Chapter 12

Scene 23

Christmas Morning, 1980

Hyde & Jackie's wedding day

Forman basement

Hyde's room

HYDE IS SLEEPING ON HIS COT. JACKIE IS CREEPING BACK INTO THE ROOM, CARRYING A BREAKFAST TRAY. SHE PLACES THE TRAY DOWN NEAR THE COT AND CRAWLS NEXT TO HYDE AND STARTS NUZZLING HIS NECK.

Jackie:Steven, wake up…time for breakfast

Hyde:(very sleepy) Mmmm…Morning dollface…perfect way to start the day (starts to roll over on top of her)

Jackie:(excitedly) I brought you breakfast

Hyde:(stops what he's doing) What is it?

Jackie:(trying to sound annoyed) What do you mean, what is it? It's breakfast.

HYDE STARES AT THE FOOD, UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO.

Hyde:Jackie, We're getting married today. If I screw this up, I'm screwed for life. If I eat this and get sick during the ceremony, you'll never forgive me. If I say something stupid about your food, you'll never forgive me. (pauses and then yells frantically) Tell me what to do!

Jackie:(smiling) I think you should try your breakfast

VERY CAUTIOUSLY, HYDE TAKES A BITE OF HIS PANCAKES. HE STOPS CHEWING AFTER ONE BITE.

Hyde:(puts down his fork) Mrs. Forman made these

Jackie:(laughing) Hey, I never said I MADE you breakfast.

HYDE TAKES A DRINK OF HIS JUICE AND POUNCES ON JACKIE, TICKLING HER. THE BEDROOM DOOR OPENS, REVEALING ERIC, KELSO & FEZ, WHO COME IN AFTER HEARING JACKIE'S LAUGHTER.

Eric:(Hyde groans at the sight of the guys) All right now you two, save something for tonight

Jackie:Think you guys can keep an eye on him? I think his nerves are getting the better of him.

Fez:We'll keep an eye on him

Hyde:(smiles) Next time I see you will be at the ceremony.

Jackie:(beaming) When we get married (she claps and then leans in to kiss him again)

Kelso:(trying to get in between the two lovebirds) Oh for heaven's sake knock it off. Don't worry Jackie; we'll get him to the ceremony in good condition

JACKIE KISSES HYDE AND GOES TO GET READY FOR THE WEDDING. HYDE FROGS KELSO.

Scene 24

Forman Basement

Circle Time

Kelso:Well Hyde, are you in good condition? Because I'm feeling no pain.

Hyde:I'm in fabulous condition. Hey, did you know that Jackie uses this conditioner in her hair that smells like… (starts laughing) I can't remember what I was going to say!

Eric:Hyde! The circle is sacred. You know that you cannot talk about conditioner in the circle.

Fez:Eric, lighten up. Hyde and Jackie are getting married in just a few more hours. She & Donna are strapping their breasts into formal gowns as we speak.

Kelso:Yeah Eric. Hey, did you guys ever notice that the new Charlie's Angel looks like Midge?

Hyde:(laughs hysterically at Kelso)

Eric:Yeah, I can see that…. (gazes goofily)

Fez:Midge as a red head…. (gazes goofily)

Kelso:And a sweater… (gazes goofily)

Hyde:(annoyed) Hey, I'm getting married today. Stop with this Midge stuff. (laughs) I'm getting Jackie some sweaters, (HUGE grin) like Midge had.

Scene 25

Laurie's bedroom

Champagne Circle

Donna:I can't believe you two are getting married. (Slams her glass of champagne)

Laurie:I can't believe you two are getting married. (Sips, then slams her glass of champagne)

Kitty:I can't believe that my other baby is getting married and then having a baby too. I'm losing a baby and getting a baby. Ooh. (slams part of the bottle of champagne.

Jackie:Alright lushes….we've only got three more hours until I'm Mrs. Steven Hyde. So, let's get busy. Hair, makeup, nails, get moving….and no one looking better than me. Not that you could.

Donna:Gimme that friggin bottle…. (starts wrestling Kitty for the bottle of champagne. They fall on the floor. Laurie just looks at them)

Scene 26

Forman Living Room

Two hours later

RED, ERIC, KELSO, FEZ, BOB, WB, JACK & LEO ARE ALL AROUND THE TELEVISION, WATCHING THE LAST OF THE PACKER GAME. THEY ARE ALL DRESSED FOR THE WEDDING. KITTY AND BROOKE ARE RUNNING FROM ROOM TO ROOM, SETTING UP HORS D'ORVES. FENTON IS MAKING FINAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DECORATIONS.

Kelso:Where's Hyde?

Eric:Basement. Threatened to kill me if I didn't stop hovering. So I stopped hovering. Why should I hover?

Fez:Eric, you're losing it.

Eric:Oh my god, the ring. Where's the ring?

Fez:You are so bad with rings. (Kelso shakes his head in agreement)

W.B.:(looking at his watch) Think the nerves are kicking in?

Bob:'bout that time….

Kelso:Twenty says Hyde skips out on Jackie.

Red:(annoyed) He's not skipping out on anyone. Kitty, stop running around.

Kitty:(mumbling) so much to do, can't stop to think.

Red:I'm getting out of here (Red gets up and leaves the room)

Bob:Pay up W.B., I knew Red would be the one to bail.

W.B.I thought I had a sure thing with Kelso running out of fear. (he hands Bob some money from his wallet)

Scene 27

Forman Basement

Hyde is sitting in his chair in a dark suit, with a bolo tie.

RED COMES DOWN THE STAIRS AND SMILES AT HYDE

Red:(knowingly) Steven…..

Hyde:(panicked) Yeah, yeah, I do…oh. Hey Red.

Red:Nervous?

Hyde:I'm not nervous.

Red:Nervous as you can be less than an hour before your wedding.

Hyde:whatever.

Red:(sits on the chair opposite Hyde) Steven, you're supposed to be nervous. ALL men get nervous before their wedding.

Hyde:Did you get nervous?

Red:Weren't you listening?

Hyde:Yeah, but you never get affected by anything.

Red:Steven, you're going to be married. So, I'll let you in on a little secret. It's an act. It's all an act.

Hyde:No way man.

Red:That's why men have garages. So they don't show that it's not working. When we're angry, upset, sad….we fix things and build things and destroy things. That's what we do. We just don't show our emotions like the women do.

Hyde:(nods in agreement) Or Eric.

Red:(rolls his eyes) Right. Steven, on the day I married Kitty, I was so nervous that I couldn't eat and my navy buddies had to ply me with a fifth of bourbon just to get me to the church. But when I saw Kitty in that dress….nothing else mattered. I stopped shaking, the knees came together and we did it.

Hyde:(pretend shock) In the church! (places his hands on his cheeks)

Red:No, dumb ass, we had the ceremony. (Sees Hyde laughing at him) And it'll be that way for you & Jackie. As long as Eric can find the ring.

Hyde:(jaw clenches and runs up the stairs) Forman, prepare to die if you haven't found that ring.

Red:And that would be the traditional groom pep talk (pauses) with a wedding burn. (Red gets up smiling and heads upstairs after Hyde)

Scene 28

Laurie's bedroom

Donna is making the final adjustments to her makeup. She is wearing a floor length green dress with elbow length sleeves; Laurie is playing with Betsy, who is a flower girl, wearing her red, velvet Christmas dress & black patent shoes. Jackie is behind a panel, finishing getting ready.

Laurie:You got everything covered, Bride Lady?

Jackie:I think so….Something old is the pin from Mrs. Forman, something new is my dress, something borrowed are the earrings from Donna and something blue is my garter from you, Laurie.

Laurie:All right then…time to tie the knot!

THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR

Jack:Everybody decent?

Donna:Come on in, we're ready.

JACK ENTERS THE DOORWAY. LAURIE & BETSY HEAD DOWNSTAIRS.

Jack:The minister just arrived. And the hippie is going to play the organ. So, I guess we're about ready.

Donna:Jackie?

JACKIE COMES OUT FROM BEHIND THE PANEL. SHE IS DRESSED IN A FLOOR LENGTH LIGHT IVORY GOWN, WITH LONG, LACE SLEEVES. THE GOWN HAS AN OPEN, WIDE SWEETHEART NECKLINE, THAT EXTENDS ALMOST TO HER SHOULDERS AND IS EMPHASIZED WITH THE ANTIQUE PIN FROM MRS. FORMAN, JUST ABOVE HER STERNUM. HER HAIR IS PULLED UP, AND HAS A CROWN OF IVORY ROSES IN HER HAIR.

Donna:(tearing up) Oh my god….

Jackie:(smiles at Donna) Daddy? Do I look alright?

Jack:I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life.

Donna:I'll let them know we're almost ready. (She goes over and hugs Jackie tightly and then squeezes Jack's arm on her way out)

Jack:Donna's going to have to lie to everyone. I'm not ready. You'll always be my little girl.

Jackie:Oh Daddy…(she starts crying and they hug) Don't make me have to redo my makeup.

Jack:I can't promise that. (he laughs) I guess there isn't much for me to tell you. You've grown into such a lovely woman. And Steven is a fine, young man. You did good, kitten.

Jackie:Having you here means so much to me Daddy. We've missed out on so much….

Jack:But we have the future. With you & Steven. And my grandchild.

Jackie:I love you Daddy…(she kisses his cheek)

Jack:I love you too. (he kisses her cheek) Well, I guess this is it.

Jackie:I guess so.

THEY OPEN THE DOOR AND SEE FEZ STANDING THERE.

Fez:It will just be another minute. Donna has to extract Hyde's hands from around Eric's neck for thinking he lost the ring. But I will tell them you're ready.

MUSIC CAN BE HEARD AS JACKIE & JACK LEAVE LAURIE'S BEDROOM

Author's Note: Tanya Roberts, who played Midge on T70S, was added to Charlie's Angels in 1980.
