GRACE:

Bruce, I feel like our relationship

is becoming all about sex.

BRUCE:

No it's not. Come on, give me a

*

hug.

GRACE:

No, Bruce. Come on. *

She breaks away and sees the computer is on. *

GRACE *

What's that? What are you doing? *

Bruce tries to cover. *

BRUCE *

Oh, ah. Nothing. Surfing the *

*

internet...for stories...

GRACE *

Is this why you didn't come to bed? *

BRUCE *

No, ah...Honey, you're going to be *

late.

GRACE:

No, I'm not.

Bruce looks over Grace's shoulder and ADJUSTS THE CLOCK FORTY

MINUTES FORWARD. Grace turns and is surprised.

GRACE:

Oh my goshI How did I sleep this

late? I've got to run. Are you

giving me a ride?

BRUCE:

Don't need to.

Bruce motions to the window. Grace walks over, looks out and

Bruce smiles. *

BRUCE *

Okay. Let's start with something *

easy.

Please make the Sabers win the

playoffs, good. Please, please let

the Red Wings beat the Sabers.
