Dan Gets Arrested

Part 1

Scene 1: Reunion

Note: The arrest doesn't take place yet, but is just a reunion between some (not all) of the cast members.

*Enter: Courtroom*

Christine: Ah. I remember being in this courthouse very well. More than 30 years ago as a matter of fact.

(Harry walks in)

Harry: It's really amazing how time does fly by so fast. Seems like it was just yesterday when I first walked into this very courthouse as a young judge.

Christine: Har!

Harry: Chris!

Christine: How are you? Looking wonderful as always!

Harry: Well, I had to move because of Hurricane Katrina, so I no longer live in New Orleans anymore.

Christine: I heard. You live In North Carolina, right?

Harry: Unfortunately, yes. Asheville to be specific.

Christine: I know you miss Louisiana, but try to not look so down! Lighten up!

Harry: I'll try, even though I already got used to my new life at the time 10+ years ago.

Christine: Wonder how the others are doing?

Harry: What would make me happy is seeing the rest of the crew.

Christine: Speak of the devil...

*Both turn heads*

Harry: Who is that?

Christine: Looks like the new staffer.

Me: Hey you two!

Harry: Hey there! I heard you are the new court writer, right?

Me: Indeed I am! Always wanted to meet you two, you know.

Christine: You'll make a great writer for what's going on. I just know it.

Me: So this is where it all began?

Harry: Yes it is.

Christine: Want a tour of the place?

Me: Sure!

Christine: So this is the basement where I was held hostage by Dan Fielding.

Me: He had feelings for you.

Christine: Yes he did. I had feelings for him too and I was a love interest for him and he was a love interest for me.

Me: You would've made a great couple together, I could picture you with him.

Christine: I hope he comes by so that can happen.

Me: I hope so too.

End of Part 1.

Reunion: Part 2

Christine: So that's the courthouse. What do you think of it?

Mikaela: Looks exactly like the one on TV! Is it the same old set?

Christine: Why yes it is as a matter of fact!

Meanwhile, back in the courtroom...

Harry: Where's Fielding? He was supposed to be here any minute now.

Christine and the young staffer walk in.

Christine: Dan will be late. I just got a phone call from him.

Harry: Then where is he?

Christine: You don't need to know that Harry.

Harry storms off in anger.

Me: He's such a baby Christine.

Christine: He'll get over it once Dan comes.

A few minutes later...

Dan and Harry walk in.

Harry: So good to see you man!

Dan: I'm sorry that I am late and totally understand if you were mad at me. But please don't behave that way when something like this happens again.

Harry: I'll try not to.

Me: Has anyone heard from Mac, Roz, or Bull?

Harry: Bull's not coming.

Christine: But... why?

Harry: Me and Richard no longer get along anymore, so he is not a part of our court.

Dan: But that's just ridiculous! He needs to be in this courtroom no matter what happens.

Roz: Chill. I'll be in charge until Bull comes back.

Mac: Me too. But to make everyone happy, some of the old staff may be coming back as replacements for Bull.

Me: Harry and Dan just need to calm down, that's all. I'm friends with them.

Harry: Okay everyone! Time for our first official day of work! Let's go.

I could see this happening. Night Court was the best!

I could see this happening. Night Court was the best!

There's going to be a lot more.;)

There's going to be a lot more.;)

There's more? :yourock:

There's more? :yourock:

Yes. :)

Part 3: Rest In Peace Harry

The gang including myself stand inside the courthouse looking at what was Harry's bench.

Christine: I'll always miss Harry, you know that, right?

Me: Yes, and I was just starting to have a crush on him too.

Christine: Don't worry. You'll find another guy soon, I promise you that for sure.

Me: Well, I already have a crush on Dan Fielding, but don't tell him that. Okay?

Christine: Of course I won't. It will just be a secret between you and me.

Roz: I can't believe it's been a month now since Harry left us.

Dan: This is not Night Court without Harry, so I'm leaving for good.

Mac: Dan, listen. We can still go on without him, we'll just have to get a new judge, that's all.

Dan: But who? I don't know anyone who can replace him.

Me: I know someone.

Christine: Who?

Me: Judge Cindy Schneider.

Christine: That's great! Why don't we have her come in and she if she can prove us worthy of the position?

Me: Good thinking.

Christine: Everyone, let's take the time right now to remember why we are here today. We are here to remember a man who left behind a wonderful sense of humor, many laughs, and plenty of memories for us to remember.

Dan: Remember when Harry all showed us his finger trick?

Roz: Remember when Harry wondered where you were Christine the night of the costume party? And it turns out that Dan kidnapped you because of your relationship between you and him.

Christine: I wish that Harry never broke up with me. If he was still here, we would've been back together again.

Mac: You can always get back with Dan again Christine.

Christine: I don't want him holding me hostage in that dark basement.

Roz: Give dating a try. It won't hurt to.

Christine: Maybe I will. Thanks.

Roz: You're welcome. Let me know how it goes, okay?

Christine: Will do.
