CENTER…
John and Sharlene are sitting at a table gazing at each other.
John: What are you wearing?
Sharlene: Clothes.
John: So it’s your clothes that I smell?
Sharlene: It’s must be Gain. You’ve seen the commercials right?
John: Oh the guy who is smelling the dog’s blanket.
Sharlene: Mi towel su towel.
John: I think it has something to do with the perfume. It’s driving me crazy.
Sharlene: Is it now?
John: If it was legal to do it outside, I would.
Sharlene smiles.
Sharlene: If you didn’t have to get back to work…
John: This day is just getting better and better.
Sharlene: What happened at the hospital?
John: I hired a new RN.
Sharlene: You are on a roll aren’t you
John: Yep. Brianna Jameson.

HOSPITAL EXAM ROOM
Matt is having his vitals taken by Brianna Jameson
.
Brianna: 128 over 74.
Matt: Is that good?
Brianna: Yeah.
Matt: So can I go now? I got work to do at the office.
Brianna: Are you one of those all work no play guys?
Matt: Haven’t had much time for leisure. Why?
Brianna: I...I just...never mind.
Matt: No what is it?
Brianna: I recently moved to Bay City.
Matt: Really? From where?
Brianna: Philadelphia.
Matt: Philly huh? Big city life got to ya?
Brianna: Any good places to go for single gals like me?
Matt: I would tell you but then you would probably miss out.
Brianna: How?
Matt: You know there are...places in town that I couldn’t tell where to go and how to get there, but I definitely know the way.
Brianna smiles.
Brianna: That means you’d have to take me.
Matt: That means you’d have to let me.
Brianna: I think...that could be arranged. Provided you take care yourself.
Matt: So what’s my prognosis?
Brianna: You’re dehydrated. You need to drink more fluids and eat something.
Matt: You have better beside manner than a lot of doctors.
Brianna: Flattery will get you...somewhere. I’ll get the doctor.
Brianna jots down Matt’s vitals on his chart, places it in the bin that holds the charts, and leaves the room.
-----------------------------------------------
OUTSIDE THE EXAM ROOM.
Brianna gets a phone call on her cell phone and she answers.
Brianna: Hello?....Oh…Are you sure?
She takes a deep breath.
Brianna: Okay I’m coming up there.
----------------------------------------------
AT THE MONTGOMERYS
With Marley lying on the couch. Tyrone opens the door to Vicky.
Tyrone: Hey Vicky. Come in.
Marley: Hey sis. Glad you stopped by.
Vicky: Yeah uh...guess my little nephew’s enjoying the warmth of your belly.
Marley: I’m not technically due yet.
Tyrone: The actual date is in a couple days.
Vicky: If you don’t deliver they’re gonna have to induce labor right?
Marley: Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
Vicky: I remember when I was pregnant with the twins. Jake waited me hand and foot, and I wasn’t even on bed rest. Those were the days...when we were happy.
Marley: Vicky is everything okay?
Vicky: Well, if the girls stop fighting each other, Jake decides to rethink the divorce, and Steven decides not to date Joy, everything would be perfect.
Tyrone: Steven’s dating who?
Vicky: Joy Kramer. The one and only.
Marley: Is he crazy? He needs to get away from her before she hurts him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALSO AT THE CENTER…
Steven
sits across the table from Joy
…
Steven: I think it was over there where you dropped your cell phone.
Joy: No your cousin caused me to drop it.
Steven: Oh did I hit a nerve?
Joy: Yeah because I loved that phone.
Steven: So you don’t like the phone I picked out?
Joy: That’s not what I said. Stop putting words in my mouth.
Steven: So what can I put in your mouth?
Joy: That smooth tongue will do for now.
Steven gets up, leans over and plants a kiss on Joy, who reciprocates.
Steven: Wait.
Joy: What is it? You’re not finished kissing me are you?
Steven: No, but I didn’t get an answer.
Joy: To what?
Steven: Being my date to Carl Hutchins’ party.
-----------------------------------------------
BACK AT THE HOSPITAL…Maggie
, wearing a white lab coat, walks into the exam room with a chart, where Matt is buttoning his shirt.
Maggie: Oh it’s you.
Matt: I’m happy to see you, too Dr. Winthrop.
Maggie: So you had a dizzy spell at the office.
Matt: It was nothing.
Maggie: You need to rest and stay hydrated.
Matt: There’s been a lot going on at Cory Productions.
Maggie: And you need to let someone else handle things for now. You need to be away from work for a few days. Doctor’s orders.
Maggie looks at Matt’s chart.
Matt: Can you send that nurse back in?
Maggie (looking at the chart): Brianna Jameson?
Matt: She was really nice.
Maggie: You need to concentrate on taking it easy and getting some rest. You can focus on Brianna Jameson some other time.
----------------------------------------------------
DOOR
Brianna walks up to a doctor who is standing at this door.
Doctor: You’re the next of kin, so we called.
Brianna: What’s going on? Is it?
Doctor: Yeah it’s time. I think it would be comforting for her last moments to be spent with you. I’ll leave you two alone.
Brianna pushes the door open, and walks slowly toward the person in the bed. She pulls up a chair, sits at the bedside, and clenches the person’s right hand.
Brianna: Mama? Mama it’s Ellen.
The person lying in the bed is Taylor Benson. Taylor has tubes hooked up to her nose, as her monitor beeps. She opens her eyes and smiles.
Taylor: My sweet girl. I’m so glad to see you.
CAMERA PAN ON TAYLOR…SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG
PART 2
Tyrone: That girl’s gonna ruin his life.
Marley: Call him. I’ll talk to him. I’ll happily fill him in on everything that Joy did to us.
Vicky: No...no that won’t be necessary.
Marley: Why not? We have to tell him what she’s capable of.
Vicky: I’ve tried that.
Tyrone: I take it didn’t work huh.
Vicky: No. Unfortunately it didn’t. Steven is hung up on her
-------------------------------------------------------
Joy: Carl Hutchins?
Steven: You’ve never heard of him huh?
Joy: No not much actually. Just bits and pieces, but I have heard of the Cory Mansion. Thomasina told me about it.
Steven: How is she?
Joy: I talked to her on the phone. She’s in great spirits. She’s doing so much better.
Steven: Glad to hear that.
Joy smiles and gazes into Steven’s eyes.
Joy: You know I didn’t think I’d stay in Bay City when I came. I thought it was going a bit of a pit stop for me.
Steven: I’d like to think I had something to do with changing your mind about it.
Joy: Well, I certainly didn’t expect this.
Steven: Expect what?
Joy: Liking you this much.
Steven: You make it sound like it’s a bad thing.
Joy: Noooo that’s not what I mean. It’s actually a great thing. Things are...finally gonna go my way.
Steven: I don’t care what my mother says about you.
Joy: So I’m sure Vicky’s told you about what happened between Tyrone and me.
Steven: And I don’t care. That occurred in the past. This is now, and all I know...right now...is that I feel so lucky to have met you.
Joy: Me, too.
Steven leans over and kisses her.
-----------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, John and Sharlene observe Steven and Joy…
Sharlene: Look at them.
John: Is that my nephew?
Sharlene: Sure looks like it. My goodness he’s all grown up. It just amazes me how all the kids are grown now. Our own child. Charlie, Kirkland. Time sure has flown.
John: And I wanna spend all the rest of my time with you.
Sharlene: You know Gregory is such a blessing to us. He probably saved my life.
John: How?
Sharlene: The day I gave birth to him in the shed.
John: How could I forget? How could I forget anything that…?
Sharlene: Mood killer aren’t I? I guess Taylor Benson is gonna be etched in our memories forever.
