Bette: I think everything is ready. Im getting ready to do the final walk through and leave myself. Remember, you need to be here at 6 p.m. to let the caterers finish setting up and to let the press get situated throughout the gallery. Im not sure who is showing up this time but be preparedsomeone from BC Times always makes an appearance and covers everything beautifully. Please make sure they are taken care of. Oh and David, please notify me the minute Tina Kennard shows up.

David: Will do Bettesee you tonight.

Bette does her final walk through and puts HER finishing touches on the gallery before leaving for the afternoon.

Bette: (Talking to herself as she walks to her car)I need to pick up the dry cleaning and head to the house. I dont have much time before I have to be back here. Tonight is so important for the gallery and for me. I cant wait to see Tina!

As Bette is driving home a song comes on the radio, Here Without You by Three Doors Down. Bette is immediately drawn to the song and its lyrics. While the song is playing all thoughts go straight to Tina.

Im here without you baby, your still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.

Bette: Damn, this song really gets to you. I wonder what she will be wearing tonight? I hope nothing goes wrong tonight. The Porter charm will be on high tonight!

Alice: (On the phone)Hey Sue its Alice.

Sue: Hi, what can I do for you?

Alice: Who is covering Scribble Gallery tonight?

Sue: I got Jason covering the photos and Ben is doing the write up. Why?

Alice: Let Ben know that he is now covering the Premier, Ill be covering the Scribble Gallery.

Sue: Youre covering the gallery? Youre the boss, you dont cover events you approve whats been covered.

Alice: Usually you would be right, but tonight I need to do this myself.

Sue: Will you still be needing Jasons assistant?

Alice: Yes, tell him to use the media pass for BC Times and take pictures freely as though Im not there.

Sue: Anything else?

Alice: Nothing elseIll get with you Monday.

Tina: (Walking around her house) If this dont turn a few heads I dont know what will! Actually, there is only one head I want to turn. What am I doing, Bette is a woman, Im a womanwhat crazy mess am I getting into? I just cant get her out of my mind, I cant stop thinking about her.

As Tina continues to walk around the house she goes to the radio and turns it up.
Im here without you baby, your still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.

Tina: I dont think Ive ever heard this song before. Its kind of strange because I think he is singing about what I am feeling.

A little later the phone rings

Tina: Yes Alice, I realize its 7pm. Im walking out the door now.

Alice: Well hurry upIm getting anxiousmy photographer is going to beat me there.

Tina: Your photographer! Are you covering the event?

Alice: If you want something done right youre better off doing it yourself.

Tina: Ill be right there, keep your pants on.

Alice: Just get hereI need to get my groove on and start questioning Ms. Porter.
