George entertains Julie and Betty at the pizza parlor.
WA: Some time ago, when George Anderson created a scene of violence
in Peyton Place, he was helped by Elliot Carson. Now after
some months in the shelter of Geeenvale Sanitarium, George is
going home for a trial visit. Once again, Elliot Carson, by
driving him home, is helping him. But in George's confused
mind, Elliot Carson is the one who needs help.
Intro: The square. The pillory. The cannon. Snow on the ground.
Elliot and George drive up in Elliot's fifty dollar crate.
Cars and the pickup with sideboards drive around the square.
Scene 1: George is talking to Elliot as they arrive at the square and
park in front of the Clarion. Paul comes around the corner as
George goes in the double doors of the Peyton Professional
Building to the east of the Clarion. He is carrying a
suitcase. This is the entrance to Dr. Rossi's office building.
Elliot is carrying a package and is about to walk into the
Chandlery as Paul walks up. Paul is wearing a coat with
fasteners like a loop and stick. Paul asks Elliot if he has
brought in a visitor. Paul says he has never met George
Anderson but has heard of him. Paul refers to George Anderson
as the embattled insurance man. They talk briefly about
George.
Scene 2: Rossi is in his office talking to Julie as George comes in.
Rossi asks George how he feels and tells him it is good to have
him home. Julie manages to confirm this. Rossi says that he
has some house calls to make. George thanks Rossi for getting
Betty a job. Since he gave Julie a job also, he opines aloud
if Rossi can get him a job. Rossi says that there should be
plenty of jobs in town. He tells George to come by the next
day. Rossi goes on a house call. George and Julie talk.
Scene 3: Constance sees Elliot through the window of the Book Gallery,
and rushes outside. Constance calls to Elliot and they talk
about Elliot's trip to pick up George at the sanitarium.
Elliot said he saw some Canadian Honkers. Constance suggests
to Elliot that he should be careful.
Scene 4: Inside the Chandlery, Elliot Carson is opening the package as a
process server, in plain clothes, comes in and serves Elliot
with a subpoena ordering him to appear in court the next day
concerning Catherine Peyton Harrington's will, and to produce
Elizabeth's diary.
Scene 5: In Rossi's outer office, Julie reminds George that he is home.
George says that he will sit over at the side. Julie says that
he is not in the way. They embrace.
Scene 6: Matthew Swain comes in the Chandlery and Elliot shows him the
subpoena. Matthew and Elliot discuss Paul Hanley, Leslie,
William Robert Wainwright, the diary and Elliot's parole.
Elliot tells Matthew that he promised Constance not to tell
Allison about her heritage. He says that he might burn the
diary to protect Allison. Matthew warns him not to destroy
evidence.
Scene 7: Allison, walks up and sees Norman sitting on a ledge in front
of a closed shop on the wharf. She tells him he won't get much
service sitting there. She asks him to walk with her. They
walk off together.
Scene 8: In the Book Gallery, Rita Jacks has selected a self-help beauty
book. She tells Constance that she will come back the next day
when she is paid, and pick it up. Rita is about to leave as
Norman and Allison come in the book store. Norman introduces
Rita to Allison. Rita leaves to go back to work. The book is
"Style and Beauty 1001 ways to good grooming". Even though
Constance is there, Allison talks with Norman. Allison says she
is glad that Norman has a girl friend. Allison confides in
Norman that she cares about him. With a bit of prodding, Allison
admits that she is a little jealous.
Scene 9: In the law office over the bank, lawyer Theodore Dowell talks
to Leslie. Leslie says Paul found the diary. Leslie admits he
no longer denies seeing Elizabeth. Leslie says Paul now thinks
it was Leslie who was at the beach house and killed Elizabeth
and that Paul is willing to testify that it was Leslie's voice
he heard. Dowell asks if Paul is interested in blackmail.
Dowell advises Leslie to drop the case. Dowell says what was a
simple fight over a codicil and now it could be a retrial of a
murder.
Scene 10: Rita is in the bar area of Ada Jacks' Tavern doing her
fingernails, as her mother walks in the front door. It is
inferred that the tavern is closed because the chairs and
stools are on the tables and the counter. Ada says that Kitch
Brunner never noticed her nails. Rita tells Ada that she is
dating Norman Harrington. Ada says that Norman is a nice boy.
Ada encourages Rita to go ahead and date Norman. Ada says not
to worry about Leslie Harrington, that she can handle him.
Rita asks Ada if she knows Leslie Harrington. She says she
knew Leslie Harrington a long, long, time ago. Ada gets up and
hits the NO SALE key on the cash register. Behind the
register is a Lunch Special sign indicating $1.25. [Later in
the series Ada tells Jack Chandler that she doesn't fix
sandwiches anymore.]
Scene 11: In a pizza parlor, George is trying to entertain Julie and
Betty. He tells them the psychiatrist joke. Julie says its
time to get back to the office and leaves. Julie says she will
be back early, that she is planning something special for
dinner. George asks how Betty likes her work at the hospital.
Betty inquires what he plans to do. George comments that he
plans to sit in the easy chair living room all afternoon. The
dark-haired waitress is not identified. Betty says goodbye and
leaves. George pays the bill and leaves.
Scene 12: Out on the Peyton square, Rodney runs into Betty Anderson.
Rodney tells Betty that he saw her father, but he didn't speak,
because he didn't want to upset him. Betty says she is going
back to work so Rodney offers her a ride back to the hospital.
She declines.
Scene 13: At the Peyton Mills, Leslie's temporary secretary Marian, is
talking with Leslie in his inner office. Leslie tells her that
if Elliot calls to tell him she can't get a hold of him. Paul
comes in to talk to Leslie. Paul accuses Leslie of killing his
sister. Paul says that he had his share of disadvantages but
at least he didn't draw Leslie as his father. Leslie tells
Paul to leave the office immediately. Leslie tells him to drop
it. Paul continues to press Leslie. Leslie tells him to get
out. Paul finally leaves. [Later in the series, David
Schuster inherits Marian and later transfers her to accounting
when he re-hires Julie Anderson. Marian had been brought into
the office from the factory by Leslie after Julie abruptly
resigned. Leslie calls her Mary.]
In Leslie's outer office at the mill, George is waiting to see
Leslie. Paul comes out and introduces himself to George.
George goes in Leslie's office asks Leslie how he is. Leslie
offers him a seat and a drink. George has some ginger ale. He
says he has had some problems but is in good shape now. George
says he wants to pay Leslie back for the hospital bills.
George becomes angry over the annulment settlement. George
says that Leslie had him locked up in Greenvale. George takes
another drink and smashes the glass on the desk. He storms out
and is offered a lift home by Paul Hanley. George gets in.
