Going To Wyoming/Hiding The Keys---July 1993

Scene 1

Roger pops a champagne cork and Jenna laughs.

Roger: [laughs] The pop of a champagne cork! What a lovely sound. What a happy sound, isn't it?

Jenna: Oh, yes.

Roger: Promises of things to come. Celebration.

Jenna: That's what I want our lives to be, a celebration.

Roger: [takes a sip] And we're going to start right now. In fact, I think we have started. The jet is fueled and ready and all I need do is shower, throw some things in a bag and we are going to hit the friendly skies.

Jenna: [sighs] A spa. Spa. [drops her head to his shoulder]

Roger: Not just any old spa, honey bunch. This is water coursing from the very heart of the Rockies. I'm talking it's very soul.

Jenna: The Rockies?

Roger: Bubbling pools of healing mud. You know, I think I used to be an author of traveling brochures in another life.

Jenna: But Canyon Springs--I thought that was in California.

Roger: And you were right, my dear--my pet. But they've opened a new one just for us.

Jenna: [laughs] Oh, good. In the Rockies--whereabouts in the Rockies are they? [takes a drink]

Roger: A little town in Wyoming.

Jenna leans over trying not to spit out her champagne, but chokes and coughs.

Roger: Are you alright?

Jenna: I'm fine. I'm fine. It just went down the wrong way.

Roger: I guess it did. Well, listen...

Jenna: Whoo! [pats her chest]

Roger: Before some more goes down the wrong way, let's get this show on the road! [leaves the room]

Jenna shifts the rest of her champagne, puts her hand on her forehead and walks to the other room, but she stops when she hears Buzz coming.

Buzz: [at the doorway; french accent] Care to go for a spin, Petula? [laughs]

Buzz dangles in the keys and Jenna chases him out the door and through the hallway.

Jenna: Give me those. Give me the keys.

[By the way, you can tell when Fiona Hutchison runs past the camera before the opening song, that she is laughing and having a good time with Justin Deas in this scene]

Scene 2

Buzz leans on the Excalibur as if he'd been waiting there forever. Jenna comes running in.

Jenna: What do you think you're doing?

Buzz: [British accent] Oh, not to worry. I wouldn't put a ding in your bonnet.

Jenna: [holds out her hand] Give me the keys.

Buzz: Honey, you better get in shape. Surely a woman your age can afford a trainer.

Jenna: Who let you in here? Ginger, I'm going to kill her.

Buzz: A good busboy never reveals his sources.

Jenna: GINGER!

Ginger comes out of nowhere and is startled by Jenna's forceful yell.

Ginger: Hi--mistress.

Jenna: [pointing her finger at Ginger] Don't mistress me, you traitorous pig!

Ginger: Me?

Buzz laughs.

Jenna: I told you--I gave you a list [points her finger at Buzz] and he was on top of it.

Buzz: I was on top?

Jenna: I said you were to never let him in here.

Buzz walked to the other side of the car.

Ginger: He was delivering your car.

Jenna: Do you know what "never" means?

Ginger: Well...

Jenna: IT MEANS "NEVER," YOU IDIOT!

Ginger: [to Buzz] You live and learn, huh?

Jenna: If I let you live.

Buzz: [in another accent] Off with her head! Sharpen the queen's axe and summon the royal chopper!

Ginger laughs.

Jenna: OUT!

Ginger: [still laughing] He's funny.

Jenna: OUT!

Ginger, still laughing, leaves.

Buzz: Aww, don't take it out on Ginger.

Jenna: I would take it out on you, but you would enjoy it too much!

Buzz: [British accent] By jove, I think she's got it!

Jenna: Give me the keys and then leave.

Buzz: [walking around the car] One of a kind.

Jenna: Buzz, the keys.

Buzz: [gets to where he has a good view of Jenna's back end] A work of art.

Jenna: Don't push it. [put her right hand on her hip]

Buzz: [puts his hand on her butt] Not a scratch on it.

Jenna: [whipped around and faced him] Your check cleared, didn't it?

Buzz: With room to spare.

Jenna: Are you going to keep your end of the bargain?

Buzz: You don't actually think I'd renege on my deal, do you?

Jenna: [stressed] Buzz, give me the keys, please.

Buzz: Not so much of a fare-thee-well?

Jenna: [whispering voice] Give them to me.

Buzz: [mocks her] Give them to me.

Jenna: And don't come back.

Buzz: I think you're making a big mistake, Petula.

Roger: [in the doorway of the garage] No, Buzz. I think you are making a big mistake.

[NOTE: The money that Buzz got from Jenna, through blackmail, was to pay for Marina's surgery. Marina was born deaf]

Scene 3

Roger: So, Buzz, want to tell me what the hell you're doing here?

Buzz: Well, not really, but if you must know, I was doing a service for Miss Bradshaw.

Roger: A service?

Jenna: The car.

Roger: The car.

Buzz: I'll make it unanimous. The car.

Jenna: Yes--he was the mechanic.

Roger: Buzz?

Buzz: Yeah, I was working on her cylinders.

Jenna: And he just returned it.

Buzz: Purring like a kitten.

Roger: [gets out wallet] Pleased to hear it. For your trouble. [holds out money]

Buzz: Hey, no trouble. My pleasure. She paid me--handsomely.

Roger: [puts it in Buzz's shirt pocket] Buy yourself some new tee- shirts.

Buzz: You're right. Go easy on her. [walks out; stops] She looks shiny on the surface, but underneath I found some rot. [they both turn their heads and look at Buzz] I meant the car. [laughs]

Buzz leaves.

Jenna: Well, now we have a car. Shall me take it for a spin?

Scene 4

Roger is fixing his tie in front of the mirror. Jenna walks in.

Jenna: I'm so glad I didn't get rid of all your ties. You have such marvelous taste in clothes. You know, most men would just throw on a poky-dotted tie and have done with it, but you...

Roger: Why didn't you tell me about Buzz?

Jenna: What about him?

Roger: You said you had a mechanic looking at your car, you didn't tell me his name was Buzz. Why was that?

Jenna: Because it wasn't--I'm mean not in the beginning. There was a mechanic in the beginning and he had a problem with the old engine and told me so and then I remembered that somebody said that Mr. Cooper was quite good with old engines.

Roger: You remembered that, did you?

Jenna: Yes--yes, and I also heard that Mr. Cooper has been down on his luck lately, so I threw him the work. [smiles]

Roger: You threw and he caught.

Jenna: Yeah. Yeah. I helped him out.

Roger: I disowned my son because I was convinced that he was lying about you and Buzz. Was I wrong?

Jenna: Do you really have to ask that question? After what you heard in the garage?

Roger: Oh, I heard.

Jenna: Wasn't it clear how I felt about that man? And how the hostilness that was coming back from him towards me. We're hardly buddies. Roger, this is silly. [hugs him] What do I have to do to convince you? I've given you half of Spaulding. I've given you half of everything I own. I've offered to have your heir. (*gag*) What do I have to do to prove myself to you?

Roger: It's not about proof.

Jenna: In heavens name, what do I have to say to convince you that you are the only man in the entire world that means anything to me?

Roger: You don't have to say anything. You're right. I'm sorry. Jenna, if I can't trust you, who am I going to trust?

Scene 5

Roger is putting luggage in the Excalibur.

Jenna: Roger, are you sure you don't want Ronnie to drive us?

Roger: Are you kidding? Pass up a chance to tour this baby through town on the way to the airport. No way. [gets in]

Jenna: Ok.

Roger: Alright.

Jenna: Start her up.

Roger: We're off. [turns the key]

Jenna laughs and feels the front rim of the car with her fingers.

Roger: Nothing.

Jenna: What? What's wrong with it?

Roger: What's wrong with it? It's stone cold dead. That's what's wrong with it.

[Greek music plays, as the scene ends with Jenna realizing what Buzz did and the next scene is Buzz at the diner where everyone is happy because Marina can now have her surgery]
