Scene 1:

(Takes place on Christmas Eve at Jo and Rick's house) Approx. 10 years after
the end of The Facts of Life

Jo: Rick, please hurry and get ready. Blair and Cliff (Blair's husband) are
waiting for us at their house with Julia.(Blair's daughter; she's 7)
Jo: You know, women are supposed to take an hour to get ready, not men!
(Chuckles while saying it)
Rick: (mumbled cause of the toothpaste, in his mouth) What's the rush, Hun?
Jo: What's the rush? Oh nothing, except that Blair is hosting a Christmas
Eve party, as always, and she wants everyone to be on time. She hasn't been
late for anything a day in her life! Besides, you NEVER take this long to
get ready. How come?
Rick: Uh, I don't know, I guess I'm just in a clean mood today! (laughing)
Jo gives him a weird look.
Jo stands in the bathroom, while Rick is still bruising his teeth.
Jo: (sniffing) Rick, is that new cologne you have on?
Rick: Yeah, I kinda thought it would be nice for the Christmas party.
Jo: And why don't you wear new cologne for me?
Rick: Well, this cologne is for you, too!
Jo: Oooookaaay (With a confused look on her face)
Jo: (thinking to herself) Oh great, if I notice new cologne, so will Blair.
She doesn't miss things like that. That's all I need is for her to put her
two cents in our relationship. What am I talking about? Blair's not like that! At least I don't
think she is. What's wrong with me? Of course she's not; she's too good of a
friend for that.
Jo: You know Rick, I can't wait until I see everyone again! (Jo sees Blair
often, but not everyone else)
Rick: I know, I can't wait until I see Blair! (Gets a pale look on his face
that Jo notices)
Jo: Oh really, how come?
Rick:Uhh, oh, just because I promised her I would fix her hall light fixture.
You know how Blair hates doing all that handyman kinda stuff.
Jo: Oh yeah, I know! (thinking back)
Jo: Geez, how long does it take for you to brush your teeth!
Rick: (With a look of aggravation) OK, OK, I'm done! (slams his toothbrush
case down, and walks out).
Jo: (Says with attitude) Oh, here's your coat, sweetie. (Takes his coat and
throws it at him and a piece of paper falls out. Rick doesn't notice it but
Jo does. She stuffs it in her pocket)
Jo and Rick have been fighting a lot lately, but they both have been trying
to work it out. The last thing any of them want is a divorce. Or do they?

Scene 2:

At Blair's Doorstep

Jo rings the Bell

Jo: And this time Rick, you mind sticking to me, instead of Blair and all her
snobby, stuff-shirt, I'm better than you, with a college degree, friends?
Rick: WHAT?! I don't stick around them, they're the ones that come to me and
strike up a conversation!
Jo: You know Rick, I'm getting a little tired of your sh-
Blair and Cliff arrive at the door.
Blair notices the tension on thier faces, but doesn't say anything.
Blair: Hi, guys, come on in. You both look great!!
Jo hugs Blair and Cliff, and gives Blair a kiss on the cheek.
Jo: Have the others gotten here yet?
Blair: Well, some. Natalie is in the kitchen, helping Mrs. Garrett make
cookies for the party.
Jo: Doesn't that woman ever stop! She's forever making something!
Blair: I know, I told her to come and enjoy herself at the party, but she just
won't listen. You know how Mrs. Garrett is!
Jo: I sure do. (thinks back again to all the different times Mrs. Garrett
played Grandmother and Cook)
Blair: Jo, do you think you can get Mrs. Garrett out here and enjoy herself?
Jo: I KNOW I can! (says it with her JO laugh) hehe
Jo: OK, but first, where's Julia?
Julia comes running from behind her mom.
Julia: JO!!!!!!!!!!
Jo: Hey, Jules.
Julia: I missed you Jo, wanna go help me with my bicycle?
Jo: No, sorry maybe another time. I'm here for Blair's party. I can't go
getting dirty now!
Julia: UGH, OK!
Jo: Besides, Julia, is that all you think of is your bike? (with a chuckle)
Blair: Well, look who's calling the kettle black! (laughs) You were always
working on that bike of yours. I can easily remember the very first time you
showed up at peekskill. With your bike parked outside and strutting into the
kitchen helmet in hand. (Blair thinks back to The New Girl episode.)
Jo: Yea, we all know how much of a tomboy I was back then.
Blair: And still are!
Jo: Hey! chuckles
Jo: I'm gonna go catch up with the others.
Rick: OK, I'll just hang around here and talk with Blair for a little while.
Jo shoots Rick a nasty look, and Rick shoots one right back.
Jo walks into the kitchen to find Mrs. Garrett at the stove, Natalie taking
the cookies out of the oven, and Tootie walking in the back door.
Jo walks over to Mrs. G and gives her a big hug!! Then gives a hug to
Natalie.
Jo: Hi tootie, what took you so long?
Tootie: I was stuck in traffic. It's horrible out there! Christmas Eve is
crazy!
Jo: Oh, I understand! Nat, how's your 2nd novel coming and writing for The
Division coming?
Nat: The novel is coming along pretty good, actually, The Divison just needs
some work!
Jo: Oh Natalie, are you gonna have me doing all kinds of stupid stuff on that
show? You know whatever you write the editiors make me do!
Nat: Don't worry, I just got writer's block, that's all. But I've got some
ideas running through my head, and whatever I choose to write, IT WILL be
good!
Jo: Oh good, that's a relief. I thought you were gonna have me doing
something dumb and embarass me!
Nat: Did you really think I would do that?
Jo: Nah, I know you wouldn't. Calm down, I was just playin!
Nat: Oh, OK!
Jo: So, Mrs. G, how are you?
Mrs. G: I'm good, Jo. What about you?
Jo: Well, Rick and I are having our problems.
Mrs. G: Oh, I'm sorry too hear that.
Jo: Yeah, he's starting to act really suspicious.
Mrs. G: Well, what do you mean?
Jo: Nah, it's nothing major, really, it's just little things. Like the way he
does stuff too annoy the heck out of me. That's the only reason he does it
is because he knows it bothers me.
Nat: Yeah, I never liked that Rick guy from the day I met him. I just never
said anything about it. He gave me a weird feeling I couldn't explain. Like
he's evil.
TOGETHER Jo, Mrs. G, and Tootie say:
NATALIE!!
Nat: What? I'm sorry Jo, it's just the feeling I got in the pit of my
stomach, I'm telling you. Call it woman's intuition, but he's gonna end up
causing you pain, Jo, trust me. You just don't see it now, cause you're
blinded by love. I'm not trying to hurt you. I just wanna prepare you.
Nat: Like I said, I never liked him, I just didn't want to tell you because I
knew you wouldn't believe me, Jo.
Jo: Oh, so, you let me marry EVIL, right Nat? You are so wrong, he's not
evil! If anyone's evil, you are!
Mrs. G: Easy Jo!
Jo: (stops yelling abruply, and sighs) You're right Mrs. G. (look of
disappointment in herself) Nat, I'm sorry I snapped at you, I'm just under a
lot of stress right now, but that doesn't excuse it. I'm really sorry Natalie!
Nat: Hey I understand and I shouldn't have said all that stuff to you about
Rick.

Jo: Truce?
Nat: Truce!

Scene 3:

Back in the Living Room

Blair: So Rick, how's married life with you and Jo.
Rick: It's OK, we just fight a little bit here and there, you know, little
things.
Blair: Yeah I know, me and Cliff argue a lot too, but we always work it out!
Rick: Yeah, well, I'm not so sure this is gonna work out.
Blair: What do you mean? Are you planning on getting a divorce?
Rick: Well, I want one, but I haven't told Jo about it yet. She just thinks
we'll keep working it out.
Blair: The stuff you guys argue about, is it really enough to make you guys
get a divorce? Hey wait a minute, isn't that new cologne you have on?
Rick: Yeah, I wore it for you. You know how I feel about you Blair, and I'm
just married to Jo to stay close to you.
Blair: Huh, what, whoa wait a minute, are you saying you are in love with me?
I mean, I knew you were into me way back when when we dated, but I never
figured you were in love with me now!
Rick: That's exactly what I'm saying, Blair. I love you.
Blair: Wait a minute, this is too much, I am in love with Cliff, my husband,
not you! And our relationship ended years ago. I'm just angry at myself for
not telling Jo that we dated way back when I was a student in Peekskill!
Rick: Then why do you think I want a divorce? Look, I managed to get your
new cell phone number, before you found out, and I stuck it in my coat
pocket. So I thought I would call you the other day, but Jo kept hanging
around. Look it's as simple as this. I love you, no matter what happens, we
WILL be together.
Blair: I don't even think Jo knows what kind of a person she married!!
Blair: Do you have any idea how Jo's gonna act? When she finds out you were
coming on to me, she'll kick your butt!! Besides, I love Cliff and Jo too
much to hurt either of them like that! You understand me?
Rick: OK, OK, I'll back off!
Blair: Good, because I plan on telling Jo just exactly that you were coming
on to me. And I only pray she'll believe me!

Scene 4:

Back in the kitchen

Mrs.G: Good, now that we're all getting along again, let's get back to working
on the cookies for the party.
Jo: No!!! Let's not!! The cookies can wait.
Mrs.G: Huh?
Jo: Come with me! ( gently grabs Mrs. Garretts arm, and leads her into the
living room. Still with her apron on with flour on it)
Mrs. G: What are you doing Jo?
Jo: WATCH!!
Jo: Wait right here.
Jo leaves Mrs. Garrett standing in the doorway, and goes over to the D.J.
Jo: Do you see that woman over there by the doorway?
DJ: Yes.
That's Mrs. Garrett, and she is always working her butt off in the kitchen,
and I think she needs to let loose a little. She does everything for
everybody! Do you have a good song for her?
DJ: Yep, the best!
DJ whispers the song to Jo
Jo: That's perfect! Can you play it next?
DJ: You got it!
Jo: OK, great, thanks!
Can I use your microphone for a second?
DJ: Sure.
Jo waits till the current song ends then speaks into the mic.
Some feedback
Jo clears her throat.
Jo: Um.....excuse me, but I have an announcement to make. Just a second.
Jo goes and gets Mrs. Garrett and brings her on stage.
Mrs. G: What is this Jo?
Jo: Just trust me Mrs. G.
Jo back at mic.
Jo: This woman is Mrs. Edna Garrett, she does everything for everybody, and
she needs to let loose and have some fun. (said in a funny voice, with a big
smile on her face) Mrs.G., you deserve some respect!
Jo leads her off stage.
Jo, Blair, Natalie and Tootie get on stage, as the start of Aretha Franklin's
song "Respect" starts to play. All four start to sing and dance on stage,
while Mrs. G stands back and watches. At the end of the song, the whole room
starts to clap.
Jo wispers to Blair.
Jo: See Blair, I told you I could get Mrs. G out of the kitchen!
Blair laughs

Scene 5:

Blair takes Jo aside to tell her about Rick, while everyone else is back on
the dance floor partying!

Blair: Jo, I need to talk to you.
Jo: Sure Blair, what is it?
Blair: Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but Rick came on to me.
Jo: Blair, you always misunderstand things like this. Are you sure you got
it right?
Blair: Of course I got it right. He told me flat out, he loves me, not you.
Doesn't come any clearer than that!
Jo: Blair, you are really good at getting things mixed up, are you sure
you're not saying this just to get to me, because you're really the one who's
in love with him, NOT the other way around?
Blair: Jo, would I ever purposley do anything to hurt you? He told me he had
my cell number in his coat pocket, from a few days ago.
Jo: Yeah, well, when I flung him his coat this morning, a piece of paper fell
out. I saw a girl's phone number on it. I didn't recognize it. Stop lying,
that's NOT your cell phone number!
Blair: Jo, yes it is!!! I got my number changed!
Long pause
Jo: Oh.
Another long pause
Jo: Then why didn't you give it to me? You gave it to him first!! Huh,
explain that?
Blair: Jo, that's because he got my number somehow, but I NEVER gave it to
him, I swear. And I didn't have the time to give it to you, yet. Please
believe me!
Jo: OK, OK, I believe you!
Blair: He said he wanted to call me recently but you kept hanging around him,
he didn't have the chance to. Jo, I swear to GOD, that's what he said, I
would never do or say ANYTHING to hurt you, you're my best friend!!
Jo: Alright, I'm glad you told me! Now I'm gonna go have a little talk with
my HUSBAND!
Jo starts to get up, Blair touches her arm. They look at each others eyes. Jo
slowly sits back down, with a look of hurt.
Jo: There's more to this, isn't there? (voice shaky)
Blair: Yes there is, Jo.
Jo: What is it?
Tears start to well up in Jo's eyes.
Blair: This isn't the time nor the place, come with me.
Blair walks ahead of Jo, holding Jo's hand, Jo follows.
They both go out onto the balcony of Blair's lavish mansion.
Jo: Ok, Blair, now will you please tell me what it is, before I have a heart
attack!
Blair: (Sighs) OK! Here it is! Rick, told me he wants a divorce from you!
Jo: WHAT! Everything in our relationship is fine! Sure we argue, but what
couple doesn't?
He knows that you don't want him, even though he wants you.
Blair: I know, but wait, there's more.
Jo: MORE?? How much more can I take?
Blair: I'm sorry, but I think you need to know the WHOLE truth.
Jo: Ok, go on.
Blair: There's one last thing.
Jo: What?
Blair: Do you remember how many guys I used to date, way back when we lived
in Peekskill?
Jo: Yeah, what about it?
Blair:Well........Rick was one of them.
Jo: What?
Look of hurt across Jo's face.
Jo: Was this while we were going together?
Blair: No, of course not! It was right before you guys got together.
Jo: Oh.
Breathing a little easier now.
Jo: If you'll excuse me, I've got a husband to go find!
Blair: And Jo?
Jo: Yeah?
Blair: I'm sorry.
Jo: I know, thank you.
Blair and Jo hug. Jo starts to cry.
Blair: You've gotta stop crying. You can't let him know he got to you.
Blair: Yeah, you're right.
Blair helps Jo wipe the tears from her eyes.
Jo: I guess I should be happy about one thing.
Blair: What's that?
Jo: I don't have any kids, yet, so they don't have to go through the divorce.
Blair: That's true. Look, just go up to him, and say what's in your heart.
But take this piece of advice first.
Jo: What?
Blair: Wait until after Christmas. Try to have a happy holiday with your
friends, ok?
Jo: Ok, and thanks so much for ALL your help, I really appriciate it.
Blair: Hey, what are friends for?
They manage to get out a half-crooked smile!
Both go ahead, and enjoy the rest of the night.

Scene 6:

Day after Christmas

Jo and Rick are laying in bed on the morning after Christmas. Jo asks Rick
FLAT OUT, why he wants to cheat on her with Blair.
(Jo is playing with Rick's hair while lying in bed, acting as if nothing is
wrong) Then she asks as casual as ever.

Jo: So, why so you feel the need to go and break my heart, by imagining you're
sleeping with Blair when you're sleeping with me?
Rick: What? I never said that!
Jo: You don't have to. I know you a lot better now than I did on Christmas
Eve.
Rick: What's THAT suppose to mean?
Jo: You can't figure it out? Were you or were you not, DUMB enough to tell
Blair how you feel about her, KNOWING she would tell me? I mean REALLY, how
dumb can you get?!
Rick: There's nothing dumb about confessing one's love for another.
Jo: You know....why would you....I only wish....ugh, I don't even know what
to say to you!
Short pause
Jo: (Sighs) Look, this is hard ENOUGH for me, without your confusing mind
games.
Rick: Why are you making such a big deal out of this?
Jo: Um, I don't know, maybe because it IS a big deal!
Jo: My GOD, quit toying with my emotions already! Now you've got ME
confused! Just do me a favor, please, & answer this question.
Rick: (answering sarcasticly) OK, what?
Jo: Why did you marry me if you never loved me, and all this time you loved
Blair?
Rick: Simple. You jump from guy to guy so much, if I didn't marry you, I'd
be out of Blair's life forever. You would end up going to another guy, and I
would have no reason to stick around. So you see, I had to marry you, just so
I could see Blair. And I couldn't very well marry her, 'cause she was already
married. This way, at least I get to see her a lot!
Jo: I jump from guy to guy too much? What about Blair, before she was
married? You know how many guys she dated, you were one of them!
Rick: Yes, but it was worth a try.
Jo gets up off the bed, and slaps Rick, right across the face!
Jo: I've got one more thing to say to you, you obsessed loser weirdo! Blair
is married. Whether you go through me or not, to get to Blair, don't you
realize you won't get her? Look, this marrage has been a waste of time and
energy. Don't you know, that I LOVED YOU at one point, I REALLY LOVED YOU.
That's why I married you. That's the reason why anyone marrys someone, it's
because they love them. Not because you wanna use them too get to someone
else. Oh yeah, and one more thing. I am no longer gonna be the pawn you use
to get to Blair. Blair and I are like this (crosses her fingers). And I can
promise you, the day will NEVER come, when Blair and I, let a MAN come
between our friendship. As of today, I'm a free woman. And as of next week,
I'm legally a free woman. (day of there court date)
Rick: OK, I got it, Geez!
Jo: Looks like you got burned on both ends, huh? Neither Blair nor I want
you. Umm, now don't you feel lonely? ( Says it with her usual laugh, but
underneath she's really, really, hurting.) But she wasn't about to let him
know that!
Just then, the phone rings. It's Blair.
Jo: Hello. (as cheerful as possible)
Blair: Hi, Jo. Wait, you're never that cheery. Are you alright?
Jo: Yep.
Blair: You can't talk cuase Rick's there, right?
Jo: Yep.
Blair: Jo, meet me somewhere so we can talk, ok?
Jo: Yep.
Blair: How about my balcony at my house? That's a really good place to talk.
Jo: OK, I'll be there in 10 min.
Blair: OK, and hurry, I know you're not as happy as you act!
Jo: OK, I will, bye!
Blair: Bye.

Scene 7:

Blair's balcony

Blair: Jo! Glad to see you!
Jo: Yeah, I'm glad to see you too! I really need my best friend right now.
They hug. Blair pats Jo on the back.
Jo starts bawling, while still hugging Jo.
Jo: I loved him, soo much. How could he do this to me?
Blair: Oh, Jo, it'll be alright. Trust me, everything will be alright.
Jo: I know I just need some time.
Just then, Jo's cell phone rings. It's Natalie.
Jo: Hello. (trying to hide the sound of crying in her voice, but it didn't
work)
Nat: Hi, Jo. Are you ok?
Jo: Yeah, I'm fine. What did you want, Nat?
Nat: Nothing, really, just wanted to ask you how you are, and what happened
with Rick.
Jo: Oh, it's a long story, but basically you were right with the whole
woman's intuition thing. Once again, I'm sorry, I NEVER should have snapped
at you!!
Nat: Jo, Jo, Jo, it's alright, I understand, really!
Jo: OK, thank you. Well, I'm gonna finish talking to Blair, thanks for
caring & I'll call you when I can, and tell you the whole story, OK?
Nat: OK, bye Jo.
Jo: Bye Nat.
Blair: So, now what? Are you gonna divorce him?
Jo: Oh, heck yes. He's a loser. You know, I just thought of something.
Blair: What?
Jo: It turns out, you were right, when you said what you said to me when we
were younger.
Blair: OK, refresh my memory, what did I say?
Jo: Oh, I know you don't mean it now, but we had had a fight, and you said
that I would never amount to anything. And you always looked down on me,
because you were rich, and I wasn't. I know it was years ago, and you didn't
mean it, but you were right nevertheless.
Blair: Jo, no, no, no, I wasn't. I was wrong. I was young, dumb, and
selfish. You have tons of good qualities. Let me name some off. You may
have a jerk for a husband, but you are a great wife. You love my daughter
Julia, you treat her like she's your niece, you might as well say we're
sisters. You are a great actress on you're television show. You have lots
of friends. And oh, I can't forget, you're great with a gun, too!
Jo: Laughs
Blair: Is that enough qualities for you?
Jo: Geez, I'm gonna get a swelled head! (laughs)
Blair: No, you won't, you're too modest for that!
Jo: Yeah, still, maybe I should change some of my ways. I'm a little rude
sometimes, and I can also be bossy and demanding! My ways only get me into
trouble.
Blair: So, everyone has faults. Please whatever you do, don't change! Please
don't change, stay just the way you are!
Jo: OK, Blair, if you say so! Let's go to my house and see if Rick's there.
I doubt it! He's probably mad, hanging at his friend's house.
(In Jo's car on the way to her house. Jo's driving).
Jo: Blair?
Blair: Yeah?
Jo: Do you think I'll ever be lucky at love and life? I mean everything just
keeps going wrong.
Blair: Of course I do, just relax and be yourself, and everything will go
you're way. Don't try to live for anyone else, just live for yourself, and
you'll do fine.
Jo: Great advice Blair, thanks!
Blair: No problem.
The both arrive at Jo's house.
They walk in.
Jo: Well, the chicken's not here!
Blair: I didn't expect him to be!
Jo: Oh, whatever, forget him. I'm gonna go get ready for work.
Blair: OK, we'll talk more later, bye!
Jo: Bye, and thanks again!

Scene 8:

Jo arrives at work, The Division set.
DIVISON SUMMARY: Jo plays a character named Jinny, who is a cop, and works
the beat mostly at night. She has a drinking problem, it's starting to
affect her work. She has to either quit drinking or get fired from her job.
And she's risking losing her man, Teddy a detective , also because of her
drinking!

Jinny acting on the Divison:

Jinny: So Teddy, are we going to see each other tonight, after I'm off work?
Teddy: I guess so.
Jinny: What does that mean? What, you really don't wanna see me tonight, is
that it? If that's it, just tell me!
Teddy: Well, Jinny, I'm kinda getting the feeling you don't wanna be around
me.
Jinny: Why do you get that feeling?
Teddy: Just because when you drink, you don't act like yourself. And you act
like you don't even know me. It scares me, Jinny. You're gonna end up
drinking yourself too death. You drink shot after shot, and I'm afraid
you're gonna die!
Jinny: But I'm a different person when I'm sober, don't you understand that?
Teddy: Yes, but you're also a different person when you're not sober! I don't wanna
have to adjust from sober to drunk every time I wanna see you. It's too much
for me!
Teddy's gradually raising his voice as he speaks to Jinny. All the while, all
this is going on in Jinny's cubical at her office at The Division.
Jinny: Teddy, calm down, people are starting to take notice!
Teddy is yelling now!
Teddy: I don't care! I love you too much to let you waste you're life, it's
not gonna happen, you understand me, Jinny? I'm not gonna let you kill
yourself. What would I do without you?
Jinny: So what are you saying you don't want to see me anymore?
Teddy: (Pauses) What I'm saying is, you have an ultimatium. Either your
drinking..... or me!
Scene fades out.
Director: Annnnd cut! Break for commerical! Jo!
Jo: Yeah.
Director: That scene was awsome! You did the whole thing in one take!
Jo: Yeah, well, it's easy when you have an actor like him to work with!
Both of them blush!
Jo, starts to fall for Teddy, (in really life, not the show!!)

Scene 9:

One year later.

After the divorce, Jo falls in love with Teddy, and they start to date!

Set of The Divison, again. It's lunch break.

Jo: Teddy, do you have any idea how great it is to work with you on set in
the day, and be with you for real, in real life?
Teddy: Yes I do, I feel the same way!
Jo: It's awsome, to think, at one time I wasn't happy, but now I'm happy just
to be alive!
Director: OK, break over let's get back to work people!
On the set, Jinny and Teddy are getting ready to act.
Director: Ready, role tape, and action!
Teddy: So, it's official now, right, you've chosen me over you're drinking?
Jinny: Oh yes, Teddy I love you more than that dumb bottle! As long as I keep
goin to my AA meetings, that Magda put me in, I should be fine! I can't
believe I ever even considered taking a bottle over you!
Teddy: Good! Oh, yes, that reminds me! Thanks Magda for caring so much about
my Jinny!
Magda: Hey, it's no problem, I love her too, and I didn't want to see her get
hurt, so I demanded Jinny go to those AA meatings! I'll tell you right now,
it wasn't easy with her, but I finally got her to go! Really it was no
trouble at all, I did it for Jinny!
Teddy: Yeah, well thanks again, Magda!
Magda: No problem, really!
Director: CUT!! Perfect, Perfect, Perfect! You guys are so good at this.
Take 5! Heck, take 10! We got extra time!!
At the end of the day. Teddy walks Jo to her car.
Teddy: Jo, are we still on for tonight?
Jo: Yes! Of course, I'll meet you at your place!
Teddy: OK, see ya then!
They kiss for awhile.
Jo says bye to Teddy, and gets in her car. Just as Teddy starts to walk away,
he hears a gun shot!! He turns around in slow motion, to see Jo's car
windshield with a big bullet hole in it. Also in slow motion, Teddy says:"N
o o o o o!"
Regular speed now!
Teddy: Jo!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my GOD, Jo!!
Teddy runs to her car. He whips the door open. Stands there in shock, to see
Jo leaning back on her car seat, with her head up against the head rest! And
a bullet hole in her chest, with blood gushing everywhere.
Teddy: Jo, Jo, talk to me!
Jo: (Slurred speech) T e d d y?
Teddy: Yes I'm here! Someone call an ambulance!!! But there wasn't a soul in
sight!!!!
Teddy tried his cell phone, but it was dead!
Teddy: Oh Jo, hang on, I'll go get help!! He runs as fast as his legs will
carry him, to the set and says to the director, (the first person he sees)
Jo's been shot!!
Director: Oh my God, someone call an ambulance!!
The director and Teddy run outside to Jo, who's bleeding profusely now!
Teddy: There's too much blood, she's gonna die!
Director: No, not if we can get her to the hospital in time!
Teddy: You can't die on me, Jo, you can't!
Jo: (still with slurred speech) I' m t r y i n g n o t t o T e d
d y! (she smiles a little from the corner of her mouth)
Teddy: You're always a comedian, even when your half dead!!
Jo: Don't make me laugh, it hurts!
Teddy: I'm sorry! When is the ambulance gonna get here? It seems like an
hour!
Director: It's only been 2 minutes!
Jo: You know what I wish?
Teddy: What?
Jo: I wish I had my gun from the set, I could have defended myself!
Teddy: Stop joking, you're half dead!
Jo: I know, but why act it? Na seriously, I need to joke and laugh, or I'll
cry instead!
Teddy: Oh, good, here comes the ambulance.
The ambulance rushes Jo to the hospital, Teddy goes along for the ride,
there's just enough room for him! Teddy asks her a crucial question.
Teddy: Jo, I want to ask you a very important question. are you able to
answer it now, or do you want me to ask you later?
Jo: No, it's ok, please, ask me now!
Teddy: Ok, Jo, I love you with all my heart and soul, will you please marry
me? Isn't this romantic?
Jo: Oh, Teddy, ye-
Paramedic #1: FLATLINE! Charge the paddles!
Teddy: No, Jo, please don't leave me, I want you to be my wife!
Paramedic #2: Clear!
(Shocked)
Paramedic #1: Still got a flatline, charge them again!
Paramedic#2: More voltage! Clear!
(shocked)
Beep, Beep, Beep.
Paramedic #1: We got vitals!!
Teddy: Yes!
Jo: Oh, let me answer your question!
Teddy: NO, wait untill you're better, you can't afford to die again!
At the hospital. Teddy is in the waiting room. Jo is in the ER. Out comes
the Doctor .
Doctor : Teddy, is Jo your wife?
Teddy: Yes, yes she is! How is she, doc?
Doctor: Well, she's in intensive care right now! She's in critical condition.
She's lucky, the bullet just grazed her heart. On the x-ray, we could tell
the bullet was from a riffle, not a shotgun!
Teddy: Oh, my GOD! May I go see her?!
Doctor: Yes, but she's still critical! And she won't be able to answer you,
but she can hear you.
Doctor: OK, thanks Doctor!
Teddy is in the ER room, with Jo, after he calls all the girls and Mrs. G.
Teddy: Can you hear me? I hope so! I just wanted to let you know I've already
called everyone. All the girls and Mrs.G know. They'll be over soon!
Jo opens her eyes.
Teddy: Jo, are you OK?
Jo: Never better!
Teddy: The Doctor said another inch, and you would have been dead! The
bullet just grazed your heart!
Jo: What kind of bullet was it?
Teddy: It was the bullet from a riffle.
Jo: Yeah, it felt like a riffle bullet!
Jo: Oh, yeah, yes!
Teddy: Yes, what?
Jo: Yes, I'll marry you!
Teddy: Oh my GOD, I'm so happy. I love you!
Teddy slips the engagement ring on her finger.
They smile at each other and start to kiss, right when the doctor walks in!
Doctor: Oh uh..... I can see I'm inturupting something, I'll come back later!
Teddy: No, it's alright! Come on in!
Jo: Doc, as of 2 seconds ago, I'm a happily engaged woman!
Doctor: Congratulations!
Teddy and Jo together: THANKS!

Scene 10:

Jo and Teddy are at the hospital, ready to leave. Doctor asks Jo to sign the
papers, for release. She agrees, and sits down on the bed and signs them.

engagement party, for Jo, that Jo didn't know about. When they get there, Jo
is shocked!!
The whole room yells: "CONGRATULATIONS!!"
Jo: Thank You one and all!!
Jo goes and hugs Blair and Mrs.G, and everyone else there.
Mrs.G : Jo, how are you feeling?
Jo: Oh, much better thanks! I feel like new! Really, as long as I take a
break from my job, I should be 100% in a week!
Tootie: Wow, that's great!

WOW! I liked this story a lot. The crossover idea between FOL and The Division was very creative.
