Favorite Scenes   October 27, 1993 S: I wish I had one clue why Emily Haynes has accused me of sexual harassment, just one. N: I think this hearing’s going to go very well. I’ve made a few phone calls, I’ve talked to a few people, and I’m going to get some answers out of this girl. And if we’re lucky, this whole think will be history by the end of the day. S: I certainly hope so. V: Well, I have complete faith in you, Nora. N: Thank you.   Nora has refuted all of Emily’s allegations, but Emily now says S touched her breast. Bo yelled at Alex for letting Asa drink.   B: I’m telling you, honey, my old man has really lost it this time. N: Why, what happened? B: Well, it seems that he forgot to tell anyone until now that he’s going into business with Alex Hesser. N: You got to be kidding me. B: No, no, they’re opening a night club together. N: Well, no wonder you’re so upset. B: Alex and Asa, I wonder what’s going to give out first, is it going to be his money or his heart? N: Well, there is some hope, if anyone can handle Alex, it’s Asa. B: I wouldn’t count on it. So, how’d the hearing go? N: Oh. You think Asa’s got problems, at least he’s got a grip on reality. This Emily Haynes chick is just like way out there in la-la land. B: What happened now? N: Oh, she’s expanded her story ever so slightly, she’s got Sloan Carpenter touching her breasts. B: Oh, come on, come on, you didn’t let her get away with that one! N: Oh, well, I tried to refute the charge, but the committee decided to adjourn pending further investigation. B: I thought this was supposed to be a fair hearing. N: I think the truth will come out eventually, what I am concerned about is...I hope that Sloan can hold up for the moment. N: I am going to have to do a little investigating on our dear friend Emily Haynes, you know, look into her family background, I want to check and see if there’s a history of instability or something, there has just, there’s got to be a motivation for all of this, you know, it’s...(she stops and sits down) B: What is it, honey? Hey? Nora, are you okay? N: Yeah, yeah, it’s just, the tension and everything of the hearing... B: Oh, well, I think you ought to forget about this investigating Emily and get some rest. N: No, I’m going to go into the office...(starts to stand back up) B: No, that can wait. N: No, it really can’t, I have to go... (she faints into Bo’s arms) B: Nora. Nora! Look, listen, listen, talk to me, can you hear me? Nora? Nora, honey? Come on, wake up. Wake up, say something. Nora! Nora, are you okay? Nora?   October 28, 1993 Bo comes into the hospital carrying Nora. Sheila: Bo, what happened? Take her right in here, come on, it’s okay. Right down here. B: Nora? Nora? S: What happened? Tell them this one is priority, okay? B: Nora? S: Bo, what happened? B: I don’t know. One minute, we’re talking, next minute, her head hurts, and all of sudden she just dropped like a fly. I’m scared, I’m really scared. S: Hang on, I’m going to light a fire under the doc, okay? B: Nora? Nora, can you hear me? Wake up! Nora. N: Bo? B: I’m right here. N: Bo? B: I’m right here. It’s okay. N: Hi. The whole room is vertical. B: You take it easy, all right? I’m right here, and I’m not going anywhere, okay? You relax, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Nothing at all. Nothing at all. N: Emergency cubicle at Llanview Hospital, right? B: No fooling this lady, she’s as sharp as a tack. N: Let’s get me out of here, then. B: No, no, no, no, you just relax, okay? N: How’d I get here? I don’t remember hearing any sirens. B: Well, I didn’t wait around for an ambulance, I brought you here myself. N: It was that much of an emergency? B: Honey, you scared the hell out of me when you hit the deck. N: I’m sorry, I feel like such a ninny. B: Why? N: Because I scared you, I didn’t want to scare you, especially when there’s nothing wrong with me. B: Look, as long as we have you here in these luxurious accommodations, we might as well find out what made the lights go out, isn’t that right, nurse? Nurse: Sounds like a good idea to me, now just keep still. N: Am I alive? Dr. Ben Price: Hello, I’m Dr. Price. Excuse me. What happened? N: Well, gee, doc, I thought you could tell me! ( no response) Um, I was talking to Bo, that’s Bo over there, and I got hit with a walloping headache, and the room started to swim, and the next thing I know, ta da! I’m here. BP: Have you ever experienced anything like this before? N: I’ve had migraines for the last five years or so. BP: Any blackouts? N: Um, a few starting last fall. BP: Is the headache pain usually localized? N: Actually, yeah, it usually starts somewhere behind my eyes and then just kind of explodes. BP: Sit up slowly. Feeling dizzy, any pain? N: Uh, no, not really. BP: Try not to be vague, yes or no? N: No. BP: Extend both arms, slowly touch your nose with each forefinger. (she does) (holding up fingers) How many? N: You know, I was never good at math. (no response) Three. BP: Okay, we’ll do a more comprehensive exam later, right now, I’d like to run a few tests. I’ll be back once they’re set up. N: Bo... B: Doctor, excuse me, what do you think the problem is? BP: Sir, if I knew for sure, I wouldn’t be running the tests. And the sooner I get them done, the sooner we’ll both know what the situation is. So if you’ll excuse me.   N: I wish you hadn’t called Rachel, she’s just going to worry. B: Wrong, Rachel’s going to make you feel better. N: Well, you’re right about that, I just don’t want her to see me here, you know. I just kept hoping that that new prescription for my contact lenses would make these headaches go away. What’s going on with me, Bo? B: I don’t know. Relax, though. Don’t worry, I mean, the doctor didn’t seem like it was a big deal. N: Well, people don’t get carried into the emergency room every day, you know. B: No. N: And another minute here is a minute away from Sloan Carpenter’s harassment case. B: Oh, come on, you’re going to have your nose right back in a legal pad faster than you can say habeas corpus. N: You really think so? B: Mmhm. N: Hospitals are so slow! B: You know, this could be something as simple as the wrong prescription for these new contact lenses. N: What did the doctor say, hmm? B: This guy gives a whole new meaning to the term tight-lipped. R: Excuse me, is this my mother? BP: Well,that depends on who your mother is. R: Nora Gannon. She is in there, isn’t she? BP: Yes. I’m sorry, I didn’t see much of a family resemblance. R: And just what do you mean by that? S: Oh, Rachel, hi. I see you’ve already met young Dr. Price. So what do you think of my baby brother? R: Mom? Mom, are you okay? N: Hi. Why don’t you ask the good Dr. Price? (sees Sheila walk in behind him) Dr. Price! S: Yes. Nora, meet my brother, our new and gifted neurology resident and star of the Price clan. He just moved here from Atlanta. BP: Are hospital personnel Llanview always this informal with their patients? S: Well, this is a special case, if you check this out, (the charts) Gannon, Nora’s Hank’s ex-wife, and Rachel’s his daughter. B: And I’m Bo Buchanan, and I’m in love with Hank’s ex-wife. S: You know, they should have been able to schedule those tests about now, so I’m going to check it out. B: So, what do you think of Llanview so far, doctor? BP: Well, I’ve spent most of my time here in the hospital; any evaluation would be premature. R: Lots of fun, aye? N: Bo, Rachel, will you do me a favor? Will you go get me something to eat? BP: Sorry, you can’t have anything before the tests. N: It’s for after the tests. So I have something to think about during the tests. Something with a lot of sugar. B: You got it. Come on, Rach. N: What’s red and white and scared all over? (nervous laughter) Doctor? Ben. The answer is me. And since we’re practically family, and I am the patient you’re scribbling so hard about down there, why don’t you tell me what it is that you’re writing? BP: I’ll be glad to explain it when we put things together. N: I deserve to know the truth. Please. What do you think is going on with me? BP: I really don’t know what the problem is yet. N: Well, what do you think the problem is? BP: Going over possibilities before I’ve got the results of the CAT scan would just get you worried. N: I’m already worried. BP: Ms. Gannon... N: I’m Nora! My name is Nora. BP: Nora, I don’t hide the facts from my patients. When I know what’s what, you’ll know. N: Promise? BP: I’ll be straight with you every step of the way. N: You’ve got your first chance. These possibilities that you mentioned, are they serious? B: (coming in)Success! N: Well, I’m having absolutely no success here. I tried my joke out on Dr. Price and let me tell you, not a twitch. The man’s sense of humor is DOA. BP: I’ll get an orderly to take you to radiology. R: It is hard to believe that that guy is Sheila’s brother. N: Well, let’s not talk personalities, let’s talk calories. (reaches for bag, Bo pulls it back) Oh! B: There you go. R: Wait, he said after the tests. N: Oh, such a stickler for details! Get out! O: Excuse me, they’re ready for you downstairs. N: Well, I’m ready for them. Tally ho, Joe. We’re hooked. O: Here we go. B: Only your mother can make a trip to get a CAT scan seem like a trip to the amusement park. R: Yeah, she’s really great. B: Yeah, she is. Oh, it’s going to be okay, Rachel. It’s probably something simple and we’re going to be laughing about it on the way home. (hugs her) It’s going to be just fine. (he sighs)   N: Hiya guys, miss me? Thank you. O: You’re welcome. N: I think I can take it from here, Charles. O: Okay. N: Thanks. Well, talk about your whirlwind tour through the hospital, I think I’ve seen every examination room in the place. R: Yeah, what did they do? N: They took things! They took my blood, they took my pictures, and they took my temperature. B: Yeah, but they left the best part. (kiss) N: What is CAT, what’s the word CAT in CAT scan stand for? I mean, what is it, costly and time consuming? (all laugh) R: Did they say how long it would take to get the results back? N: Oh, I think sometime this century was about the estimation that they gave me. Honey, do you have a class to go to? R: No, it’s okay. N: No, it’s not okay, I’m paying for that, too. No, look, you have to go, go. Don’t you wait around here for these test results or you’re going to end up waiting out the whole semester, go. R: I don’t want to miss anything. B: Rachel, I’m going to call you and tell you whatever happens, okay, promise. R: Well, we do have an exam today. N: Then get out of here! R: Okay, okay. Good luck. N: I’d like to use your good luck. R: Sheila, I forgot to tell my mother that I would be at Kevin’s after class, so if they try and call me... S: Honey, don’t worry, I’ll let them know where you are. R: Thank you. S: You’re welcome. R: Is that the results of my mother’s CAT scan? BP: Uh, no. S: What’s this? BP: The results of Nora Gannon’s CAT scan. S: Why did you lie to Rachel? BP: Because I think we need to talk about this before I say anything to anybody. N: When are we going to get those test results, if I have to sit here for one more minute, I’m going to scream. B: (takes out bag) Remember these? N: Ooh! Food! Gimmie! B: Please, say please. N: Please gimmie. (he does) Oh! Echo bars! B: Soul food for the chocoholic. N: I’m in heaven! Well, not really. But, oh, the simple pleasures! Who would have thought I was this hungry? Mmm. B: Anybody with your appetite can’t really be that sick. (kiss)   BP: Is she a good friend of yours? S: We’re getting closer all the time. BP: Then do you want to tell her, or should I?   Marty is talking to Emily about the hearing. M: Yeah, it must have been awful. I mean, it’s no fun being in the hot seat when Nora Gannon cranks up the heat. Did she kind of cock her head to the side and smile before she zapped you with a really nasty question? E: Yeah. M: Boy, I remember that.   Cassie is making a toast. C: And to Sloan, you are going to come through this stronger and better than ever, the next president of Llanview U, with the support of this reunited family, good friends, and one heck of a lawyer in Nora Gannon.   October 29, 1993 Viki has arrived at the hospital. V: Sheila, good. S: Viki, Ben Price, Dr. Benjamin Price. Viki Buchanan. This is my brother. V: Well, how very nice to meet you! BP: Same here. V: Forgive me. Listen, I just stopped by Bo and Nora’s house, and their next door neighbor told me that they brought her here? S: Yes, she’s here right now. Bo is inside with her. V: Is she all right? What happened to her? S: Well, we’ve been running some tests. Apparently, Nora collapsed, and luckily, Bo was with her. V: What kind of tests? Do they know anything? BP: I was just on my way in to discuss the results with her now. If you’ll excuse me. V: Sure. Is he her doctor? S: Yes. N: If you do not hand over the last of that candy bar, you can kiss all five of your fingers goodbye. B: Couldn’t you just kiss them instead? (they kiss) BP: Excuse me. N: Dr. Price! BP: If you wouldn’t mind stepping outside, Mr. Buchanan, there’s something I need to check with Ms. Gannon. B: Like what? What’s wrong with her? Is it something serious? N: Bo... B: No, no, no, no, if he has some answers, I want to hear them. I mean, nobody has anything to hide in here, do they, doctor? N: Viki! Hi! V: Hi yourself! It’s such a relief to see you! N: Well, you just tell Sloan that as far as I’m concerned, we’ve won this case already, and that is a promise. Now, if you wouldn’t mind keeping this madman occupied... B: Look, I don’t see why I have to hang around out here. N: Because there are certain things that a lady can only discuss with her physician. (kiss) Isn’t that right, Sheila? Oh, by the way, nice genes. I mean in the family, you also have a nice skirt on too. B: Would you just take her out of here? N: It serves you right for holding out on that last candy bar. (kiss) After you, doctor. I shall throw myself on the not too tender mercies of the medical profession. V: Bo, she is going to be okay. B: No, you know, of course she will. S: How about you? B: What? Oh, I’m great, I’m great. I just don’t, what is your brother doing in there, Sheila? Didn’t he already take all of the tests that he needed to take? BP: I thought it would be best if we discussed these test results in private. N: Uh oh. BP: Excuse me? N: (laughs) Well, I get the feeling from what you’re saying, and the way that you’re saying what you’re saying that the test results from my CAT scan weren’t exactly wonderful. BP: I’m sorry, I just feel the best way to deal with this kind of news is just straight on. Your results aren’t good, Ms. Gannon. B: So, what are you going to do, Viki? Are you going to sue for divorce? Because if you’re waiting for Clint’s feelings to change, you’re going to be waiting for a long, long time. Even if you marry another man, that’s not going to change it. V: You sound so sure of that. B: I just learned the same thing about myself. Nothing could ever change the way I feel about Nora. Now, when she thought she caused that accident, we went right to the middle of the fire. Nothing could possibly have gotten any worse than that, but we made it. Together. And I can’t even imagine what my life would be like without Nora in it. N: So, the problems I’ve been having with my eyes... BP: The headaches, the blackouts, they’re all symptoms. N: And this, um... BP: Tumor. N: Yeah. BP: It’s very small. N: Small. Um, it isn’t attached to anything, is it? BP: It’s in the vicinity of the optic nerve. I could show you pictures where we... N: Is it malignant? BP: We don’t believe so. But it is in a very delicate position. I know it’s hard to hear this, and it’s a lot to take in. The location of the neoplasm... N: The what? BP: The tumor, even if it’s benign, as we suspect. Where it is limits our options. N: Well, you’re saying you have to operate, is that what you’re saying? BP: The procedure carries a very high degree of risk. N: Well, you better tell me about the risks. V: Did you two set a wedding date yet? B: Well, we’re both in favor of a long engagement, twenty, thirty years. Maybe five or ten years of pre-honeymoon... V: Really! B: Yeah, and then I think we might be ready to settle down. V: Oh gosh, it’s so good to see you happy after all you’ve been through. BP: It’s a very delicate operation. There’s a chance you could...might lose all visual capability. N: Blind. BP: Worst case scenario, it would be instantaneous. N: And permanent? (no answer) And if I decided not to have the operation, you know, just let it go? BP: It continues to grow over the course of time. And it might take time. N: I see. I mean, I don’t see. Um, so if I have the operation, I could go blind instantly? BP: That’s correct. N: I need time to think, you know. BP: There’s one other thing you should consider. If you decide not to go ahead, and the tumor does end up being malignant, you’ll die, Ms. Gannon. N: I think I’m going to need a day or two to think this over, you know? If the tumor is benign, I can risk my sight and have it operated on, or I can leave it and eventually go blind. On the other hand, if it’s malignant, and I don’t operate on it...that’s not an option I really had thought about, you know? I kinda, I kinda want to stick around. B: What is Price telling her in there? V: Bo! B: No, it’s eight o’clock, if I don’t get some food in her, she’s going to have another one of those migraines, not to mention the fact, I’m starving. Hey, red, let’s shake a leg, huh? What happened? Nora, what did he tell you?
