Buzz and Jenna Transcribed Scenes

First off, I would just like to let everyone know that full credit for all of these transcribed scenes is to be given to Rena. Take it away Rena....


I thought I'd start with what I call the "delaration scenes". These are the scenes in which Buzz and Jenna declare their love for each other. Although most couples manage to do this in one scene, or maybe two, it took Buzz and Jenna five. But then, that's more for us to enjoy! BTW, I only started watching GL when Jenna returned, so all of my quotes are from their "second" romance.

The Declaration Scenes

[Declaration #1: Buzz to Eleni]

Eleni: Do not ever accuse me of just being a mouthpiece for my husband. I have my own opinions. And as often as not Frank doesn't like them any more than you do. It's prbably because you're both overgrown, Greek-American macho babies!

Buzz: That isn't what this is about.

Eleni: No? Well I think it's about time someone tells you the truth about the way you act sometimes! And it's obviously got to come from a woman, because men seem to have an awful lot of trouble with the truth. Which is funny when they all seem to run all the countries. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I think you're going out of your mind trying to figure out...trying to prove that this Jeffrey Morgan person kidnapped the baby because your big male ego can't take it.

Buzz: No, that's not what's...

Eleni: Yes! It's eating you up that Jenna's husband came out the big hero and not you. This is all about your pride, Buzz Cooper.

Buzz: No, that's not what it's about.

Eleni: Yes, it is.

Buzz: I mean, you might have a couple of points, a couple of points that are close. I mean I have an ego. I have some male pride, maybe enough for a lot of people, but that isn't what it's about. It's about the woman I love being bamboozled by some smooth-talking Neanderthal who if he is capable of stealing a baby is capable of any damn thing.

[Eleni smiles]

Buzz: What is it? What are you smiling about?

Eleni: Do you hear yourself?

Buzz: What?

Eleni: Do you know what you just said?

Buzz: I called him a smooth-talking Neadnerthal...I said "the woman I love." I love her. I love Jenna.

[Delcaration #2: Buzz to Frank]

Buzz: It was right in front of me, Frank. I mean I guess I was scared just to admit it to myself even. I never stopped loving her, Frank. How could I? I mean everything about her gets to me. I mean just the lilt of her English voice...I stop thinking logically. [Rena's note: I just love that "lilt of her English voice" line. It's so perfect. It makes me sigh every time I think of it.]

Frank [being sarcastic]: I...uh...I never noticed.

Buzz: The first time I saw her, she was wearing a red trenchcoat. You know I can't remember the color of my own eyes half the time but I'll never forget that red trenchcoat. It was like silky and tight around her and it was cut up about here and it was short, and I knew if she bent over we were both going to be in serious trouble.

Frank: Safe to say it never happened?

Buzz: Unfortunately not, Frank, she has too much class. And too much attitude! I mean everything I don't want her to say and do, she says and does, and it has the infuriating effect of making me want her more. I mean even the way she puts her sunglasses...I'm rambling like some sick puppy dog...

Frank: No. No, no, no, actually no Dad. Um...you're in love here and...yup, yup..you're in love.

Buzz: Frank...I hope it's going to be O.K. with you. I mean, I know you two have had scrapes, but I don't want it to come between us.

Frank: Dad, you're head-over-heels. I mean you're 200% alive and I've got to tell you I really missed that in you.

Buzz: Frank...

Frank: Welcome back, Dad.

____________________________________________________________________

[Declaration #3: Jenna to Buzz]

Buzz: Oh no, you don't need anybody. You don't need me, you don't need anybody. You never did. Never will.

Jenna: I can't believe you just said that. That's complete rot! I may not need just anybody, but I need you.

Buzz: Huh? [Rena's note: Probably the best "huh?" in the history of the word - that one syllable changes the entire storyline.]

Jenna: I...I...I do need you.

Buzz: Say that again.

Jenna: You want me to repeat it?

Buzz: Please.

Jenna: Buzz, you can be the most infuriating man. How can you not know that I need you and that I lo...

Buzz: You what?

Jenna: I love you. I've always loved you.

____________________________________________________________________

[Declaration #4: Buzz to Jenna]

Jenna: You know the other day I was watching you, and you were in the kitchen, and you were singing this godawful tune.

Buzz: Anthony Newley.

Jenna: Anyway, there you were...you looked so ridiculous -- you had your baseball cap on backward, you had mis-matching socks, and you can't carry a tune at all, Buzz, you really can't --

Buzz: I like this little picture you're drawing of me, but I would like to know --

Jenna: This infuriates me! When you won't let me finish a sentence.

Buzz: O.K., all right. I'm listening.

Jenna: You foolish, foolish man. When I was watching you in the kitchen with your mis-matched socks, don't you see, I realized it's the only place I've ever wanted to be.

Buzz: You like my socks?

Jenna: Oh yes, I like your socks.

[They kiss.]

Buzz: I missed you.

Jenna: Oh, I missed you.

Buzz: I love you.

____________________________________________________________________

[Declaration #5: Buzz to the world]

Buzz: You love me. You love me? Say it.

Jenna: I love you.

Buzz: Say it.

Jenna: I love you.

Buzz: You're mine.

Jenna: Yes, I think I always was.

Buzz: Is this a happy face? Is this the face of a happy man? Is it?

Jenna: My man.

Buzz: You bet your sweet bippy! Oh, we've got to celebrate. [Buzz runs out the door of the apartment, leans over the stair railing, and yells] Everybody, she's mine, she's mine! Film at eleven, she's mine!

____________________________________________________________________


Here are some of the most romantic Jezz lines:

Jenna: Are you still mad at me?

Buzz: I'm trying to be, I'd like to be, but I can't, because you're too damn cute.

____________________________________________________________________

[Buzz has just kissed Jenna for the first time since she returned to Springfield]

Buzz: I had to find out.

Jenna: About what?

Buzz: If I remembered it right. The feeling I got when we kissed.

Jenna: And?

Buzz: And boom! Nothing before, nothing after. It was just a volcano, a tidal wave, a forest fire inside me. It just...just...the touch of your lips just made everything bad go away. Nadine hadn't died; I hadn't married Reva; she hadn't dumped me; the day you left...

____________________________________________________________________

[Jenna remembers what it was like before she left Springfield]

Jenna: We were like two bottle rockets, weren't we? We just exploded. We just filled the sky with glitter and then it was gone...

____________________________________________________________________

[Buzz on Jenna's decision to leave Springfield]

Buzz: I thought you knew. I would do anything, I would have done anything to be with you. Anything.

____________________________________________________________________

[On Jenna lying about Coop]

Jenna: There are no victims here, and I refuse to be made into a horrible monster over this.

Buzz: I got news for you lady. No monster ever had a face like that.

___________________________________________________________________

Buzz: Lady, it seems to me you've got a choice: love...or money.

Jenna: All right, let me get this straight, Buzz. You want me to give up everything.

Buzz: Monetarily speaking.

Jenna: I'll have to give up the private school for Coop, nannies, travel abroad...all for you.

Buzz: That's all I'm asking.

Jenna: Well I think you're asking an awful lot. But...I think you're worth it, Cooper.

____________________________________________________________________

Buzz: I'm not just talking about the lovemaking. Although, it was stupendous. I'm talking about afterward, when you were in bed with me, and I was holding you, and I was feeling you breathe in, and breathe out. It was like we were one, you know, and you were filling me up inside, and I was filled with you, and after running on empty so long, it's kind of...I want you back. I want you back! I want my family back. So I'll go along with this cockamamie scheme. The sooner it's over, the sooner I get you, beside me, in bed, every night!

____________________________________________________________________

Buzz: There's a question that I've never asked because I wanted to. I mean Deenie was pregnant, and Reva was just a favor. But I want you to know that you're the first person that I've ever asked this because I loved them.

Jenna: What is the question?

Buzz: Will you marry me?

____________________________________________________________________


This next set of lines is about the relationship between Buzz and his sons. Although not all of them are directly connected to the Buzz and Jenna story, I love them because they are so witty and they reveal so much about Buzz.

[On Coop]

Buzz: Were you carrying my baby when you left town?

Jenna: Does it matter? Does it really matter anymore?

Buzz: Oh come on! Yes, God in Heaven, yes! Of course it matters! I mean if we made love, and out of that love came a baby, I mean out of the passion and fire that we had for each other that kept us holding our breaths...If out of that came a baby, yes I want to know! I want to know what happened to the baby!

____________________________________________________________________

Jenna: The truth is that I was pregnant. And when I came back here Alan asked me what had happened to the baby that I was carrying, and I said that I had lost it, that I'd miscarried. But I hadn't. The baby was born on Christmas morning [Rena's note: Then WHY didn't they mention that it was Coop's birthday during the big "Christmas miracle" episode? Sorry, just a little pet peeve of mine. *g*] , and he was a beautiful, healthy baby boy, 7 lbs., 3 ozs., full head of hair and a good set of lungs, and I named him Henry, after my dearest Henry Chamberlain. But I've called him Coop, since the first day, after his daddy. That little boy up there asleep is your son.

____________________________________________________________________

[Buzz holds Coop for the first time after he learns that Coop is his son]

Buzz: Oh, you're not such a little guy, you're a big guy, you're a muy grande hombre. No, your British mama probably doesn't call you that, she doesn't use that. No, you're a stout fellow.

____________________________________________________________________

Jenna: I want to tell you so much about your son if you'll let me. I just want to to tell you how special he is.

Buzz: Oh I could see that the first time I laid eyes on him.

Jenna: It was so wrong of me to rob you of that.

Buzz: Oh well, you know, that's an occupational hazard. That's what you do for a living, isn't it?

____________________________________________________________________

[Buzz and Frank find evidence that Jeffrey kidnapped Coop]

Buzz [holding Buzz the bunny]: Frank, I got proof here. Come on! He took the baby, held the baby here. Even a member of Springfield's finest can see that.

Frank: Let me tell you something. I guarantee you if you go to the D.A. with an illegally obtained bunny, not to mention credit card information, and a story that Jeffrey Morgan tried to ace you out with Jenna, you're the one who's going to end up on your face.

Buzz: I've got proof here, Frank.

Frank: You've got a stuffed rabbit.

____________________________________________________________________

Frank: Let me tell you something. You punch this guy out, I'll put you in cuffs.

Buzz: French or regular?

Frank: Dad, come on. Behave yourself, will you?

Buzz: Hey, my middle name is decorum, babe.

Frank: No, your middle name is Achilles.

____________________________________________________________________

Frank: You know cops my age, you know what they talk about? They complain about their parents. You know what they complain about? That all they talk about is their golf game, or their bridge game, and everything else. But you know what I'm stuck with here? I'll tell you what I'm stuck with. I'm stuck with a wild-eyed Romeo who wants me to risk everything that I've put together for my family. And for why, Dad? So you can borrow an arsenal and render your competition defenseless?

Buzz: Are you finished?

Frank: Let me tell you something. If I didn't love you so much, I would be so many miles away from here right now, putting doughnuts in my mouth and swapping arrest stories with my buddies.

Buzz: If I didn't love you so much, I'd palm your gun and put a bullet hole through the seat of Jeffrey Morgan's pants!

____________________________________________________________________

[Frank refuses to get Buzz a gun]

Buzz: What does that mean, no weapons?

Frank: Exactly what it sounds like, Dad. Let me tell you something, I don't want to have to arrest you because of an assault charge either.

Buzz: What am I supposed to do, like, talk him into a coma?

____________________________________________________________________


Here are some of the funnier Jezz moments:

[Buzz and Jenna are making out on the couch]

Jenna: We cannot do this.

Buzz: Yes I can. I have to. This is America. My engine's up and running. You can't say no.

Jenna: Well then you'd better cut it off.

Buzz: Never say that to a man!

____________________________________________________________________

Jenna: I didn't realize geography lessons could be so stimulating.

Buzz: Let me show you my map room.

____________________________________________________________________

[Buzz on "Buzz the bunny"]

Buzz: This is Coop's bunny. You know, Jenna named it Buzz after me. I guess because it needs hair and it's too short.

____________________________________________________________________

[Jenna is sentenced to do community service at Cedars]

Jenna [to Frank]: I have other talents that would be much better served for helping the community.

Buzz: Frank, you know she is right. Don't you have any locks that need picking? Or, you know, wait a second, you talk to the jewelers, Frank, she's a very fast appraiser. She can actually make the jewels just disappear.

____________________________________________________________________

[Buzz describes a high school sweetheart]

Buzz: Her name was Sophia.

Jenna: Ooh, an Italian girl.

Buss: Well, no. She was as American as apple pie. Deep dish.

Jenna: What does that mean?

Buzz: I think the British equivalent would be "a nice bit of crumpet".

____________________________________________________________________

[Buzz suggests that he and Jenna hide out in a small town]

Jenna: Oh, O.K., great. We sneak out of this hotel -- I don't know how we're going to do that. And then we sneak past the P.D. of Springfield. That'll be easy, we'll be scot-free by then. And I suppose you think I'll just blend into the background, and nobody's going to notice a woman with a British accent when we settle in Podunk, Iowa.

Buzz: Iowa has no Podunk. Massachusetts and Connecticut have Podunks.

____________________________________________________________________

This last one is between Buzz and Reva -- I just like it.

Reva: I'm looking for a friend.

Buzz: Well you're in luck. The special of the day is cafe a la wimp. You get free coffee and my undivided attention.

Reva: Oh good, I'm glad that we can still be friends after everything that's happened.

Buzz: Well you know, I mean what's one bad marriage between a couple of friends?

____________________________________________________________________


I call this the "If I love him..." scene:

Jenna: Tell you about Buzz? Oh good lord, we don't have enough time in the day for me to tell you about Buzz.

Michelle: You should see the way your eyes look when you say his name. They light up and they get all crinkly.

Jenna: Crinkly? Thank you, that's what I've always wanted to hear about my eyes.

Michelle: Oh, no, no, no. You look more beautiful than usual. It's true.

Jenna: I don't know. Buzz is the most infuriating man I've ever met. He's moody, he's unpredictable, he's...sometimes he's high on life, and it's all anyone can do to keep him from flying off into the sky like a bunch of helium balloons, and then the next minute he's got his nose buried in some Greek mythology, and after that he's just plain foolish. I caught him this morning in the room with Coop, and he was trying to teach him the difference between classical music and modern jazz. Little Coop, who says "mommy" and "breakfast'' and "bread" and that's about it. He was trying to tell him to ask me to buy an album by Thelonious Monk. That is what I'm dealing with!

Michelle: Well, if he drives you so nuts, why do you love him?

Jenna: Did I say I loved him?

Michell: You didn't have to.

Jenna: Well, if I love him -- that's a big if...If I love him it's because he makes me feel safer, and happier, and more treasured than anyone ever has in my entire life.
