ALL MY CHILDREN

AUGUST 2, 2000



Ryan: Greenlee, I know you think really highly of yourself, but to say that I owe you for everything IncredibleDreams has got right now -- I think that's taking it to a whole new level.
Greenlee: Did you ever stop to wonder where you got this fabulous new beginning, Ryan?
Ryan: I don't have to wonder where I got this fabulous --
Greenlee: A person with no business experience whatsoever.
Ryan: What are you talking about? I worked at WRCW.
Greenlee: As a con artist ad salesman. Now, think about it. Think about it. Why would any smart investor give millions of dollars to you with your shady past, huh? I mean -- I mean, what could convince them? Huh?

Leo: Hey, Greenlee.
Greenlee: Oh, Leo -- you know what? My day has already gone from bad to worse. I don't need you pushing me over the edge.
Leo: I --
Greenlee: I mean, you're just as bad as this disappointment.
Leo: I came here to apologize to you.
Greenlee: For what? I mean, you guys obviously think I'm the queen loser of the modern world, but that's going to stop right now. You can get lost. And you're going to find out exactly whose feet you should be kissing.

Becca: Poor Leo. I blasted him, and he was innocent the whole time.
Hayley: I wouldn't go beating myself up if I were you, Becca. I mean, Leo's not exactly a saint, is he? Are you sure he didn't do what -- what you think he didn't do?
Becca: He didn't.
Hayley: Well, that's settled. What didn't he do?
Becca: Oh -- it's almost too embarrassing to say. Someone -- some absolute creep put my picture on a web site and started taking bets on when I'd lose my virginity.
Hayley: Oh, boy. That's bordering on evil.
Becca: The site? It gives a play-by-play of all the dates that Leo and I had together.
Hayley: Well, so naturally you would assume it was Leo.
Becca: I mean, yeah. Who else would know of all these times that he and I spent together?
Hayley: Are you sure it wasn't him?
Becca: I'm positive. Hayley: Well, then, you go and apologize. It was an honest mistake.
Becca: Well, what do I say, Hayley, you know? "I'm so sorry, Leo, that I -- I misjudged you and I humiliated you. Now you can add me on the list of everybody else that you hate." Which is exactly where I deserve to be.
Hayley: Oh, Sweetie.

Tina: I did it.
Mateo: Good did what?
Tina: I asked Adrian to dinner.
Mateo: Oh! You see? Now, was that so hard? No. Did he -- he said yes, right?
Tina: Yes, yes. Yes, he said yes.
Mateo: All right.
Tina: But now everything is going wrong!
Mateo: Like -- like what? I mean -- I mean, you didn't start cooking yet, so --
Tina: I don't have anything that a gourmet kitchen should have.
Mateo: All right. Calm down. What you do is you leave, right? And you go to a store, and you buy all your stuff.
Tina: Oh, God. I'm going to botch this. What was I thinking? Oh, that's right. I forgot -- Adrian's a four-star chef.
Mateo: Tina --
Tina: He's like a blue-ribbon cook or something.
Mateo: Tina, Tina, calm down. It's not like it's about the cooking or about the food. You know what I mean? You'll understand in the morning -- that is if you're not too busy when the sun comes up.
Tina: Mateo!
Mateo: I know. I couldn't help it. I couldn't resist. It's just -- it's so cute. You're so excited.
Tina: "Cute"?
Mateo: Yeah.
Tina: "Cute"? I have a sauce pan and a can opener.
Mateo: Ok. All right, fine. What do you need?
Tina: Um -- I need an omelet pan.
Mateo: Uh-huh.
Tina: And -- and a good chopping knife. Oh, and I saw this special egg whisk on the food network. And --
Mateo: Like this. Right, yeah.
Tina: Yeah. And I need something for dessert -- a cake pan.
Mateo: Oh. Ok. Well, here -- see? Whatever you want in there, you take it. Just bring it back. Ok?
Tina: I just want everything to be perfect for Adrian.
Mateo: It will be. It will be. Wherever you're concerned, Adrian won't be hard to please.
Tina: Thanks.
Mateo: You're welcome.
Tina: You're the greatest.
Mateo: Yeah. I'm the greatest.

Opal: Oh, you are back. My prayers have been answered. Thank you, God. Oh.
Adrian: Hey, Opal.
Opal: Well, it looks like everything is where it ought to be. Are you all right?
Adrian: Yeah. Why shouldn't I be?
Opal: Well, maybe because you were in a war zone.
Adrian: Ah. You heard I went to Chechnya.
Opal: Yeah, I heard you went to Chechnya, but not from you, Mister. What kind of a son doesn't even tell his mama he is about to risk life and limb? When Ruthie told me about you, my stomach just dropped clear to my soles of my feet.
Adrian: Yeah, well, I would've stayed longer if I could. Unfortunately, I never found Jake.
Opal: Oh. I'm so sorry for the Martins. I really am. But thank God you came back in one piece. And if you ever pull something like that again, I am going to make you wish you hadn't. You just watch me.

Brooke: Oh. My God. What was I doing?
Eliot: Look, you were overwhelmed. You were -- you were thinking of getting to Jamie. You weren't paying attention.
Brooke: I know, but I walked in the road. I mean, that -- that truck missed me by inches. I'm ok. Really. I'll be ok now.
Eliot: Ok. I'm a bit shaken up myself. That was very close.
Brooke: You saved me.
Eliot: I wouldn't let anything happen to you, Brooke.
Brooke: Thank you.
Eliot: Now, let me fix this flat. Jamie's in the hospital wondering where his mum is. Now, don't move.
Brooke: I won't. I won't.

Adrian: Opal, I'm fine, ok? Sure, I'm a little frustrated because I couldn't get any more information about Jake, but other than that, I'm fine. Really, I am.
Opal: Well, I know I have some catching up to do when it comes to fretting about you, but I can't help it.
Adrian: You see? That's why I didn't want to tell you beforehand -- because I didn't want you to worry about me.
Opal: I want to be able to worry. That is my prerogative.
Adrian: And I just want to keep that kind of stress out of your life.
Opal: Why?
Adrian: Because it's selfish of me to tell you the type of things that I'm involved with. Besides, it's not going to do you any good.
Opal: Well, I want that to be the decision that I make, Adrian.
Adrian: Opal, come on. I'm a pro, all right? Guys like me don't give advanced notices. I've been in and out of war zones. I've never put up any bulletins before. Besides, I always come out in one piece, right?
Opal: Well, pro or not, I want to know when my kid is in danger.
Mateo: Yo, Adrian, what's with the guava nectar? Did your order it?
Adrian: I'll take care of that.
Mateo: All right.
Adrian: Would you please try to remember I am no longer a spy-for-hire, ok? Me going over there looking for Jake was personal. Besides, I'm -- look at me. I'm just a humble bar owner and kind of dabble on the side in computers. That's all.
Opal: Ok. All right. But would you please tell me if you decide to do any more personal assignments in the future, please? Just so I can at least say the right prayer.
Adrian: Yes, Opal, I promise. Next time I do anything risky, you will be the first to know.
Opal: And am I ever going to be anything but "Opal" to you?
Adrian: As opposed to what?
Opal: I don't know. Mom, for instance? You have any idea what you mean to me, Adrian?
Adrian: I think I do.
Opal: No. No, you couldn't possibly know. Because I -- I couldn't be there for 30 years to be your mother and to show you. But you are as much my son as Tad and Petey is, Adrian. You're flesh of my flesh, and I love you. Oh. Well, I guess this was a day I should've wore my waterproof makeup. Excuse me. I'm just glad you're home safe.

Adrian: You're still here? I mean, are we on for tonight, or are you still working? Tina?

Becca: So I buy this incredibly sexy teddy -- I mean, something that I would never, ever wear. Oh. I think she needs you to sign something.
Hayley: And the point of that was?
Becca: Well, I wanted him to think that he was going to get lucky.

[Hayley gasps]

Hayley: Becca. Becca. Oh. Excuse me.
Becca: I know. It's just I thought that he was the one that created Virgin-Victor.com.
Hayley: Well, first of all, that's a violation no matter who started it. Ok? Why didn't you just stand up and confront him when you first suspected it was Leo?
Becca: I was hurt. You know, I'm just -- I'm tired of being the paragon of Pigeon Hollow purity. For once -- for once I wanted to do something mean, hurt someone back.
Hayley: I understand how you feel. I mean, I understand how violated you felt and everything. But don't you think plotting revenge against Leo is a little extreme and beneath you?
Becca: Yes. I mean, especially -- especially when I really didn't think that he did it. But, of course, I went against my better instincts.
Hayley: You like him, don't you?
Becca: Oh, my God. I do, don't I?
Hayley: Even with my pinkeye, I can see that. On some level, anyway.
Becca: You know, there is this part of Leo that is just so sweet and vulnerable. It's almost like he's the man that I've always dreamed of.
Hayley: Hmm. Must be the part the rest of us don't get to see.
Becca: It is. You know, it's almost like he takes pride in being spoiled and -- and mean and nasty. Even dangerous. Oh, but if you want to know about anything that makes Leo rotten, she just walked through that door.

Vanessa: Hayley, just the person I've been looking for.
Hayley: Oh. Well, what an honor.
Vanessa: I am going to offer you a deal, one you simply cannot refuse.
Becca: What is it, a poisoned apple?

Leo: Would you excuse me and my little friend for a minute?
Greenlee: Leo, what do you want? I'm in the middle of something here.
Leo: Yeah, I can see that. You might want to reconsider where you're heading --
Ryan: Greenlee, would you just please tell me what it is you're trying to say and stop wasting my time!
Greenlee: Wasting your time? Oh, my -- how dare you! I'm the one that you should be thanking.

[Leo grabs Greenlee and kisses her]

Ryan: You know -- you know what? This -- what is going on here? Will you take this someplace else, please!
Greenlee: What's the matter with you?
Leo: Everything. Everything. That's why I came down here. You were falsely accused, Greenlee. And I -- my thinking was way off to the point of insanity, and I just want to say sorry.
Ryan: Great. See you later. Greenlee --

Man: Ryan, I have Midori on line one.
Ryan: You know, I got to take that.
Leo: See you later.
Ryan: We are not finished, ok?
Greenlee: You're right about that, Buddy.

Greenlee: What possessed you to do that in front of Ryan?
Leo: Well, it seemed like the only sure-fire way to shut your yap.
Greenlee: Quit screwing around, ok? I was about to tell Ryan everything.
Leo: It's a bad idea, Greenlee. Greenlee: Not from where I'm standing. Actually, it's more like where I'm squished like a bug under Ryan's new $300 shoes.
Leo: Yeah, I noticed that. He's really dressing to impress, isn't he?
Greenlee: Yeah, yeah. And he wouldn't have any of that if it wasn't for my planning, my investing, my money.
Leo: Shh! Greenlee --
Greenlee: What?
Leo: Actually, it's your grandfather's money.
Greenlee: Exactly, channeled through me. He should be on his knees thanking me for everything I've given him.
Leo: As we both know that he should be. But I'm the reason you're upset, Greenlee. I apologize for accusing you of setting up that whole becca web site. Hell, I'll even get on my knees.
Greenlee: Stop it. Ok? Her belly flop into womanhood was a laugh, but we've been there, done that.
Leo: Yeah, well, now that we've settled that, let's get out of here before you blow the Ryan campaign. Come on.
Greenlee: Why do you suddenly care whether I win or lose with Ryan?
Leo: I don't. But telling him there is no Santa Claus is going to crush any hope that you might have of getting him.
Greenlee: You think there's still hope?
Leo: No, but -- for the record, if you were waving all this magic around for me, I would be on my knees every single day.
Greenlee: And loving it.
Leo: I would be a slave to your love, Baby.
Greenlee: Exactly. I mean, is that too much to ask?
Leo: I don't think so.
Greenlee: You don't think Ryan would thank me?
Leo: No, he'd probably dump you for going behind his back, and then you would dump me for whatever. And I would lose my best friend.
Greenlee: You know, I don't get any of this. One day you're in my corner, and the next I'm pulling a knife out of my back. Cut it out!
Leo: Fine. Fine. From now on, every day from here on is Greenlee Appreciation Day.
Greenlee: Good.
Leo: You know, Greenlee, I've always said that we're the only two that understand each other. But we're also a couple of jerks.

Vanessa: I'm sorry, Becca. Were you saying something?
Becca: Oh. No, not to you, Mrs. Cortlandt. Hayley, thank you so much. What you said -- it really helped.
Hayley: Mm-hmm. Sure.
Vanessa: Well, that's very sweet. Now, would you mind leaving Hayley and me alone? I'm sure you have plenty of good things to do somewhere.
Becca: You got it.

Hayley: Oh, Vanessa, I'm really busy today.
Vanessa: Of course you are, darling. I hear the show is an absolute smash.
Hayley: Well, we're -- we're doing fine. Have you been watching?
Vanessa: Every day. Every single day. I mean, everybody loves doing "Wave." But I must confess I've heard a little scuttlebutt that they're a little concerned about the point of view.
Hayley: Really?
Vanessa: Hmm. Yes, well, not you. I mean, you're doing an absolutely fantastic job. I mean, you've got the young group all tuned in and watching. But what about your more mature audience?
Hayley: Oh, well, the fan mail has been overwhelmingly positive.
Vanessa: Well, I'm sure it is. You have a very gracious audience. I know that. But, you know, you have an awful lot of viewers out there who -- well, they need someone that they can relate to. I mean, someone that shares more their sense of fashion and culture.
Hayley: Well, I try to do that, but I will run it by marketing. Thank you so much.
Vanessa: Well, don't you run any further, darling, because here I am.
Hayley: Pardon me?
Vanessa: Well, I'm the answer. I'm the mature element that your show has been missing. I mean, you know, trendiness is lots of fun, you know, and it's -- it's great. But, you know, you also need that more classical viewpoint of fashion, I think. Hayley: And that would be you? Vanessa: Well, I have been a habitué of the major -- major, you know, haute couture, you know, centers around the world from Paris to London to Milan -- Hayley: I'm afraid we're not looking for any more on-air talent, but thank you so -- Vanessa: Well, I -- you know, I don't think you're quite aware that my career started in Hollywood in the golden era of movies. And I'm going to tell you something -- that camera loved me. It loved me. Hayley: I'm sure, Vanessa, but I -- I think the producers are quite happy with the show's format as it is. Vanessa: But rest assured, darling, I would only be there to support you.
Hayley: Vanessa, really, I -- I don't --
Vanessa: Hayley, you would be doing me just an enormous favor. You know, life has been quite challenging lately. I really need -- I really want to do something I'm good at. I -- I -- I need this job.

[Telephone rings]

Hayley: Excuse me. Hello. Hayley here. Hi! Yes!
[Hayley laughs]

Hayley: Oh, no, no. No, no. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I really -- I have to take this call, Vanessa.
Vanessa: Mm-hmm.
Hayley: I'm sorry. But if you leave your picture and resume with our production office, I'm sure somebody will get back to you. But thank -- thank you so much.

Vanessa: Becca -- excuse me. May I have a moment of your time, dear? I wanted to ask you a favor.
Becca: Oh -- you know what? We are just all a little crazy around here --
Vanessa: It concerns Leo. Becca: Well, to be honest
with you, Leo and I -- he's pretty upset at me right now, and he has every right to be.
Vanessa: Youth. Everything's a three-alarm fire. You really like him, don't you?
Becca: Yes.
Vanessa: Hmm. Do you love him?

Greenlee: What do you mean, we're a couple of jerks? Speak for yourself.
Leo: Look at us. Don't you see what a monumental waste of time this is?
Greenlee: What?
Leo: Becca hates me. She doesn't trust me, Greenlee. And Ryan doesn't feel any differently about you.
Greenlee: Ryan doesn't hate me.
Leo: You're not the one he wants to wake up to in the morning.
Greenlee: But I love him -- even when I'm so mad I could kill him. I want him more now than I ever have.
Leo: You don't love him, Greenlee. You want to win. And your boy Ryan is giving you the best challenge of your life. Honey, that's not love.
Greenlee: You're just being negative. Becca thinks you turned her deflowering into a sporting event on the internet. Ryan has no reason to feel that way about me
Leo: That's even worse. At least I inspire hatred in people. You don't inspire anything in Ryan. No offense.
Greenlee: No, you know what? I can't believe that. I won't. He's just a little stuck.
Leo: Now, that's what they like to call denial, Greenlee. Snap out of it.
Greenlee: Do you really like Becca, Leo?
Leo: Yeah. In more ways than I've ever admitted to you. But does it matter? I may want her, but that doesn't mean she's going to have me.
Greenlee: So we're both chasing after people that we can't have?
Leo: Like I said, Greenlee, jerks. Let's make a pact. Let's just forget about them both. You forget about Ryan, and I'll forget about Becca.
Greenlee: Cold turkey? I don't believe you.
Leo: It'll be a challenge, but if you -- if you free your heart, the rest of your life will follow.
Greenlee: How can you be so sure that that's going to happen?
Leo: Look -- we're just going to have to help each other to just say no. Come on. Let's go. Let's go to the S.O.S. We'll celebrate our freedom.
Greenlee: You're right. You're right. I should forget about Ryan. I'm probably better off staying away from him altogether.
Leo: That's right. That's what I'm talking about. Martinis on me.
Greenlee: I look terrible, ok? I'm -- let me put on a new face with my new attitude.
Leo: You're doing the right thing, Greenlee. You're doing the right thing, Kiddo.

Greenlee: Leo's right. Ryan can't stand you. Cut your losses, girl, and keep moving.
Ryan: Greenlee -- wait a second. You were right.
Greenlee: About what?
Ryan: I do owe you for my success.

Adrian: Come on, Tina. I've been around you long enough to know that I've done something when you look at me like that.
Tina: I heard what your mother said.
Adrian: Yeah, and?
Tina: Nothing. I just -- I heard what she said. Adrian: Tina, what are
you really trying to say?
Tina: Nothing. I'm not trying to say anything. You know, scratch that. I am. I wish that I had someone in my life that wanted me to call them "Mother."
Adrian: Tina --
Tina: It -- it's just ironic that I'm always finding myself in situations where I'm close to what I want but I never quite seem to get it.
Adrian: Well, maybe we can change that.
Tina: You're so together, Adrian. Just make sure that you stop to appreciate all the blessings that you have. Oh -- and get ready for tonight because I am going to make you a dinner you will never forget.

Eliot: Ok --
Brooke: He's not here, either.
Eliot: The nurse said if he's not in this cubicle, we should just wait for the doctor.
Brooke: Somebody must know where he is!
Eliot: Brooke, just stay here. I'll go the nurses' desk --
Brooke: Oh, my God. My son.
Brooke: Tell me he's all right.
Doctor: You're Jamie Martin's mother?
Brooke: Yes. Please, how is he?
Doctor: Jamie suffered a mild contusion to the head, a fairly deep laceration to the scalp. But you'd be surprised how hard kid's head can be at this age.
Brooke: Is he conscious?
Doctor: Absolutely. We're finishing an MRI Just to make sure nothing got scrambled. But your son's going to be ok. Oh, no, don't worry. Head wounds tend to bleed a lot. The laceration required some stitches. He'll have a scar, but his hair will grow over it.
Eliot: So he'll be left with nothing but the memory of his first softball injury and nothing else?
Doctor: Nothing else.
Eliot: Brooke, he's telling you that Jamie will be fine.
Doctor: Yes. Yes. Your boy had an accident common to boys his age, but he's ok.
Brooke: Can I see him?

Nurse: I think you've got visitors.
Jamie: Mom!
Brooke: Oh! Hi. Oh, Sweetie. Oh, Sweetie. Am I hugging you too hard?
Jamie: I won't break.
Brooke: I don't want to hurt you.
Nurse: He won't.
Brooke: I know he won't break. I sometimes forget that.
Jamie: Do you remember that time you said I was being hardheaded? You were right. The doctor said the same thing.
Brooke: So, listen, tell me, how did this happen?
Jamie: The kid -- the kid didn't know how to swing a bat.
Brooke: Oh.
Jamie: You should've seen all the blood.
Brooke: Oh, no --
Doctor: That's why the nurse had him rushed to the ER.
Eliot: What about
a concussion? Doctor: There's nothing to indicate that kind of damage. But he's got a nice lump and a bit of a headache, so we'll watch him tonight.
Brooke: Is there someplace that I could stay tonight in the hospital, and then I can take him home first thing in the morning.
Jamie: What? No, I don't want to go home.
Brooke: Do you think I'm going to let you out of my sight after this happened?
Jamie: There's tons of cool stuff going on up at camp. I'd miss the best part, Mom.
Doctor: The nurse at the camp knows to keep an eyen him.
Jamie: Besides, if I don't go back, everyone will think I'm a wimp.
Eliot: Jamie, you're not going to head butt anybody?
Jamie: Rev. Freeman, I promise.
Brooke: All right. You know what, then? I'll just -- I'll just stay at the hospital tonight, then. That's all.
Jamie: I'm big enough to stay at the hospital by myself, too.
Brooke: Guess I'm outnumbered.
Eliot: Your mom was just very worried about you. That's all, Jamie.
Jamie: I know. But everything's ok now, really.
Doctor: I'll check on you later, slugger.
Brooke: Thank you.

Jamie: You really freaked out, didn't you, Mom?
Brooke: Totally. You are everything to me.
Jamie: I missed you a few times since I've been gone.
Brooke: You did? Hey, listen, I wouldn't let that get around, tough guy.
Jamie: This camp really rocks, mom. I love it.
Brooke: You should go back. I'll come and visit you in a day or two, just -- all right. I'll keep a low profile, I promise. All right? None of your friends will see me.
Jamie: Thanks. Did you think I was going to die or something?
Brooke: Oh -- what a horrible thought. No, of course not.
Jamie: Because you brought Rev. Freeman with you.
Brooke: Oh. He came as a friend, honey. I'm grateful that he did.

Becca: I -- I said I cared about Leo, not that I love him.
Vanessa: I know you didn't say it, dear. You didn't have to.
Becca: Look, Leo and I are friends -- or at least we used to be. End of story. Please excuse me, Mrs. Cortlandt.
Vanessa: Becca -- this -- I feel a little bit strange asking you how my own son is, but how is he?
Becca: I told you -- the last time I saw him he was pretty upset. That's it.
Vanessa: Yes, well, I meant in the bigger scheme of things. I mean, is he eating all right? Is he taking care of himself? Well, we really haven't talked since our difficulties, and I -- I miss him.
Becca: In general, I think he's doing ok, Mrs. Cortlandt.
Vanessa: Thank you. Well -- not that he wants to hear it particularly, but would you mind passing on a greeting to him for me?
Becca: You know, I'd rather not. I don't want to say anything that's going to make him more upset or anything that you should be saying to him yourself. It'll just make things worse.
Vanessa: Yeah, well, Becca, this has been a rather turbulent time in my life, and -- well, I'm just beginning to realize how much I miss his love and support.
Becca: Well, I'm sorry you don't have that, Mrs. Cortlandt, but whose fault is that?
Vanessa: Judge Becca. Well, fine. All right, dear. Maybe someday you'll understand. But, you know, a woman just doesn't stop being a mother, even on her worst days. And I know Leo likes you. He respects you. Just do me the favor of maybe looking out for him? He's always needed that.

Mateo: What's in the boxes?
Tina: I just got the basics.
Mateo: Oh.
Hayley: Whoa! What's -- who's moving? What's with all the utensils?
Adrian: You guys need a hand over there?
Tina: No, no, no. We got it.
Mateo: No, we're -- we got it.
Tina: Under control.
Hayley: They got it.
Mateo: Ok.
Tina: I'm just going out on a limb and hoping it doesn't break.
Mateo: All right, knock 'em dead.
Tina: Thank you.
Mateo: Wish her luck.
Hayley: Good luck.
Mateo: I'll explain later.
Tina: Thank you.
Hayley: Ok.
Tina: Make sure Adrian isn't late.
Mateo: Oh, no. He'll be on time.
Tina: Ok.
Mateo: He'll be right on time.

Opal: Well, I'm going to scoot along. But, listen, honey -- you go ahead. You call me whatever you want to call me. I mean, as long as you're living, breathing, in one piece, I can't complain.
Adrian: Oh, don't worry, Mama. I promise not to pull any more disappearing acts.
Opal: I mean, you are a grown man, you know. What right do I have to be telling you what to -- what did -- what did you just say?
Adrian: I said I'm going to stay here tonight.
Opal: No, before that. Did you just call me "Mama"?
Adrian: I did. I wonder how that slipped out.
Opal: Oh, you.
Adrian: You know, I hate to hear kids calling their parents by their first names.
Opal: Yeah, me, too. I hate that.
Adrian: Yeah. That's right. And if Petey and Tad can call you Mama, you think I'm going to be left out of that? I don't think so. We're going to keep this in the family, right?
Opal: Yeah, right.

Greenlee: You were so mad before, and now you're saying you owe your success to me?
Ryan: Yeah, well, you know, I thought about it. And every startup company has its turning points. And you were there for me for every single one of them so far.
Greenlee: All I've wanted to do was help.
Ryan: And you have. I mean, the newspaper clipping led me to the investor. You were here through the planning phases of the company. You even helped me name the company, so -- ahem -- for better or for worse, thank you.
Greenlee: Sounds like a marriage.
Ryan: Yeah, a business one, I guess. I'm in your debt.
Greenlee: You're determined to exceed all my expectations, aren't you?
Ryan: What?
Greenlee: Damn it, Ryan, why do you make this so hard on me?
Ryan: Wait a minute. What did I do now?
Greenlee: Can't you hate me? It would make my life so much easier.
Ryan: I don't want to hate you, Greenlee.
Greenlee: You're making it hard to keep my promise to Leo.
Ryan: Ok, now you've completely lost me. What, so you some sort of promise with Leo?
Greenlee: A dumb one. Who am I kidding?

Zack: Hey, dude. How's your love life?
Leo: Do I know you?
Zack: Yeah, I was at BJ's the other night. Remember the guys that sent over the plate of oysters to you and the young lady?
Leo: Yeah. What was up with that?
Zack: Look, there hasn't been anything on the Virgin Victor web site lately. I got, like, 50 bucks on you. Come on, victor, did you get in her pants --
Leo: I'm not Victor, you idiot. You leave Becca alone. Do you hear me? And tell those idiot friends of yours the same thing. There is no bet.
Zack: Since when? Oh, you got to know there are a lot of people waiting for the big day. Maybe you could do a web cast.
Adrian: Hey, hey, hey, hey! Not in our place. Let's go.
Leo: Leo du Pres, the king of smut. Coming up in the world.

Eliot: Wow. You got us here in record time.
Brooke: Did I? I was just so relieved that Jamie was ok, I didn't even watch the road. And the conversation was good.
Eliot: Want to come in for some tea?
Brooke: Um -- it's late.
Eliot: We'll rehash our adventure some other time.
Brooke: Eliot?
Eliot: Yeah?
Brooke: You were so good to me. I mean, really. You dropped everything, and you stayed by me the whole time.
Eliot: I wanted to be there for you, Brooke.
Brooke: Forgive me if I sort of panicked.
Eliot: Oh, totally understandable.
Brooke: You're very good at this. I mean, there's something in me that is very calm when you're around.
Brooke: You were going to tell me about Statesville.
Eliot: Oh. I was hoping you forgot about that.
Brooke: You were an inmate.
Eliot: That's not something you need to know right now, so -- listen, I -- we both had a very emotional night. I'll see you at the Community Center. Ok?
Brooke: Wait. Thanks.
[Brooke kisses Eliot on the cheek]

Brooke: If I speak, I'm afraid I'm going to say something that's going to -- I don't know -- ruin something I don't understand yet.
Eliot: It's best if we say good night, then.
Brooke: Eliot -- you kept me sane tonight.
Eliot: I'm -- I'm glad that I could be of help, Brooke. I'll see you soon, ok?
Brooke: Ok.

Eliot: What are you doing? Do you know? Of course you do. This is not the way that it's supposed to go.

Hayley: Looking good, Adrian!
Mateo: You know, you can take a bottle of wine if you want. It's on the house.
Adrian: That's all right. I think I can handle that myself.
Mateo: Look a little nervous. Does he seem a little nervous to you?
Hayley: I didn't think you spies types were supposed to get nervous.
Opal: All right, you two. Now quit beating up on my boy. You look fabulous. Well, of course, he would. He's got a fashion sense just like his mama.
Adrian: Thank you, Mama. Now, if the inspection is over, I'm out.
Opal: What's she cooking?
Adrian: Wait a minute. Is there anyone in this club who doesn't know what I'm doing tonight?
Hayley, Mateo, and Opal: No.
Adrian: I'm out of here.
Mateo: Adrian -- make sure you use the correct fork.

Greenlee: Hey.
Leo: Sit down.
Greenlee: You look more jaded than usual.
Leo: Those fools who were laying the odds on Becca still think that I'm Victor the virgin slayer.

Greenlee: Well, you're not, so why dwell on it?
Leo: Because somebody played me like a sucker. That's why, Greenlee.
Greenlee: True. And they did a good job of it, I might add.
Leo: It's virtuoso work. They followed me. They learned enough about my private life to make it look like I was taking bets on devirginizing Becca. And then set up a web site to frame me. Sweet.
Greenlee: It's sick. Somebody definitely hates you, Leo.
Leo: But who? Who? I mean, what's the motive?
Greenlee: What have you done lately?
Leo: I've actually been pretty good.
Greenlee: Don't be so modest. Somebody hates your guts. What about Scott? You guys have never seen eye to eye about Miss Pigeon Hollow. I'll have what he's having.
Leo: Yeah, Scott. He has been acting a little weird lately. But he promised that he wasn't going to interfere with whatever Becca and I wanted to do.
Greenlee: And you believe him?
Leo: I told you it was weird. The only thing is, would he know how to frame me? He's clueless about the original bet.
Greenlee: Not exactly.
Leo: What do you mean, "not exactly"? You told him?
Greenlee: Don't get mad at me.
Leo: That son of a -- it's him.
Greenlee: But what would he get out of it?
Leo: "All warfare is based on deception." Sun Tzu, "The Art of War."
Greenlee: That is so 1980s. I love it.
Leo: Yeah, well, Scott's not going to love it when I turn the tables on him.
Greenlee: What are you going to do?
Leo: I don't know. But I know that Scott Chandler's going to get what's coming to him and then some.
Greenlee: I love it when you're on a mission.
