Julie Black : [pulls up beside Shane in a limo after he's been thrown out of 54] Shane! You want a ride?
[she gets out of the limo]
Julie Black : Look, Shane, I'm sorry. I know I acted like a fool, but you know how it gets in there.
Shane O'Shea : [cloaked in an old plastic garbage bag] Where's Roland?
Julie Black : I lost him in the balcony. I'm sorry. Come on.
Shane O'Shea : What about your career? I thought that was your big priority.
Julie Black : Yeah, well, I'm not so sure anymore.
Shane O'Shea : [looks over at 54, then back at Julie] Me neither. So now what?
Julie Black : I like you, Shane. Let's face it, we're Jersey.
Shane O'Shea : Yeah, we are.
Julie Black : [smiles] So... friends?
[she holds out her hand]
Shane O'Shea : [hesitates, then shakes Julie's hand] Friends.
[they smile]

Julie Black : [at a bowling alley with Shane; she bowls a strike] Yes!
Shane O'Shea : [applauding] Wow! You're good.
Julie Black : Four brothers and I never lost a game.
Shane O'Shea : Oh, really?
Julie Black : Mm-hmm.
Shane O'Shea : [picks up his ball] I've been meaning to tell you something.
Julie Black : [writing her score on the scorepad] Mm-hmm?
Shane O'Shea : It's kinda embarrassing.
Julie Black : You can tell me. What are you talking about?
Shane O'Shea : [bowls but misses three pins] When I first saw that picture of you in the gossip column, it was... you know, inspiring.
Julie Black : What?
Shane O'Shea : I mean it. Just to see somebody else from Jersey who made it.
Julie Black : [laughs] Made it? You're kidding, right? I'm on a soap.
Shane O'Shea : Right.
Julie Black : Wrong! Soap work is the pits. Why do you think I'm at 54 every night?
Shane O'Shea : [bowls his spare] I don't know. Maybe to meet somebody interesting.
Julie Black : Exactly.
[picks up her ball and prepares to bowl]
Julie Black : In this business, it's all about who you know, and since I'm gonna get a movie - or die trying - there's no place better than 54.
[bowls a strike]
Julie Black : One big bender with business cards. See, the thing is, if you meet the right producer - like Roland Sachs, for instance - you've got it made. I mean, he's got his hands in everything: music, movies, clubs, everything.
Shane O'Shea : Right. But you don't need that.
[picks up his ball]
Julie Black : Shane, come on. You're a 54 bartender. You know how things work. I mean, you know what this is all about. I mean, you've had to maneuver. Sometimes use your charm, sometimes other things. Hmm?
Shane O'Shea : Okay, you got me.
[bowls and gets all but one pin, then walks up to Julie smiling]
Shane O'Shea : This place is really great. You can actually see people here.
Julie Black : [laughs and playfully taps his nose] You're cute.
Shane O'Shea : [kisses her, then smiles] Starting the decade with the perfect kiss.
Julie Black : [smiles back] What could be better than that?
Shane O'Shea : Picking up that 7-10 split.
Julie Black : [grabs her ball and runs to bowl] Oh, yeah? I'm gonna do it first!
Shane O'Shea : [chasing after her] No, you're not, it's mine!
[he playfully wrestles her for the ball, causing it to drop in the middle of the lane and roll into the gutter]

Roland Sachs : [runs into Shane outside the cloak room on New Year's Eve] Hey, it's Errol Flynn!
Shane O'Shea : Hey, Roland! It's great to see you, man. I've been tryin' to reach you...
Roland Sachs : H-H-Hold on, my date's getting crushed.
Julie Black : [appears next to Roland] Oh. Hi.
Shane O'Shea : [looking at Julie in shock and disbelief] Hi.
Roland Sachs : I've got a great idea.
[he and Julie whisper amongst themselves]
Roland Sachs : Oh, come on; it'll be wild.
Julie Black : Listen, some of us are going back to Roland's house later. He wants to know, do you want to come?
Roland Sachs : [holds Julie's hand and kisses it] Actually, it'll, uh, just be the three of us.
[looks at Julie, then notices someone offscreen]
Roland Sachs : There goes Donald. Excuse me.
[leaves]
Shane O'Shea : [still in disbelief] I, I don't understand. I thought we, you know, connected.
Julie Black : Shane, I already explained this to you. My career is really important to me right now. Listen, Shane. I like you, I really do, but drop the fantasy, okay? I'm building something here, and I thought you wanted to get ahead, too. Now Roland's the kind of guy who can make that happen for you. Don't you want that?
Shane O'Shea : [shakes his head] Not that way.
[walks off in disgust]

Shane O'Shea : [voiceover] In the morning, I went to breakfast at the Alpine Inn like we used to the day after Christmas when Mom was alive.
Shane O'Shea : [to the waitress] Could I get a cappuccino, please?
Alpine Inn Waitress : [confused] Excuse me?
Julie Black : [laughs from her table across the room and lifts up her sunglasses] Wrong side of the river.
Shane O'Shea : [turns around and sees Julie, smiles] Hey!
Julie Black : [whispers] Shh! Hi.
[puts her sunglasses back on]
Shane O'Shea : I'm Shane. We met at the...
Julie Black : Yeah. I know who you are.
Shane O'Shea : [gesturing towards Julie's table] Uh, would you mind? Could I?
Julie Black : [kicks out a chair] Sure.
Shane O'Shea : [comes over and sits with her; she takes off her sunglasses] Uh, what are you doin' out here?
Julie Black : Spending the week with my parents.
[groans]
Shane O'Shea : [laughs] Yeah.
Julie Black : You look like you crawled out from under a rock.
Shane O'Shea : [sighs] Well, it hasn't been the greatest homecoming.
Julie Black : I see.
Julie Black : [in her New Jersey accent] Hey waitress, two cups of coffee, please?
Julie Black : [in her regular voice] When in Rome.
Shane O'Shea : [after the waitress pours them their coffee] It's a whole 'nother world, huh?
Julie Black : You'll learn. Two languages, two sets of clothes, two sets of friends.
Shane O'Shea : You kept your friends out here?
Julie Black : Well, no, actually. The clothes were a lot easier.
[laughs]
Shane O'Shea : [sighs] It's insane, isn't it? I mean, Manhattan is a whole 'nother problem; I mean, it's up one minute, down the next.
Julie Black : The story of my life, one thousand percent.
Shane O'Shea : Two thousand percent.

[Shane walks Julie to her car after they have breakfast at the Alpine Inn the day after Christmas]
Julie Black : You know, I've had so much coffee, I'm ready to take flight.
[she and Shane stop and look at each other for a moment]
Shane O'Shea : [strokes her hair] Hold on.
[he reaches into his coat pocket and gives her his key ring]
Shane O'Shea : So you remember today.
Julie Black : [looks at it] Thank you.
[she kisses Shane on the lips]
Shane O'Shea : [laughs] Whoa.
Julie Black : Who'd have thought?
Shane O'Shea : Huh?
Julie Black : You were so sweet.
