"DR. JEKYLL & HEIDI"
(for "The Lucy Webb Show")
(UP ON: CU OF A WOMAN'S HAND WRITING IN HER JOURNAL. ALSO IN THE SHOT, AN OLD FASHIONED DESK LAMP AND A NAME PLAQUE THAT READS: DR. H. JEKYLL, M.D.)

(MUSIC: SOMETHING A LITTLE EERIE AND SCIENCE-FICTIONY)
DR. JEKYLL (VO)
Though the medical establishment doesn't
think my years of research into synthetic
estrogen is very important my goal has been
attained at long last...
(DISSOLVE TO: DR. JEKYLL'S LABORATORY. SHE'S SWIRLING A BEEKER AND HOLDING IT UP TO THE LIGHT)
DR.JEKYLL (VO - CONT'D)
The breakthrough came this morning. I was
so overcome that when Dr. Harris came by
the lab I told him all about it.
(DR.HARRIS WALKS INTO THE LAB WITHOUT KNOCKING.)

(MUSIC OUT)
DR. HARRIS
Excuse me, Doctor, I was wondering if I
could borrow a cup of sulfuric acid.
DR. JEKYLL
Doctor, I've done it. I've done it!
DR. HARRIS
Done what?
DR.JEKYLL
Synthesized an analog of the human female
sex hormone estrogen in the laboratory.
DR. HARRIS
Sounds interesting. Now about that sulfuric
acid . . .
DR. JEKYLL
Do you know what this could mean to
women, Doctor? All women? Everywhere?
DR. HARRIS
No - not really. But, don't forget, Doctor,
first it needs to be tested.
DR. JEKYLL
Yes, of course, Doctor, but . . .
DR. HARRIS
Your weren't thinking of testing it on yourself,
were you?
(DR. JEKYLL WASN'T THINKING OF THAT, BUT NOW SHE IS)
DR. JEKYLL
Oh, no, categorically. I would never do a
thing like that.
DR. HARRIS
Good. You never know what the side effects
could be.
DR. JEKYLL
I'm well aware of that Doctor, and besides -
I'm a professional. Here's that sulfuric acid
you wanted. Take the whole bottle.
DR. HARRIS
Thank you, Doctor
DR. JEKYLL
You're welcome, Doctor.
(DR. HARRIS GOES OUT THE DOOR. DR. JEKYLL WALKS TO HER BEEKER OF FORMULA, HOLDS IT UP TO THE LIGHT , AND IS ABOUT TO DRINK IT WHEN DR. HARRIS RE-ENTERS)
DR. HARRIS
I really don't think you should test that
whatever-it-is hormone on yourself, Doctor.
DR. JEKYLL
I would never do that, Doctor.
DR. HARRIS
Oh, good.
(DR. HARRIS LEAVES AGAIN AND THE MOMENT HE'S OUT THE DOOR DR. JEKYLL DRINKS DOWN THE LIQUID. HER BODY JERKS AND HER FACE CONTORTS AS THE FORMULA BEGINS TO TAKE EFFECT. HER GLASSES COME OFF. HER HAIR COMES DOWN. SHE GRACEFULLY COLLAPSES TO THE FLOOR. DR. HARRIS RE-ENTERS. AT FIRST HE DOESN'T SEE DR. JEKYLL ON THE FLOOR)
DR. HARRIS
Excuse me, Doctor, could you spare an
alembic. I . . .
(HE SEES DR. JEKYLL)
DR. HARRIS (CONT'D)
Oh, my Goodness. Doctor!
(HE RUSHES TO ASSIST HER, RAISING HER HEAD AND PATTING HER FACE. SHE STIRS)
DR. HARRIS (CONT'D
Are you okay? Hello. Doctor Jekyll? Doctor.
Doctor.
(DR.. JEKYLL COMES TO, BUT SHE'S UNDERGONE A COMPLETE AND SUDDEN PERSONALITY CHANGE - SHE'S TURNED INTO A SEX KITTEN)
DR. JEKYLL (HEIDI)
Ooh, thank you. I'm so embarrassed. I think I
must have fainted.
DR. HARRIS
I think you must have. Here, Doctor, let me
help you up.
DR. JEKYLL (HEIDI)
Thank you. And please, call me Heidi.
(HE HELPS HER TO HER FEET. SHE GAZES INTO HIS EYES, UNDOING A FEW BUTTONS ON HER LAB COAT)
DR. HARRIS
I always wondered what the "h" stood for.
DR. JEKYLL (HEIDI)
And you're Robert. Or is it Bob? Or Bobby?
(HEIDI IS COMING ON STRONG. AND BOBBIE SEEMS FLATTERED)
DR. JEKYLL (CONT'D)
I bet your really intimate friends call you
"Bobby." That's what I'll call you - Bobby . . .
Boobie . . . Baby . . .
(DR. HARRIS DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT HE LIKES IT)
DR. HARRIS
Call me anything you want -- but don't forget
to call me.
DR. JEKYLL (HEIDI)
Ooh, Bobby, you make me -- laugh.
DR. HARRIS
Yeah, well, thanks. Remind me to give you
my number.
(HEIDI PRESSES HERSELF TO HIM)
DR. JEKYLL (HEIDI)
Ooh, I don't think so, Bobby. I've already got
-- your number.
(SHE REMOVES HIS GLASSES AND DRAWS HIM TO HER)
