From: Justene Adamec <Justene@worldnet.att.net> Subject: PC: Update, Tuesday, June 3 Date: Tue, 03 Jun 1997 19:02:00 -0700 Some preliminary notes; I am truly sorry that I can't transcribe all of Kevin and Lucy's dialogue and still get this out today. They were at their Kevin and Lucy best. If you have the tape, stop reading now and go watch! Flashback alert: My heart sunk yesterdsay when the flashback started but I was relieved to discover it was a flashback to childhood. I thought that maybe with only a half hour, they would dump the filler flashbacks. No such luck. We had a flashback to the movie today. My tape had been cutting off the beginning so I reset it. I am 99.99% sure that I got to the end, but someone please let me know if I cut a scene. We open in the Scanlon kitchen. Mom believes that this is a social call and is making small talk. Joe and Alan excuse themselves to the porch for a replay of Sunday night. Alan tells Joe that he returned because he did not want to leave things on a bad note. Joe says "does this mean that I don't have to go before the review board?" (Hard to believe that this is his position but he's sticking to it.) Alan explains that he does have to go before the review board and they argue. Joe says (paraphrasing) "I see, you can screw up my whole life but you don't want me to feel bad about it." Cut to Lucy, Kevin and the FBI boys. Lucy reiterates how she couldn't possibly have kidnapped Serena and the FBI boys reiterate how they're not listening to a word she says. FBI boys go to call Scott. This call requires two of them to cross the room, conveniently leaving us with a K&L moment. Kevin tells Lucy how strong she's being. FBI boys return, together, to tell her no one is answering and then we Cut to Scotty on the ground. Scotty starts to wake up and Karen tries to get him to move still. Lee and Gail, having taken lessons from the FBI boys, leave together to call the ambulance. Scotty continues to insist that he has to find Serena and Karen continues to insist that he stay still. The Scanlon kitchen again. Frank gets a call and tells Mom that Audrey is out of surgery, critical but stable. The argument on the porch. Joe insists that Alan is applying normal standards to an insane situation and failing to account for the fact that he had a gun pointed at him. Alan finally loses his cool and tells Joe not to talk that way to him again. Alan tells Joe (and the audience) that the committee repeatedly heard that Joe had a lot of talent but is very volatile. Alan offers to forget everything that Joe has said to him but Joe has to get himself under control. (Note to Joe: it's a good deal, take it.) Frank comes out to the porch and reports on Audrey. Alan says that everyone had better hope for a full recovery and leaves. Frank asks Joe what the hell is going on and Joe evades him. They return to the kitchen where Mom insists that she has to stay and clean to relieve her stress. They start to humor her and Joe gets a glass and milk. Mom asks what he did for Audrey. Joe says she got a head injury and he had to relieve the pressure. Mom asks how they did that. Joe says there was a drill and we flashback to the closeup of the drill just before he starts. End of flashback and Joe has poured the milk everywhere because he spaced out. Mom, apparently unaware that she is a nurse, doesn't understand what he did with a drill. They tell her to drop it and she does. (I suppose that drill thing didn't tweak her curiosity too much.) They fill Mom in on the fact that Karen is one of the interns. Mom coments that Rhonda didn't tell her that Karen was back in town. Frank and Joe get an ambulance call. (This was the first time I realized that Joe was on call with Frank.) They rush out despite the recent stress and Mom looks after and says "just like your father." Lucy and Kevin are pacing in the police station and Lucy is wondering where Scott is. The FBI boys bring her food. Lucy looks at it and immediately becomes nauseated. Kevin chalks in up to stress. Lucy commnents on how she is stressed "in a subtextual way." FINALLY! Lucy says "I've been trying to wait but they won't leave." Then she turns to the FBI boys and says "OK gentlemen, I want to confess." They get all hot and bothered. She tells them she had an appt at 3 with Dr. Nancy Newman. The quick and almost accurate transcription: Kevin interjects "you didn't tell me that" Lucy -- "I had a blood test and waited until 7 for the results and drove the nurse crazy while I waited." Kevin looks confused, the FBI boys leave, together, to check this out. Kevin asks why she didn't say this 5 hours ago. Lucy says she wanted it to be perfect. Kevin -- "Nancy Newman is an obstetrician." Lucy -- "yes" Kevin -- "does that mean . . .?" Lucy -- "we're going to have a baby." Lucy starts to cry and hug him. Kevin just looks shellshocked. Cut to Scotty. The ambulance arrives with Joe and Frank and they are at least surprised to run into Karen. Scotty insists he has to go find Serena. They insist he has to go to the hospital. They win the argument, probably because Scotty is incapable of getting up off the ground. They load him into the abulance. Karen says she is riding with them. Lee, who has returned together with Gail, promises to find Serena. In the back of the ambulance, Karen tells Joe that Scotty is her father. Lucy is still crying in the police station. Kevin asks if she is upset and she says no, she is hormonal. She wanted to tell him at the duck pond. She then describes what she had planned. Kevin tells her it's ok -- if she didn't tell him in the middle of a police station after spending the night in the elevator shaft, how would he know it was her. Then they talk about Sigmund and how this will affect him. Lucy assures Doc that this wasn't a plot to get him to marry her, that they have evolved way beyond marriage. Kevin suggests that they find a more romantic place to discuss marriage. The FBI boys return -- together -- and tell her that Dr. Newman has confirmed her story and she is free to go. Joe, Frank and Karen are rushing into ER with Scotty shouting out vitals. Dr. Burgess (our first glimpse of her -- to me, she looks remarkably like Dara) takes over, dismissing them. Joe tries to get Karen into the room by announcing that she's an intern and then that she's his daughter. Frank overhears this. Burgess snaps "you're wasting my time." They stand in front of the doors and Frank says "so he's your father." Karen says, with quite a bit of attitude, "surprise I had one after all." (I can't understand why she's leaning on Joe and sniping at Frank.) Burgess comes out and gives Karen the consent form for Scotty. Karen says that the circumstances are unusual and hestitates about signing. Burgess, annoyed, basically orders her to sign it. Burgess passes off the consent and the patient to the "surgeons." Alan calls Burgess over. He tells her that she is new chief resident with Falk dead. Burgess says she'll have to supervise the interns starting tomorrow but she doesn't know who they are. Alan points to Joe and Karen and says she has met two of them. He says that he has known Karen a long time and she will be good. Burgess, apparently able to develop a grudge quickly, says "if you say so." He tells her the other is Joe Scanlon but he won't be starting tomorrow because he is on suspension. Burgess says "already?" Frank at the other end of the counter, overhears the suspension part and seems surprised. We end with Karen and Joe. Karen tells him that she doesn't belong in Port Charles and she is returning to San Francisco. -- ************************************************************************* Justene M. Adamec, Esq.
