ALL MY CHILDREN

AUGUST 1, 2000



Becca: Thank you. Ew. Will you move this? This doesn't go with this chair at all. Thank you. Hayley! Oh, my gosh, Hayley. Thank goodness you're here. Everything is just --
Hayley: That was enthusiastic. What, are the troops restless?
Becca: Troops? No, no, no, what troops? I'm temping because half your crew is out with the flu. The day is falling apart, and --
Hayley: But wait. There's more.
Becca: What happened to your --
Hayley: Pink eye. Give me the rundown. What's going on?
Becca: Rundown, ok. So we have no guest, and we haven't heard from her.
Hayley: Ugh. That's not good.
Becca: No.
Hayley: We'd better get an emergency guest. It would help if we had a cameraman around here. Scotty!
Becca: No, Scott, he went on a remote, like, a half an hour ago. He's supposed to be here by now. I haven't seen Greenlee. I haven't seen Leo.
Hayley: What's the name of our tardy guest?
Becca: Oh. It is Dr. Andrea Turcott, the author of "How To Tell If Someone Is Lying."

[Hayley laughs]

Hayley: What kind of story you think she'll make up to get out of being late? I bet she tells us a big, fat whopper
Becca: Wait. You really think that she's going to show up?
Hayley: She's got a book she wants to promote, doesn't she?
Becca: How can you be so calm in all this chaos?
Hayley: Yeah, well, you know, I spent yesterday at my mom and dad's armpit bar. And if I can survive that, I can survive anything. Well, well, well. Here's Greenlee. She's not missing. Just fashionably late.

Greenlee: You prissy little weasel!
Hayley: Excuse me?

[Hayley gasps]

Becca: What!
Man: Ladies --
Hayley: Are you out of your mind? Knock it off now! Stop it! Stop it now!

Tina: There you go. If you really like that sauce, you should definitely come in on Fridays. Our special is chicken mole.
Man: Place my order now.
Tina: Ok. I'll be right back.
You see that guy over there? He loves our chicken mole sauce.
Mateo: Oh, yeah? Uh -- go in the back room and call the cops. I'll keep him busy.
Tina: Why? What's going on?
Mateo: Look at is -- it's counterfeit.
Tina: Arnold? But he comes in here all the time.
Mateo: I know, I know. He beat us last week with a phony bill.
Tina: I'm -- I'm sorry. I should've caught this.
Mateo: He's chatting you up, you don't tend to look for phony currency. Now, go call, please.
Tina: No, wait. It'll be easier for me to keep him occupied. You call the cops.
Mateo: I'm not leaving you alone with that guy. Tina: Wait!
If you go over there, he'll know something is up for sure. I can handle this.
Mateo: All right. But if he tries to leave, just let him go. It's not worth getting hurt over, all right?

Tina: Have you seen our new dinner menu?
Arnold: I'll look at it later. Where's my change?
Tina: Mateo just had to go in the back and get some 20s. While we're waiting, why don't you tell me what you're doing when I get off of work later?

[Knock on door]

Gillian: Hello.
Adrian: Ryan's not here, Gillian. He's at the downtown offices meeting with some of his big financial backers, soaking up some of that venture capital.
Gillian: I didn't come here to talk to Ryan, Adrian.
Adrian: Then what are you doing here, Gillian?
Gillian: I wanted to talk to you. First to apologize. Finding out about me and Ryan, I know that's made you uncomfortable.
Adrian: Don't worry about me. You just think about how your husband's going to feel when he gets home.
Gillian: You said "when." Does that mean you think he's safe in Chechnya, that he's ok, that he's not a prisoner or maybe --
Adrian: I don't know, Gillian.
Gillian: Adrian, please. You've been over there. You've seen the situation. You saw where his helicopter went down. Just tell me. Please tell me. What did you see? Mountains, villages, anything. Do you think he could've walked into some safety?
Adrian: He's in a field, Gillian, all right? There was no cover.
Gillian: Just show me. Just show me on this map, please.
Adrian: Why are you asking me all these questions?
Gillian: Because I have to know.
Adrian: What, all of a sudden Jake's well-being is important to you?
Gillian: What does that mean, Adrian? You don't think I care about my husband?

Brooke: You haven't been honest about yourself? Eliot, that sounds like a line in a werewolf movie right before the full moon comes sailing through the clouds. Look, it -- it's no big deal.
Eliot: Horror movie. Interesting analogy.
Brooke: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make light of it. I -- I didn't realize.
Eliot: No. You couldn't. I don't suppose that there's an easy way to say this.
Brooke: Eliot -- you know, before you plunge in, just -- just let me say something. I'm very flattered that you want to confide in me. I just don't want us to get ahead of ourselves.

[Eliot sighs]

Eliot: Brooke -- I ha to tell you this. Do you remember when your friend Jackson Montgomery said that he thought that he recognized me from somewhere before, maybe Statesville prison? Well, he -- he was right, but not in the way that he thinks. I told him that -- that -- that I'd been a chaplain there.
Brooke: Right.
Eliot: Well, I did some ministering with the inmates, but, actually, I -- I was assistant to the chaplain there. I mean -- the truth is that I was a prisoner there, serving time on a felony charge.
Brooke: You? I see. Um -- well, you know, I'm -- I'm sure that you're not the first prisoner to be tapped on the shoulder by god. Saul of Tarsus had a rap sheet.
Eliot: I'm not Saul.
Brooke: Ok. But you started this. So, are you going to tell me what you were in prison for?

[Becca screams]

Hayley: Stop!
Greenlee: Pull that Shirley Temple mop right out of your head!
Becca: Get off of me!
Hayley: Are you crazy?
Man: Come on, come on. Cut it out, cut it out.
Becca: You want to fight?
Man: Calm down.
Becca: Get off of me!
Man: Come on --
Greenlee: You big phony!
Man: Oh!
Hayley: Stop it! Becca! Stop it!
Leo: Break it up!
Hayley: Settle down!
Man: Careful, careful.
Hayley: Right now! Now! I don't care who started it or why! We have a show to tape on this set in 30 minutes! So whatever's going on between you, you get it settled and put it behind you! I hear one more peep out of either one of you, so help me, you will be escorted from this sound stage and you won't be welcome back! Capisce? Cal, where are my eye drops?

Becca: Huh.
[Greenlee screams]

Becca: Hmm. That was fun.
Greenlee: You are such a hypocrite.
Becca: What is your problem, Greenlee?
Greenlee: Always acting so virtuous and considerate, and then you stab me in the back with Leo.
Becca: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Greenlee: Leo hates me because you told him that I made up that ridiculous web site.
Becca: I did what?
Greenlee: Like I have anything better to do. Your sex life interests me about as much as my grandmother's Yorkshire Terrier.
Becca: Oh, my. You're talking about Virgin Victor?
Greenlee: Whatever, Becca. Hold on to your precious virginity or sleep with every guy in town. I really don't give a damn.
Becca: Wait, Greenlee -- Greenlee, wait! It wasn't you I accused of making that web site. It was Leo I accused.

Gillian: I know what you must think of me, Adrian.
Adrian: Huh. Oh, if you did, I doubt you'd be trying to talk to me.
Gillian: Look, I understand how you feel, but please don't misjudge me.
Adrian: Oh. Is that what I've been doing, Gillian?
Gillian: About Jake? Yes. I care deeply about my husband, and don't you doubt that.
Adrian: Oh, how in the world could I ever question your loyalty?
Gillian: Ok, fine. I -- I guess I deserve that. But I can't stand the fact not knowing where my husband is, if he's being kept prisoner or something.
Adrian: What, you want to bring him home so you can shoot him down personally?
Gillian: Adrian, just stop it! I care as much about my husband as anybody. Now, please -- please, just show me. Show me on this map. Show me where he crashed. I have to know.
Adrian: You know what?
Gillian, believe me when I tell you this -- I hate like hell being all up in your business, but I wish I didn't know what was going on between you and Ryan. Fine. You want to know where his chopper went down? Right there.
Gillian: Ok, but look -- there are towns. There are towns close by. I mean, they're only a few miles away. That means he could've walked in any direction and somebody could've found him.
Adrian: Yeah. It is possible.
Gillian: And -- and see right here -- this is the main route going into and out of this area, so -- so, maybe -- maybe he could've walked and -- and a truck or something could've picked him up and taken him to safety.
Adrian: Gillian, if that were true, don't you think I would've heard about it by now? The truth is I don't know where Jake is. And I don't think it does either one of us any good to start speculating.
Gillian: It just gives me hope.
Adrian: Ok, Gillian. I'm going to level with you. And I haven't mentioned a word of this to Ruth or Joe. But you know what concerns me so much about when I was over there searching for Jake? Not only weren't there any sightings of him, there were no rumors, no crazy stories, and usually there are. Because the locals over there, they want food, they want money, they want some type of reward. The point is they swamp you with all of these crazy stories, and all you can hope for is that in one of them there's a kernel of truth.
Gillian: None of that happened?
Adrian: No. And I can't quite figure out why. It's unusual, Gillian.

Tina: Ok, no dancing. but maybe we could go to the boardwalk. The amusement park down at Sea City?
Arnold: No. No, Tina, no. Those spinning rides make me want to puke.
Tina: Well, we could go for a ride. What kind of car do you drive?
Arnold: My car's in the shop. Where is that bartender?
Tina: He'll be right back.
Arnold: How long does it take to get a few 20s?
Tina: You know, Mateo's always having a problem with the combination on the safe. Let me get you a drink. Ok? On the house.
Arnold: No. No, I got to get back to work. I'll swing back and pick up my change later, all right?
Tina: Later? Wait. Listen, just chill for a minute.
Arnold: If you want to keep flashing that smile at your customers, you will get out of my way right now.
Tina: No can do.
Arnold: You've been warned. I do not like being messed --
Mateo: Hey!

[Customers gasp]

Mateo: It's ok.
Tina: Oh, my God --
Mateo: Everything's ok.
Tina: I am -- I am so impressed. If you ever get tired of running this joint, you could be a boxer.
Mateo: You kidding? That hurt like hell. Guys, drinks are on the house, all right?
Tina: Oh.
Mateo: Ah --
Tina: That's why bartenders keep Billy clubs under the sink --
Mateo: Ok, ok, ok.
Tina: So they don't have to mess up their hands teaching some jerk a lesson.

Mateo: Yeah -- his head hit my hand really hard and -- here's the paper. As you can see, the color's good, but the line is -- the stripe's off.
Officer: I think we'll wait till he comes to and then read him his rights. Come on. Time for a little truth and consequences.

Mateo: You know, I swore that I told you if he wanted to go to let him go.
Tina: Sorry. My instincts, they just took over.
Mateo: You're something else. Is there anything you're afraid of?
Tina: Yes.
Mateo: What?
Tina: Feelings.
Mateo: Feelings. For anyone in particular?
Tina: Feelings for Adrian.

Gillian: Adrian was just filling me in on Jake's situation.
Ryan: Filling you in on Jake's -- is there news? Is he ok?
Adrian: You know, I really can't stand this overwhelming concern. Would the both of you do me a favor? When Jake gets home, give him a chance to sit down and catch his breath before you decide to blow him out of the water.

Gillian: You know, I hardly recognize this place. It looks so professional with so much stuff.
Ryan: Yeah, yeah, we're stockpiling with equipment for the big move. You know, we're getting a suite of offices at the new tower that Tad and Liza are building. It's going to be great.
Gillian: It's great, Ryan. I mean, who would've thought all this would happen a couple of years ago?
Ryan: No one. But none of this means anything to me, Gillian, except in your eyes.
Gillian: What do you mean?
Ryan: You know what I realized since Jake's been missing is how much people respect and admire him.
Gillian: Yeah, they do.
Ryan: Well, I think that's why I'm working so hard at this -- is because I want to be a man who's equally deserving of your love, Gillian. I want you to be proud of me. Hey -- Gillian, what -- what is it? What's the matter?

Leo: You heard Hayley. We got a show to do. Let's move it.
Greenlee: Let's not! And don't even try and slither out of this, Leo.
Becca: Yeah, Leo. Why would Greenlee think I blamed her?
Greenlee: Ah, this should be good.
Leo: Process of elimination. I didn't build the Virgin Victor web site. I have enough trouble just retrieving my own e-mail. So, I thought to myself -- hmm, who would have access to computers and who has a grudge against Becca? Tag, Greenlee, you're it.
Greenlee: You moron.
Leo: Name-calling. That's the last refuge of the guilty, Becca.
Greenlee: Do you realize how labor-intensive this little prank was? Huh? Do you think I would really go to all that time and effort just to annoy you?
Becca: Yes. But I never blamed you. It was Leo I accused.
Greenlee: Oh. This whole thing is so 10th grade. I'm out of here.
Leo: No, no, no, no. You can't get out of this by pleading laziness, Greenlee. That web site was packed full of information about my dates with Becca. Who else would know that stuff?
Greenlee: Someone with a strong stomach, I guess.
Leo: No, that's not an answer.
Greenlee: You two make me sick with your puppy love.
Leo: That's not an answer.
Greenlee: Does marooned on an island mean anything to you, Skipper? Think about where I spent the past two days. Exactly when would I have had the time to put all that stuff on the web? The only hits I got in the past 48 hours were mosquito bites. Look, I am sorry that someone is making fun of your wholesome little infatuation for each other, but it has nothing to do with me. Ok? I have a mature romance to attend to.
Leo: Ha!

Becca: Nice try, Leo.
Leo: What?
Becca: There's only one person who could've possibly made that disgusting display on-line, and that is you.

Eliot: Brooke, before I tell you why I was incarcerated, I just want you to know that my experiences have changed me down to the core of my being.
Brooke: Eliot, I didn't know you before. But you seem to be a kind, compassionate man to me now.
Eliot: I've tried hard to become that. Brooke --

[telephone rings]

Brooke: Oh -- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I have to answer this. I only give this number for emergencies. You'll excuse me?

[Ring]

Brooke: Sorry. Hello? Yes, it is. Oh. It's Jamie's counselor at camp. Yes. Jamie? Oh -- oh, no. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Brooke: Did he lose consciousness? You're sure? Where is he now? Ok. Was he alert the whole time? No, I'm sure he must be terrified. Did he talk about any other symptoms? Dizziness, nausea, anything like that? No, I want him to see a doctor. Yes. All right. When is that going to happen? All right, so, please find out immediately and call me back here. Yes. Thank you.
Eliot: Brooke, what happened?
Brooke: Jamie was in a softball game. He got hit in the head with a bat and there was a lot of blood, so he freaked out. And they carried him to the infirmary. Apparently he's going to need stitches. That's all they know, though. Oh, my poor baby. He must be so scared.
Eliot: Let me help you, Brooke.
Brooke: I can deal with it. It's ok.
Eliot: No, no, no. I know you can. But, please, let me help. Hello? Yes, I need to speak to the camp's director. This is an emergency. Hi, my name is Eliot Freeman. I'm Brooke English's pastor. Her son Jamie was just in an accident? Yes, the information was sketchy. Now, I have her right here. I would like you to explain to her in detail her son's condition. Thank you.
Brooke: Hello. I see. Ok, so an ambulance has been called? All right. So you're going to take him to the emergency room? Good. All right. All right. I just need the name of the hospital. Ok, I'm leaving now. I'm on my way. If you'll just tell my son that I'm on -- his mom's on his way -- on her way, yeah. Ok. No, I'll take care of that. Just get him to the hospital, ok? All right, thanks. The nurse was able to stop the bleeding, so that's good. And it was a deep laceration. They don't know if there's any cranial damage. They're going to take him to the ER. I need to call Tad. He's on his way to New York, so, I -- so I'll call him when I get there, I guess.
Eliot: Wait. You're too rattled to drive. I'll drive you in your car.
Brooke: No, you'll just slow me down. I'm fine. I can drive myself. It's fine.
Eliot: Brooke, Brooke -- I'm going with you. Nobody should go through anything like this alone. Come on.
Brooke: Are you sure? Because --
Eliot: Where are your keys?

Gillian: Ryan, I fell in love with you when all you had were the clothes you were wearing. You don't need all this to shine in my eyes.
Ryan: I have so much to make up for, Princess. When we're finally together, I don't want you ever to have to apologize for being Mrs. Ryan Lavery.
Gillian: I would never apologize for having my heart's dream come true. Not to anyone.
Ryan: I'm going to make it so great for us. You're going to see, I'm going to make it so great. Once we're finally on top, you can look back at this time and --
Gillian: I should go.
Ryan: Yeah.

Ryan: Mr. Midori. Gentlemen, I was beginning to worry about you.
Man: We kept pestering your assistants with questions about the new building.
Second man: We went over to the construction site, looked it over.
Ryan: So, what'd you think of the new plans for Incredible Dream's' new headquarters?
Mr. Midori: We are all very impressed.
Man: It really will be a user-friendly environment. Can I come work for you?
Second man: Should make a great return on our money so far.
Ryan: Your investment is about to pay sizeable dividends. When I looked at the plans and the lease for the new building, my only question was whether we would need two or three additional floors. And once you see our projected growth for this business plan, I think you guys are going to see why.

Leo: I'm really disappointed in you, Becca.
Becca: Now you're blaming the victim? You really are unstoppable, Leo.
Leo: You really think that I'm capable of doing something that cruel, something that offensive to you?
Becca: Well, if it's any consolation, I was a little surprised that you were going to sink so low.
Leo: I thought you knew me better than that. I really did. And I wish that you believed that I wouldn't do something like that to you, Becca. But the fact of the matter is I couldn't do something like that to you.
Becca: What do you mean?
Leo: Did you scroll through that web site? Because once you got past all the embarrassing stuff, it was full of tables of betting odds and payoffs.
Becca: So?
Leo: Did you look through the web site? Because I did, and it made my head spin. You know how hopeless I am when it comes to crunching numbers, Becca. Whoever built this site is far more sophisticated in math than I am. I'm simply not that calculating. Not in any sense of the word.

Hayley: Hmm. No raised voices. No flying chairs. That's good. I assume peace has been restored. And our guest has arrived, so I guess we can get started with the show once this mess is cleaned up. Right? Becca? Honey, you all right?
Becca: I don't know. Hayley, I have the feeling I made a horrible mistake.

Mateo: So, yours is having feelings for a certain guy.
Tina: It's totally irrational, right?
Mateo: I'll tell you this. Adrian's solid.
Tina: No surprises, huh?
Mateo: No, there are always surprises. You know? Even with Hayley and me.
Tina: Oh, here.
Mateo: Yeah, thanks.
Tina: Put this on your knuckles. It'll keep down the swelling.
Mateo: That guy had a hard head. Look, you know, Hayley and I have been through everything. Like human piņatas.
Tina: But you kept coming back for more. Why?
Mateo: I'd look at her, and I could see my future.
Tina: Even though you kept running into the same wall?
Mateo: Well, no, we kept on running into different walls each time. But, you know, I wanted to be with her, and I was willing to take a few lumps to do it.
Tina: And you really didn't mind just leaving yourself completely open like that?
Mateo: Look what I got in return -- a wife whom I love more than my own life, a wife who loves me.
Tina: But would you still feel as good about it if you ended up alone?
Mateo: Yeah. It was worth it.
Tina: That's devotion.
Mateo: You know, I've realized this -- that we're not always in charge of what happens to us. You know that? You know, now I don't waste a minute with Hayley because I don't -- I know you don't get those minutes back.

[Glass shatters]

Tina: Oh.
Mateo: I'll get it.
Tina: So -- your advice is to just go for it? Even if there are no guarantees?
Mateo: Well, there are no insurance policies in relationships. And I'll tell you this. If it's not what you both want, it doesn't have a chance. All right? Listen, you've been listening to me lecture. You faced down a counterfeiter. Take the rest of the night off. All right? Please. Use it for some personal business.

Ryan: And, luckily, we don't have to worry about who wins the election because dreams are bipartisan.

[Laughter]

Man: You should hand out sunglasses with that business plan, Mr. Lavery.
Ryan: Thank you for coming by.
Mr. Midori: I'll see you tomorrow, Ryan.
Ryan: All right.

Mr. Midori: I think I forgot my organizer. I'll see you down at the car, gentlemen.
Man: That's fine.
Mr. Midori: I just have to tell you, young lady, your grandfather's investment looks golden. And don't worry -- Ryan won't find out from me where the money came from.
Greenlee: Good. Keep it that way.
Mr. Midori: Good day.

Man: I'm sorry, Ms. Smythe. You can't come in. Not without an appointment.
Second man: You'll have to leave, Ms. Smythe. This is a restricted area.
Greenlee: Has anyone ever told you that you're very annoying? Get out of my way. Wait, wait -- what are you doing? Let me go!
Ryan: Greenlee, Greenlee -- oh, guys, guys, it's ok. I actually have to talk to you anyway.
Greenlee: Ryan.
Ryan: Outside, outside.
Greenlee: What?
Ryan: Outside, outside.
Greenlee: What are you doing?

Brooke: Why are we stopped?
Eliot: It looks like we may have a flat tire.
Brooke: A flat tire? My son is in the hospital. Let's just keep driving.
Eliot: Brooke -- I know that you're anxious to get there, but the car is just floating all over the road. Let me just check it out, all right?
Brooke: Come on, come on. Great. For Pete's sake. What are you doing?
Eliot: Getting out the spare.
Brooke: Look, we don't have time for this. Let's just get in the car and drive!
Eliot: Brooke, we wouldn't even get two miles. Let me just fix it, and we'll be on our way, ok?
Brooke: If this is not fixed in three minutes, I'm hitchhiking. Please, hurry, all right? I'm going to call the hospital.

[Truck horn blasts]

Eliot: Brooke, no!

[Horn blasts]

Tina: So, the guy's got me like this. And then suddenly Mateo comes in. And bam! One shot, the guy is out.
Adrian: Why didn't you just let the guy go?
Tina: Oh, that's what Mateo said. I mean, but you should've heard the way the guy was talking to me. He's lucky I didn't punch him myself.
Adrian: So, did the police come?
Tina: Mm-hmm. Yeah, they came, and they dragged him away. He was still seeing stars.
Adrian: You know, I can't believe this guy tried to pull another counterfeit bill on us.
Tina: Yeah. Well, he chose the wrong club to mess with.
Adrian: Listen, Tina, do me a favor. The next time, try not to be so brave, ok?
Tina: Well, I don't know. Mateo was so impressed with my courage, he gave me the night off.
Adrian: Oh, he did, did he? Good. I guess that means you are free to have dinner with me.
Tina: I don't think so. I was hoping maybe you could come to my place and let me cook for you.
Adrian: I would love that. I would love that very much.

Hayley: Well, it looks worse now. It's not getting any better. Look at it.
Man: Yeah. But you d a great show anyway, Hayley.
Hayley: Thanks.
Becca: I know, seriously. Maybe all your guests should be late. Your interview with Dr. Turcott was fantastic.
Hayley: You're not lying, are you?
Becca: You know what was really amazing is that you knew some of the nonverbal clues to tell if someone was lying and you hadn't even read the book.
Hayley: Oh, I didn't need to. My mother's an encyclopedia for signs of lying.
Becca: I totally forgot. I'm so sorry, Hayley.
Hayley: Oh, don't be. Made for a great show. Come on, I'm worried about you. Every time I glanced over in your direction during the show, you looked like you were trying to swallow sand. What is up, girl?
Becca: I have a feeling I made a horrible mistake.
Hayley: Was that what the wrestling match with Greenlee was all about?
Becca: I flew off the handle, and I accused Leo of something horrendous.
Hayley: Hmm. Violated that rule about not throwing the first stone, huh?
Becca: And then some. I threw a boulder at him.

Gillian: God? I need your help and your forgiveness. If you're punishing Jake because of me, please spare him. He doesn't deserve to be dead or lost or hurt. He deserves to be with his family and to find a woman who will love him as much as he loves her. And whatever you have in store for me, I will accept that without complaint. I mean that. But please spare Jake. He's innocent. He -- please give him the life he should've had if he hadn't gotten involved with somebody as confused as me. Please, god. Thank you. Amen.

Ryan: All right. I don't know -- um -- ok, how do I say this? The business has gone through a lot of changes lately. It's made a lot of progress as far as size and ambition goes, and that means we have to maintain a certain standard of professionalism.
Greenlee: I can't believe you're lecturing me like this.
Ryan: What I'm trying to say is, Greenlee, I can't afford those games anymore. A lot of money has been entrusted in me, and that's -- that's a lot of responsibility.
Greenlee: How could you let those goons touch me?
Ryan: Greenlee, I offered you to be partner. I offered that to you many times, and you chose not to.
Greenlee: Yeah, that's right.
Ryan: So you can't just run into my office and treat it like your own personal playground. Every time you're bored, you can't just stop by.
Greenlee: Wait. Let me get this straight. You're banning me from the offices of IncredibleDreams?
Ryan: I wouldn't exactly phrase it like that, but, yeah, I guess I am. I have a business to run, Greenlee.
Greenlee: Why you ungrateful creep. You wouldn't have any of this if it weren't for me.

[Truck horn blasts]

Eliot: It's all right. It's ok. We're ok. Brooke? Hey, listen to me. It's over.
Brooke: I -- I -- I froze. I froze right in front of that truck.
Eliot: But you didn't get hurt. We're ok.
Brooke: I'm not crying for myself. My son's in the hospital. He's hurt. Oh, God --
Eliot: Just try -- Brooke, Brooke, try to be brave. We don't know what the details are yet.
Brooke: I know -- the counselor said there was a lot of blood.
Eliot: Scalp injuries are always very bloody. It doesn't mean that it's bad. It doesn't mean that it's serious.
Brooke: What if he's -- what if he's -- oh --
Eliot: Brooke, Brooke, Brooke -- don't even let your mind go there. Stay focused. In my experience, things are never as bad as we're afraid that they're going to be.
Brooke: No -- we must live in very different worlds, Eliot. Because in my experience, things have been worse than I could ever possibly imagined them to be.


ON THE NEXT - - - - ALL MY CHILDREN

Greenlee: You can get lost. And you're going to find out exactly whose feet you should be kissing.

Vanessa: I am going to offer you a deal you simply cannot refuse.

Brooke: Oh, my God. My son.

Tina: I am going to make you a dinner you will never forget.
