MONROE:

(( Comes up for air for a moment, briefly extricating himself from ALMA's loving embrace: ))

Sure enough, bud - don't you agree it's simply the perfect line when you've been waiting and loving and wishing and longing for years and years, torn between dizzy hope and dark despair - and the love of your life *finally* gives you the "all clear"?

(( Turns back to the business of earnestly trying to break the Brokenarsed kissing record ))

Oh, happy day!!!!

ALMA~

((As she leads Monroe to the door))

I know your excited Monroe as we have waited along time for this  but The girls will be coming home from school soon and Ennis will be picking them up for the weekend at 5 o'clock.   I have alot to do before then.  I know... why don't the two of us go for coffee on Saturday night up to Don's up on Old Route 69.     I hear they have a new owner from the city that has fixed up the place.   I havn't been to a restaurant in years!  What do you think?

Well, yeah! But now I gotta come up with somethin' original.

MONROE:

(( Can't believe what ALMA's saying. Dazed smile dying on his lips, body sagging ))

I guess I thought this means you'd.........

%% I have to leave!?! She's longing for restaurant food when she could be tasting more of me mine?!?

(( Nearly faints with disappointment ))

Yeah, all right.

I'll see you next month weekend, then.....

MONROE:

(( Depressed as hell ))

Well, sorry 'bout that, bud. Sure didn't mean to steal your thunder none.

((Sighs))

Hope you'll manage to find pure, unimaginable happiness and joy when you meet up with the love of YOUR life soon.....  Now, THAT sure would be very ORIGINAL   'round here.....

JACK:

((Sitting up in bed.... by himself..... again, trying to watch the news on the television.))

Honey, ya comin' ta bed?

%% Not sure why I bother askin'. Know what the answer's gonna be.%%

((Flips the TV off and reaches for the tractor magazines he brought up from the mailbox. A blue postcard falls to the ground and Jack recognizes Ennis's handwriting immediately. His heart suddenly jolts in his chest and the all too familiar lump in his throat returns. He carefully picks up the postcard and reads it.... His heart pounding faster and faster....))

%% Does this mean?..... What's Ennis tryin' ta tell him?%%

((Jack let a little hope creep back into his heart, walked over to his closet and found the stash of money he'd put aside all these years. A sizable amount now. He and Ennis could start their own life together with it.))

((Suddenly Jack remembers the fear that crept into Ennis's eyes and voice when he mentioned it last. It wasn't just his wife, it was that other thing too. Ennis was afraid.))

Hell, we're all afraid. We just gotta do what we gotta do sometimes. We deserve a little happiness too, in addition to the fear. I know I do.

((Jack put the postcard in the top drawer of his dresser and got back into bed, turning off the light to sleep. Lureen probably wouldn't be done with her books (or whatever she's doing) until after midnight. As he drifted off to sleep, he developed a plan in his head. It wasn't the sanest, brightest thing he'd ever done, but he was definitely not afraid to try it. He'd faced what Ennis feared already. Wasn't too bad. Ennis thought it could get worse. Maybe. But Jack had to try and prove him wrong... and he knew how he was gonna do it.))

%% Being in charge of the Super Market is good for *something*..... At least I can get my hands on comfort food any time of day or night.... %%

((Jack winks at the invisible and far distant Monroe.))

Yeah, I hope this works too. Might need some help from some unusual people. Is that Miss Snow's Ice Cream? It's the best ya know.... Even the fat-free styles're tasty.

ALMA~

**After Monroe leaves Alma starts to pack Alma jr and Jennys bags for the weekend.

That was so hard controlling myself right then. Monroes sweet kisses. Just like in my dreams! I havn't been kissed like that before. Actually I havn't been kissed  in years!    But I have to be very carefull not to rush this.  I can't wait for Saturday night when he and I will be able to go on our first date together!  I'm starting to feel like such a school girl again!!  I just can't believe this is happening!

** Alma blushes and giggles to herself thinking about her and Monroe and all the fun they are gonna have together!

MONROE:


(( Looks up at hearing distant voice ))

Sure enough, it's Miss Snow's.  But I plan to keep up the comfort binge till the volume resembles Mrs. Iceberg.

(( Self-conscious all of a sudden ))

It's only because I didn't have time to make my own special recipe ice cream, of course. Nothing beats that one, if I may say so myself. But in the present circumstances, this here will have to do.

(( Waves spoon high in the air and tearfully cheers the invisible and far distant JACK on: ))

Good.... good luck! May your hopes be fulfilled and your wishes come true!!
