ALL MY CHILDREN

APRIL 6, 2000



Erica: Do you realize what you just said?
David: I know exactly what I just said. This relationship is over.
Erica: But you've told me that you love me, and now all of a sudden you don't? No, I'm -- no, I can't believe that.
David: This isn't about me, Erica, or anything that I feel or have said. This is about you.
Erica: David, we can put this whole Paolo mess behind us if you will just stop for a minute --
David: You're right, it is a mess, Erica --
Erica: And listen to what I have to say --
David: But it's not my mess. It is your mess.
Erica: What? I beg your pardon?
David: Look, that embarrassing public display of affection between the two of you down in the dining room was juvenile, ok? And it was also disappointing.
Erica: And the truth is that the great David Hayward is jealous and you hate yourself for it.
David: Oh, you would love to believe that, wouldn't you?
Erica: You couldn't stand seeing me with another man.
David: Oh, please. I'm not concerned about this Paolo character. He's a toy, a puppy that you found to test me.
Erica: Oh. And he couldn't possibly have any feelings for me, is that it? Well, David, Paolo has feelings for me that you couldn't even begin to fathom.

Paolo: Darling, you are more beautiful, more exciting than ever. Take all the time you need dressing. Till later, then.

Palmer: Oh, no, no. No more coffee, please. My teeth are grinding like a cement mixer as it is. Oh, why can't people be on time? Vanessa's late.

[Telephone speed dials]

palmer: No-good son of hers is an absolute -- Martha? Martha, it's me. Has Leo Du Pres been in the office yet? Yes, yes, find him and tell him I want those sales projections in my office by noon. That's today. Martha, when did you last see him in the office? Oh. Leo, you son of a --

Leo: Excuse me. I'm looking for the queen of community service. Oh, there you are.
Becca: Leo, what are you doing here?
Leo: Well, my -- my ladle was getting lonely. And we couldn't stand by idly when there's so much work to do.
Becca: No, why did you really come?
Leo: Well, don't sound so shocked, Becca.
Becca: Oh. Oh, well, fine. I mean, the kitchen is down the hall, and the kids haven't shown up yet. There's not many food fights, but, you know, I think you should get an apron.
Leo: Oh. I knew that I forgot something.
Becca: No, seriously, why did you really show up?
Leo: To see you. It seems like a pretty cool place to hang out.
Becca: Or to lay low. Are you hiding from somebody?
Leo: Becca, I'm -- I'm hiding from everybody.

Edmund: Alex, just take a breath, ok? Just take it easy. Just tell me exactly what happened.
Alex: When I was hugging Karen just now, I suddenly saw myself holding another little girl.
Edmund: Did you know who she was?
Alex: I have a feeling that she was mine. I mean, it wasn't me holding her. I felt that I was watching myself from a distance. And she said, "I love you, mommy."
Edmund: What did you say? Alex: I said, "I love you, too, Robin."
Edmund: You knew her name?
Alex: Oh, Edmund. Tell me I'd remember if I had a child of my own. Tell me I would remember.
Alex: I've managed to cope with everything up until this point. Barely, but I have managed. But then this. I mean, to think that I suddenly -- I could -- I feel or --
Edmund: What?
Alex: That I remember that I'm a mother, for God's sakes.
Edmund: Alex, if you were brainwashed and we're right about that, anything's possible.
Alex: No. You can't forget your own flesh and blood. I mean, I see you with your children. You love them.
Edmund: Alex, we're talking brainwashing, ok? Alex, these guys were very, very good. If it happened to me, I wouldn't know Sam and Maddie from Adam and Eve.
Alex: Don't say that. Please don't say that. I can't believe that. Not if I have a child of my own out there somewhere.

Palmer: Check.
Waiter: Will there be anything else, Mr. Cortlandt?
Palmer: Sure, sure. How would you like a job as my vice president of international affairs? Hell, if you can find me a wife that shows up on time, I'll make you president.

[Telephone speed dials]

Palmer: Martha? Oh, damn. No, no. No, Martha, the next message he gets from me is that he's fired.

Vanessa: Hi, darling. I'm so, so, so, so sorry I am late. Oh, bring me a martini right away, would you, please? What are you having, darling?
Palmer: A fit.
Vanessa: Hurry along. And three olives.
Palmer: Three -- do you have any idea what time it is?
Vanessa: It is too early for a martini? Should I have had a mimosa?
Palmer: Darling, you are late.
Vanessa: Good grief. Men. You will never understand the care and time it takes us to look our best for you. So, tell me it wasn't worth it.
Palmer: Were you engaged in some kind of aerobics before you dashed over here?
Vanessa: Palmer, why do you ask that?
Palmer: Well, you look a little flushed.
Vanessa: Darling, don't you know by now that that is simply the way you affect me?
Palmer: If only I could teach you to be prompt. You know, tardiness seems to run in our family.
Vanessa: Oh, oh, oh, oh --
Palmer: That is your family, not mine.
Vanessa: What is it doing? What is it? What does this mean?
Palmer: Well, your son, my so-called vice president of international affairs, has stopped coming into the office late. He just doesn't come in at all.
Vanessa: You know, really, Leo's a ball of energy. I know he's probably out entertaining clients all over town, darling, or from home. Simply needs a little reminder, you know, to show up.
Palmer: Darling, I'm not interested in holding his hand, I'm really not. Now, if he doesn't show up here groveling by the time you knock back that martini, he's out on his ear.
Leo: Look, I didn't come here
looking for sympathy.
Becca: You came to see a friendly face. So why don't you tell me what's going on.
Leo: Look, I shouldn't even have said anything.
Becca: Well, you did, so, come on, don't make me drag it out of you. You know I will.
Leo: Oh, that sounds promising.
Becca: Leo loves attention.
Leo: Mm-hmm. From you.
Becca: Come on, confess, or I'll put a hair net on you and make you serve lunch to every kid I can find in this place.
Leo: Ok, ok. My mother and I had a difference of opinion.
Becca: You had a fight?
Leo: Well, I took a punch or two, but, you know, they say the best way to solve your troubles is to help other people with theirs, so put me to work, Becca.
Becca: Well, do you want to do some inventory on the linens and towels?
Leo: Oh, could you please not say words like "inventory"? Reminds me too much of working at Cortlandt Electronics.
Becca: Well, you do have a job there.
Leo: So I'm told. You know, they don't make use of my real talents, you know? You know, a funny thing happened to me on the way over here, everybody. You know, I realized that I don't have a real home, either. I'll be here all week. Thank you very much, everybody.

[Becca laughs]

Grace: I see the entertainment has arrived. Trouble is I don't recall booking a comedian for the soup kitchen.

David: Come on, Erica. The idea of you and Paolo sharing anything but a table for lunch is laughable.
Erica: You know, you really need to examine this jealousy of yours. This is very unattractive, David.
David: You're going to play this for all it's worth, aren't you?
Erica: Me? Me? You're the one who saw Paolo with me and you started grunting like a caveman.
David: Oh, please. He's nothing more than a boy toy.
Erica: How would you know? You don't even know him.
David: I know the type.
Erica: Well, he happens to come from one of the very best families in Europe.
David: Oh, well, that's wonderful. Then good for you, Erica.
Erica: What did I do, David? What exactly did I do to deserve this contempt? And if you don't like seeing me enjoying the attentions of other men, then maybe you ought to look to yourself for your shortcomings.
David: Will you grow up? How dare you try to make me jealous. You know how I feel about you, Erica.
Erica: I thought I did.
David: But it's never enough, is it? I told you that I loved you, but you will test it over and over again.
Erica: No, I have been trying to let go, but you've been too busy to even notice, David.
David: You know something? If we were having this conversation six months ago or even after you came back from Europe visiting Bianca, I would have done everything within my power to try to make you feel secure.
Erica: Well, why not now?
David: Well, because I know it wouldn't matter. Look, just go, ok? Go and enjoy your high school dating game with Paolo to your heart's content. I will have no part of it.
Erica: I am not playing any dating game, not with Paolo and not with you. And the reality is Paolo cares for me.
David: Fine.
Erica: He's invited me to visit his family on their private island in the Mediterranean. It's very private. It's very exclusive.
David: Great. Great. Look, don't forget your sun block.
Erica: Losing me is going to be the biggest mistake of your life, David.
David: You going to make me sorry, Erica?
Erica: More than you ever thought possible.

Becca: Leo, this is Grace Keefer.
Leo: Leo Du Pres. I meant no disrespect.
Grace: Mr. Du Pres. Oh, you're not the only new face around here today. But at least Mr. Sword came with a truckload of donated soda. And he stacked the boxes, too. What can we expect from you besides a few jokes?
Leo: Well, I --
Becca: Oh, well, Leo was just saying how he would love to volunteer.
Leo: Actually, I work as an executive at Cortlandt Electronics. I'd be more than happy to cut you a check.
Grace: Money's always good. Two hands are even better. I think I've got just the job for you.
Leo: Well, no, actually, I just came by to see Becca for a minute --
Becca: Oh, no, you heard the boss, Du Pres. You better get moving. Come on.

Tina: Leo wasn't going to raise a finger, was he?
Becca: Are you kidding? This will probably be his last time here. Speaking of which, this is your first time here. Is it your last as well?
Adrian: Well, Mateo usually handles all the donations from S.O.S., But I think I will be doing it from now on.
Becca: Well, great. I mean, it's always good to have friends down here.
Tina: You know, it's too bad more people don't do this. I couldn't imagine not volunteering here and at the shelter.
Becca: Which I still cannot believe that you do, I mean, considering all the time that you spent in shelters. I could understand if this was the last place that you wanted to be.
Tina: You know what? People have the wrong idea about shelters. They're afraid. They think they're full of crazy homeless beggars or something. The truth is that most of the people in there, they just need a hot meal and a safe place to stay. Now, did we get those towels the hospital donated?
Becca: Oh, yeah. I was just going to go get them right now. Ok.
Tina: Ok, thanks.

Adrian: You never talk about the time you spent in a shelter.
Tina: Well, it's not like telling someone where you went to college. But I don't keep it a big secret either. It's just a fact of my life. Not the most important, not the least important. What are you doing?
Adrian: What?
Tina: No, I know that look on your face.
Adrian: Don't even go there. I'm not feeling sorry for you.
Tina: You better not be.

Vanessa: Palmer, you can't fire Leo.
Palmer: Oh, I certainly can, and I most certainly will. I mean, what has he done except waste a corner office with a very nice view, too?
Vanessa: Oh, so put him in a cubicle. I mean, don't make such a big deal out of it. I have personally seen him wining and dining potential clients. You know sometimes it takes months to close those deals, and I shouldn't have to tell you that.
Palmer: Well, that's no excuse for not answering my calls or coming into the office ever. No, it's not the way I run my business, Vanessa. Leo's out.
Vanessa: Palmer?
Palmer: Mm-hmm?
Vanessa: Do you know how much I love you?
Palmer: That sounds like a trick question.
Vanessa: My love runs so deep that you can't even imagine how devastated I was when I discovered that you wanted me eliminated from your life.
Palmer: That was an error of judgment on my part.
Vanessa: Of the worst kind. You know, most people would have to pay for something like that. They would go to jail, lose everything. But, luckily, because of family loyalties, nobody else seems to know about it, and I suppose it's best to keep it that way. What do you think?

Erica: Paolo. We need to talk.
Paolo: Well, I see now how you got so far in life. Erica Kane is all business all the time.
Erica: Only where you're concerned. Let's just go find a quiet table in a corner.
Paolo: Why don't we go upstairs. A little more privacy.
Erica: Upstairs?
Paolo: Upstairs.
Erica: Upstairs where?
Paolo: Upstairs.

Alex: All of the memories that have come back to me pale in comparison to this -- that I could be a mother.
Edmund: Like I said, at this point anything is possible.
Alex: Who is she? I mean, does she know me? Who's the father? Oh, my God. Dimitri. Maybe I was already married when we met.
Edmund: We don't know, ok? Alex, we just don't know.
Alex: Is that the best we can do? I'm a doctor. Life is sacred to me. I mean, how could I possibly bring a life into this world and not remember? Oh, this is torture. Oh.
Edmund: Shh. Listen, we're just going to go to the source. That's it. I'm going to Wales.
Alex: To the hospital?
Edmund: Yes, I'm going to the Bryn Wydd Sanatorium, and I am going to force them to release your medical records.
Alex: Well, I'm coming with you.
Edmund: No, I'm not going to allow you to jeopardize --
Alex: You won't allow me?
Edmund: Terrible choice of words. I'm sorry.
Alex: I don't want you to fight my battles for me.
Edmund: Listen, we don't know what's going on at Bryn Wydd, ok? Now, if they are hiding a truth from you, we don't know what they're going to do, but they're going to stop you from learning the truth.
Alex: I can take care of myself.
Edmund: You can't summon that martial arts training at will. You never know when you're going to throw a punch.
Alex: Well, I may not be able to fight on demand, but I'm sure my skills will surface if I need them.
Edmund: Alex, how do you know?
Alex: I sense it. I feel it. If I had to protect you --
Edmund: Really?
Alex: Yes, really. Ow. What are you doing?
Edmund: You get out of this, I'll save you seat next to me on the plane.
Edmund: I'm waiting.
Alex: What is it you Americans say? "Uncle"?
Alex: I can't use my martial arts right now because I don't want to get away from you badly enough.
Edmund: I almost believe that.
Alex: And I wouldn't want to hurt you -- yet.
Edmund: I appreciate that.

Guy: Hello. Everything ok?
Alex: Hello, Guy.
Edmund: Yes, just fine.
Guy: You looked like you were about to cha-cha.
Alex: Yeah.
Edmund: What's up? What are you doing here?
Guy: X-rays. I was on my way to radiology when I saw you two dancing out here.
Alex: Oh. Are you having trouble breathing? Are you in pain?
Guy: Well, I'm a little more tender than I'd like to be, but --
Edmund: What did the doctors say?
Guy: Nothing yet. I was on my way to radiology when I saw you.
Edmund: Well, I'm on my way to pack.
Guy: Business trip?
Alex: We're both going overseas.
Edmund: We're both going overseas.
Alex: Good-bye, Guy.
Guy: Good-bye. Well, I'll keep everything buttoned down here.

Grace: Now, individual donors get the white insert. Corporate donors --
Grace and Leo: Get the blue ones.
Leo: I got it.
Grace: And every envelope gets a newsletter.
Leo: Ok.
Grace: All right?
Becca: Hey, Leo, what you -- oh, my gosh. Are you working?
Grace: Mr. Du Pres has graciously offered to compile our latest fundraiser packets.
Becca: Oh.
Leo: Yes, all 1,229 of them.
Grace: Oh, would you look at that. Cute and he takes directions, too. Becca, you should have brought him around sooner.
Tina: Leo, do you need some help here?
Leo: Actually, yes. I think there's room for everybody right around the table here. There you go.
Becca: Are you sure you guys are interested?
Adrian: Yeah. Why not?
Tina: It needs to get it done. Thank you.
Leo: Individuals over here. Corporate donors right there. And the newsletters are right there.
Tina: Ok. Thank you.
Leo: Yep. You know, we could use some tunes.
Tina: Yeah, absolutely.
Becca: I think there's a tape over in the boom box.
Leo: Perfect.

[Music plays]

Adrian: Oh. Very nice.
Tina: Leo, get over here. We're getting paper cuts doing your job.
Leo: All right. Anybody thirsty? Where did you put that soda that you brought?
Adrian: It's right in the back.
Leo: All right. I'm taking orders. Becca, what do you need?
Becca: Whatever's fine with me.
Leo: Whatever's fine with you.
Tina: I'm not picky.
Leo: Not picky. And --
Adrian: Who wants to bet that Mr. Du Pres doesn't stuff a single envelope?
Tina: That's a sucker bet.

Becca: I bet he won't even sit down at the table again.
Leo: Here we go. Miss -- there you go -- "whatever's fine with me."
Becca: Oh, thanks.
Leo: Mrs. "I'm not picky."
Tina: Thank you.
Leo: And you get your choice, buddy. Chips. I found them in the back if you guys are hungry.
Adrian: So, Leo, are you going to stuff a single envelope or what?
Leo: Sure. What's the rush?
Tina: Leo, I think we have a new job description for you.
Leo: Yeah, what's that, waiter?
Becca: No, slacker.
Leo: Slacker.
Becca: Mm-hmm.
Leo: Come on.
Becca: No, no --
Leo: Come on.
Becca: I'm sorry.
Leo: Come on.
Becca: I'm not going to -- whoo! Oh, my God! Whoo!
Leo: Too late. That was already my official title.
Adrian: Wow!
Leo: Not to worry, my friend. She's in expert hands.
Adrian: Well, I didn't know we had an expert dancer in the house.
Leo: Yeah, well, you're looking at him. Watch and you might be able to learn something.
Tina: Are you going to let him call you out like that?
Adrian: Of course not. May I have this dance?
Tina: Absolutely.
Becca: Oh, no. I'm sorry. There's not room on this floor for the four of us.
Leo: Watch yourself. Becca here is an expert in the Pigeon Hollow Polka.
Tina: Adrian?
Adrian: Hit it, baby.
Tina: Whoo! Whoo!
Becca: Come on, Leo. Take me for a ride.
Leo: Becca, I would never take you for a ride.
Becca: No? Whoo!
Leo: All right.
Adrian: All right, all right, all right. Look out.

[Song changes]

Singer: Maybe it's intuition but some things you just don't question like in your eyes I see my future in an instant

grace: Excuse me. Mind if I cut in?
Becca: Oh. By all means.

Singer: I know that it might sound more than a little crazy

[Grace hums]

Grace: Thank you for your help, Leo.
Leo: Funny.
Becca: She's good.

Erica: What are you doing?
Paolo: Inviting you in.
Erica: Are you kidding? Everything I have to say to you I can say from right here.
Paolo: I'm not going to bite, Erica.
Erica: Close the door. Ok, I'm going to make this very short and very clear. I have found a use for you after all, Paolo.
Paolo: Oh, imagine my joy. What am I going to do, model? Am I the next Man of Enchantment?
Erica: Hardly. No. Paolo, you are going to be my man.
Paolo: I'm listening.
Erica: We will continue to see each other in public on a purely professional basis.
Paolo: In all the right places, at all the right times, and then the boyfriend gets crazy jealous, right?
Erica: And you're going to be a gentleman.
Paolo: Hmm.
Erica: You'll be solicitous of me in public, and you will attend to my every whim.
Paolo: What do I get for this devotion?
Erica: You get to stay out of jail because if you don't do what I ask when I ask it, then I will turn that tape that I made of you attempting to con me -- I will turn that over directly to the police.
Paolo: A standard blackmail arrangement. Unoriginal, but it could be effective.
Erica: Your job to make sure it's effective.
Paolo: Question.
Erica: Yes?
Paolo: You are stunning and very wealthy, and you could have any man in the world. Why resort to something like this?
Erica: It's none of your business. But I want David to know what he's missing. He has to learn what mistake he made.
Paolo: You don't think he already knows?
Erica: Do we have a deal?
Paolo: I don't have much of a choice, do I? You know, I will, of course, have expenses.
Erica: Spending money. This is for you.
Paolo: Oh.
Erica: This should certainly last you. Don't bother asking for any more. What's that?
Paolo: What?
Erica: I barely left you in the dining room, and you've already been with another woman?
Paolo: How would I possibly have the time, huh?
Erica: Well, either you work very, very fast or you have really terrible taste in lipstick.
Erica: What, are you sleeping your way through the Valley Inn?
Paolo: I'm flattered. You jealous?
Erica: Don't be ridiculous. I'm protecting my investment. You work for me, Paolo. And I will not stand for any extracurricular activities.
Paolo: The lipstick is yours, Erica. It's from when I kissed you in the dining room.
Erica: Paolo, I own the most exclusive cosmetics company in the world. My lips don't smear. And besides, I would never wear anything so garish, so cheap.
Paolo: Of course not. Your flawless face is Enchantment's best advertisement. You know, I have been meaning to ask you -- why hire all these models when your beauty says it all?
Erica: Oh, stop it. Will you please stop it? Stop conning me?
Paolo: Look, I'm sorry. It's an old handkerchief, Erica. I'll have it cleaned.
Erica: I'm going to say this and that's going to be it. You are mine. You are not to be seen with any other women. Do you understand?
Paolo: I look forward to it.
Erica: I won't be made a fool of. So unless you want to be crushed, you will play by my rules.

Leo: Grace, do you mind if I do some of this at home? I got another appointment I have to get to.
Grace: Well, as long as all of that material gets out by the 10th, it's fine by me.
Grace: Becca, can we put the music away? The pastor is dropping by for a visit this afternoon, and I'm not sure he would appreciate you heathens doing a conga line through the community center.
Adrian: Oh, come on, Grace. Any preacher worth his cloth wants to see his flock raising up their voices, making little joyful noise.

[Music stops]

Adrian: Or not.

[Pager beeps]

Adrian: Oh. That's S.O.S. Got to get back to work.
Grace: Don't we all. Thank you for your donation, Mr. Sword.
Adrian: So, I'll see you at the club?
Tina: Save me a dance?
Adrian: Mm-hmm. Need a ride, Leo?
Leo: Yeah. Will you give me a minute?
Adrian: All right.

Leo: Whoa. I never expected to have so much fun.
Becca: Have you ever been inside a community center before today?
Leo: No, just a soup kitchen. Another first that you've introduced me to. You know, I could -- almost like this place felt like I was home or something. That's weird.
Becca: Well, I have to write this down in my date book that I saw the birth of a volunteer.
Leo: Is that what happened?
Becca: I guess you were just doing what came naturally.
Leo: Here. Hold that for a minute for me. Ok. I'll see you later?

[Knock on door]

Alex: Hi.
I'm just finishing packing.
Edmund: I'd still prefer it if you stayed here.
Alex: Well, you're stuck with me whether you like it or not.
Edmund: I never said I wouldn't like it.
Alex: Why don't you want me to come with you?
Edmund: Because it's dangerous.
Alex: I know. I've been saying that.
Edmund: I know, but now this warning that we got on the computer put everything in a new light. Do you mind?
Alex: No. We're never going to find out who sent that message.
Edmund: Doesn't change the fact that it's still dangerous. I would never forgive myself if I allowed anything to happen to you.
Alex: Oh, you really like that word, don't you -- "allow"?
Edmund: I feel responsible for you.
Alex: I know you do. I told you, I can take care of myself.
Edmund: Fine. You get first dibs on any bad guy we meet, ok? Bust his head open if it makes you feel better. Ok. One last e-mail to Dr. Griffith at Bryn Wydd. Done.
Alex: Telling him that we're coming.
Edmund: Yeah, and we're not leaving until we get some answers.
Alex: Good.
Alex: Get the lights?

[Key turns in lock]

Tina: So?
Becca: "So" what?
Tina: So, what's up with you and a certain tall, blond, handsome leather-wearing hunk?
Becca: Leo?
Tina: Oh, don't even try it. Your curls practically went straight when you were dancing with him. And Adrian noticed, too.
Becca: You guys are tripping.
Tina: Oh. That's what you say. I say different.
Becca: Leo and I, we're just, you know, working on a project.
Tina: A science project? An anatomy project?
Becca: No.
Tina: Whatever.
Becca: What about you and Adrian?
Tina: Oh, don't even try to turn this around on me.
Becca: Oh, well, you didn't mind him turning you around on the dance floor dancing all close. I saw it.
Tina: Well, so were you and Leo.
Becca: You better tell me about Adrian, or I'm just going to let my imagination run wild.
Tina: Well, Adrian and I -- there's nothing going on. We're just working on a little project.
Becca: So bad. Ok. I'm going to see you later, ok?
Tina: Ok. Bye.
Becca: Bye.

Palmer: Yes, I think we understand each other, Vanessa. Leo can keep his job.
Vanessa: Well, that -- that does make it much easier, doesn't it?
Palmer: Yes. Had I been thinking with a clearer mind, I would never have tried to, you know --
Vanessa: Well, that's all behind us now, darling.
Palmer: Yes. Yes, it is, until, of course, you try to hold it over my head again.
Vanessa: Palmer, do you really think I enjoy doing that?
Palmer: Well, just don't try to play your trump card too often. It just doesn't, you know -- it wears out after a while.
Vanessa: Palmer, I really do love you with all my heart, and all I want is for you and I, both of us, to be happy together.
Palmer: Speak of the devil. You. Where have you been? I was just about to fire you, but your mother talked me out of it.
Vanessa: You can thank me later, dear. But I did assure Palmer that you were -- well, you're going to be far more dedicated to your position at Cortlandt Electronics from now on and you will do exactly what they tell you to do. Yes, darling?
Leo: And if I don't?
Vanessa: Oh, don't be ridiculous, Leo. Leo, I think you owe Palmer an apology for your past behavior on the job, dear.
Leo: Palmer -- ahem -- I'm sorry that my mother forced you to keep me in a position that I don't even want.
Vanessa: Leo!
David: Well, at least he's honest.
Leo: Well, let me save you a lot of trouble. I quit.

Erica: So you may not have a choice, but you still haven't said -- do we have a deal?
Paolo: From now on, our arrangement is exclusive.
[Italian accent] Paolo and Erica.
Erica: Oh, no, please. No, no. This Casanova routine of yours -- this is very exhausting. Don't touch me. Don't ever touch me unless David is in the vicinity to see. Understand? All right, then. Here's your money.
Paolo: [Normal voice] generous.
Erica: See that you earn it.

Guy: "Dr. Griffith, please be advised that Dr. Marick and I will be in Lampeter tomorrow to personally follow up on our conversation. Will contact you upon our arrival. Edmund: Damn. It's me. Did you get the e-mail message? Yes. I'm on the next flight to Cardiff.

Computerized voice: Edmund, do not come to Wales. Danger is everywhere here. Stay away. Stay away.

>> On the next "All My Children"

Tad: What's wrong?
Marian: I really hate to see you in cahoots with my daughter. That's what's wrong.

Amanda: I brought you a surprise.
Hayley: Animal, vegetable, or mineral?
Mateo: That would be animal.

Palmer: That's it, all of you. What have I married into?
