ALL MY CHILDREN

APRIL 27, 2000



Alex: When can I pick them up? I'm staying across the border in Bristol. Yeah no, that will be fine. Thank you. Ok. Good-bye.
Edmund: Where are we going?
Alex: Bryn Wydd. Dr. Griffith. He's got my medical records, finally.
Edmund: You don't sound too excited.
Alex: Oh, I know. I should, I suppose.
Edmund: Why?
Alex: Well, it means our time here is ending.
Edmund: Sounds a little ominous to me.
Alex: I don't know what's next.
Edmund: Neither do I. But I -- I like what's been happening, and I'd like to see it continue. I hope you feel the same way.
Alex: Part of me does.
Edmund: Part of you does? It's all of you or nothing, Alex. What part of you needs convincing?

Mateo: Hey.
Hayley: Hey.
Mateo: Hi.
Hayley: Honey. Sweetie. Hi.
Mateo: How are you?
Hayley: I'm glad you're here. Come in.
Mateo: Hey, we're supposed to be in the dining room, no?
Hayley: I know. In a second. Feel this. Pure silk. It's pure silk.
Mateo: Wow.
Hayley: Uh-huh.
Mateo: This is great. You know, listen, I know better than to interrupt while you're having a fashion moment, but I'm really hungry, you know.
Hayley: Yeah, I'll be right there.
Mateo: Right. Right, but you're kind of late already and --
Hayley: Well, I got sidetracked, so I told the maitre d' to send you up here.
Mateo: Aren't you supposed to be interviewing some designer dude?
Hayley: Yeah, he had some big emergency in New York, so he left all of these fabulous samples for me to rummage through.
Mateo: Yeah.
Hayley: Look at this. Tell me something. Are you ready?
Mateo: Yeah.
Hayley: Is this gorgeous or what?
Mateo: Yeah. I mean, why do women always ask that? It's beautiful, yeah.
Hayley: Because. It's sort of like, you know, we like to watch you pretend to be interested. You know, like when I ask you who won the game.
Mateo: You know, considering I'm only interested if you're wearing the clothes, why don't we go get something to eat then, you know?
Hayley: I'll ask you again. Is this not delicious?
Mateo: Oh.
Hayley: Oh.
Mateo: Yeah. Yeah, I could get used to you wearing that.
Hayley: You know, "Wave" is doing a full week of wedding shows.
Mateo: Yeah, you told me.
Hayley: Yeah, and we've got these really great original bridal dresses. This one designer in particular -- this guy is hoping to get some exposure for his wedding line --
Mateo: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exposure's really good, yeah.
Hayley: What kind of exposure?
Mateo: Um -- why don't you go try that on.
Hayley: I thought you were hungry.
Mateo: I am. Try it on.

[Tires screech]

Esther: Bad dream? You want to talk about it?
Stuart: I can't remember what happened.
Esther: It's ok. You're safe with me.
Stuart: Why can't I remember? I can't get my brain to do what I want it to.
Esther: Well, you had an accident, but you're going to be fine if you rest. Could you go back to sleep?
Stuart: Will you be here when I wake up?
Esther: You bet. And if you're hungry, we could have some macaroni and cheese.
Stuart: That sounds good.
Esther: It's one of your favorites.
Stuart: Something to look forward to.
Esther: It's a good thing I came along when I did.

Man: Fine-looking woman you had, buddy. I wonder if she knows you're dead.

Marian: Liza, any news?
Liza: No, not yet. Not yet. Let me call you back.
Marian: I've called all over town. No one's heard from him. No one's even seen him walking down the street.
Liza: Mother, I thought you were going to stay at the gatehouse just in case Stuart came home.
Scott: Liza, Marian just wanted to feel useful. We all did.
Marian: We can't just sit there waiting. We've got to do something about finding him.
Liza: Well, we are.
Marian: Liza, he's been missing for over two days. I mean, how is it possible the police have found out nothing yet?
Tad: They've got every available man on the case.
Marian: Well, that's not enough.
Liza: Well, Derek is using every single resource he has.
Marian: Well, he's got to do more, Liza. He's simply got to do more.
Tad: Marian, they'll find something. They will.
Marian: I know what you've got to do, Liza. You've got to put me on TV.
Liza: On TV?
Marian: Yes, we've got to make an appeal to someone who may know where he is.
Liza: Ok. Mother --
Scott: Look, someone's got to have seen Stuart. I mean, a flyer, something.
Liza: Right. That's assuming --
Marian: Liza, don't. Whatever it is you were going to say, I don't want to hear it. Stuart's out there, and we've got to let the world know that we want him to come back home.
Tad: It's not a bad idea. I mean, "Nothing But The Truth" goes -- it airs in 20 minutes.
Marian: Liza, don't tell me you have to stop and think about this.
Liza: Eli. Yeah. "Nothing But The Truth" is going to go live in 20 minutes. Tad's on his way. He's going to explain to you all the changes.
Marian: Oh, thank you, Liza. Thank you.
Liza: Look, mother, you don't have to thank me. I want you to find Stuart just as much as you do.
Marian: No, I don't think that's possible.
Tad: Come on, sweetheart. Let's get you set up.
Marian: Thank you, Tad.

[Intercom buzzes]

Scott: Let's go check out the cabin again.
Becca: You think he made it there by now?
Scott: It's worth a shot, ok? Liza, we're going to go over to the cabin.
Liza: Ok, call me if you need anything.
Scott: Ok.

Liza: Barry, no, not yet. But what I want you to do is go down to accounting, authorize $100,000 for a reward for any information leading to the safe return of Stuart Chandler. You got that?
Adam: Make it a million.

Myrtle: So you found old Doc Pendergast's Bible in Port Charles? Oh, darling, I knew you would. Well, now you got some answers.
Rae: Not enough, unfortunately. The pages that I needed -- they were torn out.
Myrtle: Oh, no. Oh, darling, I'm sorry. I was so sure this was the end of your search and you'd find out who had adopted your daughter.
Rae: Yeah, well, so did Daniel. It seems he got to the Bible before me, and he left me a little note all tucked inside. He also told me that I had to get back to Llanview.
Myrtle: Are you going?
Rae: Yes.
Yes, I've already booked my flight. Listen, I'll call you when I get there, ok?
Myrtle: Yeah. Yeah, of course, darling. Call me anytime. And keep the faith.
Rae: I'm trying, Mama. I'm trying.

Liza: Barry, I'll call you back.
Adam.
Adam: I'll skip the explanation of how I got out of Oak Haven. My concern is Stuart. Are there any leads?
Liza: Not yet.
Adam: The police are out in force?
Liza: Yes. Derek has every man on the streets. They just started looking, however.
Adam: Dear God, Liza. I begged you to spring me from that nut house so I could start looking for him. You've cost me valuable time.
Liza: Don't you dare turn this on . If you hadn't tried to destroy his marriage, none of this would have happened. If you hadn't lied to him, he wouldn't have taken off the way he did.
Adam: All right, all right. All right. I won't argue with you. But please believe me when I tell you that I know Stuart is in trouble. Serious trouble.
Liza: What are you doing here?
Adam: I can feel it like breathing.
Liza: But what do you want?
Adam: I want -- I -- I need help. If I don't find Stuart soon or some indication that he's all right, I really am going to lose my mind.

,I. Stuart: Well, you can't have a birthday party without a present.
Esther: What is it?
Stuart: Well, open it and see.
Esther: Moonlight At Willow Lake.
Stuart: Do you like it?
Esther: Oh, I can't accept it. It's -- it's too beautiful.
Stuart: Good. It's yours.

Esther: That was the first birthday party I ever had. My first cake, the first time I could ever blow out the candles, my first wish, first dance.
Esther: Like Cinderella. You were my prince. The prince I always wanted. And still do.

[Knock on door]

Esther: I was just on my way to see you.
Stuart: Well, I guess I saved you the trip. When did you get back?
Esther: Come in. I drove all night so I'd be here when I said I was going to be.
Stuart: When you said you were going to be?
Esther: Yeah, in my last letter.
Stuart: You wrote me?
Esther: Sure. All the time I was there. I mean, every week. Sometimes more. I counted 14 in all. Didn't you read them?
Stuart: I didn't get them.
Esther, I didn't think you were coming back.
Esther: But I said that I would. I mean, as soon as my sister felt good enough to stay by herself. I mean, you know, I was coming as soon as I could. What's the matter?
Stuart: Esther, I never thought I was going to see you again.
Esther: But I'm here now, Stuart.
Stuart: I -- I made a new friend.
Esther: Really? Is he nice? I mean, you know, maybe we could --
Stuart: Her name is Marian. Marian Colby. I didn't think you were coming back.
Esther: Well, you could have written to me and asked me.
Stuart: I did.
Esther: You wrote me?
Stuart: All the time.
Esther: I didn't get any letters. This isn't fair.
Stuart: No, it isn't. It's terrible.
Esther: Marian. Does she make you happy?
Stuart: Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're happy. We laugh a lot.
Esther: You like her.
Stuart: I do.
Esther: More than me. Stuart: Oh, Esther, you are one of the sweetest people I've ever met in my life. You're one of the best friends I've had ever. I just -- it feels -- it's different between Marian and me.
Esther: I understand.
Stuart: Do you really? Oh, thank you. Thanks. We got to have you over for dinner. I want you to meet Marian. I think you're going to like her a lot.
Esther: Sure.
Stuart: Yeah, well, I'll ask Marian and check with her and get back to you.
Esther: You know where I am.
Stuart: Esther? I'm sorry.
Esther: That's life. What are you going to do about it?

Esther: What was I thinking of wishing for somebody like you?

Scott: You know, my dad could be here, but there's a lot of places that he likes to go painting.
Becca: Well, we'll go check them out. Don't get discouraged, ok?
Scott: No, I'm not. Do you smell that?
Becca: Scott, look. There's smoke coming out of there.
Scott: Oh, my --
Becca: Stuart!
Scott: Dad!
Becca: Mr. Chandler!
Scott: Dad!

Alex: A few more days, I'd have you trained perfectly -- scones, clotted cream, tea, no coffee.
Edmund: Don't count on it. You know, you've shown me a side of life that I could get used to. A new life. Tell me something. Some of the doubts that you're having, are they connected to thinking about Dimitri?
Alex: Oh, I always think about him.
Edmund: So do I. So do I. So, what do you think? Do you think he would imagine this for you?
Alex: I hope you're asking yourself the same questions.
Edmund: About Dimitri?
Alex: About Maria.
Edmund: I sense her blessing. And believe me, it's a first. So, what do you think my brother would think of us?
Alex: Well, you know, he was pretty wise.
Edmund: Mm-hmm.
Alex: And in the end, he knew that the only thing that was really important was how well you loved.
Edmund: And were loved in return.
Alex: You know, when I first met him, he didn't think he was going to live. And he asked me why I wasn't married or I didn't have someone special in my life. I told him to mind his own business.
Edmund: And the courtship began.
Alex: Yeah. But he was right, you know? I mean, he said that I had no sparkle in my eyes. I really didn't know how to live my life.
Edmund: You feeling the same way now?
Alex: You know I don't.
Edmund: You're scared about what could happen to us.
Alex: I'd be a fool if I said I weren't. I don't want to be. I don't want to hold back.
Edmund: You don't have to.
Alex: This doesn't frighten you?
Edmund: I didn't say that. I just -- I've been lucky enough to be loved more intensely than I ever thought possible.
Alex: You think it's possible for it to happen again?
Edmund: Yes, I do.
Alex: For both of us?
Edmund: For both of us.

Becca: Mr. Chandler!
Scott: Why isn't he answering?
Becca: I don't know.
Scott: I've got the keys.
Becca: Ok, good, good.
Scott: Dad!
Becca: Hey, hey -- food is still warm.
Scott: He must have just been here.
Becca: I know. Scott -- look.
Scott: My dad's watch. It's the one Marian gave him for Christmas. Dad! Dad, it's Scott! Dad?
Becca: Scott, the back door -- it's open.
Scott: What's going on? I mean, did he just take off?
Becca: I don't know. Where could he be?
Scott: I'm going to go find him.
Becca: We'll split up?
Scott: No, stay here in case he comes back. Keep this watch. That's proof that he's been here. He's ok.
Becca: Thank God for that.

Marian: Excuse me.
Tad: Marian? Are you sure you can do this?
Marian: Look, Stuart is out there somewhere, Tad. I know it. And something must have happened to him, otherwise he'd be home by now. I truly believe somebody must have seen him. Someone must know where he is.
Tad: Just remember, on the show, it's better if you keep things simple and to the point.
Marian: Ok. Fine. Thank you.
Tad: We'll bring him home. Have a seat here.

Liza: Come on, Adam. Who better to make an on-air appeal than my mother?
Adam: Marian will have no impact whatsoever.
Liza: I know you don't respect her, but she is Stuart's wife. And if anyone can make a difference, I believe she can.

Eli: And five, four, three, two --

Tad: Hello and welcome to "Nothing But The Truth." We are coming to you live today with a very important developing story here in Pine Valley. We're also coming to you with an appeal because time is of the essence. This man is Stuart Chandler. He's a celebrated artist locally here in Pine Valley. He's been missing now for 48 hours. If you or anybody you know has any information regarding the whereabouts of Mr. Chandler, please, we beg you, contact your local authorities, the Pine Valley police department, or this station, WRCW. Also joining us today is Stuart's wife, Marian, who has asked to make a statement.

Esther: It's her. She's Stuart's wife?

Marian: And we just want Stuart home safely.
Tad: Marian, why don't you tell us what you know, if anything, about Stuart's disappearance.
Marian: Well, it's very unusual for Stuart just to disappear. But recently he had a terrible shock. He had an awful fight with his twin brother. Tad: Adam Chandler.
Marian: Yes. And after that fight, Stuart just disappeared. I'm sure he was on his way home. Something must have happened to him. And we haven't seen him since.
Tad: And that's unusual?
Marian: It's highly unusual because even though we're both very busy people, we talk to each other several times a day. So if anyone out there has seen him or knows something about him, would you please contact the authorities right away?
Tad: And remember, WRCW is also fielding telephone calls, so if you have any information, feel free to call us at 555-0100. Once again, that's 555-0100. Or you can contact the Pine Valley police department --

Esther: You married her?

Tad: And direct all inquiries to Det. Derek Frye.

Mateo: Your designer buddy's not going to come back here, is he?
Hayley: Now you ask?
Mateo: You walk in out of the bathroom in that beautiful outfit -- I lost my mind. I forgot where I was.
Hayley: What would you have done if he walked in?
Mateo: I don't know. I doubt I would have noticed. Body parts were flying. I have no idea.
Hayley: You like me in silk, huh?
Mateo: I like you happy. But, yeah, the silk was a nice touch.
Hayley: How come you always know the exact right thing to say?
Mateo: You inspire me.
Hayley: You are good. Really good. You know how incredibly special you make me feel?
Mateo: That's my job. You're my life.
Hayley: Sent here on earth to make me happy?
Mateo: Give you everything you ever wanted.
Hayley: You have. Thank you for loving me.
Mateo: You know, I want to talk to you about something now.
Hayley: Hmm.
Mateo: I was thinking, you know, about our last visit to the doctor and, you know, how he gave us the go-ahead to --
Hayley: Baby?
Mateo: Yeah. I know we're getting married soon, but, I mean, it's never a perfect time. I'm sick of waiting for the perfect time to do things, waiting for the right situation, you know?
Hayley: I mean, who knows when that's going to happen?
Mateo: Well, we can know, you know? It's our time.
Hayley: Yeah, no more, like, you know, shuffling around what life deals us and all.
Mateo: And, you know, I've been thinking about this a lot. I think we should try as much as possible because I think it's smart to get -- you know, to start early because you never know. It's kind of hard to get pregnant. We should, you know, practice a lot.
Hayley: Yeah.
Mateo: Yeah.
Hayley: Yeah, you're going to like trying, aren't you?
Mateo: Yeah, I love trying. I really do.
Hayley: Guess what. You think it's going to be all sunlight and roses. Once we are pregnant, you think all you're going to have to do is sit around and wait for a baby Santos to pop out? Think again.
Mateo: I know.
Hayley: It's going to be a lot of work.
Mateo: I know. I mean, whatever it is, I'm just tired of dreaming about the life we want to have together. I want to start living it.
Hayley: You know something? You're the dream of every beautiful thing I never knew existed until I met you.
Mateo: You're good. I feel the same way about you.
Hayley: There would only be one thing better.
Mateo: Hmm?
Hayley: And that would be if he had your eyes.
Mateo: Or if she has your smile.
Hayley: You want a little girl?
Mateo: I just want a healthy baby.
Hayley: In that case, I hope she's lucky enough to marry a man just like her daddy.

Alex: Well, it's not going to be easy, though, you and me.
Edmund: I'm not looking for easy. You trying to scare me, Alex?
Alex: Maybe.
Edmund: It's not going to work. Cut it out.
Alex: I don't want to. But, you know, but we didn't meet under the best circumstances.
Edmund: I'll tell you what -- when we get back to the states, I'll take you out dancing, bring you flowers, and I'll give you as much tradition as you can handle.
Alex: I don't even know what movies you like.
Edmund: Oh, you're in for a great time. I'm full of opinions on that.
Alex: I bet you are. There are serious things, too, though.
Edmund: Which we can take one issue at a time. Alex, we can make this as simple or as complicated as we like.
Alex: Yeah. Yeah. No, that's very reasonable.
Edmund: And one more thing. I will always respect the time that you spent with my brother. I promise. Let me get ready to go to Bryn Wydd, ok?
Alex: Mm-hmm.
Edmund: Be back.

Alex: Oh, Dimitri. Is this right? I mean, I think he's what I want.

Edmund: Alex, we have a problem.
Alex: What is it? The car?
Edmund: No, there's footprints under the window. Someone's watching us.
Alex: My mother has a gardener, you know.
Edmund: Alex, we were warned coming to Wales was dangerous.
Alex: We don't know who sent those computer messages.
Edmund: It doesn't matter. They were right. Now, we are obviously under some kind of surveillance.
Alex: By someone clumsy enough to leave his footprints under the window. I don't think we should overreact.
Edmund: Alex, listen to me. I would rather be a little bit paranoid when it comes to your safety than ignore evidence that we can't explain. I think you should go back.
Alex: What, to the states?
Edmund: Yeah. I'll take care of Bryn Wydd and Dr. Griffith.
Alex: He has my records.
Edmund: Yeah, which he wasn't going to give to you until I threatened him with a hatchet job by my magazine.
Alex: I'm not leaving.
Edmund: All right, Alex, I'll fly back with you, ok? And then I'll come back here and I'll deal with Bryn Wydd by myself.
Alex: That does not make any sense. We're much too close.
Edmund: That's the problem. Somebody doesn't want us much too close.
Alex: But the housekeeper, the woman who called me Anna -- I need to speak to her myself, personally.
Edmund: Alex, what is it going to take for you to see the danger that you're in?
Alex: More than some footprints in the mud. Listen, I need to find out who I am. If I don't, I'm no good to either of us.
Edmund: Get your coat. We'll go together.

Marian: We're all very worried about you, Stuart. And also, Amanda and Petey and Jamie and Junior are supposed to have their art class --

Esther: Marian's your wife?

Marian: What are we going to tell them?

Esther: But you were just friends before. I thought maybe when I came back, you'd want to be with me.

Marian: Stuart, if you're watching this, could you please come home? I know you're terribly upset, but you don't have to go through this alone. You know, you and I can get through anything together. You know that. So please -- would you please come home as soon as possible?

Adam: Good lord, Liza. Your mother's making a spectacle of herself.
Liza: Be quiet.
Adam: She's talking like an idiot.
Liza: I don't think our audience thinks so.
Adam: Well, then they must be idiots, too.
Liza: Adam --
Adam: That caterwauling isn't going to get us anywhere.
Liza: What --

Adam: Here, Marian. I'll talk to Stuart.
Tad: Adam?
Marian: Adam, what are you doing here? Get out of here.
Tad: I'm sure that many of our guests will recognize multimillionaire industrialist Adam Chandler --
Adam: I'm Stuart's brother, Adam.
Tad: Yeah, I think we pretty much covered that part. I certainly didn't expect to have you as a guest on today's show.
Adam: Stuart listens to me.
Marian: Would you just leave? You're going to lose him forever for all of us.
Adam: Stuart, I realize that this has been a terrible misunderstanding. I think it's the worst disagreement --
Marian: "Disagreement"? Are you out of your mind, Adam?
Adam: Do you -- does your mouth ever stop moving?
Tad: Ahem.
Adam: Please, Stuart, I'm begging you, come home. Wherever you are, please come home. I am sorrier than I've ever been.
Marian: You should be because you're a despicable human being.
Adam: Coming from a tramp like you, that's high praise.
Marian: You --
Tad: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take a deep breath, all right? Everybody, let's just calm down here, all right? We do not throw chairs or punches on this show.
Marian: Oh, that's too bad.
Tad: And we're all here for the same reason.
Marian: Stuart, I know you found out that Adam tried to make it look like I was unfaithful to you --
Adam: Have you no shame?
Marian: And I know that was unspeakable. It was totally unforgivable --

Esther: Goodness!

Marian: Don't worry. If you come home, we're going to move far away. We won't live near Adam ever again.
Adam: No, no, no. You think so?
Marian: Oh, I know so. We should have moved away from you a long time ago, Adam.
Adam: You'll never get Stuart away from me.
Tad: As I stated, our goal is to bring Mr. Chandler home, so if anybody --
Marian: Stuart doesn't need you. You need him for his heart and his compassion.
Tad: Has any information --
Adam: The bond that Stuart and I share is something that you could never, never understand in your wildest dreams.
Tad: The number is --
Adam: Why don't you accept that?
Marian: And you take advantage of that bond, don't you? You hide behind it every time you try to hurt Stuart.
Adam: Me? You're a bed-hopping drunk!
Marian: You liar!
Tad: Marian, stop it!
Liza: Mother, stop it! Stop it!
Marian: Let go of me! You filthy pig! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!
Tad: "Nothing But The Truth" will be --
Liza: Right back.
Tad: Back in a moment.

Esther: These people are so angry. What have they done to you, Stuart?

Marian: Oh, my God. That was appalling.
Adam: You think I was going to sit there and let you continue that emotional striptease?
Liza: Well, I hope you're happy because the entire nation s now seen your worst side.
Marian: Any hope we ever had of getting Stuart back is gone now.
Liza: Tad, we've got to have something to come to when we come back from commercial.
Tad: Fine, fine.
Marian: I don't care how much you say you love your brother, you don't deserve to have Stuart in your life, Adam.
Adam: You keep dreaming. You keep dreaming. When I get Stuart back, I'll never let him go again.
Liza: All right, all right, enough. Not another word. Not another word.
Eli, would you take my mother to my office? Let her collect her thoughts. Everything's going to be fine.
Marian: At least we tried.
Liza: Yes, we did. We did. Eli, please. Thank you. Everything's going to be fine.

Tad: Everything's all right. We're coming back to a taped segment.
Liza: Well, it'll seem tame after Adam's rabid fest.
Adam: Oh, fine. Fine. First, you skewer me for not caring enough about Stuart, and now -- and now you blame me for being passionate about finding him.
Tad: We're blaming you for driving him off again. How did you get out of the cracker barrel, anyway?

Scott: I think we might have found my father.
Liza: What?
Adam: Where? Where is he? Is he all right?
Becca: Well, we didn't actually see him.
Scott: But we found his watch, and there was smoke coming out of the chimney at the cabin.
Becca: Yeah, there was food on the fire, and it was still warm.
Adam: Where is he?
Scott: Well, we must have just missed him. I mean, the back door of the cabin was open. I went outside, shouted his name. I couldn't find him. After I searched the area, we waited for him. He didn't turn up.
Adam: I wished you would have phoned me. Did you leave a note telling him that we're looking for him?
Becca: Well, we thought maybe he just doesn't want to be found yet.
Adam: Oh, nonsense.
Scott: Look, he left all his stuff there. He's got to come back eventually, right?
Adam: He's alive.
Scott: Marian? Where's Marian? I got to tell her.
Liza: No, no, no. Don't say anything to her until we have definites. Please.
Tad: Listen, listen --
Liza: What?
Tad: We're on tape. Why don't I drive you up to the cabin?
Liza: That would be great. Scott, could you take my mother home?
Scott: Sure, sure, yeah.
Liza: Thanks.
Becca: Hey, I'll go with you.
Scott: Could you wait here and watch the phones? Call me at the gatehouse if anything happens.
Becca: Ok.

Adam: You two can stay put. I'm going up to the cabin. Stuart and I will work this out together.
Liza: No, no, no, no. Wait a second. Stuart doesn't want to be found. Don't ambush him at the cabin alone, just you.
Adam: Liza, we both want the same thing. Why are you continually fighting me on this?
Liza: Because you are the last person that Stuart wants to see.

Hayley: Let's not tell anyone we're trying yet. The last thing I want is people asking me if we're pregnant. "Heard from the stork lately?"
Mateo: Listen, listen, as far as I'm concerned, we don't have to tell anybody until I'm pushing that stroller, ok?
Hayley: I got to call Liza and see if Stuart made it home yet.
Mateo: Ok, all right. You know, maybe we have some time for a quick bite because I'm still hungry, you know?
Hayley: Oh. Did I make you hungry?
Mateo: You know, before I was hungry, now I'm famished.
Hayley: Well, we better feed you.
Mateo: Yeah.
Hayley: Got to keep your strength up. You're going to need it.
Mateo: Ok, come on.
Hayley: Do you think Stuart's home? Do you think he's really --
Mateo: Baby, he's fine. He's fine. Can we just -- can we just go eat, please?
Mateo: I'm hungry.
Hayley: Ok. That stomach of yours is a bottomless pit. I don't know how you manage to look so good.
Mateo: Well, I know this little exercise that I keep on doing that keeps the weight off. You know what I'm saying?
Hayley: Wait until our wedding night.
Mateo: I'm counting the seconds. Can we eat now? Come on. Grab your stuff, grab your stuff, grab your stuff. Come on, come on. They're having a special. It's fish. It's really good. I've been craving fish.

Esther: You poor thing. I knew your brother was scary, but I didn't know he was that bad. And your wife, Marian -- she's -- she's very loud. You see why I don't leave my trailer? People are so mean. They don't deserve you, Stuart. You' better off with me.

Adam: No one is stopping me from going to that cabin.
Liza: Would you please listen just for once? We're trying to help you.
Adam: By keeping me from finding Stuart?
Tad: He doesn't want to be found by you.
Adam: You don't know what you're talking about. My brother and I have a bond that you could never understand.
Liza: I'm not so sure you can count on that anymore, Adam.
Adam: Rubbish.
Liza: Ok, wait. He's going to go whether we like it or not.
Tad: No.
Adam: You got that right.
Liza: All right, fine. Fine. We will drive you. We will go with you. Would you please keep an eye on him? Please? I'll just clear things up with Eli.

Tad: Why the hell can't you do everybody a favor? Let her take the lead on this. Stuart takes one look at you, he's going to take off for the state line.
Adam: Oh, yeah. Whose fault is that? Who couldn't keep his big mouth shut, saying things to break people's hearts?
Tad: I didn't break your brother's heart, Adam, you did.
Adam: Oh, fine. Well, you maintain the moral high ground, Martin. But I'm telling you, if I don't find him safe and secure, I'm holding you responsible. And you're going to answer to me for it.
