Favorite Scenes   April 30, 1993   Nora is in her office behind a pile of books. N: (a knock) Enter at you own risk. (Bo comes in- she smiles) Hiya handsome! B: Hi. N: I haven’t see you since our picnic lunch, what, a whole three hours ago. B: Well, it’s four, but who’s counting. (kiss) N: Don’t tell me it’s time for a picnic supper? Tell you what, why don’t we just bag the picnic and go back to my place. (he holding box) Bo. This isn’t a gourmet supper, is it? B: No. No, this just came in the mail. (he received a package from Sarah- hasn’t been able to open it yet.)   They are at the Palace. B: Sarah must have sent this from Bali just before she took off for home...It arrives now, after all these months. N: Don’t open it. Pretend it got lost in the mail. B: No, I have to open it. I want to. N: Okay. Why’d you bring it here? B: I want to be honest with you about every part of my life, even the part that hurts. I can’t even imagine a future without you in it. I mean, let’s face it, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even have a future right now. N: Oh, you give me too much credit- you would have pulled yourself together just fine. B: Well, maybe, maybe not, but you were there. And you still are. And I hope you always will be. So I wanted you to know how I feel about Sarah now. I want you to see it, to be a part of it. N: (she is touched) I want to be a part of you, Bo Buchanan, all of you. Go ahead, open it. N: Bo, are you okay? B: (holding a statue) Yeah. You know, I can just picture Sarah buying this for me, wrapping this up and sending it home. And you know something, it’s a good memory. It doesn’t hurt. N: It’s as if she watching over you, guarding you with her little sword. B: Don’t forget the wings- she set me free. So what about you- you free for the rest of the evening? N: I’m sorry, I have another appointment back at my office. (gets up to leave) B: (dejected) Oh. N: With you, Mr. Buchanan. (he leaves statue on the table and they leave)   They are lying on her couch. B: I love a woman who can keep an appointment. N: It’s just a matter of organization, that’s all. Priorities. Not overextending yourself. B: God, speak for yourself. I’m so overextended right now, I’m gonna have to go to Serenity Springs and like, do some aerobics or weight-training or something. N: Your body is in just great shape, as far as I can tell. B: You’re not doing too bad yourself. (kiss) (talk about weekend plans and Max and Bo and oil) No has a way of turning into yes when it comes from a woman in love. N: And when did you become such an expert on women in love? B: I’m working on it. N: (laughs) Oh, no you don’t. No you don’t. This woman has got to get back to her desk. Because all sex and no work, I mean, where will I end up, Mr. Expert? B: Back on the couch. N: Yeah, probably. (fade to black)   Nora is asleep at her desk and has a nightmare about headlights, horns, stuffed dalmations, lips saying have a nice day, she is out on a ledge in her nightgown calling for Bo; wakes up Bo. B: Nora! It’s okay, it’s okay- wake up, you were just dreaming, that’s all. What is it? What were you dreaming about? N: Oh, God. (she is obviously shaken)   May 3, 1993 N: Oh, Bo. B: What were you dreaming about? N: It wasn’t real. Oh, thank God it wasn’t real. N: You must think I’m out of my mind, or that I’m losing it. B: No, no. I think you had a nightmare, that’s all. Want to talk about it? N: Oh, no, no. Like you said, it was just a bad dream. Gosh, it’s late. We should probably get our clothes on and get out of here. B: No, no. This is not just any dream, okay. You were shaking. Sit down. Just sit down. N: You want to hear my stupid dream? B: Talk to me. N: You want to hear the whole Caesar salad? (he nods) There were these blinding car headlights, and there was this car horn that was blasting, and screeching tires. B: So this is about a car? N: Oh, there’s more- you were there, too. Yes. I was looking out a window for you. I was looking down and calling for you. You’d jumped. And then there were the dogs! There were these two, plastic headed, kind of bobbing, dogs, that kind of...Well, I don’t know what you may think of this, Dr. Freud, other than I need a padded room. B: (with accent) Well, why don’t you lie down on the couch, Ms. Gannon. We will see. N: I don’t know why those shook me up so much. (Bo says we were almost in an accident- she has seen him on a ledge - he doesn’t know about the dogs. Bo says he’s sorry for the pressure he caused her by looking for killer, Nora says he’s not responsible for her nightmares) B: Nora, I will never let anything or anybody hurt you. (kiss- hug) Nora thinks they should go home, Bo thinks that they should go together. N: You are so greedy, Mr. Buchanan. B: Yes, I am. That’s my middle name- Bo “Greedy” Buchanan. N: Is that a family name? B: Yes. You’ve got that right. (he wants to leave- Rachel’s at her place, his house is being renovated, he suggests the Palace) N: No common sense. B: Oh, so you have a solution? N: Don’t I always have a solution?   Bo is trying to move a futon into her office- she is laughing- has it in case she gets tired- she insults his work) B: You know, it takes talent and commitment to dabble in as many businesses as I have- and do! N: Okay! (she laughs and refuses to help) See, lawyers set up the deal. You execute the deal. B: Oh yeah? (pulls her off the desk and under him) You come over here and just execute this! (kiss) What’s your fee, counselor? (she agrees to do pro bono work- kiss- fade to black)   May 4, 1993 N: (talking to Luna) Well, not all Buchanans are rotten, you know. B: (enters) I’ll take that as a compliment, I think. N: Hi! B: Hi. (hold hands) Luna: Well, well,well. Looks like your friendship is just blooming away. You all got something you want to tell me? N: (shrugs) No. L: (on show) Lots of times, folks, the best of lovers started out the best of friends. So take it from Linda Rondstat- true love takes time. B: These friends you’re talking about wouldn’t be anyone we know, now, would we? L: Did I embarrass you two? I’m so tickled pink that you all are getting a whole lot closer. B: So am I. I never thought I’d be lucky enough to feel like this again. B: (at Wanda’s) If you can sneak out again tonight, I’d love to give you that blast from the past feeling again -if you want me to. N: I’d love you to. B: Maybe I can even leave you with some happy dreams this time and not scary ones. N: Are you still thinking about that nightmare I had last night? I don’t even remember what it was about anymore. Even if I did, it wasn’t your fault. After you calmed me down and i fell asleep in you arms, I was so unbelievably happy. B: That’s good- so was I. (laugh)(kiss)(Bo talks to Powell and Zach- Nora says seemed decent- not like what Rachel said.   May 6, 1993 Nora is under her desk. N: It couldn’t have gone far. If you were a bracelet, where would you be? (Bo comes in) B: Hi. N: (from underneath) Hi! B: Are you ready to go? N: Not quite. B: Yeah, I know how you feel. I’m not sure I am either, dressed like this. (she gets up) N: Wow! B: Wow is right. N: Well, you said this was a blast from the past date, right? B: Yeah, well you sure look like every girl in high school that I ever dreamed of taking out. N: You’re a dead ringer for every guy in high school that I was too shy to say yes to. B: (takes her hand and leads her to window) Would you say yes to a guy who’s driving this? N: Luna’s Mustang! B: Yeah! N: Oh, no! B: And how would you feel about riding in that to the Pickwick Drive-In to see a John Wayne flick? N: You’re kidding me! A drive-in? I didn’t even know there was one here! B: It’s the last one in the county! (laughing) So what do you say? N: I say (bends over and picks up bracelet) I say- let’s have a blast, man! (laughs- kiss)   Bo is getting popcorn- tries to get back to car. B: This ought to do it. N: What are you doing with all that junk food? I thought we were having a healthy new start! B: Hey, this is all part of the date. You didn’t worry about what you ate in high school, did you? N: But we don’t need all this stuff! B: We don’t need any of it. N: But we want it. For effect. Bo. Don’t look now, but the kids in the car next to us- they’re staring. B: Oh, they’re just jealous, that’s all. (he waves) N: They think we’ve been sitting here since 1968! B: (yelling out) Do you think Nixon will beat Humphrey? They don’t even know who we’re talking about. N: I don’t even know who you’re talking about. Sort of. Oh, this is great! I haven’t been to a drive- in since I was in college. Ronald Schimpf. Ronald Schimpf- I tried to make an escape during the coming attractions. B: We don’t want that to happen. (leans over, locks door, puts his arm around her) N: This is the very reason why I tried to make the escape during the coming attractions- you behave yourself. B: Hey, I’m on my best behavior. (leans over to kiss her- she stuffs popcorn in his mouth) Thank you. N: Ooh, movie’s starting- turn that thing up. B: There’s something wrong with the knob- it’s busted. (laughs) N: You gotta be kidding me! B: No. What is it about us and old movies, huh? (kiss) Bo is fiddling with the sound. N: How’s the sound coming? B: Oh, it’s not coming. This is ridiculous- I’m going to go talk to the manager. N: No, no, Bo, wait a minute. We didn’t have a manager at your house the night the fuses blew and we couldn’t watch Bogey and Bacall. B: Yeah. That’s right. We overcame the technical difficulties that night, right? N: So, we should overcome the technical difficulties tonight. B: All right. So, the duke is probably saying something like, I like smart women. But I like smart, good- looking women even more. N: And do they like you back? B: Well, you’re a smart, good-looking woman- why don’t you tell me? N: I bet you live alone with your horse. B: Yeah, but I’d love to build a little cabin for you, out there at the bend of the river where those cottonwoods grow. N: You’re awfully sure of yourself, aren’t you, marshal. B: Well, not really, no, but it’s a long way back to Cheyenne. N: Could be an interesting ride. B: Could be very interesting. Seeing as how the last stage coach left while we were sitting here, shooting the breeze. N: Well, you got a horse, don’t you? I don’t mind riding behind. B: Well then, hop aboard. (kiss) And this is usually where they would ride off into the sunset- or hop in the back seat, whichever the case may be. N: (shocked) Bo Buchanan. You never took girls in the back seat of your car, did you? B: Only when I could talk them into it. N: Well, that’s a lot of talking, because it’s a long way to the back seat! (Bo gets a cramp in his leg and climbs into the back seat. She leans over to help and massages his leg) How long does this cramp usually last? B: Well, usually until a girl falls for that corny line. Welcome to the back seat, little lady. (she shocked again- kisses him- her foot hits the speaker and it works)   Nora gets up. N: The speaker shut off again. B: It’s not off- it’s over. The movie- it’s over. Everybody’s gone, look around. N: Do you think they locked us in? B: I hope so. N: Oh, no! (kiss) No- if they locked us in, then I can’t drive home! B: What? N: You can't take me out in a Mustang like this and not let me drive it! Please? (kiss) B: Go for it. N: Thank you- yes! (get up into front seat) Now, which way do we go? B: Just go straight out the theater, hang a right out on Airport Road. N: Airport Road- is that where we are? (serious) B: Yeah. The Llantano Bridge is just down the road from where we turn into the drive-in. N: Oh. Maybe we should find someplace else. B: No. No, I wanted to come here. This is the last drive in in the county, remember? N: I can’t believe how calm you are- when you’re so close to where... B: Where Sarah was killed. Nora, tonight really proved something to me- something very important. Just showed me how much closer I’ve gotten to accepting Sarah’s death. N: And how close is that? B: Real close. Thanks to you. You know, I used to drive down this road and I’d have to turn the car around and go back another way. But tonight, driving along with you sitting beside me, I just barely felt this little twinge. N: I’m so proud of you.   May 10, 1993   Rachel is talking with Nora and Bo about Kevin. B: Believe me, Buchanan men can be very, very persistent. N: Oh, I can attest to that. Rachel has left. Bo and Nora are dancing. N: I’ve got it. B: You sure do. N: No, I got the place for us to go for our much-postponed, much-anticipated romantic getaway weekend. To the Hilltop Lounge. Your host with the most in the Llantano Mtns. Join us for a fabulous forties weekend; jitterbug contest, grand prize a 54 inch home theater system. B: Your host with the most? N: Oh, come on, it’d be fun! And we could certainly use this- the home theater system-to view our fabulous classic movie collection. B: There’s only one problem here- we just might lose. N: Lose? Us? My dear, we put the jitter in jitterbug. B: Yeah, we still got it. Even though your daughter called us, what (together) fossils from the Middle Ages. Yeah. (puts jitterbug music on- dance jitterbug) N: (dancing) It’s settled then. We drive up into the mountains and take a step back in time. B: The 1940’s. Padded shoulders. Brown fedoras. Two-tone shoes. N: What do the men wear? B: That’s very funny. I should have been in the 1940’s. Tough men with a big heart. (talk about movie stars) N: I thought this was going to be a romantic getaway. B: Trust me, doll, it is. (kiss)   May 13, 1993   Rachel and Nora are having lunch. R calls Nora a competition addict. They talk about K. R: Let’s talk about your love life. N: Ok. How about those fillies? (starts babbling) R: No, no. I want to hear what’s going on with Bo. N: Well, I mean, you know, things are going... R: Tell me! N: They’re going great, okay? There, you beat it out of me. He’s a wonderful man, I’m deliriously happy, and I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this happiness, and, there, see? Now, we’ve discussed it, and now we should move on to a topic that’s more appropriate to your mood, like maybe the deforestation of the Northwest, or maybe the demise of the spotted owl... R: Come on, just tell me what’s happening with Bo. N: I mean, if you want to hear about the standard dates between, what did you call us, fossils from the Middle Ages? (R laughs) Well, we’re rather scandalous in what we do, Rachel, you see. R: Do I want to hear about this? N: Well, let me see, miniature golf, drive-in movies, and tomorrow night we’re going to have a movie marathon of old movies. R: Now what are you going to do when the motor of Bo’s VCR burns out? N: I’m sure we’ll find something primodial. (R laughs) R: So, is this serious? I mean, real serious? Like, oh, this is so, so, so serious? (N laughs) Tell me- are you like, in love with Bo? N: I’m like- maybe. He does a wonderful Humphrey Bogart! R: Bo knows Bogey? N: He does the worst impression I’ve even seen- it’s wonderful, dreadful, glorious. It’s just too soon to tell, that’s all. R:What, about his Bogart? N: It’s just- I have no idea how he feels about me. R: None at all? N: I’m not sure he feels the same about me that I do about him. R: So how is your Bacall? N: Dreadful. R: Well, you see, you’re perfect for one another! And I like Bo. N: You do? R: I think he’s a good guy. N: Yeah. R: And I don’t think he’ll disappoint you, like... N: Like Dad, like your dad? R: No, like Kevin. I wish that Kevin could be more like Bo, and less like his fraternity friends.   May 14, 1993 B: (entering his house) Mission accomplished! N: (sitting in his living room) You got the caramel covered popcorn? B: Yep. N: Oh, fabulous! B: Are we ready for the first annual Nora and Bo watch em till we drop movie marathon? N: Let’s have a run-through check. B: Ok, we got junk food. N: Check. B: TV remote. N: Check. B: The best of Bogey and Bacall, of Tracy and Hepburn. N: We got em, kid. B: No, you’re forgetting one thing. N: What? (he kisses her) B: That’s a little preview of what happens after we drop. N: Well, in that case. (drops movies, kisses him and ends up on top of him; enter Asa) A: Oh, Bo, it’s a good thing I found you! B: What, what are you?? A: We’ve got a family crisis on our hands, son, and I’m not going to leave here until we come up with a solution. A: Maybe we should have this family conversation in private. B: No, there’s nothing that Nora can’t hear. N: Don’t mind me- I think I forgot our drinks in the kitchen. A: Oh, I’ll take a bourbon. N: Bar’s right there.(leaves) A: Women! B: Pa, listen to me, look. I don’t want to have this conversation right now, you understand? I’m busy. A: Hey, hey, hey - forget the word busy. I’m going to run a check on this Angela Holliday person. In the meantime, your job is to keep Cord away from her. B: No, no, sorry- no, you leave me out of all your schemes, all right? A: Has this Gannon woman turned your brain into mush? We need to take some action! B: Look, Cord has had a tough time- what he needs right now is support. He doesn’t need a bunch of meddling relatives interfering with his personal life. Now, this evangelist, if she’s helping him, I say more power to her! A: Am I the only sane man left in Llanview? B: If you’re so worried about Cord, then why don’t you go talk to his father? Talk to Clint. A: I talked to Clint- he told me to leave Cord alone. B: Take his advice, Pa! A: Yeah, I’m going to listen to him. He hasn’t been able to think straight since Viki dumped him! B: Take my advice, all right. Forget this whole thing- mind your own business. B: Look, we can talk and talk and talk about this all day long- I’ve got plans right now. A: Why are you always so damn stubborn? B: Like father, like son. A: If you’re so much like me, you’d see that Cord has gone off the deep end. But no- you’re too busy sitting around your house, watching movies, stuffing your face with junk food. B: Knock it off, all right? We both know the real reason that you’re so interested in Cord’s life right now is because you can’t reel Renee back into your life, you can’t get your hands on Max Holden’s oil. You’ve got so much pent up energy right now, you don’t even know what to do with it! (phone rings) A: And you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about! B: The truth hurts, doesn’t it? You clean up your own mess before you start looking at others. N: (enters) Bo, you’ve got a phone call from this radio station. B: Oh, good. I’ll take it in my study where I can get some peace and quiet. A: Bo, what about Cord? B: Have a nice day, Pa. Don’t let the door hit you in the keyster on your way out. (leaves) N: Well, it was really nice to see you, and give my best to- whomever. A: You don’t like me much, do you, lady? N: Well, you try real hard to make me not like you. A: And I don’t care either way. N: Well, then good- there’s no need for us to make conversation . A: No, hold on. N: Oh, there’s more, okay. A: Well, now that we know where we stand, I figure we can respect each other’s position. Now, if you help me convince Bo to take some action in this Cord thing, I’ll leave you alone. N: What a deal! A: Look, I know you don’t know Cord very well, and you probably don’t care what happens to him, but this kook evangelist is messing him up, take my word. N: Mr. Buchanan, I wouldn’t take your word and bet a nickel on it. You see, I know Cord better than you think I do- I just hired him to do some investigative work for me, and you know what? He’s given me some excellent work so far- I have absolutely no problems with his work or his attitude. And as far as Angela Holliday is concerned, I’ve met her too. And you know what? We hit it off! So I’m with Bo on this one. The only one who seems to have a problem here- is you. A: If I wanted your opinion, I’d ask for it. N: They don’t make em like you anymore, do they, Mr. Buchanan? A: Too bad they don’t- that’s why this whole world is going to pot- and dragging my family down with it. A: Before Bo met you, he really cared about his family. N: He still does- he just doesn’t happen to agree with you all the time. And that just burns you up, doesn’t it, Mr. Buchanan? A: You know what really burns me up, lady? N: What? A: Someone like you waltzes into this town, moves in on Bo, and you think you’re something special. N: I haven’t moved in on anyone. A: I’m got your number, Ms. Gannon. You’re just one of a long line of no good women Buchanan men can do without. (Bo enters) So just pack up your fly by night law outfit and get out of my boy’s life. B: Stop, Pa, you just stop right there. You have no business talking like that. You’ve insulted the woman I love. (N- look of shock, happiness, represses and looks at Asa)
