32 MAGGIE::

22. 3 Wait, Paul. I have something to say that will

CU on Maggie
probably change what you're going to say.

23. 4 SHE MOVES AWAY FROM PAUL AND

Wide Shot
ADDRESSES THE ROOM.

33 MAGGIE (CONT'D)::

I wanted to be with Paul since the moment

Jeannie hired me to work as a waitress in this
restaurant.

34 JEANNIE::

Over Paul's objections.

35 MAGGIE::

Oh, yeah.
(TO PAUL)

What was that about?

36 PAUL::

I could tell you would be a lousy waitress.

37 JEANNIE::

Which, it turns out, you were.

38 PAUL::

But it also turned out you were good at other

things.

MAGGIE SMILES. THEN CONTINUES.

39 MAGGIE::

Anyway,
(TO PAUL)

I want you to leave Jeannie and be with me,

but not like this.
(THEN)

I replaced Paul's DNA sample with one of Ben's

so that Paul would think Jeannie and Ben slept
together -- which, it turns out, they did -- but
there is no question that Cassie is Paul's
daughter.

PAUL STARTS TO CRY.

40 PAUL::

(TO MAGGIE)

I love you for being brave enough to be

honest about what you did.

41 JEANNIE::

(TO PAUL)

I love you for having the compassion to stand

by her after she did what she did.

42 PAUL::

(TO JEANNIE)

And I love you for loving me even though I

love her -- and you.

CASSIE TAKES LOLA'S HAND AGAIN.

43 NOAH::

24. 1 I have something to confess, too. I've caused

Med on Noah, slight push in
enough pain and it's time to be honest with all
of you. I'm not Noah Emmerson -- I mean, I am,
but I was someone else before I became who I
am.
(TO BEN)

You questioned why I have a particular

attachment to Lola--

44 BEN::

25. 2 I was just wondering about the physical--

45 NOAH::

(CONTINUING)

26. 1 --And I do. It's beyond the kind of attachment

CU on Noah
a teacher feels for a wonderful student.
27. 3 (TO LOLA)
CU on Lola
28. 1 It's the kind of attachment a mother feels for
CU on Noah
her daughter.

29. 3 LOLA IS CONFUSED.

CU on Lola

46 NOAH (CONT'D)::

30. 1 I'm your mother, Lola. I'm Nancy.

CU on Noah

47 BEN::

31. 2 Nancy?
CU on Ben, swish pan to CU on Sasha

48 SASHA::

Nancy!

SASHA STOPS WORKING AND WALKS OVER TO

THE GROUP.

49 NOAH::

32. 1 I knew something was wrong, and I know I

CU on Noah
had to get away to figure out what it was. And
I knew if I talked about it to anyone, I would

NOAH (CONT.)
never leave. I didn't plan to be away 10 years, I
was thinking more in terms of a weekend. But
one day just faded into the next, and then
after the sex change... I was afraid to come
back. So I took a teaching job at Lola's school
so I could be near her and help her grow.
(STARTS TO CRY)

And she's become such a beautiful young

woman!

50 LOLA::

33. 3 (CRYING)
CU on Lola
Mom!

34. 4 SHE RUNS OVER AND HUGS NOAH-NANCY.

Wide shot, on jib, slow pull back and
boom up CASSIE AND HARRISON WALK OVER AND HUG
LOLA.

MEANWHILE, SASHA HAS BEEN POISED TO

MAKE HER MOVE. SHE RUNS OVER TO BEN,
THROWS HER ARMS AROUND HIM AND KISSES
HIM PASSIONATELY. HE PICKS HER UP AND
CARRIES HER INTO THE KITCHEN.

PAUL AND JEANNIE LOOK AT EACH OTHER

AND HUG. THEY LOOK OVER THE MAGGIE,
AND JEANNIE GESTURES HER OVER. PAUL,

JEANNIE AND MAGGIE ALL HUG.

FADE OUT.
