- After Nora Runs
Away - The Biker Bar hotel
- and then in the
courtroom
-
- Nora is walking around in
the empty motel room waiting for Sam to return. She hears the
door open.
NORA: Well, its about time. I thought youd come...
She realizes that it is Bo.
BO: You cut your hair.
They stare at each other for a second.
BO: So, how much trouble are we in, Red?
-
- NORA: Are we in trouble?
I dont know about you, but Im not. Im about
to start a whole new life...where you dont even exist.
She walks past him. Bo tries to grab her arm to stop her.
BO: Honey, dont do this.
NORA: Dont you...
Sam comes in.
NORA: Sam, lets go! Can I have the car keys? Please, lets
go.
SAMAX: No, Nora. No. I...
NORA: You called him. You called him?
SAMAX: I did what I thought was the best thing for you.
BO: What he did was right.
NORA: Oh, well, thank you both so very much. What did you do?
Have a little chit-chat session, man to man, to decide what poor
little Nora ought to do and who she ought to be with?
BO: It wasnt like that!
NORA: I dont care how it was. Im telling you how
it is. I dont want either one of you. Goodbye.
Sam stands in her way.
SAMAX: Nora...
-
- SAMAX: Calm down. Wait a
minute. Dont be a chicken here, all right? You dont
have the nerve to face him? Hmm?
NORA: Why should I have to? I can barely stand the sight of him.
BO: So, you dont wanna listen to a single thing I have
to say?
NORA: I dont have the time.
SAMAX: You dont have the guts.
NORA: When did you change parties? Was is some machoal bonding
bull?
SAMAX: You understand what Im saying? If you dont
have the nerve to turn around and face your husband and ask him
about his relationship with Georgie Phillips...
BO: Theres no relationship!
SAMAX: If you dont have the nerve to ask him about that,
what makes you think youre gonna the nerve to leave Llanview
and come to Chicago with me?
BO: Chicago?
SAMAX: Ill be in the bar.
Sam leaves.
BO: You think Im gonna let you run off to Chicago with
him?
NORA: You dont have a vote, Bo. You cant tell me
what to do or where to go or who to go with. You lost that vote
when you hopped into sack with ole Georgie girl.
BO: That never happened.
She picks up the doctored photo from the bed.
NORA: Then explain this, will you please? Let me point it out
to you! See, thats is you, thats Georgie, thats
my nightgown, this is our bed. You put it all together, it spells
cheating, otherwise known as infidelity, otherwise known as get
the hell out of my life!
BO: You put this together, this spells fraud. This picture is
a fake.
NORA: Really? And Georgies journal?
BO: Ah!
NORA: I had the pleasure of closing that little ditty. Well,
it was quite a fall-out piece of work, a real eye-full, real
play by play: sleek and smooth, ready to dump the old, red sponge.
Well, heres a newsflash. The old, red sponge is doing the
dumping. No! Youve been dumped.
Bo tries to hold her and turn her to him.
BO: Honey, listen to me! Listen! Listen! Do you think that I
could say something like that? Do you?
NORA: I have no idea. I havent even met that men in that
journal.
BO: Thats exactly right. And you never will meet him. You
know why? He doesnt exist. He only exists in Georgies
twisted little imagination. Look at me! Nora, look at me! I never
slept with Georgie Phillips, all right...not in our bed, not
in any other bed. I never had an affair with Georgie. I never
came on to her. She lied about all of that. And then she went
out of her way to really back it up. But it never happened, honey.
Please, Nora. You gotta believe that.
NORA: Thats it? I mean...its all lies? Fake?
BO: Yes.
Forgery?
BO: Yes.
N. And thats the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
BO: Ah! Not exactly.
Nora slaps him across the face.
-
- BO: Honey, I know youre
hurting and calibrating right now, but you need to know something.
I love you. I have never lied to you. Never!
NORA: Except by the mission.
BO: I love you with my heart and soul. And Id love to tell
you that I love you with my head right now, but it ought to be
examined, because Ive been the biggest chump in the world.
She set me up.
NORA: Georgie?
BO: Yeah.
NORA: How?
BO: The first thing she did was out of the blue telling me that
she loved me.
Nora has started to cry by now.
NORA: And you said?
BO: And I said quote I love my wife. Now, I wanted
to let her down easy. Because I figured that she was some lonely,
desperate kid. Shes helped you a lot...in a lot of different
ways. She made that video for Rachels birthday. So, I said:
You know, lets just forget this ever happened.
But I think she took that wrong. Cuz after that she made a major
move on me.
NORA: Was that the night of the poker game at the lodge?
BO: Yeah. She was waiting for me. And then she opened her raincoat.
And she didnt have a stitch on underneath. I never touched
her. Never! I swear. And I think thats what made her made...that
I wouldnt go along with the program. So she started going
crazy. She started slamming her head against the steering wheel.
And then the next day, she pretended that her married boyfriend
had beat her up. And she conned you in to believe in that. And
you took her home. You wanted to take care of her.
NORA: You came home and threw her out.
BO: Yeah. And now you know why.
NORA: What I dont know is why you didnt tell me all
of this then?
BO: Thats the biggest mistake Ive ever made in my
whole life. But I knew that youd feel betrayed.
NORA: Oh, I suppose to how I feel now?
B. Theres more.
NORA: Oh, god.
BO: I had her checked out.
NORA: Does she have a record?
BO: Not criminal, but Andy was able to dig up some pretty ugly
stuff on her. It seems like Georgie has paid her way through
life by just gloming on to married men and then driving their
wives to near suicide. And I know that thats probably...thats
exactly what she had in mind for us. And I wanted her out of
our life...fast.
NORA: The job offer in Seattle.
BO: I asked Asa to set it up. And he did. And Georgie promised
that shed go along with this. So I thought Perfect.
This is the end of it. I was sure that this is the end
of it. And then, all of a sudden, someway, she was able to come
up with this phony picture. And I know shes gonna use this.
She called me on my cell phone the night of my party and she
said that she had to see me....that night or else. And I thought
Fine. Thats great. I started heading for the
lodge, because I wanted to have it out with her...once and for
all. And I never saw her.
Nora puts her hands in front of her eyes.
BO: What? What?
NORA: You almost did it. You almost had me. You almost had me.
And then you lied.
BO: Nora, I...No!
NORA: I went to the lodge, Bo. I saw Georgie there and I saw
you there too, kissing her.
BO: What? I never saw...
Bos cell rings.
NORA: Dont come answer that phone, Buchanan! Dont
come answer that.
BO: I have to. Im in the middle of an investigation. (on
the phone) Buchanan.
DEL: We found Georgie Phillips.
BO: Yeah? What she got to say for herself?
DEL: Not much. Shes been murdered.
BO: Ill be right there.
NORA: Fine, fine. Go! Go! What happened? Go!
BO: Honey, Georgies dead.
-
- Bo dragged Nora into an empty
courtroom.
BO: Couldnt have been easy listening to all of that.
NORA: Well, now I know what the First Lady goes through.
BO: I wanted to keep you out of this mess. And I thought I could.
NORA: That was a stupid move. It was arrogant.
BO: Yeah. I had no idea just how crazy Georgie Phillips really
was. But I keep telling you...that picture never happened, Red.
He want to take her into his arms, but she doesnt want
to.
NORA: Dont call me that! Please.
BO: You gotta believe me.
NORA: I know. Photos can be faked.
BO: Exactly.
NORA: Diary entries can be lies.
BO: Sick fantasies.
NORA: And what about the rest?
BO: Like what?
NORA: Like all the missed meal and the late night hours.
BO: I had two maniacs shooting up bodegas.
NORA: You should have come to me, Bo.
They both sit down.
BO: It was a huge, huge mistake. I wanted to tell you that night,
but you were upset, because Asa had been bugging you about giving
him another grandchild. I didnt have the heart to tell
you.
NORA: An emotional woman should be protected, right?
BO: If its the woman I love...yeah.
NORA: And what about the mess the bed was in? And the nightgown
lying on the floor...same nightgown that Georgie was wearing
in that photo with you? Was that protection? Or love?
BO: I swear I never slept with Georgie. Now, I dont know
how she raked that picture.
NORA: You know, the picture is just such a small piece of it.
You agreed to meet Georgie at the lodge.
BO: Yes, I did. I agreed to meet her, so I could put an end to
all the nonsense of hers. And on the way to the lodge, I had
a flat. I changed the tire. And then I couldnt get the
jeep started. I walked the rest of the way to the lodge.
Nora looks incredulously at him.
BO: When I got there, the lights were out, honey. Georgie was
gone.
NORA: She was there, Bo. I saw her through the window with you.
BO: I wasnt there.
NORA: I saw you kissing Georgie Phillips.
BO: It wasnt me.
NORA: Then who was it?
BO: The murderer.
-
- BO: You gotta tell Del everything
you saw, everything you remember. Its a key.
NORA: To what? I mean who else wanted Georgie Phillips dead?
BO: Half the men in America according to all the stuff we dug
up on her.
NORA: Just more things that you kept from me for weeks!
BO: That was another huge mistake.
NORA: You got that right.
BO: We can get through this...together.
NORA: You know, Todd is out there and hes constructing
a hell of a case against you.
BO: Todd! Its all circumstantial.
NORA: Is it?
BO: Yeah. You dont believe me! If you dont believe
me, how can I expect anybody else to believe me? Youre
my wife, my love, my partner. You know whats in my soul.
I dont...whatever youre feeling right now, you know
I could never do this.
NORA: I dont know what I know anymore. I need time. I need
time.
Asa knocks on the door to the courtroom.
ASA: Nora! Bo! Open up!
