Episode #2
Scene #1: Outside Booth House
Callie knocking on front door, and Garrett opens it
Garrett: What do you want? Glorys eating breakfast.
Callie: Well, do you mind if I speak to her.
Garrett: If you must. Hey Glory! (Glory enters) Your friends here to
see you. I gotta go. Ive got a swimming lesson this morning and then Ive
got to put up some fliers up for dad. I will see you two later.
Garrett leaves
Callie: Hi Glory. I have a favor to ask. Could you tell J.T. that
Sydneys coming over to pick up the slot machine this morning. By the way,
whats Garretts problem?
Glory: Garretts still a little upset about dad sending him to France. You
know, he leaves next week. And sure, Ill tell J.T. But you didnt come
all the way over so early to tell me that. So what does bring you over
here, some glorious lemonade?
Callie: Actually Glory, it is glorious, but its not lemonade.
Glory: What is it? Tell me, tell me!
Callie: O.K., you dragged it out of me (kidding). Lets just say that
Jimmy and me have a little more going on than tooling around.
Glory: Thats wonderful. See, I told you it would happen sooner or later.
Callie: Looks like a little sooner than later.
Glory: Where did you two go after the party last night? You left so early.
Callie: Jimmy and I went to do a little research at the Tool and Die, and
one thing led to another, and you know...
Glory: No, I dont know!
Callie: We kissed.
Glory: Thats great. Imagine, both of us in love. Isnt it great.
Callie: Its better than great, its glorious.
Glory and Callie click lemonade glasses
Glory: Who knows, now that we both have boyfriends, maybe we could even
double date.
Callie: That sounds really nice, but I think it would be better if Jimmy
and I get to know each other a little better first.
Glory: That is something you definitely dont have to explain to me, I know
all about that.
Scene #2: J.T.s room
J.T. shrugging Neil, trying to wake it up
J.T.: Wake up, Neil! Wake up! Todays a big day, Bucky Ball. Its our
last chance to get some work done on UB2B before school starts.
Neil: Its about time you get your mind on work and off poetry.
J.T.: Speaking of poetry, Swans has a breakfast special, and I know just
who to invite.
Neil: What about our research, J.T. You know, big day.
J.T.: It is a big day, and a big day deserves a big breakfast. And
besides, not only is it the last day to work on UB2B, its also my last full
day with Glory.
Neil: Theres weekends, Bucky Ball. Choose one or the other, work or
Glory.
J.T. picks up the phone
J.T.: Food (to Neil). Hello, is Glory there?
Go to split screen. Glory is in her room with Callie
Glory: J.T.
J.T.: You up for a round of breakfast at Swans. Last one before school
starts.
Glory: That sounds great. Hey J.T., guess what?
J.T.: Im busy Glory, no time for guessing games.
Glory: Its official. Jimmy and Callie are an item. Heard it first hand
this morning.
J.T.: Thats great, but not as great as breakfast at Swans.
Glory: J.T., all you think about is food.
J.T.: Glory, thats not all I think about.
Glory: Oh, J.T.! Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Sydneys coming over to your
place this morning to pick up the slot machine.
J.T.: Thanks for the warning. Ill see you in about ten minutes.
Glory: Sure thing. Mind if Callie comes?
J.T.: Thats no problem. Tell her shes welcome.
Callie waves Glory off
Glory: Hold on, J.T.
Callie (to Glory): Actually, Im supposed to meet Jimmy at the Tool and Die
this morning. Ill tell you what. Ill meet you there afterwards.
Glory: O.K., Callie, see you later (Callie leaves). Callies going to meet
us there. Bye J.T.! See you at Swans. (Glory hangs up the phone)
J.T.: (to Neil) I guess Sydneys coming over to pick up the slot machine.
(knock, knock) That must be her, now. Come in (to the knock).
Sydney: Hello boys, came by to pick up the slot machine.
J.T.: So Sydney, you seem in a hurry. What do you need the slot machine
for?
Sydney: My mothers having a Las Vegas night for the campaign. I know you
guys must be interested given your interest in gambling youve shown lately.
Neil: No more gambling for us. For now, were strictly keeping our brain
waves linked to research.
J.T.: Thanks again for letting us use it. It was actually kind of nice.
Neil: Yeah, too bad we didnt make any money.
Sydney: Speaking of money, have you guys heard anything else about my birth
papers? I hope Im putting my money to good use. Whats the status report?
J.T.: Same as the last time you asked. Zip. Zilch.
Neil: Zero.
J.T.: Well let you know as soon as we get our hands on it. Until then,
youll just have to wait. Its out of our hands.
Pan to Sydney. Fade to commercial.
Scene #3: Swans Pool Club
Garret and Mila swimming in the pool.
Garrett: Mila, youve really improved. You couldnt even swim when we
first started. Now, youre the most graceful thing in the water.
Mila: Oh, Chandler! I had a great teacher.
Garrett: Look, Mila. Im crazy about you, I am but... Im not Chandler, Im
Garrett. Chandler was just an excuse to get close to you, but now that
were together, you dont need to call me Chandler anymore.
Mila: Youre right Garrett. I just wish you could end that awful writers
block.
Garrett: Believe me, so do I. Its been great, Mila, it has... but I
really have to put up some fliers for my dad. So I will see you tonight for
our last night together before school starts.
Mila: Oh, I just cant make it tonight. Mother insists on taking me out to
dinner. Just the two of us. You know how the Countess is, I just cant
make it tonight. But call me.
Garrett: Wild horses couldnt stop me.
Mila: Promise
Garrett: I promise. Besides, my plane to France doesnt leave until after
the concert. Ill still get to see you become a star.
Mila: Great, our last night together. What am I going to go without you?
Garrett: Dont worry, Im not gone yet. Ive got a feeling youll be stuck
with me for a long time.
Garrett splashes water on Mila
Scene #4: Tool and Die
Callie and Jimmy enter the Tool and Die. Barek is there.
Barek: So, its the last day before school starts and the resident
gear-heads are here.
Jimmy: Well, we are on the schedule to work today.
Callie: Yeah, we cant miss our last day of work before school.
Barek: Well, sure you can. I get the feeling you guys would like to be
alone, and I cant very well get to work with you two making goo-goo eyes
at each other all day, so why dont you take the day off. Besides, Im a
man who likes my privacy, and the way Ive been running into you guys all
over town, itll be nice to have a day to myself. But you guys have to
finish the concert stage, so I want you in here tomorrow after school.
Here, you can even have some of my triple ripple.
Barek gives Jimmy the triple ripple ice cream
Jimmy: Thank Barek, we were kind of hoping to get the day off.
Barek: Now get out of here and have some fun. Thats what kids are
supposed to do, isnt it, have some fun.
Jimmy: Cmon Callie, I know just where to go.
Barek: Be here tomorrow, after school.
Jimmy: You got it.
Jimmy & Callie leave, but spy outside. Barek uses his transmitter.
Barek: Pegasus, were getting close. I dont know... I dont know...
Ill get back to you... sure... at the Walker Estate. Bye.
Jimmy: Thats just where I was going.
Callie: Cmon Jimmy, lets go.

the creeps.
J.T.: Me, too.

Jazz: I dont know any Owen Tapes, but I know an Owen Fowler. Hes right
over there. (Jazz points to Owen)
Baldie #1: Thank you woman with pancakes light as air.
Jazz: My names Jazz.
Baldie #1: Sure it is.
J.T.: So Glory, Ive been working on a new poem.
Glory: J.T, thats wonderful! Can I hear it?
J.T.: Sure, Ive got it right here. Its called The Star.
Everyone has a star in their life, someone to shine bright in the night.
A star is someone who is decent and kind.
Once in your life a star you will find
To be bright and strong as the night will allow
My star gives me the light and strength to shine myself
Glory: J.T., thats beautiful.
J.T.: You think so? You know, I wrote it just for you.
Glory: I know you did. (J.T. and Glory hold hands)
Baldie #1 joins Mila, Owen, & Sandy
Baldie #1: Is this where I find Owen Tapes?
Owen: Im Owen, Owen Fowler. Wow! Are you from the record company?
Baldie #1: Record company?
Owen: Are you a big record producer?
Baldie #1: Record producer? Yes, I am big record producer. Do you have
tapes?
Owen: Yeah, Ive got some right here. You want one? (Owen gives Baldie an
audio tape)
Baldie #1: Thank you, you most helpful (Baldie #1 leaves, chats with Jazz)
Owen: Wow! Thanks! (to Mila and Sandy) Im going to be a star!
Sandy: Owen, we have to talk about the video.
Mila: Yeah, Owen!
Owen: I lent Barek the tapes. Ill get them tomorrow, I cant do anything
until then.
Sandy: Owen, whose going to star in the video, me or Mila?
Mila: Yeah, Owen. You have to make a decision.
Owen: Why cant you both star?
Sandy: Weve been working together longer.
Mila: Were doing my song.
Sandy: You have to decide, her or me. Threes a crowd
Mila: Yeah!
Owen: Do I have to decide today?
Mila: No.
Sandy: But before the concert.
Mila: Yeah.
Owen: O.K., O.K., Ill decide before the concert.
Baldie #1 gets up to leave
Jazz (to Baldie #1): Hey you, the guy from Milwaukee. You ever find that
Professor Vann?
Pan to J.T., looking shocked
Fade to commercial.

Glory & J.T. are together at a booth. Baldie #1 is talking with Jazz.
Owen, Mila, & Sandy are at a table discussing the concert.
Baldie #1: No, no Professor Vann today.
Glory: J.T., Professor Vann, thats who the kidnappers were asking about.
J.T.: I know. Lets get out of here fast.
Glory & J.T. leave
Jazz (to Baldie #1): Do you want anymore pancakes?

hiding behind some trees.
Barek: It will be completed.
Pegasus: When?
Barek: Before the concert. I can promise you that.
Pegasus: Good. You have done excellent work, Barek.
Barek: Right now, I got to get back to work at the Tool and Die, I cant
blow my cover.
Pegasus: No, that would be bad. Very, very bad.
Barek leaves.
Jimmy: Well, its clear what Bareks up to now.
Callie: Yeah, just like Ive been saying all along.
Jimmy: I cant believe hed blow his cover that easily. He really slipped
up.
Callie: Or maybe Barek wanted us to know.
Jimmy: Why would he want us to know?
Callie: Well, theres only one way to find out. Cmon, lets go back to
the Tool and Die.
Jimmy: I guess there goes our fishing trip. Maybe another time.
Callie: Another time.
Jimmy & Callie leave to follow Barek.
Scene #8: Outside the Library
J.T. & Glory walking briskly
Glory: J.T., am I in any danger.
J.T.: No, they must know that you dont know anything at this point. But
Neil and I, I think were in a lot of trouble.
Glory: What are you going to go, J.T.? Why do they want to catch you?
J.T.: You know I cant tell you that, Glory. But they probably arent
going to come for you again. Theyre definitely after Neil and me. All I
know is that Ive gotta get home and tell Neil. He may already be in
danger.
Jimmy & Callie walking.
Jimmy: All Barek was doing was tuning a twin-engine fuel system.
Callie: Barek must know were on to him.
Jimmy & Callie run into J.T. & Glory.
J.T.: Am I ever glad to run into you guys.
Callie: Whats the matter, J.T., you look like youve just seen a ghost.
We were just going to Swans to meet you.
J.T.: I wouldnt go over there if I were you.
Jimmy: Why?
J.T.: I think we just saw the guy who kidnapped Glory.
Callie: What did he look like?
Glory: He was big, and bald, and had an accent, and I think he was the one
who kidnapped me.
Callie: That sounds like him. I think were all in a lot of trouble.
Jimmy: I think we better get out of here. Who knows how many people are
listening to this conversation?
Saja enters kicking, in a warrior outfit.
Saja: At least one. Whats going on?
Callie: The great mamba jamba.
Jimmy: At least two of them.
Saja: What happened?
Callie: We saw Barek talking to a guy, he was dressed in black, just like
you Saja. Barek was talking about not blowing his cover, and said something
about finishing something before the concert.
Saja: Thats only in one week.
Jimmy: Looks like youve been on the right track the entire time, Saja.
J.T.: And Glory and me saw some bald guy with an accent asking about my
work.
Saja: Thats the human docking post.
J.T.: What?
Saja: Never mind.
J.T.: O.K. Were really close, but were in real danger. Lay low till
school tomorrow. Glorys already been kidnapped and Neils been drugged, so
we all have to stick together. No one can be alone.
Saja: What about school?
J.T.: Act like nothings happened. But never be alone, not even in the
bathroom.
Callie: What about Glory, shes not involved.
J.T.: She is now (to Callie). Im sorry. (to Glory, then hugs her)
Glory: Thats O.K., I know youll protect me.
J.T.: We gotta get out of here. I need to warn Neil. I only hope its not
too late.
Fade to commercial.
Scene #9: Booth Front Porch
Mr. Booth and Garrett talking
Garrett: Dad, I want to start school tomorrow.
Mr. Booth: Garrett, I thought we decided you were leaving for France next
week.
Garrett: I want to start classes, dad, just in case something happens so
that I can stay in Swans Crossing.
Mr. Booth: Far be it for me to tell you to miss school, so if you want to
start classes tomorrow, fine. But let me warn you, this is in no way going
to influence my decision to send you to boarding school, so you better start
packing now for France.
Garrett: But dad, I have to stay in Swans Crossing.
Mr. Booth: Garrett, youll be home for summers and holidays. Now stop
acting so childish. This is a great opportunity for you. You are a very
lucky man. You should be happy.
Garrett: Thrilled (sarcastically).
Mr. Booth goes into the house. Garrett goes in seconds later and dials the
phone. He calls from Glorys room. Mila answers. Split screen shown.
Mila: Hello.
Garrett: Its me.
Mila: Oh Garrett, you called. Im so happy. Ive missed you today.
Garrett: How was dinner with the Countess?
Mila: Boring. Anything without you is boring.
Garrett: You know I feel the same way.
Mila: Is you dad letting you start school tomorrow?
Garrett: Yeah, but he says I still have to go to boarding school.
Mila: Not when you hear from those record producers.
Garrett: I havent heard from them, yet.
Mila: You will, I know you will. You have to take Mrs. Birdsongs English
class. Were going to read poetry all semester.
Garrett: Great (sarcastic, aside) Looking forward to it. See you tomorrow
in class.
Mila: I cant wait. Bye Garrett.
Mila hangs up the phone. Garret makes another call. Sydney answers.
Split screen shown.
Sydney: Hello
Garrett: Its me.
Sydney: What do you want? I was just getting in a good mood.
Garrett: I need you to do another favor.
Sydney: Oh no, not another poem.
Garrett: Oh, no, nothing like that. Not yet.
Sydney: Then what!
Garrett: I need you to get in contact with our little English friend, Billy
Gunn. I want to make sure that he comes into town for the concert.
Sydney: I already talked to him. He said maybe.
Garrett: Thats not good enough. I need you to be a little more
persuasive.
Sydney: How?
Garrett: Didnt you say he was interested in making you a little more than
a social secretary?
Sydney: Yeah, so.
Garrett: So, use your charms, figure it out.
Sydney: Look Garrett, Im tired of running your errands for you.
Garrett: Maybe youve forgotten, but if you dont do this for me, I can
make your life very miserable Sandy-
Sydney: O.K., O.K. But watch it Garrett Booth. Ive got a little plan of
my own.
Garrett: Whats that supposed to mean?
Sydney: Bye Garrett.
Sydney hangs up the phone quickly, is alone.
Sydney: You better not let me down, J.T. Adams.
Scene #10: J.T.s Room
Baldie #1 in bushes about to stand up. J.T. runs to his room, where Neil is
looking.
J.T. hurriedly enters his room.
Neil: Where have you been?
J.T.: I was at Swans.
Neil: We were supposed to work today. Your stomach does nothing but get us
in trouble.
J.T.: Neil, were already in trouble.
Neil: Yeah, were in trouble. School starts tomorrow and you havent done
a thing all day.
J.T.: No, not that kind of trouble, I mean real trouble.
Neil: Why? What happened?
J.T.: I was at Swans with Glory when I saw this big, bald guy with an
accent looking for Professor Vann.
Neil: You found the guy whos after us?
J.T.: Theres more. Glory thinks thats the guy who kidnapped her. Barek
is definitely in on it, and-
Neil cuts off a panicked J.T.
Neil: Slow down, Bucky Ball. Now tell me, nice and easy.
J.T.: Fine. That guy, the bald one, I think he kidnapped Glory, and hes
probably the guy who drugged you.
Neil: Where is he now?
J.T.: I dont know, we got out of Swans before he could follow us.
Neil: Does he know where we live?
J.T.: I dont know.
Neil: Does he know who Professor Vann is?
J.T.: I dont know. You cant rule anything out at this stage. All I know
is that everyones in danger. Neil, listen to me. You cant be alone.
Assume someone is following us at all times.
Neil: O.K., O.K. Ill be careful, Bucky Ball.
J.T.: Not careful, Neil, mistake free.
Neil: What does Barek have to do with this?
J.T.: I dont know. Jimmy and Callie saw him talking to some masked guy at
the Walker Estate. Whatever hes doing, hes got to get it done before the
concert.
Neil: That gives us a week, Bucky Ball. What about the work?
J.T.: Its all in the computer, right?
Neil: It is now, no thanks to you.
J.T.: Then well put a safeguard on the computer, and burn whats written
down.
Neil: Whats the password?
J.T. writes in the computer (we see the back of the computer screen).
J.T.: This. And never repeat it. Who knows if were being bugged or
followed or what. Someone might even be watching us this minute.
Pan outside J.T.s house, where Baldie #1 is talking into a transmitter.
Baldie #1: I think they onto us. But one more thing. We have a new
player. Who? Owen. Owen Tapes.
