what it feels like. We do love each other, right?
Parker Rowland : [nods, whispers tearfully:] Yes.
Auggie Anderson : Okay, that's the important stuff. Getting to know you, that's... that's the fine print. That's what we're doing now.
Parker Rowland : [sobbing] I'm not ready for this.
[wants to leave]
Auggie Anderson : No, no, do not leave tonight. Not like this. This is not what engaged people do.
Parker Rowland : Well,
[sobs]
Parker Rowland : what do they do?
Auggie Anderson : [desperate] They work it out. They work it out. They talk things through, their differences, like adults. They work it out.
Parker Rowland : [tearfully] I don't know...
Auggie Anderson : Just stay tonight. Not tonight, please... Please. Everything looks better in the light of day.
[kisses her, hugs her, she sniffles]
