INT. BAR - NIGHT #20#

The same bar from episode 3. Amber bulbs, clink of glass racks, a low bass under the chatter. Rather than standing at the high-top, Will and MAYA are sitting in an alcove booth.

MAYA

Bullshit.

WILL

No, I'm telling you, the guy lifted the piano with his bare hands. Then he spent the rest of the night on the couch. But he saved Eric's hand.

MAYA

And where were you during all this?

WILL

I was in the room next door wondering why I heard a C major chord.

MAYA

How do you always get in trouble when I'm not around?

WILL

This is why I need you around. In fact, it's something I wanted to talk to you about.

MAYA

What is it?

WILL

I want you to move in with me.

MAYA

William Thomas Weiss, are you drunk?

WILL

No ma'am.

MAYA

Then let's get drunk. To celebrate.

WILL

Yes?

MAYA

Yes.

He takes her hand over the table, smiles, stands up and walks to the bar. At the rail he leans in on one elbow. He lifts two fingers to flag the bartender.

HANNAH (O.S)

You remind me of someone!

Will turns and is shocked to see Hannah there.

WILL

I told you not to follow me.

HANNAH

You told me lots of things.

Back at the booth, Julia sits opposite Maya.

JULIA

Hi.

MAYA

Hi. Do I know you?

JULIA

I don't think so. I'm Julia. We're friends of Will's.

MAYA

You seem familiar, but I don't think he ever mentioned you.

JULIA

Really? We go way back.

Back at the bar, Will's getting restless.

HANNAH

You seem nervous.

(looks at alcove)

Have you been cheating on me?

WILL

Very funny.

HANNAH

No, I don't think so. Nothing about this is funny.

WILL

We need to talk.

HANNAH

I agree.

WILL

Just not here.

He grabs Hannah's arm, THE HUM starts, and they're transported to...
