5. Sports Night desk, after the show. Casey is taking off his mike and Dana
has just walked into the room.
DANA: [Staring off into the distance.] Do you know who was on the set during the show?
CASEY: I'm going to go with…me…and Dan…and the camera guys.
DANA: You're forgetting someone.
CASEY: Oh, was Jeremy's imaginary friend Pierre Gustave Toussant-Beauregard here again?
DANA: No…What?
CASEY: Never mind. Who was here, Dana?
DANA: The White Thunder.
CASEY: Wasn't he a character in "Dances With Wolves"?
[Dana sighs exasperatedly.]
CASEY: Wait. No, that was the name of a drink I had on spring break my junior year of college.
DANA: Focus, here, Case. The White Thunder—currently the holder of the middleweight title in women's boxing.
CASEY: Where was she?
DANA: She was right on the set, Casey! She shook your hand!
CASEY: [looking confused] That was Dan's girlfriend.
DANA: [moving to sit on the desk] She's Dan's girlfriend? That must be why Isaac took Dan off the exclusive. He knew.
CASEY: That cute little blonde is a boxer?
DANA: Why didn't he tell me? Did he tell you?
CASEY: No, he didn't. We've already talked about that—apparently he doesn't need to tell me everything. God, if I were dating her, I'd be telling everyone.
DANA: You seem a little wowed by Danny's new girlfriend.
CASEY: I know. I'm gushing. But did you see her? She's gorgeous! She's got those legs that go all the way up! Those eyes. That mouth!
DANA: Yeah, yeah. She's got a face.
[A long silence ensues.]
DANA: You're not happy, are you?
CASEY: It just seems to me that if Danny didn't tell me he was dating Olivia, there must be a reason.
[Casey walks off.]
DANA: Or, it could be that this is something that is just important to him, and he didn't want us meddling in it…
