[The Banner House]
[The day Doctor David Banner slipped into a coma for three hours]
Laura Bixby[inside]: What’s the verdict from the doctors?
Carolyn Banner: The verdict was that I have been cured of my illness for good and it can never come back. *looks around for David*. Where’s David?
Laura: He’s not home. Took the General Lee to Cooter’s for a re-examination before inspection. *hears the General Lee pulling in the driveway.* Sounds like David’s back. I wonder how the General did. *David comes through the door*. Hey, David. How did the General Lee do?
David Banner[hurrying upstairs]: Just fine. It’ll pass. *Laura and Carolyn are confused*.
Carolyn: What’s the matter with David?
Laura: I don’t know. He was fine when he left. You know ol’ Cooter wouldn’t do nothing to make him angry. *remembers something*. Oh, yeah. Dr. Carlton called telling David his dark side is settling in and that’s why his voice has been changing back and forth.
Carolyn: You know, David did sound pretty different when he told us the General Lee was just fine.
Laura: I’m going upstairs to talk to him. Maybe his dark side finally settled in and he’s starting to change.
Carolyn: Sounds good. Let me know what happens so I can write it down, for the record.
[Upstairs]
Laura[knocking on David’s door]: David? Are you okay in there? Carolyn and I are wondering about you.
David[coming out]: I’m okay. The reason that I ran upstairs was my “dark-priminal” side is, and is still settling in so…
Laura[putting hand on David’s]: It’s okay, David. We understand what you’re going through. You don’t have to hide it from us. *smiles*
David[smiles]: Okay. I promise I won’t hide anything. *all the sudden, he begins to have white eyes and has a seizure*.
Laura[worried]: David? Carolyn! Something’s wrong with David! *she runs upstairs*
Carolyn: What’s wrong, Laura? *sees David with white eyes*. Uh-oh! I better call Dr. Carlton.
Laura: Please hurry! *puts arms around David*. It’ll be okay, David. We’ll get Dr. Carlton here.
[At the Hazzard County Hospital]
Dr. Carlton: Hey, guys.
Laura[voice breaking]: How’s…David? Is he gonna be okay?
Dr. Carlton: He’s in a coma right now but he’ll be just fine. What happened?
Laura: Well, we were outside his room, talking, then all the sudden he got white eyes & started to have a seizure.
Dr. Carlton: White eyes and seizures? That means his “dark-priminal” side has finally settled in. I think I better get to work. I’ll talk to y’all later. *Miley Ray Cyrus comes over*
Miley Ray Cyrus: Hey, y’all. I heard about David from Selena and Cooter. Is he okay?
Laura: He’s in a coma but he’ll be out of it in a couple of hours. Carol and I are gonna go and see him. *They walk towards Banner’s room*
[Room 104: David Banner’s hospital room; David’s in a coma]
Laura[next to David’s bed]: David, please wake up. Carolyn, Miley and I don’t want nothing to happen to you.
Carolyn[puts hand on her shoulder]: He’ll wake up, Laura. I guess we’re gonna have to wait for a while. [whispers]. I hope he does wake up soon
[4 hrs. later, David still hasn’t waken up]
Miley Ray: Carol, Laura, I hope that David wakes up pretty soon. Y’all remember what David used to tell us: “You be good to yourselves if something ever happens to me”?
Carolyn: I remember that. I think right now this would be a good time to be with him while he’s in this…coma.
Laura: Yeah. Hope he comes out of this.
Dr. Carlton: How’s David?
Laura: Not too good. He’s been in this coma for three hours. Will he ever come out of it?
Dr. Carlton[looks at her papers]: From the look of David’s health, he’ll come out of it just fine but he may be a little different on account of his dark-priminal side putting him into this in the first place.
Carolyn[walks over towards the door]: I’m gonna go outside for a while. Let me know when he wakes up.
Miley Ray[quietly]: Okay. *Carolyn walks out of room*. I wonder what’s going on with Carolyn.
Laura: I think Carol doesn’t like seeing David in a coma. He could be a completely different person or he may be the same David Banner as he was before.
Miley Ray: I’ll go outside and talk to her. *she leaves room*
PA: Doctor Anne Carlton, please report to the ER. Doctor Carlton to the ER.
Dr. Carlton: I better get going. See you later, Laura. *leaves room and Laura’s the only one in the room with David, holding his hand*.
Laura[whispering]: David…please come out of this alive. Carolyn, Miley and I hate to see any-thing happen to you. We all love you too much for something to happen. *tears running down her face*. Please, David.
[Outside]
Miley Ray[seeing Carolyn outside]: Hey, Carolyn. Are you okay? Laura and I are wondering about you since you left the room.
Carolyn: I’m okay. I’m just thinking about all of the good times I had with David before this dark-priminal side of his took control. I…don’t how I’m gonna deal with this.
Miley Ray: Just think: David’s gonna have a more rough time dealing with it because it’s a severe condition he’s dealing with. It’s gonna be a rough time but we’re gonna have to help each other through it. I have an idea. *hands her a paper*. When we all go home, why don’t you listen to my song called “Goodbye” and think of all the times you’ve had with him. Let’s go back inside and see how David and Laura’s doing.
[David’s hospital room; Laura takes guitar out and starts singing “I Miss You” by Miley Ray Cyrus]
Laura[singing]: Sha la-la-la-la. Sha-la-la-la-la. You used to call me your angel. Said I was sent straight down from heaven. You’d hold me close in your arms. I love the way you felt so strong. I never wanted you to leave. I wanted you to stay here holding me. I miss you. I miss your smile. And I still shed a tear every once in a while. Even though it’s different now, you’re still here somehow. My heart won’t let you go. And I need you to know. I miss you. Sha la-la-la-la. I miss you.
Carolyn[joining in]: You used to call me your dreamer. And now I’m living out my dream. Oh how I wish you could see. Everything that’s happening for me. I’m thinking back on the past. It’s true that time is flying too fast.
Laura, Carolyn and Miley: I miss you. I miss your smile. And I still shed a tear every once in a while. Even though it’s different now, you’re still here somehow. My heart won’t let you go. And I need you to know. I miss you. Sha la-la-la-la. I miss you.
Miley Ray: I know you’re in a better place [yeah]. But I wish I could see your face [oh]. I know you are where you need to be. Even though it’s not there with me.
Laura: I miss you. I miss your smile. And I still shed a tear every once in a while. Even though it’s different now, you’re still here somehow. My heart won’t let you go. And I need you to know. I miss you. Sha la-la-la-la. I miss you.
Carolyn: I miss you. I miss your smile. And I still shed a tear every once in a while. Even though it’s different now, you’re still here somehow. My heart won’t let you go. And I need you to know. I miss you. Sha la-la-la-la. I miss you. *they stop singing*.
Miley Ray: Y’all sing that song wonderfully. That song really fits the situation we’re in. I have a feeling that David was listening to y’all. *smiles*
[Later on]
Carolyn[sighs]: It’s been five hours and David’s still in a coma. I have a feeling that he’s not coming out of this.
Dr. Carlton[comes in]: How’s David been doing? *sees he’s still in a coma.* Looks like he’s not doing too good. How long has it been since he slipped into this coma?
Carolyn: It’s been at least four hours. [sighs]. I think his “dark-priminal” side’s never gonna let him wake up. *Laura walks towards David with tears in her eyes and holds his hand*
Laura[voice breaking]: David. *runs hand through his hair*. It’s Laura. Please wake up. Carolyn, Miley and I are here, praying for you to wake up. We don’t want anything to happen to you. *Carolyn and Miley Ray walk over towards her, comforting her and she lays her head on the bed*.
Carolyn[whispers]: This is really hard for her. I mean, she really loves David because he saved from her father, who didn’t understand about Banner’s condition.
Miley Ray: I couldn’t blame her for wanting to leave her dad after he didn’t understand his condition. Maybe if he saw David like this, he would understand. *All of the sudden, Jack McGee and Laura’s father, Mike, come in*
Mike Schulte: Hey. I heard about David being in a coma so I came to see him. *sees Laura next to his bed, crying*. Laurie, what’s wrong?
Laura[whispering]: I want David to wake up. It’s hard for me and all of us to see him like this.’
Jack McGee: I never thought I would see Dr. Banner like this and I never thought his condition was this serious.
Carolyn: No one ever knew this. I know that David’s thinking about everyone he loves right now.
Mike: Laurie, listen, I’m really sorry for not listening to you and being so hard on David. How did he get into this coma in the first place?
Laura: You remember when he acted really different? Well, he was orking on an experiment and it backfired, sending him into a dark-priminal state. All of the sudden, he had a seizure and had white eyes then just slipped into this…coma.
Mike: Oh, my. *looks at David*. I should have never been so hard on him.
McGee: It’s not your fault, Mike and it’s not his fault either. I know he’s a good scientist and doc. He doesn’t deserve to be in this situation. Listen, could y’all tell him that Mike and I were here? His friend, Mike Cassidy, is coming too. We’ll see y’all later. *they leave while Mike Cassidy comes in*.
Carolyn[running over to Mike]: Mike!
Mike Cassidy[hugging Carolyn]: Hey, Carol. How’s David doing?
Carolyn[voice breaking]: Not too good. He’s been…in a..coma for…over five hours. He’s still alive but no one knows if he’s coming out of this. I really hope he does. *puts her head on his shoulder*.
Laura[still holding David’s hand; brushes his hair]: David…we’re all here for you. Please wake up. Carolyn, Mike, McGee, Miley Ray and I are here wanting you to wake up. *puts her head down, crying*
Mike[walks toward Laura]: It’ll be okay, Laura. He’ll…wake up soon. *smiles*
Laura[looks up; voice still breaking]: I hope so. *Everyone stands around David’s bed and all of the sudden, David slowly opens his eyes and brushes Laura’s hair.*
David[softly]: Laura, are you okay? *Laura looks up and sees David with his eyes open*.
Laura[voice breaking]: David! *gets up quickly and hugs David tightly. Everyone sees that David has finally waken up after seven hours in a coma*
Carolyn: David, how are you doing?
David[softly]: Not doing too bad. What’s…going on?
Miley Ray: You’ve been in a coma for seven hours. You & Laura were outside your room and talking when you got white eyes and a seizure. Dr. Carlton says your dark-priminal side has finally settled in. The condition is also..terminal.
David[sees Laura with tears in her eyes]: Are you okay, Laura?
Laura[smiling]: I’m fine now. I’m just glad that you’re okay.
Carolyn: We’ve been here the whole time. By the way, Jack McGee and Mike Schulte came by to see how you were doing. Mike Cassidy’s here, too. *smiles*. We’re glad that you’re okay. Laura has been taking it really hard. She thought you weren’t gonna wake up.
David: Don’t worry. I’m okay now. *Dr. Carlton comes in*
Dr. Carlton[sees David with eyes open]: Hello, David. How are you feeling?
David: Good. Is it okay for me to go home? I’d like to go back home after being in the hospital for several hours.
Dr. Carlton[looks at papers]: You may go home, David. I would like to tell you that your dark side has finally settled in. It’ll be a couple more hours before you get the full effect. I want you to be very careful. Promise me?
David: I promise.
[The Banner House; 7:30 PM]
David[sees Laura walking upstairs]: Laura? Could I talk to you for a minute? *Laura walks over to the couch where David’s sitting*.
Laura: Sure. *he pats a spot next to him on the couch*.
David[rubs her arm]: Laura, what were you thinking when I slipped into that coma for seven hours?
Laura[moves closer]: I…kept thinking that you weren’t gonna come out of it. I kept thinking about what you always told us if something happened to you: be good to yourself if something ever happens.
David: I really meant for y’all to take of yourself.
Laura: Yeah. No one, including me, wanted nothing like this to happen to you.
David: To tell you the truth, I didn’t know this ‘dark-priminal’ side would ever put me into a coma. It never happened before.
Laura: Was it in an advanced state before the second injection?
David: No. If I never did the second injection, none of this would have ever happened. *gets up in an angry mood*.
Laura[gets up and puts her hands on his shoulder]: It’s not your fault, David. You didn’t know it was going to happen. Things happen when they’re not expected.
David[turns around to face her, smiling]: I know. I’m sorry for getting angry. I’m just angry that this experiment backfired on me again and nothing’s been going right since then. My condition is terminal, Carol and I split up.
Laura: David, Carol still loves you. Just because y’all split doesn’t mean she doesn’t love you. What are you gonna do now?
David: Probably go to sleep. I know I’ve been in a coma for several hours but it wasn’t much of a sleep. [puts hand on her cheek] and I’ll be just fine, Laura. I’ll wake up this time. *smiles*
Laura: I know you will. Goodnight, David.
David: Night, Laura. See you tomorrow.
Laura: See ya tomorrow.
Carolyn[lying while David’s sitting up, resting his hand on her chest]: How are you feeling now, David?
David[smiles]: I’m doing better now. I’m glad that I woke up from that coma after being in it for seven hours. I didn’t think I was gonna come out of it like I did. Would you like to know some-thing?
Carolyn: Yeah?
David: I heard you guys singing “I Miss You” by Miley Cyrus. That got my mind started thinking about everyone that I love so that’s what woke me up in my brain and my dark side told me to wake up because if I didn’t, I was gonna lose everyone I love and my life.
Carolyn: I’m glad you did wake up. Laura, Miley and I wouldn’t know what do if you didn’t. *she looks at the clock*. Would you like to go to sleep, David? It’s getting pretty late.
David[smiles]: Sounds good to me. Even though I was sleeping in that coma, I still would just like to have a normal sleep. Carol…I know that we split because of my ‘condition’ but I still love you no matter what.
Carolyn[brushes David’s cheek]: I love you too, David. Even though we split, we still are gonna love each other no matter what happens. Night, David.
David: Night, Carolyn. *leans forward, gives her a deep kiss then she moves over, climbs into bed with her and she moves closer, lying her head on his chest.*
[The next morning]
David[coming downstairs and sees Laura]: Hey, Laura. How are you doing, sweetheart?
Laura: Doing really good. How was your sleep last night since coming out of that coma?
David: Better. That coma I was in wasn’t very comfortable at all.
*Carolyn comes out*. Hey, Carol.
Carolyn: Hey, David. Laura. How are y’all doing this morning?
Laura: Doing well. How about yourself?
Carolyn: Doing really well. Just happy that ol’ David here is okay and he’s not in that terrible coma anymore.
David: I’m glad to be out that thing and alive. *smiles*. I didn’t think my dark-priminal side was gonna let me live. It worried me a lot.
Carolyn: What are y’all doing today?
David: I don’t know. Probably go down to Hazzard Pond for a while. *smiles*. What about you, Carol?
Carolyn: I think I’ll go, too.
Laura: Me too. *smiles*
[The Hazzard Pond] [David’s dark side condition has surfaced]
David[lying down on a blanket with Laura leaning close against him and his head resting on hers]: How are you feeling, Laura?
Laura[smiles as David rubs her shoulders]: Knowing that you’re out that coma, doing much better. How about yourself, David?
David: Doing better knowing that I’m out of the coma and still alive. *a breeze blows and he pulls her closer towards him.*

Dr. Carlton[comes in]: How’s David been doing? *sees he’s still in a coma.* Looks like he’s not doing too good. How long has it been since he slipped into this coma?

Carolyn[running over to Mike]: Mike!
Mike Cassidy[hugging Carolyn]: Hey, Carol. How’s David doing?
Carolyn[voice breaking]: Not too good. He’s been…in a..coma for…over five hours. He’s still alive but no one knows if he’s coming out of this. I really hope he does. *puts her head on his shoulder*.

David: Don’t worry. I’m okay now. *Dr. Carlton comes in*
Dr. Carlton[sees David with eyes open]: Hello, David. How are you feeling?
David: Good. Is it okay for me to go home? I’d like to go back home after being in the hospital for several hours.
Dr. Carlton[looks at papers]: You may go home, David. I would like to tell you that your dark side has finally settled in. It’ll be a couple more hours before you get the full effect. I want you to be very careful. Promise me?
David: I promise.

David[sees Laura walking upstairs]: Laura? Could I talk to you for a minute? *Laura walks over to the couch where David’s sitting*.
Laura: Sure. *he pats a spot next to him on the couch*.
David[rubs her arm]: Laura, what were you thinking when I slipped into that coma for seven hours?
Laura[moves closer]: I…kept thinking that you weren’t gonna come out of it. I kept thinking about what you always told us if something happened to you: be good to yourself if something ever happens.
David: I really meant for y’all to take of yourself.
Laura: Yeah. No one, including me, wanted nothing like this to happen to you.
David: To tell you the truth, I didn’t know this ‘dark-priminal’ side would ever put me into a coma. It never happened before.
Laura: Was it in an advanced state before the second injection?
David: No. If I never did the second injection, none of this would have ever happened. *gets up in an angry mood*.
Laura[gets up and puts her hands on his shoulder]: It’s not your fault, David. You didn’t know it was going to happen. Things happen when they’re not expected.
David[turns around to face her, smiling]: I know. I’m sorry for getting angry. I’m just angry that this experiment backfired on me again and nothing’s been going right since then. My condition is terminal, Carol and I split up.
Laura: David, Carol still loves you. Just because y’all split doesn’t mean she doesn’t love you. What are you gonna do now?
David: Probably go to sleep. I know I’ve been in a coma for several hours but it wasn’t much of a sleep. [puts hand on her cheek] and I’ll be just fine, Laura. I’ll wake up this time. *smiles*
Laura: I know you will. Goodnight, David.
David: Night, Laura. See you tomorrow.
Laura: See ya tomorrow.
Carolyn[lying while David’s sitting up, resting his hand on her chest]: How are you feeling now, David?
David[smiles]: I’m doing better now. I’m glad that I woke up from that coma after being in it for seven hours. I didn’t think I was gonna come out of it like I did. Would you like to know some-thing?
Carolyn: Yeah?
David: I heard you guys singing “I Miss You” by Miley Cyrus. That got my mind started thinking about everyone that I love so that’s what woke me up in my brain and my dark side told me to wake up because if I didn’t, I was gonna lose everyone I love and my life.
Carolyn: I’m glad you did wake up. Laura, Miley and I wouldn’t know what do if you didn’t. *she looks at the clock*. Would you like to go to sleep, David? It’s getting pretty late.
David[smiles]: Sounds good to me. Even though I was sleeping in that coma, I still would just like to have a normal sleep. Carol…I know that we split because of my ‘condition’ but I still love you no matter what.
Carolyn[brushes David’s cheek]: I love you too, David. Even though we split, we still are gonna love each other no matter what happens. Night, David.
David: Night, Carolyn. *leans forward, gives her a deep kiss then she moves over, climbs into bed with her and she moves closer, lying her head on his chest.*
[The next morning]
David[coming downstairs and sees Laura]: Hey, Laura. How are you doing, sweetheart?
Laura: Doing really good. How was your sleep last night since coming out of that coma?
David: Better. That coma I was in wasn’t very comfortable at all.
*Carolyn comes out*. Hey, Carol.
Carolyn: Hey, David. Laura. How are y’all doing this morning?
Laura: Doing well. How about yourself?
Carolyn: Doing really well. Just happy that ol’ David here is okay and he’s not in that terrible coma anymore.
David: I’m glad to be out that thing and alive. *smiles*. I didn’t think my dark-priminal side was gonna let me live. It worried me a lot.
Carolyn: What are y’all doing today?
David: I don’t know. Probably go down to Hazzard Pond for a while. *smiles*. What about you, Carol?
Carolyn: I think I’ll go, too.
Laura: Me too. *smiles*
[The Hazzard Pond] [David’s dark side condition has surfaced]
David[lying down on a blanket with Laura leaning close against him and his head resting on hers]: How are you feeling, Laura?
Laura[smiles as David rubs her shoulders]: Knowing that you’re out that coma, doing much better. How about yourself, David?
David: Doing better knowing that I’m out of the coma and still alive. *a breeze blows and he pulls her closer towards him.*
