Disposal of the Evil
Preliminary scene
MAC and MIC stand in MAC's apartment, looking at each other. They have clearly been in a fight, for both are glaring. MIC turns and stomps out of the apartment, slamming the door after him. In a fit of rage, MAC takes her engagement ring and flings it after him. She stomps to her room and closes the door behind her. Quiet crying can be heard, then the sound of a phone, dialing. MAC's voice comes faintly from behind the door.
MAC: Harm?
Scene one
HARM's apartment. RENEE is there. They stand, glaring at each other.
HARM points at door: GET OUT. NOW. DON'T COME BACK. EVER. RENEE stalks out, grabbing her handbag from the table by the door. She slams the heavy door behind her, and HARM winces as the dishes in the sink rattle. He sinks into a chair, tired, and the phone rings. He sighs, and then answers.
HARM: Mac? Are you okay? You don't sound too good. Yeah, I understand. I'll be right over. He hangs up the phone and grabs his coat, gently shutting the door behind him…the door RENEE had slammed out of minutes before.

Scene two
MAC's apartment. HARM walks up to the door and knocks. MAC opens the door, and you can see that she has been crying.
MAC: Come on in, Harm.
HARM enters, and takes MAC's hands in his. Worriedly: Mac, where's your ring? Mac, what happened?
MAC beginning to cry again: He's gone. It's over. HARM takes her in his arms, gently petting her hair, letting her cry it out. When she stops, she draws back and wipes her eyes.
MAC: I'm sorry, Harm. You probably think me some sort of soppy female, but--
HARM jokingly: it's OK. Mic is probably doing the same for Renee right now.
MAC astonished: Harm! You, you, you, Harm!
HARM: She's gone.
MAC hopefully: Really?
HARM: You know why she's gone? Because of you.
MAC: Me?
HARM: Yes. You.
MAC: Why?
HARM: Because. I love you.
MAC: ME?
HARM draws her close, then leans down to kiss her: Yes. YOU.
