Emma: Of course you don't want to know any news if it's bad. But that means living the rest of your life in ignorance... Now, even if the truth is scary, wouldn't you rather know than live in the dark?

I think you know what you need to do. And don't worry, I will be with you every step of the way. Set up our next session with my assistant. Oh, um, actually she's out with a dental emergency, so please contact me directly. Oh and one more thing...good luck.

(sound of video ending.)

Emma: (relieved sigh)

Alex: Hey. I thought you hated those things.

Emma: I didn't think you were ever coming back. 

Alex: Hey... It's okay.

Emma: Sorry. I'm fine. 

Alex: No, this is exactly what I was afraid of. The second I heard about Jane and Frank I knew how upset you'd be.

Emma: No! No, no, you just surprised me, that's all.

Alex: Emma! You don't have to pretend. I'm sure it came as a shock. And as cliche as it sounds, time will heal all wounds. 

Emma: No, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be? Wait, did you think I had feelings for Frank? 

Alex: I... he definitely seemed to make you happy...

Emma: Oh, I'm so embarrassed. Alex, please believe me, I was never in love with Frank. I may have gotten carried away by the attention, but that's as far as it got.

Alex: But...I thought that...

Emma: Annie did too. There was nothing there. 

Alex: That's good. I was afraid that I'd have to go over and kick his ass for leading you on.

Emma: Oh I'd like to see that.

Alex: Maybe I'll steal his pomade

Emma: There's no need to resort to that kind of violence. You were right. Again.

Alex: It's not important. 

Emma: How many times does that make that?

Alex: Who's counting? Three to four...hundred.

(Theme song plays)

Emma: Alex, I wish I had listened to you. Not only did I make a fool out of myself, but when I think of what I did to Jane... I don't know how she could ever forgive me.

Alex: No, you didn't know what was going on...

Emma: You did.

Alex: I didn't come back to gloat. 

Emma: What did make you come back? 

Alex: I was always planning on coming back, but when the news broke about Jane and Frank's relationship, I left right away to see how you were. 

Emma: Well, now you see I'm fine! We're all fine.

Alex: Emma, I'm sorry for the way that I left. 

Emma: No, don't apologize. I deserved everything that you said and you were right about everything.

Alex: No, as soon as I left I realized that it was a mistake. I mean, it doesn't make sense for me to run away when there's somebody I care about so much here. And... I was miserable being away from her. 

Emma: Well... We managed without you. But it wasn't easy. Luckily Maddy stepped in.

Alex: Emma, did you just hear what I said? 

Emma: Alex, what if whatever you're going to say changes everything and we can never go back to the way things were?

Alex: I've thought about that. And...I'm prepared. I mean, at least the truth'll be out on the table.

Emma: I don't think I'm ready to hear it.

Alex: Well if you just listen to me I think that...

Emma: Oh, I almost forgot! Maddy brought this for you. Look! She did a profits-and-loss projection for the next five years. And she installed budgeting software on my computer.

Alex: This is great...I guess I should get back to my office then... Lot of...catching up to do...

Emma: Okay. Alex came back to tell me that he's in love with Harriet. Clearly, this is huge, earth-shattering news that will change everything. But this is the perfect situation to test what I have been working on this past month. I will pull it together and handle it like... a professional.

Emma, I know you're in a difficult situation, but when confronted with a conflict of interest, you need to ask yourself a very important question: whose happiness matters most?

Whose happiness matters most? Alex's happiness. Alex's happiness matters most. And if he will be happy with Harriet, then I want him to be with her. 

(to Alex's office)

Sorry, that was rude. Seems all I do these days is apologize. 

Alex: It's okay. I mean, maybe you were right. 

Emma: No, no, you have something to say and I'm willing to hear it. I will listen to you as your friend, and I will stand by you as your friend.

Alex: As my friend? Is that what you want?

Emma: I just want you to be happy. So come on, hit me with it. I'm ready.

Alex: You have no idea what I'm talking about. 

Emma: Yes I do. I know what you're going to say and I'm ready.

Alex: No, wait here.

Emma: Wait, where are you going?

Alex: Just...don't go anywhere. (he leaves)

Emma: Okay, you can do this. It's all gonna be okay. Just be strong, and be brave... What are these? 

Alex (returning): I told you I could get a girl flowers.

Emma: But flowers are romantic. Flowers are romantic. 

Alex: Emma Woodhouse, I don't have the words to tell you how in love with you I am. But maybe if I loved you less, I could talk about it more.

Emma: I- I thought you weren't...

Alex: Okay, clearly you don't have the words either.

Emma: I just... I can't... Are you sure? What about the business? 

Alex: I don't care. 

Emma: What about our families? Izzy and John...

Alex: We'll figure it out. 

Emma: Alex, your friendship means everything to me. I can't lose you. What if we screw this up?

Alex: Not a chance. Okay, you know me. You know that I am difficult and grumpy and set in my ways. But if you'll let me, I will spend every day trying to make you happy. Emma, say something. (they kiss)
 
Was that a yes?

Emma: You can't tell that was a yes?

Alex: I was just making sure. Just out of curiosity, how was that?

Emma: Very Emma Approved. 

Alex: Wait, what did you think I was going to tell you about before?

Emma: Before? (gasp) Harriet!
