WASILLA’S FRUIT CUP  
Setting the Scene:  
When Victoria’s mother suddenly falls in love with a man she meets on a cruise  
ship and decides to marry him and move to Alaska, Victoria’s dreams of opening a gift  
shop in Kansas City with her mother as full partner collapse. Now she and her new “step-  
brother-to-be,” Buck Silverbow, must find a way to stop them. However, when Buck  
realizes how much in love their parents are, he changes his mind about interfering, which  
infuriates Victoria. This scene takes place in the dining room of the hotel Buck and his  
father own.  
Excerpt from Northern Exposure:  
Ron signaled to Wasilla and she hurried to their table. “Now, I suggest we all tell  
Wasilla what we’d like for lunch.”  
Buck shot a quick glance across the table to Victoria with a shrug of his shoulders  
and although she was glad the confrontation had stopped, she hoped his shrug didn’t  
imply he was giving up. They had to change their parent’s minds.  
Once a pleasant lunch of salmon salad, croissants and a fresh fruit cup was  
enjoyed, Ron suggested Victoria and her mother spend sometime together while the men  
folk took care of their chores.
