"May I come in?" Sam asks.
"Uh, yeah, if you want to."
"Do you want me to?" He asks.
"Yeah, sure?"
"So do I." Sam slowly walks in, "Okay Ivy, before anything happens." He takes off his coat, "I just want to lay down a couple of ground rules." He turns back to face her, "This is just about tonight. I don't want to go through with this if it's going to raise the question of 'Us'." Ivy is very confused. "Okay? I just want this to be," He kicks off his left shoe, "About what it is!" He kicks off the other one.
"And uh, what-what is that, Sam?" She asks.
"The physical act of love." He hisses at her.
Ivy laughs, "What?! Are you crazy?"
"Oh so-so you weren't trying to entice me with your nakedness?"
Ivy gasps, "Oh God, you saw me?! Oh!"
"You weren't trying to entice me with your nakedness." Sam realizes.
"Noo!! No! You thought, you actually thought I wanted to have sex with you?!"
"No! No!" Sam grabs his coat, "No!" He grabs a shoe, "No-no-no-no." He grabs the other one and heads for the door.
"Ohh wow! I'm sorry, but Sam you kicked off your shoes!"
"Can we, can we just forget this ever happened?" He asks.
"Yes of course, absolutely! You're right. I'm sorry."
"Thank you."
"Yes."
"All right, I guess I'm, gonna go pack." He starts to leave.
"Okay. Oh wait! One more thing umm, do-do we still need to settle the question of 'Us'?" Ivy asks teasingly.
Sam storms off embarrassed.

Luis, Sheridan, and Beth enter Caesar's Palace.

"Hey, you guys wait! Guys!" Beth catches up to Sheridan and Luis. " This lady dressed like Cleopatra gave me a coupon, .99 cent steak and lobster dinner. Huh!" She looks at the casino, "Okay, I can totally settle down here. It's got everything I could ever want, including Hank! Look!" She spots Hank in his gladiator suit posing for a picture with two old ladies, "Oh! Look! Hi!"
"Oh my God." Luis says.
"Hey! Hank!" Beth says as they all head over to him. Hank spots them and panics. "Hey! Hey!! Wow!" Beth hugs him.
"Hi! What-what are you guys doing here? I thought I told you not to come." He asks nervously.
"Why are you dressed as a gladiator?" Beth asks.
"Uhh, because I'm shottign a scene right now. Yeah, I uh, I play a gladiator. Uh, you know what? Hold-hold on a second." Hank yells out to no one in particular, "Can we cut? Yeah, my-my friends are here, I'm gonna take a little break."
"Who are you talking to?" Sheridan asks.
"The uh, director. Uhh, her." Hank points to an old woman standing behind him. She glares at him and walks off, "All right, all right, it's not a gladiator movie. I work here." He caves.
"Why?! What happened?!" Luis asks.
"Well, the movie got shut down because they ran out of money, so I'm working here 'til it starts up again, if it ever does." Hank explains sadly.
"I'm so sorry." Sheridan touches his shoulder.
"Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell ya." Hank turns to Luis, "I'm sorry man."
"No-no, that's okay, apparently there's a new policy where we don't have to share everything with everybody." Luis glares at Sheridan.
"I knew you were not okay with that." Sheridan says.
"So you're a gladiator! Wow!" Beth tries to change the subject.
"Yeah, what-what's going on?" Hank asks confused.
"Sheridan had lunch with Richard." Beth explains.
"Dawson?!" Hank asks.
"Noo! But that would've been so cool!" Beth says.
"No! Her boyfriend Richard!" Luis snaps.
"It meant nothing! Okay? After all this time, how can you not trust me?" Sheridan asks.
"When you go lunching with hunky men and don't tell me about it!" Luis yells out. All of the people at the casino that haven't already been watching turn to watch the scene.
"You're right. I'm sorry. I should've told you."
"Thanks." Luis hugs Sheridan.
"Aww, there we go." Hank says.
"I promise you, next time I will absolutely tell you." Sheridan goes in for another hug.
Luis pushes her away, "Next time? There's not gonna be a next time! You cannot ever see him again!"
"I cannot see him? I mean, you can't just tell me what to do!" Sheridan snaps.
"That's so funny, because I think I just did!" He snaps back.
"Oh you know what? If you're going to be acting like this all night, I really, don't want to be around you." She says.
"Fine with me!"
"Fine! Happy Anniversary!" Sheridan says sarcastically.
"Whoa! Whoa! Guys! Please! Come on! Come on! This is obviously just a big misunderstanding." Hank says to the fighting couple.
"No it is not!" Sheridan says.
"What are you talking..." Luis starts.
"Hey-hey don't look at me! I just work here! Hank walks away.
