The Heat is on Anna

This is taken from a script, so the actual aired scene maybe a little different, depending on how much the scene was ad-libbed.

This scene takes place in the kitchen of Anna's new townhouse. All three of Robin's Godfathers are busily putting up wallpaper to the amusement of Felicia, Anna, Filomenia, and Robin. Frisco and Sean are all thumbs, while Buzz is hanging the paper like a pro. 

Anna: "What a team!"

Frisco: "I think I need a third hand."

Sean: "I can lend you a third thumb."

Buzz: "I'll help you guys in a minute."

Frisco: "In a minute, it'll be too late."

Felicia: "I think it's already too late."

Anna: "Hang in there, Frisco!"

Sean: "Where's my glue?"

Frisco: "Mostly in your face."

Robin: "Mostly in his hair!" (They all laugh.)

Sean: "Are you having fun in the peanut gallery?"

Filomenia: "Maybe the men should have some lunch now?"

Buzz: "Not now. I'm on a roll... pardon the pun." (Groans all around for his bad pun.) "On the other hand, why don't Frisco and Sean have their lunch. I'll finish the job."

Sean: "That's very generous of you, Doctor."

Buzz: "Don't mention it." (Frisco's already reaching for a sandwich on a platter.)

Frisco: "Filomenia, I love you."

Felicia (too sweetly): "He says that to all his women!"

Sean (coming over to join them): "What do we have here?"

Frisco: "Great chow."

Felicia: "Shall I give you a doggie-bag, Frisco? For your mascot?"

Frisco: "What mascot?"

Felicia: "The old buddy who was panting after you at the academy. Sam, who else?" (On her look, Frisco takes a bit into his sandwich.)

The scene fades out, then returns later. Anna and Buzz are alone.

Anna: "The glass eye has been verified as belonging to Earl Moody."

Buzz: "Aha. As Alice in Wonderland says, this gets curisouser and curisouser."

Anna: "So am I... getting curisouser and curisouser. I'm flying to Laurelton."

Buzz: "You want company?"

Anna: "Can you spare the time?"

Buzz: "I should make the time. I need to dig into Terry's medical history."

Anna: "That would help a lot if you can come up with something. The more background I have, the better."

Buzz: "I'll call Steve, and get clearance. There won't be a problem."

Anna: "I have to get hold of Bobbie before we leave. I have to make sure I've got every detail she can provide, before I go into the enemy camp." (The phone rings. Anna picks it up. It's a two-way call with Ken Morgan, who is calling from Limbo Hospital phone.) "Hello?"

Ken: "It's Ken Morgan. I assume you've got a minute since you're taking a break at home."

Anna (pointedly): "I'm working here. Can I get back to you?"

Ken: "No. I'm not in my office. I'm visiting Ramsey at General, as a matter of fact. Let's do out business right now."

Anna: "What business is that?"

Ken: "I have a little tip for you, Anna. The editorial writers are sharpening their pencils. They're getting ready for you, Chief. Are you ready for them?"

Anna: "Thanks for the tip."

Ken: "It may be the last one you get from me. I'm running out of off-the-record-statements to protect you."

Anna: "I won't be needing your protection, Mr. Morgan. I intend to have some results in the Brownstone murder very soon." (She hangs up, and addresses Buzz) "I better get some answers in Laurelton, or I'm out of a job, Buzz."

The scene switches over to the brownstone hallway, where Ted Holmes meets up with Jennifer Talbot, Terry's slimy grandmother. She's smiling a grin of satisifaction.

Ted: "Why the smile, Jennifer?"

Jennifer (talking in code to her cohort): "The weather's changing for the better."

Ted: "The weather in Port Charles?"

Jennifer: "The weather in Laurelton."

Ted: "You've had an update?"

Jennifer: "I just got off the phone. The temperature's rising back home. A thaw is expected by afternoon." (She and Holmes smile at one another, understanding that Anna's soon visit to Laurelton will be a bust because the towns people have been instructed not to cooperate with her.)
