Summary: Classic Will and Grace, no Irene. Refers back to "Saving Grace, Again"

SCENE I: Lobby

GRACE: (Checking mail and starts licking it) Yum…..

ALAN: How's it taste? I've never tried it.

GRACE: (Turns around) Oh! Alan! (Hugs him) What are you doing here?

ALAN: Oh I have a thing with Will. Say…..you never called me back after our date.

GRACE: Yeah…..I'm so sorry; I got your message but-

ALAN: But?

GRACE: (Beat) Will and I went on a little vacation and the machine got broken so I never heard your message again.

ALAN: So you forgot about me.

GRACE: Well-

ALAN: (Laughs) its ok, I'm kidding.

GRACE: Oh (laughs with him) ok.

ALAN: Is it too late? You seeing anyone now?

GRACE: No, I really had fun that night. I mean I don't know if you're hinting a second date. (Beat) (Looks awkward and starts eating her mail again)

ALAN: All right.

GRACE: (Gets the elevator) Come on, I'll bring you up.

SCENE II: Jacques

JACK: (Bringing Karen a plate) Here you go, Kare Bear.

KAREN: What? What did I tell you, Jack? I said I would like a bagel with cream cheese sprinkled with allergy pills.

JACK: That's what this is!

KAREN: Yeah I also told you to hold the bagel and cream cheese.

JACK: Oh sorry.

KAREN: Its ok, I'll just pick the pills off.

JACK: (Sits down with her and drinks a cup of coffee)

KAREN: Aren't you supposed to be at work?

JACK: Uh huh I am. I'm working at home today. Yeah, boss told me to think up a new show to be on Out TV. Something good like maybe a sitcom?

KAREN: (Sighs) is it going to be something unoriginal like "Gay Friends", "Mad About Gays", or "Gay Sex and the City"

JACK: (Thinks) No I was thinking more on the line of, "Gilmore Gays" or "What I like about Gays."

KAREN: Honey, how about something more original, like something that doesn't have the word "Gay" in the title.

JACK: Like?

KAREN: (Scoffs) it's not my job, you think of one.

JACK: Well we just finished making another reality show, "Queer eye for the Queer guy" it's like "Queer eye for the Straight guy" but for kids who just came out.

KAREN: Oh I can tell that's going to be a huge hit.

JACK: Yeah but Boss says we need stop making reality shows and make like shows that involves acting. So he asked me to write a pilot.

KAREN: So you're a writer now?

JACK: This is just a one time thing I'll just pitch it to him and he'll hire someone else to continue it. Where's Irene? She's smart.

KAREN: (Sighs) I don't know, and I don't care.

WILL: (Taking out trash)

JACK: Hey Will, where's Irene?

WILL: She's at school, she's getting behind with working and not getting enough sleep because of the night classes.

KAREN: (Laughs) what a loser.

WILL: We're probably not going to see her for a week or so.

JACK: Oh then want to help me work? I have to think of a new show for Out TV.

WILL: I cant I'm going out with a colleague

JACK: Aw…..

WILL: Ask Karen, I bet if she drank red bull and over dosed on Focacil she'll be the new Einstein.

SCENE III: Doucette and Stein

In the board room…..

WILL: (Looking at papers) so we've reached in agreement, right?

ALAN: Yeah we both will get the number four meal down at the deli.

WILL: (Laughs) so you talked to Grace.

ALAN: Sure did.

WILL: Made any plans?

ALAN: Thinking about it, we haven't set a date though.

WILL: (Nods)

ALAN: I really like her you know? But there's this one problem…..

WILL: What?

ALAN: Since we last saw each other I started dating this other person.

WILL: Well dump the other person!

ALAN: Yeah too bad it's my wife.

WILL: What?!? You guys dated just a couple months ago, how did you get a wife so fast?

ALAN: It was a Vegas thing. (Beat) Listen, I was hoping you wouldn't tell Grace because I never really got to know my "wife" we were just having this casual sex thing going on but, if Grace and I hit it off I can get a divorce!

WILL: (Winces) Ew, you're gross. This is so unlike you.

ALAN: You've never seen me drunk.

WILL: Ok this is just wrong, I have to tell Grace.

ALAN: No there has to be a better way.

WILL: (Gives him a look)

ALAN: Don't look at me like that! Ok I have a plan.

SCENE IV: Jack's Apartment

JACK: (Pacing the room while Karen's on computer) Funny, funny, funny. I have to think of a show that's funny.

KAREN: Does it have to be a sitcom?

JACK: No but Out TV currently doesn't have any so I have a much greater chance that boss wont hit me over the head with a rolled up newspaper.

KAREN: Oh (nods)

JACK: I got it!

KAREN: (Gets excited) what?

JACK: No I don't….. (Beat) I got it!

KAREN: (Gets excited) what?

JACK: Oh I lost it again…..

KAREN: I got it!

JACK: (Gets excited) what?

KAREN: Oops sorry, I accidentally said your line.

JACK: (Beat) I got it!

KAREN: (Bored) What?

JACK: A show…..about a fat gay guy who has a hag, and has two friends. One's an incredibly hot gay man the other is a girl who has big boobs and a ridiculous voice.

KAREN: (Talking higher than usual) Oh honey I love it! Especially the character with the ridiculous voice, I can tell that one's a hoot!

JACK: Start typing.

KAREN: We need character names….

JACK: Wilbert, Gretchen, Jake, and Kaka.

KAREN: (Typing) Kaka!

BOTH: (Get excited and hovers around the computer)

SCENE V: Will's Apartment

GRACE: (Reading a magazine on the couch)

WILL: (Comes in) Hey.

GRACE: Hey cutie, I like your hair today.

WILL: Thanks, yours look good too.

GRACE: You look distracted.

WILL: No I'm just troubled right now. Get dressed, we're having dinner with Alan and his (beat) sister.

GRACE: He didn't tell me he had a sister.

WILL: (Laughs uncomfortably) He didn't tell me either. (Dials on his cell phone) I'll be at Jack's inviting him and Karen.

GRACE: Where are we going?

WILL: We're just having it here. (Leaves)

SCENE VI: Will's Apartment

JACK: (Sets up two more chairs at the table)

WILL: (Cooking)

KAREN & GRACE: (Drinking and relaxing)

WILL: Hey you know what will be nice?

KAREN & GRACE: What?

WILL: If you two helped me set the table and get things prepared.

KAREN: (Scoffs) in your dreams.

GRACE: I would but I'm kind of comfortable sitting here.

JACK: (Sets the table)

WILL: Thanks Jack, see you guys? Jack is usually lazy and slow but he's helping. Why don't you follow by example?

JACK: Um, I'm only helping you because Irene said if I don't be good tonight she was going to sneak in the middle of the night and cut my hair.

WILL: (Sighs) Whatever (Hands him some food to put on the table)

KAREN: (To Grace) Oh honey, I forgot to tell you, Jackie and I made this script for a sitcom to air on Out TV. Yeah, we were hoping if you would read it and give us a comment.

GRACE: Sure.

KAREN: Ok here. (Takes a piece of paper out of her purse)

GRACE: It's one page (smiles)

KAREN: Well it's just the pilot…..

GRACE: Still it's a one paged script usually a half hour show is about 14-16 pages long.

JACK: (Joins them) And you would know this, how?

GRACE: Because I am a TV fanatic and I just so happen to own a couple of transcripts.

JACK: Darn it (runs out and comes back with a laptop in his hand) Come on Karen, our work isn't done yet!

KAREN: Ok honey let me put on my thinking cap. (Takes out red bull and starts taking pills)

SCENE VI: Dinnertime

ALAN: (Comes in and hugs Will) Hey (Kisses Grace on the cheek) Nice to see you again.

GRACE: Same (takes his coat)

FRANKIE: (Comes in)

ALAN: This is Frankie my- yeah.

JACK: Oh shitake mushrooms!

KAREN: What, honey?

JACK: That's the girl I (puffs up his cheeks like about to throw up)

KAREN: Oh Jackie, she's a looker. (Looks at her up and down) oh yeah I'm feeling her.

JACK: I wish Irene was here so she can kick her ass again!

KAREN: She's Grace's boyfriend's sister.

JACK: They don't even look alike, something smells fishy.

FRANKIE: (Saying her hellos to Grace and Will and sees Jack on the couch) Jack.

JACK: (Screams like a girl and runs to Will's balcony)

KAREN: (Laughs and goes up to Frankie) you're hot, want to make out?

FRANKIE: I'm straight.

KAREN: (Shrugs) So am I. So tell me Diane…..

FRANKIE: Frankie.

KAREN: Diane.

FRANKIE: My name is Frankie.

KAREN: Yes but I am calling you Diane. (Beat) So tell me, what was it like to sleep with the queer?

FRANKIE: I rather not talk about it.

KAREN: Why?

FRANKIE: Because last time I talked about it I was beaten up by a person half my height.

KAREN: Man! I wanted to see that!

WILL: (In the kitchen) Grace, I need to tell you something.

GRACE: What? Oh my god you're using your serious face, you're scaring me what is it?!?!

WILL: Ok first of all: calm down. It's about Alan.

GRACE: Frankie's not his sister.

WILL: How'd you know?

GRACE: I might be slow but I'm not stupid. So who is she?

WILL: His wife.

GRACE: Whoa, what?!?

WILL: You said you knew that-

GRACE: Yeah I know what I said but I thought she might be a cousin or a lesbian he's a hag of.

WILL: Ok, play it cool.

GRACE: What? I am disgusted.

WILL: For what it's worth he wasn't married when you went out with him.

GRACE: Oh ok I'm just skeptical now.

FRANKIE: (Goes to the balcony) Hey.

JACK: (Screams again)

FRANKIE: Will you quit doing that? You're giving me a migraine.

JACK: Ew, ew, ew, ew, get away from me.

FRANKIE: Ok look, I am here for my husband, I am just here to eat dinner with you guys and that's it.

JACK: Why is it still talking to me?

FRANKIE: Oh forget it….. (Goes back inside)

(Looks like a riot)

GRACE: (Hitting Alan) I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!

WILL: Grace quit it!!

KAREN: (Laughing in the kitchen)

ALAN: I didn't talk to you weeks after!

GRACE: Yeah "I haven't dated in a couple of weeks, I am guess I got to marry a whore!"

KAREN: (To Frankie) why aren't you offended?

FRANKIE: Oh I am a whore.

GRACE: (Starts hitting again)

ALAN: Ow!!

WILL: Grace, stop or else I am making you sleep outside tonight!

ALAN: Look I didn't mean to- I really like you.

GRACE: (Hits him one more time)

ALAN: Ah!

GRACE: I would like it if you left.

ALAN: Come on Frankie.

FRANKIE: (Gives Karen a piece of paper) Call me (Leaves)

SCENE VII: Will's Apartment

WILL & GRACE: (Reading the script)

GRACE: This sounds oddly familiar.

WILL: Names ring a bell too.

JACK & KAREN: (Clueless) How?

GRACE: You wrote a sitcom on what just happened tonight. Will Wilbert, Me Gretchen, Karen Kaka, and Jack Jake.

JACK: Huh, Grace is one smart cookie.

KAREN: What a coincidence! Wow…..

WILL: I don't want this to be on TV.

JACK: Yes you do.

WILL: Yes I do but I don't want my name as Wilbert….. What kind of a name is Frankster?

JACK: That's like asking why is a female named Frankie?
