Episode 6, scene 5 [Dr. Rossi and Laura Brooks leave the Peyton Professional Building.] MR: Well, thanks for working so late this evening, miss Brooks. LB: Oh, I'm used to it. Remember, I used to keep Donald's hours with him. You must be hungry. MR: Yes, I'm going to go over to the Inn and try the blue plate special. LB: I'd ask you home, but . . . MR: Why don't you come and have dinner with me? LB: Thank you, I'd like to. But I don't think I'd better. MR: Oh, Peyton Place, huh? LB: They do gossip. MR: Listen, do you think it will be all right If I walk you over to your car? LB: Well, I think we might get away with it. LB: Uh, I don't sound like a prude, do I? I'm not. I'm just trying to make you understand Peyton Place better. Quite different from New York City. MR: And so far, I like those differences. LB: Don't you miss the city? MR: No, not yet. MR: What is all this? LB: Founders Day Festival. MR: Well, I don't even know who founded New York. LB: It was Peter Stuyvesant, wasn't it? MR: Was it? LB: I don't know, you're the New Yorker. MR: Well, you see, that's my point. You know who founded Peyton Place. Even I know that. Sam Peyton. LB: But, what do you know about him? MR: Well, Let's see . . . Nothing. LB: Well doctor. He was a rebel. Rebelling against strict controls of the bay colony. He came here to live and worship as he pleased. But before long he was imposing his ideas on everybody else. MR: Well, What did they do? LB: Some moved away. MR: Well, I don't like to move around a lot. I like to stand my ground. [Laura changes her mind.] LB: Dr. Rossi, I think I'm ready to risk a little gossip to have that blue plate special. MR: Well, I think I'll risk the blue plate special. Episode 6, scene 5 HOME
