ANOTHER WORLD 84

Vicky warns Kirkland

WINTHROPS HOUSE

Cass and Allen escort Nicole into her room.

Nicole (walking slowly toward the bed): Everything is prepared so nicely.

Allen (to Cass): Can I talk to you for a minute?

Cass: Sure.

They both go outside of the room…

Allen: I really appreciate what you’re doing for my mother. Thank you.

Cass: Of course.

Allen: I would have had her staying with me but Reginald stopped paying for my room.

Cass: I understand. I just want to make her comfortable, and do the right thing.

Allen: I’m very grateful.

Cass: I’m not gonna let anything happen to her. Enough has happened to her already

MCKINNONS HOUSE

Vicky opens the door…

Vicky: Kirkland!

Kirkland: Hey mom.

Vicky (hugging her son): So good to see you. Come on in. How have you been? We haven’t seen each other that much since you’ve been back.

Kirkland: Things are lookin’ up for me mom.

Vicky: That’s great.

Kirkland: I hear they’re looking up for you, too. Jake and Bridget are back home huh.

Vicky: Yes, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it.

Kirkland: Well I’m happy that you and Bridget have patched things up.

Vicky: Jake, too…so…what about you? What’s going on?

Kirkland: I’ve got some news for you.

Vicky: Oh let me have it.

Kirkland: I’m…running for mayor of Bay City.

Vicky: Wow Kirkland. Congratulations! That’s a huge challenge.

Kirkland: I’m ready for it though.

Vicky: I know you can handle it. Who are you running against?

Kirkland doesn’t answer immediately.

Vicky: Kirkland?

Kirkland: I’m running against dad.

Vicky: Oh my God…you’ve got to pull out of this race.

CARLINO’S RESTAURANT

Paulina is at the counter when Dante walks in, passing by the patrons at the tables.

Dante (holding an envelope): Hi mom.

Paulina: Hi honey. Are ya hungry?

Dante: Yeah, but I’m gonna wait for Elizabeth.

Paulina: Oh okay. Whatcha got in your hand?

Dante (nervously): I wanted you to look at this.

Dante gives the letter to Paulina…

Paulina (reading): Police Academy….you got accepted.

Dante: Can you be happy for me?

Paulina: You know I’m against this.

Dante: Why? I just want to be like dad.

Grant walks in and observes.

Paulina: That’s exactly the problem. You’re gonna be just like your dad…dead…if you go through with this.

CASS BRINGS NICOLE A PLATE OF FOOD….

Nicole: Oh Cass you don’t have to do this.

Cass: It’s no problem.

Nicole: I could have stayed at the Love Mansion and had servants.

Cass: Donna and I hired nurses for you.

Nicole: Why are you being so good to me now?

Cass: Nicole we were engaged to be married. I still care about you…now eat. You’re gonna need all your strength.

Nicole smiles and takes a bite to eat.

VICKY and KIRKLAND CONTINUE THEIR CONVERSATION

Kirkland: Mom I thought you’d support me.

Vicky: I would if you weren’t running against Grant.

Kirkland: I can handle dad.

Vicky: When it comes to politics, Grant can be ruthless, and when it comes to winning the election, it’s not gonna matter that you’re his son. You’ve got to drop out.

Kirkland: I’m more like dad than you realize.

Vicky: That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Have you forgotten what Grant has done. He pulled every trick in the book to take you away from me.

Kirkland: Don’t forget shooting himself, and burning Paulina’s house down, although there’s no proof.

Vicky: And you’re NOTHING like that! I don’t wanna hear you talk like that again.

Kirkland: That’s why I have to run for mayor. People like dad can’t run Bay City.

Vicky: Then let someone else unseat him, not you. There’s no telling what he’s capable of.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GRANT INTERJECTS…

Grant: That’s not gonna happen Paulina. He’s gonna be a great cop just like Joe was.

Paulina: You don’t know that.

Dante: Mom this is what I really want, and dad would be proud of me.

Paulina: Being a cop is dangerous and I’m not gonna lose you like I lost Joe.

Elizabeth walks up to them….

Elizabeth: Hi Mrs. Carlino. Mr. Harrison.

Paulina: Elizabeth hi.

Elizabeth: Hey I have some news.

Dante: What is it?

Elizabeth: My dad’s home.

Paulina (shocked): What? Carl?

Elizabeth: Frankie and mom brought him home.

Grant: Wow. Didn’t he have a brain tumor?

Elizabeth: He’s all better.

Dante: That’s great. I know you’re happy.

Elizabeth: It’s like a miracle.

Paulina: Wow. Grant I’m gonna go call Rachel if you don’t mind.

Grant: Of course.

Dante and Elizabeth leave.

Grant (making a call on his cell phone): He’s back.
