PEYTON PLACE Episode 76. 06-15-65 Claire is disconcerted. WA: A dark night in Peyton Place. A dark night for Norman Harrington. Driven by his loneliness and his loss of identity he tried to go back into the house where he was born, and found it was forever occupied by strangers. Still lonely, more confused than ever his return to the apartment he shares with his brother. Intro: The square. The fire station. Norman drives by the fire station and parks his convertible in front of the Pharmacy. Scene 1: Rita opens the apartment door and lets Norman in. Rita is wearing jeans. Norman takes off his jacket and asks Rita where "the big man" is. Rita tells him that she was worried to death about him. Norman says he knows that Rita likes him. She made it clear at the Pond, the night before. Rita is leaving as Rodney returns. Norman compares Rodney to their father. Rodney asks Norman about breaking into the Schusters. This doesn't go over well with Norman. Scene 2: In Kim's room, Doris is trying to get Kim to sleep. The mobile is casting eerie shadows on the walls. [1965 Special effects]. Doris leaves and sits by David who is resting on the third step of the stairs. She says that Kim is sound asleep as though nothing had happened. David says that this is a warning. Doris says that this will never happen again. They yell at each other some more. Kim screams. Probably a nachtmare. Doris starts up. David stops her. Kim screams again. Doris goes up. The moving shadows of the mobile may have frightened Kim. Scene 3: David drives over to the Carson house and rings the chimes. On the way to the front door from the kitchen, Allison says, "Now, here," said the queen, "It takes all the running one can do to stay in the same place." Allison answers the door. David apologizes for the way he acted the previous night as Allison had found Kim and brought her home. Allison realizes that the bacon is burning and runs to the kitchen. David comes in. The milkman comes to the front door because he didn't get an answer at the back. Allison introduces Mr. Schuster. Allison doesn't call the milkman by name. The milkman leaves. David asks Allison if she is holding something back the previous night. David says that Kim hasn't spoken one word to them since they came to Peyton Place. Allison says that she doesn't remember anything. David thanks her and leaves. Allison again says, "It takes all the running one can do to stay in the same place." Scene 4: In Doctors Hospital, Claire and Dr. Rossi talk. Claire says that Rossi is criticizing her. Claire has just agreed to replace Dr. Burgess on the staff there. Rossi says, "Welcome, Dr. Morton." Claire observes that they seem to argue every time they talk. Scene 5: At the mansion, Rodney has come to talk with Doris. Doris says that he is not intruding. Rodney apologizes for Norman's breaking into the mansion. Doris minimizes the incident. Scene 6: In the Book Gallery, Allison is completing a non-sale to a lady as Doris Schuster comes in the Book Gallery. Doris apologizes for her husband and her behavior the previous night. She says that it was so ungracious. Doris says that it wasn't a very auspicious beginning to their life in Peyton Place. Allison says that her Latin teacher has a proverb on the wall: Many a time from a bad beginning great friendships have sprung. Doris asks Allison to baby sit that night. Allison says that she can't. Her parents are coming home tonight. Allison says she will call her, she may change her mind. As Doris is leaving she runs into Norman Harrington. His manners are even worse this time. Scene 7: Rodney is kicking the tires on Norman's car and looking inside as Betty attracts his attention. Dr. Rossi comes up and joins them. Betty is on her way to the hospital. She says that miss Choate is a dragon. Rodney tells the doctor that the car is Norman's. Scene 8: Allison walks home, stops at the gate for a moment, and goes to the front door. Elliot opens it and smiles broadly. Constance is behind him. Allison smiles. Preview: Doris Schuster asks the limo driver about Peyton. Matthew talks with Dowell. Doris and David tell Allison goodnight as they leave for a dinner engagement. Allison talks to Kim. DS: How is Mr. Peyton? LD: Not better, but then not worse, neither. DS: Did you think I was trying to get information from you? MS: I imagine this legal work concerns the Peyton mill. TD: That's one of the reasons for this dinner tonight. I want to get some idea of what sort of a man Schuster is. Doris: Good-night, Allison. David: We'll see you later. AM: If we hurry, we can finish this picture before it is time to go to bed. The limo driver, Raymond Gorby in the preview looks like Mr. Death. Raymond Gorby, Martin Peyton's man-uncredited. Note: The name Golby was changed to Gorby possibly because of Rodney's pronunciation in episode 151. Dr. Burgess leaves. Milkman-uncredited. Allison's reference in scene 3 is from Lewis Carroll's Alice through the looking glass. PREV HOME NEXT
