iThese scenes are taken from the versions graciously provided to us by TQ after the finale/i

[Note: These next three scenes are omitted in the green version dated March 17, 2005.]

Bud/Harriet: Good evening, Captain.

Harm: Evening. (Looks at Harriet) Anyone tell you how beautiful you look?

Harriet: (looks at Bud) You'd be the first person who didn't expect something in return.

Bud blushes a little.

Harriet: This is all so sad. (Off Harm's look.) After tonight, we're never going to be together like this again.

Harm: Maybe that's reason to celebrate.

Bud: Well, the last few years have been the best time of my life.

Harriet: Mine, too. It's hard knowing that it's all coming to an end. (A beat) I'm sure Colonel Mackenzie feels that way. (Off Harm)

Exterior of the Adidas Huckleberry Hotel in the patio at night, Mac sits alone, feeling not the least bit festive but looking ravishing in a red dress. Coates approaches.

Coates: Goods evening, Ma'am. You want a little company?

Mac: Sure. Sit down.

Coates: Sorry to break in on your thoughts.

Mac: Not thoughts, Jen. Just a vague ... disappointment.

[This is where they had the discussion about Coates going to San Diego.]

Coates is flattered.

Coates: I was hoping Vic...Lt. Vukovic would make it back in time for the party. I'll bet he looks good in his dress whites.

Mac shoots Coates a look.

Coates: Are you taking Lt. Vukovic to San Diego with you?

Mac: You make it sound like he's my pet Chihuahua.

Coates: As part of your legal staff?

Mac: He asked. I said "no".

iI cut anymore discussion of Vukovic out right here, because I could(smile)/i

Now we go to the interior of the Hotel in the men's rest room.
Turner washes up as the General enters.

Turner: Good evening, Sir. Nice Party.

General washes his hands.

General: Is that why everyone is leaving early?

Turner: People are having a hard time saying goodbye, General.

General (not buying it): I've had fifteen different duty assignments in thirty years.

Turner: Maybe these people have just been together too long.

General: You're one of "these people", Commander.

Turner: Not really. (As he leaves) Good evening, Sir.

[NOTE: the above three scenes were deleted in the green version dated 8/17/05.]

(17) Now we come to several scenes in and out of McMurphy's Bar. It is 0410 Zulu.

The interior of McMurphy's bar at night:
Harm walks into the Bar. He takes a seat. The pretty girl bartender comes up to see what he wants. {these are some of the spoilers because they had sides.)

Bartender: I don't know what your scene is, but that's one trick outfit. You ever think about wearing a kilt?

Harm: Not recently.

Bar: I bet you've got the legs. (With a smile) What can I do for you?

Harm: Bud Light.

Bar: You can have whatever you want.
Bartender serves up the beer. Harm muses.

Mac (off to the side): Didn't expect to find you here.

Harm turns, surprised to see her.

Harm: I could say the same for you.

Mac pulls herself onto the bar stool next to him.

Mac: This is the last place I got drunk.

Harm: You weren't thinking...?

Mac: Are you crazy?

Bartender gives Mac the once over.

Bar: what can I do for you?

Mac: Soda with a twist, please.

Bar: It figures a guy like him would be with a girl like you.

Mac: We're not really ... with... it's just for the moment.

Bar (re Harm): So what is with that outfit?

Mac: Every now and then he likes to get wild and crazy.

Bar: Lucky you.

Mac: yea. Lucky me.

Harm and Mac clink glasses.

Mac: To having nothing left to say. [This is like Mac's toast.]

Harm: Right

Although Mac clearly has something on her mind.

Mac: Although, I've got one last request ...

Just then they hear a familiar voice.

Bud: Commander. Colonel.

The direction says: "Yikes. The moment is spoiled. Bud and Harriet step up to the bar.

Bud: This is amazing...

Harriet: ...that we'd all end up here.

Harm: It's kind of like "Groundhog day."

Bud: Exactly. Remember sitting at this bar and singing 'Baby It's Cold Outside."

Harriet: And remember Brumby's going away party?
(Harriet looks at Mac)

Harriet: Sorry.

Mac: That's okay. It was a sweet night. I still can't listen to "Waltzing Matilda" without crying.

Harriet: We've all had a lot of good times here. I wish it never had to end.

Mac looks somberly at harm. She wishes the same thing.

We go to the exterior of McMurphy's Bar at night. Turner comes up to the door. He looks inside, sees the others, and decides not to go in. As he starts away, he bumps into Coates.

Coates: Not going in, Sir?

Turner: Guess I wanted to drink alone.

Coates: Please come in, Commander. Let's end tonight in style. Besides, the General's going to be here any moment.

Turner: The General doesn't drink.

Coates: No problems. I made sure he'd show up. (Off Turner's reticence) I'd hate to have to walk into a bar unaccompanied, Sir.

Turner relents, smiles. He offers her his arm.

Back we go into McMurphy's Bar - night.
Mac looks up to see Turner and Coates come in the door.

Mac: Looks like the gang's all here.

Coates and Turner step up to the bar.

Harm: What'll you have. I'm buying.

Coates: Bloody Mary.

Turner: Martini.

Bar: (to Harm): If you need another friend, I know where you can find one. (With a grin!) I don't mind a crowd.

She walks away.

Mac (to Harm; sardonic): It's nice to see you making new friends.

Harm: Will you cut it out?

Mac: I hear the girls in London are cute.

Harm: I hear the boys in San Diego are even cuter.

Mac (laughs): Okay. Truce.

Then General Cresswell enters, finding his loyal troops. He comes over to Coates.

General: I got your message. I thought you said you had a flat tire and no spare.

Coates: I lied, Sir. (Off his look) I knew you wouldn't come otherwise, General, and...As much as it might surprise you, it wouldn't be the same without you here.

General takes a moment to digest the compliment. He scans the faces of the others. All seem in agreement, the General has finally passed social muster with the group.

Harm: Drinks are on me, Sir.

Cresswell scans the bar, spots mac's nonalcoholic bevvy and says to the Bartender: I'll have what she's having.

General settles in, feeling at ease with them for perhaps the first time ever.

Bar (to the General): Another trick outfit.

Mac: Ignore her.

Cresswell: Who does she think we are.

Mac: You don't want to know.

Harm: Sorry I left the party early General. But...
[my emphasis]

General: It was more like a wake than a celebration, Captain. I know, I was there.

He turns to Coates: You know, I spent 20 minutes looking for my Triple A card.

He turns to Mac: You're welcome to her, Colonel. May you both find greener pastures on the Left Coast.

Mac: Hear, hear.

Mac raises her glass and the others follow suit.

There is a time cut, but still in McMurphy's Bar.
Hilarity ensues. Mac leans over to Harm.

Mac: We need to talk.

Harm: We've been talking all night.

Mac: let's take this outside.

The direction says: Mac stands, not minding that harm is taking in the full view as she pulls a wrap around herself. Mac starts for the door and Harm can be seen appreciating her form as she walks away.

Harm and Mac exit the bar.

Mac: What time's your flight?

Harm: Zero eight hundred.

Mac: That's eight hours from now.

Harm: What's your point?

Mac: That gives you two hours to finish packing...one hour to get to Andrews.

She gives him a look. He plays along with it.

Harm: What do I do with the other five?

She holds out a set of keys.

Mac: The big one's to the downstairs door. The small one's to my apartment. Sometimes it sticks a little so you'll want to give it an extra hard push. (Seductively.) I won't be hard to find. I'll be the girl in the red silk camisole.

Harm: You look good in silk.

Mac: I look better out of it.

Mac tosses him the keys.

Mac: It's time we found out what the past nine years were all about.

She turns to go. Harm is nearly speechless.

Mac: See you, Harm.

Harm (hesitates, then): See you, Mac.

Freeze...End of Show.
