Welcome to the Thursday, September 8, 1994 Loving Update!

After much deliberation, I am sorry to report that I will no longer be
able to do the Thursday update on a regular basis.  I will, however, be
happy to move onto the backup updaters list.  Real Life (tm) has taken
over.

If you would be interested in doing the regular Thursday Loving update,
please let me know.

And now onto the update:

The hospital

Angie and Trucker are talking.  Angie is getting out of the hospital "tomorrow".
She is talking about how strange it is to be a patient in the hospital where
she is a doctor.  She feels guilty that she's not pitching in.  Trucker
sits down.  The bone marrow transplant went well.  She asks about how
Trucker is doing.  He's hanging in there.  Dinah Lee had a stroke.  She's
stable.  
Trucker: I guess she'll be okay, huh?
Angie:  I'd like to help if I can.
Trucker: I don't think there's really anything you can do.
Angie:  I'm a doctor.  And I'm your friend.  I can help you sort through 
things if you have any questions or concerns.
Trucker: Well....she just seems so.......well.....lost.
Angie:  And confused?
Trucker: Yeah.  And I want to help her find her way back?  But I don't know how.

In a bathroom

Curtis is staring at himself in the mirror with a handful of sleeping pills
in his hand.  He is remembering his conversation with Jeremy! about how he
fixed the AE jet.  He is miserable.  He takes some pills.

Hunter & Wilder

Gwyn is just leaving to give a presentation.  She reminds Jeremy! that
she needs the storyboards.  He says that she is going to kill him.  
Gwyn:  You forgot them.  That's okay, just tell me where they are and I'll pick
them up on my way there.
Jer!:  No.  I forgot to do them.
Gwyn:  You forgot to do them.
Jer!:  I'm really sorry.
Gwyn:  Jeremy, I told you three times I need the storyboards for this 
presentation.  
Jer!:  I'm sorry, I don't know what else to tell you.
Gwyn:  It's not like you to forget a deadline.
Jer!:  I've been busy with the other accounts.
Gwyn:  Are they done?
Jer!:  Practically.
Gwyn:  Jeremy, I haven't seen you pick up a pencil or a paintbrush for over 
a week.
Jer!:  I've been working at home....I can't seem to concentrate here.
Gwyn:  Don't hand me that.  I can't believe it's taken me this long to figure 
it out.
Jer!:  What?  A beautiful in an empty office.
Gwyn:  Jeremy, you are just not yourself lately, and I know why.

Clay's bedroom

Alex and Ava enter the room.
Alex: What's Lenox going to think when he comes back and we're not there?
Ava:  He'll probably think we took a walk in the garden.  Will you please relax?
Alex: Relax?  I'm married to you.  What's going on here?  You tell me to meet
you here.  You won't tell me why.  We're not here 5 minutes and we're in
Clay's bedroom.
Ava:  Alex, I wanted to show you something.
Alex: What?
Ava:  What?  What?  This!
Alex: This?  The master bedroom.
Ava:  Aaahhh.  The Master's Bedroom.
Alex: The Master's bedroom?
Ava:  Yes, Alex, this should be ours!
Alex: *sigh*

Opening Credits

Clay's bedroom

Alex: All right, we're going.
Ava:  Alex...
Alex: Ava, this is another man's bedroom in another man's house.
Ava:  Yes, but Lenox said that Cabot and Isabelle wouldn't be back for an hour.
Alex: But they didn't say go on up to the master bedroom, they said wait in 
the...  What are you doing?  {Ava has closed and locked the door.}
Ava:  Remember when this used to be our bedroom?  {She goes over and bounces on 
the bed.}
Alex: Ava, get off of there.
Ava:  Oh, Alex, come on.  Don't you miss it just a little bit?
Alex: I know what this is all about.
Ava:  What?
Alex: You're still vying for the big piece of Alden pie.
Ava:  They offered to us.
Alex: They didn't offer it to us, they offered it to Kate.
They banter back and forth about the money.  Ava wants the money, she thinks
they deserve it.  Alex is on Kate's side.  Alex claims he came to this 
conclusion on his own.  Ava tries to get Alex to remember what it was like
when they were Mr. and Mrs. Clay Alden.  We had everything!
Alex: I thought we had everything now.
Ava:  We have love, but we don't have THIS!  Power!  We had a little taste of 
it, don't you remember?
Alex: Yes, I remember.  I also remember that we started to turn into people 
that we weren't.
Ava:  Come on, Alex, don't you want it?  You want it.  It's all right to 
want it.
{They fall onto the bed kissing.}

Hunter & Wilder

Gwyn says that Jeremy! is acting strange with Angie and Dinah Lee in the
hospital.  She understands and is impressed that he's handling this as
well as he is.  He says that sometimes, she knows him better than he
knows himself.  :-))))  She tells him that if he focuses on his work, he
will feel better.  She wants the visuals.  She wants him to finish what
he's started and messenger them over to the meeting.  Exit Gwyn.
Jeremy!:  Jeremy, why couldn't you have been an idea man?
He takes out some paper and a pen and scribbles a bit.  He makes "artistic"
noises.  :-)  There is a knock at the door.  It's Curtis, looking terrible.
Curtis:  Help me.
Jeremy!: Curtis are you all right?
Curtis:  I'm so sorry.  So sorry.

Hospital - Angie's room

Trucker: So, you talked to Dinah Lee's doctor?
Angie:  Briefly, yes.
Trucker: What did he say?
Angie:  Not much.  Just that stroke left her with some weakness on the left
side of her body and that there are some neurologic problems.
Trucker: But she will recover?
Angie:  Good chance.  But it will be slow and difficult.
Trucker: Uh, see, it just happened so fast.  It seemed like she was getting 
better.  We were talking and...BAM!  It just happened out of nowhere.  Tell 
me what I can do now for her.
Angie:  Well, the first thing you should do is educate yourself about her 
condition.  Learn all you can.
Trucker: Can you give me a list of books?
Angie:  Yeah, sure.  And articles.  I also think you should talk to Dr. 
Fogelson, he's very accessible.  I'm sure he'd be very happy to sit down 
and talk with you in detail.
Trucker: Okay.
Angie:  Also, Dinah Lee will probably be starting therapy very soon.
Trucker: Next week.
Angie:  Good.  You should try and attend as many of her sessions as possible.
Trucker: All right.
Angie:  The idea is that once you thoroughly understand her condition, you will
be able to help her with more confidence and take a larger role in her
recovery process.  You know, it's going to be a long haul Trucker, and it's
not going to be very easy for either of you.  But I know that you'll make it.
Trucker: Thanks.
Angie:  What's the matter?
Trucker: It's just that.....everything is based on the assumption that 
Dinah Lee is going to recover.  What if she doesn't?

Hunter and Wilder

Jeremy!: Okay, we're all alone.  What's wrong?
Curtis:  Everything I do is wrong.
Jeremy!: What's the matter with you?  You drunk?
Curtis:  I just want to die.  I don't want to be here any more.
Jeremy!: Don't say that.
Curtis:  After what I did I don't deserve to live.
Jeremy!: Suicide is the coward's way out, Curtis.
Curtis:  I killed someone.  I killed Janie and Dinah Lee is lying in a hospital.
Jeremy!: How many drinks did you have?
Curtis:  I haven't had anything to drink.
Jeremy!: Curtis, what's that in your hand?
Curtis:  It's mine.
Jeremy!: Show it to me.
Curtis:  No!
Jeremy!: Curtis!
Curtis:  No!
{They struggle over the pill bottle.}
Jeremy!: For God's sakes.  How stupid of you to try something like this.  
Sleeping pills?
Curtis:  I couldn't sleep.
Jeremy!: How many did you take?
Curtis:  I'm so tired.
Jeremy!: Oh, that's great.  First I have to draw and now this?  I don't 
need this today.  Curtis, I don't need this!
Curtis:  I'm sorry.
Jeremy!: How many did you take?
Curtis:  Four.
Jeremy!: Four.  Four?  You tried to kill yourself with four sleeping 
pills?  :-)))))
Curtis:  I had no problem killing Janie.  I killed Dinah Lee's baby.  I'm 
pathetic.   (Ed. note:  Ain't that the truth!)
Jeremy!: Did you drive here?
Curtis:  You're the only one I could trust.
Jeremy!: You're on your own.
Curtis:  Don't leave me like this!
Jeremy!: Curtis, what do you want me to do, take you to the hospital?
Curtis:  I'll be fine, I just need you to help me.
Jeremy!: Help you?
Curtis:  I just need to pull myself together.
Jeremy!: Then why did you come here?
Curtis:  I got scared.
Jeremy!: Curtis, I don't want to do this today.
Curtis:  Just stay with me, I don't want to be alone.  I'll be your friend 
forever.
Jeremy!: Curtis.
Curtis:  Anything you ask.  Anything at all.

Hospital - Angie's room

Angie:  Did the doctors tell you that Dinah Lee's condition might be permanent?
Trucker: Yes.
Angie:  I wish I could tell you different, but...
Trucker: I know.
Angie:  I will pray for her.
Trucker: Thanks.  She's so helpless right now, she's like a child.
Angie:  Don't treat her like one.  The key is to patient but not to condescend.
Trucker: I try to talk to her, but she doesn't understand me.
Angie:  I bet she understands how much you love her.
Trucker: I sure do.  I do with all my heart.  And, I know this sounds 
kind of selfish and all, but I want her back the way she was.
Angie:  Come here.
{Angie gives Trucker a big hug.}

Clay's bedroom

Ava:  Mmmmm, that was incredible.
Alex: Only incredible?
Ava:  Wonderfully incredible with a little touch of amazing.
Alex: Just a touch?
Ava:  What do you want, a medal?
Alex: Where would you pin it?
{They laugh}
Alex: Give me a kiss.
Ava:  I knew you would see it my way.
Alex: Ava, close your eyes.
Ava:  Why?
Alex: Humor me.  Close your eyes.  Do you love me?
Ava:  Yes.
Alex: When I hold you in my arms do you feel safe and secure?
Ava:  Yes.
Alex: When we just made love did you find anything lacking?
Ava:  No. <giggle>
Alex: So this bed, this room and the mansion and all the money it took to build
it had absolutely nothing to do with our lovemaking, right?
Ava:  No.
Alex: Honey, it's the love that makes us secure and safe.  It's what empowers
us.  It's what makes us happy.
Ava:  True, but a little money wouldn't hurt.
Alex: That's not true and I'll tell you why.  Money's a funny thing.  There's
never enough of it.  There's always somebody who's got more than you do.
The same with power.  It's a game, but you don't want to play because
you can never win because it never ends.  I love you so much, and I don't
want to lose you by playing.
Ava:  You won't lose me.  No matter how hard you try.
Alex: Be satisfied with us and what we have.
{They kiss.}
Alex: Come on, let's get out of this bed before Lenox catches us in it.  Let's
move this to our bed in our house.  Okay?
Ava:  Okay.
Alex: I'll be right back.
{Exit Alex.}
Ava gets out of bed and manages to bring the top sheet with her.  :-)  She
wanders around the bedroom looking at the "things".

Hunter & Wilder

{Jeremy! comes into the room with a cup of coffee.} 
Jeremy!: Drink this.  And three more after it.
Curtis:  Ugh!  Don't you have any sugar?
{Jeremy! throws him a sugar packet.}
Come on, come on!  Drink your coffee!
{Jeremy! lights up.}
Curtis:  I didn't know you smoked.
Jeremy!: I don't.  I mean I used to, I quit.  I started again.
Curtis:  Why?
Jeremy!: I don't know, stress I guess.  I've got two friends in the hospital, 
thanks to a certain somebody.
Curtis:  I'm sorry.
Jeremy!: Look, I'd appreciate your not telling anyone about this, it doesn't 
exactly suit my image.
Curtis:  I won't tell a soul.
{We see Gwyn walk by through the window.  Jeremy! hands the cigarette to
Curtis.}
Jeremy!: Take it!  Take it!
Gwyn:    I forgot...Curtis?  What are you doing smoking?
Curtis:  I used to smoke.  I jusht sharted again.  Shtresh I guess.
Gwyn:    When did you ever smoke?
Curtis:  High school.
Gwyn:    Are you drunk, you're slurring your words?
Jeremy!: He, had a few too many for breakfast.
Gwyn:    Curtis, we need to talk.
{Jeremy! stops Gwyn from talking to Curtis.}
Jeremy!: Let me talk to him first.  I'm a friend.
Gwyn:    Are you sure?
Jeremy!: I'm positive.  What are you doing here?
Gwyn:    I forgot the demographics report.
Jeremy!: Here they are.  Oh, and I don't think I'm going to be able to 
finish the sketches today.  Curtis.  Tell Vernon they'll be in his office 
first thing Monday morning.
Gwyn:    All right.  (To Curtis)  We are going to talk, later.  {Exit Gwyn.}
Curtis:  What did you tell her?
Jeremy!: Nothing.  And now, I'm going to take you to a doctor.
Curtis:  I don't want anyone to know.
Jeremy!: Curtis, you're an Alden.  Your name can buy anything, including 
silence.  We're going the hospital, go splash some water on your face 
before we head out.
Curtis:  Thanks.  I owe you.
{Curtis heads out.  Jeremy! takes his cigarette and inhales.}
Jeremy!: Yes, you do Curtis.  Don't you think I won't collect.  {evil laugh}
Oh, Jeremy, you don't know what you're missing.
