wouldbedorothyI know I'm supposed to talk about my life in these things, but I much prefer gushing about my couples, so let's return briefly to #21 (because I've been watching my Soap DVD's). Danny and Elaine, on the surface, sound very similar to GH's Sonny and Lily... Her father was a gangster who forced Danny to marry her, and once they were finally happy she got killed. But, greatly due to Elaine being so... I can't even think of a word for her personality, except maybe gangbusters, lol... plus she and Danny's unique exchanges, they remind me a little of Sonny and Carly and a lot of no other couple I've ever seen. I mean, have you ever heard of a first meeting like this?
Danny worked for Elaine's dad but was supposed to be killed after refusing to do a job (kill his stepfather). He ran for a while, always in disguises, but got tired of it and decided he needed to just talk to the guy, which he would do by breaking into his house (which D's brother Jody said was like "a chicken walking in the front door of Colonel Sanders" lol). Turns out he breaks in, wearing all black and a ski mask, through Elaine's room. The guard dogs start barking, scare him, he trips and tumbles over her bed (which she's in), she screams and grabs her gun, aims it...
Elaine: Don't move or I'll kill you, I swear it.
Danny: I'm not movin', I'm not movin'.
E: Who are you? (turns light on) What the hell are you doing here?
D: Shh shh, please.
E: Don't shush me, you idiot, I live here.
D: I'm not gonna hurt you, I swear.
E: Of course not, I've got the gun!
D: True. Listen, I just came to talk. That's all, really.
E: (sarcastic) Oh, he came to talk.
D: Listen, do you think I could lower my arms? I got bursitis in my shoulder.
E: You make one move, one false move, and you'll be confetti. (D nods) Okay now slowly lower your arms.
D: Oh thanks.
E: Now take off the mask!
D: (takes off mask and smiles) Hi.
E: (suddenly smitten) Hellooo.
D: Now listen, I'm not a burglar or anything.
E: Are you a rapist? (she asks hopefully, lol)
D: No! No, no, I'm nothing like that.
E: (disappointed) Oh... Well, I wish you could've broken in a couple hours ago when I had some makeup on.
D: Yeah, listen the reason that I came here was to talk to Mr. Leftkowitz. Is he around here anywhere?
E: Hey, what I wanna know is how'd you get past Daddy's security system? Fly?
D: He's your father??
E: No, I'm living in this fortress because I'm Rapunzel.
D: Oh WOW, I didn't know he was your father! (starts to leave)
E: (catches his arm, gun still pointed at him) Are you absolutely sure you're not a rapist?
D: Uh, no... I mean, no I'm not! No, I'm not a rapist... Listen, your old man's got a contract out on me. Now what do you think my chances would be of talking him out of it?
Guard: (outside the door) You all right, Miss Leftkowitz?
E: I'm fine!
Guard: Sorry to bother you. We thought there might be a prowler. The dogs are going crazy.
E: Well, if you'd stop beating 'em and start feeding 'em, maybe they'd calm down, you yutz!
(Guard goes away)
D: Thanks.
E: What's your name?
D: Danny.
E: I'm Elaine.
D: Hi.
E: Hi. (both flirty) Oh God, I hope he doesn't kill you, you're adorable! (moves up close to touch him)
D: Well, somehow I don't think my looks are gonna carry much weight with him.
E: Well, maybe I can help you.
D: How?
E: Well, he is my father.
D: Boy, I'd really appreciate it.
E: And how would you show your appreciation?
D: Well, I'd thank you.
(E shakes her head no)
D: Maybe... maybe buy you a gift?
E: Eh eh. (almost close enough to kiss him)
D: Well, I... (walks away a little) I don't know what you want.
E: Get your clothes off.
D: (starts laughing) Cute! You got a sense of humor!
E: (points the gun again) I said get your clothes off.
D: What are you, serious?
(E cocks the gun)
D: (stops laughing) You're serious.
(She smiles and nods)
D: Boy, this is gonna be tough. I mean, under this kinda pressure... Don't expect much.
(starts taking clothes off while E stands there giddy)
