[Scene Barry’s office, Barry is working on patient, Robbie, as Rachel enters.]
Rachel: Barry?
Barry: C’mon in.
Rachel: (hesitates) Are you sure?
Barry: Yeah! It’s fine, it’s fine. Robbie’s gonna be here for hours.
Robbie: Huh?!
Barry: So, how ya doin’?
Rachel: I’m- uh- I’m okay… You look great!
Barry: Yeah, well..
Bernice: (over intercom) Dr. Farber, Jason Greenstein’s gagging.
Barry: (answering the intercom) Be right there. (To Robbie and Rachel) Be back in a sec.
(As Barry exits Robbie stares at Rachel.)
Rachel: I dumped him.
Robbie: Okay.
Barry: Sorry about that. So. What have you been up to?
Rachel: Oh, not much. I-I got a job.
Barry: Oh, that’s great.
Rachel: Why are- why are you so tanned?
Barry: Oh, I, uh- I went to Aruba.
Rachel: Oh no. You went on our honeymoon alone?
Barry: No. I went with, uh.. Now, this may hurt.
Robbie: Me?!
Barry: No! (To Rachel) I went with Mindy.
Rachel: Mindy?! My maid of honour, Mindy?!
Barry: Yeah, well, uh, we’re kind of a thing now.
Rachel: Oh! Well, um.. (Grabs his forehand) You’ve got plugs!
Barry: Careful! They haven’t quite taken yet.
Rachel: And you’ve got lenses! But you hate sticking your finger in your eye!
Barry: Not for her. Listen, I really wanted to thank you.
Rachel: Okay..
Barry: See, about a month ago, I wanted to hurt you. More than I’ve ever wanted to hurt anyone in my life. And I’m an orthodontist.
Rachel: Wow.
Barry: You know, you were right? I mean, I thought we were happy. We weren’t happy. But with Mindy, now I’m happy. Spit.
Rachel: What?
Robbie: Me. (Spits.)
Rachel: Anyway, um, (Gets the ring out of her purse.) I guess this belongs to you. And thank you for giving it to me.
Barry: Well, thank you for giving it back.
(Barry and Rachel look at each other.)
