Episode 81, scene 3. Dr. Rossi pops in on Constance at the Book Gallery. MR: Hello, Connie. CC: Hello, Michael. MR: When did you get back? CC: Night before last. MR: How's Elliot? CC: Fine. Not really. Neither one of us is particularly happy about having to return to the ranks of the working class this quickly. MR: Well, that's understandable. I suppose everyone has already told you that marriage agrees with you. CC: It's nice hearing it from you. CC: Can I do something for you? MR: Yes. I, uh, well actually No. I, kind of just dropped in. Is that all right? CC: Of course it is. MR: It's good to see you again. CC: You've been a good friend, Michael. CC: Keep on being a good friend . . .

AM: I bet you've just been telling my mother how much marriage agrees with her. MR: Those very words. 15 seconds ago. Why is it young people make us seem so predictable? CC: Shouldn't the young be studying be studying for an examination? AM: Well, I was. I was in the school library studying. And then suddenly I got this irrestible impulse. CC: What kind of impulse? AM: To see you. CC: To see me or to get out of the library? MR: If I didn't know If Allison's grades weren't so good, I would asy this was serious. Well I have to go. I have some patients upstairs. Well, I'll just be going. MR: Bye, Allison. AM: Goodbye, Dr. Rossi. [Rossi leaves.] AM: Seeing that I've come all this way, do you think we could have lunch together? CC: Of course. Do you want to go down to the Chandlery and tell your father? AM: All right. If you think so. CC: Allison . . . AM: Wasn't that nice seeing Dr. Rossi in here again? I mean, everything hasn't changed, has it? CC: Don't you want to father to come with us? AM: It isn't that I don't want to. It's just since you've been back we haven't had two minutes together alone. CC: I know. It's been so busy. AM: I don't mean to be difficult. It's . . . When you were gone, I missed you. And I miss you now. [Constance hugs Allison.] Episode 81, scene 3 HOME
