Swans Crossing: The Season Ending Episodes
1997 Daniel and Gregory Greco
Episode #4
Scene #1: Tool & Die
Jimmy & J.T. ride their bikes to the entrance of the Tool & Die. Neil is
riding with J.T.
Jimmy: Thanks for driving with me to the Tool and Die. You can never be
too careful.
J.T.: No problem, Jimmy. Thanks for all your help with this stuff. Its
nice to know we have some friends we can count on, right Neil.
Neil: Oh right, friends. Yeah, Jimmy, thanks for helping us out.
Jimmy: Not a problem, guys.
J.T.: Hey Jimmy, if you get any info on Barek, let me know.
Jimmy: I can do that. Anyway, Ill catch up with you guys later.
J.T. & Neil ride of on J.T.s bike. Jimmy enters the Tool & Die where
Callie and Barek are working.
Barek: Young James, youre late.
Jimmy: Sorry, Barek. I guess I should have told you, Im playing football
this year.
Barek: Young James, thats wonderful. Im glad to see you expand your
horizons.
Callie: Jimmy, you didnt tell me you were going out for football. I was
waiting for you. I had to walk to the Tool and Die alone.
Jimmy: Thats right Walker woman. Im sorry, I spaced. I should have
told you. I wont let it happen again.
Barek: Whats this I hear, Callie? Youre not afraid of walking in the
daytime now, too, are you?
Callie: No more than I should be.
Barek (annoyed): Now, whats that supposed to mean!
Jimmy: O.K. guys, why dont we just settle down. Cmon Callie, we need to
get the stage ready for the concert.
Callie: O.K., but Im tired of all these accusations.
Barek: Well, Im tired of always having to accuse you of these things. I
know you guys are following me, and I dont like it, so cut it out.
Jimmy: Well, Barek, what makes you think were following you?
Barek: Im not as dumb as I look, people. I can figure it out when people
are snooping on me, so leave me alone.
Callie: If youve got nothing to hide, why are you so worried about us
allegedly following you?
Barek: Because I like to keep my private business private, if you dont
mind. Now put those brains of yours into something productive, like
getting some more work done, or Im gonna have to dock you pay.
Jimmy & Callie: O.K.
Scene #2: Post Office
J.T. & Neil enter at the same time as Garrett.
J.T. Garrett, what are you doing here?
Garrett: Looking for something thats going to keep me in Swans Crossing
for a long time, how about you?
J.T.: Actually, so am I.
Garrett looks in his P.O. box. He finds nothing.
Garrett: Great, Im going to kill Sydney. I cant believe its taking
those record producers so long.
J.T. looks at his P.O. box and also finds nothing.
J.T.: I cant believe it. I cant believe it hasnt come in, yet.
Garrett: What are you looking for, J.T.?
J.T.: None of your business, Garrett. Private stuff. So, if you dont
get your stuff by Saturday, it looks like youre off to France.
Garrett: Thats right. That gives me five whole days to stay in Swans
Crossing. And when Im desperate, I can do anything.
Neil: Look, J.T., we dont have time for this.
J.T. (ignoring Neil): Looks like you are pretty desperate, Garrett.
Garrett: Whats that supposed to mean?
J.T.: It looks like Coach was pretty impressed by that Jeff kid.
Garrett: Your point being?
J.T.: My point being that it looks like youre going to be warming the
bench this year, Garrett. Imagine, Ill actually have someone who can
throw me the ball this year. Thatll be a nice change.
Garrett: Ive had enough of you, techno-geek. Except for classes and
football, I dont want to see your face.
J.T.: Believe me, the feelings mutual. Unfortunately, Im picking up
Glory to work on our project tonight.
Garrett: What does your sister see in you, anyway?
J.T.: Someone whos kind, someone whos sensitive, someone who treats your
sister with respect. In other words, someone nothing like you, Garrett.
Garrett: Mila seems to think I have those qualities.
J.T.: I dont know what youve done, but obviously youve deceived Mila
into thinking youre sensitive.
Garrett: Just stick to stuff you know, J.T., like physics.
J.T.: Id love to chat all day, but Ive got work to do. Then, Im going
to pick up Glory.
Garrett: Call first, so Ill be sure to be out of the house.
Garrett leaves
J.T. & Neil go outside the Post Office.
Neil: Why do you insist on letting him bother you so much? We have much
more important things than Garrett to worry about.
J.T.: I just wish I knew why it was taking the Rodavians so long to send
us the-
Neil (cutting off J.T.): The package.
J.T.: Right, the package, Bucky Ball. Anyway, Im going to Glorys for
our poetry project. Ill give you a lift to my place so you can get a head
start on homework.
Neil: Sounds good to me, but what about you? You gonna make it their all
right?
J.T.: Two blocks on my bike, I think I can handle.
Baldies #1 & #2 hiding behind the bushes.
Baldie #2: Perhaps, but dont worry, they will slip.
Baldie #1: And when they do, UB2B will be all ours.
Fade to commercial.
Scene #3: Swans Soda Shop
Saja and Sandy enter.
Sandy: Well, were here.
Saja: So we are. Our first... burger together.
Sandy: Yeah, Im hungry, so lets sit down.
Saja: O.K.
Jazz: Saja, Sandy. I didnt know you two were going out.
Saja: Dont be silly. I mean, me have a girlfriend, its ridiculous.
Jazz: Why?
Sandy: I dont think so.
Saja: You dont... think its ridiculous.
Sandy: The only thing thats ridiculous is that you dont think you could
have a girlfriend.
Saja: You think so.
Sandy: Yeah, I think so.
Saja: Great. Jazz, give us two cheeseburgers with everything on it, my
treat.
Jazz: All right, happiest warrior at Swans (bong).
Saja and Sandy look at each other as Baldie #1 enters.
Baldie #1: Woman with pancakes light as air, give me two cheeseburgers,
please.
Jazz: My names Jazz, remember?
Baldie #1: Oh yeah, how could I forget.
Jazz: So, how did that meeting go?
Baldie #1: What meeting?
Jazz: The meeting you flew out of here for, like a bat out of hell.
Baldie: Oh that. Goal still not accomplished. Did not track down
Professor Vann yet.
Saja notices Baldie #1.
Saja: Jazz, could you make those cheeseburgers to go. I just remembered,
I need to go home and was my sisters car.
Sandy: Oh no. I was just starting to have a good time.
Saja: You were? ...I cant tell you, but we cant be here right now. Ill
take you back to your place and well eat them there.
Saja and Sandy leave.
Baldie #1 (to Jazz): Have to go. Maybe cheeseburgers later.
Baldie #1 follows Saja and Sandy.
Scene #4: Sydneys Room
Sydney picks up the phone and calls Billy Gunn. Split screen with Sydney
in her room and Billy Gunn in his room.
Billy Gunn: Ello, whos this?
Sydney: So soon you forget. Its me, Sydney.
Billy Gunn: Oh, its you luv. This is your second call in a week. Makes
me think that you might miss the old rock star.
Sydney: I called for business, not pleasure. Although the two arent
entirely exclusive.
Billy Gunn: Thats what I like to hear, Luv.
Sydney: Billy, I have to ask you for a favor.
Billy Gunn: Anything for you, my cruel swan.
Sydney: I need to know if your still interested in coming to the concert
this week.
Billy Gunn: Well, that depends.
Sydney: Depends on what?
Billy Gunn: Depends on whether or not you intend on combining business and
pleasure.
Sydney: I think that could be arranged.
Billy Gunn: Great. Ill be there. Looking forward to it. Bye, Luv.
Sydney: Wait. Can you ask your producer, Bobby Clarke, to come too.
Billy Gunn: What do we need that old bird here for? Arent I enough for
ya?
Sydney: Sure, but a lot of record producers are going to be there.
Theyre really hot. I just dont want you to miss out.
Billy Gunn: Well, all right then, I guess I can get the old geezer to show
up.
Sydney: Hold on, I have another call. Hello?
Garrett answers. Screen split between Sydney, Garrett, and Billy Gunn.
Garrett: Have you spoken to Billy Gunn yet?
Sydney: Im on the phone with him now.
Garrett: Is he coming?
Sydney: Garrett, just hold on a second. (Switches to talk to Billy)
Billy, are you there?
Billy Gunn: Yeah, but I got a plane to catch. Ill talk to Bobby.
Sydney: See you both on Sunday?
Billy Gunn: Sure thing, Luv. Bye.
Billy Gunn hangs up. Split screen with Sydney and Garrett.
Sydney (to Garrett): Everythings all set.
Garrett: Is Billys producer coming?
Sydney: Hell be there.
Garrett: He better. I dont need to remind you what will happen if he
doesnt.
Sydney: No, you dont.
Scene #5: Tool & Die
Barek, Jimmy, & Callie are working.
Jimmy: All we need to do now is to fluctuate the piston heads, and well
have our revolving stage.
Callie: Did you remember to rotate the calibrators?
Jimmy: Did that too, Walker woman.
Barek: Well, my young friends. It looks like you two lovebirds stopped
making goo-goo eyes long enough to do some decent work for once.
Callie: What are you trying to say, Barek?
Barek: Im saying that you two have spent so much time snooping in other
peoples business lately that its effected your work.
Callie: Well, theres a lot to see if you have your eyes open.
Barek: Just dont look too close, or you might get burnt. Listen, I dont
want you two to blame me for getting behind on your homework, too, so why
dont you get outta here and get a head start on your studies. That keep
you well rounded, you cant spend all your time in here. Besides, you did
enough work on the stage for one day.
Jimmy & Callie: All right.
Jimmy: You need a lift to the sub?
Callie: Thatd be great.
Jimmy: Lets get outta here.
Jimmy & Callie leave but spy on Barek from the outside the Tool & Die.
Jimmy (whispering): I promised J.T. Id let him know if I found anything.
Callie: Bareks using his transmitter, lets listen.
Barek speaks into the transmitter.
Barek: Yes Pegasus... I know... Not yet... Listen, these kids arent dumb,
they know whats going on... No, not all of it, but enough... I already
said by the concert... Yes, I know how important it is... I will.
Jimmy: I think we need to make that call.
Fade to commercial.
Scene #6: The Booth Porch
J.T. knocks on the front door and Glory answers.
Glory: J.T.! Im glad you stopped by.
J.T.: Were meeting for our poetry project, remember?
Glory: Of course I do. Im so happy were partners.
J.T.: So am I. So Glory, howd you get home?
Glory: I walked home with Saja and Sandy.
J.T.: I know, I saw them at school today. Unbelievable. All we need is
to get Neil a girlfriend now and...
Glory (cutting J.T. off): I think youre getting ahead of yourself. I
wouldnt hold my breath on Neil getting a girlfriend anytime soon. Besides,
how did you get home?
J.T.: I dropped Neil off at my place and came here. Its only two blocks.
I know I need to be more careful.
Glory: You have enough to worry about, J.T. You dont have to worry about
me, too.
J.T.: Yes, Glory, I do. I cant help but feel responsible for getting us
all in this mess.
Glory: Its not your fault theyre after your work.
J.T.: Its not that. Its, well, Glory, I made a promise to you. I said
Ill always protect you. I meant it when I promised you that.
Flashback to a scene after J.T. saves Glory. J.T. is hugging Glory.
J.T.: Im never going to let that happen to you again. Glory, I have to
tell you, as long as you live, Im never going to let that happen to you
again.
Flashback ends.
Glory: Dont worry, J.T., Ill be O.K.
J.T.: Im not willing to take that risk, Glory. I want you to wait for
me until after football practice every day so I can walk you home.
Glory: Well, I guess Ill be at cheerleading anyway, I can do that.
J.T., I love the way you protect me.
J.T.: I just wish I didnt have to.
J.T. leans over to kiss Glory, then stops.
J.T.: Swans should have a lot of people. It should be O.K. to work on
our project there.
Glory: I know you, J.T. You want Swans first day of school cheeseburger
special.
J.T.: I guess you do know what Im thinking. Can you guess what Im
thinking now?
Glory: I can try.
J.T. & Glory hold hands.
Scene #7: Milas Room
Mila and Garrett are studying poetry. Garrett is looking frustrated due
to his "writers block."
Mila: Maybe it might help if you read some poetry?
Garrett: Its no use, I just have too much on my mind right now. Until
this writers block ends, Ill just have to help you with your poetry.
Mila: Well, this is what I have so far:
Youre a vision I think, in polka dot pink
I love your mocha lips, theyre better than chocolate chips
I love your cherry smile, its better than a crocodile
Garrett (cutting Mila off): Mila, thats er... very nice.
Mila: You think so, because thats what Im singing at the concert.
Garrett (alarmed): Thats what youre singing at the concert!
Mila: It is. Whats wrong Garrett?
Garrett: Oh, nothing. I just didnt know you were singing that song at
the concert. Im suddenly not feeling all that well.
Mila: What about the project?
Garrett: Ive got to go. I need to make a phone call that may just help
us out.
Garrett leaves and Mila calls Sydney. Split screen shown between Mila and
Sydney, with Nancy in Sydneys background.
Sydney: Hello?
Mila: Hi Sydney, its me, Mila. I was just calling to see how your
project is going?
Sydney: Nancy and I are just starting. Were reading a bunch of old poems
to inspire us.
Nancy (to Sydney): I found some Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Shes very
exquisite.
Mila: Any inspirations so far?
Sydney: Just one, desperation.
Mila: That doesnt sound like a fun poem.
Sydney: Believe me, it isnt.
Scene #8: Outside Callies Sub
Jimmy & Callie sitting on their bikes.
Callie: So, what are you doing, now?
Jimmy: Im going over to my folks bakery and grabbing dinner there.
Callie: Will you be O.K.?
Jimmy: Whats this I hear, Walker woman? You worried about me?
Callie: Remember what J.T. said about never being alone?
Jimmy: Ill be all right on my bike. Besides, I dont know anything.
Callie: Neither did Glory.
Jimmy: Good point. Maybe it might not be all that safe after all.
Callie: If you want, you could have dinner with me and my dad.
Jimmy: I think Id like that, as long as your dad doesnt grill me about
the mating habits of the Nudibranch. So, Callie, what do you think Barek
was talking about?
Callie: I dont know, but its clear that he knows were onto him.
Jimmy: I just wish I knew what we were onto.
Callie: So do I, Jimmy, so do I.
Fade to commercial
Scene #9: Swans Soda Shop
J.T. & Glory enter Swans Soda Shop. Neil is sitting alone at the counter.
J.T. goes to Neil, and Glory follows.
J.T. (whispering and upset): Neil, what are you doing here?
Neil (normal volume): I just couldnt take another one of your computer
sandwiches. Besides, youre the last one to talk about skipping work for
food.
J.T. (still whispering and upset): Im not talking about that. Im
talking about your safety Neil, our safety. Remember, we need to be
mistake free.
Glory: J.T., Im worried too, but people need to live their lives. You
cant protect all the people all the time.
Neil: Glorys right, J.T. I can take care of myself.
J.T.: Like you did, Neil, the night you were drugged, or you did, Glory,
when you were kidnapped. I just dont want either of you to get hurt
again. We only need to do this for a few more days, until we get what we
need from the post office.
Glory: Well, J.T., think of it this way: You and Neil can walk me home,
and then go back to your place.
J.T.: I guess. We just all need to be really careful from here on in.
Can you both promise me that you will be.
Glory: Sure, we can do that.
Neil: No problem, Bucky Ball.
J.T.: Great. Say Neil, listen. Glory and I were going to work on our
poetry project.
Neil: I dont mind, go on.
J.T.: Actually Neil, Glory and I could use a little...
While J.T. is talking, Owen enters, comes over to the table, and interrupts
J.T.
Owen: I just sent in a demo tape to my new record producer.
J.T.: Thrilled (sarcastically). Look, Owen, we were talking about
something important.
Owen (ignoring J.T.s bitter tone): He was asking about a Professor Vann.
You dont happen to know who he is, do you?
J.T.: He asked about Professor Vann? What did he look like?
Owen: He was sort of big, and bald, and had an accent. I think he was
from Milwaukee.
J.T.: Well, thats him. Did he say why he was looking for Professor Vann,
or where he was going?
Owen: No, just that he was looking for Professor Van. Hes going to make
me a star, you know.
Neil: Hes more likely to turn us into a vanishing act.
Owen (sounding confused): What? Are you guys in the concert?
J.T.: Neil, why dont you explain it all to Owen over there.
J.T. points to an open booth. Neil and Owen go, leaving J.T. & Glory at
the counter.
J.T.: Finally, I thought wed never be alone. Remember what I said about
being careful. Theyre even tracking Owen.
Glory: Youre right, J.T.
J.T.: Well, were safe, for now. Lets go over these poems.
Glory: I wish we were reading your poems.
J.T.: Well, I have a new poem here.
Glory: For me?
J.T.: Who else would they be for.
J.T. gives Glory the poem. Glory reads it silently.
J.T.: I was thinking we could use this one for our project.
Glory the reads the poem aloud.
Glory: Unsafe Love
Love is a risk that you have to take
Its reasons are trust, hope, and faith
The more dangerous the risk, the faster the beat
Of the heart that seers with scorching heat
A risk means putting your heart on display
But the rewards are love, no questions, no delay
Love is unsafe at any speed, so accelerate, race
and feel the cool breeze on your face
J.T.: Well, whatd you think?
Glory: J.T., thats wonderful, but I think I like that one just for me.
J.T.: Well, we can think of something else to write for the project.
Glory: Id like that.
J.T. & Glory hold hands.
Scene #10: Sydneys Room
Sydney is sitting in her room with Nancy, discussing their poetry project.
Sydney: Well, its a good start. I never knew how many poems mother had.
Nancy: I must say, we did find a lot of stuff, didnt we. I dont want to
say this too loudly, but poetry class might actually be some fun.
Sydney: Who knows, I might actually enjoy it once Garrett leaves for
France.
Nancy: You mean if Garrett moves to France. I wouldnt count on it.
Garrett can be very resourceful, but you probably know all about that.
Sydney: Do I and how.
Nancy: Well, I gotta run. Ive got to finish my geometry and get ready
for my riding lesson tomorrow.
Sydney: Well, see you later Nancy.
Nancy: Toodles.
Nancy leaves and the phone rings.
Sydney: Hello, who is it?
Split screen shows Garrett calling from Glorys room.
Garrett: Its me, Garrett
Sydney: How lucky for me.
Garrett: As usual Sydney, youve got things turned around. This calls
lucky for me.
Sydney: And why is that, Garrett?
Garrett: Cuz, Sydney-kins, I need you to do some more favors.
Sydney: More favors! Like what? Havent I done enough?
Garrett: As a matter of fact, no, you havent. I need you to do some
more.
Sydney: What could you possibly want this time, more poems!
Garrett: Only half correct. I do need you to send more poems coming my
way, but I also need you to help me out with Milas concert. I heard
Milas song and its not very good. I expect that it will be by the
concert, and Im putting you in charge.
Sydney: How do you expect me to do that? And besides, J.T. is in our
class. Hell know that the poems arent yours, and knowing how well you
two get along, he wont be shy about pointing that out.
Garrett: Thats not my problem now, is it? I dont care how you do it,
just do it... Sandy.
Sydney: Im really getting tired of all that Sandy stuff. You just better
hope it doesnt come before the concert.
Garrett: What come before the concert?
Sydney: You just better hope and pray, Garrett Booth.
Sydney hangs up and looks out the window.
