El Dorado

Originally Aired September 9, 1986

Deleted Scene from The Wizard of Elm Street

Simon & Darcy

    Darcy sits alone holding one of Simon's stuffed animals, lost in a distant memory.  Simon enters.

SIMON

If you two want to be alone I can come back later.

DARCY

He’s so cuddly.  I’ve always loved the furry, silent type.

SIMON

They make wonderful traveling companions, especially when you’re on the road back to a sweet memory.

DARCY

I was thinking about the room I grew up in, remembering all my dolls.  I used to cut up my clothes to sew dresses for them.  I once cut out the center of an antique lace tablecloth my mother bought at auction to make a slip for Angelica.  She was very chic.

SIMON

I once boiled my father’s sweater, then dried it in the oven so it would shrink to fit me.  Ended up with his palm print where my pants belonged.

DARCY

I never got punished . . . for anything.  It’s terrible knowing that no matter what you do you’ll never get in trouble.  It was so safe.  Did your parents over-protect you?

SIMON

My mom wanted to keep me in a cradle till I was twenty.  But dad said, ‘The boy doesn’t have far to fall, let him get his lumps’.

DARCY

We had an Elm tree with a white wicker swing on it.  For hours I’d rock up & back studying the gnarls & the branches, plotting the course I’d take all the way to the top.  Climbing trees was taboo, but I kept planning my assault on that elm.  For years.  One night I was watching the rain from my window.  The sky lit up.  I remember the raindrops looking like glitter . . . A bolt of lighting hit the tree.  It burst into flames & I watched it burn.  I couldn’t stop crying . . .

SIMON

And now you’re an intelligence agent.

DARCY

I decided it was time to follow my heart.

SIMON

The romance of it, hmm?

DARCY

The pounding of it.  The blood pumping, the heat of it.  This is like the first time I tried skydiving, afraid the chute might not open.  But it always did.  It was safe risk.  It’s out on the limb.  I guess that’s why I joined.  But I’ve stayed because of you.

SIMON

Because of me?

DARCY

Being around you life is never boring.  Or predictable.  Who knows what trees there’ll be to climb, or what crazy way you’ll find to get up there.
