ALL MY CHILDREN

APRIL 17, 2001



Gillian: Ryan?
Gillian: Ryan?
Ryan: Right behind you, Mrs. Lavery.
Gillian: Oh. I love the sound of that. I could hear it over and over. I could write a song about it. I could stand on the top of the turret and scream it to the world.
Ryan: I don't think I'm ready to share you with the world yet, especially wearing that.
Gillian: You want me all to yourself, do you?
Ryan: Yes, I do.
Gillian: And what do you have in mind?
Ryan: Guess.
Gillian: I have a better idea. Show me. But not before you tell me what you're hiding behind your back.
Ryan: Oh. A gardenia. I promised you one every day.
Gillian: Well, you lied.
Ryan: What do you mean?
Gillian: Because you still have it. Give it to me. Give it to me.
Ryan: Come and get it. Gillian: Give it to me!

[Gillian laughs]

Ryan: I'll give it to you, all right. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Is this what you plan to do every single day with your gardenia? Because if it is, I will definitely keep them coming.
Gillian: What is that?
Ryan: I have no idea.
Ryan: What is this doing here?
Gillian: I don't know.

Dimitri: Alex, what is it?
Alex: Leslie Coulson tried to kill David Hayward in the ER last night.
Dimitri: What? No, wait. I thought David was behind bars.
Alex: Yeah, he was, but apparently he had some accident to his hand and he got brought in. Leslie got to him, she pumped his IV full of pain medication, and he's in critical condition.
Dimitri: Is there anything they can do?
Alex: No, they tried everything they can. He's still unconscious.
Dimitri: Wow. David's life finally caught up to him.
Alex: Oh, dear.
Dimitri: Listen, whatever happens, at least we know that Anna's secret is safe for the time being.
Alex: Yeah, I suppose that is something to be grateful for.
Dimitri: Yeah.

[Knock on door]

Anna: Alex, you got to get me out of here now.

Vanessa: Joe, where is he? Where is David?
Joe: Vanessa, calm down. He's in the cubicle.
Vanessa: Well, is he going to be all right? He is going to be all right, isn't he?
Joe: Let's have a seat.
Vanessa: Somebody told me that that Coulson woman tried to give him an overdose or something.
Joe: That's correct. She is now in a psychiatric ward.
Vanessa: Well, I want her behind bars so she can't do any more damage like this. And David hurt his hand? At least it got him out of that awful jail cell for one night. Joe, is he going to be able to operate?
Joe: Vanessa, please, please --
Vanessa: No, why do I have to sit? Is it more serious? Is he going to die?
Joe: Listen to me. Last night David's heart stopped. Now, we were able to bring him back, but he has not yet regained consciousness. His condition is grave. But you ought to be here just in case.
Leo: Come on, just have a seat, have a seat.
Joe: Vanessa, I don't know if you believe in the power of prayer, but I've seen it work over and over again. And if you would care to pray, we do have a small hospital chapel just down the corridor.
Leo: Dr. Martin, you're going to have to do better than that.
Joe: We've done all we can, Leo. It's up to David to rally. Frankly, he seems to have lost the will to live.
Leo: So you called us down here to pray for him, to give him the will to live? We're the last people you should've called.
Vanessa: Leo, please!

Anna: The walls are closing in on me. I' memorized every crack in the ceiling.
Dimitri: Cracks? Well, we're going to have to get those fixed.
Anna: With all due respect, brother-in-law, shut up. I need fresh air, trees, grass, unfiltered sunshine.
Alex: I'm sure you're getting antsy.
Anna: "Antsy"? I am going bonkers. I'm talking to the spiders. You've got spiders, too. Please, you have got to set me free. Just let me out into the land of the living for a few short hours.
Alex: I'm sorry, Darling. It's out of the question. It's too dangerous.
Anna: Well, I have an idea. See, you stay here, you take the world's longest bubble bath, and I put on a stethoscope and an armful of bangles and pretend to be you.
Alex: Well, I hope there's more to being me than just that.
Anna: Infinitely more. I just can't think of it at the moment. What do you say? Yes? Yes?
Alex: No. Dimitri --
Dimitri: Hey, I've been ordered to shut up.
Anna: I didn't mean it -- no -- because that's a very good idea. See, I'll take him with me.
Alex: No one is going anywhere. Dimitri, could you just leave me alone for a few seconds with my sister?
Dimitri: Absolutely. I'll -- I'll call up Edmund. I'll fill him in on the latest developments.
Alex: Sure.

Anna: Well?
Alex: Absolutely not.
Anna: Oh, you are the most exasperating woman I've ever met.
Alex: How would you know?
Anna: Because there can't possibly be another one like you.
Alex: That's what I used to think.
Anna: Oh, very clever.
Alex: Thank you.
Anna: Please, Alex, I can pretend to be you. Just long enough for me to go to the market and choose my own fruit.
Alex: If there's something in particular you want --
Anna: I want freedom. I want sunshine, air. There are daffodils outside my window, and I am jealous of them.
Alex: Anna, I appreciate your cabin fever. However, you are still on medication and you mustn't overdo it. And now that your seizures have stopped, I am hoping that your memory will come back. Maybe it already is.
Anna: Why? Because I remember a bloke in a tuxedo? I don't even know whether that was Robert Scorpio.
Alex: But something must have triggered that memory. Do you have any idea what it was?
Anna: No. No, it's nothing tangible. It was just a feeling. You know, I was looking out the window and I had this overwhelming desire to be free, to leap off a cliff into a river or sail around the islands of Capri.
Alex: Are those things you remember doing with Robert?
Anna: No, but I do have this feeling that this restlessness is connected to him somehow.
Alex: You two led a very active life.
Anna: I wonder about my daughter Robin. My daughter. That sounds so -- I wonder where she is, how she is. Oh, God, there's so many questions. Sometimes I just want to leap out of my skin.
Alex: The answers will come in time. You mustn't stress about it.
Anna: Which is why I could really use a walk outside. What do you say? Come on, be a sport.
Alex: Oh -- I'm sorry, no. It's not a good idea. Maybe in a few days.
Anna: All right, warden.
Alex: Are you going to be all right? Because I must get on. I've got a stack of research to take care of.
Anna: No, I'll be fine. I have the spiders for friends. You have a lot of work to do?
Alex: Yeah. I'll be in the study if you need me.
Anna: Will it take long?
Alex: Oh, I guess I'll be there most of the morning, maybe a little this afternoon.
Anna: Oh. So maybe I'll pop by later and have tea.
Alex: That'd be nice. I'm sorry, Anna.
Anna: No worries. I'm over it.

Anna: Aha -- freedom. Ok.

Gillian: Newspaper clippings.
Ryan: Yeah. And they're all about Anna Devane and Robert Scorpio and how they were killed in a boating accident.
Gillian: Yeah. Anna was Alex's sister and Robert was her husband.
Ryan: Right. But, I mean, like, what's this about? Is this like she's keeping some sort of morbid scrapbook?
Gillian: I think I know what it is. Edmund and Dimitri told me a while back they were trying to find Alex's niece.
Ryan: Yeah? But what does this have to do with her niece? I mean, this is about a boat explosion. This is very strange. Something doesn't add up here.
Gillian: Yeah, they have been acting mysteriously. But, you know, maybe it's because they were planning our wedding.
Ryan: No, actually, this goes way before that. Remember we came up here and there was that security guard waving a gun in our face?
Gillian: Yeah, Bart.
Ryan: Yeah, that was very strange. And then Alex's disappearance. She comes back with some rare disease. They never fully explained that disappearance.
Gillian: Well, I know that Alex had some mental blocks about her past, so I just figured that had something to do with the whole disappearance and everything. I didn't want to press her about it.
Ryan: Well, she's been having some mental blocks with her more recent past, too. I mean, she didn't remember that we were married before.
Gillian: Maybe she's been ill.
Ryan: She's strange.
Gillian: No, Alex is a sweetheart.
Ryan: Ahem. A sweetheart, huh? Remember finding that body, the hunting lodge about a year ago?
Gillian: Yeah, and those people were just put in jail. And it seems like ages ago, anyway.
Ryan: Yeah. It was ages ago. Gosh, we were so far away from this day right here. Now look at us. Man and wife. I just don't want anything to ruin this, that's all.
Gillian: Hey, nothing's going to happen, ok? Believe that. Alex and Dimitri love us, and they gave us a beautiful wedding. We should be thanking them, not second-guessing them.
Ryan: You're right. You're right, you're right, you're right. I'll stop. I'll stop. But maybe we should leave Wildwind.
Gillian: What, leave right this very second?
Ryan: Hmm.
Gillian: Come on, it's the first morning of our honeymoon. I can think of a lot --
Ryan: Yeah?
Gillian: Better things to do.
Ryan: As a matter of fact, there is something you can do for me.
Gillian: Name it. Ryan: It's an incredible dream.
Gillian: Well, I'm sure I can come up with something.
Ryan: Actually, it's not ours.

Joe: Any change? Jake: No, no. In fact, his vitals are weakening.
Vanessa: No. My son, my first born.
Jake: I'm sorry, Vanessa. I didn't see you standing here.

[Vanessa gasps]

Vanessa: Leo. Where did you go? Thank God you're back.
Leo: Listen, I went to call the one person who can save David's life, ok?
Dixie: Is it true? Is David dying?

Ryan: Ow!
Gillian: You're working on our honeymoon!
Ryan: No. Well, you know, not exactly. You know what I did is I made the mistake of checking my messages when I got you your gardenia. See? It's very pretty. Anyway, there was a message there from -- from a very high-profile client.
Gillian: Ryan Lavery, should I file for an annulment now?
Ryan: No, you should not. You're stuck with me. Just hear me out, ok? Just hear me out. It's about true love.
Gillian: Ok, you have one minute.
Ryan: Ok. Ahem. Well, this very high-profile client -- it's his 25th wedding anniversary, and he wants to buy his wife a very, very romantic anniversary present. And I have by the end of the day to get back to him.
Gillian: Ok. So -- so this guy is so much in love with his wife and now he wants you -- because he waited till the very last second -- wants you to get him out of bondage. An: Uh -- ahem -- actually, out of a bind, but hold that thought. Hold that thought. He's willing to pay big -- very big -- and -- the kind of big I'm talking about is, like, make my whole quarter. Make Adam Chandler very happy kind of big.
Gillian: Well, why didn't you just say that in the first place?
Ryan: You see? I knew I could count on you. You're amazing.
Gillian: Well, I just -- I just want to get rid of Adam Chandler, you know? The sooner we can get rid of him, the sooner I can have you all to myself.
Ryan: Yeah.
Gillian: So have you come up with anything so far?
Ryan: Yes, I have. Yeah, I'm thinking maybe, like -- I don't know -- a cruise to some exotic place.
Gillian: No, if they're rich, they probably take cruises all the time.
Ryan: Good point, good point. I got to come up with something unique.
Gillian: Which doesn't necessarily mean spending a lot of money, you know --
Ryan: No.
Gillian: As long as it's from the heart. Ok, so they've been together 25 years --
Ryan: Yeah.
Gillian: And they're still in love with each other.
Ryan: Adore each other.
Gillian: Wow.
Ryan: Yeah.
Gillian: So then they have a really strong, powerful love, just like Grandmama and Alexi.
Ryan: And like ours.
Gillian: And like all the Andrassy women. Do you know that Grandmama told me that her great-grandfather commissioned Rembrandt to paint a portrait of Eustacia? I still remember it hanging in the castle, and it was just -- it was breathtaking, just the way he saw Eustacia.
Ryan: Hmm. Wow. What happened to it?
Gillian: Oh, my father sold it when he had some substantial gambling debts. And grandma still gets tears in her eyes when she talks about it.
Ryan: You are a genius. I know exactly what I'm going to do.
Gillian: Where are you going?
Ryan: I am going to arrange for a modern masterpiece.

Stuart: Alex. Come in. Come on in. It's so good to see you.
Anna: Oh, happy to see you, too.
Stuart: You look wonderful. We were really worried when we heard you were in the hospital. You just missed Marian.
Anna: Did I? Tell her hello.
Stuart: Oh, I will, I will. She'll be really sorry she didn't get a chance to see you.
Anna: Well, everything looks great. Do you have anything exhibited here?
Stuart: Yeah, sure.
Anna: Oh. Could I see it?
Stuart: Did Dimitri like the portrait I did of him and Maximillian?
Anna: Yeah, yeah, fantastic. Dimitri and Max.
Stuart: Yeah. Are you feeling ok? You seem a little hazy.
Anna: Oh, yeah. It's my first day out. I --
Stuart: Oh. Why don't you let me get you a chair and a drink of water.
Anna: No, no, thank you. You're very kind. Actually, I was looking at this painting right here, the one of the young girl.
Stuart: Oh, yeah. You like that?
Anna: Yeah.
Stuart: Yeah, that's -- the woman is an emerging artist that I've been mentoring. The subject's her daughter.
Anna: Oh. She'd be much older now.
Stuart: Who, the artist's daughter?
Anna: No -- no, I was thinking of someone else. Do you have any other paintings by her?
Stuart: Yeah. Yeah, I have some in the back. Do you want me to bring them out?
Anna: No -- could I come back there with you? Would that be all right?
Stuart: Sure. Oh, sure. Come on. Right this way.

Dixie: Leo, I'm sorry. I can't do this. I shouldn't be here. I'm so sorry.
Leo: Dixie, Dixie -- David's given up on his life. Don't you give up on him, too. You're his only hope.
Dixie: I -- I can't. I shouldn't be here. Do you understand?
Leo: No -- who cares? Who cares? David's dying. He's in that cold, sterile room with some machine counting out the last minutes of his life.
Dixie: What can I do?
Leo: Listen, come here, I know -- I know that everybody hates David, ok? Nobody except me and my mother cares whether he lives or dies. But I thought that maybe you might.
Dixie: It's my fault that he's in here. If I -- none of this would have happened if he hadn't tried to make me fall in love --
Leo: Dixie, never mind about that. That's for you and your conscience to work out later. But do you really want to let David dying add to the mix?
Dixie: No. Joe? Joe, isn't there anything else that you can do?
Joe: Dixie, we have done everything medically possible.
Leo: Dixie, just go in there and talk to him. Let him hear your voice. You can reach him. I know you can.
Dixie: Ok. Ok, I'll try.

Dixie: Hi, David. It's me.
Dixie: Everyone seems to think that I can give you something to live for. But if you want to go ahead, just give up and die, then just do it. I won't stop you. I couldn't. If this world doesn't hold anything for you, then just let go. Just let go of everything. But I hope you know what you're giving up and who you're leaving behind.

Dixie's voice: I hope you know what you're giving up and who you're leaving behind.

Joe: He's not responding. We're losing him.
Jake: He's already gone, Dad. Tad: Well, I'd say this calls for a drink.
Joe: Oh, Son, his body is not even cold yet.

[Festive music plays]

Jake: Tad, do you have any good jokes to send David down to hell with?
Tad: Certainly! You know the one about the cardiologist, took out his own heart? He didn't want to get sued for conflict of interest!

[Laughter]

Vanessa: This is intolerable! Are we going to get champagne or not?

[Cheers]

Tad: All right, everybody, all right! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! It's time for the toast, ok? So raise your glasses and let's give the good doctor a fitting sendoff. Folks, David Hayward -- a real corn on the foot of humanity.
Jake: Yeah!

[Cheers]

Vanessa: Wait, wait, Darlings.
Jake: Wait, wait, wait.
Vanessa: He was my son, so he couldn't help it, you see? He was just succumbing to his weaker, self-destructive genes, just like his father.
Leo: Don't worry, mother. You still got me.
Vanessa: Ooh.

[Monitor flat-lines]

Joe: Wait. Wait! He's flat-lining. It's time.

[Cheers and laughter]
All: 10, Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!

[Cheers]

Dimitri: Good riddance!
Leo: Straight to hell!

[Music stops]

David: Stop it! Stop laughing at me! I'm dying! Doesn't anybody care at all?

[Laughter]

[Music plays]

[Music stops]

[Monitor beeps]

Dixie: I tried, Leo. It's no use.

Stuart: Hi.
Ryan: Stuart -- just the man I'm looking for.
Stuart: Well, here I am, where I almost always am.
Ryan: I have a proposition for you. Stuart: Ok.
Ryan: I've got a client who wants to buy his wife the most romantic anniversary gift imaginable. They've been married for 25 years, and he's still madly in love with her.
Stuart: Oh, that's great. That's so inspiring.
Ryan: Yes, it is. And then I spoke with Gillian, and she told me about her great-great-grandfather and how he had a portrait done of her great-great-grandmother by Rembrandt.
Stuart: Oh, holy smokes.
Ryan: And then I remembered your portraits of Marian.
Stuart: I hope you're not comparing my portraits to Rembrandt's.
Ryan: They're remarkable, Stuart.
Stuart: Well, that's because they're about Marian.
Ryan: And because you capture the essence of love, which is why I'm here. So this is what I was thinking. I was thinking if I could get my client to get a photograph of his wife, maybe one where she's, you know, looking at him, could you do a portrait from that?
Stuart: Um --
Ryan: My client -- ahem -- is prepared to be very generous.
Stuart: Oh, well, that -- that's very generous. That's -- that's twice my normal fee.
Ryan: Really? Well, then, how about doing two portraits -- one of my client's wife and then one of another woman? Completely unrelated jobs, of course.
Stuart: Well, ok, as long as your client doesn't mind.
Ryan: He won't mind a bit. So we have a deal?
Stuart: Deal. Ok. Get me the photographs as soon as possible.
Ryan: I will do that. In the meantime, I have to rush back to my beautiful wife.
Stuart: Your wife? Are you and Gillian --
Ryan: Yes.
Stuart: Oh, that's -- congratulations!
Ryan: Thank you, thank you.
Stuart: That's great.
Ryan: Thanks.

Anna: Those paintings are so beautiful. Hello, Ryan.
Ryan: Hello, Alex.
Stuart: Why didn't you tell me that Gillian and Ryan got remarried?
Anna: Yeah.
Stuart: That's wonderful news.
Anna: Lovely wedding.
Ryan: Stuart, would you excuse us? I need to speak with Alex.
Stuart: Sure. Ok, sure. I've got things to do in the back. I'll be in the back.

Anna: Oh, fine. You know what? I have to --
Ryan: Alex, I just -- I know something's going on with you and your sister, and I really need to know what it is.
Anna: My sister? What do you know about her?

Alex: Anna? Anna?
Dimitri: Alex, have you seen her? Any sign?
Alex: No. I checked her room twice. The gardens, the stable. Bart doesn't know about this, does he?
Dimitri: No, no. She wasn't with him, and you know how upset he gets, so --
Alex: Damn it. I should have seen this coming. She wanted to get out of here so badly.
Dimitri: Listen, I'm going to take one more look around. She's got to be somewhere on the grounds.
Alex: Ok. Wait. Oh, no. She's got my car keys. She's got the car.
Dimitri: Oh, damn. All right, well, we have to handle this quietly, ok? So I'm going to get a hold of the guards, I'm going to ask them if they've seen you leave the premises. Then I'm going to go into town, see if I can spot the car.
Alex: All right, I'll come with you.
Dimitri: No! You can't Darling, the last thing we need is for someone to spot both of you.
Alex: Yeah, of course. Sorry.
Dimitri: All right. Don't worry. I'll find her and I'll bring her home safely, ok?
Alex: Go easy on her. It must be so hard for her to be locked up here now that her memory's coming back. And that's encouraging, actual.
Dimitri: And extremely dangerous, given the circumstances. Don't worry. I'll be gentle, ok? But, you know, she has to understand that it is extremely risky for her to go out there running around pretending to be you. No one knows --

Gillian: Good morning!
Dimitri: Hi.
Gillian: Can I talk to you both for a minute?
Dimitri: Actually, I'm on my way out.
Gillian: No, no, no. Not before I thank you again for our beautiful wedding.
Dimitri: My pleasure, Princess. Now I got to go. I'll see you.
Gillian: Ok. Oh.

Gillian: What's going on with him?
Ryan: Gillian and I found some newspaper articles under the mattress about your sister and her husband being killed in a boat explosion.
Anna: Oh. Yeah. How gruesome. I'm sorry. Edmund and I, we've been trying to find out all we can about my late sister. We want locate her daughter.
Ryan: Right. Gillian thought it was something like that. But I -- I don't get it. If you're trying to find your niece, why don't you just get on the internet? You could probably find her in an afternoon. Unless there's something else going on.
Anna: What else could be going on? No, it's just this matter needs to be handled carefully because she doesn't know I exist, you know. I could throw her life off kilter.
Ryan: Really? Well, what about our lives?
Anna: What do you mean?
Ryan: Well, there's something going on at Wildwind, Alex, and I've got the feeling that you're connected to it.
Anna: It doesn't concern you.
Ryan: Well, actually, that's where you're wrong. When I look up and I see a man waving a gun at me and at my wife, it concerns me. So I need to know what kind of danger you've got us in.

Leo: I was certain that you'd be able to help him.
Dixie: I don't think he wants to come back, Leo. Is there something that you want to say to him? Because I think now is the time.
Leo: Just that I never wanted this to happen. M sorry, man.
Dixie: He cares about you, David. He's somebody that you'd be leaving behind. Just like me.

[Laughter]

David: Stop!
Tad: Give up the ghost, Hayward!
Jake: Wait, wait, wait! Hang on, hang on, everybody! Let's get down to business!
Tad: Yeah!
David: Just stop for a minute!
Tad: It's harvest time!
Joe: Now, what can we take of value? Eyes.
Jake: Check.
Vanessa: He always had such pretty eyes.
Joe: Kidneys.
Jake: Check again, Dad.
David: What, you're taking my organs?
Tad: Only the ones that aren't rotten.
Joe: Liver!
Jake: Check!
David: Wait! Stop this! I'm not dead yet!
Leo: Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What do we have here? Oh!
All: Oh!
Vanessa: Wonderful, darling!
Leo: That's all you ever gave me, anyway! Thank you!

[Laughter]

Joe: Wait. Is there anything I've forgotten?
Jake: Dad, you know, it's too bad we can't take his hands because that's all he was ever good for anyway.
Ryan: What about his brain?
Tad: Too warped.
Gillian: What about his heart?
Alex: Oh, you funny girl. Did you hear what she said?
Gillian: I'm so sorry! I forgot. Can you imagine David Hayward with a heart?

[Laughter]

Vanessa: Oh.

Dixie: You're all wrong. David has a heart. And I have it.


Alex: Dimitri and I just found out that David Hayward is in the hospital. He might die.
Gillian: What?
Alex: It's a long story.
Gillian: Oh. You don't have to tell me because I couldn't care less about David Hayward. In fact, I tried to kill him myself once.
Alex: Oh. Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore.
Gillian: Oh, I'm not. I'm not worrying about anything. In fact, I am completely happy. And that's why I came here. I wanted to tell you and Dimitri that our wedding was just perfect. We couldn't have planned it better.
Alex: And we loved every moment of it, too. But, you know, we're going to have to get together and chat about this later. I'm in the middle of research, and I got a lot to get through.
Gillian: Oh, I'm sorry. And I was just going on and on. I'm sorry.
Alex: No, don't you apologize. I want to spend time with you. I miss you so much.
Gillian: Oh, I miss you, too. I'm so glad you're back.
Alex: So we'll make a date later, then.
Gillian: Tonight?

Ryan: I don't like being the last one in on a secret, especially if I'm involved.
Anna: You and Gillian aren't in any danger.
Ryan: What about you? And Dimitri? And Eugenia and Edmund and the kids? If something happens to you --
Anna: Nothing's going to happen.

Stuart: Oh, you're still here. Good.
Anna: Yeah.
Stuart: Good. I found some more paintings by the painter that you liked so much. They're not framed yet, but would you --
Anna: I'd love to. Thank you.
Stuart: Yeah.
Anna: Oh, yeah.

[Telephone rings]

Ryan: Hello.
Gillian: Hello, Mr. Lavery. This is Mrs. Lavery calling.
Ryan: Hello, Mrs. Lavery.
Gillian: Did you get everything set up with Stuart?
Ryan: Yes, I did. I just have to call the client, and then I am yours for the rest of the day.
Gillian: Well, we are going to have to share each other later on.
Ryan: What?
Gillian: I am here with Alex, and she invited us to dinner -- she and Dimitri -- for tonight.
Ryan: What did you say?
Gillian: Alex invited us to dinner tonight with her and Dimitri.
Ryan: And she's there with you right now?
Gillian: Yes, I am.

Leo: Fight, damn it!
Vanessa: Leo!
Leo: Come on!
Vanessa: Leo, you've got to calm down. Sit down. Come on. We've got to stick together now, Darling. You're all I've got left.
Leo: He's not even dead yet.
Vanessa: Darling, I can see how hard this is on you. Why don't you call Greenlee. I mean, you -- you should have someone here.
Leo: Don't even start, Vanessa.
Vanessa: No -- Leo -- if, god forbid, David should die, you're going to need the support of a loved one. And I know Greenlee wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Leo: You mean me and Greenlee's money. It's no wonder why I'm all you have left.
Vanessa: Leo -- Leo -- it's times like this we have to realize what's really important. Come on, you love Greenlee. Greenlee loves you. Why can't you accept the fact that this is a total win-win situation? It is not a scam, Darling. No. We could both be set for life --
Leo: I knew it. Your son is dying, and all you can think about is capitalizing on it. It's no wonder why he's giving up on everything.

Dixie: I should've left you alone. But I didn't. I couldn't. I saw something in you. I know I wasn't making it up. You matter to me. And if you die, you're going to take a part of me with you.

Dixie: David has a heart. I've seen it. I know it. There is good in him, and as long as there is, there's hope. You can't have it. He gave it to me. I've been keeping it for you. You remember you told me that once you find your heart, you wanted me to have it? Well, now I'm giving it back to you because you need it to live.
