Alice- “ okay yoda spill, it didn’t look like it was nothing.”

Shane- “sam confronted me and pretty much told me to stay away from Carmen and to give her a chance to do something I was never able to do…….. make her happy.”

Bette-“who is Sam?”

Dana- “Carmen’s new girlfriend”

Bette-“ her girlfriend said that to you?”

Shane- “pretty much, just not in so many words.”

Tina-“ wow that takes some guts”

Max- “ hey shane., can we go outside and talk for a minute?”

Shane-“ yeah”

They both walk out to the pool and sit down as shane lights up a cigarette.

Max-“ mind if I snag one of those off of you?”

Shane- “yeah, since when do you smoke?”

Max-“ I haven’t for a long time, I used to be a heavy smoker and I know I might need one to get through this conversation with you.”

There is a long pause. Shane decided she will let Max say what he needs to before saying a word.

Max-“I know what I said at the club last night was fucked up in more than one way. I am sorry”

Shane-“ I understand”

Max- “ no im not done. You were there for jen and I when we had our rough period and for that I cant thank you enough. I know you still love Carmen and want her back. I came across a folder in the living room today. I am sorry I wasn’t trying to snoop. But I get what you are trying to do. It is going to take a lot to get it done and I want to help you. I have a few connections and I think if you let me help you we could really pull this off.”

Shane-“ thank you. You really think it is a good idea.”

Max wraps his arm around shane. “ if she doesn’t see it with that she never will. I think we should start tonight at the party just slowly start planting the seed. Let it sink in and the save your plan for the big bang at the end. If that doesn’t  get her to see you want nothing more on this earth than to be with her, I don’t think she ever will.”
