War/Peace - Part II. Clarissa Daisy Huntsman
Sure.
SAMANTHA
You have a lot to say; you can say it, Matt. I've read your rap on Facebook. I think it's amazing . . .
THEY REACH THE END OF THE KITCHEN AREA AND SAMANTHA OPENS THE DOOR TO THE BACK PASSAGEWAY WHICH LEADS TO THE HILLY EXTERIOR OF CENTERVILLE.

STILL SINGING, JESSICA HOPS ONTO THE BENCH AT THE FRONT OF THE KITCHEN. SHE REACHES OUT FOR STEVE; WITH ONE HAND IN HERS STEVE CLIMBS ONTO THE BENCH.
DYLAN CONTINUES TO TAP, AND BRANDON TO RUB.
THE SCENE IS MAGICAL, LIKE CRYSTAL WATER, AND STEVE AND JESSICA FLOW TOGETHER.
JESSICA PLACES THE CHIP RING ON STEVE'S FINGER.

(MATT, SAMANTHA)
MATT AND SAMANTHA STROLL DOWN THE HALLWAY HAND IN HAND.
MATT
You read the rap? Oh. Sorry. It's . . .
SAMANTHA
Beautiful. Clarissa read it too.
MATT
Oh . . . wow . . .
SAMANTHA REMOVES HER LONE STAR SHIRT. BENEATH IT SHE HAS ON A DRESS, TIE-DYED. SHE TOSSES THE SHIRT BEHIND SOME BOXES AND CONTINUES WALKING.
MATT
"You're" the one who's beautiful. Sorry . . . it's just . . .
SAMANTHA
Stop apologizing Matt. All I'm hearing from you in kitchen is "sorry".
SAMANTHA PUTS A FINGER TO MATT'S MOUTH.
SAMANTHA
Don't be. Stop censoring yourself. You don't even gotta talk; you can play James Dean [1.]. But if you wanna then whatever you wanna say . . .
SAMANTHA TAKES A JOINT FROM HER POCKET AND HANDS IT TO MATT.
SAMANTHA
. . . you can say . . . just between you and I.
MATT SMILES.
MATT
Really? Weed? I had no idea you were . . .
SAMANTHA
Like - the tie dye didn't give it all away? Look - you won't tell the others, ok? Clarissa's cool though. But her and I; we got our own secret refuge here that no one else knows about. But she wants you to know, and so do I.
SAMANTHA OPENS ANOTHER DOOR. THEY WALK OUTSIDE.

STEVE
Yes. Yes, of course. I love you.
JESSICA
I love you too.
THEY KISS; BRANDON AND DYLAN CLAP. THE ATMOSPHERE'S ELECTRIC. THE SOUND ECHOES OFF THE WALLS LIKE A QUETZAL'S CRY [1.].
AN AUDIENCE FORMS FRONT OF HOUSE.
STEVE AND JESSICA WALK TOWARD THE DOOR.
THE AUDIENCE CHEERS. THAT'S PERHAPS A WIN FOR MONOGAMOUS MINNESOTA, BUT UTAH JAZZ PLAYS NOW OUT THE BACK OF LONE STAR . . . AND IT'S SO SMOOTH . . .

(MATT, SAMANTHA)
SAMANTHA SITS DOWN ON A LOG AND PULLS MATT DOWN WITH HER.
MATT
This is beautiful. How does no one know about this place?
SAMANTHA
No one cares. Look . . .
SAMANTHA POINTS TO THE HILLS THAT GENTLY STROKE THE HORIZON, SOFT FINGERS OF UTAH'S HAND.
SAMANTHA
And listen . . . can you hear the birds? No matter how much noise they make in there, it can't compare to the noise of nature. Matt; I wanna tell you about Clarissa, but first I want you to tell me what's on your mind. I want you to tell me what you're feeling inside.
SAMANTHA MOVES CLOSER TO MATT.
MATT PLACES FOUR FINGERS ON HER CHEEK. HE TAKES A DEEP BREATH.
MATT
Can I show you?
SAMANTHA NODS.
THEY KISS.
