Dan and Casey's office Dan : When I was younger, I believed in fairy tales. Casey : That's cute. And what happened ? Dan : I kissed a turtle. Casey : You what ?! A turtle ? Dan : I was confused. I thought it would become a prince. Casey : A princess. Dan : No, a prince. I might have been confused, but I knew that I was gay. Casey : A turtle. Dan : Well, bi actually. Casey : A turtle. Dan : Stop repeating yourself. Casey : Dan... How old were you ? Dan : Six, I think. Hey, you all right Case ? Casey : I'm trying to understand the whole turtle thing. Dan : Sally was his name. I know-- we thought he was a she at first. (Jeremy appears at their door) Jeremy : Hey ! Dan : Hey ! Casey : ... Jeremy : That tape you need, do you want me to... Casey, are you all right ? Dan : I told him about the turtle. Jeremy : I see. I always wondered why you didn't try with a frog. Dan : First of all, I was confused. Second of all, ew. At least the turtle was cute. Casey : You told *him* ? When ? Jeremy : Technically, he told Nathalie. Dan : And Nathalie can't keep her mouth shut. (Nathalie appears at the door) Nathalie : Hey ! Dan : And she eavesdrops. Nathalie : Die. Casey, Dana wants you. Dan : That's new. Nathalie : In her office. Dan : She likes risky sex; that's definitively new. (At the same time) Casey : Shut up. Nathalie : Shut up. (Casey leaves) Nathalie : He looked disturbed. What's up ? Jeremy : Dan told him about the turtle. Nathalie : Really ? Does that mean, I can talk about it with other people ? Dan : You mean you haven't ? I'm shocked. Where is the world going ? And the answer is no. Nathalie : Oh, okay. Bye. Jeremy : I hope you're ready for the outing. Dan : We'll have to gag her one of this days. ******** 2:15 PM
Dana's office. Dana : So you'll have to do the interview at one o'clock because of it. Casey : Okay. Dana : And you'll have to wear pantyhose and sing Hopelessly Devoted to You. Casey : Okay. Dana : Casey, you're not listening. Casey : Okay. Dana : Casey ! Casey : What ? Dana : You're not here. What is it ? What's bothering you ? Casey : Just something Dan said. Dana : Okay. What was it ? Casey : When he was six years old, he kissed a turtle hoping it would become a prince. Dana : A turtle. Casey : My reaction exactly. ******** 2:15 PM
Elliot, Nathalie and Kim in a room beside the buffet. Elliot : A turtle ? Why a turtle ? Nathalie : He says he was confused. Kim : It's kind of cute. Nathalie : My thought exactly. Elliot : Do you think he keeps doing it ? Nathalie : I think so. I doubt he has found his prince. Kim : Hey, was - what was his name ?- Paul a turtle ? Elliot : Paul ? Nathalie : You mean the guy with dark hair and green eyes ? Elliot : Oh, you mean Paul Aldridge, the writer. Kim : Yes, that one. He pinched Casey's butt. Nathalie : Maybe, I don't know. We'd have to ask Dan. (Dan enters while Nathalie speaks) Dan : Ask me what ? Elliot : was Paul a turtle ? Dan : He looked human to me. You just can't keep you're mouth shut. Kim : So, was he ? Dan : Yes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do. Any further question will have to be work-related. (Dan takes an apple and leaves) Elliot : You think Casey's a turtle ? ******** 2:25 PM
Dana's office Nathalie : Hey ! Dana : Hey ! Nathalie : Did you know that Dan... Dana : I know. Nathalie : You know ? Who told you ? Dana : Casey. Nathalie : Oh, what did he say ? Dana : Not much. He was shocked by the turtle. Nathalie : Did you know that Paul was one ? Dana : Paul who ? Nathalie : Paul Aldridge, the writer. Dana : Oh, him. He was ? Nathalie : Yes. It gives a whole new meaning to the whipped cream incident. Dana : Yeah. Maybe... Nathalie : What ? Dana : It's an interesting image. Nathalie : Yes it is. Dana : I doubt Casey knows. Nathalie. I'm on it. ******** 2:30 PM
The costumes room Nathalie : Did you know Paul Aldridge was a turtle ? Casey : Paul Aldridge, the one who pinched my butt ? Nathalie : The one and only. Jeremy : He's a turtle ? Since when ? Nathalie : Since always. We just didn't know. Jeremy : And Dan kissed him ? Nathalie : I'm sure of it. Although, it obviously didn't work. Jeremy : Mmmm. What would Dan see in him ? Nathalie : He's gorgeous for one. Casey : Barely. Nathalie : He's funny, he's intelligent, he speaks German and Spanish... Casey : Enough. Nathalie : ... he likes sports *and* he's got a cute butt. Casey : I said enough. Jeremy : I can see the interest. Nathalie : *Can* you, now ? Jeremy : From an intellectual point of view. Casey : Could you please talk about something else ? Nathalie : I'm sure he did more than kiss him. Casey : Oh, for God's sake. (Casey leaves) Nathalie : Do you think it worked ? Jeremy : He seemed jealous to me. Nathalie : Do you think Casey's a turtle ? Jeremy : Definitively. The question is : is he a prince charming in disguise ? ******** 2:35 PM
Dan and Casey's office. (Casey enters their office. Dan is already there.) Casey : Dan ! Dan : Casey. (long silence) Casey : What happened after you kissed the turtle ? Dan : It didn't work. Casey : Obviously. Dan : So I've been trying with other turtles. Casey : Really. Dan : Yes, but I haven't found one who's Prince Charming. Casey : Why do you think ? Dan : I've been kissing the wrong turtles. Casey : Was Paul Aldridge a turtle ? Dan : Maybe, why ? Casey : I... He pinched my butt. Dan : That doesn't mean he's one. Many people are turtles and they haven't pinched your butt. Casey : How many is many ? Dan : You don't want to know. (silence) Casey : Do you think you'll keep trying ? Dan : Depends. Casey : On what ? Dan : I want to try it on someone to see if I have to keep searching. Casey : Who ? Dan : You're cute when you're jealous. (interesting stuff happens) Casey : I can't get the image of you in a dress out of my mind. Dan : A white dress ? Casey : You're not that pure Danny. Ouch, that's my butt you're pinching. Dan : It's mine now. Casey : Oh really ? (more interesting stuff happens) Dan : You know what ? Casey : Mmmm ? Dan : I think you were a cute turtle, but you're now a handsome prince. The End.
