Hayley: You know, if somebody asked me why I loved you, I could give them a million reasons. But seeing you standing here in your bathrobe, stirring the oatmeal and then eating off the spoon and then putting it back in the pot -- it's taken my love for you to a whole new level.

[Doorbell rings]

Hayley: Why is that doorbell ringing?
Mateo: I didn't hear anything let's just ignore it, ok?

[Ring]

Hayley: I don't think we can.
Mateo: Oh, come on.
[Ring]

Mateo: All right, I'll get it.
Hayley: If it's my mother, slam the door hard in her face.

[Ring]

Mateo: Tina.
Tina: Mateo.
Mateo: Hayley.
Tina: Oh, God. I'm just so interrupting.
Mateo: No, come on in. You're bearing gifts. We can't turn you away.
Tina: You guys are in a great mood.
Hayley: You, my dear, have a keen eye for the obvious.
Tina: This is for you. I grew it myself for you.
Hayley: Oh, Tina. That's so nice.
Tina: From cuttings.
Hayley: Oh, thank you. God, what if I kill it?
Mateo: If?
Hayley: Be nice.
Tina: Here, I ran into the mailman.
Hayley: Oh, you know what? You should hit him up for a raise. He's very vulnerable when he's in a bathrobe.
Mateo: Listen to you. Listen to you.
Hayley: Oh.
Mateo: What's wrong?
Hayley: I don't believe this.
Mateo: Is it about Trevor?
Hayley: She really is trying to kill me, isn't she?

Arlene: Hey, Janet, I'm going to the market. You want me to get anything?
Janet: Actually, yes. Thanks. We're a little low on milk, paper towels, and --
Arlene: Oh, darn it.
Janet: What?
Arlene: I just thought I had a little more money than I do. But who doesn't these days?
Janet: I've got some cash.
Arlene: Well, could you spot me a little? I mean, just until I get my severance check from the carpet mill. No, promise. It's coming.
Janet: Well, I hope so, for your sake. But I wouldn't expect you to pay for groceries when you're living in your own brother's house.
Arlene: You're a sweetheart, Janet. Is there anything else I can get you?
Janet: No, thanks. Actually, the change is for you. A little something to hold you over till you get that check.
Arlene: Well, that's sweet of you.
Janet: Sure.

Arlene: Ooh, just enough for my favorite Russian premium.
Arlene: And maybe a little cabernet for when I'm feeling rosy.

Computer: Abort the search. Proceed no further.
Edmund: What the hell?
Alex: What is that?
Jack: Oh, are you two telling me you have no idea who might have done this warning thing?
Edmund: It's not traceable. At least not by me.
Jack: What about you, Alex? Do you know anything about computers and why -- Alex?
Edmund: Alex, what is it?
Alex: That voice.
Edmund: What about it?
Alex: I don't know. I don't know, exactly.
Edmund: Listen to me. Somebody from your past doesn't want you to find out about it.
Jack: Well, that's obvious. The question is, who?
Guy: What's going on?

Liza: Wait one second. Wait.
Tad: What?
Liza: Just wait one second.
Tad: What?
Liza: You can't go soft on me in there. The board of Chandler Enterprises needs to believe that you hate me.
Tad: Yeah, well, just remember, they need to believe that you hate me, too.
Liza: Not a problem.
Tad: Liza, we can do this, right?
Liza: We can do it. Do you have the videotape?
Tad: Yeah, it's in my briefcase.
Liza: Ok. And you're going to be really forceful.
Tad: I'm not forceful?
Liza: No, you are forceful. I just want you to really sell it.
Tad: Liza, calm down. We've got them.
Liza: Ok.
Tad: Ok?

Woman: Yes?
Tad: I'm Tad Martin. I called this meeting.
Woman: We've been waiting for you.
Tad: I take it you're all staring at me because you know who I am.
Man: Actually, we're staring at you because we can't believe your nerve.
Tad: You will when I've finished. You know what I do for a living. I expose the truth.
Woman: What in the name of heaven --
Tad: That's exactly what I'm going to do. And then I'm going to sue Adam Chandler, this company, and each and every one of you. Are there any questions?
Man: You're darned straight there are questions here.
Tad: You're too late, Liza. You can't stop me.
Liza: The hell I can't. You have no rights here.
Tad: I have every right. I'm going to end your little charade.
Liza: How dare you try and defame my husband.
Man: What the devil --
Tad: Because it's the truth, and you know it. You've all known it. Adam Chandler's been mentally unstable for months.
Liza: Tad!
Tad: What would you call it? First the man has me arrested, accusing me of somehow stealing his entire fortune, and then completely reverses himself.
Liza: That was because of me. I asked him to drop the charges. Tad: I understand you're trying to defend your husband, but this is pathetic and dangerous.
Liza: I've asked him to set aside his animosity so my daughter doesn't grow up in the shadow of this scandal.
Tad: Liza, you can't make excuses for him forever. I'm going to sue your husband and everybody in this room for standing by while your psychotic CEO. Tried to ruin my reputation, destroy my career, and humiliate my family, not to mention threaten my life.
Liza: Let it go, Tad.
Tad: Let it go? You're crazier than he is. Do you people really want a man capable of murder running your company?
Liza: Murder?
Tad: Yes, murder. He tried to kill me in that cell.
Man: Oh, what --
Liza: You are not seriously going to try and prove that, are you?
Tad: I won't have to. This will.
Woman: It's a tape.

Adam: You animal!
Tad: The all-powerful power broker has completely popped.
Adam: Turn it off. Turn it off! Turn it off!
Tad: Get off me, you moron! This is Tad Martin for "Nothing But The Truth." Not the face!

Man: Oh, boy, that's got to hurt.

Edmund: Last time I checked, Guy, I own this joint.
Guy: No disrespect, Mr. Grey, it's just you look kind of worried.
Jack: Well, we're working on some Andrassy Foundation business. It can be quite worrisome.
Edmund: Guy, didn't you just leave?
Guy: I did, but I needed to see Alex.
Alex: Is something wrong?
Guy: No, just the opposite. I don't mean to intrude here, but Scorpio took the bit without a shudder, and I know you like to keep up to date on the horses.
Alex: Yeah, but do you need me now?
Guy: Well, if you want.
Edmund: Look, why don't you go with Guy, ok? Jack and I will take care of this foundation thing.
Jack: Thanks for your input, by the way.
Alex: What is happening?
Edmund: We'll get to the bottom of it, ok? I promise. Ok?
Alex: Bye, Jackson.
Jack: See you later. Nice to meet you.

Edmund: Nothing.
Jack: Hope you're not surprised. I mean, anybody that would go to this much trouble to keep the truth from her --
Edmund: Let's call Adrian. Maybe he knows somebody that can, you know, program this sort of a thing. I don't get it, Jack. I mean, a verbal message to stay out of it?
Jack: You're right. Let's go see Adrian. Maybe he can call in a favor from the agency.

Hayley: "It's clear that a mother's love for her daughter fueled this passion to save her from the ravages of alcoholism. Ms. Vaughan's life was in pieces when her mother found her. 'My little girl couldn't face one more bad thing happening to her, not after finding out that the man she thought was her husband wasn't quite free of his first wife or that he was already a daddy.'" What in -- ugh!
Tina: How could your mother tell a reporter those things, Hayley?
Hayley: Because she is psychotic and she wants to destroy me. Mateo?
Mateo: She's dead to me. Dead! I'm going to kill your mother!
Hayley: No, I'm going to kill her first. You're going to have to take a number. You know, it's never enough for her.

[Telephone rings]

Hayley: She's never destroyed me enough where she satisfies her -- hello?
Man: Hayley? It's John Vincent.
Hayley: John, hi.
Mateo: Oh, no. Here it goes.
Tina: Who's John?
Mateo: He's the head honcho at the affiliate. He sells her show nationally.
Hayley: What can I do for you, John?
John: I've seen "The Sun," Hayley. Do you know the national wire services picked it up?
Hayley: I'm so sorry, John. My mother doesn't understand.
John: Do you understand? There's a morals clause in your contract.
Hayley: What does this have to do with my morals?
John: Hayley, you are the host of a styles show for young women. There's a responsibility.
Hayley: I'm sober, John.
John: And now the whole world knows it.
Hayley: Look, I'll just -- I'll have my mother make them print a retraction.
John: Of what? The truth?
Hayley: The only thing that's true in that entire article is that I'm in a 12-step program. The rest of it is all lies, and I just need a little bit of time here to fix this. I will -- I will take care of this. I will -- I'll clean this up, ok? Yeah, ok. Ok. Yeah, thank you, John.
How could she do this to me? How could she do this to me?
Mateo: I don't know. I mean, why does your mother do anything she does?
Hayley: How could she do this to me?
Mateo: Where you going?
Hayley: I'm going to take care of this woman once and for all.
Mateo: Just give me five minutes. I'll get dressed. We'll go together, ok?
Hayley: No. I have to take care of this by myself.
Tina: Man, Hayley, what are you going to do to your mother?
Hayley: I am going to put her out of my misery.

Arlene: Oh, hey, kiddo. You know what? I'm feeling flush. How about I get the fixings for your daddy's special chocolate chip oatmeal cookies?
Amanda: That would be great.
Arlene: Yeah? You think?
Amanda: Mm-hmm.
Arlene: You want to help me? You know what? When I was a kid, I used to help Trevor. And he was such a pig. He'd eat all the batter, and then he'd get this horrible tummy ache. I was always surprised if three cookies got into the oven.
Amanda: I'm really glad you're here.
Arlene: I'm really glad I am here.
Amanda: It's just I feel so much closer to my dad when you tell me old stories about him.
Arlene: I'm here for you. I always will be.
Janet: Amanda. What are you doing home from school at this hour?
Amanda: Half-day. Teacher conferences, Mommy.
Janet: I don't remember anything about that.
Amanda: I told you. I put my necklace here last night. Did you move it?
Janet: Well, I didn't want it to get lost. And I didn't want you to have it if it wasn't paid for.
Amanda: Daddy bought it for me.
Janet: Sweetheart, I went down to The Lost Pearl. I talked to the woman. I paid for it. She understood once I explained.
Amanda: How could you do this?
Janet: Honey, we talked about this.
Amanda: Daddy bought this for me, though.
Janet: Sweetheart, you're upset. You miss him, so you took it.
Amanda: He paid for it, then he gave it to me.
Janet: Honey, I need you to understand something. I want you to know how important the truth is, especially between us. I don't care about the necklace. I'm not mad. I care about you. I want you to know how important honesty is.
Amanda: My daddy gave me this necklace, and that is the truth.
Amanda: I know why Daddy went away.
Janet: Amanda, listen to me.
Amanda: He wanted to get away from you. You're so mean, and you don't believe anything I say.
Janet: You can't talk to me in that tone of voice.
Amanda: I just did.
Janet: Sweetheart, please.
Amanda: Don't touch me. You don't love me.
Janet: That is not true. Of course I love you.
Amanda: You don't love me, and you think I'm a liar and that I steal things. And if Daddy finds out about this, he'll be so mad. And I hate you!
Janet: Oh, Amanda.

Arlene: Janet, leave her alone. She needs some time.
Janet: You don't understand.
Arlene: Do you know how many times Hayley talked to me like that?
Janet: I know exactly what she's going through. I know how she feels. She's so upset, she doesn't know what's real and what isn't. I've been through it. And when you get that way -- when you get that out there, that lost, you do things that you can never take back. And it eats you up inside. And you feel utterly and completely alone. And you think that no one can help you, that all you've got is yourself. And you're not enough. She's my baby. I can't stand to see her suffer like this.
Arlene: Like what? Like the way you did? Janet, look at you. What exactly do you think Amanda's going through guy: Well, I'm not going to push you to talk about what seems wrong.

Alex: Oh, it's family business.
Guy: Yeah, and you're from a big family. I can understand that. Well, that makes me all the gladder I brought you down here, because I think what I'm going to show you might make you forget about your troubles a little bit.
Alex: All right. What is it I've got to see?
Guy: I broke him.
Alex: Scorpio?
Guy: I rode him for the first time this morning.
Alex: No. That's amazing.
Guy: Yeah. He's an amazing animal.
Alex: Oh, my -- I can't believe how quick you work.
Guy: No, actually, I think it was you.
Alex: I haven't even been on him.
Guy: Well, I think it's the time you spent with him, getting him used to your commands, your voice. Want to try your luck?
Alex: Yeah, I really do. You think I can handle him?
Guy: Oh, I think you can handle him. Besides, I'll stay in the ring.
Alex: Ok, good.
Guy: All right? I took the liberty of --
Alex: My saddle's on him already?
Guy: Yeah. I didn't think you'd be able to resist.
Alex: You know me too well.

Tad: Try and talk your way around that one.
Liza: Adam was under a tremendous amount of pressure.
Tad: And I wasn't? I'd been arrested, scandalized, without the possibility of explaining myself. You don't see me lunging at anybody's throat.
Liza: Why are you trying to ruin my husband?
Tad: Because he tried to ruin me. The man tried to kill me.
Liza: You provoked him.
Woman: I don't know what it is that you want as to --
Tad: I want justice.
Liza: What justice?
Tad: That tape's going on my show.
Man: Oh, boy.
Woman: You're going to out that on "Nothing But The Truth"?
Tad: Lead segment. And after it airs, I trust your precious stock will take another nosedive.
Liza: I won't let you.
Tad: You can't stop me.
Liza: I own the station, Tad. I will stop you from airing it.
Tad: You do, and I'll have it on every other news broadcast and talk show within a week, which means more satisfaction and money for me.
Liza: Tad, I am begging you. I am begging you not to do this to my husband, not to do this to the other people whose lives could be ruined.
Tad: Adam's never given a damn about the people's lives he's ruined. It's time for him to face the consequences of what he's done.
Liza: Face it? How can he face it?
Tad: What, you're afraid it'll send him over the edge?
Liza: What edge? Adam has already lost his mind.
Man: Mrs. Chandler.
Woman: Lost his mind?
Liza: Oh, my God. No, no.
Tad: I knew it.
Liza: I didn't mean it.
Tad: He's certifiable, isn't he?
Liza: No. No.
Tad: Yes, he is, and you're covering for him.
Liza: He's my husband.
Tad: He's a squirrel.
Liza: I'm begging you -- I am begging you, please, to have some compassion and human dignity for a man who -- who once seemed invincible.
Woman: "Once seemed invincible," Mrs. Chandler?
Liza: It breaks my heart that a man that I love and that I respect is in such a state of --
Tad: Insanity? Is this really who you want signing off on all your million-dollar deals, ladies and gentlemen?
Liza: Please, we have to help him. We have to protect him. He made this company what it is. Doesn't that count for something?
Woman: Does it count for something? Is he really crazy? Do you think he is?
Man: Well, he's close enough.
Woman: Mr. Martin, the board has asked me to ask you what it will take for you to keep that videotape from ever reaching the airwaves.
Tad: Full public disclosure of everything, including what he did to my brother, Jake.
Man: You mean that was true?
Liza: Yes. Adam purchased the fertility clinic that I was going to, and he switched the sperm samples so that --
Tad: He could father her child.
Woman: This is unbelievable. Criminal.
Liza: Sometimes he cracks. He doesn't think, and he is confused that he's his twin brother.
Tad: Oh, for God's sake. The man's delusional. He's got no morals. Is this really who you want steering the ship?

Barry: What in the world -- Liza, what are you doing here? And you, Martin, with the board of Chandler Enterprises?
Liza: Barry, this is none of your concern.
Barry: The hell it isn't. I'm Adam Chandler's chief counsel. Do you have any --
Tad: As Adam Chandler's chief counsel, you'll want to know what's going on.
Barry: Yes, I would. I'd like --
Tad: And considering how busy you're going to be for the next few months, you deserve it.
Barry: Listen, I have business in here, and I would like very much --
Tad: No, you're not going in there.
Barry: What in the hell -- what the hell are you doing? Martin, come here!

Guy: Oh, Alex. If I had thought --
Alex: No, no, I'm fine. It's really my damn fault.
Guy: I thought we had that horse more in hand.
Alex: No, please don't blame him.
Guy: Now, are you sure you only twisted your ankle? You didn't hit your head when he threw you?
Alex: No, I'm fine. Wait, you're the one that was kicked. Are you all right?
Guy: No, I'm all right. Here, let me take a look at your ankle, see if it's swelled up any.
Alex: You know what? It's not. Really, I have had enough bad sprains in my time to know --
Guy: Well, so have I, so let me take a look and see. If something happened, maybe I can do something.
Alex: Ooh -- ah -- OK. It's not that bad.
Tina: Mateo, if I had just gone through the mail before I brought it in, everything would be ok.
Mateo: Oh, come on. She would have seen it anyway. Don't blame yourself.
Tina: No, I just -- I feel so bad. It must be so hard having a mother like that. You know what? It almost makes not having one not seem so bad.
Mateo: You see? She inspires those feelings in people. I mean, she's a horror show.
Tina: That night at S.O.S. At your engagement party when she was hanging all over Adrian -- that was just gross. God, I felt sorry for her then, too.
Mateo: Yeah?
Tina: Yeah.
Mateo: You were a little angry at Mr. Sword, weren't you?
Tina: Yeah, a little bit.
Mateo: Yeah. Did you guys make up?
Tina: Well, once I saw through Arlene, I mean, how could I blame Adrian for all of that?
Mateo: She is prey transparent, huh?
Tina: What are you going to do?
Mateo: I'm going to make her disappear if it kills me.
Tina: How?
Mateo: I'm working on it.

Janet: I know how it feels to be afraid, and I can't bear for Amanda to feel that way.
Arlene: Ok.
Janet: I'm going to call the school and make sure there were teacher conferences today.
Arlene: Can I help?
Janet: You can't. But thanks anyway.

Arlene: Hayley.
Hayley: Going somewhere, Arlene? Follow-up interview, maybe? Or were you going to hop on a train to New York so you could go on "The View" and tell the rest of the world about my addiction? You want to tell me what the hell you think you were doing?
Arlene: Oh, well, Sweetie, this is out of context.
Hayley: Oh, you lying snake in the grass. When Mateo and I walked in here and you were sitting with those reporters, you tried to convince us that you were trying to protect Janet and Amanda because the reporters wanted to know all about Uncle Trevor.
Arlene: Yeah, well, Sweetie -- you see, the thing was --
Hayley: I'll tell you what I see. I see the most manipulative, self-involved, hateful monster any person could ever be cursed with. You are sick, Arlene, and destructive and disgusting, and I want you out of my life and out of this house and out of this town today.
Arlene: Would you just wait a minute? I have --
Hayley: Now, Arlene! I mean now.
Arlene: Hayley, you can't order me around like this.
Hayley: Oh, watch me. You think I don't know what you're up to here, Arlene? Really. I mean, you think Janet doesn't know?
Arlene: Know what?
Hayley: Oh, you flounce into town proclaiming that you're sober, and then you get drunk publicly at my engagement party, all the while proclaiming that you're not drinking while you turn to the press and you tell them I'm a drunk. The press, a reporter?
Arlene: Sweetie, this is a terrible misunderstanding. That's all it is.
Hayley: This is a terrible joke Arlene, is what it is, because you're drinking, you're lying about it, and you broke my anonymity. Do you know how serious that is? Do you even care?
Arlene: Everything I do for you I do out of love.
Hayley: Love? Love? You can't stand to see anyone happy, least of all me. And you can't stand to see anyone, anyone at all, have something you think you should have because you are poisoned by this disgusting sense of entitlement.
Arlene: You know --
Hayley: You are unable to give to or care about anyone else in this world.
Arlene: That's not true. If you would just listen for a second to see how I've changed --
Hayley: You're an abomination, Arlene, to yourself and to me and Mateo and Janet and Amanda.
Arlene: You are crossing a boundary line here.
Hayley: Lady, you wouldn't know a boundary line if it crawled up and bit you on the drunk rear end. You cross them all day long with everybody. You wouldn't think twice about taking someone's secrets and selling them if it meant that you could spin it into your own little story to work to your advantage. That you've got down to a science.
Arlene: No.
Hayley: Anything. Anything at all to get yourself a little bit of attention. Do you know that I could lose my show, my job? Do you even care?
Arlene: Would you just listen to me for a second?
Hayley: Listen to what? Your lies? Your pathetic lies and you blaming everything on the bottle?
Arlene: All right. I'll call the reporters. I'll insist on a retraction. I'll have them say that they misquoted me, all right?
Hayley: Yes, you will. And then I'm going to go upstairs with you and watch you pack and leave town. And don't bother to call me and tell me where you're going or when you got there because I don't care. I don't care anything about you or your miserable life.
Arlene: You don't mean that, Sweetie. I'm your mother, no matter what has happened between us.
Hayley: You have never been a mother to me.
Arlene: You can be so cruel.
Hayley: You know, I'm not even on the same level as you with that one.
Arlene: You don't mean this. You can't.
Hayley: I do. I mean every word. Do you know why? Because I hate you. I hate you and every little sickening thing that you are.

[Barry and Tad yell]

Liza: Please don't come down too hard on Adam. It would devastate him to be confronted by all of you, not to mention what would happen to the company.
Woman: We can't coddle an incompetent CEO.
Man: We're in the middle of a nasty stock correction.
Woman: That's right.
Liza: Yes, I understand. I just am hoping that you won't take legal action against Adam. This is all he has. And the negative publicity would kill him, not to mention what would happen to Chandler Enterprises.
[Door opens]

Liza: Did you discuss everything with Barry?
Tad: As best I could. So what is it? Is Adam being ousted or not?
Liza: No. That's not the answer, Tad.
Tad: It's over, Liza. The truth is out there.
Liza: I understand that. But I think we can save Adam. And I think we can save this company if you would just believe in me for a minute to do something unusual for the sake of all of us.

Edmund: Well, Jack, at least we've got somebody now who knows a little bit more about computers working on it.
Jack: Yeah, quite a bit more, and he seemed pretty eager to help. That's good. Edmund, I got to say, it seems like you're taking all this just a little bit personally.
Edmund: How else should I take it? This came on my phone line in my home, Jack.
Jack: Yeah, ok. That's true enough, I guess.
Edmund: You got a point, Jack? Why don't you make it.
Jack: Ok. Don't really know how to say it exactly, but --
Edmund: What?
Jack: Seems to me like maybe you're a little bit overly concerned about Alex.
Edmund: She's my sister-in-law, ok?
Jack: Yeah.
Edmund: And Dimitri asked me to look out for her. And she's being gas lighted from God knows where by some -- she doesn't remember her past, ok? Somebody doesn't want her to remember her past. Don't you think -- wouldn't you be concerned, Jack?
Jack: Fact, Edmund, I am.
Edmund: Ok, great. All right, all right. So if you got a point, just come on, tell me, all right?
Jack: My point is that I don't want to see you lose your objectivity in all this. That's all.
Edmund: Jack, she's in danger, ok, from something that I can't see. And I can't put my -- I don't want to let my brother down, ok? She's -- I don't want to lose her, too, ok? She's all I have left. Hey, listen, I got to tell her that Adrian is on it, ok? Maybe it'll make her feel better. See you later.
Jack: See you later.

Guy: How does it feel?
Alex: Yeah, it feels better. It really does. You're very good at that.
Guy: You want to know why?
Alex: Mm-hmm.
Guy: Because I spend all day rubbing the sore legs of horses. It's the same concept. In fact, I have some of the same tricks.

Alex: Horse liniment? Guy: Yeah. So, what do you think, Doc? Safe for woman and beast?
Alex: You know what? I think I'll pass. But thanks.
Guy: No?
Alex: I'm just going to try it out a bit.
Guy: Hey, whoa. Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa.
Alex: You are hurt.
Guy: I'll be sore in the morning, but, you know, I may try a little bit of this myself, actually.
Alex: Let me take a look at it. It's the least I can do.
Guy: Oh, Alex, Alex --
Alex: No, you could have a broken rib. You're going to need an X-ray.
Guy: What are you doing?
Alex: I'm a doctor.
Guy: All right.
Alex: I want to take a look. I want to see if your rib is bruised.
Guy: Owww. Ohhhh.
Alex: You are bruised. Ok, you tell me where it's tender, please.
Guy: Ok.
Alex: Here?
Guy: Yeah.

Edmund: Ahem.
Alex: Oh. Hi. We both got beaten up by Scorpio.
Edmund: You let her get on Scorpio?
Alex: Yeah, guy rode him this morning. I mean, the horse is broken.
Edmund: Oh, really? Looks like the other way around to me.
Alex: Oh. It's not that bad.
Edmund: Well, you're limping, and he's obviously quite tender.
Alex: Well, guy got kicked, and I've just twisted my ankle. It's nothing.
Edmund: Ok. You sure that's all?
Guy: I tried to keep her off her feet there, but --
Alex: He carried me in, actually.
Edmund: Oh, did you, now?
Guy: Yeah. It was a scary fall, but it probably looked worse than it was.
Alex: Yeah, it rea
ly was.
Guy: Ok. Alex: You know what? I think you've broken your rib. You need an X-ray.
Guy: Oh, Alex --
Alex: I'm going to bandage you. I'm going to go and get my bag, and I don't want any arguments, ok? I'll be right back.

Guy: Oh, well. I guess I'm not going to argue with her.
Edmund: What the hell are you trying to pull here?

Arlene: Don't say things you can't take back, Hayley.
Hayley: I'm not going to take any of this back. Don't you get it, Arlene? I'm not some scared little kid just looking for a mother to mother her anymore.
Arlene: That's why I'm here -- so I can make up for lost time for -- to --
Hayley: To destroy me.
Arlene: No. No.
Hayley: I won't let you destroy me, Arlene. I have a life. I have everything I have ever wanted. I just -- I can never have a mother. And although you've given birth to me, if it's one thing I've realized, it's that any animal can give birth. But it takes a human being to be a mother.
Arlene: Why are you saying these things to me?
Hayley: Shut up and get out, please. I don't want to see you anymore for the rest of my life.
Arlene: You really mean this, don't you?
Hayley: Yes.
Arlene: But you're getting married.
Hayley: All the more reason for you to leave town now.
Arlene: But I have to be here for your wedding, Hayley.
Hayley: I want you to listen to me very carefully. I will run away and elope. I will cancel the wedding of my dreams if it means that you can't be here to ruin it for me. Is that clear enough for you, Arlene? Am I drawing you a clear enough picture? Is it finally starting to sink in? You're nothing to me. Nothing.

Janet: Amanda?
. Hayley: What's the matter?
Janet: I can't find Amanda. She's not I her room.
Hayley: Oh, you mean she's here? She's not at school?
Janet: Right. She came home early. They had a half-day. But her books are here, but she's not, and her backpack is gone. Did you see her? Did she say anything?
Arlene: No, no. I haven't seen her since you were here when she went upstairs.
Janet: Oh, my God. Where could she be?

Amanda: I promise I'll be good. Just don't make me stay here. I want to go away with you. Please, Daddy. Please. Please, Daddy? Please?

Liza: What I'm about to suggest may be too extreme.
Man: Please, Mrs. Chandler. If you have an idea, we'd be pleased to listen.
Liza: Ok. I have power of attorney privileges for Adam, which I assume technically means that I could be an acting CEO. In Adam's name, which could possibly avert negative publicity and do damage control for some of the shareholders. And I could encourage Adam to get the help that he so desperately needs.
Liza: Do you think that maybe that would work?



On the next "All My Children"

Edmund: Let's talk about you and Alex.
Alex: Is there a problem?

Arlene: You know why this happened, don't you? You scared the daylights out of her.

Tad: I put the nail in Adam's coffin.
Liza: Yes, you did, and I'm going to drive it home.
