EVE: Once again, Lucy succeeds.
Why is it that even in absense she triumphs?
CHRIS: What's this?
EVE: Have you not been listening to a word I've said?
CHRIS:Sorry I've been preparing for this hearing with the hospital board. Oh a heating pad (he notes what Eve has on the desk) Thanks for making my dreams com true.
EVE: It's not for you. It's for Kevin. If you had been listening to me, you'd know that.
CHRIS: Well, once again, I'm sorry, your higness. I guess I'm a self-centered jerk who's more concerned that his medical career could be in the toilet than he is with a friend's turmoil over--over whatever. Shoot me.
EVE: (gives him a look) Well, I ordered it from the pharmacy for Kevin because he threw his back out during the limbo contest at Johnny Lala's.
CHRIS: Oh, well, it's very sweet of you.
EVE: IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY. It
was a waste of money.
CHRIS: Because?
EVE: I'm giving it back.
CHRIS: He already has
one?
EVE: Probably and I'll
bet you 10 bucks it's got Lucy Coe's initials monogrammed all over it.
(next scene as Eve is still turmoiled over the idea that Kevin is still hung on on Lucy. Despite worrying about saving his own skin about the DL-56 Scandal, Chris offers Eve up advice none the less as he doesn't like seeing her upset.)
CHRIS: You know, I can understand why you wouldn't want to give that think to kevin. A sentimental, mushy present like a hearting pad could give a man the wrong impression.
EVE: It's not about the present. It's about protecting myself. When I was with Scott, I was always haunted by the ghost of Dominique and with Kevin, I'm haunted by the ghost of Lucy and she's still alive.
CHRIS: yeah well, I hate to break it to you, but anybody you get involved with is bound to have some sort of a past.
EVE: Fine. I'm just not going to date anyone then.
CHRIS: You want my advice?
EVE: No.
CHRIS: I think you're making
a big mistake.
EVE: Uh-huh. This coming from a man who has serious commitment phobias.
CHRIS: Oh, now, come on. Now,
you know the only woman for me is you.
EVE: Oh right. So is
that why you've been drooling all over Courtney Kanelos?
CHRIS: Quit changing the subject. I'm serious.
EVE: Fine. I'm just...I'm not going to risk rejection based on your vacuous promptings.
CHRIS: Well, come on I mean Kevin has a thing for you, and it's obvious you have one for him.
EVE:Yeah, well, I'm just--
CHRIS: And, hey, you're 500 times
the woman Lucy Coe will ever be.
EVE: That's exactly what Scott
Baldwin said to me on his way out the door.
CHRIS: Oh, come on. The fact
that Baldwin dumped you for Lucy says more about him than it does about
you. (she's still upset and he tries further to ease her worries
despite the fact that he's been harboring secret feelings of love for her)
Hey, what's the big deal? What's the worst that can happen? You get
dumped again.
EVE: Why the heck do I even listen to you?
CHRIS: Because you don't want to end up becoming a bitter old maid with curlers in her hair and a big, flabby butt.
EVE: Hey.
CHRIS: And because I'm right.
Look, if you really--(he pauses a bit as this is hard for him as he appears
to think about his own feelings for her for a moment deciding to push them
aside and let her be happy with Kevin) if you really want Kevin, I think
you should go after him.
