ALL MY CHILDREN

AUGUST 7, 2000



David: You always think the worst of me, Alex.
Alex: Yeah, but I'm so very often right.
David: Fine. What is it that you think that I'm doing now?
Alex: I'm not sure. All right. Before Erica arrived and threw her little tantrum, you were saying that our relationship was bound to change because of this crisis that we're going through.
David: And that makes you suspicious?
Alex: Since we're not involved in anything vaguely resembling a crisis, frankly, yes, it did.
David: Maybe I overstated it. I meant that we were working on this Prion case together and I believe that we're at the point of making a medical breakthrough.
Alex: All right. So then when Erica got here and she was obviously troubled by the fact that we were out here alone together, she asked you to go with her and you didn't. You stayed with me. Why?
David: Give me some credit, Alex. I brought you here to get some fresh air. You were upset.
Alex: I didn't need you, David. She clearly did.
David: Erica needed what she always needs -- for me to drop whatever I'm doing to prove to her that she takes precedence in my life. I just refused to go another round.
Alex: Ah. So I was being used to help extricate you from this relationship with Erica. You know what? Break up with your girlfriend on your own time.
David: I'm not trying to break with up Erica. I love her. For your information, I asked her to marry me just a few days ago.
Alex: So you think that by refusing to do what she asks, you're going to make her less needy?
David: I'm trying to establish some boundaries with Erica, to make her realize that the world does not revolve around her.
Alex: I don't think you'll live long enough.
David: Very funny. I know she's demanding, and I would love to be able to give her everything I possibly can.
Alex: But?
David: But I simply cannot cater to Erica's every whim. I don't want that kind of a relationship. Is that the kind of relationship you have with Edmund?
Alex: No, of course it isn't.
David: And how about with Dimitri? Would you have twisted yourself into a pretzel for him?
Alex: If it could have saved his life, yeah, I would have.

Dixie: Say that again.
Dimitri: I'm going to fight this disease, and I want to live.
Dixie: Are you sure? Because if you do, you might actually have a chance at recovery.
Dimitri: From this moment on, Dixie, it's a go.
Dixie: Really? You're really ready to cooperate?
Dimitri: Let's get David in here right now.
Dixie: Ok. I'm going to go see if he's in his office.

Tad: After the fact, you go, "wait a minute. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Who is this for?"

[Music plays]

Mateo: Times like this I'm glad I own my own club.
Hayley: And why is that?
Mateo: Well, because I can take my wife out onto the dance floor -- my dance floor -- and I can make everyone jealous.
Hayley: Not that.
Mateo: And then when it's time to close up, I can send everybody home, except for my wife, and lock the door and then I can show her some of my best moves.
Hayley: You might not have happy feet for too much longer, Gaucho.
Mateo: Oh, no, baby. No, no, no. Not even polka music can get me down.
Hayley: All right, try this on.
Mateo: Uh-huh.
Hayley: I invited Arlene here today.
Mateo: Why? I mean, Hayley, this -- your dad bought her her own bar, a fully stocked bar where she can drown her sorrows there. Why does she have to come here?
Hayley: I know. I've got to keep up this charade like we're this big, happy family so I can keep tabs on my father.
Mateo: I thought you wanted to brainstorm about "Wave."
Hayley: I do.
Mateo: Well, you better be ready for input. She's going to give it to us.
Hayley: Let her. I've already got tremendous ideas about how to keep the younger audience interested, something that'll make the show really pop.
Mateo: Well, the only sound of the pop that you're going to be hearing is of the liquor bottles when your mom gets here. She's going to be popping them open, drinking with both hands.

Bianca: So, whose cell phone is this?
Greenlee: The cell phone belongs to Ryan Lavery. He said he was going outside to make a phone call, so why leave this behind?
Bianca: Beats me.
Greenlee: Unless he was not making a phone call.
Becca: Whoo!
Leo: Hey, Bianca. You having fun?
Bianca: Yes. I have taken on a new challenge. Greeny and I are getting to know each other.
Greenlee: It's Greenlee. Have you guys seen Gillian?
Becca: Last time I saw her, she was on her way to the bathroom.

Gillian: I don't know much about business, but I can't see how giving Greenlee stock in the company is going to get her out of your hair.
Ryan: Believe me, it will.
Gillian: Won't it just get her more involved? Like won't it entitle her to attend meetings and make decisions about incredibledreams.Com?
Ryan: I'm only going to give her a small, small sliver of the company. I mean, even though she didn't want to be partner, the guy who gave me the startup money for the company thinks I should acknowledge her contribution. So I give her this, and then she'll be out.
Gillian: Well, that just doesn't make sense to me. It's like giving a hamburger to a tiger. Won't it just make her hungrier for more?

[Door rattles]

Greenlee: Is anyone in here? Gillian, open up the door.
Gillian: It's Greenlee. Hide, hide, hide
Greenlee: Open up the door.
Gillian: It's Greenlee. Hide. Quick, quick, quick.
Greenlee: Gillian? Gillian, are you in there? Gillian, open up the door.
Gillian: Sorry.
Greenlee: Why was the door locked?
Gillian: Oh, it wasn't. See, this door has been sticking, and actually, the girl who was in here before me had to open up for me.
Greenlee: Have you seen Ryan?
Gillian: Ryan? No. Why?
Greenlee: There's something up with him. He said he had to make an important phone call, but he left his cell phone at the table.
Gillian: Well, maybe he has two cell phones. I mean, he is such a big shot and all.
Greenlee: No, no, no, he only has the one. I'm sure of it.
Gillian: Well, Greenlee, you're just going to have to solve this whole mystery all by yourself because worrying about where Ryan is, like, the last thing on my mind.
Greenlee: You can go. I'll unstick the door for the next girl who come in.
Gillian: Ow! Oh! Oh! Oh! There's something in my eye. Can you help me get it out?
Greenlee: Uh -- yeah.
Gillian: Oh.
Greenlee: You know, maybe you're right about Ryan being a big shot. Incredibledreams is taking off faster than we expected.
Gillian: Oh, that's -- really? That's great.
Greenlee: Yeah, yeah. It is for me. I don't see anything. I don't know if you heard, but Ryan's giving me a big chunk of the company.
Gillian: You're kidding.
Greenlee: Yeah, yeah, he just told me. He's making me one of the principal stockholders. I'm totally stoked.
Gillian: You know, Greenlee, with your background and everything, I'm really surprised that you're getting all excited about a few stocks.
Greenlee: But it's so romantic. I mean, just a few months ago, this company was just a glint in Ryan's eye. And I nurtured it, helped him flesh it out. We spent so many all-nighters together, just the two of us, talking, planning. Incredibledreams is really our baby.

Hayley: I can't get over it -- Bianca all grown up. And so gorgeous, too.
Bianca: Thank you. Congratulations on your wedding.
Mateo: Thank you very much.
Bianca: By the way, I wanted to tell you that I'm a huge fan of your show. It's the bomb.
Hayley and Mateo: The bomb!
Hayley: Oh, good.
Mateo: Since you're a fan, maybe you can help us out.
Bianca: Sure. With what?
Hayley: Show ideas. We're trying to think of, you know, what people would like to see done on the show. I mean, anything at all. Just let your mind go.
Bianca: Ok, well, if something should hit me, I will be sure to let you know.
Hayley: Great. Did you come here with your mom?
Bianca: I did. She was here before, but she had to take off. She had something to take care of.
Mateo: Well, listen, if you want me to introduce you to somebody --
Bianca: Oh, no, that's ok. I appreciate it. Actually, I'm here hanging out with my Mom's houseguest, Leo du Pres. Although he does look a little busy right now.

Becca: Come on. Come on, it's easy. Try it.
Leo: Like that? No?
Becca: Close. No. Ok, it's slow, quick, quick, slow, quick, quick -- come towards me -- slow --
Leo: I saw "Riverdance." Shouldn't be that hard.
Becca: It's a little bit different. This is the Cha-Cha. Slow, quick, quick, slow, quick, quick --
Leo: Oh, you are an incredible dancer, Becca.
Becca: Why, thank you.
Leo: Hey.
Becca: Slow --
Leo: That's your cue to tell me how good I am.
Becca: Oh. You're a unique dancer.
Leo: That means I'm hopeless.
Becca: No. No. If I can teach my brothers to dance, I can definitely teach you, ok? Just don't expect 'NSync to call, ok? Oh!
Leo: They should be so lucky.
Becca: Uh-huh.

Arlene: Hey, Mateo.
Mateo: Mom!
Arlene: Hi, Sweetie. What's with the glasses?
Hayley: Pinkeye.
Arlene: You know, you kids have got it made. Our joint never gets this lively. Even happy hour's like a wake.
Hayley: Mom, you remember Bianca Montgomery, Erica's daughter?
Arlene: Oh, how about that. I would never have picked you as Erica's daughter.
Bianca: Yeah, well, I take after my dad.
Arlene: Yeah, I guess. Oh, Sweetie, I'm so glad you called. I mean, managing Adam's bar is driving me stir-crazy, no pun intended.
Bianca: Is that Adam Chandler?
Arlene: I always forget that my husband is a celebrity. That's right, pumpkin, the Adam Chandler.
Bianca: Your husband?
Arlene: Mm-hmm. Oh, right. Well, your mother was married to him once, too.
Bianca: Twice, actually.
Arlene: I think my Adam has been -- well, he's the only person in Pine Valley who's been down that aisle more than Erica. And his marriages never lasted, either, until -- well, until now.

Dixie: Hey! What a surprise.
Tad: Hey, sweetheart!
Dixie: When did you get back from New York?
Tad: Oh, come to Poppy. Gorgeous, gorgeous. 10 Minutes ago. When I didn't get you on the phone at home, I figured I'd just have the driver drop us here.
Dixie: Oh, is everything ok? Did you talk to Jamie?
Tad: Yeah -- no. No, I talked to Brooke, I talked to Jamie. Everything is fine. Thank God he takes after his old man. It takes more than a baseball bat to put a dent in that thick skull.
Dixie: Yeah, can you believe that. How was your trip?
Liza: Oh, it couldn't have been better.
Tad: Oh, great, terrific.
Dixie: Oh, good. Was New York great? Did you have everybody at your feet?
Tad: Well, it certainly seemed like we had thumbs up everywhere we turned.
Liza: Mm-hmm, the architects have put aside all their plans and exclusively are working on Col-Mar tower.
Tad: You wouldn't believe it. The original developer ran out of funding right after they poured the foundation.
Liza: And we stepped it.
Tad: So, consequently, we're, like, two months ahead.
Dixie: Wow.
Liza: We've saved time, we've saved money.
Tad: It's perfect. And we're going to celebrate.
Liza: Yeah.
Dixie: Oh.
Tad: We're going to meet Frank, our contractor, over at S.O.S. You want to come?
Dixie: Oh, you know, I would love to, but I can't. I'm stuck.
Tad: Come on, why not?
Dixie: I -- David has a patient that's in a very vulnerable stage right now, and I just want to be here to help, you know?
Tad: Honey, last time I checked, you were an administrative assistant. You're not a nurse.
Dixie: Well, you'd be surprised how much a kind voice can help, especially where there's a team of doctors, you know, coordinating.
Tad: But this is really big, though. Come on.
Dixie: No, I --
Tad: Are you sure you can't, you know, get a candy striper to step in and come for us, just for a little while?
Dixie: No, I'm sorry, I can't. But you know what I'll do? I'll meet you there. I'll meet you there.
Tad: Ok.
Liza: We'll see you there.
Tad: All right.
Dixie: Yeah, I won't be long.

Dimitri: Come on. So, did you find him?
Dixie: No. He was not in his office.
Dimitri: Dixie, I really have to find him. I've got to let him know that I'm ready to do all that he asks of me.
Dixie: All right. Well, let's start making some calls.
Dimitri: Calls.
Dixie: Here's the telephone.
Dimitri: Yes.

David: I assure you, Alex, I'm not using you to influence my relationship with Erica one way or the other.
Alex: Well, I'm glad to hear it.
David: Yeah. All I need from you is your help with this Stanford case. Prion is your area of expertise, not mine. You know, it really has gotten cold for August. Maybe there's a storm coming in. Here.
Alex: No, no, no.
David: Come on, take it. It's dropped about 15 degrees since we've been out here. You know something? I'm going to go get a drink of water from the fountain. I'll be back in a minute.
Alex: Ok.
[Telephone rings]

Alex: Oh, David?

[Ring]

Alex: David -- hello? David Hayward's jacket.
Alex: Hello? Is someone there?
Dixie: Hello?
Alex: Hello?
Dixie: Oh -- Alex, hi. It's Dixie.
Alex: David! Hang on a sec. Oh, David --
David: Yeah?
Alex: It's Dixie. I answered for you. I hope you don't mind.
David: Oh. Yeah, no problem. Hello, Dixie?
Dixie: David, hi. It's Dixie. Listen, Dimitri wants to see you right away. He says he's ready go get actively involved in his recovery.
David: That's very good, Dixie. Thank you.

Alex: You have to go back to the hospital?
David: No. No, that was just Dixie. She was letting me know that she was leaving for the evening. I'm going to go try and track down Erica. I'm sure she's cooled down by now.
Alex: That's a very good idea.
David: You need a lift to the car?
Alex: No, thanks. I'm going to stay out here for a little longer.
David: All right. You don't need this?
Alex: No. You think we'll hear from Stanford again tonight?
David: Maybe in the morning. I wouldn't worry until then.
Alex: I can't help it. The case reminds me so much of Dimitri. You think he has a wife, a family?
David: The patient is 3,000 miles away, Alex, and we're merely consulting. I'll see you in the morning.
Alex: Ok.

Leo: I have to sit down. I can't take another Mambo, Cha-Cha, Merengue.
Becca: Oh, come on. We are just getting warmed up.
Leo: Oh, is that what you call it?
Becca: Uh-huh.

Liza: Oh, there's Frank.
Frank: Hey.
Liza: Hi.
Frank: You two don't mess around. I've never seen a project get off the ground as fast as this Col-Mar tower. You are a contractor's dream.
Liza: Yeah, well, when can you take over?
Frank: Well, how does tomorrow sound? I mean, there's still one permit I need to secure, but the steelworkers can get going right away. I can have crews of guys swarming all over that foundation by 10:00 A.M.
Tad: That's excellent. That's amazing.
Liza: Yeah.
Tad: Listen, do you have any idea how long each phase of the construction's actually going to take?
Frank: I've already roughed out a schedule. You want me to go over it with you?
Tad: Oh, by all means.
Frank: Ok.
Liza: Well, you know, before we get started, maybe we should have a toast to celebrate.
Tad: Good idea.
Liza: You want something?
Frank: Whatever's on tap sounds good to me.
Tad: Same for me.
Liza: Ok, coming right up.
Frank: Great.

Hayley: So, what's the word on Adam?
Arlene: Not a peep. I should never have let him go on that fishing trip. Take it from me, Sweetie, if you got a man on a leash, don't ever let him go sniffing around in the wilderness. I'll be right back.

Arlene: Ooh, ooh. I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. I was reading Adam's letter. Poor thing. He's written me every day since he's been gone. He must be lonely.
Liza: Well, he could always cuddle up to one of those dead trout of his. Beats what he has waiting for him at home.
Arlene: Well, not to hear him tell it.

"The scenery is beautiful, the fish are biting, but I miss you, Arlene, especially at night. I lie in bed thinking about our night in the hotel room in New York wrapped in the" --

Well, better stop there. Gets X-rated.

Greenlee: That Bianca seems laid-back, not at all like her mom.
Gillian: Yeah, I like her.
Greenlee: Hmm. Whatever. So, how's the Jake front? Have you heard anything about his whereabouts?
Gillian: No, and it's none of your business, Greenlee
Greenlee: All right. Pardon me for caring about your poor lost husband.
Gillian: Just forget it, ok? Bianca, no. It's broken.
Gillian: You shouldn't use that one. It's broken.
Greenlee: You're like the terminator of the bathroom, you know that, Gillian?
Bianca: It seems to be working now.
Gillian: Ok. I guess it was the other one, then.
Greenlee: If you see Ryan, will you tell him that I have his cell phone?

Bianca: The coast is clear.
Ryan: Thank you for not giving me away. I wish I could explain what I was doing in there, but I really can't.
Bianca: Well, no one will hear it from me.
Ryan: Could I ask you another favor?
Bianca: Sure.
Ryan: Do you have a pen?
Bianca: Yeah, I do.
Ryan: If I write a note, would you do me a favor and slip it to Gillian?
Bianca: Oh, sure.
Ryan: You, my dear, are an angel.
Bianca: Um -- one question. How do you intend to get out of here?
Ryan: Same way I came in.

Mateo: Aha!
Hayley: Aha!
Mateo: You guys looked good there, man. A little dangerous on the dance floor.
Leo: Becca was. I was just trying to keep up.
Hayley: The important thing, Leo, is that you're teachable.
Becca: Oh, he's definitely that.
Hayley: Hmm. Well, how would you like to put that to the test?
Becca: What do you mean?
Hayley: We, we were tossing around some ideas for "Wave." And how would you and Leo like to be a part of a really great show?
Becca: Us?
Leo: If you mean dancing live on television, you can forget it. I would never dance live on television.
Hayley: Guaranteed -- no dancing.
Mateo: Listen, it's going to be one of those reality-based shows about relationships.
Hayley: Yeah. You basically come on and talk about each other and yourselves and what you mean to each other. Very loose, very informal.
Mateo: And we have a panel of people about, you know, your age that -- they predict where your relationship is going, you know?
Leo: Well, Becca and I aren't even really considered a couple yet.
Hayley: That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what stage of the game you're in. The important thing is that it's a chance for people to talk about what makes a good relationship.
Leo: And what if your panel tells us to get as far away from each other as possible?
Mateo: Man, it's just an opinion. It's just their opinion. You don't have to listen to them.
Becca: It sounds like a really fun show, but I really don't want to do it.
Hayley: Oh, come on. Why not?
Becca: Well, with this web site thing, I've had enough of my laundry aired in the public lately.

Greenlee: Where have you been?
Ryan: I told you I had a phone call to make. But I was looking for a pay phone because my cell phone's missing, so -- I think someone stole it.
Greenlee: You mean this?
Ryan: Look at that. Where was that?
Greenlee: It was on the table. You're lucky to have me around.
Ryan: Yeah, very lucky.

Tad: Ryan.
Ryan: Tad.
Tad: Greenlee.
Greenlee: Hi.
Ryan: I thought you were in New York.
Tad: I was. We just got back. I wanted to let you know we're going to put the Col-Mar tower on the fast track, so that means you're going to be able to get a look at your office space sooner than anybody anticipated.
Ryan: Oh, that's great. We want to get in there as soon as we can.
Greenlee: See? I'm your good luck charm. You give me stock, things start happening.
Ryan: Yeah.
Tad: Liza and I are over there having a drink with our contractor if you want to stop by and say hello.
Ryan: I would. I would, but I got some more calls to make. When can I see the site?
Tad: Sometime this week.
Ryan: Ok. Thanks.

Greenlee: More calls, huh?
Ryan: Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, the web's open 24/7, and I'm on top it, thanks to you. I'll see you.

Liza: So, I guess if you come under the schedule, then Tad and I can probably come up with some sort of a bonus.
Frank: Oh, that'll be great.
Liza: So, are you married?
Frank: Divorced. You?
Liza: Same boat.

Bianca: Hey, Gillian, can I talk to you for a minute?
Gillian: Listen, I really wanted to apologize for what happened in the bathroom, that whole scene.
Bianca: Oh, no, no, no. Forget it. That Greenlee is some piece of work.
Gillian: Yeah. Yeah, she really works on my nerves. But thank you again.
Bianca: Oh, no problem. Listen, after you left, Ryan gave me this note for you.
Gillian: Oh. Thanks.

Dimitri: It's all right. It's not what you wanted to say. What you wanted to say was that I was cured, that you'd saved me, and all was well. Instead you had to tell me that we're on to plan b. And I'm sure it's a marvelous plan and it'll do really good and maybe there will be a plan c or d or whatever. It doesn't matter. What you have given me -- you know, my life was over when I came to you. I was planning to go to Vadsel and end it there. I was. I was. So this -- sitting here with you -- it's a miracle. But I don't -- I don't want you to be hurt any more. I don't want this to be harder on you. I'll find another doctor. I will leave the country.
Alex: You can't.
Dimitri: It's all right.
Alex: No, it's not. It won't help. Don't you see? You could go to Ethiopia. You could go to the end of the world, and I'd still stay awake at night worrying about you. I love you. It's too late. Don't you see? It's too late. Dimitri: It's not. It's not, Alex. It's just begun. It's just begun.
Alex: We had such little time together.


[Telephone rings]

Alex: Hello. Oh, hi, Edmund. Hi. How's Washington? Yeah? Did they ask you to run for Senate yet? Fools. Oh, nothing. I'm doing nothing. Missing you. When are you back? Oh good. I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah. It's good to hear your voice. I love you, too. Ok. Bye.

Dixie: Well, look what I have for you -- a doctor and some lab results.
David: So, Dixie tells me you've found some motivation.
Dimitri: David, I will finally do whatever you ask of me. Just make sure that it works because I want my life back.
David: That's good to hear. Let me see the lab results.
Dimitri: Is it good?
David: Extraordinary. Better than I had hoped.
Dimitri: All right. You're saying that if your therapy works, I'm going to live?
David: I'm saying that our chances are better than we had thought. But there is something that you need to agree to that you may not like.

Hayley: Easy, Liza. You're going to put out an eye.
Liza: I'll tell you what -- I'd like to poke somebody's eye out. Or something.
Hayley: Hmm. Arlene?
Liza: Oh, gee, how did you know?
Hayley: Relax. My mother can get anybody's blood pressure higher than three pounds of salt. I wouldn't worry if I were you, Liza. Whatever she's got going on with Adam -- and I doubt highly that it's marital bliss -- won't last too much longer. It'll end abruptly as soon as she starts cheating on him, which is bound to happen as soon as she sees a good-looking guy. Trust me. Her circuits melt. She can't help herself.
Liza: Yeah, you're right.
Hayley: Where are you off to?
Liza: I'm going to go see a man about a mission.

David: I would like to check you into a hospital so that we can administer the hormone therapy intravenously over the course of a few days.
Dimitri: That's it? Find a hospital outside of Pine Valley, and I'll do it.
David: Just like that?
Dimitri: Just like that.
David: All right, Dixie, what have you done to this man?
Dixie: Oh, don't look at me. But I agree, he hardly seems the same without the pigheadedness.
David: Why don't we set you up at Seaview.
Dimitri: Make the call.
David: Great. Dixie, you can go. I'm sure Tad is waiting.
Dixie: Well, I could stay. I mean, I could make the phone call, make sure that you get into Seaview tonight.
David: Yes, you could.
Dixie: Well, then I'll stay.
Dimitri: I'd like you to stay.
David: Thank you. That would speed things up.

Frank: I worked with him in an office complex --

[telephone rings]

Frank: Center City. The guy's a great architect.

Tad: Hello. Dixie, where are you?

Liza: A very attractive lady, isn't she?
Frank: I'm sorry. Was I being that obvious?
Liza: No, no. You should -- you should go over and talk to her.
Frank: Oh, no, no, no. No, not tonight. This is business.
Liza: Oh, Frank, business is over. Get your butt in gear. I insist.
Frank: All right.

Frank: Hello, beautiful. Would you let me buy you a drink?
Arlene: Why not? I could use something cold. It's suddenly gotten very hot in here.

Hayley: Ok, "Wave" crew, I have an announcement to make. Do not report to the studio tomorrow. Instead, go directly to Willow Lake, where WRCW and "Wave" and me are hosting a tremendous, beautiful barbecue at the beach.
Mateo: I already invited my whole staff. Just bring yourselves, the towels, some suntan lotion, and whomever floats your boat.
Hayley: And, Bianca, please feel free to come.
Bianca: Oh, I would love to, but I'm sure that my mom has something planned.
Hayley: Ok.

Leo: Free refills? Thank you. Sounds like fun, huh? I'll be sharing a towel with Becca. And how do you plan on tricking Ryan into coming? You going to club him over the head and drag him to the beach by his hair?
Greenlee: Enjoy your little frolic, Leo. I've got more important things to do, like running an internet empire.
Leo: Greens, the only thing you're running are mind games. And Ryan seems to be immune to them all.
Greenlee: Chew on this, cabana boy -- I've slept with Ryan. When you see Becca in her bathing suit tomorrow, it'll be the closest you ever see her with her clothes off.

Becca: Hey. Is she ok?
Leo: Well, actually, Greenlee's going through a terrible tragedy in her life right now -- somebody else is happy.

Ryan: Hey. You got my note.
Gillian: Yeah, Bianca was really sweet.
Ryan: Listen, I know it's dangerous for us to meet here like this, but I had to ask you -- in the bathroom, when Greenlee asked you about Jake, you really lost it.
Gillian: She keeps throwing Jake in my face, and I can't stand it.
Ryan: No, I know, but did Joe say anything to you about Jake to make you so upset?
Gillian: No. No, it's not him. Ryan, I just feel like such a fraud. I was sitting in this very park and he poured his heart out to me. He's so worried about his son.
Ryan: I know it's rough on him.
Gillian: He totally thinks that I'm madly in love with Jake. And I do love him, but not the way Ruth and Joe think I do. I just feel like such a hypocrite.
Ryan: I'm sorry, Princess.
Gillian: I came this close to telling Joe everything. Should I? Is it right to keep the truth from him this way?

Becca: Butter Almond, I guess.
Leo: Yeah?
Becca: What about you?
Leo: I guess I would have to go with Rum Raisin, definitely.
Becca: Really?
Leo: Mm-hmm. Becca: I would have taken you for a chocolate cappuccino frappuccino concoction.
Leo: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Finally. Finally, a song that I can dance to. Come on.

Hayley: We have got to get them on "Wave."

Arlene: I love the name Frank. Strong, direct. It suits you.
Frank: Arlene. That's a pretty name. Is that southern?
Arlene: [Southern accent] ooh. I declare. How observant you are.
Frank: See?
Arlene: [Normal voice] except that I'm from the south side of Chicago. Although I've always depended on the kindness of strong, handsome strangers.
Frank: Well, hopefully I won't be a stranger for too long.
Arlene: A smooth talker, too.
Frank: Would you care to dance, Arlene?
Arlene: I would love to. Wait. Hold on one second.
Arlene: You know, Frank, I got to pass on that dance. I'm sorry. See, I'm married. And in a town like this, that means that everybody's watching all the time. But luckily I'm a lot smarter than those people.

Ryan: Listen, the last thing that Joe needs to hear right now is the truth about us. It's just going to make everything worse.
Gillian: Well, he's going to hate me when he does find out.
Ryan: I know, but you can't tell him anything. You have to wait and break it to Jake first.
Gillian: Joe has just been so kind to me. He's treated me like a daughter. And, Ryan, that feels wonderful. I really wish I had a father like Joe.
Ryan: I wish I had a father like Dr. Martin, too.
Gillian: I just -- I just can't stand this anymore. It's driving me crazy. I just want it to be over.
Ryan: Me, too. Me, too, me, too. I wish there was something I could do to make it easier, believe me.
Gillian: I should go.

Dixie: Thank you very much. Ok, Seaview has a private room arranged for you, and Dr. Silbert will be waiting at the emergency room in a half an hour.
David: Excellent. We'll take my car. I think you're going to be very glad that you decided to do this, Dimitri.
Dimitri: David, I want you to know that either way this turns out, I want to thank you.
Dixie: Are you sure that you don't want to call Alex first?
Dimitri: Dixie, you know, I couldn't have done this without you, the encouragement that you've given me. But please, let's not talk about that.
David: I'll respect your wishes about this, Dimitri. But Dixie has a point. Letting Alex know would certainly simplify matters.
Dixie: Yeah, and it could be good for you -- for both of you -- make things easier.
Dimitri: I don't have the strength in me to handle all of this. Not yet.
Dixie: Well, how about when you do have the strength? Are you going to see her then
