Part 11

We last left off at quite the cliff hanger, so I won't keep waste any time!

Doc: Well, I've got good news and bad news.

Squiggy: Um... I've got dibs on the good news!

(everyone shoots him "you're so stupid" looks)

Doc: As I was saying, there is good news and bad news. The bad news is she'll have to stay in the hospital overnight for some tests. The good news is that the operation was successful and other than one broken rib we just found she is totally OK!

::cheers from everyone but Fonzie who gives the famous thumb's up::

Shirley: What about me?

Carmine: Yeah. Do you have the results yet?

**I could make that into another script, but to save you all the agony I will put his response in this one**

Doc: Ms. Feeney...(scans clipboard) Nope, no internal injuries! But I caution both you and Laverne that you better take it easy the next few weeks. Especially Laverne. For you it should be easy, since you'll have to be in a wheelchair, but Laverne may not realize that even some seemingly everyday things might be too much for her heart just yet.

Shirley: Don't worry, we'll all make sure.

(everyone agrees)


Meanwhile, in Laverne's room, she is just waking up...

Laverne: Oh, man, do I feel weird! Where's Lenny? (she sees a chart lying by her bed on a nightstand) "Laverne M. DeFazio, Emergency Heart Surgery performed by..." Heart surgery! (her eyes bug out like they do in some episodes and her hand goes right to the left side of her chest, she listens) Still there. Then she sees a note. "Laverne~ Since ya weren't awake when I came in I didn't want to disturb you. You're supposed to take it easy for a while. Push the button by your bed when you wanna see somebody. Fonz" Well, I am kinda lonely... (suddenly she remembers something she has to tell a certain person, she quickly pushes a button)


A few minutes later...

Laverne: Good, I was hoping you'd be here!

Carmine: What'd ya want Laverne? And are you sure you're feelin' up to talkin'?

Laverne: Yeah, I'm sure. But first I gotta try something: First thing that comes to your mind- Angelface!

Carmine: Shirl.

Laverne: Thank goodness it's really you!

(Carmine gives her a funny look)

Carmine: Shirley was talking like that earlier...

Laverne: Is Shirley OK?

Carmine: Well, she broke her legs.

Laverne: WHAT!?

Carmine: Oh that's nothin', you were in a coma!

Laverne: Boy, time sure flies, don't it?

Carmine: Yeah, so what did you want to tell me?

Laverne: (she whispers something to him).

Carmine: Hey! That's a great idea! Do you think we can do it?

Laverne: One good turn deserves another.


Oooh. What are they talking about??? Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long...


The next day, Laverne's room. She is surrounded by little bouquets of flowers and a couple cards. There's a knock at the door.

Laverne: Come in!

(Lenny enters with something behind him)

Lenny: Hi Laverne! How are ya feelin'?

Laverne: About as good as I can, I guess. (she half smiles)

Lenny: Yeah. Oh! I got somethin' for ya, I hope you like it.

(He pulls out an L shaped wreath made of deep purple tropical flowers)

Laverne: Oh, Len, it's beautiful!

Ln: And that's not all. (takes a blue "L" out of his pocket) For your hospital gown.

L: Thanks, I feel naked without one.

(Lenny bites his palm, then stops)

Lenny: Sorry, I shouldn'ta done that.

Laverne: Ah, that's OK. Aside from the disgusting sound, it's kind of flattering.

They sit in silence for a moment, then finally Laverne speaks.

Laverne: Look, Len. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings the other day. But now I realize somethin'. I really do like you Lenny, you're a real sweet guy. Maybe we could go see Godzilla eating a city when we get back to Milwaukee, huh? {Tokyo?}

Lenny: Really?

Laverne: Sure. And maybe since we've probably both seen it...

Lenny: (bites palm)

Laverne: Don't start that again.


The next day Laverne and Carmine's plan is being put into action. In the lobby of the hotel Rosie is sitting in the hypnotists chair. He is chanting.

Hypnotist: You are getting very sleepy..... You will give Laverne DeFazio your wallet... You will give Laverne....

Once she snaps out of it, Rosie of course gives Laverne the wallet. Laverne takes it to the gift shop and selects her purchase. The whole gang presents it to Shirley.

Shirley(unwrapping): Well I wonder what this could... Aaaaaaaaahh! (high pitched excited scream) BOO BOO KITTY!!!! Oh thank you so much!!!

(she hugs Laverne and kisses Carmine)


The day they leave they are all getting settled on the plane.

Squiggy: Hello gorgeous! Could I have a root beer with a pretty blonde straw? (she slaps him) I don't get it! How does he do it?


Meanwhile...

Joanie: That's just great! I didn't get a line in this whole script!!!

Marion: That's nice dear. (Joanie rolls her eyes)


Behind them Rosie is asleep mumbling about her wallet, and Carmine for once is getting some peace and quiet!


Meanwhile, Fonzie and Richie are a few seats behind them...

Richie: So Fonz, you didn't really get any girls this trip did you?

Fonzie: Well... one.

Richie: I'm surprised, usually you've got about 20!

Fonzie: Well, this girl was really special...


Laverne and Shirley's seat...

Laverne: I've been meaning to ask you somethin' Shirl.

Shirley: What's that?

Laverne: I noticed ya changed the subject when I asked you what you were doing. What were you doing?

Shirley: None of your business.

Laverne: You were with Fonzie, and you were on the bed kissing, so you musta... (eyes bug) no, ya didn't! You said you didn't...

Shirley(innocently): Didn't what?

Laverne: Didn't...

Shirley: I guess you'll never know, will ya? (she smiles mysteriously and winks at Fonzie across the aisle)

Laverne and Richie look at each other questioningly. Laverne raises her eyebrows and Richie shrugs. Shirley and Fonzie just smile.


The End!!!!
