Tad: "Why"? I'll tell you. Because you're the ones deciding your next man of the year, right? It's a big deal. Terrific. Well, I am telling you that what happens here tonight is going to affect your decision. Absolutely. Yeah, WRCW. No. No, as soon as you can get here. No, that would be fine. Bye. Honey?
Dixie: Yeah? Tad: What the hell is this? I send you out for a crowd. You come back with the Partridge Family. Don't get me wrong. It's just that I was kind of looking forward, you know, for a nice, healthy group for the announcement.
Dixie: You sent me to the mall, darling. There's only nine days before Christmas.
Tad: Did you make sure that they knew they were going to meet Tad Martin?
Dixie: Well, actually, some of them think they're going to meet Ricky Martin. Sorry.
Tad: Ladies and gentlemen -- uh -- welcome. I'm Tad Martin. Thank you. That's -- that's very special. I want to thank you all for being here tonight, and I assure you that you won't regret cutting short your Christmas shopping because the event you're about to witness is one of national, if not historic, importance.
Liza: Oh, really?
Tad: Liza. Terrific. Ladies and gentlemen, my boss, Liza Colby Chandler. Liza, thank you for getting here so quickly.
Liza: No, no, thank -- what's going on? What's going on?

Dixie: Oh, yeah. Everyone, if you'd like to come with me to the greenroom, we're going to have refreshments and coffee and doughnuts and stuff like that. Right this way, please. Follow me.

Liza: An event of national and historical --
Tad: Well, you're going to have to forgive the hyperbole. I am about to make an announcement so big it is going to blow the roof off this studio. And, as a fringe benefit, it just kind of happens to play out into the first episode of my new show.
Liza: You know, you're forgetting that you don't work here anymore.
Tad: A temporary situation, my friend. Only temporary because you are going to be so excited by the genius of this idea, I'm willing to bet you're going to rent me studio space for, what, a dollar a year?
Liza: A dollar --
Tad: Yeah.
Liza: Did Adam's check not clear?
Tad: No, honey, it cleared. All five million bucks.
Liza: Ok. Um -- ok, you have a genius idea.
Tad: Great.
Liza: And I have to call Colby's nanny --
Tad: Ok.
Liza: And then I'll be more than happy --
Tad: No problem, honey. You go right ahead. I'll wait. I'll be right over here.

Dixie: What's going on? You didn't tell her?
Tad: No. I'm not going to tell her any more than she needs to know.
Dixie: Don't you think you're pushing this a little too far?
Tad: No, no. Honey, listen to me. Now, we finally got a chance to stick it to Adam. After all the years, we can pay him back for all the lousy things he's ever done. The only twist is tonight the role of Adam will be played by Stuart.

Marian: Oh, thanks.
Tina: Welcome to S.O.S.
Marian: Thank you.
Tina: Hi.
Stuart: Two for dinner, please.
Tina: Ok. Sure. Excuse me for just a second. Hey.
Adrian: Hey.
Tina: I thought you weren't coming back tonight.
Adrian: Yeah, well, I thought so, too.

[Telephone rings]

Stuart: Young lady, we are waiting for a table.
Tina: Just right this way.
Stuart: Thank you very much. I guess I'm hungrier than I thought.
Marian: Thank you very much.
Tina: I'll have someone bring you a menu right away.
Stuart and Marian: Thank you.
Stuart: Did you see that? Adam just popped out.

Adrian: Yeah, well, I'm back at S.O.S. now.
Tad: What? What? I told you to stick with Stuart wherever he went.
Adrian: Yeah, I did. But he and Marian ended up here.
Tad: Oh, good. That's different. Why didn't you just say so? Listen, they didn't -- they didn't stop anywhere interesting on the way over, did they?
Adrian: Interesting?
Tad: Yeah, you know, like maybe an out-of-the-way motel or a warehouse.
Adrian: No, no. Nothing like that. Listen, what is this about?
Tad: No can do, pal. This is strictly need-to-know. They didn't see you, did they?
Adrian: What do you think?
Tad: Good, good. Now, listen, if Stuart gets a phone call, gets up, looks like he's going to leave, you stay put, all right? You're done for the night.
Adrian: Listen, why don't you tell me what this is about? I mean, if this is about you tracking down Adam Chandler, then you got to remember I'm on the same team, man.
Tad: I know. I know, pal. Trust me, ok? I'll tell you next time I need you. Until then, please allow me to say it's been a pleasure to have you as a sidekick.
Adrian: Hey, what are you -- I'm nobody's sidekick, knucklehead.

Stuart: I hate it when Adam talks to people like that. Do you think by pretending to be him I'm becoming more like him?
Marian: Oh, no, darling. That would be impossible.
Stuart: It left a bad taste in my mouth.
Marian: Come over here. You taste absolutely glorious to me. No, it was just a little bit of method acting popping out. You know, like a young Marlon Brando. Let's make a deal, darling. Let's keep -- make this, the rest of the night, billionaire's night off, ok?
Stuart: Ok. Ok. There will be no more Adam tonight.
Marian: Thank you.

Jake: This is going to be fun. We won't stay too long, all right? Now, you're not nervous, are you?
Gillian: Yes.
Jake: Yeah? Come on. Just stay with me. You'll be fine. Ok? All right.
Mateo: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Jake: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. How you doing?
Adrian: Well, Gillian, you look like you've been sprung.
Mateo: You look great. I guess you're feeling better, huh?
Jake: She's feeling a lot better. She just got a few hours leave from the hospital. I got to get her back there before midnight or she'll turn into a --
Gillian: Shoe.
Mateo: Yeah, a shoe.
Jake: Cinderella's glass slipper, you know? What was it? I don't know what the story is. It was a clue that that was who she really was, right?
Adrian: Yeah.
Jake: Yeah.
Mateo: Well, before the clock strikes whatever, do you guys want to have a little toast?
Jake: Well, yeah. A little something. How about -- we need to get a virgin, like, daiquiri. Margarita? Margarita?
Gillian: Berry.
Jake: Strawberry? You got strawberry here?
Adrian: Strawberry works.
Jake: We'll take two of those -- unless you guys want to join us.
Mateo: Oh, yeah.
Jake: Then make it four --
Mateo: Yeah, but we're going to have to put a little stuff --
Jake: Or five or six.
Mateo: Be right back.
Adrian: I'll be right back. See you later.
Jake: Don't worry about it. Don't worry. I understand you. In fact, I think you're becoming quite the poet.
Gillian: You -- my poem.

Alex: It's my responsibility to choose the head of the foundation. It's not your decision to make.
Joe: Yes, I know that. I know that. And I do realize that you may take the endowment elsewhere. But if the foundation is to find a home here in Pine Valley hospital and if you refuse to serve as its director, I have no option but to recommend Dr. Hayward for the position.
Alex: You did this, getting Palmer to throw his weight around.
Erica: I felt I had to act in the best interest of Dimitri's foundation. That's what Palmer did. That's what Joe is trying to do right now.
Alex: Oh, I can't believe it. He's fooling all of you.
Erica: David's credentials have obviously spoken for themselves. You seem to be the only one holding onto a petty, personal grudge.
Alex: You can't trust him. He will finish you. He won't actually kill you like he did Siobhan, but --
Joe: Doctor --

[Alex gasps]

Joe: Please, may I have a word alone with Dr. Marick?
Erica: What's left to say?
David: By all means.

Alex: I'm going to talk to the hospital board myself.
Joe: No, you won't. I won't allow you to go on making these accusations publicly.
Alex: Oh, don't worry. I guarantee you he would never sue.
Joe: Alex, I'm very sorry for what happened to your friend, and I realize you honestly believe that Hayward was responsible.
Alex: He killed her.
Joe: There is no way proving that. And I guarantee anyone listening to your story is going to simply decide that it's your word against his. Unless there's something you're not telling me?
Alex: There isn't anything else. I told you the truth. He drove Siobhan to take her own life.
Joe: He treated her shamefully, and he's admitted that.
Alex: But he's not sorry for it. I can understand him fooling Erica, but to get the better of you, Joe --
Joe: Hayward knows exactly what I feel about him personally. I made the best decision I could for the hospital, period.
Alex: The only other explanation is that you're under pressure from the board, from Palmer.
Joe: No, I'm not. No one owns my vote. Certainly not Palmer Cortlandt.
Alex: I know that. I just -- I don't understand how this has happened.
Joe: Look, think about it for a moment. Now, you may very well detest Hayward, a I'm not saying you don't have a good reason for it. But even so, you have to admit he's a very fine doctor. He's also a very creative thinker in medical matters, and I'm sure he'll run the foundation in a very professional manner. Ok, ok. Let's forget about him. Right now I'm most concerned about you.
Alex: Don't worry about me. You've made your decision. There's nothing more to be said, really.
Joe: Look, I don't want to leave the matter this way, Dr. Marick. Now, Dr. Hayward claims that your feelings to him are irrational. Well, they're not that, but they certainly are highly emotional. And I shouldn't have to remind you that, as professionals, we're supposed to be able to put those feelings behind us.
Alex: Oh, I may have to accept your unwise decision, but I certainly don't have to stand here and listen to a lecture on professionalism.

Erica: My, she's not taking it well, is she?
Joe: I don't think there's any reason for you to enjoy this quite much, Erica.
Erica: I do. You are the new head of this incredible, prestigious research foundation.
David: I can't help but agree with Joe, Erica. Nobody won here today.

Stuart: Look at Jake. He's trying to cheer Gillian up after all she's been through.
Marian: Oh, darling, I think it's a little more than that. I think there's something going on between them, darling. They make a wonderful couple, don't you think?
Stuart: Oh, yeah. It would be really nice if he had somebody to care about him when he finds out about Colby. I'm so angry at Adam for what he did.
Marian: Well, it's divine justice he's locked up right now because Liza's going to get her divorce, custody of Colby, and a huge chunk of Adam's fortune.
Stuart: Well, that's not going to do Jake any good. Or Adam, for that matter. Everybody's going to be hurting when the truth comes out, and it will.
No lie can live forever.

Jake: Hello.
Marian: Oh. Oh, hello. We were just talking about how lovely that you look tonight, Gillian. It's good to see you.
Stuart: Yes, it is. Would you join us?
Jake: Well, yeah, we just wanted to come over and say hi and -- actually, I wanted to ask you guys what you think of this conversion of Adam to Mr. Nice guy.
Stuart: Mr. Nice guy?
Jake: Yeah. I mean, do you buy it? I just can't help but think that the real Adam is going to come out -- I don't know -- right when we least expect it just to part his revenge on everybody, like when Liza decides to get a divorce. And I just -- I don't know. I'm going to be prepared for it.
Stuart: He did give Liza back her TV station. And the apology was real.
Jake: How can you be so sure
Stuart: Well -- since Adam's not really Adam anymore.
Marian: Yes, but, of course, only Adam really knows what Adam is really thinking.
Stuart: Yes. Yes, that's true.
Jake: Well, I just can't trust him, no matter how many times he laughs off a pie in the face.
Marian: You know, Jake, I know that Colby is first and foremost in your life, and I want you to know that Stuart and I are equally concerned about her welfare as well.
Jake: Thank you. Thank you, both of you. At first I was afraid that she wouldn't really know me. But she looks at me now, and I know that she can see her dad. And I know that Adam's always going to try to take my place, so I just have to watch out for him, I guess.

Liza: So that's your genius idea? You're going to feature Adam in the first episode of your new show?
Tad: Liza, I'm telling you, it can't miss.
Liza: I thought that you said this was going to be an expose kind of thing.
Tad: Yeah, well, that's sort of changed. Look, honey, I promise you, I can explain it all much better with Adam here. So, please, could you get him to come down to the studio?
Liza: You want me to convince him to come here, now?
Tad: Sure. So I can pitch the new idea, get him jazzed, make an official announcement.
Liza: You know, I don't -- I don't know about that. I just think that -- you know, who says he's even going to agree to any of this?
Tad: I know he will. I mean, technically he already has by giving me the money. Liza, it's all in the way I approach him. Ok, honey? Come on, trust me.
Liza: Adam and I are barely speaking these days.
Tad: I know. That's because you want to get a divorce. But I happen to know he's still in love with you. Not only that, he's trying to get back together. Come on, let's be honest. That's the reason he's been a mensch lately, right?
Liza: Look, I'm really sorry that you've gone to all this trouble, but I -- I'm pretty much sure that he's not available tonight.
Tad: Ok, fine. If -- if you can't find him, I'm afraid I'm just going to have to. And I can't stop till I do. I got a lot riding on this. So do me a favor. Could you give me a ride over to your house?
Liza: Oh -- I'll call. I'll see. And I'm not promising anything.

Liza: Mother. Where are you? Well, pay the check. I need -- I need Stuart to play Adam.
Marian: No, darling. That's really out of the question, Liza.
Liza: Mother, it's Tad. Tad has got something going on, and you know him. He's not going to let it go.
Marian: Darling, Stuart is tired. And, anyways, he's been popping in and out of character all night. He really needs to rest tonight, darling.
Stuart: What's she asking?
Liza: I'm sure it's not going to take very long. I mean, Tad's going to do all the talking.
Marian: Darling, it's not a good idea, Liza, ok?
Stuart: Let me talk to her.
Marian: Ok. Stuart's going to talk to you.
Stuart: Hello, Liza. You want me to pretend to be what's-his-name again tonight?
Liza: Stuart, it's Tad. Tad has some sort of idea or something, and I'm sure it's designed to get under Adam's skin. But if you don't want to do it, if you want to put Adam to bed tonight, I understand. I'll just tell Tad.
Stuart: Oh, Adam has made such a mess of everything.
Liza: Well, maybe this idea that Tad has will undo some of that.
Stuart: Ok. I'll come.
Marian: Oh, Stuart, I hate to sound negative, but I don't have a good feeling about this.
Stuart: I'll be ok.
Marian: Oh, you had a slip with that girl just a few minutes ago. You're tired, darling. What if the wrong twin pops out suddenly? Huh?

Liza: Well, he'll be right over.
Tad: Excellent. I knew I could count on you.
Liza: I hope you know what you're doing.
Tad: Oh, I do.

Stuart: I'll pretend to be Adam and put him to bed, and then I'll pretend to be me and put us to bed.
Marian: Oh, I can hardly wait. Come on, let's go.

Mateo: So, how are the margaritas?
Jake: Huh? What?
Mateo: The margaritas?
Gillian: Good most.
Mateo: The best, huh? Ahem.
Jake: Actually, I want to ask Adrian something. I'll be right back, all right?
Mateo: So, you look really good. I mean, better than the last time I saw you.
Gillian: The night.
Mateo: Yeah, the night of the accident. Yeah.
Gillian: You saved -- Mateo: Just happy that you're ok.
Gillian: You?
Mateo: Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Good.
Gillian: You and Hayley?
Mateo: Oh. No, no, she and I are -- actually, she's on her own now. She and Ryan -- they're not together. You didn't know? Oh, I -- neither did I until today. They're not together. They didn't even sleep together. I was wrong.

Erica: I mean, Alex was right, you know. This was all my doing.
David: Your doing?
Erica: Of course. I went to Palmer. Palmer went to Joe, made Joe see reason. And now you are getting the recognition that you deserve.
David: But don't you realize that now the foundation won't be headquartered here.
Erica: No, I've spoken to Edmund on several occasions. It is implicit in Dimitri's will. The foundation has to be connected to Pine Valley Hospital. I mean, it's either here or it's nowhere.
David: But the way that Alex just stormed off, I wouldn't be surprised if she let the whole thing die altogether.
Erica: Alex is bluffing. Alex doesn't really care a bit about Dimitri or his dying wishes, and I've known that from day one.
David: And you were never shy about sharing that.
Erica: Once she goes back to Europe and she starts spending the rest of Dimitri's fortune and she starts trading on the Andrassy name, well, she's going to be very happy that there is the Andrassy foundation finding cures for rare diseases. Mark my words -- Alex is going to start taking credit for your hard work.
David: Oh, I doubt that. The woman hates me too much.
Erica: Oh, well, I mean, if she's that petty, who needs her? Listen, there are many wealthy people in this town who would be more than happy to put up their money to back a foundation headed by you.
David: Oh, yeah? Name one.
Erica: Oh, tons. Anyhow, anyhow -- don't you know that I can do just about anything I set my mind to do?
David: Hmm. A person can get in trouble for getting that.
Erica: Hmm.
David: I agree with Joe. You're enjoying this entirely too much.
Erica: Why don't we go somewhere a little bit more private and I'll let you share the fun.

Alex: Dimitri, why did you bring me here? So I can go through all this agony?

[Alex gasps]

Edmund: Before you throw that thing, you should know its appraised value is about $10,000. But go ahead if it helps you. Make your day.
Alex: I've already lost too much of value today.
Edmund: What have you lo, Alex? Alex: There isn't going to be an Andrassy foundation. It can't exist unless it's at Pine Valley Hospital, and I can't allow it to happen there.
Edmund: What happened?
Alex: Joe Martin sided with David. He's recommending to the board that he be director of the foundation.
Edmund: Well, he probably said that because you refused to take the position yourself.
Alex: Oh, God in heaven, we're not going to go through this again, are we?
Edmund: Alex, what's going on?
Alex: Well, they thought, I suppose, that I would simply fold, that I wouldn't care who carried out my husband's wishes. But you know what? I would prefer to destroy it myself than hand it over to that murderer.
Edmund: I know you blame him for your roommate's death.
Alex: Yes, I do, because he was guilty. I tried to explain that to Joe. But I couldn't convince anyone of the truth. That was in stark evidence today.
Edmund: You can tell me. I'll listen.
Edmund: Alex, were you in love with David Hayward?

David: You know, why don't we forget about Alex for now and concentrate on you.
Erica: Ok. But still, I mean, she had to know that I was going to win and she was going to lose.
David: Ok, all right. You have exactly 10 seconds to talk about Alex, and then that's it.
Erica: Ok, foundation or no foundation, I'm really lucky to feel this joy that I have that I know that she was not the person she said she was. She's not a poised professional at all. She's just --
David: Uh-huh, three --
Erica: A really overemotional --
David: Two, one -- time's up!
Erica: Oh! Oh, David. I am so happy.
David: And why is that? Because you won over Alex?
Erica: I'm happy because you told me the truth about what happened between you and Alex. And could look in your eyes and I could tell that you were telling me the truth. That's why I feel so close to you right now.
David: If you knew how much it meant to me that you believe me and that you trust me --
Erica: Why don't you show me?

Mateo: I mean, I miss Max like crazy, you know, but he's really happy for the first time in his life. I can't complain.
Gillian: You -- happy.
Mateo: You know, I really made a mess of things, and it's going to take a while to get, you know, out from under all that stuff, so -- no, I really -- I hope I didn't mess up by telling you about Hayley and Ryan. That's ok, right?
Gillian: Ryan.
Mateo: You know, I don't think he's with anybody. Does that change things? I mean, between you and Jake?

Jake: Half owner of a bar? I think that's what they say reinventing yourself.
Adrian: Yeah, well, I like to keep things fresh, you know? Shake things up every few years. If I don't like it, I can always start over, move, you know.
Jake: I know what that's like. I kind of did that nomad thing a couple years back. It was fun. But I kind of like where I'm at right now.
Adrian: Yeah, well, that's because you have a great family in this town.
Jake: That I do. That I do. Hey. Hi.
Gillian: Floor --
Jake: I would love to dance with you. Excuse me.
Adrian: Be my guest.
Jake: Thank you.

Tad: Tape recorder --
Stuart: [As Adam] well, make it quick, Martin. Tokyo market opens in -- soon.
Tad: All right, fair enough. Our last televised appearance together did us both a lot of good. So much so, I want to build on it. Matter of fact, I want to make sure the whole world knows what kind of man the new Adam Chandler really is.
Stuart: More pies in the face?
Tad: No. No, no more pies in the face. Just a lot of fantastic publicity for you and Chandler Enterprises.
Stuart: Well, go on, go on.
Tad: Premise is simple, ok? Adam Chandler, a multimillionaire with an international reputation for being a ruthless, cold-hearted megalomaniac, suddenly has a revelation, decides he wants to be jolly old St. Nick.
Stuart: Santa Claus? In the red suit?
Tad: Well, the choice of wardrobe I leave to you and, you know, your tailor. The point is, whatever you're wearing, you come on the show and you give away millions and millions of dollars.
Liza: Millions of --
Tad: No -- just hear me out, ok? Now, up till now, the world knows Adam strictly as a man that uses his power and his money solely for the purposes of profit and self-aggrandizement with absolute abandon. Hell, you're practically an icon of self-interest.
Stuart: And proud of it.
Tad: Ok, well, I ask you, what's the P.R. benefit of that? And what if the public suddenly saw a different side of Adam Chandler? I mean, what about Adam Chandler, the amazingly generous and an unapologetically caring man? Imagine what would happen to your reputation, your influence, and your stock if suddenly you became the most generous man on the planet?
Stuart: Santa Claus.
Tad: I know it's not really you.
Stuart: Hmm?
Tad: I mean, look at you. You're Adam Chandler. You don't care about doing good for the planet, do you?
Stuart: Of course not. I'm a -- I'm a -- a financier.
Tad: And that's the best part. Because even if people don't know your heart's in the right place, it doesn't matter because all they see is a ma transformed from selfish to selfless. A man that does all these amazing things with all that cash. And I'm talking about scholarships, legal defense funds, medical research. I'm talking about giving away millions and millions and millions.
Liza: Tad, Tad -- just wait a minute.
Stuart: No, no, no, you wait a minute, Liza. Just -- go on, go on.
Tad: Well, that's it. I mean, what's all that money doing right now, Adam? Where is I I mean, is it in the stocks and bonds or sitting in a vault somewhere? Or -- or may neither. Maybe it's just a bunch of code on a computer program somewhere. But what if suddenly it started turning into homes for the homeless, medicine for sick children. Imagine schools springing up in barren fields filled with books and computers and hot lunches? Hell, you could be Santa Claus and Zorro and Robin Hood all rolled into one. Your generosity could touch people for generations.
Stuart: Well, now, who cares? Means nothing to me.
Tad: No, but your public image does. You said it yourself. You're a financier. You're always going to make more money. Why not give some of it away in nice, big, juicy quantities?
Liza: Tad, you -- you -- you don't surely think that he is going to give all his money away?
Tad: No, I don't. But that's what's so great about this. With a media forum like this one, it'll just seem that way. But then again, I expect that Adam can make up his own mind. Right?
Stuart: I don't give a tinker's damn about the unemployed or the homeless. There's no excuse in this country to be poor. Not unless you're afraid of good, hard work.
Tad: Yeah, well, I know that and you know that, but for all --
Stuart: Now, shut up and let me finish. Please. Now, this -- in the business world, what you're talking about here is called a win-win situation. Now, if this proposal that you're proposing would make me and Chandler Enterprises look very good -- yes. Right. Yes. So. Fine. I'll do it.
Tad: Excellent. Excellent. Yeah, you see that? Just goes to show you, the bigger they are, the bigger they are. I knew you'd agree with me.
Stuart: Yeah. But only out of self-interest.
Tad: Absolutely. You know, with a little bit of luck, I think we can get this puppy rolling in no time at all. I'll have my people call your people.
Stuart: You have people?
Tad: I'm getting people.
Stuart: Oh.
Dixie well, I'm sure I should offer my congratulations, Adam, because you're going to make a lot of people very happy.
Stuart: Oh, thank you. And I would hope that you'd tell my son that his father is a very nice man.
Dixie: Well, yes, I will.
Stuart: All right, well, that's -- that's that. I'm out of here.
Tad: No, no, no. See, I've got a photographer from "The Wall Street Herald" waiting there in the wings. I say we, you know, take a little time out for a little photo op, you know, make an official announcement. Get that publicity rolling as soon as possible.
Stuart: An official announcement?
Tad: Mm-hmm.
Stuart: Right here and --
Tad: Right now.
Stuart: Now, you mean?
Tad: Now.
Stuart: Well, that would -- that would certainly be something that we couldn't retreat from, so there'd be no way of backing out. Fine. Let's hurry it up.
Dixie: Oh. What? What do you need?

Stuart: [Normal voice] did I do ok, Liza?
Liza: You did better than ok.

Tina: You know, this could easily become my favorite song.
Mateo: Yeah.
Tina: Would it be wrong for a boss and an employee to dance together?
Mateo: Oh. Um -- no. Except that the boss needs to check on the bar stock. Thanks, though, Tina.
Tina: Yeah.
Tina: Cool song, huh?
Adrian: Yes, it is. I do like.
Tina: Do you want to dance? Mateo says it's all right for a boss and an employee to dance together.
Adrian: Well, actually, if I was interested in being second in line, I would run for vice-president.

Jake: Happy? Tired?
Gillian: Happy.

Alex: This is very nice. You didn't have to do that. Thank you.
Edmund: Oh, this? Well, I felt like a cup of tea.
Alex: Oh. I'm sure. Just for the record, I was never in love with David. I couldn't stand him from the moment I met him. He seems to enjoy having power over vulnerable and fragile people. Women especially.
Edmund: Did he hurt you?
Alex: Only with what he did to Siobhan and the fact that he never took responsibility for what happened.
Edmund: So -- you're going to let him have his way again.
Alex: What?
Edmund: You're going to let him end up with Dimitri's foundation.
Alex: Haven't you been listening? There isn't going to be a foundation. I'll get together with Jackson, and we'll figure out a way to dissolve it. Maybe I can take the endowment and start up a foundation somewhere else in England or anywhere --
Edmund: Even so, you're letting go your responsibility. You're letting go of Dimitri's last wish.
Alex: But there's nothing I can do about that now.
Edmund: Except run away. You know, because you're afraid of David.
Alex: I'm not afraid of David.
Edmund: Well, if it's not fear, then what is it, Alex? Is David more important to you than your husband? I didn't think so. So quit being a coward. You stay and you fight him. For my brother's sake.

Jake: Well, it's time to go now. Princess.
Gillian: Cinderella.
Jake: Gillian, Gillian, Gillian. I love you.

[Applause]

Tad: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. I predict that this project is going to usher in a new age of philanthropy not seen since the days of Andrew Carnegie. I give to you our new benefactor, Adam Chandler, a Santa Claus for the new millennium.

[Applause]

Tad: Great, great. One more.
Stuart: [As Adam] no, no. No, no more, no. I am a very busy --

Alex: May I come in? I've got some good news for you. I've decided to go along with Joe Martin. I won't oppose you being named to the Andrassy foundation.
