Will: Yeah.
Harry: Will, are you okay, you seem kind of distracted?
Will: Yeah, I'm fine, it's just that I was thinking maybe I should have made Jack some chicken soup before I left, I don't think he's eaten,
Harry: If he's hungry, Grace will feed him.
Will: You've obviously never eaten Grace's cooking.
Harry: Honey, he'll be fine, it's just the flu, rest is the best thing for him it seems he has been getting plenty of that, you said he slept all day.

Will: But Jack, you're my best friend, you have to come.
Jack: (signs) Okay, I'll see what I can do.
Will: You know Jack, I really thought you'd be happier for me.
Jack: I am happy for you, it's just hard to find someone to switch weekends, but I said I'd try, give me a break.
Will: Okay, Okay, I'll leave you alone, you obviously don't want company right now. I'll see you later, okay, we're still on for dinner right?

Scene 11- Will and Grace's apartment
Will walks into the apartment.
Will: Grace, have you noticed Jack's been acting weird lately?
Grace: He's been quieter lately, but he's getting over the flu.
Will: I'm not sure that's it.
Grace: What do you mean?
Will: I don't know, he just seems… I can't think of the right word, but whenever the wedding is
brought up he just seems…I don't know.
Grace: Maybe, seeing you about to get married makes him realize that he wants more than just flings, maybe he's starting to wonder if he'll ever find someone.
Will: Maybe.
Scene 12- Jack's apartment.
Jack: Cher, Will's starting to notice my attitude, for now on I am going to act as if nothing has happened, I cant let Will know what I really feel, he loves Harry, he wants to marry him and there's no way I am going to ruin it for him. I guess that means I'll have to be the best man at the wedding, it's going to be so hard to watch him marry someone else, but I must do it…for Will.
