Massimo Marone, Nick and Jack are at Marone industries. 

Jack: How is health grandpa?

Massimo: Improving all the time. 

Jack: And your love life?

Nick: Jack really loves to ask all these personal questions.

Jack: What? I am curious how my grandpa and his lovely Shauna are doing.

Nick: Well she's pretty lovely. I agree. A real looker.

Massimo: You have that right. I still don't know how I've landed this young, beautiful woman.

Jack: Because you are a charming Marone.

Massimo: Ok, enough about me... Where is Sally? She didn't come over for 2 weeks... She usually visited you... Why doesn't she do it anymore?

Jack looks uncomfortable.

Next scene: Thomas and Sally talk at FC.

Thomas: Sorry for talking about myself all the time. You are a great friend. 

Sally: You can always talk to me. 

Thomas: I know and I also know that I do not deserve your friendship...

Sally: Oh come on...

Thomas: It's true. I keep on complaining about Caroline, but some time ago I ruined things between us. 

Sally: I forgave you. I completely moved on.

Thomas: You are amazing. You know that?

Sally: Actually I do.

Thomas smiled.

Sally: So you think your mom could convince Caroline to come home?

Thomas: I don't think so. Caroline really hates me now.

Sally: Nonsense. She probably still loves you. 

Thomas: I hope so... I wanted to go with my mom, but Caroline made it clear that seeing me makes her sick. What about you?

Sally: What about me?

Thomas: Yeah... How is your love life? 

Sally: Uhmm... Stable. 

Thomas: Stable? Sounds boring.

The two smiled.

Sally: Oh Thomas...

Thomas: But seriously... How is my cousin treating you?

Sally: Fine.

Thomas: Tell me more

Sally: Okay... Well, his age... Starts to... Become a problem.

Thomas: He is not that much younger than you... 

Sally: Maybe, but he is on a different page than me. I want to have a baby and he doesn't.

Thomas: Ouch... That's a problem. 

Sally: It really is. I don't want to wait years to become a mom.  I want it to happen as soon as possible... 

Next scene:  Massimo, Nick and Jack continue talking.

Massimo: So Sally wants to be a mom...

Jack: Yes. 

Nick: She is a few years older than you and she might believe that she doesn't have as much time as you...

Jack: She is still young.

Massimo: But it's her desire to become a mother. 

Jack: Hey, I am not ready for this. One day I will want it...
