Michael
[Michael walks into Julianne's hotel room when she's in her underwear.]

You want me to turn around or something?

Julianne

Yes. Uh, not the person I was expecting.

Michael

I've seen you a lot more naked than that.

Julianne

Well, things are... different now.

Michael

Yeah, guess so... Um, you look really good... without your clothes on.

Julianne
[George is calling "Jules, Jules" from down the phone]

George, she's toast!

Michael

You can't dance. When did you learn how to dance?

Julianne

I've got moves you've never seen.

Michael

You're an imposter. What did you do with my best friend?

Julianne

I'm still your best friend, you just haven't seen me for a while.

Michael

We don't even have a song, Kim and I. We don't have a song. Do you think that's bad sign? [sings] "Someday, when I'm awfully low, and the world is cold, I'll will feel a glow, just thinking of you, and the way you look tonight." Is your dance card filled?

Julianne

Well, I'd have to check, I keep it on powerbook these days.

Michael

Is that right? [they dance as he sings]

Julianne

I'll make this quick, or I'm gonna have this massive coronary, then you'll never hear it, and you have to. This is, by far, the dumbest thing I've ever done in my entire life. Uh, so dumb, in fact, that, uh, I can't... Ohh, but I'm gonna.

Michael

What's wrong?

Julianne

Michael, I love you. I've loved you for nine years, I've just been too arrogant and scared to realize it. And, well, now I'm just scared. So, I realize this comes at a very inopportune time, but I really have this gigantic favor to ask of you. Choose me, marry me, let me make you happy. Oh, that sounds like three favors, doesn't it? [kisses him]

Julianne

I have done nothing but under-handed, despicable, not even terribly imaginative things since I got here. But I was... Michael, I was just trying to... to win you. To win you back. But that doesn't excuse any of it. I'm... pond scum. Well, lower actually, I'm like the fungus the feeds on pond scum.

Michael

Lower. The pus that infects the mucus, that cruds up the fungus that feeds on the pond scum... On the other hand, thank you. For loving me that much, that way, it's pretty flattering.

Julianne

Except it makes me fungus.

Michael

Well, that part I knew.
