'STANDING ON THE BRIDGE LATE THIS AFTERNOON IS MELISSA PALMER. WHENEVER SHE WALKS ON CAMPUS YOU MAY BE SURE SHE DRESSES TO FIT THE PART. NO, SHE ISN'T WEARING TIGHT PANTS AS MANY OF THE COEDS DO, BUT A STRAIGHT SKIRT, PULLOVER SWEATER AND CARDIGAN. ONE COULD VERY WELL MISTAKE HER FOR ONE OF THE STUDENTS. [...]'

Bill: "Oh it's you, I didn't recognize you. I just wondered who it was who threw something into the creek."
Missy (Intro Line): "Yes, it's me. Did you think I was-- one of the students?"

Tom: “I never told you I loved you, Pat.”
Pat: “You mean you mean we’re – we’re not going to be married?”
Tom: “I never mentioned marriage to you.”
Pat: “But you said – I thought you said –“
Tom: “I can’t help what you thought. I never mentioned the word love, nor marriage.”
Pat: “Oh God.”
Tom: “Look Pat –“
Pat: “I’m – I’m not – not really a whole woman to you anymore, am I. I’m sterile – sterile –”
Tom: “Pat. (WAY OFF IN THE DISTANCE, AS SHE STANDS ALMOST TRANSFIXED FOR THE MOMENT, SHE HEARS A BABY CRY.)”
Pat: “I lost – something. I lost – something –”
THE BABY CRY BECOMES LOUDER AND THE ROOM BEGINS TO BE FILLED WITH BABY CRIES.
Pat: “(SOFTLY) Stop it, oh God, stop it. I’m sterile – I’m sterile – (QUIETLY CRYING).”
SHE TURNS, AND STILL HEARING THE BABY CRY, WITH HER HANDS TO HER EARS AS THEY WERE ONCE BEFORE, SHE MAKES HER WAY TO THE DOOR – AND AS SHE DOES HER EYES GO TO THE CHAIR WHERE THERE ARE FRANK’S CLOTHES. ON TOP OF THE CLOTHES IS A SMALL GUN. SHE PUTS HER HANDS DOWN, PICKS UP THE GUN. SHE LOOKS AT IT AND TURNS IT TOWARD HERSELF. TOM, FRIGHTENED, TAKES A STEP TOWARD HER.
Tom: “Patricia – the gun may be loaded – (SHE ISN’T LOOKING AT HIM, SHE DOESN’T HEAR HIM, SHE JUST HAS HER HAND ON THE GUN TURNED TOWARD HER.)”
Tom: “Hurting yourself won’t solve anything, Pat, not anything. (HE TAKES ONE MORE STEP TOWARD HER. HE’S NOT REAL CLOSE TO HER. HE HOLDS OUT HIS HAND.)”
Tom: “Patricia – Pat, give me the gun. (SHE LOOKS AT HIM WITH UNSEEING EYES. THE ROOM IS STILL FILLED WITH BABY CRIES.)”
Tom: (Exit Line) “Give me the gun, Pat. (SHE TURNS THE GUN AS THOUGH TO HAND IT TO HIM, AND THEN PULLS THE TRIGGER TWICE. SEE A STARTLED LOOK ON TOM’S FACE AND HE FALLS. THE BABY CRIES STOP WITH THE FALL OF THE BODY. HER ARM GOES TO HER SIDE, SHE STILL HOLDS THE GUN. SHE LOOKS AHEAD OF HER WITH UNSEEING EYES. CUT TO TOM’S BODY, AND TAKE IT OUT.)”

FADE IN: INTERIOR FARMHOUSE PARLOR. OPEN ON TIGHT SHOT OF MAGGIE, WITH WEDDING VEIL. SHE IS BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL. UNDER, WE HEAR: SOUND OF SOFT ORGAN MUSIC. DO A SLOW PULL BACK TO SHOW MAGGIE ON STOOL, IN HER LONG DRESS, HER APPEARANCE ALMOST SPIRITUAL FRAMED AGAINST FLOWERS AND THE SOFT, FLICKERING CANDLES. CONTINUE TO PULL BACK AND SHOW MRS. JENNINGS AT ORGAN(much like Clarke Morgan on AW when Bill and Missy were married), AND THE REVEREND JENNINGS BEHIND THE FLOWER-BANKED ALTAR AREA, A TABLE WITH BIBLE, CANDELABRAS, ETC... HANK STANDS NEAR MAGGIE. NOW MICKEY WALKS THROUGH THE PARLOR DOOR, STOPS, REACTS TO THE SIGHT OF HIS BRIDE-TO-BE. THEN HE WALKS TO HER SIDE, SHE SMILES RADIANTLY AT HIM, HIS EYES ARE BRIGHT WITH LOVE AND ADMIRATION. THE MUSIC STOPS.)
REV. JENNINGS: Dearly Beloved, we are gathered today to witness a wedding between Margaret Simmons and Marty Hanson. And as a wedding present to you, Marty, your bride-to-be has written the ceremony words.
(MICKEY LOOKS AT MAGGIE, SHE SHYLY SMILES AT HIM. NOW, SOFTLY, UNDER THE WORDS, MRS. JENNINGS PLAYS "THE LILAC TREE" AND "I LOVE YOU TRULY", IF THERE IS TIME. AS THE MINISTER READS, WE DO A SERIES OF TAKES, DWELLING LOVINGLY ON CLOSE SHOTS OF MAGGIE, MICKEY, HANK. ALL REACT TO THE WORDS, THE SIMPLE BEAUTY OF THE OCCASION. HANK HAS TEARS IN HIS EYES. ALSO, INTERCUT TAKES OF REV. JENNINGS AND MRS. JENNINGS. IT WILL BE A FLOW SEQUENCE, AS WE SOFTLY SHIMMER & DISSOLVE FROM ONE FACE TO THE OTHER. AS A PRELUDE TO THE CEREMONY, MAGGIE SOFTLY SINGS)
MAGGIE: "First love's like a lilac tree, with shy spring buds for all to see, a gentle hint of what will be at blossom time, on a wedding day."
REV. JENNINGS: We are here in the sight of God and in the face of this company, and in the unseen presence of those who are ever close, to unite in holy matrimony two people who have chosen, from this day forward, to be one, together throughout time and eternity. As gentle rain falls to the earth, inviting the buds and blossoms of God's greenery to emerge, welcome, so have the gentle blessings from above fallen, to foster and future an enduring love to be shared by Maggie and Marty. From the darkness of yesterdays, the lonely pain of past and solitude has come a shimmering flame of hope to light the way for tomorrows without end, radiant with joy and happiness. To be a bird and soar in free ecstasy, to be a cloud and flat across the canvas of an endless sky, to walk together, to run together, to live together, to love together. This is the pattern of Heaven's tapestry, the gift He gives with the blessing of marriage. We ask not for chains or vows for they are not needed in this union. The simple clasp of hands will be shelter, one to the other, forever.
(TIGHT SHOT OF MICKEY AND MAGGIE AS SHE HOLDS OUT HER HAND, HE TAKES IT, HOLDS IT TIGHTLY).
REV. JENNINGS: Love is faith. Faith is hope. Hope is belief. And belief is love, in the golden ring of true constancy. Have you such a ring, Marty Hanson?
(TAKE MICKEY AS HE TOUCHES HIS POCKET, BUT DOESN'T BRING RING OUT)
MICKEY: I have.
REV. JENNINGS: And you, Maggie Simmons?
(TAKE MAGGIE AS SHE INDICATES A WEDDING BAND THAT RESTS WITHIN HER BRIDAL BOUQUET)
MAGGIE: I have.
REV. JENNINGS: Dear God, we who have so much can ask for nothing more, save Your divine favor and protection for the years they shall travel together, no longer alone, but one.
(NOW MRS. JENNINGS AGAIN PICKS UP "LILAC TREE" AS MAGGIE STARTS TO SING)
MAGGIE: "Last love's like an old oak tree, still strong and proud with majesty, its branches bent protectingly, a family tree, stately old oak tree."
REV. JENNINGS: Into the holy estate of matrimony these two persons present ask now to be joined. If anyone can show just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let him now speak or else hereafter forever hold his peace.
(THERE IS A LONG DRAMATIC PAUSE, THEN REV. JENNINGS CONTINUES)
REV. JENNINGS: The rings?
(MICKEY PLACES HIS RING ON MAGGIE'S FINGER. SHE PLACES HER RING ON HIS)
REV. JENNINGS: With this simple act, and by virtue of the authority vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. And let no one put asunder those who have thus been joined together in the presence of God and his company.
(NOW THE ORGAN SWELLS IN THE TRADITIONAL WEDDING SONG. MICKEY GENTLY REMOVES THE VEIL FROM MAGGIE'S RADIANT FACE. HE BENDS AND SOFTLY KISSES HER. DISSOLVE TO: EXTERIOR FARMHOUSE BACK PORCH. JAY APPROACHES, REACTS TO THE ORGAN MUSIC. CUT BACK TO PARLOR AS HANK KISSES THE BRIDE, THEN SHAKES HANDS WITH MICKEY. MR. AND MRS. JENNINGS GO TO THE HAPPY COUPLE, EXTENDING THEIR BEST WISHES. BRING JAY TO THE PARLOR DOOR, UNSEEN BY ANYONE. HE REACTS TO MAGGIE IN HER WEDDING GOWN. IT IS OBVIOUS TO HIM WHAT'S JUST HAPPENED. AND ON HIS REACTION: FADE TO BLACK)

Television Announcer(this could either Walter Cronkite or Chet Huntley, since David Brinkley didn't do stories like that, only Washington-area topics such as the White House, U.S. Congress, and the Pentagon. ): "...Now, turning to the local scene...Bay City police are still baffled by the disappearance of a twenty-one year old girl. (LIZ, WHO HAS BEEN ONLY HALF-LISTENING, PERKS UP AT THIS) "Melissa Palmer of 2040 Sherman Street in the University section, was recently in the news when she became the heiress to a considerable estate left by a friend, San Francisco socialite Mrs. Katherine Corning. A sidelight of the case, intriguing, but so far, unconnected with Miss Palmer's disappearance, was the fact that she was to have been married the next day. Several theories involving foul play are being checked out -- including a suspicion of kidnapping -- but police admit that there is no material evidence to support any such suspicion..."
Liz: (SOFTLY, SMILING TO HERSELF) "Nor will there be..."
Television Announcer: "Even though the girl's room had apparently been ransacked, police discounted robbery as an explanation, because nothing of any value seemed to be missing. Miss Palmer's parents are dead.: she lived alone in a rented room and was a student at the State University."

All I knew how to do is try to control, and I would control you and somehow I would make you love me....And, when I was sure that you really loved Ed, I just totally lost control and I regretted that every day of my life, and every moment since, because I had destroyed the only woman that I could ever love...(He holds her dress close to him as he says this.) And now, I seem to have this opportunity to make some small amends and I never thought I'd have that chance. I don't know what dark force is moving you to be with me tonight, but I know that I am responsible for it and I know that I will never, never hurt you like that again. You don't want to make love to me, Holly; you don't. And I can't believe it but I can't make love to you because, in some way I don't even begin to understand, I would be forcing you against your will again and I will never, oh God, I will never, ever, ever hurt you like that again."
