The scene begins with Marlena looking at the cards she's received while in the hospital. RoJohn enters the room.
RoJohn: Hey Doc.
Marlena: Hi. Hi.
RoJohn: Hey listen
are you sure you should be up and moving around?
Marlena: I think it's
all right. I had to read these cards. There are so many and I haven't had a chance
to look at them.
RoJohn: Well we missed you so much honey.
Marlena:
I missed you. When was the last time you were here?
RoJohn: I think
it was this morning.
Marlena: It seems like ages ago. I can't believe
that was this morning. You know life is passing so slowly and it's all your fault.
Marlena opens the top buttons on her nightgown.
RoJohn: Oh
and how is that? I keep thinking about you all day long and what it's like to wake
up with you and what it's like to go to bed with you.
RoJohn: Sound like
prettty nice thoughts to me.
Marlena puts her arms around Ro John's waist.
Marlena: I want to be home with you right now.
RoJohn cups
Marlena's face.
RoJohn: The doctor said you're going to go home real
soon.
Marlena: It's not soon enough for me. Not soon enough.
They
kiss. Roman goes over to the door.
RoJohn: Humm.
Marlena: What?
What? What are you doing?
Roman takes off his coat.
Marlena: Roman
what are you doing?
Marlena grabs a hold of his jacket.
RoJohn:
Get in bed.
Marlena lets go of the jacket.
RoJohn: Get in bed.
Marlena: Yes sir!
Marlena gets in bed and adjusts her nightgown.
RoJohn hangs his jacket over the door window so no one can look in. He locks the
door.
RoJohn: Are you locking us in? No I'm locking them out.
Marlena:
Are you you going to take advantage of me please!
RoJohn: I'm gonna do
my best.
Marlena lowers herself on to the matress while RoJohn gets on top
of her.
Marlena: Oh your best is just the best there is. I'm okay.
I'm okay.
They kiss.
Marlena: What if somebody wants to get
in?
RoJohn shifts his weight, grabs her face and begins to kiss her. There's
a knock at the door.
Maggie: Marlena! Marlena are you alright? Marlena!
RoJohn:
She's just fine!
They kiss again.
Maggie continues to knock on the
door. John's kissing Marlena's neck. RoJohn gets up from the bed.
RoJohn:
Oh! Okay!
Marlena adjusts her night gown.
Marlena: Do I look okay?
RoJohn: Doc we're not fooling anybody.
Marlena: Oh.
Marlena
grabs the covers. RoJohn opens the door and goes outside to see Maggie and a nurse.
Roman puts his jacket back on.
RoJohn: Oh maggie!
Maggie: Roman.
Nurse: Captain Brady is everything all right in there?
RoJohn:
Oh yeah everything's just fine in there.
Roman tucks his shirt into his pants.
RoJohn: I think the door was stuck.
Maggie: Ah well yes that
must explain it. I'm really sorry.
Maggie and RoJohn enter Marlena's room.
