SCENE 6
(That night, GRACE is reading on her bed at the nurses' ward. The other nurses are in another room eating dinner. A knock is heard on the door.)
GRACE: (goes to answer the door. She sees DANNY with a black eye) Oh my God, what happened?
DANNY: Guess.
GRACE: Oh no! Come inside.
DANNY: (Looks around) Am I allowed?
GRACE: I'm a nurse and you're hurt. Of course you're allowed.
DANNY: (Smiles and enters)
GRACE: (Putting ice on DANNY'S eye) So, did I ruin your all's friendship?
DANNY: Naw, give it time.
GRACE: He's so protective of me. I wish he would stop.
DANNY: Cut him some slack.
GRACE: You're too nice. If he gave me a black eye, I wouldn't be willing to cut him some slack. (Kisses him softly on the mouth)
(Enter BARBARA)
BARBARA: Well, well, well...if it ain't the two lovebirds?
GRACE: Hi, Barb.
BARBARA: Either of you want some dinner? We forgot Evelyn wasn't coming and we got plenty extras.
DANNY: Where's Evelyn?
BARBARA: With your best friend.
DANNY: (Sarcastically) Oh, no, better go stop him.
GRACE: (Light bulb) Oh! I have a great idea!
DANNY and BARBARA: What?
GRACE: Okay, I follow Rafe and Evelyn. When the night ends, they will probably have - you know. So, I "accidentally" walk in on them and I pretend to get all mad, we'll see how he feels.
DANNY: What about Evelyn?
GRACE: We'll fill her in.
BARBARA: Sweetie, you sure this is a good idea?
GRACE: Come on, how bad can it be?
BARBARA: (Sighs) All right. They went to McCoy's Diner on the corner of 5th and 9th.
GRACE: (Hugs BARBARA) This will be so great! Danny! Come with me!
(They exit)
