Favorite Scenes   The Hot Tub Scenes at Serenity Springs date unknown.   Nora and Bo are in a hot tub at Serenity Springs. Bo is reading a newspaper. Nora shuffles some papers looking for a replacement for her assistant Jill, who quit to be with her boyfriend in Philly. NORA: Oh, god. Overqualified. Completely underqualified. Doesn’t speak English…hello, this is America. Why don’t people speak English? It’s ridiculous! I give up. Bo isn’t paying attention. NORA: I GIVE UP. I hope my temper-tantrum isn’t interfering with your reading. BO: Read this review, honey. NORA: ‘When Tracy Mitchell warmed up the stage last night at Club Indigo, this critic was prepared to walk out the door.’ So? BO: Keep reading! NORA: Where was I? ‘But then I would have deprived myself of the knock-out voice of the evening’s unlikely savior, the founder of Blue Jay Music, Miss Jacara Principal. Hey, that’s my client. BO: Jacara is your client? NORA: Yeah. BO: R.J.’s already got her in trouble with the police? NORA: Rather than bore you with that old statement of attorney-client confidentiality, why don’t I just say R.J. had nothing to do with it. How about that? BO: That works for me. Bo takes the newspaper away from Nora and kisses her passionately. She’s so into that kiss that she lowers her right hand into the water, in which she is still holding the possible assistant’s applications. NORA: Oh, god. Oh, no. What the heck? A lot of it had dog slobber on it. (???) She kisses Bo when Max comes in. MAX: Sorry. We nearly leave my hot tubbers to their own devices... BO: That’s great, Max. Goodbye. MAX: But I’m I really have to interrupt. BO: Why? MAX: I need a lawyer.   Bo and Nora kiss. NORA: Two words, Max…office hours. Bo and Nora kiss. MAX: How do you mean? NORA: One word…appointment. MAX: Oh, come on, Nora. As long as I’ve known you, you’ve never been one to stand on ceremony. NORA: I’m sitting down in a hot tub, in a bathing suit. MAX: And have I mentioned just how terrific you look? She looks at Bo. NORA: You’ve got to be kidding me. What happened to your own lawyer? MAX: He’s in Mexico...probably with my accountant. Which is why I would really, really appreciate it if someone could look at this as soon as possible. NORA: Come here! She wipes her wet hands off on Max’s T-Shirt. The scene goes on with some legal stuff.   Bo and Nora realize that Max is desperate after Megan left him. Nora is on a mission to find him a new girlfriend. BO: Honey, the last thing Max Holden needs right now is to start a new relationship. I got a better idea. And this idea is gonna help him through all those long, cold, lonely winter nights. We give him a dog named ‘Mud’. NORA: Good. Oh, that’s excellent. But I don’t necessarily think that dogs living with ??? BO: I’m not gonna touch that line. NORA: Don’t. There must be lots of women in this pile alone that would think that Max Holden was a terrific guy. I mean....look, here’s one right here...Nancy Johnson, ok, graduate of Llanview University, wants to go to Law School...hey, didn’t Max date an assistant DA? BO: Yes, he did. But that was just to pry information out of her. Andy was on trial, selling guns...you remember that? NORA: Ok. Forget that one. How about this one...Lina Tiger... She makes a tiger noise. NORA: ...former mud wrestling champion...ready to take on a new challenge. Oh, it’s perfect. Max can have Mud and mud. BO: Honey... NORA: What? Oh, come on. What’s the matter? Max is a mess. You have to admit he does constitute a challenge. And they say that rolling around in mud is very liberating. Well, that’s what I’ve heard. Bo groans. NORA: Oh, what’s the matter? BO: Do you know what’s it’s like for the rest of us when you decide to take something on as your own, personal mission? NORA: Let’s not see it as a personal mission. I just think that if someone needs help with something and somebody can help someone who needs help with something, then they should do it. I know that if I needed something, I would want someone like me to come along and help me with what it was that I needed help with. BO: See? There! That’s exactly what I’m talking about. NORA: Sweetie, Max is a good guy. He’s also a good friend. He’s a little lost right now. He needs a little support, someone to help him raise the twins. Bo looks incredulous. NORA: Ok, it’s a personal mission. I’m determined to find him the right woman. She goes back to the applications. NORA: No...no.   Bo comes down the stairs and sees that Nora didn’t sleep at all last night. He explains to her that she can’t go on like that...working as a lawyer and running the office. The bell rings. It’s Rachel. Bo opens the door, then leaves them alone. Nora’s very theatrical when she sees Rachel. NORA: Oh, thank god. RACHEL: Well, your message sounded hysterical. NORA: I’m not hysterical. I’m just drowning. You see that wreckage...see that wreckage that used to be a tight ship namely my office. I need help. RACHEL: Ok, how can I help? NORA: By helping me. RACHEL: Oh, mom. I hate to see you in trouble like that. NORA: Well, then just pitch in. RACHEL: It’s not that simple. NORA: Yes, it is. Yes, it is. You’ve worked in my office before. You know how. I just need a few days. Can’t you spare a few days for your mom, just too keep your mother sane? You know, the mother that spent hours and hours, and days and days in labor trying to give you birth? RACHEL: I thought you told me I was an easy birth...you know, ten hours of labor. NORA: You see how desperate I’ve become? I’m now ready to inflict guilt. Please, just until I found an assistant. Please. RACHEL: Oh, mom. I can’t. NORA: I knew it. RACHEL: I’m right in the middle of working out three-month acts for Indigo. I have musicians and managers and agents to call back. I have to reschedule them. I’m swamped. NORA: You never loved me. Mud comes down the stairs and jumps on Nora’s lap. NORA: Bo, I don’t care if you have to call an exorcist. Get this demon from my house! Bo comes down the stairs too. BO: Mud! Come here. Bo whistles. BO: I’ve tried. I have tried all over town. I have tried. NORA: What about Max? He’s lonely. Doesn’t he need a dog. BO: You said Max needed a woman. NORA: Why can’t he have both? BO: Max has always been the kind of guy that wanted it all...so yeah, I give it a shot. But first, I have another cruel, opportunistic, manipulative, little plan. NORA: If you have to be cruel and kind...god, I hope it works. BO: Gotta go, honey. Come on, Mud. See you, Rach. They kiss briefly. NORA: I love you, but don’t you dare come home if you still have that dog. (to Rachel) I’m sorry. I don’t mean to have psychotic breakdown in front of you. RACHEL: Oh, mom. It’s ok. I’ve seen it all before. Nora looks angrily at Rachel. RACHEL: Look, if you kill me, you might never know that I have an answer maybe to you problem.   Bo and Nora at home on THE COUCH. Bo looks under Nora’s files on the table. BO: Maybe that’s where all the food in the house went too. NORA: Cupboard bare? BO: I guess it is, Mother Hubber. NORA: Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot to call the grocery store with the delivery list. BO: It’s ok. I tell you what...when we’re at the diner after that community meeting, ok... Nora doesn’t remember the appointment. Bo tries to give her some hints. BO: ...to replace the statue at Angel’s Square. She still doesn’t remember. BO: You forgot... NORA: I have to meet Georgie back at the office to go over a case. BO: That’s another thing you forgot, honey...sleep. You know, most people go back to their office in the morning after they had breakfast. Of course, we don’t have any coffee in the house either. NORA: I’m a bad wife. BO: I can do the shopping too. We got a certain life style going. NORA: And it ain’t half bad, is it? BO: No, it isn’t. (kiss) Here’s what we’re gonna do. I’m going to the meeting, you go to the office. We stay there one hour. No more that that, all right. Then, on the way home I stop, get a video, get some Chinese take-out. NORA: We rush home, we climb into bed and we make crumbs. Get a video that’s sexy and funny. BO: That’s us (kiss) ...sexy and funny. Ok, how fast can we get back here? NORA: Are you kidding? Fast. On your mark, get set, go. Mud is standing in her was and she stumbles over him. NORA: No! Muddy! Muddy! BO: Honey, are you ok.   Nora has sprained her ankle. She sits at home working on a file. When she starts eating something, Mud comes over and she starts talking to him. NORA: You’re disgusting. Look at you! You’re drooling. He wants to get a bite of whatever Nora’s eating. NORA: No, no, no. These are not for dogs. Sit! Mud really sits down. Nora’s surprised. He doesn’t leave and stares at Nora. NORA: You’re are not gonna rest until you get some of this. All right, all right. I’ll give you a piece. But under one condition. First of all, you can’t speak to me that way. And second of all, I’ll give this to you. But you know what you have to do? You have to eat it someplace else and don’t you beg for any more. Ok, here. Nora gives Mud a piece. Nora is disgusted. NORA: You...you slobbered on me. And I said you had to go eat that in the kitchen. Where did you go? You didn’t leave. Go away now. This is mine. Go away now. Go away. Go. Georgie comes in and tells the dog to go away.   Nora’s on the phone with Max. She wants to play cupid between Max and Georgie. MAX: Hello? NORA: Max, Nora. MAX: How are you doing? NORA: I happen to have the rewrite of your partnership agreement with Jacara and I was wondering if you’d like to come over for dinner and look it over. MAX: Are you cooking? NORA: No! MAX: Is Bo cooking? NORA: No! MAX: Is this one of those bring-the-Chinese-food-on-your-way-over kind of dinners? NORA: Max, you wound me! MAX: Yeah, sure. NORA: My assistant Georgie is doing all the cooking. She is a sensational cook. One would be a fool to pass this up. You met her at the office, didn’t you? MAX: Yeah, Jacara and I met her. NORA: Sensational young woman. MAX: Yeah. You know, I really hate to be fixed up. NORA: Fixed up? I’m not fixing you up. I’m asking you over for dinner. I wasn’t fixing you up. MAX: Right. Ok. What time do you want me over?
