B&B: Mon. 12/20/93 update

B&B:
Monday, 12/20/93:
The Forrester Fashion show, with appendices:
Brooke introduces Joan Furstenberg from AFI. Stephanie
has perceived Sally's nefarious stratagem and bolts
backstage to derail the Armondo train. Brooke wants to know
who did it, who let Armondo in on the Forrester show?
Thorne moans, whines, grovels, and generally acts like a
wiener, and tells Eric he has to stop the show! Eric says
he can't -- his hands are tied, shackled, manacled,
enclosed, restricted, and otherwise occupied. The Forrester
fashions come on stage.
Macy hits the closet where the models and the
executives are huddled in close proximity, and tells Sally
to cancel the scam. Sally says there's no way she'll do
that -- the plan is in action, the scam is launched, they're
past the "Point of No Return" and into "The Dead Zone".
Anthony watches the exchange closely. Macy retreats.
After Forrester is done and gone, sewn and gown, the
stage is empty. The crowd starts acting like a bunch of
soccer hooligans, hootin' and hollerin' for more babes in
short skirts to sashay themselves up and down the runway.
They start throwing their Chardonnay glasses onto the stage
and pull out cigars and six-packs of Old Milwaukee. Pretty
soon they start yelling out "2-4-6-8, why can't we
enunciate? 10-12-14-16, jailbait is still a teen! 18-20-
22-24, we've seen some booty and we want more!" and more
things like that. L.A. high society is shocked. The end of
Western Civilization is at hand.
Stephanie, perhaps inspired by the upcoming NFL
playoffs, blocks the stairway to the stage and wedges
herself in between the railings. She threatens to go on a
hunger strike, and Sally figures it'll be about three weeks
before they can pry Steph out of position. So she tells
Stephanie there will be a publicity backlash if she doesn't
let 'em onstage pronto. Stephanie puts glamour above valor
and pops out of the way. Armondo's models go to it. The
crowd quiets. Western Civilization has been saved from the
Huns once again.
Eric is mightily impressed with Anthony's show-stopping
finale, the wedding gown. Post-show, he and Anthony take
the stage and the crowd goes wild, like the Boston College
fans and the Florida State campus at the end of the Notre
Dame game. Anthony makes a brief statement: "I think West
Virginia should still be considered for the national
championship if FSU beats Nebraska". The crowd takes him
outside and stones him to death.
While Anthony is getting stoned, Macy sees Thorne and
walks over to him. Thorne can't believe that Macy allowed
Spectra to get away with the scam, and he feels betrayed.
He can't live with her like this, and slowly walks away.
Macy breaks down in tears.
Tune in tomorrow, when we'd love to hear the announcer
say:
"The part of Thorne Forrester is now being played by
BRAD PITT."
The crowd goes wild.
(Of course Brad can do B&B, "Shifting Sands" and keep
his movie career going! We cloned him.)
