Episode 51:
Turquoise and David
June comes home with boxes from the Emporium. "Danny!", she calls into the other room. When there's no answer, she calls again.
"Danny!" Still no answer. "Daniel Nelson, come here please.", June says, firmly.
"What?", Danny says, once he comes.
"Mommy got you some new clothes.", June tells him.
"Did you get me the shirt with the doggy on there!", he asks, excitedly.
"I sure did.", June holds up a red long sleeved shirt, with a brown furry dog on it, wearing a red collar. "Do you want'a try it on?"
"No, it fits fine.", Danny says quickly, as he snatches the shirt away from her.
"I'm sure it does.", Dave says with a smirk and a shrug, once Danny leaves.
"I got you something as well.", June tells him, as she holds up a turquoise blue short sleeved, buttoned down shirt.
"Thanks. I'll go try it on."
"Well, how's it look?", David asks her, once he comes back out.
"Nice."
"Thanks." The doorbell rings and he answers it. "Miss Edwards, what brings you here?"
"Hi, Dave.", she greets him. "I wanted to bring you these papers on this law case we're working on."
"OK, thanks. I'll read them over."
"Would you like a cup of tea or something, Miss Edwards?", June asks her.
"No thanks. I need to get home. I like your shirt.", she tells Dave, noticing what he's wearing. "Turquoise is my favorite color."
"Thanks.", he says.
With that, she leaves.
Rick and Tracy are at the park.
"Do you want me to give you another push.", he asks her.
"No. I 'pay' on 'da' 'side', now."
"You want'a play on the slide now. Ok.", Rick says, as he lifts her out of the baby swing. "No, go up the ladder.", he tells her, referring to the slide. "Tracy.", he says firmly, once she disobeys.
"I not hurt 'mysef', Pop.", Tracy tells him, as she proceeds to go up the slide again.
Rick lifts her down. "OK, we're going home.", he tells her. Tracy starts crying. "What did Pop say?", Rick asks her, under his breath.
"Go up 'da' ladder.", she says through sobs.
"That's right. So, you don't get to play when you don't listen."
Tracy continues to cry, when Rick gets an idea. "We won't go home.", he tells her.
" 'Tanks', Pop.", she says, through a tear stained smile.
"Hold on.", he says, as he wipes her tears away, with the back of his hand. "We won't go home, but we will sit in the car for ten minutes."
That being said, Rick carries Tracy to the car, where he buckles her in her car seat.
Rick and Tracy come into the malt shop.
"I 'dust' want a 'nemon' 'mot', Pop."
"No. You can have a lemon malt, but you need to have some lunch, as well."
"But, I not hungy.", she says, in a whiny voice.
"Well, if Mommy finds out I gave you a malt and not lunch first, she is not gonna be happy with me.", Rick says, with emphasis.
"So, don't tell her.", Wally suggests, overhearing them as he comes in.
"Yeah.", Tracy agrees. "Don't tell her."
"There's an example I want'a set for my young daughter. Thanks, Wally." Rick says, sarcastically. "Pop will share his hamburger, Coke, and French fries with you, OK?", he tells Tracy.
"That sounds good. I'll have the same, Jack.", Wally tells him.
"Coming right up.", Jack replies.
"Danny says, 'dat's' 'cod' 'cupping'.", Tracy says.
"What's called cupping?", Rick asks her.
"When two 'tings' 'da' same."
"I think he meant copying.", he says, with a smirk. With that, he and Wally take their trays of food and go sit down at a booth.
Ozzie is sitting on the couch watching TV, when Harriet comes in the room. "You better hurry and get dressed.", she tells him. "The movie starts at 7:00 and we told Joe and Clara we'd meet them there."
"What movie are we seeing again?", Ozzie wonders, as he turns off the TV.
"The First Door to Success."
"Did Clara pick that one out?", he asks her.
"No, you did."
"Oh. Well, in that case. I probably won't sleep through it. I always sleep through a movie that Clara picks out."
"I know what you mean.", Harriet says. "Last time, I had to splash cold water on my face five times, just to stay awake."
"I actually fell asleep.", Ozzie says. "Then when I woke up, I had to give the excuse that I was up late the night before."
"I remember.", Harriet tells him. With that, she and Ozzie leave the house.
Dave comes home with a box from the Emporium. "Junie, I'm home!", he calls, as he comes in the front door.
"Hi.", she greets him. "I see you did some shopping.", she says, as she takes the box out of his hand.
"Well actually...", he begins.
June opens up the box, with a turquoise sundress inside. "It's beautiful.", she says, enthusiastically, as she holds it up. "I'll go try it on."
"I'm sorry, honey.", Dave tells her. "It's not for you. It's for Miss Edwards. "Her birthday's tomorrow."
"I see.", June says somberly, as she puts the dress back in the box.
"Is dinner ready? I'm starving."
"It's on the stove.", June tells him. "Danny, dinner!", she calls, into the other room.
"I want a taco.", Danny says, enthusiastically.
"They're bean burritos.", David tells him. "Go get in your chair and Pop will bring you one."
That being said, Dave, June, and Danny sit down to dinner.
Dave and June are resting in bed, when June falls into a dream.
June's Dream
Miss Edwards comes into the office of Dobson and Kelley.
"Surprise!", everyone yells.
"Happy Birthday, Connie.", David says, enthusiastically.
"Thanks.", she says. "You sure got alot of turquoise things here. Turquoise balloons, turquoise streamers, a turquoise, 'Happy Birthday Connie', banner."
"I remember you said it was your favorite color. I even have, Happy Birthday Connie, written in turquoise on the cake.", he tells her, as he shows her the chocolate cake, with the writing on it.
"Hey, Connie. Do you want'a open presents now?"
"Good idea, Mr. Kelley.", Dave says. "Open mine first, Connie.", he says, as he hands her the box.
"Thanks, Dave.", she says, enthusiastically, once she opens it.
"Sure. June thought it was for her. And get this. She even wanted to try it on."
That being said, both David and Miss Edwards go into hysterical laughter.
"Come on, you guys, it's not funny.", June says, exasperatingly, as she lays in bed.
"What's not funny?", David inquires.
"You and Miss Edwards were laughing at me, because I thought the turquoise sundress was for me.", June explains.
"Oh. It was only a dream. I didn't really laugh at you when you thought that. Did I?"
"I guess not."
"You doubt Miss Edwards would too, right? I'm not even gonna tell her."
"How about you don't even give it to her.", June suggests.
"What's this?", he asks, confused.
"Give me the dress instead. Then tomorrow, we'll go shopping at the Emporium and pick something out for her."
"OK, but..."
"Yes, it'll be something turquoise.", she tells him, as if she read his thoughts.
"How did you know what I was gonna ask?"
"Just a feeling. Now, I feel like going back to sleep."
"OK. Good night, sweetheart.", David says, as he gives her a peck on the lips. "And, please. Don't have anymore ridiculous dreams."
"I won't.", June says, with a chuckle. With that, she and Dave, go back to sleep.
Dave, June, and Danny are walking down the aisle at the Emporium.
"Hi, Kris.", June greets her. "Are you buying something as well?"
"Yes and no.", Kris tells her. "Rick claims these shoes hurt his feet. So I'm exchanging them for another pair."
"Where's Tracy?", Danny asks.
"She's at home with Uncle Rick. They were watching Jetsons when I left."
"She can watch it at my house.", he suggests.
"Sounds like somebody misses his cousin.", Dave says, with a chuckle. "We need to have Tracy come over and play soon, don't we?", he asks, as he picks him up.
"Yeah. Today?"
"No, we can't do it today."
"But my room's clean.", Danny says, in a whiny voice. "And I have new legos."
"Well, Tracy has new bubble bath.", Kris tells him. "I'll tell her I saw you. And that you were asking about her. Bye, guys." That being said, she leaves.
After more browsing, David came across a present for Miss Edwards. A set of turquoise blue pot holders. After having them checked out, Dave, June, and Danny leave.
