When they were walking and talking, Lor said the best part of the night
was the dance (with
Luke). Since it was still early when he asked her, I thought they would
have danced more than one
time. I was thinking maybe Lor/Lauren was supposed to say "...And it
might be the dancing,"
rather than "the dance" but they didn't want to have to reshoot the
scene. Without the original
script, I guess we'll never know.

I still don't know how he saw them kissing since they were at least an
arm's length apart when
he ran between them.

Don't think there was much sleeping going on. Having *** is another
story. Or, since they still
love each other -- maybe 'making love' is the more accurate phrase.
