"ANNOUNCER:" "In the last episode of Soap," "Carol told Jodie she wanted to see the baby, and after seeing the baby, she told Jodie she wanted the baby and would take him to court for custody." "The doctor told Mary that she's pregnant, and then he told Burt that he was going to die." "Although Mary told Burt she's pregnant," "Burt didn't tell Mary he's going to die, but he did tell Danny, and then the doctor told Burt he had made a mistake and told him he wasn't going to die after all." "Mary, who's happy she's pregnant, is worried the baby might be an alien, something she hasn't told Burt." "Danny and Polly told each other they loved each other, and then they told a real estate broker they wanted a house." "The real estate broker told them he had a nice house, but there was no telling how nice the neighbors would be." "Chester told Jessica he was in love with the minister's daughter, and Jessica threw him out of the house and told him never to come back." "Then Jessica got depressed and went to a psychiatrist, who told her she was perfectly normal and that he wanted to date her." "Meanwhile, the minister's daughter told Chester he was too old, and she left him." "Billy told Jessica he was getting tired of Leslie, and Dutch told Eunice he knew she was cheating, and Eunice told Dutch she wouldn't do it again, then Dutch found a note telling him that Eunice had run away with another man." "Dutch told Corinne, and Corinne told Dutch he was still welcome in the house." "One thing led to another and Dutch and Corinne wound up in bed together, so there's no telling what will happen." "Confused?" "You won't be after this episode of..." "Soap." "This is story of two sisters," "Jessica Tate... and Mary Campbell." "These are the Tates." "And these are the Campbells." "And this is..." "Soap." "What did you say?" "What did I just hear you say?" "Go on, say it..." "Go on, say it to my face." "Come on, you chicken-livered, yellow-bellied... person." "Go on, I dare you to say it again." "Go ahead." "I thought that's what you said." "You get out of town while the getting's good, while you still got legs to walk on." "Hey, Burt, can I play?" "I'm not playing, Danny." "I'm practicing." "For what?" "Remember when I thought I was dying?" "Yeah." "Well, I realized then that I'd always had a really kind of selfish life." "I never really helped my fellow man, and now that I'm gonna live, Danny," "I'm gonna change all that." "I'm gonna make good on it." "Dan..." "I'm gonna run for sheriff." "You are?" "Burt, that's great!" "Wow." "Hey!" "Can I be your deputy?" "Let me be your deputy, Burt." "I'd be a great deputy." "Come on, let me be your deputy, Burt." "Please." "Please." "Danny, a deputy's gotta be trained." "In what?" "He's gotta be a cop." "I need a real cop." "I'll be one." "I'll go to cop school." "Oh, Burt, please, please." "Danny, I haven't been elected yet." "Oh, you'll get elected." "People hate Sheriff Prentice." "They spit on his car." "Prentice." "Prentice." "He's bad." "He's a bad, corrupt man." "He's been bad for Dunn's River, and we need to clean up this town, and I intend to do it." "Let's practice." "You be a speeding driver." "I'll catch you." "If I was a speeding driver, you'd never catch me." "Pretend, Dan." "I'm gonna pretend to be a killer." "A speeding driver who kills people." "All right, Danny, please." "Let's go." "Come on." "All right." "Now, you're tooling down the highway, and I'm coming up from behind you, and I'll stop you." "Ready?" "[BOTH MAKING ENGINE NOISES]" "[MAKING SIREN NOISE]" "Pull over!" "[MAKING ENGINE AND SIREN NOISES]" "Damn." "[MAKING SCREECHING TIRE NOISES]" "[MUTTERING]" "Now I'm gonna approach the car." "Now, you gotta do this very carefully because, you know, more cops get killed approaching cars then anywhere else." "I mean, you gotta approach it very carefully in case the guy is armed." "The important thing here, to be a moving target." "What's the rush, big guy?" "Let me give you my license, officer." "[MAKING SHOOTING NOISES]" "Hey!" "Got you." "I got you first." "You did not." "You winged me." "What do you mean, winged you?" "I killed you." "I got you in the head." "I got you in the heart!" "You did not!" "I did too!" "Boys!" "Boys, if you cannot play nicely, you'll have to play outside." "Ma, he's gonna be sheriff." "Burt's gonna be sheriff, and I'm gonna be the deputy." "After dinner." "I don't think it's gonna happen that fast." "Mare." "Mare, what Danny's trying to say is..." "You ready for this?" "[CHUCKLES WEAKLY]" "I've decided to run for sheriff." "Hello." "Sheriff, are you crazy?" "What if you win?" "Do you know how dangerous that is?" "You just got over almost dying." "You want to try again?" "Well, maybe this time, he'll get it right." "This time..." "No, no, Mare, listen to me." "Mare, Mare, I'm talking about..." "I wanna contribute to the world." "I wanna help my fellow man." "I wanna clean up this town." "This is not Dodge City, Burt." "You want to clean something up, clean up the garage." "Boy, I love that." ""Clean up this town."" "You're starting to sound like a sheriff already." "Hey, listen, can I be your deputy?" "Come on, let me be your deputy, huh, Burt?" "Hang on." "No." "I'm gonna be the deputy." "Oh, come on, Burt, I'd be a natural." "It's in my genes." "My uncle was a nightstick." "Burt, you're not seriously going to do this." "Yeah, Mare, what's the matter?" "There's nothing to worry about." "Nothing to worry to about?" "What if you get killed?" "Mare, I'm not gonna get killed." "Okay." "Okay, what experience have you had?" "What do you know about being a sheriff?" "I know everything I need to know." "Mary, I got reflexes." "Reflexes, guts, and a will of iron." "Yeah." "Mom, he'll make a great sheriff." "Look how good he looks." "BURT:" "Yeah, come on, please." "All right, just let me show you my reflexes." "I got the reflexes of a snake." "Here." "Danny, this is a knife." "We're going to pretend this is a knife." "Now, Danny's gonna play a mad, psychotic, sick, demented killer." "[SNARLING]" "He's going to come at me with a knife," "I will disarm him, and I will apprehend him." "Please watch." "[ROARS]" "[BURT SHRIEKING]" "Hi." "Mm!" "[MUFFLED] There you are." "Where have you been?" "Jessica, you'll swallow the cotton." "Mm?" "Oh..." "Oh, Mary, I waited and waited for you." "I had to go to the obstetrician." "I didn't want to come in here without you." "I hid in the ladies' room, and that pushy dental hygienist came in and found me." "Did you have novocaine?" "Yeah." "You?" "[SIGHS]" "I asked to be put to sleep, but he refused to do that for just a cleaning." "What did the baby doctor say?" "Everything seems to be just fine." "Oh, you see?" "Jessica, I could still give birth to an alien." "There's no way of telling now." "Have you told Burt yet?" "No." "Well, maybe he'll never know." "If the baby comes out silver, he'll know." "Probably." "What's happening with you and that psychiatrist?" "Oh, he's very nice, Mary." "He is very, very nice." "Have you slept with him?" "Oh, no." "I'd be afraid to." "Why?" "Well, because, Mary, he's a psychiatrist." "He's gotta be the greatest lover in the world." "They know everything about sex." "They're the ones that write those books." "So, you see," "I cannot sleep with him until I'm sure that I can do it absolutely perfectly." "There is no absolutely perfectly." "Well, there's very good." "So I won't do it until I know that I'm very good." "Of course, I don't know how in the world" "I'm going to get in any practice." "Oh, Jessica, I'm sure you're very good." "I don't know." "I mean, how can you tell?" "With tennis," "I can look at Chris Evert, and I know I'm not, but this..." "I'm beginning to get a little numb." "Mm..." "Me too." "Mary... uh, did you ever...?" "I don't know how to put this." "You know, sometimes when you're at a party, and you're having an awful time, and you dance and laugh like you're having a lot of fun." "Do you ever do that in bed?" "Dance and laugh?" "No." "You mean fake it?" "Shh!" "Is that what you mean?" "Did I ever fake it?" "Yes." "Did you?" "Maybe once." "Oh." "You?" "Maybe once." "The only time I do it is when I'm tired, and I just want to get him to stop." "Well, once in a while," "I have simply because I couldn't and I didn't want him to think he was bad." "Of course that made it more difficult later on when he continued to do what he thought had worked so well before." "Could I have a drink of water?" "Oh, yeah." "Sure." "Here." "[GIGGLING]" "Oh, God." "Look what I've done." "I have no feeling in my face." "Oh, Mary, that's very funny." "Look at you." "You're crooked." "You're laughing crooked." "Don't make me laugh." "Your mouth is going downhill." "Here, I'll get us some towels." "I just love these gadgets." "Look at this." "I can see one nostril." "I like the drill that squirts water." "I hate the drill." "I hate this place." "I'm leaving." "My teeth are fine." "Jessica..." "No, he'll make me spit in the bowl, Mary, and I can't spit in the bowl." "It's so rude, and the one time I tried to spit in the bowl," "I missed it, and I spit on his leg." "Goodbye, Mary." "Jessica, come on, now." "You have been doing this since we were children." "It'll be okay." "Really." "I'll hold your hand." "Come on." "Okay, Mrs. Campbell, we're ready for you." "Oh, God." "No." "Oh, Mary." "I can't." "Of course you can, Mary." "Come on, it's gonna be easy." "Come on, I'll stay with you, and I'll hold your hand, and I'll..." "I'll sing to you, Mary." "You promise?" "I promise." "And that's the whole story, Mr. Mallu." "She came back for the baby, and I came to you because you're the best." "I'm really up a tree." "Yup." "Well, what do you suggest?" "Build a tree house." "Excuse me?" "Look, I've had it with your family." "I've never met such a bunch of lunatics in my life." "Hey, wait a minute." "And the thing of it is, they're all specialized lunatics." "One guy plays with dolls." "Another guy thinks he's invisible." "The old man is..." "somewhere in the South Pacific." "Plus, I fell in love with your Aunt Jessica." "Jessica, Jessica." "My God, how is she?" "I take it you're not gonna help me." "The Lone Ranger couldn't help you." "Well, I'm sorry to take up so much of your time." "How is she?" "Who?" "Your Aunt Jessica." "Are you gonna take the case or not?" "She's the most beautiful, exciting woman I've ever met." "Mr. Mallu!" "I can't take the case." "I don't do custody cases." "The father rarely wins." "I don't like to lose." "My father said to me once, "Hey, Ronald," he said," ""Winning isn't everything, but losing sucks."" "Mr. Mallu, this is not about winning or losing." "This is about the fate of one child." "That's good stuff." "Your Honor, this case isn't about winning or losing." "It's about the fate of one small child." "I stuck in "small." It gives it more impact." "Good stuff." "See, I'm a good father, and she's a lousy mother." "Doesn't matter." "She's the mother." "You'll be laughed out of court." "But that's my daughter!" "You're a homosexual!" "You're a coward!" "What?" "A lawyer is somebody who protects and defends people." "The only thing you're interested in protecting is yourself." "I need a lawyer, Mr. Mallu." "Good day." "It isn't gonna be easy." "Does this mean you change your mind?" "Is there a law against that?" "There are a few things I have to know." "Shoot." "Tell me, is her hair still as red as the Acapulco sunset?" "Who?" "Forget it." "Better I don't know." "Is it?" "Mr. Mallu!" "No, cancel it." "Never mind." "We have to find a way to discredit the child's mother." "That won't be easy." "Mr. Dallas, please." "I've been discrediting people since before you were born." "All we have to do is show that the woman associated herself with nefarious characters." "Who was her last employer?" "You were." "Carol David?" "My former assistant?" "That's her." "This is a spider web of intrigue." "Twisted plots." "High drama." "We'll get the movie rights." "Alan Alda can play me." "Okay, okay." "Let's see what we've got here." "You are a, ahem, homosexual." "And as I remember, you once tried to commit suicide." "Does anyone know that?" "Carol." "Swell." "It was right before my sex-change operation..." "You used to be a woman?" "No, no, no." "I didn't do it." "Too bad." "Two mothers fighting over the same child?" "Talk about a movie." "Okay, okay." "Let me wade through this and see what I come up with." "If I need any more information, I'll get in touch." "You really think we have a chance?" "If there's a crack in the plaster, we'll knock down the wall." "I'll be in touch." "One more thing." "Yeah?" "Does she ever... talk about me?" "Carol?" "Jessica." "Mr. Mallu!" "Forget it." "Never mind." "I'll call you later." "Thanks, Mr. Mallu." "I really appreciate this." "This is the most important thing in my life." "Wanda, call my fiancée and cancel my marriage." "Corinne, which scarf do you think looks the best?" "Well, I don't know." "Oh, they both look bad." "Oh, Ma, you look lovely." "Oh, Corinne, my psychiatrist is coming to dinner, and I look like an organ grinder." "Hi." "Hi." "You look nice." "I do?" "Yeah." "Oh." "Oh, here, taste the sauce for the duck." "How is it?" "Mmm, it's wonderful." "It stinks." "It's them apricots." "One apricot too many, and the whole sauce is down the soup." "[DOORBELL RINGS]" "Oh, dear." "Oh, that's him." "That's him." "Oh..." "Oh, dear God, please let everyone behave tonight." "Hi." "Hi." "Come in." "This is Corinne." "Hi." "Hi." "And this is Dutch." "Hi." "The sauce just bit the big one." "Fine." "Corinne is my daughter." "I know." "And Dutch is, uh... our friend." "But don't get the wrong idea." "Yeah, the other night, that didn't mean nothing." "He's right." "Yeah, that wasn't just wanton sex." "Excuse me." "I gotta go baste my duck." "Do you feel that they're being foolish?" "Jessica, I don't have the faintest idea what they're talking about." "Thank you for your discretion." "[DOORBELL RINGS]" "Yes?" "Excuse me." "I'm the maitre d' of the Tokyo Gardens." "Is Mrs. Tate in?" "Why, yes." "Mr. Teshamado, please come in." "Come in." "What a surprise to see you." "Mrs. Tate, I hate to be a bother, but I'm afraid he's at it again." "Oh, dear." "This time, he took them all at once." "The dishes are piling up." "The place is in total chaos." "Oh, I am so sorry, Mr. Teshamado." "Oh, Daddy!" "Mr. Teshamado is here." "[MUTTERING]" "Well, general, I've got to hand it to you." "They didn't tell me a thing." "I shall expect a release of the same number of my officers by 0600." "Carry on." "My father." "I guessed." "[DOORBELL RINGS]" "Oh, dear." "Sayonara and tempura." "Burt..." "Hey, Jess, what do you think?" "Huh?" "I knew you'd love it." "It's like this." "I got a whole assortment here." "What do you see?" "Hold the presses." "Take your pick." "Take a gamble, vote for Campbell." "Huh?" "Wait a minute, this is even better." "I got more here." "Look at this one." "Graft is dirty, vote for Burty." "Huh?" "What do you think?" "Hi, stranger." "My name is Burt Campbell." "I'd never lie to you." "I know I can count on your vote." "That's it." "Wait a minute." "This is my most favorite one of all." "This is the one." "Vote for Burt." "Doesn't rhyme, but I think it sort of says it all." "I think the outfit sort of says it all." "Oh, I like you, stranger." "Here, be my guest." "Corinne, here." "Jess." "I'm on the trail." "Leslie." "Leslie?" "Leslie." "Leslie, the teacher." "Magna Carta." "Louisiana Purchase." "How you doing?" "Fine." "Oh, here." "Here's something for your bumpers." "Excuse me, I gotta go." "My brother-in-law." "Is Billy home?" "No, dear, I'm afraid he isn't." "[CRYING] Oh." "It's Billy's teacher." "She's a little upset because he's not home." "She must get hysterical when he's late for class." "He's left me." "I just know it." "Uh..." "Oh, Leslie, why don't you just go upstairs and freshen up, dear, and then you can join us later for dinner." "Oh, thank you." "Jessica, is it always like this?" "Always like what?" "I think I should set up an office here." "[DOORBELL RINGS]" "Daddy..." "I'm back, Jess." "Oh, God." "I'm back." "Chester..." "Before you say a word, Jess," "I would like you to know I've strayed, but I am back, Jess." "I left her." "I had to leave her." "Broke her heart." "She pleaded with me, offered me money, new clothes, but I pushed her aside, Jess." "In short, I'm home." "[CLEARS THROAT]" "Chester, this is Alan Posner." "Dr. Alan Posner." "Ah..." "He's my date." "But I live here." "Not anymore." "Does he?" "Not yet." "Chester, I told you never to come here again." "But I'm all right now, Jess." "Really, you know the problem that I had with... cheating." "Well, I went to a clinic, and they told me it was a simple allergic reaction." "Bull." "Bull?" "Bull, and this man, Chester, is a psychiatrist." "Now, I want you to leave." "You don't belong here anymore." "Very well, Jess." "I'll go... if you wish." "I'm going to get you back, Jess." "I love you, and I'm going to win you back." "Hope you like a good fight, my man, because I'm going to fight, and I am going to win." "Oh, Jess!" "Please take me back!" "Chester, get up." "Get up." "All right." "All right, I'll leave, but I shall return." "I shall return." "MAJOR:" "Is MacArthur here?" "Dinner is served." "You must think we're crazy." "Oh, don't be silly." "You mean you don't think we're crazy?" "No." "Eccentric maybe, but crazy, no." "Jessica, if there is anyone crazy in this house, it's me." "You?" "I've only known you for a short amount of time, Jessica, and I think I'm in love with you." "Now, that's really crazy." "I have been enamored of you for quite some time." "But out of respect, I've admired you from afar." "Oh..." "But what you've done with our boys, wonderful." "Can you believe this?" "Dinner with Eleanor Roosevelt."
