Time:C.C.'s Birthday Party - The greeting of guests.
Setting: Inside the Capwell Home.
Characters: Mason, Ted, Kelly, Cruz, Santana, Rosa, Peter, and C.C.
Premise: Mason, Ted, and Kelly are standing around in the living room dressed
up in fancy clothes for the party. No guests have arrived yet. Rosa is carrying
around a tray of hors d'oeuvres. Mason is still keeping a close eye on the gifts
arriving looking for the tape recording.
Ted: (After tasting one of Rosa's hors d'oeuvres.) Rosa, this is
fantastic! What's in here?
Rosa: Rosa's secret ingredient. Mason, will you have one?
Mason: Uh, no, Rosa, I have some business to attend to. (He
rushes out of the room.
)
Kelly: There he goes again, off to the gift pile. He's been
hovering around that thing all day.
Ted: I don't know what, but that guy's up to something.
Kelly: Come on! When's Mason not up to something?

Next scene: Mason sitting at the gift table. Cruz is let in through the front door
and Mason stands up and approaches him.
Mason: Cruz! I believe you have your dates mixed up.
Cruz: Do I?
Mason: The company picnic was last month. This is my
father's birthday.
Cruz: I got my invitation in the car.
Mason: Well, I suppose I could make you go get it but that wouldn't
be polite.
Cruz: Good to see you too, Mason.
Mason: (Noticing the present in Cruz's hand.) Well how
thoughtful, you even brought a gift.
Cruz: Yeah, they were having a sale on consciences. I got you and your father a
matching set.
Mason: (Laughs) How cordial of you.
Cruz: Hostility does tend to breed hostility, doesn't it?
Mason: Oh, Cruz, do you think I'm being hostile?
Cruz: You haven't exactly welcomed me with open arms.
Mason: (Spreads his arms out.) How's that?
Cruz: (He's amused but far from touched.) Not
quite convincing.
Mason: Oh I just realized you may not have heard.
Cruz: About what?
Mason: About yours and my favorite little senorita.

Mason: (Chuckles) No. Give me a little credit, Cruz. I wouldn't sink
to something 'that' low.
Cruz: Not at least to my face.
Mason: I'm just wondering if you've seen Santana since you got back?
Cruz: Briefly.
Mason: Well, then you may have heard about the new boyfriend. Seems that while you
were away, our favorite little mouse has been playing with a very interesting cat.
Cruz: So you found out too? (Cruz knows about Santana and C.C.'s affair.)
Mason: Yeah, nothing escapes me at all.
Cruz: That must have surprised you though?
Mason: No, not really. He's a man, she's a woman. I guess she just has a taste for
older men. Old Bill Larwin. Who would have thought it?
Cruz: Bill Larwin?
Mason: She did tell you about it?
Cruz: Just that it was, uh- (He unsuccessfully tries to suppress a
smile
), some guy.
Mason: Yeah, kind of guy you can't stand, Cruz. You know, the sort of guy who's good
on the squash board. Never gets his fingernails dirty.
Cruz: (Playing along.) Don't tell me, an attorney too?
Mason: Yeah, must have been a terrible blow to your ego.
Cruz: As you can see I'm devastated. (He's actually finding this all amusing.)
Mason: Tough act to complete with, an established attorney.
Cruz: You know Mason, no one, and I mean no one, can wear egg on their face like
you.
Mason: What's that suppose to mean?
Cruz: For your sake I hope you never find out. Now if you'll
excuse me I think I'll use your restroom facilities. Oh, hey, if it's
not asking for too much would you add this to the gift pile? (
He
tosses the gift to Mason who catches it
.) Thanks pal, you're a
real sport.
