Tom Winter cuts his hand.
WA: Dr. Michael Rossi has a problem patient, his friend Rodney
Harrington. Today, Dr. Rossi had every reason to assume that
he could leave Rodney to his therapeutic routine. Leave him
long enough to attend to administrative matters. But the
doctor has been summoned back, forced to deal with his problem
patient.
Intro: Dr. Rossi drives up to Doctors Hospital in his sporty red
convertible. He gets out, removes his briefcase and a jacket
from the back seat, and an item from the dash, and starts to go
in. Chuck Atwell, the physical therapist comes out.
Scene 1: They begin to discuss Rodney Harrington. They go inside.
Chuck Atwell asks Dr. Rossi how to get Rodney to resume his
therapy.
Scene 2: Inside the hospital, they continue to discuss Rodney at the
Information desk. Rossi hands the special duty nurse the
briefcase and the jacket. Rossi walks off and Chuck Atwell
stops and opines.
Scene 3: Dr. Rossi goes into Rodney's room and hassles him about
refusing therapy. Rodney tells him that he quits. Rodney
says, "You don't get any points for being the strongest man in
a wheelchair."
Scene 4: Carolyn comes home and starts up the stairs and her mother,
Marsha tells her, "Come here right now." They talk. Carolyn
was supposed to come straight home after class. She was three
hours late.
Scene 5: Norman is closing the large double bi-fold door of the
motorcycle shop and Jeff walks over from the Shoreline and his
dune buggy. Jeff inquires of Rodney's health. They also talk
about Jeff's musical gigs at the Shoreline. Jeff sits on a
motorcycle and they continue to talk. Jeff says, "Norman, I
know it doesn't look good, Carolyn and I going into the
Shoreline alone. But nothing's going on."
Scene 6: On the wharf, Tom Winter is working. He cuts his hand on a
gaffing hook. Tom explains to Andy Davies, his boss, that he
scratched his hand on the gaffing hook. Andy says it looks
really bad. Andy strongly suggests that Tom go to the
hospital. Then Andy insists that Tom go to the hospital. He
threatens Tom if he doesn't follow orders. Norman rides up on
a motorcycle and asks what is going on. He offers Tom a ride
to the hospital and Tom accepts. The Peyton Place Arcade is in
the background. [Norman apparently has forgotten what happened
the last time he rode double].
Scene 7: In his office, Steven is talking on the phone. Dr. Rossi is in
the office waiting. He asks a favor of Steven. He wants
Steven to see Rodney and talk with him.
Scene 8: Tom Winter is in the hospital corridor. He runs into Dr. Rossi
who has come back from Steven's office. They talk. Rossi asks
Tom to go in and see Rodney. Tom thinks that people are giving
him things to do to get him back in the ministry. This is only
partially true. Tom Winter says, "Some people think they can
help me by shocking me."
Scene 9: Tom Winter goes in and talks with Rodney, who is sitting in a
wheelchair.
Preview: Nurse Paula Dixon tells Betty that Rodney has asked for a NO
VISITORS sign to be put on his room. He doesn't want to be
disturbed, not even by Betty. Steven talks to Rodney.
No: Mrs. Harrington. I don't know how to say this but he's
asked to have a "No Visitors" sign put on his door.
BA: And?
N: And, he doesn't want to be disturbed. He mentioned you
specifically.
SC: I still wear this, because that's the way I feel about
her. And I'm going to keep on wearing it until I know
how she feels, how she really feels.
