Spring 1984: Picnic at Laurel Falls

Lujack was hiding out after he found out that Alexandra was his mother, but Beth wasn't about to let him waste a beautiful spring day hiding from the world. She finally convinced him to go on a picnic with her to Laurel Falls. Lujack pretended to choke on the fresh air and Beth let him have it.  Her mind wandered to memories of being there with Phillip, so she decided it was time to go for a swim. Fresh out of the freezing cold water, Lujack couldn't take his eyes off of Beth.  "You know something?  You are one sexy lady, Beth Raines." "Right--with blue lips and goose-pimples I'm a real knock-out, huh?" "As a matter of fact, you are." "Listen, Brooke Shields is sexy, and Mindy is sexy.  But I'm just your everyday girl." "That's what I'm saying--you're the kind of girl a guy wants every day." Beth tried to laugh it off, but Lujack wouldn't give up.  "You're sitting here with your hair all wet, and your eyes [with] no make-up, and you look a hundred-percent ace." "You're serious, aren't you?" "Yeah.  You're talking to an expert, lady.  When I say you're sexy, you are sexy." Beth began to tease him.  "You're not so bad yourself." "That's it?  Thanks a lot." "What's wrong? "I'm sittin' here telling you how sexy you are, and all I get is not bad?" "Well, you're kinda cute." "Cute!!" "And unpredictable." He playfully pinned her to the ground.  "What about sexy?  Am I sexy or what?" "Well, you know, your hair's kinda long, and your body's just average--no, no!" She smiled teasingly.  "You have wonderful eyes.  They're deep-set and kind of sad--sometimes. "Yeah?"  Lujack leaned in for a kiss--their first! The next scene picks up with Beth working on her sketch of Lujack. "You know," he said watching her.  "I can't figure you out." "So stop trying and relax." "Why'd I stop with a kiss?  How come I didn't try to put the make on you? "Because you're a gentleman." Of all the things he'd been called in his life--gentleman was never one of them.  "You know something?  One of us is crazy." Return to GL Index
