Ok, this formed in my mind last night so I hope that it turns out all right...

(((station)))
M: Jinny! Is Jinny here?
K: She just left on a new case.
CD: Yeah, a real special case.
A: What is it?
K: It's about an orphan who won't stay in a foster home. She's 14, though...
M: Wow! Tough case. (Jinny appears behind her)
J: What case?
CD: Your's! Congrats!
J: Yeah, well... I don't understand her! She won't talk to me! I said, 'Hi! I'm Jinny, what's your name?' and she glared at me. It wasn't even a real question! Her name is Jo, and she's been in and out of foster homes for the past 10 years, that's all I know!
K: Whoa! Get her some water, Mag. (Magda leaves to get Jinny some water)
A: This must have really frazzled your nerves. I couldn't do it.
J: I feel so sorry for her, though. I think she wants to talk to me, she's just afraid to.
CD: She's also an orphan. You can't forget that!

I gotta go! What do you think?

------------------
J: Partners? You mean 50/50? Uh... 50/50...50?
B: Oh, good, Jo. We'll let you do the books!
.........................
B: I have had a most frightful mornin'!
J: You been lookin' in the mirror again?
B: At least my reflection appears in it!
.........................
J: I guess when you come from the wrong side of the tracks, guys think you're easy.
B: Let me tell you something, they think that when you come from the right side, too! Heck, I OWN the tracks and some of them think it about me!
.........................
B: So what you're sayong is that there are two knids of girls; the kind you marry and the kind you... don't.
.........................
N: E Pluribus Unum; have a nice day!

Great!!!!! Keep it up!!!!!!

J: Maybe... I don't know.
K: Look who's here. (Kate motions for the group to look at the door, where a 14 year old girl is standing.)
CD: Is that her?
J: Yep... wish me luck. (She crosses over to Jo.) Hi! Did you decide to come see me?
Jo: Don't talk to me like I'm 4. I'm 14!
J: Yeah... come here. There are some people that I want you to meet. (she tries to put her arm around Jo's shoulder, but she is brushed aside.)
J: Jo, this is Lieutenant Ramierez.
M: Hi.
Jo: Hi.

I gotta go... again... but I'll write more tomorrow!

------------------
J: Partners? You mean 50/50? Uh... 50/50...50?
B: Oh, good, Jo. We'll let you do the books!
.........................
B: I know a phony when I see one!
J: You should. You spend enough time looking at yourself in the mirror.
.........................
B: Mrs. Garrett said we could talk to her about anything and not be embaressed.
J: That was sex! This is personal!

Yeah! Write more! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

J: Lieutenant McCafferty.
K: Hello.
J: Lieutenant Reide.
A: Hi!
J: And Lieutenant DeLorenzo.
CD: Hi.
Jo: Hello, everybody. Lieutenant Exstead--
J: Jinny.
Jo: Jinny. What did you want to see me for?
J: Well, we're going to go in there- (motions to her office) and--
Jo: Who's we?
J: Me, you, and Lieutenant McCafferty. Anyway, we're going to go in there and talk about where you're going to go next.
Jo: Whaddya mean, "go next?" I'm gonna go to New York and--
J: Let's talk about this in my office. Okay? (Jo and Kate go into Jinny's office)
M: Wow.
J: See what I mean?
CD: Looks like you've got your hands full with that one.
A: I like her.
CD: (under breath) You like everybody.
A: I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
M: Me too.
CD: Good luck!
J: Thanks! I'm gonna need it!

great!! i cant wait to read the next part!~

------------------
Nat: Hello sailor!

Tootie: hot stuff coming through, and the pizza's are warm too!

Jinny: if you pinch my a$$ one more time, i'll kick your's

Jinny: i think i am going to give up men
Magda: you, give up sex?
Jinny: i didn't say i was giving up sex, i just said i was giving up men! to tell you the truth i kinda like the idea of becoming intamate with something that comes with a money-back gaurentee!

Blair: thunder thighs is hanging up her spikes...
Sue Ann: and you just gave me a great idea were to put them

Ok...
(((The next morning, Jinny comes running in, throws her coat on a chair, and bursts into Kat's office out of breath.)
K: Whoa! Jinny! Did you just run the 5K in 10 seconds or something?
J: Funny... (gasp) I want to ask you something.
K: That would be...
J: Can you see me as a mother?
K: (laughs) Not in this lifetime? Are you...
J: No. I want to adopt Jo. (Magda enters)
M: What's up?
K: Jinny wants to adopt Jo.
M: (laughs) Remember your plant?
J: Oh yeah... A kid is much easier to take care of. After a certain age, they can pretty much take care of themselves.
K: And you think that you could handle being a mother?
J: Yes.
K: What if I talked to the adoption agency, and talk them into letting you have a probationary period. I think that you and Jo are perfect for each other. She needs to be loved, and you can give that to her.
M: Now there you go, Jinny. The perfect reason to give up alcohol.
J: You're right, Mag. By the way, I told her to drop by today after school. I want to tell her.
K: I don't think that you should TELL her anything until we know something. You should ASK her to see what she thinks about it... who knows? Maybe she's the answer to our prayers.
J: What prayers?
M: Well, we need some help around here. Making coffee, filing reports. You get the idea. If the adoption goes through, well, Jo could help out around here.

------------------
J: Partners? You mean 50/50? Uh... 50/50...50?
B: Oh, good, Jo. We'll let you do the books!

Ok...
(Later that afternoon, C.D. and Angels are arguing about something.)
A: It was too!
CD: No it wasn't! I have been on the force for 14 years, I think I know more about this than you do.
M: (hands Jinny a $5 bill) Jinny, here's 5 bucks. Go buy an extra large bag of meow mix. We're gonna be needing it. (Jo enters carrying a stack of books)
Jo: Jinny!
J: She's here!
M: Hip...
CD: Hip...
A: Hooray.
K: Hi, Jo! Jinny, come here. (Jinny and Kate go into Kate's office)
J: Well...
K: It's a go! They think that you're the perfect woman for the job. She can go with you tonight. But, make sure she understands that she'll be expected to help out around here more than anything.
J: Okay! I'm gonna go tell her!
(She runs over to Jo and takes her books into her office)
J: Sit down. I need to talk to you about something very important.
Jo: Go ahead. I'm listening.
J: Well... I'm not exactly sure how to put this.
Jo: Do it like an anology. I like those. But, please don't use the droplet of water like Natalie on 'The Facts of Life' did last night. I hate that.
J: I can't do analogies. Sorry. Anyway, I think the reason you've been running away so much is because you want a real family. And you know what you want in a family, and, unfortunately, none of those familes were the kind that you were looking for. I think that we've found someone who you'll like.
Jo: I'd be happy if I could stay here with you and everyone else. This is as close to a real family that I've had since I was 4.
J: Well, I've talked to the adoption agency, and they said that if you were willing you could stay with me for a few months. Is that okay? Lieutenant McCafferty did set a few rules. Since I stay here to un- Godly hours of the night, you'd be expected to help out around here. Fill the coffee pot, file reports, take phone messages when we're gone, what not. Got it?
Jo: So, in other words, in order to stay with you, I have to be a gopher?
J: Yeah.
Jo: Okay. It's a deal. But, can I call everbody else by their real names? It gets kinda confusing.
J: Of course. Let's go.
(((The next week, Jinny, C.D., Angela, Magda, and Kate are all gone on a case. Jo is sitting at Jinny's desk. The phone rings. She reaches over and answers it.)))
Jo: Exstead. No, she can't come to the phone right now, can I take a message? Okay, Mr. O'Conner. I'll have her call you. Bye. (The group comes in through the door. C.D. and Angela are arguing)
CD: Let's face it, I saved your butt and you know it.
A: You did not! I was fine!
K: Could you guys shut up? I've got a really bad migrane.
J: Hey, Jo. Any messages?
Jo: Yeah, Mr. O'Conner called. He said to have you call him by 6:00. It's urgent.
J: Everything's urgent to that S.O.B. Sorry. Uh... do you want to go get dinner? I know that I haven't spent much time with you, and I apolgize for it.
Jo: No sweat. Can we eat anywhere?
J: Within reason. No dives please! I'm sick of grease! How about Chez Pierre?
Jo: Only if I don't have to eat snails! Eww! (Jinny opens the door her her and they exit laughing.)

This is really good. Keep it up!!

PLEASE KEEP IT UP!! this is really great! Oh and about this quote:

B: Mrs. Garrett said we could talk to her about anything and not be embaressed.
J: That was sex! This is personal!

Jo really says: She was talkin about Sex! This is personal!

Nat: Where'd ya get the beer?

Jo: I got the beer. Here's to all who wish me well, all the rest can go to.......Jersey.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

OK...
Jo: So then they moved me to Arizona, but I didn't like it much there, either. I don't know what it is... I just feel like, I don't know... it's weird. You know? I feel like if I stay with you, I'll never get hurt. So, you know everything that's worth telling about me. What about you?
J: Jo... I have a problem...

Bell rang!

B: You were a concert pianist?
R: Yeah, what's wrong with that?
B: On a regular size piano?

Jo: Hey... who doesn't?
J: Well... I happen to be an alcoholic... BUT I'm willing to give it up for you. I grew up without a mother, I know how it feels.
Jo: You'd do THAT for ME?
J: Yeah... I would... I realize that it's not going to be easy but if you help me... I think that I can get through it...
Jo: You know... I actually think that I'm gonna enjoy it here.
J: Right about now, I'd KILL for a dry martini... but since I'm giving it all up, a ginger ale and an ice cream cone will satisfy. (Magda comes in.)
M: Hey! Imagine seeing you two here!
J: Who you been talkin' to?
M: Kate told me. Uh...
Jo: Well... we were just leaving and we're headed to the ice cream parlor. Want to join us?
M: Jinny...
J: It's okay with me.
M: Very well... I'll come... (((ice cream parlor-- bathroom))) (Magda and Jinny are looking in the mirror.)
M: You know, Jinny. I can see you without alcohol... but not sex. What are you gona do? Wait until she's asleep and then sneak off to bars and then go home, have sex, set an alarm and get home before 6?
J: If, I'm gonna give up alcohol for her, I'm givin' up sex, too.
M: Is this where the heavy machinery comes into our conversation?
J: You really don't think I can do this. do you? No one does! Kate, C.D., Angela... I thought you'd be different, Mag. I guess I was wrong. (she leaves.) Jo, let's go! (((Jinny's car.)))
Jo: What's wrong?
J: Why would anything be wrong?
Jo: Well... mainly because you're acting like a selfish witch, and you haven't said a word to me. I'm the person that people open up to completely.
J: I just think... you're too young to know.
Jo: I may be fourteen, but I understand ALOT more than people think.
J: I know you do... it's just... Magda and I... They don't think that I can do it! They don't think that I can be a mother to you. What are we gonna do?
Jo: Well... the way I see it... We can either... end this-- right now! Or... we can make them eat their words.
J: I'm for the last one!
Jo: Me, too! Now, let's go home and get a good night's rest! We're gonna need it. We have a long day ahead of us... getting people to eat their words!

You guys... I PROMISE that I'll eventually finish it... I had NO idea that Jinny and Magda were gonna fight like that! No idea! LOL!
