Charlie: (talking on the phone, pacing back and forth) "No. No, I'm not ready yet. Right. I KNOW she is a nice person but I'm...I'm just not ready yet ok? Okay, I'll think about it. Bye." (hangs up phone as Bailey enters)

Bailey: Who was that?

Charlie: My friend is trying to set me up with this woman.

Bailey: (smiles) So what's the problem?

Charlie: Bay, I'm not ready yet for this. I mean, I don't like to be set up with in the first place.

Bailey: What's wrong with being set up?

Charlie: I just like to meet people in the old-fashioned way. You meet them by chance.

Bailey: Oh, you mean like you're both in a supermarket and both of you bump into each other's carts and you both look up and smile at each other and start talking?

Charlie: (smiles) Maybe.

Bailey: (smiles) So what are you going to do tonight, Charlie? How about you and me go get something to eat or something?

Charlie: Actually I was going to stay here and watch this show on Fox at nine o'clock.

Bailey: (smiles) Is it that one that the critics are all raving about?

Charlie: Yeah, it's a great show! I watch it every Wednesday night!

Bailey: Charlie, we've got to get you out of the house!

Charlie: (smiles & laughs)

All: Cheers!

Bailey is sitting in the porch and Charlie comes up to him

Charlie: Bay, you ok?

Bailey: Yeah. Well, I was just thinking.

Charlie: About?

Bailey: What do you think, Charlie?

Charlie: You really miss her, huh?

Bailey: More than you or anyone will ever know. And today she tells me she met this guy at Berkeley and it just hit me, Charlie, that maybe it really IS over.

Charlie: Bay, maybe that isn't such a bad thing.

Bailey: No. Charlie, I know I screwed up. I feel so terrible for what I did. But I know that, that Sarah loves me. She still loves me.

Charlie: (frowns) I'm sorry, Bay.

Bailey: (sighs) It's not your fault, Charlie.

Charlie: Bay, remember when Kirsten rejected me at our wedding and you came to me and you said "I'm on your side."

Bailey: Yeah.

Charlie: Well, I'm here to return the favor, Bay. I'm on your side. (pats Bailey on the back)

Bailey: Thanks. (Bailey buries his face into his hand and cries as Charlie puts a brotherly arm around him and hugs him)
