Episode 40

Narrator: We begin this episode where we left off, with Burt, Mary, Chester, Jessica and Billy all about to breathe their last breath of fresh air forever.
Locked Room
<Burt is sitting down tied and he is the only one who isn't going to die from the smoke ventilation.  He begins coughing however.   He thinks to himself.>

Burt: <Thinking>  If I save them maybe they won't remember.  I love Mary and the family.  I can't let them die to protect a stupid secret.  I should be proud of myself!

<Burt rips apart from the chair and he sucks in all the smoke.  Jessica, Chester, Mary and Billy are knocked out.  They are breathing but just knocked out from the smoke.  He carries them out of the room.  The camera switches to Westers and Johnson on the top of the deck.  It's very late out.  Probably past three in the morning so no one is out. Burt now in his Super Soup uniform flies to the top deck.  Westers and Johnson all look shocked.>

Westers: It's Burt!

Johnson: No it's not!  It's that Superhero Super Soup!  He must have figured out our plan.

Westers:  You idiot.  Burt is Super Soup!

Johnson: No Burt would never dress like this.

Super Soup: You two villains have said your final words.  It's time to pay for the destruction you have caused for the Tates and Campbells!

Westers: You can never stop us with your Super strength! 

Johnson: Let's go!

<Westers and Johnson run from Super Soup.  Super Soup chases them.  They jump over ship.  Super Soup is about to go and save them!  He pauses.>

Super Soup: As unethical as it is, I can't save them.  They will just cause more issues for the family.  It's unfortunate but I think everyone is better off if this is the last time we ever see them again!

<Burt quickly changes back into his usual vacation attire.  He walks downstairs and through the casino.  Mary catches up to him.>

Mary: Burt!

Burt: Mary thank god you are okay.

Mary: Where did you go?

Burt: You didn't see what happened?

Mary: No.

Burt: Super Soup saved us and flew me out first since I was breathing.  He brought me to the top deck for fresh air.

Mary: Oh...

Burt: Is everyone okay?

Mary: Yes.  Everyone is going to bed now. 

Burt: We should too.

Mary: Why were you in the casino now anyways?

Burt: Oh no reason.  Just walking through.  I don't gamble Mary.  Wouldn't look good on my Sheriff records.

Mary: That's true.

Burt: Let's get to bed.

Mary: In a minute.

<Burt leaves and Mary has a suspicious look on her face.>

Island Stopover
Cruise Director: This is your cruise director Josh speaking.  We have just arrived at the beautiful island of Curacao.  Enjoy the day at the beach and be sure to visit the village.

<Everyone including the Martins, Tates and Campbells get up from a stressful evening to the beautiful island.  No Westers and Johnson on the boat makes this a real vacation now.>
Jessica's Room
<Jessica is getting ready to leave her room.  She opens the door and Chester is standing outside of it.  She smiles.>

Chester: Good morning.

Jessica: Good morning Chester.  Are you feeling better?

Chester: Just knowing you are safe again makes me feel better.

Jessica: Please don't do the pretty talk.

Chester: You are aware that you said we would get married.

Jessica: I'm well aware of that but I thought at the time I was going to die.

Chester: Well you didn't. 

Jessica: Well I thought I was.

Chester: That shouldn't change anything!

Jessica: It does.  Chester I can't marry you again.  I've learned from my mistakes and I would have hoped you would too.

Chester: What do you mean?

Jessica: I know no matter what happens between us, you will never stay committed to our marriage.  I always fell for the trap Chester.   You will cheat on me the first second you get.  You will cheat on the people you cheat on me with!  It's your nature and I won't allow myself to feel cheated anymore by you.

Chester: I'm sorry Jess......that was then and this is now.  Isn't there any way I could prove it to you?

Jessica: You can't.  I'm getting some food and looking around the island. 

<Jessica walks out of her room.>

Chester: I'll prove to you again Jessica that I can be a loyal husband!

Martins Suite
<Benson is sitting in a chair reading the newspaper.  Mike, Alice and Robert are all watching the television.>

Alice: Benson, can we go swimming?

Benson: No.

Mike: Benson, can we go and get some food?

Benson: No.

Robert: Benson, can me and Mike go pick up some girls?

Benson: No! 

Alice: Why are you so mean to us?

Benson: I wanted to visit Caracao.  Instead you're parents say you guys aggravated them so much they needed a day away from you.  Me being the nice guy and all offered to watch you three ingrates for the afternoon!  So when I say no, it means no and you guys are not going anywhere even if this boat sinks to our deaths!

Robert: You know Benson we're not that bad of kids....

Benson: No you guys are the worse.  Trust me, with the family I've dealt with the past 15 years I know! 

Michael: You stayed with the Tates for 15 years?

Benson: Actually more like 20.  I've seen each of them grow up to be adults.

Alice: Wow, you must be old then.

<Benson gives them a look.>

Michael: Have you done much with your life.  I mean on your few days off a week?

Benson: Actually I get 1 day off a week.

Robert: Wow, the Tates really got a good one on Benson! 

Michael: Yea the butler we had only worked four days a week and had the entire weekend off once a month.

Benson: Hey, I might work a lot but it feels good deep down inside.

Robert: Well the Tates are loaded they probably get you nice gifts and pay well.

Benson: Actually, no.....

Alice: Benson would you like to work for my family?  I mean we'll give you a hard time but you'll get paid good.

Benson: ..........No.  I might not get paid well, have any weekends off ever!  I might be cleaning up once a month debris from the majors fireworks but at least those people respect me!  I haven't had a moment to relax since I got to this room.  I want you three to leave!  Find something to do!  Get out!

<All three kids leave.> 

Benson: You would think I'd have a raise by now..........

Caracao
Dutch: Eunice, I think I know what I'm spending the money on.

Eunice: What?

Dutch: That house.

Eunice: WHAT?!

Dutch: I think it's time we move on with our lives.  I can't help but feel like I'm living off of your family too much.  I mean I want to make my own living.  Have our own family. 

Eunice: That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!   If we have kids I'm just going to gain weight and they will all turn out stupid if they were made from your sperm.

Dutch: Hey watch it Eunice!  This is my money and I'm spending it on this house.  We looked inside and both thought it was charming.

Eunice: But I don't want to move!

Dutch: Think about it.  We will live on a tropical island.  Our backyard is an ocean.   This is an amazing buy and I have the money for it.  This is my dream.

Eunice: I really don't want to move.

Dutch: Okay Eunice, I didn't want to tell you this but if we buy the house I'll buy you your own live-in male stripper.

Eunice: Nothing will chang......my own male stripper?  What kind of person do you think I am Dutch?

Dutch: Well lately, you've been a real 10 cent slut.

Eunice: DUTCH!  How dare you but okay.  That is definitely a deal!  Can he sleep in our bedroom?

Dutch: Now you're pushing it!

Eunice: We're moving to the Caribbean!  How I always thought I'd be more excited.

The Destiny
<It's late at night now. Mary is sitting in her bedroom very angry.  Burt walks in and closes the door slowly hoping that he isn't waking up Mary.>

Mary: Leave Burt.

Burt: Listen Mary I can explain.

Mary: Okay Burt, explain!  You stood me up for dinner tonight.  You are seen in the casino last night after we almost all lose our lives and you've been wandering off and disappearing for the last few months as if it's all natural for you.

Burt: Listen I will explain.

Mary: No more explaining.  I know it already.  Burt, I know your secret........

<The camera looks at Burt very guilty.>

How does Mary know that Burt is Super Soup?  What will Chester do to prove to Jessica he is really in love with her?   Will he have to stop quadruple dating each night on the cruise?  When the boat comes back home, will Benson be willing to work for the Tates?  Have we seen the last of Johnson and Westers?   And finally, are Dutch and Eunice really moving?  Will the male stripper get his own bathroom or will he share it with Eunice?  These questions and many others might be answered in the next episode of SOAP!
