 Transcripts Snappies Fan Creations M & M Press LinksApril 6, 2004: Liza asks Tad if he is falling for Krystal. Marian: Darlings, do you want to know the antidote for business and boardrooms? It's a huge, fabulous celebration. I think it's high time we have one. Opal: Oh! Krystal: Oh, heck. Yeah, it's long overdue. I mean, I think a big, fancy wedding is just what we need. Liza: Mother meant a christening. Marian: My, my, Krystal, your mind always seems to segue to romance. You have some poor dupe in mind? Tad: [He comes in.] Morning, all. Adam: Oh -- it was true all along? You're engaged to Martin? Opal: Quick, Tad, run while you can. I'll create a distraction. Krystal: I was talking about nuptials for JR and Babe. I think it's high time those two did it up right. Marriage is about love and family, and after everything JR and Babe have been through, I think it's high time they can be surrounded by love and flowers -- Mary: And presents? Forgive me, but I think it would be a little gratuitous. This couple already has everything they need, including a child. Tad: I like it. Liza: You what? Tad: I think it's a great idea. JR, you and Babe were very lucky to find one another. I think you should allow me to show you how happy I am for you. So, what do you say? We'll do it. Okay, we'll shoot the works. Adam: Yes -- oh, yes, we will. Of course we will, in grand style, befitting a Chandler. Marian: Well, Stuart will be thrilled. He's a sucker for weddings and wedding cakes. [She grins.] JR: Whoa, whoa, just hold on one second on the rose petals and rice here. We don't even know if Babe's up for something like this. Krystal: Oh, come on, JR! You offer Babe a wedding of her dreams, and i'll bet you dollars to doughnuts she says "I do." Babe: [She comes down the stairs.] Morning. [She notices everyone is looking at her.] What? What, do I have baby spit-up on me or something? JR: Oh, no, of course not. You're beautiful. You're even more beautiful every day. Here, sit. [He kneels down in front of her.] Babe: What are you doing? Why is everyone looking at us? JR: That's because they know how much I love you. And how much I want to make all your wishes come true. And now I'm going to ask you to make one of my wishes come true. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife all over again? [Krystal and Tad look at each other.] Babe: Yes. Yes. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Krystal: Woo-hoo! Mary: [Unenthusiastically] Woo-hoo. [Aside, alone] There'll be a hog-calling contest immediately after the ceremony. Opal: [To Babe] You're just going to love being a bride again! Only now that you got Bess, you know, I think you're going to have to postpone that honeymoon. Liza: Just know that Colby's going to be hinting about the flower girl position. JR: Well, the job's all hers. Babe: [To Krystal, aside] How come I get the feeling that this is your idea? Krystal: Oh, honey, you know there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do to see you happy. Babe: You're the best. [To everyone] Okay, so does it make me a really bad mama -- I just want to rush upstairs and wake up bess and tell her the good news. JR: How is my girl? Babe: She is snoozing without a care, and, you guys, she has this little whistle noise that she makes. Opal: Oh! Adam: JR had the same thing. Still does on occasion. Babe: Oh. Opal: Oh, Adam, honestly -- any moment you're going to be crowing that bess inherited the Chandler diaper-filling genes. Adam: Oh! Tad: Ah, yes -- the real Chandler legacy lives on. All hail the royal bloodline. Marian: Well, you know, I have to admit I can't wait to see if young Bess gets the same glorious coloring that Hayley and Colby got. Liza: Yes. Opal: Well, honey. Krystal: Ahem. Excuse me. I'm going to just check the terrace and see if it'll be okay for the bridal luncheon. [Tad follows her and Liza notices.] [Liza is standing just outside; Marian comes up to her.] Marian: Morning. It's probably nothing. Liza: Adam says that Tad and Krystal share some big secret, a secret that would send Krystal and Babe running from Pine Valley. Marian: Well, he's not going to kick the mother of his darling little baby out into the cold, darling. He's not going to let Adam do that. Liza: I'm just wondering what Pine Valley would be if it were a Krystal-free zone. Marian: You mean, if Tad were a Krystal-free zone? Darling, please, go on out there and just take what's yours, okay? [Marian walks back inside, and Liza moves closer to where Tad and Krystal are talking.] Tad: You could have knocked me over with a feather when Adam agreed. I just hope he doesn't change his mind and try to talk the kids out of it. Krystal: Well, as far as this wedding goes, I vote for ASAP. We both know what's riding on this. Tad: You're going to have to get yourself a new project. Might I suggest something a little less stressful, like maybe the bomb squad? Krystal: I'll be too busy checking the bus schedules and scooting out of town. Can't wait to see Adam's face. Talk about joyful. It's fine by me. As soon as my little girl's properly hitched, it's hasta la vista, Pine Valley. Tad: No, wait. No, no. You can't just up and leave. I don't want you to go. All I'm saying -- I just mean, what about Babe? After everything she's been through, this would kill her. Krystal: Come on, Tad, that's sweet. The couple has to endure two in-laws hovering over them? Make that three, counting you. And besides, I mean, I just -- I get stiff sitting still. I need to -- I need to stretch my legs. Tad: I don't buy it for a second. You're going to choose this moment to stretch your legs, when Bess is finally home safe and sound and upstairs in that bassinet? Krystal: Yeah. Babe's happy, okay? She's got her husband, she's got her baby. It's time for this free spirit to see which way the wind is blowing. Tad: Well, you happen to know when the wind's going to pick up? Because I missed the morning forecast. Krystal: When I find out, I'll -- I'll let you know. Right now, I -- I got a wedding to plan. [She goes inside.] Tad: You can come out now, Liza. Liza: Tad -- tad: Don't, okay? Don't start. I just -- you're hiding again. I want to know why. Liza: Well, Krystal came out here and you followed her. I thought something was wrong, and then I realized it was an intimate moment, so I backed off. Tad: Intimate? How -- how do you get intimate out of any of that? Liza: You were just begging her not to go. Tad: I was not. Liza: All right, it was a heartfelt plea. [She rolls her eyes and walks away.] Tad: Heartfelt -- excuse me, you must be hitting the bar again with Mary. Liza: You know, I got to tell you, this hiatus of yours looks suspiciously like a cover. Are you falling for Krystal? Tad: Oh, please. I stop putting out, so all of a sudden, I'm in love? Liza: You know, we used to tell each other everything. Tad: All right. I'm telling you this. You're nuts. Liza: All right, fine. Don't tell me. You want to have an honest conversation with a friend, why don't you give me a call? [She leaves.] |
