Quicksand Scene #1, 1993
What is happening here is Brooke and Edmund were working on a story against this man named Jiles Westfall.  Jiles was trying to steal from the older folks in PV and when he found out Edmund knew about him, he threw Edmund in quicksand, intending to kill him slowly....   Edmund is in the quicksand talking to himself 


Edmund: If my arms are gone I'm a goner, I gotta keep them up, just keep them up    till Brooke gets here. She's gonna make it, she's gonna make it because Westfall what you don't know is that she has all ready been here.  Come on baby figure it out.

Edmund tries to pull himself out of the quicksand with some barbed wire, but fails 

Edmund: Okay Brooke it's up to you now.  Brooke's gonna come.  She's gonna come.  BROOOOOOKE!!  I know she'll come.

Meanwhile Brooke is with Derek trying to figure out where Edmund is... 

Brooke: Westfall has done something with Edmund!  I know he has! I KNOW HE HAS!  I just know by the way I felt.  I just know.   

Brooke starts freaking out

Brooke: I just know that if Edmund were okay he would have made contact. 

Back to Edmund in the quicksand 

Edmund: You know I'm not afraid to die I would just rather not do it in a mudhole thank you.  It's funny I really didn't care before if I lived or died.  Then I met a family.  A brother, people who loved me, people who let me love them back.  Peggy, Maria.  Even if I have to watch Brooke and Jamie grow up from a distance I will settle for that.  Dear God don't take me.  Don't take me now.  HELP!  HELP!  BROOOOOOOOKE! 

Derek and Brooke are talking over where Edmund could be and how Derek noticed there was mud in Westfall's room

Brooke: Quicksand!  Willow lake!  I know where he is!  Let's go!  Let's go!! 

Brooke and Derek arrive at the quicksand...

Brooke: Edmund...  EDMUND???  Oh my God.  Oh my God where is he???  OH MY GOD WE ARE TOO LATE!  WHERE IS HE??  EDMUND!!  EDMUND!!!  Edmund?  Edmund??  EDMUND??  EDMUND?  EDMUND?  This is not happening this is not real!! 

Brooke hears Edmund in the quicksand mumbling, she is very panicked this whole scene screaming a lot.. 

Brooke: Edmund??  EDMUND??  Where are you?  WHERE ARE YOU?? 

Edmund: At your feet naturally.  You sure took your sweet time getting here Brooke my life past by my three times all ready! 

Brooke:  Hey listen, at least I came prepared and not stripped of my shirt like Indiana Jones. 

Edmund: One less thing for me to look forward to. 

Derek: Hey friend a man with a rope is here all you have to do is hold on to the rope. 

Edmund: That's great, but one problem, my arms are packed like sardines in here. 

Derek: All right then I will come in after you. 

Brooke: No let me, LET ME, LET ME!!!! 

Derek: No Brooke!  Brooke:  No I'm smaller I won't sink as fast or as deep, all right?  And besides I could never pull the two of you out together. 

Derek: All right 

Edmund: Don't let her do it Derek!! 

Brooke: SHUT UP!  ALL RIGHT?  There isn't any time!! 

Derek starts tying up Brooke to go in.  Brooke is now in the quicksand with Edmund   

Brooke: It's okay, it's all right. I made it, I'm here. 

Edmund is spitting quicksand out of his mouth and Brooke starts wiping it away

Brooke: All right, okay, okay is it better?? Is it better??   

Edmund: We gotta stop meeting like this 

Brooke: Some people have no imagination!  Okay were gonna go home.  All right?   

Edmund: No no...  you get out of here, get out of here while it's still safe! 

Brooke: SHHHHH SHHHHH all right, save your strength.  Now I am gonna try to lift your arm, and don't worry if you don't have enoguh strength to hold on because I got ya.  Okay I got ya.  I'm gonna hold on tight, and I'm gonna get you out of here.  Okay?   

Brooke and Derek are pulling to get Edmund out... 

Edmund: Your my angel, my beautiful angel. 

Edmund is on top of Brooke and both Brooke and Derek are pulling to get Edmund out... 

Brooke: Go!  Do it!  Do it!  Help me...  All right, all right, all right!  Derek do you have a handkerchief?   

Derek gets the handkerchief and then Brooke kisses Derek on the cheek for helping save Edmund.   Brooke then holds Edmund's head up and wipes away the mud from Edmund's mouth 

Brooke: Okay okay... 

Edmund: What do you call 3000 laywers stuck in quicksand....  A start 

Brooke then starts to to cry and hugs Edmund.  Edmund reaches and touches Brooke's face. 


Edmund:  Bad hair day. 

Brooke: You know mud is very good for the complexion.  Pigs swear by it. 

Edmund: Speaking of pigs...  Westfall, that's where he hid the old ladies' money.  He was just taking me for a little ride for the payoff. 

Brooke is now holding Edmund in her arms.... 

Brooke: I know, i know we heard it all on the wire. 

Edmund: Did you nail him? 

Brooke: Well we had a few more pressing things to attend to! 

Brooke then kisses Edmund on the forehead  and starts stroking his face 

Brooke:  Listen forget about Westfall.  All right.  Are you okay?  You have to be.  You better be. 

Derek: We are gonna get you to a hospital okay? 

Brooke:
No!!  Listen do me a favor okay, just drop us in your van.  My aunt Pheobe has a cabin on Willow Lake.  That will be fine, okay?   Derek:  If that's okay with you buddy?   

Edmund: You heard the lady.   

Derek leaves 

Edmund: That's a good call. 

Brooke: Was it? 

Edmund:  Nobody else I trust my life to, no one but you. 

Brooke then holds Edmund in her arms
