EPISODE 4, SCENE
7 Luanne heard of Shauna's arrival at a vulnerable moment. She and Richard were making out in his bedroom. Her dress was on the floor. Their hands were all over each other. Just then Keith Carradine stuck his head in the door and winked. "Hey, Rich, your ex is downstairs and she brought her own photographer." "Shit!" was Richard's response, as he disengaged from Luanne and quickly buttoned up his pants. Luanne, flushed and upset, stared daggers at him. "I didn't know she was coming, Lu!" Richard pleaded. He kissed her and hurried off. On the verge of tears, Luanne retreated into the bathroom to put herself back together. Damn! Her makeup was ruined and so was her New Year's Eve, and it didn't look like she could do anything about it. Richard found Shauna still in the foyer, surrounded by friends. Lots of touching and cheek kissing. "Happy New Year, honey", Shauna murmured. Richard met her kiss. "It's good to see you again, Shauna," he said, with some measure of sincerity. "You too", she said with equal measure. She kissed Richard and as the shutterbugs snapped away she created the perfect photo op by jumping into his arms. They wouldn't look like sworn love enemies, not tonight, if she could help it.
