Peter Cetera on the Oldies station: Glory Of Love

I will always love you, I will never leave you alone.
Dan: (pushes on the theatre door, but it bumps into something and doesn't open more than a couple inches, he frowns and peers outside, looking down, realizes Helen's up against the door, seemingly unconscious) Helen! (he pushes the door harder, but steadily, so that Helen slowly slides across the wide top landing, and he squeezes through the narrow opening) Helen, hey baby. (he checks for her pulse)
Helen: (her eyelashes flutter up at his touch and her eyes widen in fear) No! Stay away! Don't touch me! (she flails at Dan and he catches her wrists)
Dan: Babe, baby, it's me. It's Dan! Snap out of it!
Peter Cetera on the Oldies station: it breaks my heart to see you crying.
Helen: (stops flailing and squints at him, her glasses having been knocked off in her collapse) Dan?
Dan: Yeah, that's right. I'm here. Baby, what happened? Did you slip? (he draws her close to him)
Helen: I came out here because -- I was going to get the easels from the school. (she frowns, thinking) Someone was saying my name.
Dan: Someone else was out here? Who?
Peter Cetera on the Oldies station: You keep me standing tall, you help me through it all,
Helen: I don't know. I looked around the lot, but I couldn't see who was speaking. I got scared and I tried to get back inside, but the doors were locked.
Dan: The doors weren't locked, babe. I just came out, and they weren't locked.
Helen: Dan, I tried to get them open, and they wouldn't budge!
Dan: I believe you, baby. They might have gotten jammed, or even frozen. Did you recognize this person's voice?
Peter Cetera on the Oldies station: I am a man who would fight for your honor,
Helen: No, and I couldn't see anyone. (reaches to her face) Dan, where are my glasses?
Dan: It's okay, they probably fell off when you slipped. Stay right there. (he left her on the top step, leaning against the door, and searched through the snow on the top two steps, coming up with the glasses) Here they are. (he helps Helen put them on) Baby, I'm going to call an ambulance.
Helen: I don't need an ambulance, Dan.
Dan: (sternly) You listen to me, Mrs. Samuels, you didn't fall on a bed of feather pillows. This is solid granite. People start thinking it's spring right about now, so they stop salting. Then we're hit with a last snowfall, and a few nights of freezing temperatures, and people are slipping all over the place.
Helen: But an ambulance, really--
Peter Cetera on the Oldies station: Just like a knight in shining armor, - from a long time ago.
Dan: (interrupts) I shouldn't have let you move as much as you have. You could have a concussion, like that girl, Emmilynn, had. Just sit there and let me be official. (he kisses her forehead then speaks into his mic that's clipped to his collar)
Helen: (smiles at his tone, and the kiss, but while he's talking on his radio, her eyes move to the far side of the lot, and the dark line of trees there) Who was out there? Who was saying my name?
Dan: (getting off the radio) I'm going to take a quick look around.
Helen: Dan, maybe you shouldn't.
Peter Cetera on the Oldies station: I am a man who would fight for your honor, - I'll be the hero you're dreaming of.
Dan: (smiles) It's okay, I'm not going to let you out of my sight. Just stay right here.
Helen: No, Dan. Let's just go inside and wait for the ambulance?
Dan: Don't be scared, baby.
Helen: But what if whoever it is, is still out there?
Dan: If somebody's out there, stalking you, and playing mind games, they're about to find out they picked the wrong guy's wife to mess with. (he pulls her duster more closely around her) Sit tight, honey. I'll be right back.
Peter Cetera on the Oldies station: We'll live forever, knowing together - that we did it all for the glory of love.
