From: bv143@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (T.A. Murray) Subject: PC: Friday Update - 7/4 Date: 6 Jul 1997 03:08:37 GMT Port Charles - Friday Update - July 4th 1997 (posted and e-mailed) Top Ten Signs That Scotty Is An Idiot 10) Escapes from the hospital after major surgery Matt enters the Recovery room where Mike and Frank are remodeling. He asks if Mike will help him bring the rest of his stuff in. He's moved out of the hotel. Mikes resists the invasion as the room isn't "fit for a mouse" yet. "Call, me Mickey", Matt says cheerfully. Mike is still dubious. Karen, dressed in white, walks into the interns room. Joe is lying on the couch asleep. She walks over to him. He wakes up and she kisses him deeply. Just as all the Karen/Joe fans are getting excited, Joe really wakes up to the sound of Karen calling his name. She apologizes for waking him but has no intention of kissing him. 9) Still waiting for Karen to cash her check Scott walks into the ER. Eve who is at the desk, is surprised to see him. He is carrying a package in one hand, and asks Eve if Karen is there. She's around somewhere. Scott tells Eve that he's had a surgeon check him out and he's just fine. Eve faints. 8) Doesn't take advantage of a willing fainting girl in his arms At the lighthouse, Lucy takes care of Serena. Lucy tells the little girl to go and wash her hands, and then make lemonade, and Serena can squeeze the lemons. When Serena leaves Lucy approaches Kevin who is working on the computer. She massages his shoulders and tells him why she's happy. Scott is trusting her with Serena. The phone rings. Lucy takes a message for Scotty. 7) Leaves Kevin and Lucy's phone number to receive private messages Joe and Karen discuss the well-being of the baby the delivered the night before. Karen fears that she hasn't developed "Medical Objectivity". She tells Joe that she has to go back on the floor. The phone call Lucy got was from the airport. They tell her that Mr. Baldwin's plane is ready. Lucy hangs up. She is upset that Scott is taking Serena away. Kevin tries to reason with her. It is Scott's choice where he wants to live with his daughter. Lucy remembers carrying Serena inside of her, and now that she knows the little girl, she won't go back to just getting a video at Christmas. Kevin suggests that Scott might not be moving permanently to Canada. Lucy is not reassured . 6) Thinks Canadian Mounties are his private police force; disappointed they couldn't come to Port Charles Eve comes out of her faint, and tells Scott it was just because she had. Scott offers too buy her a steak in the hospital cafteria. She insists she's fine. He tells her he's going to "miss your sunny dispostion". She asks if he's leaving. He tells her he's off to Canada with Serena. She wishes him good luck. Karen has just come into the room and overheard that Scott is leaving. She looks hurt and grim. 5) Thinks you can buy steak in the hospital cafeteria Karen takes Scott to the intern room. He apologizes for her hearing the news of his departure that way. She shrugs it off. Scott admires the motif of the room. She says she has to get back to work. He hands her a gift. She unwraps the little wooden box. Scott tells her that his phone and address are in it, in case she ever needs to contact him. Scott tells her that Serena did the sanding on the box. Karen asks if she can come and thank Serena and say goodbye. Scott regrets that he hadn't contacted her before. Karen says it's her own fault for tearing up the check and note that he sent. (On her wedding day). Scott explains that he sacrificed a lot of relationships to protect Serena and that he hopes Serena will turn out as well as Karen. Karen tells Scott that watching him at the review board, was the first time she ever felt like she had a father. 4) Wasting a perfectly good daughter Kevin facetiously suggests to Lucy that she could blow up Scott's plane. Lucy considers it. "That's a great idea. Let's do it." Kevin suggests that Lucy just go and talk to Scott. But Lucy has tried that and Scott just won't listen. Kevin returns to sabotage, and says she should take out Scott's directional gyro. Lucy complains that Scott thinks's she's selfish, and maybe she is, but she doesn't want Serena to leave. Serena walks in, and asks if her clothes are all right. Lucy says no, absolutely not. She has to wear something snazzier for The Fourth of July, and put on some sparkly nail polish. Lucy and Serena go to get properly dressed. Eve is eating a granola bar. The Nurse hands her a chart. "What fresh hell is this?" Eve inquires. Wilma, a homeless person, is waiting for her in cubicle three. Eve marches in. Wilma wants to know what her problem is so Eve tells her. She just met a decent good looking guy who's a carpenter. "Dump im," Wilma advises. He's also a zillionaire. "Grab im," Wilma advises. The problem is he's leaving town. Wilma comments that men are either, "married, gay, gone." Wilma's complaint is swollen feet. They can't run tests until tomorrow because the lab is closed for the holiday. Eve admits her anyway, so she won't be on the street for that night. Mike and Matt argue over whether or not he can move in. Mike is reluctant, but Matt is adamant. He can't stay at a hotel anymore because his parents can't afford to keep paying the bill. Mary brings in groceries and starts fixing sandwiches. Mike caves in and tells Frank they'll start remodeling in the back right away. Matt offers to help. Mike says, "You bet your I use a wheelchair' butt, you can." Joe walks into the bar and wants to know if this is all they've gotten done. Nobody smacks him. He comments that Mike has a new helper (referring to Matt). Mike says that Matt is "dynamite with a hammer." (We momentarily feared that another operation was imminent.) Joe goes over to his Mom to bum a sandwich. Mary says that there's a great view of the fireworks from the GH roof and Joe's says yeah he's trying to get a group together to go up there. Mary indiscreetly tells Joe what Rhonda told her about Karen's marriage being in trouble. The workers decided to call it a day. Mary hands out sandwiches to Matt and Frank and the younger people leave. Mike and Mary chat, and he asks her to go out to dinner with him. Their plans are promptly ruined as a pair of police officers come in and arrest Mike for having stolen money. Mary pipes up that the money was hers, not Mike's. They arrest her too. (The PCPD is doing it's usual bang up job. Arresting the proprietor of a commercial establishment for having stolen money when the odds are high that he got it from a customer. Silly.) Karen is already on the General Hospital roof-top, looking very forlorn. Perhaps she's remembering the time Jagger almost fell off of it. Joe and Frank and Matt join Karen on the roof. Matt comments that "Port Charles looks so beautiful from up here". The fireworks start and Joe looks longingly at Karen. Out by the Lighthouse duck pond, Kevin, Lucy, Scott and Serena watch the Fireworks. Serena says there's no fireworks like this in Canada. "Not even on Canada day?" Kevin asks. "Not like this," says Serena. Lucy pointedly says that there are a lot of things here that they don't have in Canada. Scott notices Serena's sparkly nail polish and doesn't seem to like it. Lucy excuses herself for a moment and goes into the house to make a phone call. She calls the airport, tells them she's Scott's assistant, that he was cancelling his flight plans, and to completely overhaul the plane, especially the directional gyro. She doesn't mind that it will take three whole weeks. Lucy slips back to the fireworks and snuggles up to Kevin. Serena asks her where she's been, and she says she just went to order more fireworks. 3) Scott doesn't even use his directional gyro Eve is still working in the ER, and not getting to watch any fireworks. The nurse brings her a pizza. Eve insists that she didn't order it and she's not going to pay for it. The nurse tells her it's a gift from Mr. Baldwin. Eve gets a speculative look on her face. Maybe she hasn't lost this one after all. 2) It's flowers and candy not pizza and marked cash Karen tells Joe that Scotty is going back to Canada. She laments that she was just getting used to him and now she's going to be all alone again. (Hey, what is Rhonda, chopped liver? And Lee... and Gail... and Gina... and Joe for that matter. She'll be killed if this crowd tramples her.) And the number one sign Scott is an idiot: 1) Does not recognize Kevin as a superior being "Duh, hello, Superior Being." -- Stimpson J.
