SHEILA:

You sure weren't acting like the

Pete Dayton I've always known.

PETE:

Whatiya mean?

SHEILA:

You were acting like a different

person.

Pete laughs, but Sheila doesn't.

PETE:

Who else could I be?

Sheila stares seriously at Pete, but then laughs too.

SHEILA:

I don't know.

Sheila leans in very close to Pete and whispers in his ear.

SHEILA:

You still care about me?

PETE:

Sure. Sure I do.

Sheila pushes her mouth on Pete's and they kiss. Pete breaks

away - looks at Sheila - serious.

about it.
