          Peyton meets with attorney William Robert Kennerly at the 
          airport. 
     
WA:       Tonight, in the bitter cold of a New England winter, Martin 
          Peyton has come to a nearby airport to meet one of his Boston 
          attorneys, William Kennerly.  A gentleman who has spent more 
          than 40 years in the fine print of the Peyton empire.  Kennerly 
          has been summoned to Peyton's side on an urgent matter.  A 
          legal means of manipulating the surviving members of the Peyton 
          family.  Peyton's purpose, to achieve exactly that arrangement 
          of human life and human chemistry that suits him.  His means, a 
          driving intelligence, and a huge fortune. 

Intro:    Lee Webber is driving Martin Peyton in the limousine toward the 
          White River Airport.  The limousine stops and Webber gets out 
          and walks toward the unloading ramp to the airplane.  Old 
          William Kennerly and his secretary miss Wilson walk down the 
          stairs from the plane.

Scene 1:  Lee escorts old William Robert Kennerly and his secretary, 
          miss Wilson, to the limousine.  Peyton asks miss Wilson to give 
          them a moment alone.  Kennerly gets in the limousine and tells 
          Martin that this is the very last time he will fly down for Peyton.  
          Kennerly says he can't abide planes.  They discuss the new will.  
          Miss Wilson and Webber witness the new will.  Peyton tells Webber 
          that he doesn't have to read it.  Miss Wilson shows Lee Webber 
          where to sign.  They sign.  Peyton tells Webber to close the 
          privacy window.  Peyton tells Kennerly to have a good trip back.

          the door and gets back in the driver's seat.  Peyton tells Webber 
          to drive home. 
        
Scene 2:  Betty is manipulating a yo-yo in Steven's law office.  Steven's 
          secretary [not seen, probably miss Nolan] buzzes to announce 
          that Peyton's chauffeur is there to see him.  Steven tells 
          Betty to look out the window.  This is Lee Webber's first visit 
          to Steven's new office.  Lee Webber tells him that Mr. Peyton 
          invites Steven and Betty to dinner.  Lee says that Kennerly 
          hates to fly.  Webber says that he made it back from the 
          airport in 19 minutes.  Steven is wearing a class ring on his 
          right hand.  Betty accepts the dinner invitation for herself 
          and Steven.  Webber leaves.  Steven and Betty continue to talk.  
          Steven tells Betty that they will pretend that they are not the 
          least bit interested in his new will.

          fabulous Colonial Inn.  They go to his hard top convertible and 
          head to the Colonial Inn for dinner.  She wants to change 
          clothes, but he insists that it wasn't necessary because it is 
          so dark in there you can't even read the menu.

          down the stairs to admit Dr. Rossi.  He says that he is there

          upstairs tending to Matthew.  Rossi has brought a college

          school catalog with her and leaves. 
        
Scene 6:  Lee Webber drives up to the Colonial Post Inn and goes in.  
          Rodney and Sandy drive up and Rodney gets out.  He walks around

          Leslie.  Rita comes to the door.  Norman goes to the door and 
          carries Rita into the apartment.  This is their 424th day

          how he got in.  He offers Elliot a drink.  Chandler says it is 
          cold on the loading dock.  Elliot insists on Chandler answering 
          a few questions.  Elliot wants to know what happened at the

          LH:  Here, I know I don't have to ask you to treat this as 
               highly confidential.  If he is hiding something shady, 
               I promise you, I'll be the first to get rid of him. 

          SW:  What I do and who I do it with is none of your 
               business. 
          LW:  Well, I'm making it my business.  That guy doesn't 
               care anything about you.  All he's interested in is 
               kicks.
          SW:  Leave me alone.
