Favorite Scenes   February 17, 1993 Nora: First we’re going to start with the French fries, then we’re going to potato skins- just don’t get sour cream on my laptop. Bo. Bo: My appetite went south as soon as Marty Saybrook became a suspect. N: A possible suspect. Oh Bo, we can’t go through the computer printouts on two empty stomachs. Besides, I got a bottle of wine upstairs that brings out the best in grease and ketchup. B: What is it, Chateau T-Bird 1993? N: You get to pull the cork. B: A cork! Well, I’m impressed. It’s not a twist-off? N: Do I look like a twist- off kind of girl? I paid $3.99 for that bottle. (head toward elevator- get stuck when Marty pulls alarm, she gets claustrophobic, elevator jolts, she falls into his arms and they almost kiss- doors open)   February 22, 1993 Bo and Nora discuss Marty; Bo says that he will never forget Nora saving him from committing suicide. She is touched.   February 24, 1993 (They have just finished questioning Jo Ann about Marty) N: How about a nice cup of herbal tea? B: I hate that stuff. It’s like sucking on grass stains. N: (laughs) Well then why is you cupboard full of boxes of it? Oh. B: Yeah, Sarah always liked the healthy stuff- you know, rosehips, ginseng, camomile. N: I’ll dump it out. B: No, that’s all right. I kinda like the smell of it. N: You got it. (talk about finding killer) N: (trying to lighten mood) I know. You can show me your costume. B: What costume? N: The one that is in this box clearly marked costumes-are-us. B: Oh, yeah, yeah. I totally forgot about it- I’m supposed to go to a Mardi Gras ball at Renee’s hotel tomorrow night, but I don’t feel like I’m up to it. N: Well, can I see the costume that you almost wore? B: Be my guest. (she opens box- pulls out dress) N: Why Bo Buchanan- I didn’t know this side of you existed! (Bo is adjusting his costume, while Nora tries on the dress) B: This had better not be a set up! N: What? B: You better come out of there wearing a saloon girl outfit, after you talked me into putting on this ridiculous thing. N: You look rip-roaring. B: Hey, so do you. That’s good, though, isn’t it? N: On you, yes! But this? What was it doing in the box, anyway? You didn’t order it, did you? B: What, no! How weird do you think I am? N: Well then, how did it get in the box? B: I don’t know. Maybe they’re trying to send us a message or something. N: Like what? B: Well, like a gambler out there in the west might be a little lonely without a saloon girl. N: I am hardly saloon girl material- I’m going to go change. B: No, no, no- not so quick! I haven’t really experienced the full effect of your outfit yet. N: What do you mean, the full effect? This is the full effect. B: No, I’m sorry, maam. There is a zipper in the back that hasn’t been zipped all the way up. If you’d allow me. (pulls her toward him- zips it behind her- sexual tension) B: Come on, Nora. Do me a favor- just come with me to the Mardi Gras Ball. N: And spend all evening dressed up like a five-year old? (he nods) I’d love to. B: Okay. I’ll pick you up tomorrow night. N: Yippee-yi-o-kay-ee.   February 25, 1993 Bo and Nora are at the masquerade ball and are dancing when someone runs into them. They kiss. Sometime at the beginning of March Bo and Nora are at his house and the power goes out. They are sitting by the fireplace playing Nick and Nora and they kiss. He tells her that he isn’t ready for a relationship yet and she agrees. March 15, 1993 Nora finds Bo at Sarah’s grave after they learn that Marty had an alibi. They kiss, but then he pushes her away. Later, he has a dream about both Sarah and Nora- he is confused. April 1, 1993 Bo apologizes to Nora about attacking Suede. They agree to have dinner together. Bo is jealous when he sees Nora dancing with Hank. He tells Nora this. She says he is not a friend if he is jealous. Bo agrees and kisses her. April 8, 1993 N: (approaching Serenity Springs) Hello? Anybody? Bo? B: Nobody here but us out of shape chickens, Nora. I’ll be right with you. N: I got a message on my machine, it was kind of garbled, but I thought you said we were having our big date here at the spa. B: That’s right. N: And that I should be in sweats? B: You got it, lady. N: Where is everybody? B: I took the whole place- rented it from Max and Luna. I thought we would have what I would call a healthy night out, just the two of us. Thought we’d start off with a little exercise, then the hot tub, then a health food picnic under the stars. N: Sounds like a baby-boomer’s version of paradise. This picnic, what is it, chili dogs and cheese fries? B: No, no, no. That’s the old us. I thought the best way to put the past behind us was to clean up our bodies, our mind. N: Well, that’s all very well and fine and great, but this health food picnic, it’s- one cheese fry, just one, a dog? B: No, no. After this exercise I have planned for us, you’re going to be able to eat a floortile and enjoy it. A little tamari sauce on the side, maybe, you’ll love it! I’m serious. You up for this? N: I’m never been more up for anything, Bo Buchanan. (They come jogging up) N: We’re here. We don’t have to do anymore because we’re here, right? B: Listen, cardiovascular fitness is only a couple of steps away. Come over here. Come on! N: No, it’s a couple of steps too many. I have to sit down here and catch my breath, if I ever can. You gotta tell me something, I need to know, in case I need to get more life insurances. Are all our dates going to be like this? Because if they are, I have to seriously reconsider this relationship. Bo, I’m serious. I am never going to make it until our first kiss date. When is that these days, date #2 or date #3? B: I don’t know. It’s all academic, because I’m already planning date #45, #46. N: Are you serious? You can see us together that far down the line? B: Yeah, I can see it. Can’t you? N: Yeah, I can- that’s why it’s so scary. B: Who, me? N: No. No, I’m scared of us. What is it, Bo, what is this- thing that draws us together, what is this? B: What does it matter? N: It matters. It matters a lot. This thing that we have, it just feels so right, but if it’s not, I mean, if we’ve fallen for all the wrong reason, we could end up hurting each other- a lot more than either one of us could handle right now. N: Look, it’s a shooting star. B: Did you make a wish? N: Yep. B: Tell me. N: OK. I wish your tofu on rye would turn into a chili dog and fries. B: No, come on! Tell me, tell me. N: (sighs) This is a serious wish. I wish that, no matter what happens between us, we never hurt each other. B: I don’t see that happening. What are you afraid of? N: When I first met you, you were in a very dark place in you life, you know, your wife had just died in a very tragic way, and you didn’t have much of a will to live. B: But I’m way beyond that now. And you helped. N: I know. I kinda get the feeling you think you owe me one. B: If I felt that way, I’d send you a big bunch of flowers and a card, and then that’d be it. I wouldn’t be thinking about you the first thing when I wake up in the morning, and I do. Nora Gannon, now there’s a reason to get out of bed, you old son of a gun. You’re gonna see Nora Gannon today. And it really does make me feel good. I don’t know why, maybe it is because you make me feel so good, and I hope it’s the same for you. You know, this kind of thing doesn’t happen every day, this kind of connection. And I don’t want to wreck it by moving too fast. I think we really got a shot at something here. (kiss) (They are lying on the ground, discuss going to the awards dinner, decide to go into the hot tub. Climb in and kiss.)   April 9, 1993 (Bo and Nora are in the hot tub) N: Oh. Is it possible that I could have been wrong all these years. I mean, is it really possible that the healthy life is good? Look at all those stars, feel that breeze. B: Not everything that’s good for you is bad. N: You mean like this crystal-clear bottle of Serenity Springs mineral water? B: No, I mean like you! (Kiss- Max and Luna walk up, Bo and Nora start laughing) (Bo and Nora walk up on Max and Luna in the hot tub; Nora suggests expanding the spa) B: Come on, lady cutthroat. Let’s leave these serene simple folks alone. (walk off arm in arm) (Bo and Nora walk in) N: Uh oh. I think we missed the awards. B: We missed everything. What’s Viki doing here in public with Sloan Carpenter? N: (walking over) Viki, hi. I’m sorry, we got held up. V: You didn’t miss much, except the agony of my defeat. (smiling) B: You didn’t win? Oh. Who did? V: Lyndsey Butler. N: Well, let’s hope the food was good! S: Best forgotten. B: (to Viki) Could I speak to you for just a minute? V: Sure. S: (to Nora) So, what held you up? N: Oh, exercise, then we grabbed a little something. (Bo talks to Viki) (Clint yells at Bo for talking to Viki and Sloan) N: I gather Clint was angry at you for talking to Viki? B: How’d you guess? N: Well, I’m a divorcée myself, don’t forget. I know the drill. The important thing is, don’t choose sides. That’s the most painful part. B: Yeah, I know. I’ve been through it myself. I’ve had any number of friends go through it, not to mention Asa and Renee. N: Just be careful, that’s all. B: Thanks. So, where now? N: It’s getting kind of late, and since I’m almost home... B: I was kinda hoping you’d invite me up for, like a nightcap. N: Well, I would, but Rachel’s out of town, and I don’t know whether I should risk it, being alone with you. B: You know what my vote is? N: What? B: You should go ahead and risk it all. I sure as hell would. N: All right. Bo, would you come up to my suite? Please? (Bo nods yes!)   April 12, 1993 B: Quite a night, huh. N: A stimulating, if not exhausting, workout at the spa, a stimulating romp in the hot tub, and a black tie banquet.(opens door) B: And my crazy, mixed-up family. N: I like your crazy, mixed-up family. I like crazy, mixed-up you. B: Well, the feeling is mutual. (kiss- walk in door kissing passionately; she pulls away) I thought we agreed that you liked me. N: I do. B: That’s my technique. N: Oh, no. It’s wonderful, your technique is wonderful, it’s me. B: No, no, no, there’s nothing wrong with your technique, counselor, I’d hate to jump to hasty judgments, why don’t we try it again? (moves to kiss her- she pulls away) Did I do something wrong? N: No, you’ve done nothing wrong, it’s- God, I wish this evening would never end! B: Who says it has to end? N: I do. I do. Oh God, I wish you could stay the night. B: I accept! N: No, you can’t. Not tonight, Bo. You really can’t. Call me old-fashioned, call me just plain scared. I just- I need to go a little slower. B: I see. Am I pressuring you, do you feel uncomfortable? N: No, no, if anything, you’ve been tender and gentle and kind, and I’m doing everything I can not to just throw you down on this oriental rug and just make mad, passionate love to you. B: I think that’d be great; I’m really partial to orientals. N: No, I have to be mature. Someone has to be mature and responsible. When the time comes for us to make love, we both have to be very sure. It can’t be casual with me, Bo. B: Do you think it’s casual with me? N: No, I’m just...I’m worried that you’re trying too hard, being too intense too soon, and it’s because of... B: No, I know. Go ahead and say it. It’s because of Sarah. Because there was such a long time where I was, what, trying to escape from the pain I felt about losing her. That time’s past, Nora. N: I don’t think it has yet, Bo. B: I know it has. Look, you say that you want to take time, that we’ll know when the time is right for us. Trust me, I am sure right now. I’m not trying to use you to help me forget about Sarah. I want you. For you. Just you. N: Oh, God, I want to believe that more than anything. B: Okay, then let me prove it to you. By saying goodnight. I mean, if I was really that desperate, could I take no for an answer? No, I can wait. But I’ll be back. And back and back and back- until you change that no into yes. B: I’ve given you fair warning, Gannon. N: Well, fair is fair. You keep coming back and I’ll keep reassessing the situation. B: Lawyer talk. Translation? N: You just pace yourself, and don’t give up on me, please. B: Now that’s the talk that I like. What I really like, though, is no talk at all. (kiss; Rachel storms in) Rachel: I have had it with men- especially Buchanan men. They should...(sees Bo and Nora) I’m sorry. N: Honey, what is wrong? B: Apparently, whatever it is, I’m partly to blame! R: No, I’m not badmouthing all the men in your family. B: Well thanks, Rachel! R: Just your nephew. B: Guess it’s time for mother-daughter talk. I’ll call you in the morning, Nora. N: Thank you for a wonderful evening, Bo. B: First of many to come.(kiss) Goodnight, Rachel. Goodnight, Nora. N: Goodnight, Bo. (he leaves) (N and R talk about R and Kevin and Lee Ann; Rachel asks her if she’s scared about Sarah’s memory; Bo talks to Kevin) B: Thanks to Nora, I can smile again, live again. N: (to R) Bo and I aren’t rushing into anything. We are two mature, responsible, intelligent adults. R: Who are crazy about each other- don’t deny it. Your wardrobe gives you away. N: What’s the matter with my wardrobe? R: Nothing lately. I mean, since you and Bo have become an item, you’ve almost dressed- sexy. N: You think you’re hilarious, don’t you? R: No, I think it’s wonderful. But take a cue from your daughter- go slow. Because these Buchanan men have a knack for breaking hearts.
