(00:00-00:30) Opening Title with ED PRENTISS voiceover: "Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. 'Days of Our Lives' - a new dramatic serial starring Macdonald Carey."

(00:30-02:56) Scene 1: Bartlett's Department Store-Manager's Office (Ben, Addie, Mr. Franklin)
[BEN and ADDIE are pacing around the manager's office of Bartlett's Department Store.]
ADDIE: "Ben, please, sit down. Pacing back and forth doesn't accomplish anything except makes me more nervous. Now, Mr. Franklin is being as helpful and cooperative as he can."
BEN (angrily): "Oh, cooperative. He better be cooperative. I'm working through him just to keep this thing quiet. If he doesn't come through, I'll go straight to the Board of Directors and he knows it."
ADDIE: "Well if the tape recording shows what he says. If the machine really shows Julie, we can't do anything."
BEN: "Videotape. Closed-circuit television. Yeah, imagine trying to trap a teenage girl like that. It's probably unconstitutional to begin with. Well I'll check that out with Harry Grill."
ADDIE: "Harry?"
BEN: "The best legal brain in the business."
ADDIE: "I thought we decided to let Mickey handle this."
BEN: "Your brother may mean well, Addie, but we don't see eye to eye on it. Now we absolutely can't continue..."
[MR. FRANKLIN, the department store manager, enters and interrupts BEN in midsentence].
MR. FRANKLIN: "Well, I think we're all set."
BEN: "Very efficient, Franklin."
MR. FRANKLIN: "Oh yes, Mr. Olson, these modern techniques are a way of life. Now, I think if you both sit down you'll have a good view."
BEN: "Well, we'll take a look at what you've got to show us, Mr. Franklin, but if you think for one moment that Julie could have..."
MR. FRANKLIN (into the telephone): "Yes, yes. We're all set up here. Anytime. Thank you, Frank. They're all ready to go. Just watch the screen. Believe me, I know how you feel."
[BEN and ADDIE sit down and watch the television monitor. A tape recording of JULIE and her friends, CAROL and DIANE, at Bartlett's appears. There is silence for a moment as they watch what happens. They see JULIE take the fur coat and hide it underneath her own coat].
ADDIE: "Look, Carol and Diane are egging Julie on. Oh, no."
BEN: "Oh. It could have been a joke."
[As the tape continues, a SECURITY GUARD sees JULIE stealing the fur and takes the coat from her].
BEN: "Wait, wait a second. It's entrapment. He was just waiting there to arrest her."
MR. FRANKLIN: "I'm terribly sorry."
[Dramatic music plays as the scene fades to black].
(02:56-08:09) Scene 2: Olson House-Living Room (Ben, Addie, Steve, Julie)
[Rock music plays on a record player. Young teenager STEVE OLSON, Ben and
Addie's son, is sitting on the couch with his new drum set. A sullen BEN and ADDIE
enter].
STEVE: "Hi, mom. Hi, dad." (Sensing their anger) "Boy what a jolly group."
[BEN turns off the record player].
STEVE: "Hey!"
BEN: "Where's your sister?"
STEVE: "Upstairs, why?"
BEN: "Well, tell her I want to see her."
STEVE: "Okay." (showing the drum set to Ben) "Fixed the drums, see?"
BEN: "Oh, that's fine. Well at least one of our kids is..."
ADDIE (interrupting Ben): "Oh, Ben, please." (to Steve): "You better tell Julie to get
right down here, Steve."
STEVE: "Sure."
[STEVE exits].
BEN (offers Addie a drink): "You want one?"
ADDIE: "Uh-uh. I better check the kitchen. Mrs. Chamberlain is at her sister's this
afternoon."
BEN: "Again?"
ADDIE: "Well, she's ill. They are sisters."
BEN: "You hire a cook and you get a traveling nurse."
ADDIE: "Well, I don't know what I'd do without her."
BEN: "Well, in my business when you pay someone a decent wage, you get a decent
day's work out of them."
[JULIE enters].
JULIE: "You called?"
ADDIE: "I'll be in the kitchen. I better leave you two alone."
JULIE (sarcastically): "Well, hello mother."
BEN: "Now don't be sarcastic."
ADDIE: "Hello, Julie. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not feeling very well. Your father will explain."
[ADDIE exits]
JULIE: "Well what was that all about?"
BEN: "Sit down."
JULIE: "Is that any way to..."
[BEN interrupts].
BEN: "I said sit, over there."
[JULIE sits down on the couch].
BEN: "We've been to Bartlett's."
JULIE: "Did you pick up any bargains?"
BEN: "At least we didn't steal anything."
JULIE: "Neither did I."
BEN: "Oh yes you did. We saw it with our own eyes."
JULIE: "You did? Well isn't that interesting."
BEN: "Yes, yes. We were shown a very interesting television tape recording. You and
your two friends and the fur piece."
JULIE: "Television?"
BEN: "That's right. Closed-circuit television. Ah, especially installed to record
shoplifting. Well the picture was clear. Now there you are looking like a common thief.
A piece of trashy fur in your hands. You stuff it in your bag like it was a piece of gold.
A thief. A common thief."
JULIE (sarcastically): "Was it in color?"
BEN: "I'm telling you what we saw. Can you imagine how we felt in that manager's
office. Now I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget. Now maybe what you
really need is a good-old fashioned whipping. Maybe you didn't have enough of that.
Oh, we've spoiled you. You've turned into a spoiled brat. You have no sense of
decency. No feelings for us. You should have seen your mother in that office. She was
 trembling with humiliation."
JULIE: "I don't suppose you'd listen to my explanation."
BEN: "Now you do the listening. There's going to be some changes around here.
We're going to set up a whole new set of rules. And if you disobey, you'll be punished.
Now, I'm not a violent man, Julie, but you've driven us just too far. Now as long as you
live in this house, you're going to live according to my rules. And from this point on,
you're grounded. No car, no visitors, no television. No record-playing. You'll be on a
strict schedule. School, homework, and housework. Yeah, it's about time you helped
your mother around the house."
JULIE: "She's never home."
BEN: "What did you say?"
JULIE: "She's never home. How can I help her?"
BEN: "Well never mind that. There's plenty for you to do around here."
[The phone rings].
BEN: "Your mother will get it, or Steven. You know, that's another thing. Any
telephone..."
[ADDIE enters and interrupts].
ADDIE: "It's Mickey, he wants to talk to you."
BEN: "Well, tell him I'm busy. Tell him Harry Grill will be taking care of this whole
thing."
ADDIE: "Ben."
BEN: "Now you heard me."
ADDIE: "Ben, I told you I won't have that. I want Mickey to handle this."
BEN: "This is out of your hands."
ADDIE: "What did you say? Out of my hands?"
BEN: "Julie's been getting away with murder because you're never around here to
discipline her, to guide her."
ADDIE: "I won't have you blaming me for Julie's behavior. Now, what kind of a father
have you been? Never phoning. Coming home at all hours. We can't plan anything
because of your meetings, your appointments."
BEN: "A good percentage of the bank's transactions are done during the dinner hour,
Addie, you know that."
JULIE: "Shall I leave you two lovebirds alone." (sarcastically to herself): "Tell us, Miss
Olson, about your family life."
BEN: "Oh no, No, no. No you don't."
ADDIE: "What goes on between your father and me has nothing to do with you. We
saw the tape. We know what you've done. Oh don't think that you can divide and
conquer us, Julie. We may squabble, but as far as you're concerned, your father and I
are in complete agreement. Now there are going to be changes in your behavior, and
you may be sure of that."
BEN: "Right."
ADDIE: "And you can start right now by making the salad for dinner. And cook left an
oven pan in the sink. I want it washed and scraped before it goes into the dishwasher."
BEN: "And we'll go on with our discussion after dinner."
[JULIE exits. STEVE enters].
STEVE: "Hey I just picked up the extension. Uncle Mickey's on the phone."
ADDIE: "Oh, I forgot, Mickey. Ben talk to him."
BEN: "All right."
ADDIE: "Darling, he'll probably agree if you suggest that Harry Grill would be willing to
help. Oh, but Ben, please I want him in on this. I trust him. I really do."
BEN: "All right."
[The scene fades to black].
(08:09-12:57) Scene 3: Horton House-Living Room (Mickey, Tom, Alice)
[MICKEY is on the phone, having a ONE-WAY conversation with BEN. TOM stands in the background listening].
MICKEY (angrily): "You know there's a price to everything, Ben. Yes I know Grill. No, I don't mind if I seek his counsel, I just..." (a pause) "All right, let's just leave it at that. Goodbye, Ben!" [slams phone down]
TOM: "What's the trouble, counselor? One of your client's being difficult?"
MICKEY: "Oh, boy. If it was just Julie and Addie, it would be fine, Dad. But to have to contend with that brother-in-law of mine is just too much."
TOM: "Now easy son."
MICKEY: "Dad, he thinks he can buy his way into and out of everything on this good Earth. He's just, he's unbelievable."
TOM: "He means well, Mickey."
MICKEY: "Dad, you've got to be kidding."
[ALICE enters with ice cream sundaes].
ALICE: "No butterscotch syrup, Mickey. I'm sorry"
MICKEY: "No butterscotch?"
ALICE: "No."
MICKEY (jokingly): "Well, by golly. The service around here has deteriorated."
ALICE: "What?" (MICKEY kisses ALICE on the cheek and takes the ice cream) "Flirt."
TOM: "Where's yours?"
ALICE: "Um...calories." (slaps her hip)
TOM: "You, the greatest guzzler of ice cream in the history of Salem."
ALICE: "You just sit down and guzzle yourself. I'll sit too, and join the party, unless it's men only."
[TOM sits down on the couch to eat his ice cream].
MICKEY: "No, mom, sit down and watch us guzzle. You know it use to bug me when I was a kid."
[ALICE sits down].
ALICE: "What, what did?"
MICKEY: "You used to just sit and watch us kids eat."
ALICE (defensively): "What? Mickey, you know perfectly well I always ate with you when I could, but whenever your father was going to be late why, I liked to wait for him."
MICKEY: "Sure, I know, mom, but..well now I kind of like it."
ALICE: "I like having you here, except when I hear you arguing with your brother-in-law over the telephone."
MICKEY: "Oh, you heard that, huh?"
ALICE: "Oh, it was loud enough for the neighbors to hear."
MICKEY: "Oh, he's so stubborn, blind. All he wants to do is fix. You know, everything can be fixed in his book. He just doesn't seem to realize that Julie is in very serious trouble, and I don't mean just that shoplifting charge."
ALICE: "Now, I'm sure he's worried. He and Addie took this very hard."
MICKEY: "Well, Mom, you know just as well as I do they have been very far from model parents."
ALICE: "They've done the best they could, Mickey."
MICKEY: "Mom, Julie is...she's rebellious. She's defiant. She lies. How can you defend her?"
TOM: "You were talking about Ben and Addie, not Julie."
ALICE: "Addie has her hands full. Now, Ben means well. There's not a vicious streak in him. They've both got good sense and I'm sure that they will work out some solution to this. They're a good family, Mickey. You can't say otherwise."
MICKEY: "Mom, I'm talking about values. Ben and Addie seem to be much more interested in defending themselves than in helping Julie."
TOM: "If you're so antagonistic towards Ben, then perhaps you shouldn't involve yourself in Julie's case."
MICKEY: "Well, Addie wants me to. She's asked me."
ALICE: "Well, of course she does. She wouldn't have it any other way, Tom."
TOM: "But Mickey isn't exactly impartial."
MICKEY: "Well, Dad, surely you must agree with me about Ben."
TOM: "Not necessarily. There's something you should understand about Ben. He's been so busy making money to be a father, that he's lost the ability to communicate as a father. In order to get love, you have to have the time to give love. And Ben just has never made the time. Don't you agree, Alice?"
ALICE: "I hope he'll find the time now."
TOM: "Well, he better wake up to Julie's needs, before it's too late."
[ALICE stands up].
ALICE: "What about a little more ice cream. There's lots in the freezer."
TOM: "Hmm, a couple of gallons the last time I heard."
MICKEY: "Well, as long as the supply is adequate, I might tolerate a smidgen more."
[TOM stands up].
ALICE: "Well, I know what your idea of a smidgen is. What about you, Tom?"
TOM: "No, thank you." (looking at his watch) "Oh, it's not as late as I thought. By golly, I thought it was close to midnight."
ALICE: "You know, it's been such a busy day. What with Julie, and plans for the wedding."
MICKEY: "Hmm."
TOM: "Marie home?"
MICKEY: "Oh, no, she took my car and went downtown. She's shopping."
ALICE: "Oh, are you going to stay overnight?"
MICKEY: "Well, if I can coerce my father into a game of chess."
ALICE: "Oh, Mickey, he's so tired."
TOM: "Oh, no you don't. I wouldn't miss this for the world."
[TOM and MICKEY laugh. ALICE exits].
MICKEY: "Well, Marie went shopping with a men's fashion magazine. Can you imagine that? Think she wanted to buy Tony some of those shirt-and-tie sets. I suggested she get him some of that long-flannel underwear for those cold winter nights in Boston. You know what she said? She said you don't have to worry about Tony getting any nighttime chills."
[TOM and MICKEY laugh as the scene fades to black].
(12:57-16:47) Scene 4: Boston-Jim's Apartment (Tony, Jim)
[TONY is seen unpacking his suitcase in his friend, and new roommate, JIM FISK's apartment].
JIM: "Two girls. One on each arm and this other guy's credit card in my pocket. Well he cleared it with the maitre d', so we had a ball."
TONY: "Oh yeah?"
JIM: "Talk about girls eating. Wow, you would have thought it was their last meal."
TONY: "Well, come on, what did you do with them?"
JIM: "Oh, well that's the point. You see, I stuffed myself pretty good on filet mignon and cheese cake."
TONY: "Oh yeah?"
JIM: "I could hardly walk away from the table. Imagine that, two gorgeous girls and me. And all three of us so stuffed we couldn't swing. Well, I put them in a cab. They offered to pay themselves. And I wound up on the Boston Commons stretched out on a bench."
TONY: "That is too much, really."
JIM: "Well after finals, man, you gotta relax a little, let yourself go. This graduate schedule is like nothing you've ever heard of."
TONY: "Yeah."
[TONY takes out a picture frame photo of his fiancee, MARIE].
TONY: "Hey listen, can I put this over the bookcase?"
[TONY hands the photo to JIM].
JIM (looking at the picture frame): "You know, she's even prettier than I remember."
TONY: "Yeah. Can I put it over there?"
JIM: "Oh yeah, you can put it there if you promise to leave it there."
TONY: "Not a chance old buddy."
[TONY puts the picture frame on the bookcase and continues unpacking].
JIM: "You know, I'm very happy for you, old friend."
TONY: "Yeah?"
JIM: "That picture brings back a lot of memories."
TONY: "Yeah, it does."
JIM: "Remember Chuck Freeze, from our high school class?"
TONY: "The radio bug."
JIM: "Well, he's here. You'll run into him for sure."
TONY: "If I get that fellowship."
JIM: "What time is your appointment?"
TONY: "Uh, ten tomorrow. I'm not too relaxed about that one though."
JIM: "Well, when you meet Professor Heinsen, he'll put you at ease."
TONY: "Oh, yeah?"
JIM: "Really, he's a nice guy."
TONY: "How do you know that?"
JIM: "Well, I've heard him lecture."
TONY: "Hey, Jimmy, you hearing the man lecture and my being appointed his assistant is hardly parallel phenomena."
JIM: "Well, I just have a feeling you two are going to hit it off, that's all. Well, with your grades, and your background, why, well you really stand a very good chance. Now look, out of maybe 500 applicants, only 10 were selected for personal interviews. And you were one of them. Now if you really want that job it means financial independence."
TONY: "A good start for Marie and myself. I really want that job, Jim."
JIM: "And you're nervous. Now, isn't that strange? Come on, there's a great delicatessan around the corner. Nothing like it in Salem, and I'll introduce you to bagels."
TONY: "No, look, I haven't finished unpacking yet and I've got to get some sleep. And besides that time change isn't any help either. And by the way, I've already been introduced to bagels."
[TONY gets somewhat dizzy and grabs at his head].
JIM: "Hey, are you alright?"
TONY: "Ooh. Yeah, I'm just dizzy almost. I don't know what happened."
JIM: "Well, it's probably anxiety."
TONY: "Yeah, either that or the thought of a delicatessan at this time of night."
[TONY almost falls. JIM helps him sit down].
TONY: "Ooh, swoozing and spinning."
JIM: "Hey, ah, you look awful pale. You think I ought to call a doctor?"
TONY: "Um-um."
JIM: "Well, the fellowship interview and all those wedding plans, combined with the trip. Well, what I mean is that's an awful lot going on all at once."
TONY: "Yeah."
[TONY's pain continues as the scene fades to black].
(16:47-21:00) Scene 5: Olson House-Living Room (Julie, Steve)
[The phone is ringing. JULIE rushes in and picks it up for a ONE-WAY conversation].
JULIE (yelling to Steve): "I'll get it." (she picks up the phone) "Hello?"
[STEVE enters holding some records].
STEVE: "I've got the records."
JULIE (to Mrs. Jennings): "No, Mrs. Jennings, I don't think they're in right now. No, Mrs. Jennings, I don't know what their plans for the weekend are. Hold on please." (to Steve) "Stevie, are YOUR illustrious parents planning a trip to Tory Cove for the weekend for this golf tournament?"
STEVE: "They didn't discuss it with me."
JULIE (to Mrs. Jennings): "Neither Stevie or I know anything about it, Mrs. Jennings. Yes, I'll give them your message. Goodbye."
[JULIE hangs up the telephone].
STEVE: "Well, aren't you the polite secretary? Although I think you're out of patience. How come?"
JULIE: "The new regime. I'm to be treated like hired help."
STEVE: "Oh, I've got the records. Which do you want to hear first?"
JULIE: "Oh, that's also to boot. No record-playing. No phone calls. The dictator has spoken."
STEVE: "Well, I can play them and you can listen."
JULIE: "No, I'm not in the mood. I don't feel very well."
STEVE: "Gee, I'm sorry, sis."
JULIE: "I bet you are."
STEVE: "I mean it, really."
JULIE: "You mean I've got one friend left in this house?"
STEVE: "Sure."
JULIE: "Oh, Steve, it's a mess. It's a real mess. But I'm not finished. I've got plans. Big plans."
STEVE: "You have?"
JULIE: "Can I really trust you?"
STEVE: "Yeah."
JULIE: "You know, you're just about the only person I've got left, you know that."
STEVE: "Look, I don't think Mom and Dad are out to get you or anything. I mean they're upset and pretty mad at you right now. But it's not going to last forever. I mean, if you do what they want for a week or so, I bet things things will really calm down and go back to normal."
JULIE: "Normal? Do you know what that means, Steve? Normal is just exactly what I don't like in this house and I'm not going to stand for it either. I mean, I'm just not going to stand for it. How much money do you have in your bank account?"
STEVE: "About 400 dollars I guess. I was saving up to buy my new set of drums, but Dad bought them instead, so I've never withdrawn from that account."
JULIE: "Well, I might give you the opportunity."
STEVE: "Huh?"
JULIE: "Oh, I'll pay you back."
STEVE: "You want my 400 dollars, Julie? It's the money I've saved since I just started getting an allowance when I was eight years old."
JULIE: "But I need it."
STEVE: "What are you going to do?"
JULIE: "This is confidential, right?"
STEVE: "Right."
JULIE: "Remember when I used to take dancing at Millie's school?"
STEVE: "Sure. Ballet and tap. That was a long time ago. So?"
JULIE: "So, Barbara Dalrymple, she was a teacher there and now she's a model. Well, Barbara Dalrymple is here in Salem. And she's looking for girls to attend this modeling school in Chicago where she teaches. Uh, Carol told me about it."
STEVE: "You're going to be a model?"
JULIE: "Well, sure, I can look over 18, I've done it hundreds of times. You know that."
STEVE: "Well, I don't know Julie. Chicago, on your own?"
JULIE: "You think I want to stay here? I'm sick of it. It's nothing but trouble. Evereybody treats me like a child and nobody understands me. Except you."
STEVE: "And Grandpa and Grandma and Aunt Marie."
JULIE: "Oh, they all treat me like a child too. I need your help, Steve."
STEVE: "Look, Julie, you're just mad because you got caught at Bartlett's and you're afraid of what's next. You're going to go before the judge and everything. You can't make plans like this until you face the music."
JULIE: "You've got your nerve."
STEVE: "Look, I'm just trying to tell you there are a lot of people you're going to hurt very badly if you do something stupid like this. And you're going to get yourself in more trouble. I think it's a stupid plan."
JULIE: "And now I suppose you're going to tell Mother and Dad."
STEVE: "Oh, don't be stupid. Look, I'm just your brother and I care about you."
JULIE: "Oh, yeah. You're just like them."
STEVE: "I am not. It's just that, well, you don't have to impress me. You don't have to lie to me. I like you just the way you are."
JULIE: "Thanks a lot. Oh, with a family like you, who needs enemies?"
[JULIE storms out of the room as STEVE looks sad as the scene fades to black].
