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, it’s about time. I thought you’d 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 don’t know about you, but I’m not. I’m about to start a whole new life...where you don’t even exist.
She walks past him. Bo tries to grab her arm to stop her.
BO: Honey, don’t do this.
NORA: Don’t you...
Sam comes in.
NORA: Sam, let’s go! Can I have the car keys? Please, let’s 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 wasn’t like that!
NORA: I don’t care how it was. I’m telling you how it is. I don’t want either one of you. Goodbye.
Sam stands in her way.
SAMAX: Nora...
 
SAMAX: Calm down. Wait a minute. Don’t be a chicken here, all right? You don’t have the nerve to face him? Hmm?
NORA: Why should I have to? I can barely stand the sight of him.
BO: So, you don’t wanna listen to a single thing I have to say?
NORA: I don’t have the time.
SAMAX: You don’t have the guts.
NORA: When did you change parties? Was is some machoal bonding bull?
SAMAX: You understand what I’m saying? If you don’t have the nerve to turn around and face your husband and ask him about his relationship with Georgie Phillips...
BO: There’s no relationship!
SAMAX: If you don’t have the nerve to ask him about that, what makes you think you’re gonna the nerve to leave Llanview and come to Chicago with me?
BO: Chicago?
SAMAX: I’ll be in the bar.
Sam leaves.
BO: You think I’m gonna let you run off to Chicago with him?
NORA: You don’t have a vote, Bo. You can’t 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, that’s is you, that’s Georgie, that’s 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 Georgie’s 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, here’s a newsflash. The old, red sponge is doing the dumping. No! You’ve 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 haven’t even met that men in that journal.
BO: That’s exactly right. And you never will meet him. You know why? He doesn’t exist. He only exists in Georgie’s 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: That’s it? I mean...it’s all lies? Fake?
BO: Yes.
Forgery?
BO: Yes.
N. And that’s the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
BO: Ah! Not exactly.
Nora slaps him across the face.
 
BO: Honey, I know you’re 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 I’d love to tell you that I love you with my head right now, but it ought to be examined, because I’ve 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. She’s helped you a lot...in a lot of different ways. She made that video for Rachel’s birthday. So, I said: ‘You know, let’s 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 didn’t have a stitch on underneath. I never touched her. Never! I swear. And I think that’s what made her made...that I wouldn’t 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 don’t know is why you didn’t tell me all of this then?
BO: That’s the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my whole life. But I knew that you’d feel betrayed.
NORA: Oh, I suppose to how I feel now?
B. There’s 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 that’s probably...that’s 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 she’d 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 she’s 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. That’s 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...
Bo’s cell rings.
NORA: Don’t come answer that phone, Buchanan! Don’t come answer that.
BO: I have to. I’m 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. She’s been murdered.
BO: I’ll be right there.
NORA: Fine, fine. Go! Go! What happened? Go!
BO: Honey, Georgie’s dead.
 
Bo dragged Nora into an empty courtroom.
BO: Couldn’t 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 doesn’t want to.
NORA: Don’t 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 didn’t have the heart to tell you.
NORA: An emotional woman should be protected, right?
BO: If it’s 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 don’t 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 couldn’t 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 wasn’t there.
NORA: I saw you kissing Georgie Phillips.
BO: It wasn’t me.
NORA: Then who was it?
BO: The murderer.
 
BO: You gotta tell Del everything you saw, everything you remember. It’s 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 he’s constructing a hell of a case against you.
BO: Todd! It’s all circumstantial.
NORA: Is it?
BO: Yeah. You don’t believe me! If you don’t believe me, how can I expect anybody else to believe me? You’re my wife, my love, my partner. You know what’s in my soul. I don’t...whatever you’re feeling right now, you know I could never do this.
NORA: I don’t know what I know anymore. I need time. I need time.
Asa knocks on the door to the courtroom.
ASA: Nora! Bo! Open up!
