April 27, 1999 Show starts in the Bauer kitchen, with Rick and Abby flirting around, very cute! Michelle walks in..they basically make alot of small talk here, they are both telling her they are glad she is back, and ask her how Ed was. Abby asked her if she got a chance to sort things out. Michelle said yeah she had a chance to think alot. She said things sorted themselves out, told them that Dresse are together. She said she saw it coming and she and jesse couldnt go back to the way things used to be. A: what about Danny? M: I'm really the furthest thing from Dannys mind right now. Millennium Danny is sitting at the bar thinking about michelle and him in the park, when he is telling her how naive she is, and how easy to manipulate. he is looking extremly low. Pilare walks up behind him: P: take it easy danny D: what do you think I am doing? I'm taking it easy P: I dont know what you're doing, you said you spoke to mother D: yeah and she wont be bothering you, I told you that P: what did you do? D: what do you mean what did I do? I acted like a santos. A couple of theats, couple pieces of broken furniture, it was beautiful, I was a real tough guy (smiling, orders another drink). P: (to the bartender) he has had enough D: dont listen to her she's my kid sister P: why are you acting like this? Some guy comes up from behind Pilar and says we need some pretzels chiquita, what are you lying down on the job, or maybe that is your job, then he grabs her and she tells him to stop, he says there is a fifty buring a hole in his pocket. Danny comes up and turns him around and nails him in the face. danny grabs him by the hair and says you wanted some pretzels, you asked for pretzels throws some in his face(LMAO) who are you calling chiquita, chiquita? who's this your rescue team (a bunch of guys are walking up) cmon guys lets go, whos going first? P: screaming for them to stop says-dont you know who this is? are you stupid or something? This is Danny Santos All the guys back away and say oh sorry I had no idea. D: whats the matter with you? Thought you hated being a santos? why did you use our name like that? P: because I was scared for you. Dont you understand, you're acting crazy, you're acting like a maniac.

She wants to take me on? good luck to her she's gonna need it P: no you're her son she loves you D:she loves you more. But that's alright she should. Listen, you really are, your better than all of us, thats why you gotta get outta here, peanut! You gotta go, if you stay here you will never have a real relationship, listen to me, you will never have a real marriage, the family will always be there lying down with you at night. Coming between you, you will never have a chance. P: no, you are not talking about me, are you? this is about you and michelle thats why you're acting like this! Thats why you are so crazy! D: there's only one solution for you, its for you to get outta town, to get the hell away from this family commercial, danny is really drunk, he and pilar are walking to the bar, he has his arm around her. he kisses her cheek and says i love you peanut P: i love you big brother, but you have had a little too much to drink D: no listen to me I want you to listen. I have some money stashed, enough for you to start a whole new life. No listen this is important, I want you to go out west or north. P: why? why? D: because it is a beautiful part of the country, and you will be safe there P: are you serious? D: you can leave the country altogether, go to europe, i dont care just stay away from that school of yours, its not safe there P: you are not serious D: I am dead serious, if you stay here you will never break free of this family P :no danny I already have D: NO NO you havent! You think you have but you havent, I know trust me, look at me P: I dont like you talking like this danny, dont talk like your life is over D: the point is pilar, your life is not over P: OMG what happened to you? when we were kids you used to tell me everything was possible, you were so full of hopes and dreams D: well sometimes it just takes a little dose of reality to flush those things out of your system, thats all P: nothing is behind you, everything's ahead of you still have your whole life to turn around to do what you want with D: maybe i should go with you huh? then we can just get the hell out together, what do you think? P: no that will just mean you lost, and that the family still has control of you, and you won't have michelle either D: I'm gonna get another drink P: danny, no it's your turn to listen to me...LISTEN TO ME! If you love michelle you have to go after her, don't let mother win. back to carmen and Ben C: dont presume too much cause you saw how upset I was over my daughter B: you were more than upset carmen C: you're making much too much of this B: you broke down, you cried your heart out C: enough B: alright if you wanna pretend it didnt happen its ok C: you work for me, never forget that B: I am not forgetting it carmen, but you hired me as your personal counsel, personal. Which means the closer I am to you the better I am able to advise you and keep you from making mistakes which is what this is. If you send your son to jail you are making a huge mistake. you are further alienating him and pushing him further away, from the family than he already is C; he already has gone too far B: how? C: my son danny tried to strangle one of my men right before my eyes B: Why? C: to make a point B: Ahhhh C: so you see why he has to be controlled. If this behaviour continues hes gonna tear this family apart, blow this whole thing wide open. But whats most upsetting is that he might get himself killed, and i will do anything to keep that from happening B: yeah but this isnt the way carmen Carmen gets a phone call C: one of my people spotted danny, i am going to find him B:I am going too I will find a way to handle this end scene Bauer kitchen A: why dont you tell me about him, tell me what he is like? M: he is not a criminal like the rest of his family A: thats not what I want to know michelle M:I know A: why dont you tell me why he makes you feel the way he does M: i dont know how i feel about him A: i think you do, i can see it in your eyes M: OK...um...sigh he's strong, and he's gentle, and he's really passionate, about things, about life. he sees life with this incredible intensity, he just feels it. When he looks at me it is like he is looking into my soul. I have never felt like that at all before A: i can see that in your eyes too M: and you know there is another side of him too, I mean i saw it when we went to the priest's office before we got married A: right I remember, and there was someting that the priest wanted you to write down M: Yes! he wanted us to write down what we expected out of a marriage. Can i just tell you how similar our anwers were, and how scary I mean practically the same thing A: well what is it that you want michelle? M: I want a husband who is my friend, and who is a partner and who is gonna challenge me to be better than I am A: I like that M: I like that too, it's relly ironic how we were completly thrown into this marriage for all the wrong reasons and then a priest showed us how incredibly compatible we are A: what about now? M: what about now? A: well it seems to me that you're more compatible now than you eer were. If he can see into your soul M: abby, i dont know if we have a chance anymore. i dont even if we had one to begin with, or if i just created that in my mind. Because in the beginning I was fighting him and i couldnt see the good parts of him, I was so busy pushing him away and resenting him A: but i am talking about now michelle M: i know but i just want a piece of the past you know? i just want a piece that i can hold onto like our wedding night that I can go back to, or the time at the lighthouse when he was so gentle with me, he was so caring and I couldnt respond cause i was so anxious or frightend. I dont know why i am doing this to myself, its over , its too late A: michelle sweetie, i dont think so I dont think so at all end scene back to millennium P: listen to me danny, listen, just do it, you have to stay and fight for what you want. Michelle is what you want. D: pilar cmon you dont know what you are talking about...you dont P: if you run away, mother will take everything from you D: I cant listen to one of your sermons without a drink P: I guess you dont care enough, that it doesnt really matter to you, that the guy i looked up to, when I was little practically worshipped (really getting to him here) just doesnt exist anymore. I have to go and clear some tables In comes carmen and ben C: to pilar...sighs..Pilar P: you're in my way mother C: look at you, can wait tables, you can play games, but its gonna end, you will come back to me, you come back home where you belong D: is this woman harassing you pilar? C: no no danny not at all, but I am worried about you D: yeah you're worried that i might casue problems fro you B: well maybe if you listened to your mother D: oh its the new mouth piece earning his retainer B: (starts to say something again) D: LALAALALALA ABLA BLA (moving his hand like a mouth...OMG ROTFLMAO) spare me the legal jargon, counselor C: i see you've been drinking again LMAO he leans toward her and breathes in her face D: you got something to say to me say it C: danny i realize life has been difficult for you in SF D: difficult, difficult C: alot has happened D: get to the point, i've got a date with a margarita C: i've been in contact with your uncle frederico, out west, he says he can use you right away, and i think you can use a change of scenery as well P: dont listen to her danny, dont do it, dont listen to her Back to the kitchen A: i am really sorry if you think I have crossed the line, with you but i love you so much M: oh I know of course A: I want the best for you M: of course you do abby, you did not cross the line, you could never be out of line at all A: oh i think I might have gone over the egde just a little, but i think your problem is you want everythng resolved immediately, one way or another. M: so how patient am i supposed to be A: well that depends on how bad you want it. but things have a way of working themselves out in their own time, and you have time M: do I? A: danny will still be here Back to millenium P: danny you cant let this happen D: what do you mean? P: no I mean mother keeping you under her thumb. sending you away out west is her way of doing that. dont you see its gonna drag you back under her claws, this is the time for you to make a stand, break free and go after michelle, danny D: lets go (he has his arm around pilar) I have considered your offer and i will go out west to help unlce frederico C: i am so pleased D: ah dont be, on one condition, i will go if you leave pilar alone C: i dont understand D: yes you do, you understand perfectly. dont mess with me, she is to live where she wants. she is to see who she wants, be whoever she wants, in other words she is to be free to live her life C: alright D you better stick to to it mother, cause if you dont, you are gonna have a very very angry son on your hands and you wont like that, you wont like that at all
