ALL MY CHILDREN

AUGUST 28, 2000



Gillian: I'm going to Chechnya with you.
Ryan: That's impossible. It's all planned.
Gillian: I'm going to go home, pack my stuff. I'll meet you back here in an hour.
Ryan: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wait, wait, wait. What are you talking about?
Gillian, this isn't some sort of luxury tour, ok? There's not going to be any in﷓flight movies or five﷓star hotels in this place.
Gillian: I can handle it.
Ryan: The only place you're going is home to bed. Ok? We're landing in a battle zone, Gillian. It's too dangerous for you.
Gillian: I can help you.
Ryan: How? How can you help me? The whole time, I'll be concerned about you. We'll blow the whole mission.
Gillian: How do you know Jake's going to listen to you and Adrian?
Ryan: Well, I'll worry about that when we find him.
Gillian: Adrian's contact tried, and so did Tad. He wouldn't listen. Well, maybe ﷓﷓ maybe ﷓﷓ maybe I can get through to him. Maybe he'll listen to me. Ryan, I'm still his ﷓﷓
Ryan: His wife? I know. Listen, Gillian, we will bring him back. Ok? If we have to tie him up and take him against his will, we'll bring him back. You're not getting on that plane.
Gillian: Ryan, you listen to me. I'm not going to sit here waiting, wondering whether you are alive or not. I'm afraid that if I let you go that I might lose you forever.
Ryan: I'm going to come back to you, Princess. I promise you.
Gillian: Ryan, how can you make such a promise?
Ryan: Because ﷓﷓ because of this.

Greenlee: Just give me five minutes. Give me two minutes. Two minutes.

Mateo: Give it up for Becca Tyree and Leo du Pres!
Hayley: Come on, guys. Show us that swing.

[Applause]

Mateo: What, did they get stage fright?
Hayley: Looks like Leo has one too many partners.

Becca: Come here, come here. Leo ﷓﷓ Leo! Leo, just deal with Greenlee, ok?
Leo: What about our number?
Becca: I will talk to Hayley and Mateo and ask them to put up the next couple, ok?
Leo: All right.

Hayley: What is going on? Are you all right?
Becca: Yeah, yeah, everything's fine. Leo ﷓﷓ he just needs a few minutes. You think you could put up the next couple?
Hayley: Yeah. We'll put you up last.
Becca: Ok. Thanks.

Mateo: All right, guys, we're moving on. Please welcome to the dance floor couple number five, Mark and Keira Cline.

[Swing music plays]

Bianca: Becca, Tiffany and I saw Greenlee glomming onto Leo. What's up with that?
Becca: I don't know. What's always up with Greenlee?
Bianca: Well, I mean, are you guys going to pull out of the dance contest or something?
Becca: No. No. We're not at all.
Bianca: Well, I mean, do you want me to go and get Leo away from her? I mean ﷓﷓
Becca: No. No, no, no. I ﷓﷓ I want to see how he handles her.

Greenlee: Leo, take mercy. I really need your help.
Leo: Call 911, Greenlee.
Greenlee: No, you don't understand. I've never been in this deep.
Leo: Oh, cut the melodrama, would you?
Greenlee: I am not exaggerating. I messed up big time.
Leo: Yeah, and you've messed up with me and Becca for the last time. I am sick of you screwing with us!
Greenlee: This isn't about you and Becca.
Leo: Well, of course not. It's about you. Isn't it always?
Greenlee: I'm scared, Leo. I have no one else to turn to.
Leo: Oh ﷓﷓ your lip's quivering, your eyes are pouting. I almost believe you, Greenlee. Too bad it's not as convincing as your opal impression. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some jitterbugging to do.

Becca: Hey. You ready to swing?
Leo: I am going to destroy the dance floor.
Becca: Ok.

[Telephone rings]

Greenlee: Please do not let this be Wade. Hello? Grandmother ﷓﷓ grandmother, slow down. What's wrong? Tell Gramps I'm on my way. I'll meet you at the Pine Valley Hospital.

Dixie: So, what is it you want to do tonight? You know that's illegal in about three states? Stop it. You're making me blush. Well, yeah, I'd like to, too, but I won't do it on an empty stomach. Well, that sounds nice. You got it. A late﷓night dinner a deux at S.O.S.

David: Ahem.
Dixie: Ok. I'll see you later. I love you. Bye﷓bye. Sorry. I didn't hear you come in.
David: Personal call?
Dixie: That was Tad.
David: No kidding.
Dixie: Well, you were in surgery forever. I hope the patient looks better than you.
David: He bled out twice during the valve replacement. It's going to be touch﷓and﷓go for a while.
Dixie: Well, you look exhausted. Why don't you go home?
David: I can't. I have to monitor the patient throughout the night. But you go. Go ahead. Enjoy your date. One of us in this office should have a life.
Dixie: Can I do anything for you before I go?
David: No. Well, actually there is something, but ﷓﷓ never mind.
Dixie: No, it's all right. I don't have to go right this second. What is it?
David: Oh, no, no, no. It's ok. Go ahead. Just enjoy your evening.
Dixie: David, spit it out.
David: My shoulders are killing me.
Dixie: The doctor admits a weakness.
David: You know, no, it's ok. Look, don't worry about it.
Dixie: Shut up. Turn around.
David: I'll take care of it.
Dixie: Just don't get too used to this, ok?
David: Ah.
Dixie: I don't want you to think of this as part of my job description.
David: Oh, how about if I triple your salary?
Dixie: Hey. That sounds good. Can I get that in writing?
David: Oh.
Dixie: Oh, sorry. There's a knot back here the size of New Jersey.
David: Yeah, no kidding.
Dixie: How do you live with all this tension?
David: I relax too much, I lose. Story of my life.
Dixie: Sounds like a pretty horrible life.
David: Well, it's worked so far.
Dixie: Has it?
David: You have any suggestions?

[Pager beeps]

David: Woodruff Greenlee was just brought in. I got to check on him.
David: Thanks.

Alex: Is David here?
Dixie: No, he just went to check on a patient. What's wrong?
Alex: This is the same medication that he gives his Prion patient in Palo Alto. What was it doing at Wildwind?
Dixie: You found that medication at Wildwind?
Alex: Yeah ﷓﷓ no. Stella did. I ﷓﷓ how did it get there?
Dixie: I don't know. Can I have David call you?
Alex: Is he coming back?
Dixie: He has to monitor a patient tonight, so he should be back.
Alex: Right, then I'll wait.
Dixie: Could I ﷓﷓ can I get you something?
Alex: No, thanks. No.
Dixie: Well, why don't you sit down for now.
Alex: No.
Dixie: Listen, I'm sure David is going to be able to explain how that medication got at Wildwind.
Alex: Yeah, probably. But what about the rest?
Dixie: The rest?
Alex: Dimitri. He's everywhere. I mean, he could be David's case study. I know he isn't, but he could be. I thought I saw him at the airport. I know I didn't. And now the medication that could have saved his life ﷓﷓ it turns up on his property. How? Dimitri's dead. I'm going to marry his brother. I love Edmund. But I keep thinking about Dimitri. I feel him. I feel him. I thought I'd come to terms with his death. But he haunts me. And why? Why? I mean, why is this happening now? I don't know what to do. I really ﷓﷓

[Swing music plays]

Hayley: Fabulous! All right. Let's bring out our final couple.
Please welcome Mr. Leo du Pres and Ms. Becca Tyree.

Greenlee: Gramps! Gramps? Oh, my God. Oh.
Woodruff: Oh.
Greenlee: Are you ok? What happened?
Woodruff: Oh, I'm fine.
Greenlee: Is he?
David: Your grandfather had an angina attack, Greenlee. I gave him some oxygen, ran an EKG and everything checked out. All he needs is some rest.
Greenlee: Well, can he come home?
David: As long as your grandmother's finished with administration.
Woodruff: Well, let's go.
David: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, Cowboy. Not so ambitious, all right? I still have to refill your prescription for nitro, and then I'll come back. And by the way, next time you feel pain, even the slightest amount of pain, take the nitro. I don't want to see you back in here again.

Greenlee: How could you scare me like that? When grandmother called, I thought I was having a heart attack.
Woodruff: You didn't need to come down here. Hospital is no place for a beautiful young woman.
Greenlee: Are you kidding? I had to see you. If I lost you, I don't know what I'd do.
Woodruff: I'm not going anywhere. Of course, that humorless Dr. Hayward insisted I give up eating truffles with you and stop overdoing it at the office.
Greenlee: Well, why don't you take a vacation? I mean, you mentioned that cruise. It's the perfect time of year.
Woodruff: I'd miss my granddaughter too much.
Greenlee: I'm so worried about you.
Woodruff: No, let me worry ﷓﷓ about you.
Greenlee: Me?
Woodruff: Yeah, you seem so ﷓﷓ I don't know, so troubled. I want you happy.
Greenlee: I am. Really.
Woodruff: Yeah?
Greenlee: Hey, why don't we stop by the store and pick up some herb tea, some magazines?
Woodruff: Ah.
Greenlee: Prunes? Anything you want.
Woodruff: No, no. All I want is for you to take care of yourself. That would be the best medicine for me.

David: All right. Everything checks out. Here you go. Your wife is waiting for you at reception.
Woodruff: Mm﷓hmm.
Greenlee: I'm taking you home, Grandaddy.
Woodruff: Absolutely not. No. All I'm going to do is sleep. Your grandmother can take very good care of me. She's had 50 years of practice.
Greenlee: All right. Well, sleep well. See you in the morning?
Woodruff: Yeah. Ok.

Greenlee: What are you doing here?
Wade: Well, I came as soon as I heard. How's your grandfather?
Greenlee: Did you do something to him?
Wade: Of course not.
Greenlee: Then how did you know he was here?
Wade: What matters is that your grandfather is all right.
Greenlee: Just stay away from him.
Wade: Greenlee, I am just as anxious that Woody recovers as you are. That's why I'm willing to wait on our business and our golf until he's feeling up to par.
Greenlee: My grandfather will never play golf with a mobster.
Wade: I am a legitimate businessman. And you are my client, which is proof for anyone who's asking, isn't it?
Greenlee: I wish to God it wasn't.
Wade: Hey, you want out? Just pay me what you owe me ﷓﷓ three million plus interest plus a prepayment penalty, of course.
Greenlee: You know I can't do that. The money's tied up in incredibledreams.com.
Wade: Well, then it's settled. I look forward to teeing off with you and your grandfather when he recovers. Don't look so worried. I guarantee this will be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. I'll be in touch.

Greenlee: Oh, God, what am I going to do? I've got to tell Ryan.

Ryan: You are my life, Gillian. Nothing can stop me from coming home to you and our future together. Nothing.
Gillian: I wish I could believe that.
Ryan: Hey, believe it.
Gillian: Ryan, anything could happen. There are land mines, snipers.
Ryan: Which is exactly why you can't come with me. Ok? We're going to find Jake and we're going to bring him back so you and I can be free together.
Gillian: I just can't sit here while you're risking your life.
Ryan: Well, you can ﷓﷓ you can help.
Gillian: How?
Ryan: Be safe. Help the Martins, make them feel better. Help your grandmother.
Gillian: Keep the home fries burning?
Ryan: Yeah. The home fries. Will you do that for me?
Gillian: I just wish I could help you. And I can't do that from here. Ryan, I love you too much to lose you.
Ryan: And I love you too much to die, which means I'm coming home to you. And I'm going to bring Jake so we can tell him about us. Ok? And we can live our life the way we're ﷓﷓ we're supposed to live it ﷓﷓ together. You have to trust me. You've got to trust me, Gillian. Will you trust me?

Ryan: Um ﷓﷓ you all done?
Adrian: Yeah. The car's all packed up. I've already talked to the pilot. He's waiting for us at the airstrip.
Ryan: Well, looks like that's my boarding call. You going to be ok?
[Telephone rings]

Adrian: Sword here. Yeah. Ok, what's the program? All right. Yeah, I got it. Airstrip outside of Nicholson. Ok, cool. We're on our way. I'll meet you in the car. Bye, Gillian.
Gillian: Be safe, Adrian.

Ryan: I love you.
Gillian: I love you, too.
Ryan: I guess ﷓﷓ I guess we should be saying our good﷓byes here.
Gillian: No more good﷓byes.
Ryan: I never really could say good﷓bye to you.
Gillian: We never have, and we never will.
Ryan: You're going to be with me the whole time, Princess, in my thoughts, in my heart.

Greenlee: They've been together this whole time. He made me believe he was over her. I never had a chance damn you, Ryan! How could you?

Dixie: Here.
Alex: Oh, thank you. I'm sorry. You must think I'm crazy.
Dixie: No, I don't.
Alex: I don't know. I feel like this medication is a sign or ﷓﷓ I mean, I know that it's just a bottle of pills. There has to be a rational explanation.
Dixie: There is an explanation.
Alex: You're just humoring me before you send for the men in white coats.
Dixie: You're not crazy. I promise.
Alex: Then what? You know something? Dixie, what? What?
Dixie: The medication? It's Dimitri's.
Alex: But he's dead

David: Good evening, Alex. Getting a late start on the workday? You look upset. What's wrong?
Alex: Stella found these at Wildwind. She gave them to me.
David: I was wondering what happened to these. Thanks.
Alex: How did they get there?
David: I dropped them.
Alex: Well, when?
David: When the Stanford Prion patient started responding so well to the therapy, I got excited and I raced over to Wildwind to tell you, but you weren't there. So I waited, toured the grounds, and I must have dropped these out of my pocket.
Alex: Why didn't you tell me?
David: I didn't think it was that important. I thought the important part was the patient's breakthrough, which I told you immediately when you came to the office. The rest I felt was irrelevant. Don't worry, Alex. I will warn you next time I stop over, ok?
Alex: Dixie said the medication was Dimitri's.
David: Well, Dixie means well, but she gets carried away sometimes.
Dixie: David, stop it. Just tell her the truth.
Alex: Tell me the truth about what?

Mateo: S.O.S. Is proud to present the swingingest couple in town. Here we go. The winners are ﷓﷓
Hayley: Leo du Pres and Becca Tyree!
Hayley: Congratulations.
Mateo: And the second place winners ﷓﷓ let's hear it for ﷓﷓
Hayley: Mike and Marcia!
Mateo: And third place goes to ﷓﷓
Hayley: Tiffany and Craig!
Hayley: Yes! Yes!

Bartender: You don't look so hot.
Greenlee: Everyone's a critic. Give me a double vodka, no fruit, no rocks.
Bartender: Rough day?
Greenlee: I'm three mill in the hole, my grandfather's about to be trashed because of me, and I've just been played for a sucker in love.
Bartender: Bad luck.
Greenlee: Just another day in the life. Hit me again.

Hayley: And now our winning couple will celebrate a victory dance, so let's hear it for Leo and Becca.

[Music plays]

Becca: I told you that you could do it.
Leo: You were right. It's not about the technique, it's about the passion. I could get used to this, Becca.
Becca: What, dancing?
Leo: No, looking into your eyes. Why don't we go someplace more private.

Greenlee: Whoo! Come on, everybody! Join me in a toast from the big loser to the lucky couple.
Hayley: Mateo, catch her!
Leo: Greenlee?
Leo: You better sit down, Greenlee.
Greenlee: I'll take another one.
Mateo: Cut her off.
Greenlee: Don't be stingy.
Mateo: All right, coffee and water, that's all you're getting. Sit down.

Becca: Leo?
Leo: Becca, I'm so sorry. Come here. I don't know what's going on with Greenlee, but I can't just blow her off.
Becca: She looks pretty bad. Is it for real?
Leo: Yeah. You mind if I spend a few minutes with her?
Becca: Go ahead.
Leo: Look, I meant what I said. I want to be alone with you, but I have to settle down Greenlee and find somebody to give her a ride home. Then the rest of the night is just for us. Ok?
Becca: You're a good friend. I hope she appreciates it.

Greenlee: Come on, Mateo. Just one.
Mateo: You were standing on my bar. You just fell off ﷓﷓
Leo: I'll take it from here, Mateo.
Greenlee: You'll buy me one more drink, won't you?
Mateo: Good luck.

Hayley: She's drunk.
Mateo: Don't worry. We won't be serving her here again.
Hayley: Yeah, no, not here. She'll just go someplace else.
Mateo: It's not your problem.
Hayley: You know, she reminds me of the way I used to be back when I thought, you know, liquor was the answer to all my problems. I hope she wises up a lot sooner than I did.
Mateo: Well, looks like she's got a friend in Leo. At least for tonight.
Hayley: Yeah. Between Greenlee and Becca, that boy's doing double duty.
Mateo: Wasn't Greenlee, like, trying to beat him up on your show? Why's he helping her out?
Hayley: I don't know. You tell me.
Mateo: You think something's going on between them?
Hayley: Take a look. What do you think?

Greenlee: What are you trying to do, drown me?
Leo: Sobering you up would be a start. What's going on?
Greenlee: Like you care.
Leo: Come on.
Greenlee: I thought you were mad at me because I hurt your itsy﷓bitsy, little feelings.
Leo: Don't push it, all right? Eat something and tell me what's going on, Greenlee.
Greenlee: I can take care of myself.
Leo: You just fell off the bar. You can barely sit in your chair. Now, what's got you like this?
Greenlee: Chip?
Leo: The faster you tell me, the quicker I can talk you out of whatever you're about to do.
Greenlee: So you can get back to dirty dancing with Beccette the Rockette? Gee, the turnip doesn't fall far from the truck, now, does it?
Leo: Give it a rest, Greenlee.
Greenlee: You know what? You're right. I need to give it a rest. From money and men and ﷓﷓ I'm out of here.
Leo: No, no, no. You're not going anywhere.
Greenlee: What are you doing?
Leo: You're not driving. Sit.
Greenlee: Better than swimming with the sharks.
Leo: Is that what this is about? The deal you made with Wade?
Greenlee, I warned you about him.
Greenlee: Why didn't you warn me about Ryan?
Leo: Ryan?
Greenlee: He's been cheating on me, Leo. For months.
Leo: You were never with him, Greenlee.
Greenlee: All that sweet talk, letting me think he really cared about me ﷓﷓ it was just a game. He was using me. And now he's got me taking care of his precious company. I bet he and Gillian have been laughing about me this whole time.
Leo: Ryan and Gillian?
Greenlee: I put everything on the line for him. Everything. He has no idea what I've done for him. And you know what? I'm not going to let him get away with it.
Leo: Just forget about him.
Greenlee: Yeah, I will.
Leo: Forget about him.
Greenlee: I will. But I'm not going to let him forget about me.

Alex: Tell me what truth? What about Dimitri?
David: Dixie's right. This medication is Dimitri's ﷓﷓ or rather it would have been. Unfortunately, he died before I could treat him.
Dixie: David ﷓﷓
David: I was hoping to spare you any more pain, Alex. But now that Dixie has brought it up ﷓﷓ I was planning on suggesting that we treat Dimitri with this hormone therapy, but when I arrived at Seaview, he had already disappeared.
Alex: Why didn't you tell me this?
David: Because I didn't want to upset you with the possibility that this treatment could have saved his life. I confided in Dixie, and I expected her to hold that confidence.
Alex: I can't deal with this. I can't.

Dixie: Alex, wait. Stop it. Let go of me. How dare you do this. How dare you. She has a right to know.
David: And then what? Everybody lives happily ever after?
Dixie: They could. How would you know? You don't even know what happiness is. All your life, you make these selfish, selfish decisions. Can't you just for once in your life do the right thing?
David: I have a responsibility to my patient.
Dixie: That is a stupid, convenient excuse.
David: I'm doing what's best for everybody concerned, Dixie.
Dixie: Oh, like you did for Leo? Well, look how good that turned out. Alex and Edmund and Dimitri have a right to make their own informed decisions about their lives. Don't steal from them the chance to make the life that they want.
David: You are being so naive.
Dixie: And you ﷓﷓ I don't understand how you can act like this. Every time I have hope for you, you act this way.
David: Yeah, well, maybe you expect too much from me, Dixie.
Dixie: Maybe you are a selfish, little, mean control freak who just wants everybody to be as miserable as you.

[Telephone rings]

Dixie: Andrassy Foundation.

Dimitri: Dixie?
Dixie: Dimitri, I'm so glad it's you. Listen to me. Alex was just here ﷓﷓
David: Give me this. Dimitri?
Dimitri: David, what's wrong? Dixie sounds upset. Has something happened with Alex?
David: Alex is fine. I'm worried about you. Where are you?
Dimitri: The Hunting Lodge.
David: You're back from Europe.
Dimitri: For the moment, yes.
David: How are you feeling?
Dimitri: Not hot. Not so hot. Silbert's IV treatment is still working, but somehow I lost that bottle of meds you gave me.
David: Yeah, yeah. Listen, missing one dose could compromise your therapy, your recovery. I want you to get to my office as soon as you can.
Dimitri: No way. The chance of running into Alex is too great.
David: Alex has already left.
Dimitri: I'm sorry. I am not going to take the chance of running into her.
David: Dimitri, you don't have a choice. The longer you are off the protocol, the more damage you can do.
Dimitri: I know that. And I'm not coming in.
David: All right, fine. Just wait right there. I'll be at the Hunting Lodge. I'll be back.

[Pager beeps]

David: Great. I got to get to recovery.
Dixie: Then go, all right? Go. I'll call Dimitri and tell him that you're running behind.
Dixie: I hate this. I hate this.
Alex: What do you hate, Dixie?
Dixie: Alex, I thought you left.
Alex: I wanted David to think that.
Dixie: Why?
Alex: Because you two are keeping something from me.
Dixie: I'm sorry. I said too much.
Alex: This is killing you. I can see it in your face. Please, Dixie. Please. Tell me what you know.
Dixie: Go to the Hunting Lodge. The Hunting Lodge. Go. Now

Mateo: All right! Thanks for showing up tonight. Stick around. The food's on the house, so chow down.
Leo: Hungry?
Becca: I thought we were going to go someplace more private.
Leo: Yeah, we are, but ﷓﷓ you know, with the contest and everything, I forgot that I had to run an errand for Erica.
Becca: Now?
Leo: I know. It's crazy, huh? But if I don't do it, she's going to have my head, so ﷓﷓
Becca: I'll go with you.
Leo: No, no, just stay here, have something to eat. I'll be back in 20 minutes tops. I promise. Ok?

Bianca: Are you and Leo done celebrating your win already? Where's he going?
Becca: To Greenlee.

Greenlee: Ryan? Are you back?
Greenlee: You liar. I love you. I would have done anything for you. Oh! How could you do this to me? You're not going to get away with this.
Greenlee: You like splashy good﷓byes? I'll give you a good﷓bye you'll never forget.

Adrian: Hey, we ready to go?
Pilot: We're all set.
Adrian: What's with all these extra boxes?
Pilot: Hey, the cargo payload wasn't big enough to handle all your supplies.
Ryan: So much for traveling light, huh?
Pilot: Hey, you guys better get strapped in. We're going to take off in a few.
Adrian: Ok.
Ryan: You're with me, Gillian. You're with me.

[Knock on door]

Ryan: What was that?

Dimitri: Turn around. Pretend you never saw me.

Dixie: You don't understand anything about love, about feelings ﷓﷓
