ALL MY CHILDREN

AUGUST 22, 2000



Gillian: Ugh!
Ryan: Hey, hey, hey -- Princess, whoa --
Gillian: Ryan, you lied to me.
Ryan: I know. That's what you said on the phone when --
Gillian: When we got back together again, we made a promise that we would always tell each other the truth.
Ryan: What? What did I mess up?
Gillian: You promised me you weren't going to go to Chechnya to go after Jake, and now I hear from Tina that you are going.
Ryan: I would never go back on a promise I made to you, Princess.
Gillian: So Tina was wrong? You're not going?
Ryan: I didn't lie to you. I just didn't say anything, and you just assumed that I wasn't going.
Gillian: Ryan, you led me to believe that you weren't going. That's the same as lying.
Ryan: I know, I know. You're right. You're right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I should've been straight with you, ok?
Gillian: When were you going to tell me? Huh? When were you going to tell me? On your way to the airport? Was I going to get a call from the plane? Or was I going to get a note attached to your body bag when they sent it to me? Ryan, am I going to be your widow before I can be your wife again?
Ryan: Listen. Shh, shh, shh. I know you're scared, but it's going to be ok. It's going to be ok.
Gillian: Ryan, please -- please -- I'm begging you -- please don't go to Chechnya.
Ryan: I have to go, Princess. I have to go. I have to go to find Jake and to bring him back.
Gillian: Why?
Ryan: Because it's the only way to end all the lies so you and I can be together.

Wade: Greenlee Smythe. Are you as unconventional as your name?
Greenlee: My granddaddy called me DD. when I was little. Short for daredevil.
Wade: I hope you haven't outgrown that.
Greenlee: Just the name, not the reputation. That's why I love the world of high finance.
Wade: Ah, so you're a risk-taker.
Greenlee: All the way. A high-stakes player.
Wade: Well, it depends upon the game.
Greenlee: You strike me as someone who expects a large return on his investments.
Wade: I'm a bad loser.
Greenlee: Something else we have in common. My theory? We make our own odds.
Wade: And if they're stacked against us?
Greenlee: Well, then we up the ante. I'm looking for a man who's ready to seize a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make a killing in the dot-com trade.
Wade: Greenlee, don't tell me we're going to waste this evening talking shop.
Greenlee: I prefer to take care of business before taking care of business.
Wade: You have a proposition. Let's hear it.

Alex: Dimitri.
Man: Your boarding pass, Ma'am?
Alex: What?
Man: I need to see your boarding pass.
Alex: Oh, I don't have one.
Man: All right. If you just go over to the counter, show your ticket, they'll give you a boarding pass.
Alex: No, I'm not booked on this flight. I was looking for one of the passengers --
Man: Well, you can't board the flight without a ticket.
Alex: I'm just going to be a moment.
Man: No, absolutely not. That's against federal regulations --
Alex: Well, then I'll buy a ticket!
Man: Ok.
Man: Ma'am, the flight is booked solid. I'm sorry.
Alex: Then I can't buy a ticket, can I?
Man: No, you can't.
Alex: I have to get on the plane. I saw someone -- I think I saw someone. Can you come with me?
Man: Ma'am, why don't I direct you to our customer relations. If you'd just follow me --
Alex: No, I don't have time for that!
Man: Madam, you must calm down right now.
Alex: I am not a bloody terrorist.
Man: Calm down.
Alex: Take my purse.
Man: I will call security.

Edmund: Alex? Alex. What's going on?
Man: She's trying to board a flight to Zurich without a ticket.
Alex: He won't let me on the flight.
Edmund: Ok, ok. Excuse me. You have a sudden urge to see the Alps?
Alex: No.
Edmund: Then why do you want to go to Zurich?
Alex: No.
This is so crazy. Edmund: Honey, nothing can be crazy after what we've gone through in the last year.
Alex: I thought I saw Dimitri get on that plane.
Edmund: Here you go. You saw Dimitri?
Alex: I told you it was crazy.
Edmund: It's not crazy. It's just impossible.
Alex: Yeah, I know. You should've seen this man.
Edmund: Yeah? Describe him.
Alex: Well, I was sitting here waiting for you, and -- I looked up, and he was standing there. He's was tall and dark and --
Edmund: Did you see his face?
Alex: No, I just saw him from the side, but -- oh. Everything about him was Dimitri. The way he stood, the way he walked, the --
Edmund: What?
Alex: That -- you remember that -- that smell, that lime after-shave that he wore? I smelled that.
Edmund: Did you call him by name?
Alex: No. He wouldn't let me -- I tried to follow him. He wouldn't let me on the plane.
Edmund: Come on.

Edmund: Ahem. Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm going to have to get a look inside that plane.
Man: Folks, even if you had a ticket, it's too late. It already left the gate.
Edmund: It can't take off. I'm sorry.
Man: There's nothing you can do to stop the plane.
Edmund: Well, you could call the pilot.
Man: And why would I want to do that?
Edmund: Because my brother maybe on that plane and, if so, he's in need of immediate medical attention.
Man: Well, then you folks had better hope that there's a doctor onboard. Now, would you please move on? Ok? I can have security escort you out just as easily.

Greenlee: Technically, what I'm offering is insider information.
Wade: Which, technically, the FTC frowns upon.
Greenlee: I'm sure we can both keep it a secret.
Wade: Go on, Greenlee. You have my undivided attention.
Greenlee: The name of the company is incredibledreams.com, and it's getting ready to make its IPO. If you got in on the ground level, you could double, even triple your investment in a matter of months.
Wade: Are you the head of this startup venture?
Greenlee: No.
Wade: Then why are you running the inside track?
Greenlee: I guess you could say I'm the inspiration behind the dream.
Wade: Well, I have no trouble believing that.
Greenlee: I also invested some of my own capital.
Wade: And you sleep at night?
Greenlee: Like a baby.
Believe me, Wade, I can make you a very wealthy man. So, are you interested?
Wade: Well, your presentation was very effective. But let's cut to the bottom line. What do you really want, Greenlee?

Gillian: Ryan, I want the lies to end as badly as you do. I want us to be free and just be able to love each other.
Ryan: Bringing Jake back is the only way we can be free.
Gillian: No. No. It's too dangerous.
Ryan: It's worth it if we get to be together, Gillian.
Gillian: No, it's not worth it if you get yourself killed!
Ryan: That's not going to happen.
Gillian: Ryan, you don't understand. I'm not as brave as you are. Jake is in a war zone because of me, because I was a coward, because I was too afraid to tell him of Colby, because -- because I was too afraid of the look in his eyes. And now he's sitting there in Chechnya in a war zone because -- because of me. And you want to go after him now because I'm not brave enough to tell the world that I love you? Ryan, I'm not brave enough to risk losing you.
Ryan: Sweetheart -- Sweetheart, I'm not marching off to war. I've got press passes that negotiate hot spots.
Gillian: Ryan, a press pass is not bulletproof. It's not some business deal that you can finesse with smooth talk and a smile.
Ryan: I know that. I know that.
Gillian: Do you? Have you seen those pictures, Ryan? Have you seen those fields they covered with body parts? Graves filled with women and children and men who all promised their wives and lovers that they would return home safely.
Ryan: I'm not going into this blind, Gillian. I'm going with Adrian. Adrian Sword, International Spy. He's been in and out of places like this without a scratch. I'll be in good hands. We go in, we get Jake, we bring him home -- mission complete
Gillian: Unless you get yourself killed.
Ryan: Sweetheart, I love you for worrying about me. I do. I do. But I swear to you -- I swear to you I'm coming back.
Gillian: Oh --
Ryan: What is it? Baby, what's wrong?
Gillian: A cold chill just went across my heart.
Ryan, if you go to Chechnya, I will never see you again. This will be the last time we'll be together.
Ryan: Gillian, don't you think for one second that I won't come home to you.
Gillian: You can't promise that, Ryan. You don't know what's going to happen.
Ryan: I know the dangers going in.
Gillian: Ryan, you're not a soldier. And neither is Jake. You're not trained for combat.
Ryan: If everything goes as planned, we're not going to see any combat.
Gillian: What if there's trouble? What if you're ambushed?
Ryan: Well, that's where Adrian's survival skills kick in. He's got training, background, firearms.
Gillian: You'll have guns?
Ryan: We -- yeah, we're going into a war zone.
Gillian: Oh -- oh, oh. This is -- this is not happening. God, please tell me this is not happening.
Ryan: Shh. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, listen -- listen, Adrian has got everything worked out. We're going to go in, scope out the territory, get Jake, get him out.
Gillian: What if he doesn't want to come with you, Ryan? The reason why he's there is because he wants to try and save those poor orphans.
Ryan: Well, we're not going to give him a choice. I mean, he's got to come with us, and we'll make sure that the kids are taken someplace safe.
Gillian: "Someplace safe"? What, someplace safe without gunfire and bombs? He's risking his life to save those children. And now you want to save your life to -- risk your life to save Jake? Has the world gone crazy, Ryan? If anything happens to you --
Ryan: It won't. It won't.
Gillian: But if it does, I might as well be dead.
Ryan: Don't you say that. Don't say that.
Gillian: It's true, Ryan. My life begins and ends with you.

Greenlee: Wade -- ahem -- you know the bottom line. Monster dividends, instant wealth.
Wade: I'm not exactly hurting for cash.
Greenlee: There's no such thing as too much money.
Wade: So you're just giving it away, no strings attached?
Greenlee: Not exactly.
Wade: So, what's the deal, exactly?
Greenlee: You invest in incredibledreams, and in a few months you can retire to Tortuga.
Wade: I have a nice face?
Greenlee: What?
Wade: Warm smile, trusting eyes?
Greenlee: I don't know what you're getting at. You're very good-looking.
Wade: I'm not fishing for a compliment. I'm wondering why you would offer a total stranger the deal of the decade.
Greenlee: You were recommended to me by a mutual friend.
Wade: Oh, so you're going to cut this mutual friend in on a piece of the action?
Greenlee: So far you're the only investor I've approached.
Wade: Let me explain something to you. The key word in "insider trading" is "insider." Your friends, your family, your peers -- you offer them a hot tip. They can reap the rewards. You don't know me from a hole in the ground, yet you're aching to compound my interest. I've got to ask myself why. What's in it for you?
Greenlee: Satisfaction? Knowing that I've done a good deed, spread the wealth around?
Wade: That's very funny. That's -- that's first-class.
Greenlee: I -- I don't appreciate being laughed at.
Wade: Let me explain something else to you about me. I have no sense of humor yet you struck my funny bone. And for that alone, I owe you something.
Greenlee: I don't know who you think you're dealing with.
Wade: I'm dealing with Greenlee Smythe, who needs cash -- a lot of it -- and right now. Am I right? You're not looking for an investor. You're looking for a handout.
Greenlee: A loan.
Wade: What's the money for, Greenlee?
Greenlee: That's privileged information. But, believe me, your money will be well spent and you'll make it back -- with interest. So, do we have a deal?
Wade: Well, first, how much money are we talking about? And, second -- what are you willing to put up as collateral?

Leo: Greenlee. Wade. I didn't realize you two knew each other.

Edmund: Ok, look, if we can't call the plane back, could we at least look at the passenger list?
Man: Again, folks, federal regulations prohibit my disclosing that information. I'm sorry.
Edmund: Would you can the federal regulations for just one minute --
Alex: Edmund, Edmund -- I realize that you're just doing your job and that our request is unusual.
Man: Ma'am, I have to deal with crazy people every single day. I have got drunks picking fights with flight attendants, kids flying all by themselves, running up and down the plane. I've got people insisting a steamer crate is carry-on luggage. The list goes on.
Alex: I'm not trying to make your job any more difficult than it already is. But I saw someone that is -- that was very dear to me. And I didn't think that he was -- anyway, you can imagine how I felt when I saw him getting on the plane.
Man: Ma'am, I don't know what to tell you, ok? Everybody's got a double somewhere.
Alex: I know I'm probably wrong, but I need to be sure 100%. If you could help me.
Man: I would like to help you. I really would. You seem like a nice lady. If I show you the passenger manifest, I get fired.
Edmund: Ok, ok. I'll tell you what -- you get the list, ok? Get the list. Just -- why don't you just tell us if his name is on that list.
Alex: Could you do that?
Man: Let me get the list. What's this guy's name?
Alex: Marick. Dimitri Marick.
Man: Marick.
Man: Folks, I'm sorry. There is no one by the name of Marick here.
Alex: Oh.
Edmund: Check Andrassy.
Alex: Andrassy, yes.
Edmund: It's the family name.
Man: It's "Andra" what?
Edmund: A-n-d-r-a-s-s-y.
Man: Folks, your friend is not on this flight.
Alex: He could have maybe used my name.
Edmund: Or a pseudonym. Look, could I just please look at the list?
Man: No. I'm sorry, no.
Edmund: What do you want, another hundred bucks or something? Why don't you --
Alex: Edmund, please -- thank you very much for your help. Oh, dear.

Edmund: What a jerk.
Alex: No, it's not -- it's my fault. I started this whole thing. I don't know what I was thinking. I see someone that looks like Dimitri, and I go off the deep end. You believed me, though, didn't you?
Edmund: I wanted to.
Alex: Well, it was just my eyes playing tricks, you know. I mean, we both know in our hearts that it couldn't have been Dimitri because he's dead.

Wade: Leo. Have a seat. I was just getting to know your charming friend Greenlee.
Greenlee: Leo doesn't have any friends.
Leo: I'm the best friend you ever had. You just don't know it.
Greenlee: Get over yourself, du Pres. Why aren't you with Becca, holding hands and catching moonbeams?
Leo: Because I hated the way we left things.
Greenlee: We fought. You lost. That's because you're a loser.
Leo: You've got a hell of a lot more to lose than I do, Greenlee.
Greenlee: Who do you think you are?
Leo: The only guy in this world who gives a damn about you. Now, if you'll excuse us for a second, Wade, I need to talk to Greenlee
for a minute. Greenlee: Mind your own business, Leo. Why don't you buy us some drinks? I'll be right back.

Woman: What the --
[Woman screams]

Woman: Get out!
Second woman: What are you doing?
Greenlee: Don't panic, girls. He only looks like a man, but we need some privacy.
Woman: No kidding.
Second woman: Lock the door.
Leo: Why the hell did you drag me in here?
Greenlee: Because I didn't want Wade to overhear us. Leo: Oh, so you want to thank me for saving you from him?
Greenlee: I want to tell you to get lost -- for good.

Gillian: Ryan, please don't go to Chechnya. Please, I'm begging you. Please don't go. For me, please don't go.
Ryan: I'm not -- I'm not doing this to be a hero. Gillian, I'm doing this out of pure survival. If Jake chooses to stay in Chechnya, he may not make it out of there alive. And if he doesn't make it, then we're not going to make it. Do you understand? The guilt would kill us. Could you picture yourself being at Jake's funeral, standing beside Joe and Ruth? Could you handle knowing that you didn't do everything humanly possible to save their son?
Gillian: No.
Ryan: No. No, and then your premonition of you and I never being together would come true because the ghost of Jake would stand between us. You would be haunted by him. At least my way, at least we have a chance, a chance for our future.
Gillian: Go. But, Ryan, promise me you'll come back to me. Please. Because if you don't, I'll die.
Ryan: I'll be careful. I promise you I will be careful.



Singer: We're the same and you don't even know it we're afraid and we try not to show it and you're tired and I am, too so there's only one thing you can do you've got to hold me and tell me what you need don't be
Singers: Don't be afraid of what you're feeling when you know me singer: Then I'll never want to leave you singers: Just hold on to me hold on to me

Alex: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Edmund: Don't apologize.
Alex: No. Really, I mean, if you could've seen this man. He looked so much like Dimitri.
Edmund: That happened to me one time -- with Maria.
Alex: Mm-hmm.
Edmund: A couple years ago. I was walking down the street. And there was this woman walking in front of me. And I'm telling you, the resemblance was uncanny.
Alex: What did you do?
Edmund: I did what any, you know, sane person would do. I just ran down the street and screamed and yelled at her and grabbed her and turned her around. Of course it wasn't Maria. But she was very understanding, you know. She -- she was very nice. She -- she didn't call the police or press charges.
Alex: Logically I knew it wasn't Dimitri. But my heart just took over. You know, stranger things have happened. People have been blind their entire lives and then suddenly they get hit on the head and they can see. Or if someone's in a coma for years and then they wake up as though it were yesterday. Why wouldn't Dimitri walk back into our lives as though he'd never left? Because he won't.
Edmund: What if he had? What if Dimitri did come back?
Alex: Well, it wasn't him.
Edmund: But what if -- what would you have done?
Alex: Oh, I think I'd just run up to him, and I'd just throw my arms around him, and I would hug him so tight.
Alex: And then I'd come and find you, and I'd say, "look. Look who came back to us."
Edmund: You know, I was ready to jump on that plane and prevent it. I would've jumped on the wing. Just --
Alex: Well, I'm glad you didn't because I'd be bailing you out. Thanks for believing me, though.
Edmund: Hey. After what we've gone through the past few months, I think anything is conceivable.
Alex: I know why I imagined it was him. Because I'm so happy with you and the children. And I'm going to be your wife. And I don't think about him as much anymore. And I don't want his memory to fade.
Edmund: It's not going to fade. Do you hear me? We are not going to forget Dimitri. That's a promise.

Leo: I'm not leaving here until you tell me why you're schmoozing Wade Randall.
Greenlee: I told you -- it's none of your business.
Leo: And I told you he's bad news.
Greenlee: So are you.
Leo: The guy is a criminal, Greenlee.
Greenlee: Huh! You've had your run-ins with the law.
Leo: You're not hearing me. Wade does business with guys named No Neck and Fat Louie.
Greenlee: How colorful.
Leo: What are you messing with him?
Greenlee: He happens to be drop-dead gorgeous.
Leo: Well, I thought that you were still hung up on Ryan the wonderful. Please tell me that you're not using wade to make Ryan jealous. You do remember Kenny the pool boy -- you know, the nice young man who tried to rape you? That is nothing compared to what wade would do.
Greenlee: Please, Leo. I'm not that desperate.
Leo: Ok, so I'm not going to have to go looking for you and Wade stranded on some deserted island anytime soon? Ok. So it's -- it's not personal. It must be business -- a truly terrible thought.
Greenlee: I don't want to keep wade waiting.
Leo: Spill it. What are you up to?
Greenlee: It's not a big deal.
Leo: What -- big, small, what? What's the deal?
Greenlee: I approached Mr. Randall for a loan to cover a shortfall at incredibledreams.Com.
Leo: How much?
Greenlee: $3 million.
Leo: What? How short, Greenlee?
Greenlee: $3 Million.
Leo: Three million? Are you nuts, Greenlee? You borrow money from a guy like that and miss one payment, and he will chew your legs off!
Greenlee: No problem. By the time I repay Wade, the money will be back where it belongs.
Leo: Yeah, and you're going to end up waking up next to a horse's head -- which, I guess, beats waking up next to a horse's ass like Ryan.
Greenlee: Oh, you -- I hate you.
Leo: How did the company get $3 million in debt?
Greenlee: Ryan sort of borrowed it against future profits.
Leo: You mean he stole it?
Greenlee: He cut himself a loan.
Leo: Without authorization, Greenlee. That's -- that's stealing.
Greenlee: I don't see it that way. Mr. Midori found out, and he threatened to have Ryan arrested. I figure I'll put the money back and there won't be any trouble.
Leo: For whom?
Greenlee: Anybody. It'll be nice and tidy.
Leo: And in your warped little imagination, Ryan's going to be grateful that you saved him from a stretch in Statesville, right? Fall into your arms and declare his undying love, right?
Greenlee: It can happen that way.
Leo: You know what, Greenlee? Go. Borrow your money from the mob. I would rather see you swimming with the fish than spending one more moment of your life pining over Ryan.
Greenlee: You know, when I believe in someone, I don't write them off like a bad debt.
Leo: He has done everything but take out an ad, Greenlee. He is not falling in love with you. And if by some miracle he does, you would drop him like a hot rock.
Greenlee: Never!
Leo: You know that I'm right. You know it. As soon as you win Ryan, as soon as the chase is over, that's it. You're going to -- you're going to be bored spitless.
Greenlee: Never. Ryan is everything I've ever wanted. I love him.
Leo: Oh -- you know, of all the lies that you've told, Greenlee, that one is the most pathetic.
Greenlee: Shut up, Leo! If you hate me so much, why do you care what I do?
Leo: You know what? You're right. If you want to do business with the mob and risk your life for somebody who doesn't care less whether you live or die, go ahead. Knock yourself out, Greenlee. I don't give a damn.

Greenlee: Wade. I am so sorry to have kept you waiting. Now, where were we?
Wade: Look, before we enter into an agreement, tell me something -- is Leo your lover?
Greenlee: Leo? He's nothing but a royal pain in the rear.
Wade: So you have no feelings for him?
Greenlee: Nothing but revulsion. So, do we have a deal?
Wade: Well, if you agree to my terms.
Greenlee: I'm sure they're quite reasonable.
Wade: I took the liberty of writing them down while you were in the ladies' room.
Greenlee: May I?
Greenlee: Uh -- is this everything you want from me?
Wade: Well, if I think of something else, I'll be sure and let you know.

Edmund: Well, it's about time I get on that shuttle to DC.
Alex: How long are you going to be?
Edmund: Not long.
Alex: Ok. I'll miss you.
Edmund: I'll be back before you know it.
Alex: If you see anyone on the plane that you recognize --

[Edmund chuckles]

Edmund: I promise I won't make a scene.
Alex: No.
Edmund: Ok? Be all right?
Alex: Yeah.
Edmund: You seem a little --
Alex: No, I'm fine. Edmund --
Edmund: Yeah?
Alex: You know when you asked me what I would do if -- if that had been Dimitri, you know, come back to us? I don't want you thinking that I dream about him. My life is with you now.
Alex: So you'll call me when you get there?
Edmund: I love you, Alex.
Alex: And I love you, too. All right.

Man: I assume you have a ticket for this flight, yes?
Edmund: I'm postponing it, ok? Um -- just --

Edmund: Dixie? It's Edmund. Is -- is David there? Good. Have him stay put. I want to talk to him. It's about Dimitri.

Wade: Any questions?
Greenlee: No, it's pretty straightforward.
Wade: No fine print, no misunderstandings.
Greenlee: I appreciate that.
Wade: Now, I can have the money wired wherever you like in 24 hours.
Greenlee: That fast?
Wade: Sure. Speedy delivery is a part of the service.
Greenlee: I do have one question.
Wade: Fire away.
Greenlee: Why are you willing to do this for me? Like you said, we don't know each other.
Wade: Well, that's true. I got good feeling about you. And my gut is never wrong.
Greenlee: What if your gut makes a mistake? There's always a first time.
Wade: Well, then old Woody's good for the three mil, I bet.
Greenlee: You know my grandfather?
Wade: Only that he's loaded. So -- you going to sign? Think about it. That little piece of paper is a legal and binding document. Once you make your mark, we have an ironclad deal and there is no backing out. So the question you have to ask yourself is how bad do I want that money?

Ryan: In the meantime, I need somebody to take care of the company, somebody who knows what's going on, and I know how much the company means to you.
Greenlee: More than you can possibly imagine.
Ryan: So you'll help me out?
Greenlee: Sure.
Ryan: Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're a lifesaver.


Ryan: Gillian, you are the only woman that I will ever love, the only woman that I'll ever need. You have my word that I'll come back to you.


ON THE NEXT - - - - - ALL MY CHILDREN

Becca: Is this what you've been praying for?
Leo: Every night.

Stuart: Could Pine Valley be my home?

Adam: Mind if I join you?

Edmund: Is my brother's still alive? Did you lie to me? Tell me!
