WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR? - Todd & Blair
He’s baaaaack!! Thank god they only had him lurking for one day and then in his first speaking scene with Blair, he was back in true form. His wit and sarcasm were at it’s peak, such life he brings back to the show when he is on the screen! Todd has come to the club the Black Dawn, by accident, perhaps. He spots Jessica and then Blair & Max and seems surprised. He watches and gets the essence that Blair wants to get Max out of the club so when they leave he is watching. Out in the alley Max has realized that Blair was deliberately trying to keep him out of the club for some reason and turns to go back in when Todd smashes his face with a trash can lid, Max did not see it coming and is knocked out cold, priceless! Blair bends over him extremely concerned and then looks up shocked to see it’s none other than Todd!
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
BLAIR: (Todd is looking around making sure no one else has just witnessed this, Blair brays at him) What are you doing here Todd!!?? (conceitedly) Are you stalking me?
TODD: (he cocks his head to one side, and makes a face) What the hell did you do to your hair?
BLAIR: (defensively, runs her hand over it) I cut it. (giving it back to him) What did you do to yours?? (he does not answer her, she yells frustrated, yet comical) What are you doing here??
TODD: Well I got really bored so I came to Cincinnati for a beer. (throws down the trash lid) And then I walk into this place and everybody from Llanview is there. (sarcastic) What’s.... what’s wrong with you people, can’t you just leave me alone?
BLAIR: (belligerent) I had no idea that you were even here! (to cover in case he has any ideas) Starr’s not here, either, she’s....she’s at camp. It’s just Max and me.
TODD: (looks at Max with a smirk) Looks like it’s just you now.
BLAIR: (snotty, with major attitude) Where’s Tea?
TODD: (his eyes shift, uncomfortable, he almost mutters) You don’t need to know.
BLAIR: (not trusting him) What did you do to her Todd?
TODD: (his eyes shift again, trying to look sinister) I cut her up into little pieces and I keep her in my freezer. (his smile is evil to play with her, she does not react, then he shrugs his shoulders with a smirk) Well, maybe.
BLAIR: (she says low, not with fear but as a fact) What are you going to do to me, hurt me? (he stares at her, then turns away)
Scene break
TODD: (he is indignant and hurt at her concern for her safety) You really think that I would hurt you?
BLAIR: Excuse me but you just clobbered Max here!
TODD: (frustrated) I was trying.....(cuts himself off) You had trouble keeping him out of the club. It seems like your famous seduction routine has lost it’s punch. I was trying to help you out.
BLAIR: (she stands, angry) You could have killed him!
TODD: Oh relax, I didn’t hit him hard enough to kill him!
BLAIR: He just had brain surgery last year.
TODD: (jumping at the sarcasm) Oh really, they put one in?
BLAIR: You know you’re lucky he’s still breathing. I just hope he comes out of this with his right mind.
TODD: How would you be able to tell??!!
BLAIR: Oh, come on, it’s not funny! You shouldn’t have hit him. (they overlap each other yelling)
TODD: I was trying to be a good Samaritan!
BLAIR: Oh, I’m supposed to believe you did all this as a favor to me?
TODD: (yells) Yeah! You’re Blair.....you’re (he becomes sincere)....you’re the mother of my child. (they share a look of understanding and warmth, he then changes direction) Who, you should be home taking care of, instead of parading around Cincinnati.....
BLAIR: (she cuts him off yelling) Oh, instead of you disappearing from her life.
TODD: (he reacts angrily and starts to walk away) Okay, I’ll talk to you....
BLAIR: (she cuts him off knowing she has gone to far and needs his help) Wait...wait, Todd. Okay, okay, okay. If you’re serious about saying that you want to help me, you can help me keep Max out of the club, cause I don’t want him to see Jessica.
TODD: (his radar is up, cocks his head) How come you don’t want Max near Jessica?
BLAIR: Because Max and Asa have it in for Jessica’s boyfriend, Will Rappaport and Jessica and Christian Vega are helping Will because they're all on the run from the cops.
TODD: (looks incredulous and comical) You’re kidding?! I...I don’t want anything to do with this. (he starts to turn away)
BLAIR: Max would turn them in, Todd.
TODD: Well that’s what you get for marrying a Buchanan!
BLAIR: Would you just stop it a minute. Just help me, please? Help me get Max in a cab, I’ll make up some story for what happened to Max, please?
TODD: No, I’ll leave well enough alone.
BLAIR: You call this leaving well enough alone?!
TODD: (he has made up him mind) Jessica’s gonna sing. And I don’t want to miss that. (he turns and walks away)
BLAIR: (yells after him) Todd!! (she yells in frustration and then turns back to bend down to Max
