==========================


Scene: Caitie's and Val's lockers.

(They're talking at their lockers and Val is looking at a sheet of paper we can assume is either a progress report or something else grade related.)

Caitie: Of course you're blowing home ec. You could burn water.

Val: I, I ruined my main course. I even messed up the salad. Now I've gotta come up with a killer dessert to save my grade. You! You, you could help me!

Caitie: You know, I, I don't think so.

Val: (Excited.) Yeah Caitie, you're an incredible cook.

Caitie: You see, teaching you to cook would be a full time job. And I kinda have a life so. . .

Val: Come on. Just work with me this one weekend and I promise I'll keep your closet chef thing a secret. Please?

Caitie: Okay, well what do you have in mind?

Val: Well, what's the most awesome dessert you've ever made?

Caitie: Uh, Croquant Bouche. (Val looks interested.) But forget that. It's way too hard. The recipe requires a psychological background check.

Val: Oh no, no that's perfect. I, I have to score big. I need this grade. (They start walking.) Please. Please.

Caitie: Uh, no.

Val: Please, please, please.

Caitie: Okay.

Val: Oh, thank you. Thank you, thank you. (Hugs Caitie.)

Caitie: How do you mess up a salad?

Val: Um. . .

Scene: Outside in front of the station.

(Tyler, Hank and Jamie are outside hooking up a hose to some sort of nozzle. Brooke is watching.)

Hank: You sure you know what you're doing, man?

Jamie: Well it's a thing that washes cars. I mean how hard can it be? (To Brooke.) It's gonna cut our scrub time in half.

Brooke: Well, did you read the instructions?

Jamie: Like I need to.

Tyler: (Stands up holding a rubber washer.) What is this? (Guys just look at it in confusion. Really, who doesn't know what a washer is?)

Alex: (Off screen.) Hey guys! (We see him walking.) Listen up! We're gonna have a visitor this weekend. (We see that Val is there too.) An actor will be doing ride-alongs to research a role in his next movie.

Hank: Anybody famous?

Alex: (Seems reluctant to say.) Galileo Tennision.

(Everyone but Jamie gets excited and starts talking at once.)

Val: No way!

Brooke: No!

Tyler: He's coming here?!

Alex: But the best part is, in exchange for our cooperation the movie studio is going to give us a brand new, semi-automatic defibrillator.

Tyler: How cool is that?

Hank: Yeah, our defib is like from the Jurassic period. (Alex walks away to talk to someone over by the building.)

Brooke: Okay, I think Galileo Tennision is like, my favorite actor.

Val: No, no, no Brooke. He's not an actor. He's like one of the biggest movie stars in the world.

Hank: Oh oh oh oh, he was so cool in 'Outworlder'. Oh. (He turns to Tyler.)

Tyler and Hank: (Quoting some line from the movie.) And remember, wherever you go, I'm right behind you. (They sigh. And everyone but Jamie starts to laugh.)

Jamie: Guys, guys come on. Get over yourselves. He's just a guy who wears makeup for a living. (He turns the nozzle and the water sprays everywhere, soaking everyone. They scatter to try and get away from it. Alex and the woman he was talking to hide in a doorway.)

Brooke: Get it off me!

Hank: Turn it off! Turn it off!

Brooke: Stop it! Turn it off!

Tyler: I'm soaked! Read the instructions, man!

(Brooke wrings out her shirt and Val hit's Jamie on the arm.)

Alex: Hey guys! Guys guys guys guys guys, he's here.

(We see a long white limo pull to a stop. A man gets out (Mink).)

Mink: (Into a cell phone.) Yeah, we've just pulled up and it's looking good. (Another man gets out of the limo. (Galileo).) There's no crowd so far. I don't see any fan club groupies. Uh, I don’t know. I don't know about that. (Galileo Tennision checks his hair in the car window.) I'll definitely let you know about that.

(As soon as Galileo Tennision gets out of the car, the camera pans to Val, Brooke, Hank and Tyler looks star struck. Jamie's got a look on his face that says I-Can't-Believe-Them. Alex is there too, but he's just nodding and going along with it.)

Brooke: (Kind of in a breathless awe.) Wow. You are so. . . you. (Puts her hand on her head.)

[Opening Credits]

Scene: Outside the station.

(Continued from before opening credits.)

Mink: (On cell phone.) We're at the place and so far so good.

Alex: (Steps through the group.) Mr. Tennision, welcome to Kingsport EMS.

Galileo: Thanks man, happy to be here. (They shake hands.)

Mink: (Overly thrilled.) Isn't that great? He's happy to be here.

Alex: (Quietly to Galileo) We had a little trouble with the hose.

Galileo: So I see. (Takes his sunglasses off.)

Mink: (Off screen, still on the phone. Really quietly.) No no no, it's not a good time.

Galileo: (Looks at Val and takes one of her hands in his and kisses it.) Nice to meet you.

Val: (Babbling, clearly flustered.) It's- it's meet- meet to nice you too.

Brooke: (Quickly. Think of fans meeting their idols.) Mr. Tennision, I'm Brooke and I love your movies. (Shakes his hand.)

(In the background, Jamie just looks like he can't believe his friends are acting like they are.)

Hank: (Clearly start struck. He keeps grinning like an idiot.) Nice to meet you.

Galileo: Thanks. (Says something to Tyler.)

Tyler: (Same as Hank.) You too, you too. (Tyler won't stop shaking Galileo's hand.)

Galileo: (Looks back at Mink for help.) Mink, Mink.

Mink: (Steps in and detaches Tyler.) Yes, yes, that's nice. Thank you people. You're dripping on Mr. Tennision. (Galileo dries his hand on Mink's back.)

Scene: Starts in a hallway and eventually ends in the station's common room.

(The entire group is crammed into a hallway. They're walking. Alex has just given them the grand tour.)

Alex: Well, that's pretty much the whole place. If you guys have any questions um, don't hesitate to call me, alright.

Mink: Thanks Alex. (Mink puts a hand on Alex's shoulder and Alex look down at it with a look on his face.) That's all been very helpful. (Turns to the rest of Galileo's entourage.) You, take that office. You take that one and you go down the hall. (Points to people and offices as he gives orders.)

Alex: Hold on hold on, this is a working EMS station. We don't have the space for Mr. Tennision's entourage.

Mink: You've got to. He needs people.

Alex: But we use these offices.

Galileo: (Panicking a little.) No no no. No Mink, Mink, Mink, Mink, Mink, Who- who's gonna screen my phone calls, man? Who's gonna keep my schedule straight?

Brooke: Um, I can help with that. I do scheduling here at the station all the time.

(Mink moves closer to Galileo so they can talk 'Privately')

Mink: It might work.

Galileo: I don’t think so.

Mink: GT, come on. Give it a try. I'll make it work.

Galileo: Alright.

(The cell phone rings.)

Mink: (Draws it out.) Yeah. (To Galileo.) It's your nutritionist.

Galileo: Yeah?

Mink: Yeah.

Galileo: Yeah. (Takes the phone.) Ye-ah. Hey Stahl, listen baby, we've got to remix my herbal supplement. Believe it or not, my ear wax is starting to look a little dull. (Walks out past Brooke.)

Brooke: (Leans against the door and sighs, she's in awe again.) Uh, even his ear wax is special.

Mink: (To Tyler.) Where can we put Mr. Tennision's things?

Tyler: (Points.) Uh, right over there.

Mink: (Snaps his fingers for someone to do it.) Taylor.

Tyler: Tyler.

Mink: (Clearly doesn't care.) Yeah. (Puts his arm around Tyler's shoulders and lead him away from the group so they can have a private conversation. Eventually leads him into the garage.) You seem to be the brightest bulb in the group here so I'm sure I don't need to tell you that a star as big as Galileo needs someone to look out for him.

Tyler: Well, what can I do?

Mink: (Sees the garage is full of people. The go another way.) The press. They're always trying to make celebrities look bad. Now my job is to make our boy look good. So, if you could make sure that nothing happens to make him mad, then he won't do anything bad and we can keep a positive spin on things.

Tyler: I still don't really know what you want me-

Mink: (Annoyed he needs to be less subtle.) Okay. You guys need that heart zapper thing, right?

Tyler: Yeah.

Mink: And Galileo needs some good publicity, so no mess ups of foul ups, you help him, I help you. It's win-win.

Tyler: Okay, but what do you want me-

Mink: You'll be fine! He's a great guy, sweet really.

Galileo: (Pops out. Angry.) Mink, where's my suit, man?

Mink: Where's his suit? Where's his suit? Get it! Now! (Past Tyler.) Coming G! (To Tyler) Just uh, keep our little tale between us, okay?

Tyler: Okay.

(Mink goes to bring the suit to Galileo.)

Mink: Okay, here's your suit, your stuff's out there, I'll fax the kids your schedule and I'm only a phone call away. Ciao.

Galileo: (Looks at the suit in his hands.) Wire hanger. How many times do I have to tell them 'No wire hangers'? (Laughs. To the group.) Where can I change?

Brooke: Oh um, right over there Mr. Tennision.

Galileo: Thanks, and uh, call me G.

Brooke: (Breathless.) Okay. (Galileo walks by the group.)

Jamie: (Taunting.) Hey anybody still uh, call you Freckles?

Galileo: (Stops walking and turns to Jamie.) Okay, you know what? Don't ever call me that again, okay. Freckles was a character I played a long time ago and as far as I'm concerned, he's dead. (Walks away.)

Jamie: (To the group.) He certainly isn't dead on those Saturday morning reruns. (Mocking.) Hi daddy, I'm home and it's a wonderful day.

Hank: Uh, maybe he just wants us to forget that he was a goof ball now that he's a, you know, a big movie star.

Jamie: I heard he beat up a photographer once just for calling him Freckles.

Val: Jamie, you can't believe everything you read in the tabloids.

Tyler: Listen guys, Freckles was great. I mean we all used to love him in "Time Out For Family" but I think G's a little touchy about it so let's not bring it up again. (Not sure about the show title.)

(Galileo comes out dressing in a white jumpsuit.)

Val: Wow.

Galileo: Yeah, this is my uh, costume for the movie. I just thought I'd live in it a bit. Make it mine, you know what I'm talking about? (Hank nods.)

Jamie: You know, for what we do it's not really that practical to wear white.

Galileo: Yeah but, I'm the good guy. (Hank nods again. The alarm goes off and they all leave.) Alright, how come you guys don't have one of those poles you slide down?

Jamie: Well, mostly because we're on the ground floor. (Punches him lightly in the arm.)

Galileo: Ground floor. Right, check. (If I'm not mistaken, Val checks out his butt on her way out.)

Tyler: Come on, I'll show you the drill.

Scene: Accident site.

(We see a van with side crushed in and there's a man leaning against a car. Jamie walks in one direction. Val and Tyler walk in a different direction towards the man leaning against the car, while Hank, Galileo are led in a third direction by a cop. There's a woman sitting on the curb there. There are also a few cop cars around.)

Galileo: Where do I get a pair of those rubber gloves?

Hank: You don’t need gloves, you're here to observe. (To the woman on the ground.) Excuse me Ma'am, my name is Hank and I'm with Emergency Medical Services. (Galileo starts digging in one of the equipment bags.)

Woman: Oh, I don’t know what happened. (She's in tears and slightly confused.)

Hank: Did you lose consciousness at all?

Woman: I don’t know. The light was green and I went and boom.

Hank: G, the bag.

Galileo: Right. Bag coming in. Stat. (To the woman. Over dramatically and slightly louder than necessary.) Don't worry. You'll be fine.

(Cut over to Val at the other car. She's holding the drover's collar bone in place with her hand. The man is still in the car.)

Val: Try not to move your arm, okay? (The man nods. We see that Tyler is about a foot away from Val, resting one of his hands on top of the car. To Tyler.) It looks like we've got a broken collar bone here. (Galileo comes up behind Tyler)

Galileo: Got any extra gloves?

Tyler: What?

Galileo: Gloves.

Tyler: No. (Shakes his head in disbelief. Galileo's really worrying about gloves during an accident?

(Galileo goes over to where Jamie is now and starts looking through his bag. The woman Hank is treating falls over unconscious.)

Hank: Jamie, I need the saline stat!

Jamie: Coming right up! (Nods to Tyler to take his place. Sees that Tyler is on his way. Jamie yanks the bag away from Galileo, gives him a look and brings it to Hank. Tyler comes over to finish cleaning the head wound of another patient. Jamie sets the bag down near Hank and the patient and Galileo starts digging through it again. He finds gloves.)

Galileo: Bingo. (Puts them on. We see that Hank as put an oxygen mask over the woman he was treating.) Oh yeah. This is much better. (Hank and Jamie are hooking up an IV bag.) You guys uh, got anything else I can wear?

Hank: (Hands Galileo the IV bag.) Yeah, here. Hold this and don't move.

Galileo: Got it Chief.

Jamie: I'll get a stand. (Stands up and Hank pulls him back down.)

Hank: Let him hold it. It will keep him out of the way.

Galileo: (Pleased with himself.) Yeah. Good thing I found these gloves.

(Time cut. Cut to later after the call. The squad is loading up the ambulance.)

Tyler: I though G did pretty good for his first call.

Hank: Yeah, he makes a pretty good IV stand. (All four laugh. From off screen they hear Galileo scream. They stop laughing and all look worried. They run to the passenger side of the ambulance. There's a dark stain on the front of Galileo's uniform.)

Tyler: What? Did you cut yourself?

Galileo: No man, I spilled the iodine. (The guys walk away. Val stays.) Look at me. Look at me, I can't go out like this.

Val: Well extra suits at the station . . . we. . . have. (Realizes she just said something stupid.) I gotta go. Bye. Now. . . see. . . you. (Walks away, shaking her head, mentally yelling at herself.)

Galileo: What?

Scene: Lanier kitchen.

(Caitie is trying to teach Val to cook. There's a cookie sheet full of little burnt round things. Think of baking cookies and how the dough looks before you put the cookie sheet in the oven. Then think cooked, but the globs didn't spread out. Val has flour all over her shirt.)

Val: Uh Caitie, it's so embarrassing. Whenever I'm around him my brain short circuits and I start talking like Dr. Seuss. (The timer on the over dings. Val goes to take out what they're cooking. We see that there's two more cookies sheets of ruined stuff.) Oh please let this batch turn out.

Caitie: Fourth time's the charm.

Val: (Pulls out the cookie sheet and looks surprised.) Hey look, these rock.

Caitie: Hey, congrats. Okay, now you gotta fill 'em.

Val: Oh. (Goes to the fridge and pulls out a can of whipped cream and starts shaking it.)

Caitie: Uh, No, uh Val, that's for school pranks not fine desserts.

Val: Well I don’t know how to make whipped cream.

Caitie: No no, you need pastry cream. (Gets up and goes to the refrigerator to get out what Val needs.) Kay, you start with eggs and scalded milk. (Hands them to Val.)

Val: Oh, if I can burn water I can probably scald milk. Right?

Scene: Outside station.

(It's a photo shoot. There's a lot of cameras around the ambulance and the squad is having their pictures taken with Galileo. "You're A Superstar" by Love Inc plays.)

Mink: Okay, everybody gather round the ambulance please. That's it, quick quick quick quick.

(Galileo is in the middle. Val in directly on the left of him, with Brooke next to her and Jamie is on the far left. Tyler is standing to right of Galileo until Hank pushes his way in between. They fight for the sport briefly and Tyler wins. Mink takes something from Galileo.)

Galileo: Thanks Mink.

Mink: (Goes back to the photographers.) Okay, everybody look here. Big smile. (Camera flash.) Okay, that's it. Everybody out except uh, you young lady. (Indicating Val. She looks surprised, but goes along with it. Brooke looks jealous.)

Galileo: Barb?

Brooke: (Turns back.) Uh, Brooke.

Galileo: Did you get my Andes water?

Brooke: Still held up in Peruvian customs. But I picked up your dry cleaning, ordered that special mud mask and your masseuse is waiting in the rec room.

Galileo: Just get me that water, okay?

(Brooke walks back to Hank, Tyler and Jamie.)

Hank: One picture? I wasn't even with him.

Tyler: Well, that's what you get for trying to snake the inside position.

Jamie: Why do you care? He's just a guy. What's he got that we haven't got?

Tyler: Everything. (He's looking over at Galileo and Val. She's laughing at something Galileo said.)

Galileo: You have really beautiful eyes, I never noticed that.

Val: Oh. (Looks down.)

Galileo: No no, don't look away from me. Come on, look right into my eyes. (She does.) Thank you. (He turns to face the camera.)

Mink: Go. (Camera flash.)

Galileo: We done here? (He walks away.)

Scene: Station common room.

(Tyler and Hank are writing something at the kitchen counter and Jamie's on the laptop.)

Jamie: More news on G's PR screw up. (Tyler and Hank look up and come over.) I streamed a video from this pirate web site. Check this out.

(On the video we see Galileo shove someone up against the wall and then into something.)

Hank: Oh, that's some temper. Did he just shove that photographer into the ice machine?! (We see Galileo being dragged out by security. He's not going quietly.)

Tyler: Oh man, you see what happened to his face?

Jamie: All the guy did was call G 'Freckles'.

(Alarm goes off.)

Scene: Accident site.

(The ambulance pull up to what I think is a street corner by an ally. Galileo gets out of the ambulance and checks his hair. They wheel the gurney up on a sidewalk.)

Jamie: What happened here? I don't see any cars or anything.

Tyler: Maybe it was a fight. (To everyone.) Be on the look out for weapons.

(Tyler and Val treat a patient who's on the ground, leaning against a graffitied building. He's clutching his head in his hands an moaning.)

Val: Sire, please. Tell us what happened here.

(Cut over to Hank, Jamie and Galileo. This patient is by a fence about 8 feet away from the other one. He's resisting.)

Hank: Sir, you've gotta let me help you. Jamie, I need to irrigate. Jamie, get me some saline.

Jamie: I'm on it.

(Galileo beats Jamie to the bag and pulls out some saline. Galileo opens it by twisting off the cap with his teeth. Not sanitary at all.)

Hank: G, you’re not authorized to handle that!

Galileo: Oh sorry, I was just trying to help.

(Hank starts cleaning away some of the blood from the man's face. Val is doing the same for her and Tyler's patient. She's wiping near his hairline.)

Val: (Slightly confused.) There's no wound here.

Hank: This guy's clean too.

(Both the 'Victims' get up and run away. Jamie gets shoved against the fence by the one he was treating.)

Victim: Come on, let's get outa here!

(Val turns around and thinks she sees something. She puts her hand on Tyler shoulder to move him a little. He turn too. We now see what she sees. There's a few people hiding by a van with equipment used to pick up sound. The minute they realize they're caught, they duck down. A woman with her back turned doesn't see that they've been caught keeps talking on her cell phone.)

Publicist: We got a great shot in. It's gonna work really well. (She turns an realizes she's been caught. She ducks down even though it's too late.)

Val: (Pissed. To Galileo) Was this a set up? (We see Mink peer out over the car. Galileo turns to see what she's looking at. He gets a surprised look on his face. Val hits him.)

[Commercial Break]

Scene: Station common room.

(Galileo is being massaged in one of those chairs with the hole for your face.)

Galileo: Okay guys, this negative energy is making me feel tense.

Jamie: (Beyond angry.) Faking a 9-1-1 call makes me tense. It's against the law you know.

Tyler: Not only did we waste the materials, we also wasted out time and wear and tear on the ambulance.

Hank: The biggest reason why it's a crime is that it stops us from responding to a real emergency. Okay, someone's life could have been in danger.

Tyler: Luckily we didn't get any calls while we were gone.

Galileo: I'm telling you guys: I didn't know it was a set up.

Jamie: You sure reacted faster to the fake call.

Galileo: (Pissed. He gets up and turns to Jamie.) Okay, what's that supposed to mean?

Tyler: Okay G, calm down. It's not like we don't believe you. It just looks bad.

Galileo: Listen I'm telling you: I didn't do this. (Walks away.)

Jamie: And if you believe that. . .

Tyler: Why do you have to be such a jerk about this?

Jamie: Hey, I'm not being a jerk. I'm just sick of babysitting one.

Hank: I'm with Jamie on this one. And I am this close to asking Alex to cancel this whole thing.

Tyler: No no no, we don't have to go that far. I mean he's doing the best he can.

Jamie: Why do you always jump to defend him?

Tyler: I am not defending him. I'm trying to keep the peace.

Hank: Oh man, get real! You cut the guy more slack than his mother!

Tyler: (Pause.) Okay, maybe I'm looking out for him. (Jamie and Hank give him looks. Pause.) The PR guy, Mink, asked me to. You know how much we need that new defib unit. He made it sound like we could lose it if I don't cover for G.

Jamie: Don’t you get it? G messed up big time when he shoved that photographer and now Mink wants you to make sure that he's gonna get good press whether he deserves it or not.

Tyler: Now I feel like a real jerk. (Galileo comes and leans inside the door. No one notices.)

Jamie: You know maybe we should talk to Alex. I mean it's not worth having this guy around.

Galileo: Even if I make an appearance at your next fundraiser? (They spin around in surprise.)

Hank: (Quietly to Jamie.) We gotta start checking behind us.

Jamie: (Quietly to Hank.) Oh yeah.

Galileo: Okay, listen: Uh, my guys did set up the phony call. They admitted it. But I didn't know anything about it and they didn't know how wrong it was.

Jamie: (Doubtful.) Right.

Galileo: Which is why I'm going to do a PSA on the dangers of false alarms. Now, you're not really gonna turn us in are ya?

(Jamie looks at Hank with an expectant smirk on his face.)

Hank: Well, there's no ID on the fake victims, there's no report.

Galileo: Oh thanks, that's great. Cool.

Stock shot: Outside station. Day.

Scene: Common room. Kitchen.

(They're talking about Val's cooking project.)

Caitie: It's okay. For your trial run.

Val: Trial run? No no, I was gonna take this to school with me on Monday.

Caitie: On Mon. . . By Monday it's going to be a giant puddle. Look, it's already a soggy mess. Look, it's supposed to um, crunch in you mouth. (They both pick one up.) You know that's why they call it Croquant Bouche, it's what the name means.

Val: Uh, I am so totally and hopelessly no good at this. I give up. (She throws the dessert down and it hits Caitie in the side of the face.)

Caitie: Ahh! (Shrieks in surprise.)

Val: (Laughing.) Uh, oh I'm sorry.

Caitie: (Licks some of the cream.) That was good pastry cream.

Val: Yeah?

Caitie: Yeah. (Throws one at Val.)

(Val tried to block it, but it hits her forehead. They laugh and Caitie throws a few more at Val. Val throws one in Caitie's direction, but Caitie ducks and Galileo chooses that exact moment to walk in behind Caitie. Val's dessert thing hits him on the side of the face. He's stunned. Caitie stands up and stops laughing.)

Val: Oh no. (Wipes pastry cream off her forehead.) I, I'm sorry.

Caitie: Hi, um I'm uh I'm Caitie, I'm uh Val's best friend. (He ignores her.)

Val: (Whispers.) Caitie.

Caitie: Um Okay uh, nice to meet you. (Clears her throat.)

Brooke: (Comes in on a cell phone.) So that's eight o-clock sharp? (Pause.) Thank you so much.

Galileo: Get Flo right in here to fix my hair please. (Points to the food on his face.) This is a disaster.

Brooke: Will do. And by the way, your fancy water just came.

Galileo: Finally.

Brooke: And I got you a table at (Restaurant name) for tonight. Plus your dry cleaning is ready, your juicer has been repaired and your assistant called to see if you need any more serenity potpourri.

Galileo: What's this? (Holds up a plastic bottle of water.) Did you call this in?

Brooke: Yeah, just like you asked for.

Galileo: Yeah, these are plastic bottles. (Throws the bottle down.) I drink from glass.

Brooke: I, I'm sorry.

Galileo: Uh uh uh uh (that sound you make when you're cutting someone off when you don't want them to speak anymore. Gets angrier as he talks.) What is wrong with you? I mean what kind of dimwit orders plastic bottles? I give you simplest thing to do and you screw it up! (Brooke runs from the room is tears.) Yeah, thanks for nothing, Blair!

Val: (Crosses over to Galileo. She's pissed. She shoved him to get his attention.) Hey! It's Brooke! Okay, her name is Brooke! You total jerk, how dare you treat her like that.

Caitie: (Impressed.) Go Val.

Val: She's twelve! Twelve okay, and she doesn't work for you! She's doing you all these favors because she's such a big fan! Are you really. . . Are you that full of yourself that you can't see that?!

(He walks away.)

Scene: By a river (or some water) that flows from a sewer/storm drain.

(The ambulance pulls up and Jamie's first out the back. Tyler comes out the driver's side. And Val, Hank and Galileo all come out the other side. They start unloading.)

Hank: G, you stay here. If I need an IV stand I'll let you know. (They leave him standing there.)

J.J.: (He's a little kid, maybe 10-11. He's running up the path.) Hey guys! Over here! Come on! (They wheel the gurney toward him.) This way! Over here! Come on!

Tyler: What happened here?

J.J.: We were playing. Crawling through the pipe when water started pouring in. Sean is still in there.

Tyler: (To two little boys.) Hey guys, can I get you to wait right there? (Points to a spot out of the way. Everyone wades into the water, which seems to be a little above their ankles.)

Val: (Shouting into the pipe. There's a grate that's supposed to keep people out, but the horizontal bars are so far apart it doesn't really do much good.) Sean? Sean are you okay?

Sean: Yeah.

Tyler: Come on out Sean!

Sean: I can't. I'm scared.

Val: Alright, then hold on and we'll come get you. (Takes off her backpack and hands it to Tyler.)

Hank: (Holds Val back.) Val we don't do rescues. (To Tyler.) Tyler, get on the radio and call the fire department.

Jamie: There's no time. Do you see how fast the water's coming in?

Val: I'm the smallest. I can squeeze right through the bars if I-

Hank: Val, Val. You'll get stuck. No.

Val: Okay Sean, we can't come to you, you're going to have to come to us.

Sean: (Almost crying.) No I can't. I'm getting cold.

Val: You guys, the water is getting deeper, we've gotta do something.

(Galileo comes to look down on them through a fence. He's standing on the ground over the pipes and the fence is there to keep people from falling down.)

J.J.: (Sees him.) Hey, is that Freckles? It's Freckles. (The other boys nod.) Hey Freckles. I watch you every Saturday. Freckles, over here! (Galileo gives them a half grin and goes back to watching the squad.)

Sean: Freckles? From "Time Out For Family"? I don’t believe you. You're just saying that!

(Galileo runs down to where the rest of the squad is. He runs past the boys.)

J.J.: Wow, it's Freckles.

Galileo: (The squad lets him get close to the gate.) Hey Sean.

Sean: Freckles?

Galileo: Yeah.

Sean: For real?

Galileo: For real. Hey buddy, you remember this? 'Hey Daddy, I'm home and it's a wonderful day'!

Sean: It is you.

Galileo: Yeah. Now listen Sean, you gotta come out, okay buddy?

Sean: But I'm scared.

Galileo: Hey listen, Freckles was scared a lot too, but he always knew what to do. And so do you Sean. Now come on out. (Sean slowly starts to come towards them.) That's it. That's it, you're doing great buddy. Come on Sean! Come on, you're doing great. Come on Buddy, atta boy. (Sean climbs out.)

Tyler: You okay? Let's get him warm.

Galileo: Stat!

Scene: Station common room.

Galileo: Guys, uh thanks for putting up with me. I learned a lot more than I thought I would. And Brooke, I'm really sorry. You did a lot for me and I had no right to go off on you like I did and uh, be such a total jerk. (Looks at Val. She looks pleased with herself.)

Brooke: It's okay.

Galileo: No, it's not. How can I make it up to you?

Brooke: I'll think of something. (He winks at her.)

Hank: Man uh, what you did to help that kid, that was alright.

Galileo: Yeah, thanks uh, you know I'm uh, I'm gonna do my best to live up to you guys. (Checks his hair.) You know uh, I think the past few days have really changed me forever. (Walks away. Comes back.) Oh, and remember: Wherever you go. . . I'm right behind ya. (They laugh. Galileo leaves.)

Jamie: Oh, Tyler. I'm sorry I jumped in your face about defending the guy.

Tyler: No, you were right, I guess I was a little taken in by the whole star thing.

Hank: Yeah, we all were.

Val: Not all of us, Jamie wasn't.

Jamie: (Grins.) Hard to impress. Catch you later. (He picks up his back pack and something fall out of it.)

Hank: (Clears his throat.) A signed copy of 'Outworlder'.

Tyler: Wow.

Hank: Oh oh. (Laugh.)

Jamie: (Takes his movie back.) I never said I didn't like his movies. (They all laugh and Jamie leaves.)

Scene: Station parking lot.

(Val is carrying what we can assume is her cooking project. It's in a cone shape pointing up with chocolate on it. She and Caitie are walking to Val's car.)

Val: And don't worry, no one will ever know how much you helped me.

Caitie: Listen, all I did was coach. (Opens the back door so Val can set the project in the back seat.)

Val: Yeah, I couldn't have done it without you.

(Nicole and Michelle walk up.)

Nicole: Hi Val!

Val: Hey guys.

Nicole: We're here to meet Brooke.

Michelle: Is it true that she got to meet Galileo Tennision?

Val: Well. . .

Michelle: What's he like in person?

(Galileo's limo pulls up and the girls stare. Especially Brooke's friends. "You're A Superstar" by Love Inc plays.)

Michelle: Is that him?

(Brooke gets out of the back and closes the door. Galileo rolls down the window.)

Brooke: Thanks for the ride, G.

Galileo: Anything for a friend, Brooke. What time should I pick you up for lunch?

Brooke: 12:30.

Galileo: Cool. See ya then.

(Galileo rolls his window back up and drives away. Brook turn to her friends.)

Brooke: Hey guys.
