The Big Spin: A "lost script"!
(We don't know if it is a spec script or a "real" script.
But since it's selled we think that it was really written for the
show and never filmed)
Basically, this episode is taking place, I'm guessing early on in
the second season, when Kevin is still in 7th grade. (The title
page mentions that this first draft was written July 10th 1988)
It starts out at school, and Kevin really wants to talk to this
girl, Laura Aznavour. Paul encourages him, so he goes over
and talks. Kev asks if she wants to do anything this weekend and
she says shes going to 2 parties. After hearing that, Kevin and
Paul decide to throw their own party the following weekend.
Kevin is really nervous about asking his parents, because of what
happened at Karens party, last year (this is mentioned many times
throughout the episode- "Rememeber what happened at Karen's
Party?") The narrator states that 2 cops came and their was
a riot, so his parents are very leary about having a party
there again. Norma thinks it is a good idea, and after many struggles,
convinces Jack to let Kevin have the party. Norma trys to help Kevin
out, but brings home clown cre paper and Gumby Cups. When Karen
sees this, she helps Kevin out and redecorates over Norma's things,
but hanging beads and Beatles posters all over. The party is ready,
but nobody shows, up and just when Kev and Paul are thinking that
nobody is going to show, all the geusts arrive (like an hour late).
Laura comes, and so does the girl Paul likes (Linda Chesterfield),
Winnie is there also. The party goes good, and then one of the geusts
suggests that they play Spin The Bottle (hence the episode title,
"The Big Spin"). Kevin takes the first spin and he has
to kiss Linda Chesterfield. A bunch of people spin and then when
Kevin goes again, he gets Laura. They have a long kiss, and everybody
"hoots and hollers". But, when Laura spins, she kisses
another boy for a much longer time, and Kev gets upset. Kevin then
realizes that Laura really didnt like him, she just likes guys in
general. Then, Kevin goes off an plays flip-flop hockey with Winnie...
thats how it ends.
So, I mean, I geuss I can see why they never filmed this episode,
because it definately could have been more intresting... but there
was some funny narration and some typical Wayne gags.
You probably wanna condense this summary, for your page. I
just wanted to give you a more detailed version. I will give you
info about "It's Only rock n' Roll", when I get it, and
I will be putting some info on my webapage about it... I'm in the
process of building a page right now! :-)) I will tell you when
I'm done. Also... an intresting tidbit: Kevin's middle name is revealed
in this lost episode... when Kevin is dancing with Laura at his
party, he turns the music up, and Jack gets mad and yells from upstairs...
"Kevin Bartholomew Arnold... turn that damn music down right
now."
Thanks to Katie Dusha who bought the script and wrote this summary!
