Adrienne goes horseback riding. [whw]
WA: Late yesterday, the house on the hill was the scene of a bitter
argument between Steven and Betty Cord. This morning, the
sounds have died down. The battleground is quiet. Martin
Peyton feels that his plan to bring Adrienne Van Leyden here to
break up the Cord marriage will work if his grandson Steven can
spend enough time alone with Adrienne. The chemistry of these
two personalities must explode.
Intro: Lee Webber drives the limousine up to the front of the mansion.
Scene 1: Peyton comes down the stairs carrying two canes in his right
hand and holding onto the bannister with his left. He sits at
the dining table and has a talk with Mary. She tells him that
Adrienne has already eaten and is going horseback riding.
Webber is waiting for her in the car to take her to the riding
stables. She tells him also that Steven has already gone down
to the beach. Betty has a headache.
Scene 2: In her bedroom, Adrienne is admiring her engagemnent ring as
Peyton knocks. He comes in and tells Adrienne to take the
bridal path down by the sea. Adrienne asks where Betty is.
Mary had told Peyton that Betty has a headache. She tells
Peyton that Betty and Steven had a fight. She asks what to do
when she finds Steven. He says, "Who am I to advise an expert?
Good hunting."
Scene 3: Ada and Rita come out of the apartment and descend the stairs
by the Pharmacy. They also are going to the beach. Ada
notices it is rather cool and mentions getting a warmer sweater
for Rita, but she doesn't. Rita gets in Ada's very nice car.
Ada walks around to the driver's seat and gets in. There is a
good view of the bus terminal across the street from the
Pharmacy but now it looks like a movie theater. It has a large
PEYTON sign on top. This building is probably known as the
Peyton Theater. The camera pans left and there is a good wide
angle view of the Bank Building, also known as the Chamber of
Commerce Building.
Scene 4: Eddie Jacks goes in to see Elliot at the Clarion. Elliot is
typing away [like Clark Kent at the daily planet]. Eddie says
that Elliot looks down right distinguished like a Senator or at
least a congressman. Elliot says he is surprised. Elliot asks
Eddie why he came back at this time. Elliot says he has been
asking about Eddie. He starts talking about Jack Chandler or
Jack Forrest. He mentions that Eddie was his friend. Eddie
says he knew Chandler but he wouldn't call him a friend. Eddie
says he is looking a job. He wants to place an ad in
situations wanted column. Eddie reads the want ads. Much like
Lee did before he got the chauffeur job. Elliot asks if Eddie
is going to stay. Elliot asks what qualifications Eddie has
other than as bartender. Eddie admits that he spent some time
in prison. He talks about his prison psychiatrist.
Scene 5: Rossi is in his office looking at some x-rays. Ada is there to
see Dr. Rossi. She wants Rossi to tell Eddie to stay away from
Rita. Rossi tells Ada that there is no legal way to keep Eddie
away from Rita. Rossi says that Eddie can change. Eddie has a
right to see his daughter. Ada leaves.
Scene 6: As Ada leaves, she runs into Leslie Harrington in the hospital
corridor in front of the Information Desk. He says he must
talk to her. He says that Eddie dropped in on him. He tells
Ada she must send him on his way. Leslie asks Ada what Eddie
told her. Leslie says they must smoke Eddie out. Ada says she
despises Eddie. Ada leaves.
Scene 7: Steven is on the beach watching the waves. Adrienne is on the
beach riding a horse. Rita is on the beach applying sun tan
lotion and picnicking. Steven walks over to Adrienne who has
just dismounted. She tells him that the beach reminds her of
Puerto Vallarta. Adrienne tells him that she and Dr. Phillip
Van Leyden used to vacation there. They argue. However, the
chemical elements present cause their lips to touch. She
remounts the horse and rides off past a "Peyton Landing"
sign. Rita is watching them from a distance.
Preview: Lee talks with Martin. Rita talks to her father for the first
time. Steven talks with Adrienne.
LW: I parked above the dunes and watched.
MP: Met, did you say? Mrs. Van Leyden met a man?
LW: They were acting so familiar.
MP: What exactly did you see?
RJ: Where you when mom and I needed you? We don't want you
any more. I never had a father and I don't want one.
