Marsha Russell introduces herself to Dr. Rossi.
WA: Less than an hour ago, Joe Rossi showed up at the home of
Marsha Russell and announced he was going to take out her
daughter, Carolyn. There had been no plans. No date of any
kind. Joe simply assumed that Carolyn would be interested.
But Carolyn must decide whether her feelings are honest or
whether she is spending time with Joe in order to hit back at
her mother.
Intro: On the wharf, near the boardinghouse and the Tavern, Joe gets
out of his brother's the red convertible, goes around and helps
Carolyn out, and they go aboard an excursion boat.
Scene 1: Carolyn and Joe walk toward the excursion boat. She walks up
the gangway. He follows. She points out the deck, the stern,
the bow, the cabins. Carolyn says, "All ashore who's going
ashore." Joe says that he is more interested in her. She says
that she prefers Tuckers' Point. He tries to kiss her. She
evades him. In the wheelhouse, he tries again to kiss her.
Joe tells her to close her eyes and pretend she is at Tuckers'
Point. She says, take me home.
Scene 2: Miss Choate is paged to pick up on line 22. In the hospital,
reception area, Marsha introduces herself to Dr. Rossi. She
has come in to ask to Dr. Rossi to keep his brother Joe away
from Carolyn. She complains that Joe is forcing himself on
Carolyn. Marsha says that Carolyn is sweet, innocent, and
attractive. Rossi says she seems ideal. Dr. Fielding is paged
to emergency. Dr. Rossi continue their chat.
The phone at the Information desk rings as Marsha is leaving.
Eli Carson asks Dr. Rossi to come over to the old Elliot Carson
house to help decide whether or not to rent the house to a lady
who will be coming over. Eli doesn't tell Rossi that the lady
is Marsha Russell.
Scene 3: Joe Rossi goes to visit Jill Smith in room 5 of Mrs. Hewitt's
boardinghouse. Joe has brought a toy panda bear for Kelly.
Jill doesn't want it. She tries to shut the door on Joe, but
he forces his way in. Jill says that Joe has to pay for her
mistake. Joe talks to Jill about the support payments.
Tom Winter shows up at the door. Tom tells Joe to take Kelly
and Jill's things down to his station wagon. Tom tells Joe
that Jill and Kelly will be staying with him for a while. Joe
asks Tom Winter if Susan knows yet.
Scene 4: Eli Carson greets Dr. Rossi at the Elliot Carson house. Rossi
learns that Marsha Russell is the prospective tenant. Marsha
wants a short term lease, just through the summer. She tells
them that she can't afford to spend what they are asking.
Marsha says that her husband won't be living there. Marsha
leaves.
Scene 5: Rodney picks up Betty and carries her into their house near the
Shoreline Garage. She says it is beautiful. She tells him
that he forgot to take the key out of the door lock. They go
up the stairs and discover the large poster of themselves on
the bed. There is a note with the poster from Norman and Rita.
Scene 6: Dr. Rossi comes home to the beach house and goes directly to
the refrigerator and gets a beer. Joe comes in and they talk.
He tells Joe that Marsha came over to the hospital. She does
not want Joe dating her daughter, Carolyn. She is concerned
