Leo: So, how'd the sweep
of the malls go?
Laura: Great.
You want to see what I got?
Leo: Ah -- maybe later.
I think you should probably take
a nap, don't you think?
Laura: Leo, is my timing off?
Leo: No, I just -- you know,
after a full day of shopping
and maxing out credit cards,
I thought that maybe -- I don't
know -- I thought you might need
some rest.
Laura: Is that what you're
worried about -- my wild
spending habits?
My mom wanted to spoil me.
Leo: Yeah, well, I want
to spoil you.
Laura: Well, soon we'll spoil
each other.
My mom told me she offered
you a job at "Tempo."
You going to take it?
Leo: Yeah.
Entry level assistant --
whatever that is.
Laura: You know, if it
doesn't sound right,
she'll understand.
You know, I don't think it'll
hurt her feelings if you don't
want to --
Leo: Laura, I took the job,
ok?
My decision.
Nobody forced me into it.
Laura: Ok.
As long as you're sure it's what
you want to do.
Leo: I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to snap.
Laura: It's ok.
Leo: No, it's not.
I'm -- I'm -- I'm excited to be
working for your mom.
I get to learn a lot about
magazines, the power
of the press and whatnot.
It'll be an adventure, right?
Maybe I can become a restaurant
critic or something.
Laura: Leo, if I ask
you something, will you be
honest with me even if you think
it'll hurt my feelings?
Where'd you go last night?
Greenlee: I'm sorry, Bianca,
but now is not the best time for
a girlfriend-to-girlfriend
moment.
And since we're not girlfriends,
you won't mind if I blow
you off.
Bianca: This is important,
Greenlee.
Greenlee: So is my job.
If I'm late back from lunch,
your mother will send me
to the file room for a week.
Bianca: So I'll write
you a note.
Greenlee: My. Aren't we intense.
Are we here on a mission?
Bianca: I just came
from seeing Laura.
Greenlee: Ticker still
ticking away?
Bianca: Her heart is fine,
but her marriage is in trouble.
Greenlee: Why tell me?
Bianca: Because you're
the problem.
Greenlee: So Laura sent
you over here to scratch my eyes
out by proxy?
Bianca: Laura has no idea
that I'm here.
Greenlee: Ah.
You just took it upon yourself
to stick your honker where it
doesn't belong.
Bianca: Leo is a friend
of mine.
Greenlee: Then waste
his time, not mine.
Bianca: Leo and I aren't
so close anymore.
Greenlee: I can't say
I'm surprised.
You lost the toss for Laura.
Bianca: You know, he truly
cares for her.
Greenlee: You don't have
to sell me.
I spent the afternoon listening
to Leo sing his wife's praises.
She's pure.
She's fine.
She's like morning dew on rose
petals.
I needed a shot of insulin when
he was done.
Bianca: He cares for her,
but he is in love with you.
And you're in love with him.
Greenlee: Was.
Here's the update.
I gave Leo one last chance
to make work with me,
but he opted out, chose
the early retirement plan
with St. Laura by his side.
Bianca: He chose her for all
the wrong reasons.
Greenlee: Whatever
the reasons, Leo has moved on,
and I've followed his act.
My conscience is crystal clear.
I'm not going to mess up Leo's
perfect marriage.
Bianca: Why not?
Greenlee: "Why not?"
Bianca: If you love Leo,
then why aren't you fighting
for him, trying to get him back?
Erica: So send my best
personal regards -- oh,
and enclose my new signed
glossy.
[Knock on door]
Brooke: Erica?
Erica: Oh.
Brooke: I'm -- I'm sorry
if I'm interrupting.
Erica: No.
No, no, no, Brooke.
Really, we were just about
to take a break, weren't we,
Val?
Brooke: Are you sure?
Erica: Absolutely.
This answering my fan mail --
this is a full-time job with me.
I mean, you know that I answer
everything myself personally.
Brooke: Very commendable.
Erica: Thank you.
Ok, Val, we'll just -- we'll
finish this batch later.
Val: Should I hold
your calls?
Erica: Yes, please, please.
Thank you.
Ok.
Ok, so, what can I do for you,
Brooke?
Brooke: First of all, I want
to thank you, you know, for all
the help and support that you've
given Laura and me these past
few months.
Erica: Oh, no thanks
necessary.
How is Laura?
Brooke: Physically she's --
she's getting stronger every
day.
Erica: Brooke, you hinted
on the phone that there was
a problem.
In the form of Greenlee Smythe?
Brooke: Yes.
Erica, I think you're well aware
that Laura's had more than
her share of bad breaks,
and she does not deserve any
more.
Erica: Are you saying that
Greenlee Smythe is playing happy
home wrecker?
Brooke: I don't know what
she's doing.
I just know that Laura is very
vulnerable right now and she's
feeling rather threatened about
Greenlee's past with Leo.
Erica: And you think that
Laura's marriage to Leo can't
withstand that pressure?
Brooke: I'm not sure if Laura
can withstand the pressure.
And, of course, as her mother,
I want to do anything to help
protect her.
I just can't do it alone.
Erica: What do you want
from me, Brooke?
Brooke: I want you to get
Greenlee as far from Pine Valley
as possible, indefinitely.
Mia: Oh, God.
Ryan: Are you --
what happened?
What was a lie?
Mia: Oh, just forget it.
I just get like this when
the moon's full, ok?
Ryan: That's the second time
I've seen you going off on that
bag.
Mia: Yeah, well,
it's an outlet, Sigmund.
Ryan: Outlet for what?
Mia: It's none of
your business, really.
Ryan: Ok.
Ahem.
Next subject.
I don't know.
You still leaning on Marian
chandler for cash?
Mia: What?
Ryan: Liza's office.
You blackmailed her mother
for 5,000 to keep quiet.
Mia: Oh, boy, I picked
the wrong shoulder to cry on.
Ryan: Hey, listen,
Marian wanted me to get rid
of you.
I'm just saying I never found
out what that was about.
Mia: Marian didn't want me
to have what's mine.
She wants me to pretend like
I was never born.
But you know what?
I'm here, and I'm not going
anywhere.
Ryan: So,
what's Marian keeping from you?
What's this big secret?
Ryan: Come on, Mia.
I let you cry on my shoulder.
The least you can do is tell me
what's going on.
Mia: You know, you just --
you wouldn't get it.
Ryan: Try me.
Mia: You ever been lied to,
Ryan, by someone who you thought
you could trust with your life?
Ryan: Who are you talking
about?
Mia: My mom.
Ryan: What, did you guys have
a fight or something?
Mia: No.
She's dead.
Ryan: Oh.
I'm sorry.
Mia: Yeah. Me, too.
She was a really cool lady,
and she loved me.
Ryan: Was there a dad
on the scene?
Mia: Absentee father.
She said he was dead.
Ryan: Oh.
That was a lie?
Mia: Yeah.
Yeah.
Ryan: So he, like,
deserted you guys or --
Mia: He left us.
That's all that matters.
Ryan: Doesn't sound like
a prince of a guy.
Maybe you were better off
without him.
When I was growing up,
believe me, there were many,
many nights that I wish I was
an orphan.
See that punching bag over here?
That was --
that's what it was like growing
up in my house.
Mia: I'm sorry.
You know, when we first met,
I punched you.
Will you forgive me?
Greenlee: I thought you flew
over here to read me the riot
act.
You want to know why I'm not
fighting for Leo.
Bianca: You guys were getting
married.
He still loves you.
You still love him.
Greenlee: What about
your precious Laura?
Bianca: She's not my Laura.
Greenlee: No, no,
but she could be --
if Leo dumps her and comes back
to me.
Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.
And people think that I'm
twisted.
Bianca: Laura's my friend,
and she deserves better than
this.
Greenlee: So you're playing
the anti-marriage counselor,
breaking up your best friend's
marriage?
Bianca: It's already broken.
Greenlee: You know,
if you really care about Laura,
you should be trying to help
her fix it.
Go to Leo.
Let him see that Laura makes
your heart go pitty-pat.
Bianca: This is not about me,
Greenlee.
Greenlee: Like hell it's not.
You help smash Laura's marriage
to smithereens, and there
you are, her bestest,
bestest friend, helping her pick
up the pieces.
Before you know it,
LesBianca and Laura will be
playing house, buying matching
hers and hers towels.
Bianca: That is not who I am,
Greenlee.
Greenlee: Oh, it's you, Babe.
You are so your mother's
daughter.
Erica: Do you really think
that Greenlee Smythe is a threat
to their marriage?
Brooke: Oh, I don't want
to give you the wrong
impression.
Leo is devoted to Laura.
He's totally faithful.
Erica: Well, then what
on earth is the problem?
Brooke: I think primarily
it's -- it's post-op depression
for Laura.
You know, she is upset
a lot.
She feels threatened.
Any little thing sets her off.
And no matter how Leo tries
to reassure her, it doesn't seem
to help.
And, you know, she just can't
seem to get Greenlee out
of her thoughts.
Erica: I understand.
You're saying that Greenlee has
become an obsession with Laura.
Brooke: Yeah.
I am sure that Leo
and Laura can have a happy life
together, but not as long
as Greenlee is still hovering.
Erica: You think by taking
Greenlee out of the picture that
Laura's marriage will be happy?
Brooke: When Sarah's mother
took her home to Boston, I know
that Bianca was very distressed
at first.
But eventually she stopped
dreaming of a future
with her and Sarah, and then
she found somebody else.
But that someone isn't free.
And they won't be as long
as that person's marriage
survives.
Erica: Well, I certainly will
do everything I can to ensure
that Laura's marriage is happy.
Brooke: And that problem?
Erica: Oh, that'll be handled
by the end of this business day.
Brooke: I wasn't sure
if I was overstepping.
Erica: Of course you are.
But it doesn't really matter.
Because no matter what
our differences, we both will do
whatever it takes to help
our daughters.
Brooke: Thank you, Erica.
Erica: Val?
Val.
I'd like to see Greenlee Smythe
just the moment she gets back
from lunch.
Thanks.
Leo: I took a walk, alone.
Laura: So your head's still
all jammed up?
Leo: Yeah, I'm cool.
Laura: Really?
Leo: Really.
Laura, you're worrying way too
much about me.
Laura: Well, you're
my husband.
That's my job.
Leo: Yeah, well, it's not
your job to make yourself even
sicker than you are.
That's what's going to happen
if you keep stressing.
Laura: See, now you're
worrying too much.
Hey, wait here.
I want to show you something
that'll help both of us let off
some steam.
Leo: All right.
Leo: Stop it.
Laura: Leo --
I bought this for you.
What do you think?
Laura: I know I have a whole
closet full of nighties
you bought for me, but I picked
this out specifically for you.
What do you think?
It's not too risqué?
Laura: Leo?
What's wrong?
You don't like it?
It's the wrong color?
Leo: No.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's fabulous.
I love it.
Laura: Really?
Leo: Really.
Laura: You know,
there's a special feature
with this nightgown.
It slips right off.
Ooh --
Leo: Oh, your bracelet.
Is it ok?
Laura: Yeah, I probably just
didn't fasten it properly.
Leo: Maybe the clasp is
loose.
Here. Let me see it.
Laura: What are you going
to do with it?
Leo: I'm going to take it
to the jeweler's.
Maybe he can take a look at it.
Laura: You don't have to do
it right now.
Leo: Well, this is
your present, Laura.
I want to make sure that
it's flawless.
Laura: It is.
And you can give me something
better right now.
Leo: Laura, please, stop.
Just stop it.
Bianca: I am looking out
for Laura.
[Greenlee laughs]
Greenlee: Right.
Tearing her marriage apart won't
hurt a bit.
Tell me something --
did Laura want your protection?
I didn't think so.
She can't face the fact that Leo
doesn't love her.
Bianca: You know what?
It was stupid of me to come
here.
Greenlee: Why did you,
Bianca?
Did you really see
the two of us forming
a sisterhood?
Bianca: I told you why
I came.
Greenlee: You're not
the least bit embarrassed,
are you?
Bianca: Embarrassed?
About what?
Greenlee: This shameless ploy
to get Laura all to yourself.
I mean, look at you, pining away
for someone who wouldn't love
you if you were the last Lesbo
on earth.
Bianca: Why are you so cruel?
Greenlee: Because you came
over here expecting me to do
your dirty work.
Bianca: This is not for me.
Leo loves you.
He wanted to marry you.
Greenlee: Leo lied to me
about who he was.
I can't trust him.
Bianca: Leo wasn't after
your money, Greenlee.
Greenlee: Oh, right, right.
Money means zip to Leo.
See, he turned around
and married a dying heiress.
Bianca: He didn't marry Laura
for her money, either.
Greenlee: If he married
her for love, you wouldn't be
here.
I saw Brooke give Leo a check
and thanked him for the services
rendered.
Leo's been faking since day one.
Bianca: Why didn't you say
something?
Greenlee: Who would I tell?
Laura?
Bianca: It would have been
so easy for you.
Greenlee: Maybe I don't want
to get a man that way.
Or maybe I'm tired of playing
bad girl.
Bianca: It's a little late
to be worried about your image,
Greenlee.
Greenlee: Whatever.
You're not going to use me
to get Leo away from Laura.
You want your dream girl to know
the truth?
You be the messenger.
[Phone rings]
Greenlee: Hello.
Val, Val, I'm on my way.
Greenlee: Got a command performance
with your mother.
Bianca: Can I ask
you something, Greenlee?
Greenlee: Can I stop you?
Bianca: Doesn't it bother
you to see Leo so unhappy?
Greenlee: The only person
that can change that is Leo.
Liza: Ryan, I'm really glad
I was able to catch up with you.
Ryan: Liza.
Hey.
You remember Mia.
Liza: Yes, the card hustler.
Mia: Yeah, well, that's just
a sideline.
Liza: Does it pay the rent?
Mia: Well, sometimes.
But, you know, if it doesn't,
I just sort of fall back
on my paycheck.
Liza: And how do you get
paid?
Mia: Oh, I work here
at the gym.
I'm a trainer.
Liza: Well, that must keep
you busy.
Could I have a private word
with Ryan?
Mia: Sure, yeah.
You know, you should take one
of my classes.
I work wonders.
Liza: Charming.
Ryan: Yeah.
So, did you calm your mother
down?
Liza: I tried.
Ryan: How did you explain
the kiss when she walked
in on --
Liza: You know, I didn't
apologize.
I told her about Adam's adultery
with the lady judge.
Ryan: Oh.
Well, did you, you know,
mention what happened with us
in the woods?
Liza: No.
No, no, no.
I didn't go into detail,
but she got the gist of it.
Ryan: Right.
Well, she probably warned
you to stay away from me
and give Adam another chance.
Liza: Actually, my mother was
very upset about Adam's
behavior.
She understood that I was hurt
by it.
Ryan: But?
Liza: She thinks it's
a mistake for me to join forces
with you to get back at Adam,
that it's a mistake that I will
Ryan: So, what are
you saying?
You want to call this off?
Liza: No way.
I need you now more than ever.
Ryan: So you're not getting
rid of me.
Liza: No.
I don't know what I would have
done if I hadn't run
into you after what Adam had
done to me.
I don't know what I would have
done.
I mean, I don't even remember
getting in my car.
I was walking around in a daze.
Ryan: Yeah.
Liza: I just know that I feel
close to you.
You -- you give me hope.
Ryan: Well, then,
you're in deep trouble.
Liza: No, I'm serious.
I think we both hit bottom
at the same time, and hopefully
we're going to come
to the surface together.
Ryan: Liza, neither one of us
know where the hell we're going.
Liza: No.
No, we don't.
But, you know, we just
take it --
you know, you do what feels good
and to hell with everything
else.
Ryan: Does that mean you're
leaving Adam to chance?
Liza: Oh, no.
When Adam gets back
from his fishing trip, I have
a little surprise planned
for him.
Ryan: He doesn't like
surprises.
Liza: No, that's exactly why
he's getting one --
because I want to see e look
on his face.
I want the look on his face
to match the look that was
on my face when I found out
he broke every promise he ever
made.
[Phone rings]
Liza: Hello.
Adam.
I was just talking about you.
How's your fishing trip
in Idaho?
Oh, Maui is spectacular.
Just -- no, just being lazy.
Colby and I, we -- yeah, we miss
you, too.
I suppose.
Mia: Um --
did I just hear you correctly?
Ryan: What?
Hear what?
Mia: Did you sleep with Liza?
Ryan: How did you hear that?
Mia: Is it true, though?
I mean, did you sleep with her?
Ryan: Why do you care?
Mia: Because I thought
you cared about your wife.
How could you do this to her?
Greenlee: Erica, I'm here.
Erica: Greenlee, sit down.
Erica: Greenlee, you have
been working at Enchantment
for just under three months.
Greenlee: Seems longer.
I mean, it feels like I've been
here forever.
Part of the team.
Enchantment's my home away
from home.
Erica: Yes.
Well, I've been reviewing
your quarterly performance.
And it seems that you have some
very good ideas.
Original, edgy, imaginative.
R&D is actually working up
a prototype of White Narcissus,
the fragrance that you designed,
and actually they are quite
enthusiastic.
Greenlee: Wow.
So it's mostly good, huh?
Erica: Greenlee,
when you took this job,
were you aware of Enchantment's
incentive program?
Greenlee: Doesn't sound
familiar.
Erica: Let me tell you about
it.
Each year I select an employee
and I reward him or
her for their outstanding
contributions.
And this year, Greenlee Smythe,
you are the winner.
I hope your passport's in order
because you're going to Paris
tonight!
Greenlee: Say crois?
Erica: Yes, you're being
transferred to the Paris office.
You do parlez-vous
francais, oui?
Greenlee: Oui.
Erica: Bon.
Then go home and pack your bags,
and you just be ready
for my driver to pick you up
at 8:00.
He's going to have your
itinerary and a list of contacts
in Paris, of course, and also
$10,000 in French francs.
Greenlee: $10,000?
Erica: Yes, that's
your bonus.
And I have an apartment
on the Rue De Lac, which is
yours until you find a place
of your own.
Greenlee: You're moving me
to Paris?
Erica: Oh, how I envy you.
I mean, Paris, the city
of lights, the makeup
and fashion capital
of the world.
Greenlee: I'd prefer
New York.
And it's a whole lot closer
to home.
Erica: Greenlee, what are
you saying?
Greenlee: I'm saying I don't
want to go to gay Paris.
Erica: Greenlee, how on earth
could you possibly be
so ungrateful?
I Mean, here I am.
I'm offering you the chance
of a lifetime.
Greenlee: I'm not being
promoted.
I'm being exiled.
You want to get rid of me,
Erica.
I want to know why.
Brooke: Oh, Bianca.
Hi. Come on in.
Are you looking for somebody?
Bianca: Yeah, actually,
I'm looking for Leo.
Brooke: Oh, Leo.
He told you he was working here?
Bianca: He left me a message
on my cell phone.
Brooke: Yeah.
He hasn't started yet.
Bianca: Ok.
I'll catch up with him later,
then.
Brooke: Oh, you don't have
to run off.
Bianca: Well, I know how busy
you are.
Brooke: Well, I think I have
a minute.
Come on, sit down, sit down.
How's your summer going?
Bianca: Pretty good.
I'm not really doing much.
Brooke: Well, I guess
school's going to be starting
fairly soon.
Bianca: Yeah, don't remind
me.
Brooke: Ok.
Bianca: Is Laura starting
PVU this fall?
Brooke: Well, we haven't
really discussed it, you know,
because of the surgery and all.
Bianca: I just know how
excited she was when she got in.
Brooke: Well, I know.
It's -- it's just that
her priorities have changed
somewhat because she's married
now.
Bianca: So, Leo's really
going to work here, huh?
Brooke: Yes, he is.
I think it's going to be great.
Bianca: Why do you say that?
Brooke: Well, because Leo is
bright and he's quick and --
Bianca: He's bored and he's
restless.
Brooke: I'm sorry?
Bianca: Are you?
I really don't think you are,
Brooke.
I think that this is just a part
of your plan.
Brooke: My plan?
Bianca: Yeah, Leo is getting
jumpy, hanging around the house,
feeling trapped.
So you throw him a bone.
You keep him busy.
You distract him and hold
on to him for Laura's sake.
Brooke: Bianca, I think that
you are out of line.
Bianca: Good.
It's about time somebody stepped
out of bounds.
I mean, Leo's not going to --
not while he's chained to Laura.
Brooke: Bianca --
Bianca: Brooke, look, I don't
blame you for trying to hold
on to Leo.
I know Laura loves him.
She would be absolutely
heartbroken if he left her.
Brooke: Leo is not going
to leave Laura.
What --
why would you even think that?
Bianca: Please.
Let's not pretend that they're
the world's happiest couple.
You and I both know that's
the biggest lie.
Brooke: Has Leo said that
he's not happy?
Bianca: He doesn't have to.
I can see it.
So can Laura.
Brooke: Bianca, you can't
really tell what's going
on in a marriage from
the outside.
You can't.
You know, and as far as that
goes, Laura and Leo are still
getting to know each other.
Bianca: If they had 50 years
they wouldn't get it right
because this -- this marriage is
a deal brokered by you.
Brooke: What are you talking
about?
Bianca: Brooke, I saw
you giving Leo a check
at their reception.
Brooke: I --
it was a wedding gift, Bianca.
It was something just to help
tide them over.
Bianca: Until when?
Until Leo forgets about
Greenlee?
Until he's so indebted
to you that he can't leave?
Until he's so guilty for staying
in a loveless marriage that
his spirit is completely
crushed?
Brooke: Leo is not indebted
to me.
It's the other way around.
Bianca: I know.
I heard what you said
at the reception.
You said that Laura is alive
because of Leo, because he told
her that he loves her.
How can he go back on that,
Brooke?
What's going to happen when Leo
can't pretend anymore?
How long before Laura realizes
that her entire marriage is
a lie?
What's going to happen
to her then?
Brooke: What's going
to happen to Laura?
Nothing.
She's going to have a long
and happy life with Leo.
Bianca: Brooke, I don't
understand this.
Why are you supporting this?
Leo doesn't love Laura,
not the way she needs to be
loved.
Brooke: By who, you?
You know, I don't want to be
blunt, Bianca, but Laura doesn't
want you.
She wants Leo.
Bianca: So you bought him
for her?
Brooke: No!
I --
yes, I made Leo an offer,
I did, when I was so desperate
about Laura's heart condition.
But he turned me down.
And the wonderful thing that
happened is that he found out
that he had real feelings
for my daughter.
And he started to care for her,
and he gave her hope,
and he gave her the will
to live.
Bianca: No.
Nobody can do that for somebody,
Brooke.
Brooke: Bianca, I saw it.
I saw it with my own eyes.
I saw Leo bring Laura back
to life.
Now, you tell me that that's not
worth paying any price,
no matter what it is.
And who are you to judge?
You know, have you ever lost
a child?
Would you do anything that
you could, risk anything,
to save somebody that you loved?
Bianca: I know what it's like
to have my heart broken.
Brooke: So, then, how can
you want that for Laura?
I mean, you say you care about
her?
You know, you don't have a clue
about what she needs.
Bianca: I know that Leo isn't
right for her.
Brooke: You don't have any
right to say that, and you don't
have any right to interfere
in her life.
Bianca: But you do
because you love her, right?
Well, you're not the only one.
Brooke: Leo is her husband.
It's his job to love her,
not yours.
And if you have a problem
with their marriage, you know,
if you're jealous, it is
your problem.
It's not hers.
Bianca: I'm not jealous
of their marriage.
Brooke: Bianca, the bottom
line is that Laura is still
recovering her health, and I am
not going to have you making
problems for them or --
or undoing the progress that
she has made.
If you cannot be happy for her,
if you can't be satisfied
with just being a good friend,
then I think that you should get
out of her life for good.
Laura: Leo, what'd I do
wrong?
Leo: Nothing.
Laura: No, you just snapped
at me.
What was that about?
Leo: I feel --
Laura: You feel --
you feel what?
Leo: I feel like we're
playing dress up!
Pretending to be married,
like it's not real.
Laura: Of course it's real.
This is your house.
I'm your wife.
Leo: How did we get here,
Laura?
Laura: I don't understand.
Leo: That day in the park --
do you remember that?
When we were goofing around,
just before your transplant?
You know, acting like little
kids, playing on the swings,
making sand castles.
Do you remember that?
It seemed like a million years
ago.
Laura: I was so happy.
Leo: Because you were being
you.
You weren't pretending to be
happy, Laura.
You just were.
Laura: Did we lose that?
Is that what you're saying?
You want to get back to that?
I'm getting stronger every day.
Leo: But it's not your job
to keep things lively.
You're not the entertainment
committee, all right?
Every single moment doesn't have
to be about something.
We don't have to plan
everything.
Laura: Ok, I get it.
I'm being too obvious.
I'm coming on too strong.
Leo: No, you --
it's just not you.
It's you acting like you're
trying to be like Greenlee
or something.
Laura: I can't compete
with her.
Leo: I don't want you to,
Laura.
That's not what I want.
That is so not what I want.
Laura: What do you want, Leo?
Do you want me?
Leo: I want you and me to be
like we were in the park,
to take each day as it comes.
I want the Laura that made every
moment seem like it was
her last.
Joyous.
Spontaneous.
That's the Laura that I fell
in love with.
Laura: This marriage bit is
a little confusing.
Leo: Yeah, I know.
It's new territory for the both
of us.
Laura: We can try to get at it together.
Leo: Yeah, we can do that.
But we have to let each other be
free to be ourselves.
Erica: For heaven's sakes,
Greenlee.
Why would I go to all that
trouble, all that expense,
if I wanted to get rid of you?
All I'd have to do is fire you.
Greenlee: Erica, our deal was
if I messed up on the job, I had
to leave town for good.
But I haven't messed up.
So you can't send me packing
to Siberia.
Erica: Please.
Paris is hardly the frozen
tundra.
Greenlee: It's banishment in any language.
Erica: It's a golden
opportunity is what it is.
Val: Excuse me, Erica.
This call came in when you were
in conference with Brooke
English.
Erica: Thank you, Val.
Greenlee: A golden
opportunity?
For who -- Brooke?
Is the whole world in on this
plot?
Erica: Plot?
What plot?
Greenlee: You know,
I've never been popular, but all
of a sudden everyone wants
something from me.
You want me to disappear,
Brooke wants me deported,
and Bianca --
Erica: Bianca?
Greenlee: She was the reason
I was late.
Your daughter wants me to fight
for Leo, trash his marriage,
so Laura can get in touch
with her hidden lesbian.
Erica: Oh, that's enough,
Greenlee.
That is enough.
Greenlee: Enough?
Oh, no.
I'm just getting warmed up.
Ryan: Don't talk to me about
Gillian.
Mia: Why not?
Ryan: Because you didn't know
her.
Mia: Well, I didn't know
my dad, but I told you about
him, didn't I?
Ryan: I'm not talking
to you about this.
Mia: Excuse me.
I thought we were getting
to know each other here.
Ryan: Well, that doesn't give
you the right to judge me.
Mia: That's not what I'm
doing.
I know you're devastated.
Ryan: So, what does this have
to do with you?
Mia: Nothing.
I just think --
Ryan: You just what?
Mia: Well, I just think that,
you know, maybe it's a little
soon to be sleeping with someone
else.
Liza: You told her?
Mia: Yeah. Yeah, he told me.
What's it to you?
Ryan: No, I did not tell her.
She overheard us.
Liza: So you were
eavesdropping?
Mia: Yeah, yeah, that's it.
My life is so empty, I have
to fill it with other people's
sad, little melodramas.
Liza: Who the hell do
you think you are?
Marian: Oh, my God, I'm too
late.
Oh, Liza.
Please forgive me. Please.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so --
I'm so very, very sorry.
Marian: Liza, I didn't want
you to find out like this.
I --
I know I should have told
you the truth right
from the start, but I didn't
know how you were going to react
when you found out that you had
a sister.
And I was afraid to tell you.
Liza: Sister?
What are you talking about?
Marian: But --
Liza: That -- that's
my sister?
Erica: Bianca and Laura are
friends.
They are just friends.
Greenlee: Believe what
you want to, but shipping me out
of the country is not going
to keep Laura a happily married
woman.
Erica: You have such
an amazing amount of gall.
Greenlee: It's called
self-preservation.
I learned a long time ago that
no one's going to take care
of me but me.
I'm staying right here.
Erica: I just don't know who
in their right mind could
possibly pass up an opportunity
to live in Paris.
Greenlee: We'll see.
Erica: Oh, Greenlee Smythe,
that is so not your call.
ON THE NEXT - ALL MY CHILDREN
Greenlee: Ready for bed, are we?
Well, I'm sorry.
I'm going to need to borrow
your husband for a while.
Shannon: Mindy, what are
you doing?
Rosa: I've never been this
scared in my whole life.
