Act 3: (cont'd)
INT. HOTEL SUITE - NIGHT
They shot the scene with Isabel and Dave taking a picture together differently than described here.

Isabel joins Dave on the couch. He pulls her close, hold a disposable camera at arm's length, and takes a picture.

Dave: For the wedding album. And for the record, do you spell Brandy with an I or Y?

Isabel: Y.

Dave: Good choice. (then) I don't suppose there's a chance I'll get your real name before the night is over.

Isabel: Are you calling me a liar?

Dave: Oh, no. I'm not going there -- not with you.

Isabel: What's that supposed to mean?

Dave: Let's just say I may not have known you for that long, but I know you're not someone I want to get all riled up.

Isabel: Really. Anything else you've gleaned from our brief time together?

Dave: I have a few thoughts... a few educated guesses...

Isabel: This should be good.

Dave: You're the oldest child in a small family. One or two brothers or sisters -- brothers. Now, you're at Notre Dame, and your studying... art history.

Isabel: Ooh. So close, but so wrong.

Dave: It's not easy, this instant analysis thing.

Isabel: You're from Texas. The panhandle. You have an accent you don't bother to hide because you think it makes you sound sexy. You like to disarm women with an easy grin and a few well-worn psychological insights that sounds like they're culled from talk radio, but in truth you grew up in a house filled with older sisters who wrote more of your material because they felt sorry for you.

Dave: You play rough.

Isable: (sweet) You can always quit. Seek easier game elsewhere.

Dave: Oh, I like it rough. And I like a challenge.

Isabel: Then we're going to get along just fine...

She gives him a teasing, almost smile and as Dave realizes the challenge before him with this girl...

Meanwhile, across the room --

Maria slices herself a gigantic piece of cake. Alex watches.

Alex: You're going to be all right, right?

Maria: I guess.

Alex: Now can I please go gamble?

Maria forks over her stack of cash, and he escapes. The phone RINGS. Maria grabs it.

Then scene continues as aired.

INT. HOTEL SUITE - NIGHT
Before Dave and Isabel dance.

Isabel dips her feet in the jacuzzi. Dave fiddles with the stereo, finds a sexy song.

Isabel: I love this song.

Dave: We never had our dance. You know -- that best man, maid of honor thing.

Isabel: Who are we to thumb our noses at tradition?

Continues as aired.

Same scene. After the deciding kiss of whether or not Isabel should go with Dave to his hotel.

Isabel: (cont'd) OK. I thought about it. Let's go.

He smiles and opens his mouth to say something. She puts a finger on his lips. Dave moves to get his coat. Suddenly, Isabel realizes the weight of her decision. For an instant, she's just a teenager from Roswell again. But before she can fully process this --

Dave returns. He indicates the door with a gallant gesture. Isabel smiles -- her game face back on -- and heads for the door.

Act 4:
EXT. CASINO - WALKWAY - NIGHT
Alternative scene where Max say bye to Liz before going back to Roswell.

Liz is catching up with Max as he heads out the doors.

Liz: Hey -- where are you going?

Max: I'm catching a cab to the airport.

Liz: What happened?

Max: Michael.

Liz: Oh. Well, I'm sure you two can work it out.

Max: I don't think so. Too much stuff was said.

Liz: You know, Maria's pretty convinced that Michael's mouth is in no way connected to his brain.

Max: Don't try to defend him. You weren't there.

Max sees a cab, WHISTLES.

Liz: If you leave... this trip isn't going to be the same.

Max: You'll have a better time without me. I'm a machine that ruins everyone else's good time.

Liz finally gives up. She walks back into the casino. A cab finally pulls up and deposits A YOUNG BRIDE and GROOM onto the sidewalk. The young, happy couple positively run into the casino. Max watches them go by... is about to get in the cab... then looks back...

THE BRIDE & GROOM - SLOW MOTION

Continues as aired.

INT. VEGAS DINNER THEATER - NIGHT
When Isabel tells Alex that she's the biggest freak on the planet.

Alex: No, you're not. That wasn't you. It was Brandy Alexander. You were playing a game, and when things go too real, you ran. Like you --

He stops himself.

Isabel: Like I always do.

Alex: Isabel, you lead a very complicated life. I don't know many people who could handle it. But you do. With grace, and strength, and humor. And if you think you're never gonna find a guy, that's not true. Because when you're ready for it, you'll make someone the happiest man ever.

Isabel: Alex, that's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me.

Alex: Well, I'm kind of an expert on things that make you great.

Isabel: How did I let you get away?

Alex: Wasn't your fault. You never had a chance. I can't be tied down to one woman, one place. I'm like the wind, Isabel. I have to keep moving.

She smiles at him and he grins back.

Isabel: Alex, will you dance with me?

Continues as aired.
