Rodney in the hot tub.
WA: A few days ago, in the corridor of Doctors Hospital, young Lew
Miles told his father, Dr. Harry Miles, that he would return to
his extra-curricular science project. A decision which seemed
to carry with it a revival of Dr. Miles hopes that Lew
eventually would become a doctor himself. Now Lew waits along
with other honor students for miss Gladys Roberts, their
science teacher, but Lew's battle in himself is raging and is
about to make itself known.
Intro: Doctors Hospital. Science Lab. Miss Gladys Roberts.
Scene 1: The Science class, with lots of bottles, chemicals, and flasks,
and even a periodic table.
Scene 2: Lew, identifying himself as Dr. Miles, calls Harper Hospital,
in New York City, to inquire about the condition of a male

there is no change. Lew asks if he is still in a coma.
Annoyed, the nurse again says there is no change.
Scene 3: Dr. Miles is handed the toll charges for the New York call.
Miles is surprised, but not really.

Scene 7: Therapist, Chuck Atwell, is helping Rodney in the therapy hot
tub. Norman and Rita come in to visit. Rodney is dressed with
adequate modesty. Rita is wearing a strange hat.
Scene 8: Outside the water therapy room, Norman talks with Rita. Norman
tells Rita that he hopes Rodney and Betty separate. They walk
by the elevator. [There is now a water fountain and a cup
dispenser by the elevator. The obstruction near the elevator
would now be an OSHA violation. We were not blessed with OSHA
fanatics back then.]
Scene 9: At the Cider Barrel, Lew is cleaning tables. He reads the
paper. He tears out an item. Dr. Miles comes in and talks.
Lew slams his fist down.
Preview: Rev. Tom Winter talks to Lewis Miles. Ada talks to Rita. Fred
yells at Carolyn and she yells back.
TW: You should talk to your father about it.
LM: You're right.
TW: You think I won't listen because you're black and I'm
white?
AJ: That the kind of guy you married. You want to exchange
him for a lush. You mean you're not even talking to
Norman now?
FR: Carolyn, I will not permit you to go back by yourself.
CR: I don't want to stay here, do you understand that?
E. J. Cunningham, hit-and-run victim.
