ST. CROIX KISS
aired July1982

Making use of the connection between Quola and classic films, this scene was directed in a style similar to the famous beach kiss in the film "From Here to Eternity". It was shot on location on the island of St. Croix. This scene delivered the payoff first kiss of Mr. McCord (what Nola called Quint at the time) and Nola. After months of exasperating and interrupted "almost kisses", the fans were about at the end of their wits waiting for that first kiss, which would be the first acknowledgment to each other that their relationship truly was much more than just professional and that they were in fact falling in love.

Quinton and Nola were scuba diving off the shores of St. Croix looking for maps that went down with a Phoenician barge centuries prior. The maps were as to the whereabouts of the "temple of gold" that Quint spent most of his adult life trying to find. Quint drilled Nola on scuba diving safety, but Nola's curiosity got the better of her and against advice went off on her own to investigate. While exploring on her own, Nola got trapped as her oxygen supply quickly ran out. At the last minute Quint found Nola and rescued her. He pulled her up onto the beach as she coughed and gasped for air. Quint was terrified and could no longer keep his feelings for Nola secret. After comforting and relaxing her, Quint admitted how much Nola meant to him and how precious she was to him. Nola trembled at his proclamations. Then finally the long awaited moment happened and they kissed . . . gently at first, but then more intensely. It was a classic pay off moment that was definitely worth the wait. After the delicious kiss they both admitted how long they had waited for that moment as they embraced milking every moment. Quint begged Nola to never put her life in danger again as Nola delivered her trademark sighs.

The ice had been broken, but just when would she stop calling him Mr. McCord and get on a first name basis?
