Bernard, Manny and Fran stayed in the bookstore for a long time and felt that the atmosphere was dull.Manny suggested going to a friend's party to have fun, and Fran readily agreed.Bernard asked about the distance of the place, and Manny said it was only two minutes away, but Bernard refused to participate because it was too far away.So Bernard suggested drinking wine and admiring the moon in the garden behind the bookstore.
The three moved to the garden, but found that the environment was messy and the back was full of debris, which disappointed Manny and Fran.Still, they wanted to go to the party and decided to leave Bernard behind.However, Bernard felt bored if left alone and eventually joined them.
During the party, the three of them drank freely and returned to the bookstore drunk.Manny drunkenly confessed, telling Bernard that he liked a girl but was sad that he couldn't date her.Bernard didn't take it seriously and shared that he once had a girlfriend named Emma. The two almost got married, but Emma eventually passed away.Manny sympathizes with Bernard's plight, but Fran reveals a shocking secret: Emma is not actually dead, but lives across the street.Fran asks Manny to keep it a secret, but the next day, Manny accidentally reveals the truth to Bernard.
In disbelief, Bernard picked up Fran's phone and called Emma.On the phone, he heartbrokenly told Emma that he was dead.With the end of this conversation, the whole play also comes to an end.
