Time: December 1989
Setting: Outside the Orient Express
Characters: Cruz and Eden
Premise: In an It's A Wonderful Life take-off, Cruz was shown what life would be like without him. He met up with Eden at the Orient Express and danced with her. She was sure she had seen him before and rushed outside, upset, and he followed her.

Cruz: Are you all right?

Eden: No. Why is it snowing out here?

Cruz: Because it's a special night.

Eden: Who are you?

Cruz: Who do you think I am?

Eden: I don't know. Someone in a dream.

Cruz: Tell me the dream.

Eden: A dream's a dream. Life isn't so perfect.

Cruz: Life is what you make it.

Eden: I haven't made too much of mine.

Cruz: Why not?

Eden: You don't have to feel sorry for me.

Cruz: (Smiles) I don't.

Eden: I just realized very early on that your fantasies just don't come true, and that perfect guy isn't going to walk into your life and make your life wonderful. So forget about love and just have a little fun.

Cruz: Are you having fun?

Eden: I can tell you take life too seriously.

Cruz: Is that such a bad thing?

Eden: I used to think so.

Cruz: Tell me why you don't believe in love.

Eden: I believe in it for some people.

Cruz: Like who?

Eden: I don't know. You.

Cruz: Really, so you think maybe there's somebody out there for me?

Eden: Yeah, I think somebody is probably out there waiting to love you with her whole heart. (Starts to cry.)

Cruz: Why are you crying?

Eden: I don't know.

Cruz: Oh my God. I'd rather die than hurt you, you know that?

Eden: (Confused) What?

Cruz: I'd rather die. I think I can change it though. I think I can make it okay. If I can only find my way back.

Eden: What are you talking about?

Cruz: You don't know it, but you and I, we love each other. And more than you can imagine.

Eden: How can that be?

Cruz: How can it not be? (Kisses her tenderly.)

Eden: (Pulls away from him) God. This is a dream. Nothing real ever felt like that. (Runs off.)
