Everyone in the waiting room is on pins and needles, hoping for any news - well, preferably good news, but any news on Laverne and/or Shirley's condition. Just then a nurse comes out and everyone rushes forward.
Nurse: Nothing yet. (everyone sits down)
Richie: Can we see them?
Nurse: No, sorry.
All: Oh please? Etc. Etc.
Nurse: No, they are in critical condition right now, I can't let you... (Fonzie gives her a kiss) On the other hand that's when you need the most company. (Snaps out of it) But only one in each room! (She walks off)
Everyone wants to be the one to go, of course.
Lenny: Please, can I go see Laverne? (Everyone looks at eachother)
Fonzie: Go ahead. (Everyone looks at him curiously, then they understand)
Lenny walks down the hall to room 118 where Laverne is.
Richie: Well, who should go see Shirley?
Richie knows who should go see Shirley, so does everyone else, but he's not there.
Fonzie: Someone needs to call Carmine, pronto.
Squiggy: But he wouldn't come. He's too busy makin' goo goo eyes at Rosie.
Fonzie: Well, he needs someone to talk some sense into him.
Meanwhile, Carmine and Rosie are laying on the beach. Carmine is rubbing sun tan lotion on Rosie's back ::eew:: Suddenly, Carmine stops rubbing.
Carmine: Rosie, my love, I have this strange feeling I need to be somewhere...
Rosie: Ignore it Carmine, you have me...
Carmine: I know, Angelface, I know, I just got this feelin'. Oh well.
(Just then a guy from the hotel comes running down the beach, searching the huge crowd. He spots Carmine and rushes over.)
Guy: Mr. Ragusa?
Carmine: Yeah.
Guy: There are some people wanting you to come down to the hospital.
Carmine: Really?
Guy: They called and asked where you were, and since I knew you and Miss Greenbaum came here, I got here as fast as I could.
Carmine: Who called?
Guy(takes note from pocket): A Mr. Fonzie?
Carmine: Oh, is he hurt?
Guy: Appearently not, but he did say that someone you knew was and to get down there... um... "pronto".
Carmine: OK, come on, Rosie!
Guy: And he said... "Don't bring her." (looks at Rosie) I'm assuming he means you. (Rosie folds her arms and humphs.)
Carmine arrives at the hospital in a few minutes. Fonzie takes him into Shirley's room, even though Carmine insists he "doesn't care about Shorty".
Carmine: Why are you dragging me in here for? (Then he sees Shirley, and it's like he totally snaps out of the hypnosis). Shirl!!!
He rushes to her side and groans at what he sees, cuts and bruises all over her, and both of her legs in casts.
Carmine: Fonz? What happened?
Fonzie relates the story of the accident to him.
Carmine: Oh my gosh, Angelface. (he looks at Fonzie, and Fonzie realizes what he's thinking.)
Fonzie(eyes "misty"): They don't know. They say she might have some internal injuries, but they're not sure. Hey, I'm gonna leave you two alone now, OK? (Carmine nods silently)
Carmine: Oh, Shirley, if only I could have told you how I felt! I never expected this to happen, I don't know what to say... (Just then he gets an idea and starts singing.) Earth Angel, earth angel. The one I ador-re... I'll love you fore-e-ver, and ever mo-orre. I'm just a foool, a fool in love with...
Shirley(voice a whisper): That--that's nice Carmine.
Carmine: Shirley! You're awake!
Shirley: Yeah, I have been all this time, but I'm just to lazy to open my eyes. What time is it?
Carmine: 4:30.
Shirley: What? How could I have overslept that long?
Carmine: You didn't oversleep, you were in a car wreck and you're in the hospital.
Shirley: Oh, yeah, in Hawaii, I remember now. (Her whisper takes on a depressed tone) Is Rosie here too?
Carmine: Of course not! I haven't seen her since she tried to get me hypnotized.
Shirley: What?
Oooh. Sounds like foul play... What will our heroes do next??? J/k that was really corny I was jokin' :-) Anyway, stay tuned!
