Mac Acting Mysterious, Sean at GH
Mac runs into Bill and Russell at Jake's Bar. This is edited to the Mac and Sean segments, and is taken from a script, so the scene may vary somewhat from what actually aired.

Bill (grabing a pool stick): "Chalk up, chokester."  (Russell grabs his stick as Bill turns and spots Mac sitting at the bar.)  "Well, well, well... if it isn't the 'great pretender'."

Mac (raising his beer): "Cheers, Mate.  I hope there aren't any hard feelings?"

Bill: "None here."

Mac: "Good."  (He calls out to the bartender.)  "Bartender!   Put those two beers on my tab."

Bartender: "I'd be happy to."

Bill: "Thanks."

Bartender: "Only problem is, you don't have a 'tab'."

Mac: "Easily corrected.  Open one and I'll buy everybody in this joint a beer."

Bartender: "Okay, buddy, you got yourself a deal."  (He calls out to the crowd in the bar.)  "Beers for everybody... on the Limey!"

Mac (not pleased): "Blimey."

Bill: "What's the special Occassion?"

Mac: "Isn't any.  I'm just feeling generous and in the mood to celebrate."  (He lifts his beer.)  "Cheers!"

Scene fades out to Anna and Frisco on the docks.... Scene switches to Sean and the Hardys at GH.

Tom: "What brings you down here?"

Sean: "I came to drop off a 'pint of Irish'."

Audrey: "I don't understand.  Why would you be bringing whiskey to the hospital?"

Sean (lightly): "I'm here to donate to the blood drive."  (Audrey gets it, smiles.)  "How's it going?"

Steve: "Very well.  The whole community's been incredibly supportive.  Blood's not an easy commodity to come by these days."

Tom: "And even what we get has to be put through a lot more rigorous testing."

Sean: "Well, mine's a 100 fool proof.  Where do I go?"

Audrey: "I'll take you down there.  I want to see how my student nurses are doing."  (They start off.)  "Besides, they've probably never drawn 'single malt' blood before."

.... Scene switches back to Mac at Jake's bar, where he's joined by a former c0-crewman from the SS Tracy.

Rory: "Hey, Mac.  Long time no see."

Mac: "Not since the ship went down.  Buy you a beer?"

Rory: "Thanks."

Mac (motioning to the bartender): "How come you're still in town?  I thought you'd be working the next ship out."

Rory: "I figured the sinking earned me a little long overdue vacation.  On top of which, nothing's been shipping out because the hull's blocking access to the harbor.   As soon as that mess's cleaned up, I'm out of here and you'll probably never see my smiling face again."

Mac: "Good luck to you, mate."

Rory: "What about you?  Why are you still here?"

Mac: "A little unfinished family business to take care of."

Rory: "So you'll be staying for a while?"

Mac: "Probably not.  It should be over sooner or later..." (He smiles, sips his beer.)

Scene fades out, returns later to Jake's bar where Bill and Russell in the middle of another game as Finian enters and crosses over to Mac.

Mac: "You made it."

Finian: "Why'd you want to meet me here?  You know I'm not a drinking man.   And I try my best to avoid temptation."

Mac: "I'll bet you were a hell of a partier in the old days."

Finian: "Gold medal in debauchery.  Pity is, I was so drunk I can't remember anything I did."

Mac: "Then don't you think it's high you went to a party sober?"

Finian: "And just who might be throwing this little shindig?"

Mac: "I am.  At the Rehab Center."

Finian: "You're putting me on."

Mac: "Nope.  Couldn't be more serious.  I bloody well hate the way that goon Moonvis treats those people.  I think a little healthy run is just the medicine they need."

Finian: "So says Dr. Mischief."

Mac (smiles): "I could use your able asistance."

Finian: "Grand.  When exactly are we planning this?"

Mac: "Right after 'lights out' tonight."

Finian: "Short notice.  Hardly enough time to 'RSVP'."

Mac: "Why bother?  All the guests are already there."

Finian: "What exactly did you have in mind?"

Mac: "A little music that doesn't turn the brain to mush.  And some decent food.  I'm already sick of the hundred and one ways they serve up spam and I've only been there a couple of days."

Finian: "Ah.  I was wondering where I came in.  'Finian O'Toole's catering service' will be happy to oblige."

Mac: "Good.  I'll meet you at the back door of the center at ten forty-five."

Finian: "I'll be there with bells on and a feast fit for a king."  (He motions for Mac not to speak.)  "Don't ask.  Not that I'm afraid to tell you... I just haven't figured out yet where it's coming from myself."  (Finian exits as Bill and Russell move back to the bar.)

Bill (to Russell): "Two bears.  On me.  Even though you lost both games.   You know what your problem is?  You think too much."

Russell: "And you know what your problem is?  You don't think enough.  Banking around the eight ball is a damn sight easier than raising that machinery from the harbor."

Bill: "You're wrong.  You didn't think I'd make it around the eight ball either.  I knew I would the same way I know we can pull this off."

Russell: "So now suddenly it's 'we'"?

Bill: "I don't need you.  Just figured that you'd want to come along."

Mac (overhearing them): "I'd be careful if I were you, friend.  The Eckerts possess uncanny powers of seduction. You see... I know his sister."

Bill: "Powers of seduction?  Hey, if I find out you've been messing with my sister..."

Mac (to Bill): "Relax, chum, okay?  Relax?  All I meant was... they have an amazing talent for sucking you into doing things you know you shouldn't."
