The camera closes in on Maddie's bed, with the typically slow, melancholy, Moonlighting music. It is the middle of the night and Maddie is sleeping. She is tossing and turning and her face is contorted as if she's having a nightmare. She is.
She hears the song "Baby Love" by The Supremes in her dream. She realizes that in her dream, she is a spectator at her baby shower. She watches herself dancing with David; the two of them are deliriously happy. Then everything begins to become hazy. She hears herself yell for David. Suddenly, she sees another David. The second David is angry and is looking at her with an angry glare. He says to her, "It's all your fault Maddie. I will never forget this. I will never forgive you. I hate you Maddie Hayes. I may not say it, but I truly hate you." He speaks with a monotone, callous tone. He walks away from her and she chases him, while the other Maddie and David are go into the ambulance. She turns him around and says, "But it wasn't your baby, David." David looks at her with tears in his eyes and says, "You'll never get it, will you?" She yells back at him with tears in her voice..."Don't you believe in me David? You used to believe in me..." He walks away and she continues to chase him, but loses him in the crowd. She is suddenly in the ambulance yelling for David. She screams and screams, as if she is being stabbed... she wakes up screaming his name, disoriented and looking next to her, expecting to see someone. But no one is there. She runs to her desk and pulls out a calendar. Then she begins to sob, while sitting at her vanity.
The next day at the office, David walks in cheerful and ready to torture Maddie about her singing. He is wearing Raybans and singing the song "Unforgettable," which Maddie sang the night before. He walks towards Maddie's office, but as he walking...
A= Mr. Addison, I wouldn't do that today if I were you.
D= Please, Agnes, no one's gonna get hurt. A little banter, a few things thrown, a few "Fine, fine, good, goods." Just the usual. You don't think I could witness the spectacle I witnessed last night and not give Old Miss Hayes a little hell over it. She can't get away with keeping secrets from me!
Agnes motions with her hand for David to come over.
A= Mr. Addison... I should tell you... I could be wrong, but Miss Hayes doesn't seem like herself today. I thought she would come in happy, you know, and ready to... I guess argue with you. But when I came in, she didn't... she didn't mention last night... or you... or Mr. Klein. And I'm not sure, but when I looked real close... there were tears in her eyes... maybe old tears, as if she'd been crying.
David looks confused and tries to make sense of it in his head.
D= Crying? She certainly didn't look like she was sad about anything when she was giving your husband a lap dance last night.
Agnes smiles and starts to giggle, mostly at how David can't hide his jealousy.
A= Mr. Addison, between you and me... that was planned.
David knew that all along, but it's nice to hear her say that. He instantly understands, but he still seems to be torn about something.
D= Miss DiPesto... I mean, Mrs. Viola. Do you have Paul's phone number?
A= Sure, I'll get him for you... but why?
D= Just put him through.
In David's office...
D= Little Paulie Klein... yeah, long time, no speak... don't ask me how I am, I hear you're dating my business partner... yes, I am aware that she's good-looking... listen, Buddy, not to scare you off, but you can have her... yeah, I am dating Sharon again... things are great, great... actually, I wanted to know if you can get away from the club for a bit... yes, I know about your club... well, don't tell Maddie, but I've known for a bit... I'm a detective now, I know everything... anyway, I wanted you to come by the office to maybe surprise Maddie and maybe take her out to lunch. My secretary says she's a little under the weather... well, no, I never seem to know what to say to her... chances are, I'll only make her feel worse... you know me, always my foot in my mouth... so, come by... yeah... see ya, buddy!
David hangs up the phone and thinks.... He talks out loud.
D= I'm not going in there. If something's bothering her, she has to come in here and talk about it. I remember the last time I thought she needed a friend to talk to and we're not going through that again. I can't be the one to pursue every meaningful conversation with her.
Just then, he hears a knock on the door... It's Maddie.
M= Hey.
David looks at her suspiciously. He tries to search her eyes without being obvious.
D= Hey.
M= Just when I think I have you pegged... I thought for sure you would come into my office and bother me about last night... getting rusty in your old age.
D= I was getting to that.
M= Oh... what did you think? Were you surprised?
D= That's one way to put it...
Maddie gives a low sigh, and seems happy and sad at the same time.
David can't help but notice that Maddie is trying to open up about something, but can't find the words. But he offers no help. "She'll tell me when she's ready to tell me... if she wants me to know, " he thinks. There's a soft awkwardness in the air.
M= Well... how was I?
D= You were... you were... I can't seem to find the right word. Oh yeah... you were good.
Maddie isn't really hurt by this, but still curious.
M= Oh... thanks. I sometimes think I'm making a fool of myself... that's the only reason I hadn't told you yet. You're not mad, are you?
D= Not at all.
M= Good... and David...
David thinks that she will finally say something meaningful.
M= You understand why I had reservations about telling you about Paul... don't you?
David wasn't sure until then that Maddie knew that he also knew about Paul. Her nonchalance causes him to become a little angry.
D= Actually, no. But it's no surprise.
M= What is that supposed to mean?
D= It means... that you tell me things when you're ready to tell me things and not when you think I should know, or deserve to know...
Maddie doesn't retort with her usual aggressiveness, but the sort of "matter-of-factness" she exhibited in "blonde on blonde."
M= Deserve to know? What does that mean? Don't I have the right to a little privacy...?
David gets up from his chair and interrupts her.
D= Don't start with me, Maddie... I know that you don't understand that there are things you should or could tell me. For no good reason, but just because I am a friend. I do realize that you like to tell me after the fact... there's something in your head that always finds a reason not to be honest with me... it's too complicated, I wouldn't understand... you always find a reason to keep things from me. Go to Chicago, get pregnant, take a second job at a nightclub that my old friend owns, and oh, one more thing... start dating him for weeks and don't tell me! And no matter what, there's always a little part of me that comes to this office every day, and isn't sure you'll be here...
Maddie is noticeably hurt and appears tired from the fight.
M= I just didn't tell you because I didn't know if it meant anything... and if it ended up not to mean anything, it wouldn't have been worth it to tell you.
David looks at her with bitter indifference.
D= As always, thank you.
Without warning, Maddie breaks down and sobs. She cries in a way that he has never seen... even after she lost the baby, she tried to hold back the tears. It doesn't seem to be all sadness or even all frustration, but a combination of both. This has never happened before and David freezes. Maddie begins to drop towards the floor, as if she is losing her balance. Her eyes are spacey. David tries to catch her, but Maddie falls to her knees anyway. David bends down on the floor and grabs her arms, but Maddie is not looking at him. The sight is very strange for David... he thinks she may be sick. He tries to hug her, but she seems too despondent. He speaks to her softly, but with desperation...
D= Madd-... tell me... please tell me... I don't know...
She looks up and grabs him tightly and hugs him.
M= I can't... not because of you... it's just.... Something... something hard...
For a few moments she holds onto him, but not as if she's hugging or embracing him, but almost as if she thinks she'll fall through the floor.
Maddie then changes and realizes where she is what she is doing. She tries to pull herself together...
D= Maddie, why don't you go home today?
M= No... I need to work today... work through this...
D= Well... maybe you should take a nap in your office or something... let me get you tissues....
He runs to the bathroom and gets tissues. He gives them to her and with complete concern in his eyes, he says...
D= You know what? Nap in here... I'll use your office. You don't want to go out there like that.
He doesn't seem to really be asking her, but more like telling her. As he is talking, he is pulling her onto the couch and putting her there. He covers her with a blanket that he gets from the closet and then closes the blinds. Without another word, he walks out to the office.
He speaks to the staff firmly, commanding their attention.
D= Everyone... Miss Hayes is in my office taking a nap... she is not feeling too well... I don't want her disturbed. Anything you need to ask her, tell me... I'll be in her office.
David walks into Maddie's office. It appears as if he suddenly remembers something. He picks up the phone.
D= Agnes, get me Paul again.
D= Yeah, hey Paulie... no, she's fine. She might have the flu or something. She's just resting. I told her to go home, but she wants to stick it out... I know... yeah, you know Maddie. Anyway, I don't think it's such a good idea to surprise her... we'll think of something... maybe... I'll call you if I think she needs a ride home. Okay... later.
He hangs up the phone and says, "Damn it Maddie, you better not be pregnant again."
Later that afternoon, Sharon comes by to visit. Agnes is talking to Herbert and doesn't see her come in. She walks into David's office and sees Maddie sleeping there. She is noticeably upset by it. Maddie's eyes open. She smiles softly. She is too groggy to realize that there are any negative ramifications.
M= Hey, Sharon... you looking for David? He's in my office. I had to rest...
S= In here?
Maddie quickly realizes that Sharon doesn't have the usual friendliness about her. She feels the need to lie, but she is not sure why. She fumbles for something that makes sense.
M= Well... it's a long story. I wasn't feeling well. I couldn't rest in there. My desk was a mess. So David offered me his office.
Sharon says nothing, but walks out the door. She knocks on Maddie's office door and looks around and notices that Maddie's office is perfectly clean.
D= Come in.
D= Hey sugar! What are you doing here?
Sharon thinks about saying something about Maddie, but stops and appears perfectly cheerful. She goes up to David and gives him a big kiss.
S= Paul Klein gave be a buzz today. Wants us all to meet at his club. Me, you, and Maddie. Kind of like a double date.
D= Sounds good. Wait... Maddie hasn't been feeling well today. She's sleeping in my office.
S= Oh really. What's wrong?
D= I think it's the flu or something. Probably from singing in that club half-naked...
Sharon realizes that she missed part of this saga.
S= She sings? At his club? When did you find out?
David realizes he is caught in a lie. He told Sharon he was working late last night, when instead, he went to surprise Maddie at the club.
D= Okay, don't get mad... Mr. Viola brought me there last night and said that it had something to do with a case... but what he really wanted to do was to surprise Maddie... you know, joke with her about it, because she was keeping it from the office... well, everyone except Agnes.
Sharon doesn't like the story too much, but hesitates in confronting David.
S= Oh...
D= You're not mad?
S= No... I just like to know what's going on with things....
David doesn't notice that Sharon is noticeably upset. He's going through papers on the desk.
D= So, if Maddie can't make it, we'll go anyway.
That seems to make Sharon smile.
S= Okay. I'm going there straight from work... it's only 4 blocks down.
D= Okay, that's fine....
Sharon gives him another kiss on the cheek and walks out the door.
Later that day, David is sitting in Maddie's office, not doing anything... he appears to just be thinking. He begins to go through her desk, not quite sure what he's looking for. He searches through each desk, through a few papers, and then gives up. He sits there, frustrated. Suddenly, while he's down at her desk, he sees a calendar. A highlighted box on the calendar has a sticker that says "baby due" with a stork on it. Suddenly, he understands...
It is later that day and the sun has already gone down. David walks out of Maddie's office and Agnes gives him a message.
A= Mr. Addison, Paul called from the club. Him and Sharon are waiting for you and Maddie to have drinks with them and dinner. I told him that Miss Hayes might not make it. Are you going?
David looks at his office door.
D= Yeah, I'm on my way now... Listen, Agnes... tell Maddie... tell Maddie... nevermind.... Just check in on her... she's really not feeling well.
Agnes looks solemn.
A= Okay Mr. Addison.
At the club, David walks in. Sharon and Paul are talking at a table and Paul grins the minute David walks in. He jumps up to greet David.
P= Well, if it isn't "Ace-In-The-Hole" Addison. Hey Buddy! Long time no see... Sharon and I were just discussing how David Addison became a legitimate man business man.
David smiles.
D= "Legitimate" is such a strong word... but hey, I haven't even run a stop sign in months.
P= I'm impressed.
David leans over and kisses Sharon on the cheek.
D= Hey honey.
S= Where's Maddie?
D= I don't think she's coming.
P= I'll probably go see her later. My songbird is sick. I can't blame her. She's been working two jobs. She comes from the office 3 times a week, always looking tired. But she's still so easy-going and sweet to everyone. But she puts on a dress and some makeup and she steals the show. I'm thinking of stealing your partner there.... In more ways than one! She deserves a cut of the profits!
David isn't pleased with the way he said "stealing your partner," but he is an expert at hiding his emotions. And after all, Paul is so oblivious and so obviously in love with Maddie, that David ignores it. The fact was, David didn't even like the fact that Maddie worked there at all. It was unnerving to know that she was able to let her hair down there and be sexy and fun. David always prided himself on the fact that she was at her best with him. It didn't seem that way anymore. Although he hadn't seen her and Paul together, it seemed that everything about them was easy... him and Sharon were easy too, but he didn't know if he was as smitten with Sharon as Paul was with Maddie. Paul's eyes lit up when he spoke of her... as if she was a queen. David thought for one brief moment of the time when he thought he could give Maddie Hayes the world. It seemed silly now. Maybe Maddie never wanted the world; maybe she just wanted someone to brag about her the way Paul did. Suddenly, David realizes that Sharon is talking to him.
S= David! Where is your head? I just asked you if you wanted a drink.
D= Uh, no. I just remembered something. I have to go do something at the office. I completely forgot! I must've been so excited to come here that I forgot.
Sharon is immediately suspicious.
S= Surely it can wait till tomorrow David!
D= Don't worry honey, I'll be back. I just forgot to pay a bill. And it's already late. I'd hate it if I didn't get it out today! I'll be right back. Order me some food and a beer, would ya?
Sharon looks irritated, but Paul is amused.
P= This is unreal! David Addison leaving a club to pay a bill? This is more fun that anything I could have anticipated!
David smiles and lost in thought, walks out of the club.
Maddie is still sleeping on David's couch, in his office. She is snoring. Her eyes open and she sees David's grinning. She sits up quickly and screams out of fear. David giggles.
D= You know, that's not the first time you woke up, saw my face, and screamed. I'm starting to take it personally.
Maddie smiles a wide, but tired smile and purses her lips together.
M= Was I snoring?
D= You always snore...
Maddie is defensive in the way that people accused of snoring often get.
M= I do not... how would you know?... oh, you would know, actually...
D= I'm afraid so, partner. Take it from me, you're not always Sleeping Beauty. More like Snoring Beauty.
Maddie smiles, sits up, and pulls the blanket off her. Her and David are sitting close to one another, but not uncomfortably close.
M= What time is it?
Maddie yawns and rubs her eyes.
D= Almost 8. Paul and Sharon want you to come to the club for dinner and drinks. I wasn't sure if you were in the mood. I was there already, but I had to come back and do something.
M= What?
D= Oh nothing special... a few Ts to dot, Is to cross. I'm going back if you want to come.
M= Um.... I don't know... not in the mood really...
David suddenly looks frustrated and puts his face in his hands.
M= Hey, what's the matter?
David speaks very softly.
D= Maddie, I know.
Maddie is casual and a little confused.
M= David, what?
D= I know what today is...
Maddie breathes in... tears form in her eyes again.
M= Oh.
David looks like he is fighting tears.
D= And I'm not mad you didn't say anything to me... well, I was mad in the beginning. But then I remembered that I forgot. And that's really bad... really bad of me.
Maddie leans on his shoulder quite naturally and begins thinking. Tears are permanently in her eyes.
M= It could have been his birthday. His first day on earth...
She tries so hard not cry and sob, because she never likes to... not even in front of David... especially in front of David. But she sobs anyway, as if in pain, like in her dream...
David grabs her tight.
D= Madd- I know it's hard. I mean, I don't know it's hard. I just... I can't imagine what it feels like... but I'm here.
Maddie looks up and tries to smile.
M= I know you're here David. It's where you've always been.
David finds more comfort in that statement that Maddie does.
Maddie suddenly glares and looks angry. She yells.
M= Look what I've done! Look what I've done!
D= What? You haven't done anything wrong. It happens Maddie. It's not right and I don't know why it happens, but bad things happen.
M= Bad things happen to bad people David. And I'm a bad person.
David is almost amused at this. But then he takes it as an insult to Maddie, and even thought it's Maddie insulting herself, he feels as if someone else is insulting Maddie. And to that, he becomes very defensive.
D= Maddie, you're not a bad person. You're a great person. One of the best.
Maddie shakes in disagreement.
M= You don't know, David... you just don't know. When I found out about the baby, I was so scared. And none of the things I was scared of were even real. In all the time I was pregnant, I never once thought anything could happen to the baby. I worried about you and Sam and Walter, and what people would think of Maddie Hayes having a baby without being married... but for so long, I never really thought about the baby. I just saw him as confusion and problems... and all the traveling I did... planes and trains, and not once, did I think... David, I killed him!
David grabs Maddie's shoulders and shakes her, as if to shake the thoughts out of her head.
D= Don't say that Maddie! You did no such thing! You took care of yourself and all the problems were because you wanted to make sure that baby had the best of everything. Don't ever think it was your fault!
Maddie sobs again.
M= I know it's irrational, but it's just the way I feel. I didn't deserve him, so I lost him... that's the way life goes...
She looks at David intensely, but he is looking away.
D= Wait one second.
Maddie squints her eyes in confusion. David gets up from the couch and walks out the door.
Maddie says out loud, "He is so odd."
David comes in with a pizza and sodas. Maddie smiles.
M= What are you doing with pizza, David?
D= You don't fool me Maddie Hayes! I know pizza is your favorite food!
M= Pizza is not my favorite food.
D= Ah, you still won't admit it. You'll probably try and tell me that Chez Expensique is better than the pizzeria down the corner.... But I ordered some anyway.
He opens the pizza box.
D= I know you haven't eaten all day...
M= David, is that pizza with extra cheese and extra olives?
D= Nothing's too good for you, my dear!
Maddie dives into the pizza, while David pours sodas.
M= You know something?
D= Actually, I know two things: red and blue makes purple, and 1+1=2... that's about all I know. That damn Public School system! I slid right by.
Maddie is suddenly relaxed and coy.
M= Well, you ruined it! I was going to give you a compliment, but I am officially taking it back.
D= Damn!
David starts to think out loud.
D= You know that I feel like the woman in this relationship.
M= What?
D= You know how women are usually the ones to remember everything... birthdays, the first time you held hands, the first time you smiled, the first time you did everything together? With me and you... I remember everything. You may not know this, but I've been studying you for years...
M= So that's what gives me chills in the middle of the night. Pray tell, Addison, has all this studying paid off?
D= Well, not to alarm you, but I know things...
M= I don't believe that.
D= Your favorite movie is Gone With The Wind, your favorite male singer is Elvis Presley, your favorite season is fall, and your favorite nighttime snack is pizza, with extra cheese and extra olives.
M= You scare me.
D= Now you go?
M= Go what?
D= What's my favorite t.v. show? Favorite female singer? Favorite season?
Maddie laughs softly.
M= I don't know. You could've given me some warning before the test!
Maddie smiles again, realizing how David is trying to get her mind off the baby.
M= Well, I don't know.
David knows there's a "thank you" in her eyes.
D= You know what else?
M= Besides 1+1=2?
D= Yeah.
M= What?
D= Nothing really dies.
Maddie is suddenly very comfortable and content when she realizes that David made her feel better with pizza and soda. She sits back on the couch with a pizza box on her lap. She pretends David is just amusing her, but she listens to him carefully. She never really gets tired of David's theories, though she will never admit it.
M= What do you mean?
David looks like a teacher trying to explain something. He suddenly grabs some extra cups.
D= Well, I guess... that I think life is like this bottle of soda and these cups.
Maddie speaks with her mouth stuffed with pizza.
M= You're losing me Addison...
D= No, seriously. You can't really measure life or love or laughter or any of the good stuff. It's sweet and fizzy and it may look like it comes in a bottle, but it could really come from anywhere. You can shake it and freeze it. You can drink it from the bottle or a cup or make an ice cream soda...
M= Interesting...
D= Think of the bottle as your body... and might I say, you have a lovely bottle.... And think of the soda as your life.
M= My life?
D= Yes. You see, your life is a big mush of things...
M= "Life is a big mush of things..." you should really write poetry.
David is not discouraged. He is trying to tell a story.
D= Yeah... it's all these sugars and bubbles and liquids and we don't really know what it is... but we drink it and we love it. Makes us burp and we love it! It's like all the stuff in life... you've got memories, friends, embarrassing moments, sex... sometimes sex is an embarrassing moment. But I digress... the point is, this soda never dies.
Maddie has listened to him, but is confused.
M= How doesn't soda die? What happens when you drink it?
She becomes perplexed by her own questions.
M= I can't believe I'm asking what happens to soda when it dies...
D= Glad you asked. It just goes into another body. And if I pour it in a cup, it's just somewhere else. You see... it may leave its body... but it can't disappear. It's too good and too sweet.
Maddie understands him in that moment and loves him so much that she can't stop smiling. She almost says "I love you" but fears she will ruin the moment (as her and David often think).
M= You're quite a scientist. When did you come up with this?
D= In high school, when we learned about Einstein... you know, D= CM whatever...
M= E= MC squared?
D= Whatever... well, that Einstein guy was pretty smart, you know?
M= I heard that about him too.
D= Well, he said something about how "energy can't be created or destroyed." So I thought, life is energy.... So it must already be here. We must all recycle it or something. And I had a can of soda in my hand at the time... so I figured something like "life is like a can of soda." It can be recycled if you want.
Maddie puts her head in her hand and smirks, an almost "Addison-type" smirk. Her mouth is still struggling with the pizza because she is eating it so fast.
M= I love you David Addison. You and your soda.
She says it so easily that it almost slips by David. But David smirks back. He thinks that maybe that was what he came back for. It was better than he had imagined. He pours soda in two cups and hands her one. She smiles a comfortable smile. She holds the cup and looks into it. She raises it.
He tries to be cocky, but his words still seem sweet.
D= I know, kid. You can't help yourself. I'm charming.
Maddie giggles, but then becomes pensive.
M= I wish I believed in magic.
D= I know.
M= Like you do.
D= Hey, it's not so much magic... it's subjective... watch this.
David picks up the phone and dials.
D= You know what I'm doing?
Maddie shrugs.
M= I never know.
D= I'm calling your office.
M= David, I'm not in my office.
D= That's not the point. The point is, a thousand years ago this would seem like a magic trick. I could pick up this phone and call Australia. You could never explain that to some person from ancient times. They would just accept that it was magic. They wouldn't care about the "how". They would just think it was so wonderful that it had to be magic. You gotta think that way Maddie. Maybe in a thousand years, people will be calling "Heaven". And there'll be some logical explanation that all of us are too dumb to understand. But to me, it would be magic. And you know what? I wouldn't spend any time wondering about the explanation... I'd be too busy calling people!
Maddie smiles with frustration and amazement.
M= Your thoughts get crazier as the night progresses.
David smirks.
D= Well, you knew that already. My point is, just because you know how and why something works, doesn't make it any less magical.
M= Cheers.
D= Cheers.
M= To soda!
D= To soda!
Maddie takes a big gulp of her soda and without being able to control it, she belches.
They laugh.
The camera leaves them as they finish their soda and pizza.
Cut to Maddie and David leaving the office.
D= You should definitely come by Maddie. Everyone is waiting for you... they think you're actually fun there! I even heard the word "easy-going" used to describe you.
M= So you've found out about my double life, Addison. What are you gonna do about it?
D= I don't know yet... this Jekyl and Hyde thing concerns me. It's one thing for people to like you... it's another for them to think you're capable of having a good time.
Maddie is sarcastic.
M= As long as you know the truth.
As they're approaching the door, Agnes and Herbert come in. Agnes looks at them right away with relief, sensing that they are both in good spirits and getting along with each other.
H= Oh Miss Hayes, feeling better?
Maddie smiles softly.
M= Yeah. Yes, Mr. Viola.
D= Nothing a little Dr. Dave couldn't handle!
Maddie rolls her eyes.
Agnes grins.
A= Where are you two off to?
D= We're off to meet Paul and Sharon.
David looks at Maddie.
D= You not singing tonight, are you my little canary?
M= Canary?
D= The little blonde canary... that's what they should call you. I'll talk to Paul about it. You know, he really looks up to me. The kid can't help it.
M= I'm working on that. He may look up to you, but guess who he listens to...
They walk out the door, lost in their conversation. They wave goodbye to Agnes and Bert.
D= I would really like to know one thing...
M= What's that?
D= When exactly did you decide on this Moonlighting thing?....
Cut to the New Moon Club. David walks in casually, but Maddie appears apprehensive and lost in thought. David quickly notices and touches her arm to reassure her.
D= Hey.
M= Hey yourself.
She tries to act casual, but David is clearly not falling for it.
M= David, don't tell them about this. Just tell them I had a headache or something...
David answers softly. "I know."
Maddie sees Paul across the bar, sitting with Sharon. Her composure changes and she transforms her demeanor. She is suddenly bubbly.
She yells to Paul. He gets up quickly to greet her and immediately embraces her and walks with her to another table. David looks at them, while Sharon walks towards him.
Sharon looks at David intently, as if she is studying him. She aggressively grabs him by the arm, as if to establish ownership. David is too distracted to notice.
S= They really are a sweet couple. She's lucky to have him.
D= Yeah.
S= What's wrong with her anyway? She looked sick earlier and now she's all personality.
David doesn't sense that he is being interrogated. He just answers curtly.
D= She just had to unwind. Got a lot on her mind. A headache or something.
David watches Maddie and Paul out of the corner of his eye. Paul is trying to order drinks for Maddie and him.
P= Maddie, what's your poison tonight?
M= Just club soda, honey.
David realizes he is spending way too much time watching the two of them. He must concentrate on his own girlfriend. He turns to Sharon and takes her hand.
D= I missed you today.
S= You could've fooled me. I never thought I'd have to compete with your job.
David responds jokingly.
D= I thought you liked the mature David Addison.
S= I do.
D= How about.... We have some fun tonight? No talk of work, yours or mine.
Sharon smiles.
S= Sure.
Maddie and Paul move to the dance floor. But before they start dancing, Maddie yells across the dance floor to David.
M= Addison!
D= What?
M= The Three Stooges, Etta James, and summer!
David smiles ear to ear. No matter what's going on with him and Maddie, he relishes in the fact that tonight was a perfect night for them. He continues talking to Sharon, with his mind constantly thinking of Maddie. "Oh, well," he thinks. "Can't cry over spilt milk." He looks across the bar and smiles, with a "thank you" in his eyes. Maddie and Paul begin to dance to the song, "You Belong to Me" by Patsy Cline.
You Belong To Me
See the pyramids along the Nile,
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle,
Just remember, you knew all the while,
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers,
Send me photographs and souvenirs,
Just remember, when a dream appears,
You belong to me!
I'll be so alone without you,
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too,
And blue...
Fly the ocean in a silver plane,
See the jungle when it's wet with rain,
Just remember til you're home again:
You belong to me!
I'm gonna be so alone without you,
And I'm hopin maybe you'll be lonesome, too,
And blue...
Fly that ocean in a silver plane,
See the jungle when it's wet with rain,
Just remember til you're home again:
You belong to me!
She hears the song "Baby Love" by The Supremes in her dream. She realizes that in her dream, she is a spectator at her baby shower. She watches herself dancing with David; the two of them are deliriously happy. Then everything begins to become hazy. She hears herself yell for David. Suddenly, she sees another David. The second David is angry and is looking at her with an angry glare. He says to her, "It's all your fault Maddie. I will never forget this. I will never forgive you. I hate you Maddie Hayes. I may not say it, but I truly hate you." He speaks with a monotone, callous tone. He walks away from her and she chases him, while the other Maddie and David are go into the ambulance. She turns him around and says, "But it wasn't your baby, David." David looks at her with tears in his eyes and says, "You'll never get it, will you?" She yells back at him with tears in her voice..."Don't you believe in me David? You used to believe in me..." He walks away and she continues to chase him, but loses him in the crowd. She is suddenly in the ambulance yelling for David. She screams and screams, as if she is being stabbed... she wakes up screaming his name, disoriented and looking next to her, expecting to see someone. But no one is there. She runs to her desk and pulls out a calendar. Then she begins to sob, while sitting at her vanity.
The next day at the office, David walks in cheerful and ready to torture Maddie about her singing. He is wearing Raybans and singing the song "Unforgettable," which Maddie sang the night before. He walks towards Maddie's office, but as he walking...
A= Mr. Addison, I wouldn't do that today if I were you.
D= Please, Agnes, no one's gonna get hurt. A little banter, a few things thrown, a few "Fine, fine, good, goods." Just the usual. You don't think I could witness the spectacle I witnessed last night and not give Old Miss Hayes a little hell over it. She can't get away with keeping secrets from me!
Agnes motions with her hand for David to come over.
A= Mr. Addison... I should tell you... I could be wrong, but Miss Hayes doesn't seem like herself today. I thought she would come in happy, you know, and ready to... I guess argue with you. But when I came in, she didn't... she didn't mention last night... or you... or Mr. Klein. And I'm not sure, but when I looked real close... there were tears in her eyes... maybe old tears, as if she'd been crying.
David looks confused and tries to make sense of it in his head.
D= Crying? She certainly didn't look like she was sad about anything when she was giving your husband a lap dance last night.
Agnes smiles and starts to giggle, mostly at how David can't hide his jealousy.
A= Mr. Addison, between you and me... that was planned.
David knew that all along, but it's nice to hear her say that. He instantly understands, but he still seems to be torn about something.
D= Miss DiPesto... I mean, Mrs. Viola. Do you have Paul's phone number?
A= Sure, I'll get him for you... but why?
D= Just put him through.
In David's office...
D= Little Paulie Klein... yeah, long time, no speak... don't ask me how I am, I hear you're dating my business partner... yes, I am aware that she's good-looking... listen, Buddy, not to scare you off, but you can have her... yeah, I am dating Sharon again... things are great, great... actually, I wanted to know if you can get away from the club for a bit... yes, I know about your club... well, don't tell Maddie, but I've known for a bit... I'm a detective now, I know everything... anyway, I wanted you to come by the office to maybe surprise Maddie and maybe take her out to lunch. My secretary says she's a little under the weather... well, no, I never seem to know what to say to her... chances are, I'll only make her feel worse... you know me, always my foot in my mouth... so, come by... yeah... see ya, buddy!
David hangs up the phone and thinks.... He talks out loud.
D= I'm not going in there. If something's bothering her, she has to come in here and talk about it. I remember the last time I thought she needed a friend to talk to and we're not going through that again. I can't be the one to pursue every meaningful conversation with her.
Just then, he hears a knock on the door... It's Maddie.
M= Hey.
David looks at her suspiciously. He tries to search her eyes without being obvious.
D= Hey.
M= Just when I think I have you pegged... I thought for sure you would come into my office and bother me about last night... getting rusty in your old age.
D= I was getting to that.
M= Oh... what did you think? Were you surprised?
D= That's one way to put it...
Maddie gives a low sigh, and seems happy and sad at the same time.
David can't help but notice that Maddie is trying to open up about something, but can't find the words. But he offers no help. "She'll tell me when she's ready to tell me... if she wants me to know, " he thinks. There's a soft awkwardness in the air.
M= Well... how was I?
D= You were... you were... I can't seem to find the right word. Oh yeah... you were good.
Maddie isn't really hurt by this, but still curious.
M= Oh... thanks. I sometimes think I'm making a fool of myself... that's the only reason I hadn't told you yet. You're not mad, are you?
D= Not at all.
M= Good... and David...
David thinks that she will finally say something meaningful.
M= You understand why I had reservations about telling you about Paul... don't you?
David wasn't sure until then that Maddie knew that he also knew about Paul. Her nonchalance causes him to become a little angry.
D= Actually, no. But it's no surprise.
M= What is that supposed to mean?
D= It means... that you tell me things when you're ready to tell me things and not when you think I should know, or deserve to know...
Maddie doesn't retort with her usual aggressiveness, but the sort of "matter-of-factness" she exhibited in "blonde on blonde."
M= Deserve to know? What does that mean? Don't I have the right to a little privacy...?
David gets up from his chair and interrupts her.
D= Don't start with me, Maddie... I know that you don't understand that there are things you should or could tell me. For no good reason, but just because I am a friend. I do realize that you like to tell me after the fact... there's something in your head that always finds a reason not to be honest with me... it's too complicated, I wouldn't understand... you always find a reason to keep things from me. Go to Chicago, get pregnant, take a second job at a nightclub that my old friend owns, and oh, one more thing... start dating him for weeks and don't tell me! And no matter what, there's always a little part of me that comes to this office every day, and isn't sure you'll be here...
Maddie is noticeably hurt and appears tired from the fight.
M= I just didn't tell you because I didn't know if it meant anything... and if it ended up not to mean anything, it wouldn't have been worth it to tell you.
David looks at her with bitter indifference.
D= As always, thank you.
Without warning, Maddie breaks down and sobs. She cries in a way that he has never seen... even after she lost the baby, she tried to hold back the tears. It doesn't seem to be all sadness or even all frustration, but a combination of both. This has never happened before and David freezes. Maddie begins to drop towards the floor, as if she is losing her balance. Her eyes are spacey. David tries to catch her, but Maddie falls to her knees anyway. David bends down on the floor and grabs her arms, but Maddie is not looking at him. The sight is very strange for David... he thinks she may be sick. He tries to hug her, but she seems too despondent. He speaks to her softly, but with desperation...
D= Madd-... tell me... please tell me... I don't know...
She looks up and grabs him tightly and hugs him.
M= I can't... not because of you... it's just.... Something... something hard...
For a few moments she holds onto him, but not as if she's hugging or embracing him, but almost as if she thinks she'll fall through the floor.
Maddie then changes and realizes where she is what she is doing. She tries to pull herself together...
D= Maddie, why don't you go home today?
M= No... I need to work today... work through this...
D= Well... maybe you should take a nap in your office or something... let me get you tissues....
He runs to the bathroom and gets tissues. He gives them to her and with complete concern in his eyes, he says...
D= You know what? Nap in here... I'll use your office. You don't want to go out there like that.
He doesn't seem to really be asking her, but more like telling her. As he is talking, he is pulling her onto the couch and putting her there. He covers her with a blanket that he gets from the closet and then closes the blinds. Without another word, he walks out to the office.
He speaks to the staff firmly, commanding their attention.
D= Everyone... Miss Hayes is in my office taking a nap... she is not feeling too well... I don't want her disturbed. Anything you need to ask her, tell me... I'll be in her office.
David walks into Maddie's office. It appears as if he suddenly remembers something. He picks up the phone.
D= Agnes, get me Paul again.
D= Yeah, hey Paulie... no, she's fine. She might have the flu or something. She's just resting. I told her to go home, but she wants to stick it out... I know... yeah, you know Maddie. Anyway, I don't think it's such a good idea to surprise her... we'll think of something... maybe... I'll call you if I think she needs a ride home. Okay... later.
He hangs up the phone and says, "Damn it Maddie, you better not be pregnant again."
Later that afternoon, Sharon comes by to visit. Agnes is talking to Herbert and doesn't see her come in. She walks into David's office and sees Maddie sleeping there. She is noticeably upset by it. Maddie's eyes open. She smiles softly. She is too groggy to realize that there are any negative ramifications.
M= Hey, Sharon... you looking for David? He's in my office. I had to rest...
S= In here?
Maddie quickly realizes that Sharon doesn't have the usual friendliness about her. She feels the need to lie, but she is not sure why. She fumbles for something that makes sense.
M= Well... it's a long story. I wasn't feeling well. I couldn't rest in there. My desk was a mess. So David offered me his office.
Sharon says nothing, but walks out the door. She knocks on Maddie's office door and looks around and notices that Maddie's office is perfectly clean.
D= Come in.
D= Hey sugar! What are you doing here?
Sharon thinks about saying something about Maddie, but stops and appears perfectly cheerful. She goes up to David and gives him a big kiss.
S= Paul Klein gave be a buzz today. Wants us all to meet at his club. Me, you, and Maddie. Kind of like a double date.
D= Sounds good. Wait... Maddie hasn't been feeling well today. She's sleeping in my office.
S= Oh really. What's wrong?
D= I think it's the flu or something. Probably from singing in that club half-naked...
Sharon realizes that she missed part of this saga.
S= She sings? At his club? When did you find out?
David realizes he is caught in a lie. He told Sharon he was working late last night, when instead, he went to surprise Maddie at the club.
D= Okay, don't get mad... Mr. Viola brought me there last night and said that it had something to do with a case... but what he really wanted to do was to surprise Maddie... you know, joke with her about it, because she was keeping it from the office... well, everyone except Agnes.
Sharon doesn't like the story too much, but hesitates in confronting David.
S= Oh...
D= You're not mad?
S= No... I just like to know what's going on with things....
David doesn't notice that Sharon is noticeably upset. He's going through papers on the desk.
D= So, if Maddie can't make it, we'll go anyway.
That seems to make Sharon smile.
S= Okay. I'm going there straight from work... it's only 4 blocks down.
D= Okay, that's fine....
Sharon gives him another kiss on the cheek and walks out the door.
Later that day, David is sitting in Maddie's office, not doing anything... he appears to just be thinking. He begins to go through her desk, not quite sure what he's looking for. He searches through each desk, through a few papers, and then gives up. He sits there, frustrated. Suddenly, while he's down at her desk, he sees a calendar. A highlighted box on the calendar has a sticker that says "baby due" with a stork on it. Suddenly, he understands...
It is later that day and the sun has already gone down. David walks out of Maddie's office and Agnes gives him a message.
A= Mr. Addison, Paul called from the club. Him and Sharon are waiting for you and Maddie to have drinks with them and dinner. I told him that Miss Hayes might not make it. Are you going?
David looks at his office door.
D= Yeah, I'm on my way now... Listen, Agnes... tell Maddie... tell Maddie... nevermind.... Just check in on her... she's really not feeling well.
Agnes looks solemn.
A= Okay Mr. Addison.
At the club, David walks in. Sharon and Paul are talking at a table and Paul grins the minute David walks in. He jumps up to greet David.
P= Well, if it isn't "Ace-In-The-Hole" Addison. Hey Buddy! Long time no see... Sharon and I were just discussing how David Addison became a legitimate man business man.
David smiles.
D= "Legitimate" is such a strong word... but hey, I haven't even run a stop sign in months.
P= I'm impressed.
David leans over and kisses Sharon on the cheek.
D= Hey honey.
S= Where's Maddie?
D= I don't think she's coming.
P= I'll probably go see her later. My songbird is sick. I can't blame her. She's been working two jobs. She comes from the office 3 times a week, always looking tired. But she's still so easy-going and sweet to everyone. But she puts on a dress and some makeup and she steals the show. I'm thinking of stealing your partner there.... In more ways than one! She deserves a cut of the profits!
David isn't pleased with the way he said "stealing your partner," but he is an expert at hiding his emotions. And after all, Paul is so oblivious and so obviously in love with Maddie, that David ignores it. The fact was, David didn't even like the fact that Maddie worked there at all. It was unnerving to know that she was able to let her hair down there and be sexy and fun. David always prided himself on the fact that she was at her best with him. It didn't seem that way anymore. Although he hadn't seen her and Paul together, it seemed that everything about them was easy... him and Sharon were easy too, but he didn't know if he was as smitten with Sharon as Paul was with Maddie. Paul's eyes lit up when he spoke of her... as if she was a queen. David thought for one brief moment of the time when he thought he could give Maddie Hayes the world. It seemed silly now. Maybe Maddie never wanted the world; maybe she just wanted someone to brag about her the way Paul did. Suddenly, David realizes that Sharon is talking to him.
S= David! Where is your head? I just asked you if you wanted a drink.
D= Uh, no. I just remembered something. I have to go do something at the office. I completely forgot! I must've been so excited to come here that I forgot.
Sharon is immediately suspicious.
S= Surely it can wait till tomorrow David!
D= Don't worry honey, I'll be back. I just forgot to pay a bill. And it's already late. I'd hate it if I didn't get it out today! I'll be right back. Order me some food and a beer, would ya?
Sharon looks irritated, but Paul is amused.
P= This is unreal! David Addison leaving a club to pay a bill? This is more fun that anything I could have anticipated!
David smiles and lost in thought, walks out of the club.
Maddie is still sleeping on David's couch, in his office. She is snoring. Her eyes open and she sees David's grinning. She sits up quickly and screams out of fear. David giggles.
D= You know, that's not the first time you woke up, saw my face, and screamed. I'm starting to take it personally.
Maddie smiles a wide, but tired smile and purses her lips together.
M= Was I snoring?
D= You always snore...
Maddie is defensive in the way that people accused of snoring often get.
M= I do not... how would you know?... oh, you would know, actually...
D= I'm afraid so, partner. Take it from me, you're not always Sleeping Beauty. More like Snoring Beauty.
Maddie smiles, sits up, and pulls the blanket off her. Her and David are sitting close to one another, but not uncomfortably close.
M= What time is it?
Maddie yawns and rubs her eyes.
D= Almost 8. Paul and Sharon want you to come to the club for dinner and drinks. I wasn't sure if you were in the mood. I was there already, but I had to come back and do something.
M= What?
D= Oh nothing special... a few Ts to dot, Is to cross. I'm going back if you want to come.
M= Um.... I don't know... not in the mood really...
David suddenly looks frustrated and puts his face in his hands.
M= Hey, what's the matter?
David speaks very softly.
D= Maddie, I know.
Maddie is casual and a little confused.
M= David, what?
D= I know what today is...
Maddie breathes in... tears form in her eyes again.
M= Oh.
David looks like he is fighting tears.
D= And I'm not mad you didn't say anything to me... well, I was mad in the beginning. But then I remembered that I forgot. And that's really bad... really bad of me.
Maddie leans on his shoulder quite naturally and begins thinking. Tears are permanently in her eyes.
M= It could have been his birthday. His first day on earth...
She tries so hard not cry and sob, because she never likes to... not even in front of David... especially in front of David. But she sobs anyway, as if in pain, like in her dream...
David grabs her tight.
D= Madd- I know it's hard. I mean, I don't know it's hard. I just... I can't imagine what it feels like... but I'm here.
Maddie looks up and tries to smile.
M= I know you're here David. It's where you've always been.
David finds more comfort in that statement that Maddie does.
Maddie suddenly glares and looks angry. She yells.
M= Look what I've done! Look what I've done!
D= What? You haven't done anything wrong. It happens Maddie. It's not right and I don't know why it happens, but bad things happen.
M= Bad things happen to bad people David. And I'm a bad person.
David is almost amused at this. But then he takes it as an insult to Maddie, and even thought it's Maddie insulting herself, he feels as if someone else is insulting Maddie. And to that, he becomes very defensive.
D= Maddie, you're not a bad person. You're a great person. One of the best.
Maddie shakes in disagreement.
M= You don't know, David... you just don't know. When I found out about the baby, I was so scared. And none of the things I was scared of were even real. In all the time I was pregnant, I never once thought anything could happen to the baby. I worried about you and Sam and Walter, and what people would think of Maddie Hayes having a baby without being married... but for so long, I never really thought about the baby. I just saw him as confusion and problems... and all the traveling I did... planes and trains, and not once, did I think... David, I killed him!
David grabs Maddie's shoulders and shakes her, as if to shake the thoughts out of her head.
D= Don't say that Maddie! You did no such thing! You took care of yourself and all the problems were because you wanted to make sure that baby had the best of everything. Don't ever think it was your fault!
Maddie sobs again.
M= I know it's irrational, but it's just the way I feel. I didn't deserve him, so I lost him... that's the way life goes...
She looks at David intensely, but he is looking away.
D= Wait one second.
Maddie squints her eyes in confusion. David gets up from the couch and walks out the door.
Maddie says out loud, "He is so odd."
David comes in with a pizza and sodas. Maddie smiles.
M= What are you doing with pizza, David?
D= You don't fool me Maddie Hayes! I know pizza is your favorite food!
M= Pizza is not my favorite food.
D= Ah, you still won't admit it. You'll probably try and tell me that Chez Expensique is better than the pizzeria down the corner.... But I ordered some anyway.
He opens the pizza box.
D= I know you haven't eaten all day...
M= David, is that pizza with extra cheese and extra olives?
D= Nothing's too good for you, my dear!
Maddie dives into the pizza, while David pours sodas.
M= You know something?
D= Actually, I know two things: red and blue makes purple, and 1+1=2... that's about all I know. That damn Public School system! I slid right by.
Maddie is suddenly relaxed and coy.
M= Well, you ruined it! I was going to give you a compliment, but I am officially taking it back.
D= Damn!
David starts to think out loud.
D= You know that I feel like the woman in this relationship.
M= What?
D= You know how women are usually the ones to remember everything... birthdays, the first time you held hands, the first time you smiled, the first time you did everything together? With me and you... I remember everything. You may not know this, but I've been studying you for years...
M= So that's what gives me chills in the middle of the night. Pray tell, Addison, has all this studying paid off?
D= Well, not to alarm you, but I know things...
M= I don't believe that.
D= Your favorite movie is Gone With The Wind, your favorite male singer is Elvis Presley, your favorite season is fall, and your favorite nighttime snack is pizza, with extra cheese and extra olives.
M= You scare me.
D= Now you go?
M= Go what?
D= What's my favorite t.v. show? Favorite female singer? Favorite season?
Maddie laughs softly.
M= I don't know. You could've given me some warning before the test!
Maddie smiles again, realizing how David is trying to get her mind off the baby.
M= Well, I don't know.
David knows there's a "thank you" in her eyes.
D= You know what else?
M= Besides 1+1=2?
D= Yeah.
M= What?
D= Nothing really dies.
Maddie is suddenly very comfortable and content when she realizes that David made her feel better with pizza and soda. She sits back on the couch with a pizza box on her lap. She pretends David is just amusing her, but she listens to him carefully. She never really gets tired of David's theories, though she will never admit it.
M= What do you mean?
David looks like a teacher trying to explain something. He suddenly grabs some extra cups.
D= Well, I guess... that I think life is like this bottle of soda and these cups.
Maddie speaks with her mouth stuffed with pizza.
M= You're losing me Addison...
D= No, seriously. You can't really measure life or love or laughter or any of the good stuff. It's sweet and fizzy and it may look like it comes in a bottle, but it could really come from anywhere. You can shake it and freeze it. You can drink it from the bottle or a cup or make an ice cream soda...
M= Interesting...
D= Think of the bottle as your body... and might I say, you have a lovely bottle.... And think of the soda as your life.
M= My life?
D= Yes. You see, your life is a big mush of things...
M= "Life is a big mush of things..." you should really write poetry.
David is not discouraged. He is trying to tell a story.
D= Yeah... it's all these sugars and bubbles and liquids and we don't really know what it is... but we drink it and we love it. Makes us burp and we love it! It's like all the stuff in life... you've got memories, friends, embarrassing moments, sex... sometimes sex is an embarrassing moment. But I digress... the point is, this soda never dies.
Maddie has listened to him, but is confused.
M= How doesn't soda die? What happens when you drink it?
She becomes perplexed by her own questions.
M= I can't believe I'm asking what happens to soda when it dies...
D= Glad you asked. It just goes into another body. And if I pour it in a cup, it's just somewhere else. You see... it may leave its body... but it can't disappear. It's too good and too sweet.
Maddie understands him in that moment and loves him so much that she can't stop smiling. She almost says "I love you" but fears she will ruin the moment (as her and David often think).
M= You're quite a scientist. When did you come up with this?
D= In high school, when we learned about Einstein... you know, D= CM whatever...
M= E= MC squared?
D= Whatever... well, that Einstein guy was pretty smart, you know?
M= I heard that about him too.
D= Well, he said something about how "energy can't be created or destroyed." So I thought, life is energy.... So it must already be here. We must all recycle it or something. And I had a can of soda in my hand at the time... so I figured something like "life is like a can of soda." It can be recycled if you want.
Maddie puts her head in her hand and smirks, an almost "Addison-type" smirk. Her mouth is still struggling with the pizza because she is eating it so fast.
M= I love you David Addison. You and your soda.
She says it so easily that it almost slips by David. But David smirks back. He thinks that maybe that was what he came back for. It was better than he had imagined. He pours soda in two cups and hands her one. She smiles a comfortable smile. She holds the cup and looks into it. She raises it.
He tries to be cocky, but his words still seem sweet.
D= I know, kid. You can't help yourself. I'm charming.
Maddie giggles, but then becomes pensive.
M= I wish I believed in magic.
D= I know.
M= Like you do.
D= Hey, it's not so much magic... it's subjective... watch this.
David picks up the phone and dials.
D= You know what I'm doing?
Maddie shrugs.
M= I never know.
D= I'm calling your office.
M= David, I'm not in my office.
D= That's not the point. The point is, a thousand years ago this would seem like a magic trick. I could pick up this phone and call Australia. You could never explain that to some person from ancient times. They would just accept that it was magic. They wouldn't care about the "how". They would just think it was so wonderful that it had to be magic. You gotta think that way Maddie. Maybe in a thousand years, people will be calling "Heaven". And there'll be some logical explanation that all of us are too dumb to understand. But to me, it would be magic. And you know what? I wouldn't spend any time wondering about the explanation... I'd be too busy calling people!
Maddie smiles with frustration and amazement.
M= Your thoughts get crazier as the night progresses.
David smirks.
D= Well, you knew that already. My point is, just because you know how and why something works, doesn't make it any less magical.
M= Cheers.
D= Cheers.
M= To soda!
D= To soda!
Maddie takes a big gulp of her soda and without being able to control it, she belches.
They laugh.
The camera leaves them as they finish their soda and pizza.
Cut to Maddie and David leaving the office.
D= You should definitely come by Maddie. Everyone is waiting for you... they think you're actually fun there! I even heard the word "easy-going" used to describe you.
M= So you've found out about my double life, Addison. What are you gonna do about it?
D= I don't know yet... this Jekyl and Hyde thing concerns me. It's one thing for people to like you... it's another for them to think you're capable of having a good time.
Maddie is sarcastic.
M= As long as you know the truth.
As they're approaching the door, Agnes and Herbert come in. Agnes looks at them right away with relief, sensing that they are both in good spirits and getting along with each other.
H= Oh Miss Hayes, feeling better?
Maddie smiles softly.
M= Yeah. Yes, Mr. Viola.
D= Nothing a little Dr. Dave couldn't handle!
Maddie rolls her eyes.
Agnes grins.
A= Where are you two off to?
D= We're off to meet Paul and Sharon.
David looks at Maddie.
D= You not singing tonight, are you my little canary?
M= Canary?
D= The little blonde canary... that's what they should call you. I'll talk to Paul about it. You know, he really looks up to me. The kid can't help it.
M= I'm working on that. He may look up to you, but guess who he listens to...
They walk out the door, lost in their conversation. They wave goodbye to Agnes and Bert.
D= I would really like to know one thing...
M= What's that?
D= When exactly did you decide on this Moonlighting thing?....
Cut to the New Moon Club. David walks in casually, but Maddie appears apprehensive and lost in thought. David quickly notices and touches her arm to reassure her.
D= Hey.
M= Hey yourself.
She tries to act casual, but David is clearly not falling for it.
M= David, don't tell them about this. Just tell them I had a headache or something...
David answers softly. "I know."
Maddie sees Paul across the bar, sitting with Sharon. Her composure changes and she transforms her demeanor. She is suddenly bubbly.
She yells to Paul. He gets up quickly to greet her and immediately embraces her and walks with her to another table. David looks at them, while Sharon walks towards him.
Sharon looks at David intently, as if she is studying him. She aggressively grabs him by the arm, as if to establish ownership. David is too distracted to notice.
S= They really are a sweet couple. She's lucky to have him.
D= Yeah.
S= What's wrong with her anyway? She looked sick earlier and now she's all personality.
David doesn't sense that he is being interrogated. He just answers curtly.
D= She just had to unwind. Got a lot on her mind. A headache or something.
David watches Maddie and Paul out of the corner of his eye. Paul is trying to order drinks for Maddie and him.
P= Maddie, what's your poison tonight?
M= Just club soda, honey.
David realizes he is spending way too much time watching the two of them. He must concentrate on his own girlfriend. He turns to Sharon and takes her hand.
D= I missed you today.
S= You could've fooled me. I never thought I'd have to compete with your job.
David responds jokingly.
D= I thought you liked the mature David Addison.
S= I do.
D= How about.... We have some fun tonight? No talk of work, yours or mine.
Sharon smiles.
S= Sure.
Maddie and Paul move to the dance floor. But before they start dancing, Maddie yells across the dance floor to David.
M= Addison!
D= What?
M= The Three Stooges, Etta James, and summer!
David smiles ear to ear. No matter what's going on with him and Maddie, he relishes in the fact that tonight was a perfect night for them. He continues talking to Sharon, with his mind constantly thinking of Maddie. "Oh, well," he thinks. "Can't cry over spilt milk." He looks across the bar and smiles, with a "thank you" in his eyes. Maddie and Paul begin to dance to the song, "You Belong to Me" by Patsy Cline.
You Belong To Me
See the pyramids along the Nile,
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle,
Just remember, you knew all the while,
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers,
Send me photographs and souvenirs,
Just remember, when a dream appears,
You belong to me!
I'll be so alone without you,
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too,
And blue...
Fly the ocean in a silver plane,
See the jungle when it's wet with rain,
Just remember til you're home again:
You belong to me!
I'm gonna be so alone without you,
And I'm hopin maybe you'll be lonesome, too,
And blue...
Fly that ocean in a silver plane,
See the jungle when it's wet with rain,
Just remember til you're home again:
You belong to me!
