THE NEXT DAY
Jack:
I hate waiting in this office. God dammit where is Liz? It's 8:00 in the morning she should be here! Walking in with a donut in her hand! Her amazing soft caring hand….er uh…where is she?
-
Liz enters 30 Rockefeller Plaza, a donut in her hand and a coffee in the other. She hesitates as she pushes the 52 floor button in the elevator. Then she changes her mind and pushes the 6th floor instead. She walks to Jenna's dressing room as fast as she can, not paying attention to anything or anybody in her way. She doesn't care that Tracy has filled the halls with snakes, she doesn't care that Lutz is choking on some cheese, she just wants a pep talk from Jenna.
Liz and Jenna:
"So how did it go?"
"It didn't"
"Liz!"
"Jenna I freaked out! I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do. I'm all nervous and sweating like a kid who just ran 8 miles on his first day of Fat Camp!"
"You need to go and tell him you want to go out!"
"But do I? I'm not sure if thats a good idea!"
"Liz. Your single, he's single, your his best friend and he's yours. You guys are perfect together. Like peanut butter and a spoon. Now go upstairs and tell him you want some!"
"I can't do it!"
Jenna pushes Liz into her emergency wheelchair and escorts her to the elevator. She pushes the 52 floor button and dumps Liz out of her wheelchair and onto the floor. Liz tries to get up as quickly as possible but the elevator doors close before she can make an escape. The elevator doors ding before Liz can even catch her breath. She stands in front of Jack's office, hand twitching over the door knob. She's nervous and feels as if she can't move. After she opens that door her whole world is going to change. Is she ready for that? Jenna sure thinks so. But this is Liz's life, and maybe she's not ready. Maybe she doesn't want change. But she re-thinks her choice. She thinks about how Jack has always been there for her, how he's helped her so much over the years. Her thoughts get interrupted by a girly assistant.
"Go in already!" a cranky Jonathan yells.
"This is it." She enters Jack's office.
