["Joy to the World" plays]

Trevor: Yo, Adrian.
Adrian: Yo, Trevor.

Mateo: Sam --
Hayley: Whoa. Whoo. What do we have here, a stampeding elf?
Mateo: Hi.

Trevor: Will you look at that.
Adrian: Yeah. And the world stood still.
Trevor: When are they going to drop their false pride, huh?
Adrian: Oh, maybe a little divine intervention, maybe a personal visit from St. Nick himself.
Trevor: Ooh, or maybe just a gentle shove from a couple of close friends? What do you say? You still in?
Adrian: Oh, yeah. I'm always down for a little cupid connection.
Trevor: Oh.

Amanda: Do you think daddy will make it in time to see me dance?
Janet: Nothing could keep him away.
Amanda: Oh, look. It's Mrs. Claus.
Janet: Do we know her?
Amanda: Sure. She's in the "Nutcracker."
Janet: Well, as long as she's not a stranger. Well, Merry Christmas, Mrs. Clau--
Sophie: Ho-ho-ho.

Tad: No, that's terrific. Thank you. No, thanks for calling. Honey, that was Eli, calling from the station to give me the feedback on "Nothing but the Truth." It's amazing. It's all good. People love it. The affiliates are killing themselves trying to get a piece.
Dixie: That's great. Congratulations.
Tad: Yeah.
Dixie: You're a hit.
Tad: Yeah. I can't wait to tell Liza.
Dixie: Oh, she's going to flip.
Tad: We can only hope.
Dixie: Why, you're not so sure?
Tad: Well, I'd feel better if I knew the reason behind Stuart's little impersonation, you know? I mean, Adam must have crossed one hell of a line if Liza's divorcing him and his own brother's willing to give away his fortune.
Dixie: Now, come on. I mean, I don't like being kept in the dark, either, but Liza says she wants us to stay out of it. She says she's got complete control.
Tad: Yes, only because she thinks she's got the upper hand. You and I both know that Adam's pretty good at wiggling out from one disaster only to cause another.
Dixie: Now, come on. Would you just relax for a little while, ok? He's probably on the other side of the planet somewhere. He's out of our hair, and he's not bothering Junior. I say that's cause to celebrate.
Tad: I just hope it doesn't come crashing down on our heads.
Dixie: Hmm.

[Doorbell rings]

Dixie: Hey, I'll get it. I'll get that. Hello!
Brooke: Hi there. How are you?
Dixie: Come on in.
Brooke: We're back.
Dixie: Good. Come in.
Tad: You missed one hell of a show, Missy. How was New York?
Rae: Disappointing.
Tad: Huh?
Dixie: What happened? You didn't see him?
Rae: No.
Dixie: Daniel didn't show up?
Rae: No.
Tad: I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Dixie: Oh, I'm so sorry.
Tad: Listen, Rae. You know, as your friend -- you've been chasing this guy from one end of the planet to the other. You know, maybe it's time to pack it in.
Rae: No, Tad. I can't stop looking for him. I'll never stop. I can't believe you don't understand that.

Liza: You were hungry, weren't you? What have you been doing all day to be so hungry? You going to tell me? Have you been walking around and I didn't know it? And did you see all the shiny new ornaments? Aren't they pretty? Did you see all the pretty colors? I bet you liked all those pretty colors, didn't you? Wait till tomorrow. You are going to see some of the most beautiful ornaments and beautiful presents. You are going to have so much fun tomorrow. You know that?

[Noise]

[Colby babbles]

Liza: Really?

Barry: You ask an awful lot, you know that?
Adam: Did you bring it?
Barry: Seasons greetings to you, too, Adam.
Adam: Let me have it.
Barry: Oh, here. Here.

Liza: What do you think? Want to see some more things? You haven't seen these in a while.

Adam: Isn't it beautiful?

Liza: Remember this one? It's your favorite.

[Toy rattles]

Adam: Look. See how happy we are?
Barry: Can you explain how that trinket is going to turn Liza around? Because unless you plan to hypnotize her, I don't think waving that in her face is going to do the trick.
Adam: It's more than a trinket, Barry. This is a reminder of what was and what will be again -- before the New Year.

Liza: Do you like looking at your pretty eyes? Look at that. Look at that. Look -- that's me and you. That's me and you. Look at us.

Adam: Don't get too comfortable. Marian has a way of appearing when she's least expected. Barry, I want you to take this to Liza. Tell her I ordered it months ago, I wanted her to have it for Christmas.
Barry: Then why wouldn't you give it to her yourself?
Adam: How would I have gotten it, Barry?
Barry: Oh.
Adam: Think, think, think.
Barry: Sorry.
Adam: Tell her it was delivered to your office by mistake and, in lieu of the recent unpleasantness between Liza and me, you've decided to deliver it on my behalf.
Barry: Some unpleasantness -- divorce, unlawful imprisonment, impersonation --
Adam: Ok, can you save the recap? Liza still has feelings for me, Barry. I just talked to her. She still cares about me.
Barry: What did she say?
Adam: Well, not so much what she said but the way she acted when Stuart told her how concerned he was for me, how if I'm locked up I will probably die, that I will just wither away.
Barry: And she believed you?
Adam: No, she believed Stuart.
Barry: Ok, wait a minute. I'm lost.
Adam: Come on, pay attention.
Barry: All right.
Adam: She thought I was Stuart.
Bay: Why would she think that?
Adam: I went out to see Colby, and she caught me, so I was pretending.
Barry: You pretended to be Stuart? Now you're pretending, playing Stuart, and Stuart is playing you. Now, come on. This is getting too complicated.
Adam: You should have seen the concern in her eyes. She started asking a million questions right away.
Barry: About you, Adam?
Adam: Yes. She still loves me.
Barry: You, Adam?
Adam: Stop saying that. You sound like an old Tarzan movie.
Barry: But I feel like I'm in an old Tarzan movie.
Adam: Barry, all she really wants or has ever wanted is a family, a loving family of her own. Now, this locket is a tangible reminder that she already has one.
Barry: Adam, Adam -- it's a long shot.
Adam: Fine. Love long shots. It's going to work. I can feel it. Now, get out of here. And after you give that to Liza, go back to your office and draft a letter to Jake Martin explaining to him that he is not nor has he ever been Colby's biological father.
Barry: My off-- Adam, it's almost Christmas.
Adam: So what? Your wife left you years ago. You don't have any children. What else would you do?
Barry: Hey, hey, I've got a life.
Adam: I pay you not to have a life. Now, go on. Get moving. Oh -- Barry, you can -- you can expect a -- well, a hefty bonus this Christmas.
Barry: Thanks, boss. And you can expect a dry-cleaning bill for this suit.
Adam: Yeah.
Adam: Soon.

Dixie: So, what happened in New York?
Tad: Look, you know I don't mean to be insensitive, ok?
Rae: I know that. I'm the one that needs to apologize to you. It's hard. I feel like am so close to him that I could almost touch him. And then, just like that, he's gone again.
Brooke: I tried to contact my source in New York, but unfortunately he was on vacation for the holidays.
Tad: I'm sorry. It sounds like a lot of hard luck.
Rae: Yeah, it is.
Dixie: That must be so frustrating.
Rae: It is, but I can't let that stop me. I've got to find this guy. I've got to find him. I've got to find out what he knows.

[Loud noise]

Tad: Hello. That can't be good.
Dixie: What was that?
Junior: Mom, the microwave --
Dixie: What, what, what, what?
Jamie: We tried to help out with the pumpkin pie --
Dixie: Yeah, and?
Jamie: So we nuked the pumpkin.
Brooke: What?
Dixie: You didn't? You did? Oh. Come on, come on, come on.
Jamie: It's, like, blown up.
Rae: The pumpkin.
Brooke: Did you put the pumpkin in --
Rae: See what the disaster is.

[Becca comes out wearing the revealing halter top Leo gave her]

Becca: Hey, Dixie? Dix -- what -- what is that smell? Dixie?

[Doorbell rings]

Becca: I guess I'll get it.
Scott: Becca?
Becca: Not -- not at the moment.

Hayley: They're getting so big, huh?
Mateo: Yeah.
Hayley: You pulling uncle duty while Daddy talks to Santa?
Mateo: No, actually, Amanda asked me to bring them so that they could watch her dance.
Hayley: That's what I'm doing here. Wow. Amanda's going to have her own cheering section, right?
Mateo: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Hayley: How's Max?
Mateo: Oh, he's great, great. You want to go down? Yeah. Thanks for asking.
Hayley: You going to go see him for Christmas?
Mateo: Yeah, I'm going to go out -- fly down to Texas over the weekend. Got to stay here. Got to stay here.
Tina: Hey. I parked the car in section G.
Mateo: Oh.
Tina: Took me forever to find a spot.
Mateo: Ok.
Tina: Hi, Hayley.
Hayley: Hey. How's it going?
Tina: Great. Do you want me to take the kids and find a seat? We should probably try to get something up close --
Mateo: Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Tina: So that Sam and Maddie can see.
Mateo: Thanks a lot. Thank you.
Tina: Come on, guys.
Mateo: Ok.
Tina: Merry Christmas.
Hayley: Yeah. You, too.
Mateo: Happy holidays.

Trevor: What was that?
Adrian: Well, as far as Mateo's concerned, it was a diversionary tactic. But I think Miss Tina's going for the little preemptive strike, myself.
Trevor: Yeah? She got good aim?
Adrian: Oh, she's way off the mark. But I got to give her credit. She continues to try. Listen, I got some more shopping to do. I'll talk to you later.
Trevor: Hey, money talks, nobody walks.
Adrian: Yeah.

Amanda: I love your costume.
Sophie: Thanks.
Amanda: I have eyeliner, blush, and plum lip-gloss on. Can you tell?
Janet: Sweetheart, maybe you should go over d check in with your director so she knows you're here.
Amanda: Ok. Wish me luck.
Janet: You're going to be just great.
Sophie: Break a leg. Amanda's a good little dancer, so light on her toes.

Janet: What the hell are you doing here?
Sophie: Waiting for my cue. I've got a starring role.
Janet: Mrs. Claus isn't even supposed to be in the "Nutcracker."
Sophie: Directorial license. Everything is open to interpretation.
Janet: Yeah, well, interpret this. I gave you money to leave town. Now, leave.
Sophie: I don't think so. I like it here.
Janet: We had a deal.
Sophie: I've changed my mind. You think you're the only one with dibs on the good life.
Janet: You make yours someplace else. This is my life. I live here. You can't have it.
Sophie: My, my, my. What a selfish girl you are. Careful -- or you'll find worse than a lump of coal in your stocking.
Janet: What did you do? Did you spend the money I gave you on jewelry and manicures?
Sophie: Well, what do you expect me to do with the dough? I can't exactly open an account at Pine Valley Savings and Loan. Mutual funds aren't much good when you're on the run. And it doesn't matter, anyway, because I've done more checking into the cost of plastic surgery. 50,000 Bucks is like spitting in a lake.
Janet: Well, it'll have to do.
Sophie: I am not turning myself over to some quack. I want the best, and the best is very expensive. So you're going to have to come up with a lot more cash.

Trevor: Hey, babe. I didn't know you knew Mrs. Claus personally.
Janet: I'm so glad you made it, sweetheart. Trevor: I've been here. I just -- I ran into Adrian. So, you in the show?
Sophie: Santa and I both know if you've been bad or good. So be good for goodness
Trevor: Ho-ho-ho. Talk about being into your role. Not -- doesn't hold a candle to you, though.
Janet: Me?
Trevor: Oh, your stellar performance as Mrs. Axel Green. Are you kidding me? It wasn't exactly perfect because I did get on to you.
Janet: Why -- why are you even thinking about that?
Trevor: Are you kidding me? It's practically our anniversary. It was a year ago, this very spot. Don't tell me you forgot.
Janet: How could I forget one of the most wonderful days of my life?
Trevor: Yea

[Janet remembers…..]

. Trevor: Will you listen to me, what I'm saying? I love you. I love you like Ireland loves the green, like New York loves the Yankees, like grass loves the rain. I want to be with you through thick and thin, through the whole nine yards, the long haul, all 19 holes. I want to have a wild and woolly Dillon family with you. Marry me.

Janet: For better or for worse.
Trevor: Forget worse. It's clear sailing from here on in. All those people that said we were making a mistake, that we wouldn't make it. We made it. We're going the distance.

Scott: Let me guess. You're Trixie Tyree, Becca Tyree's evil twin.
Becca: Ha, ha, ha. Very funny. No, no, no. Leo gave me this thing, and he practically dared me to try it on. So that's what I'm doing.
Scott: Has Leo already seen you in it?
Becca: No, no, no, no. You're the only person that's seen me in it. And as a matter of fact, you're the only person that's going to see me in this.
Brooke: Glad you didn't do that at our house.

[Laughter]

Becca: Great.
Tad: Try it at school --
Becca: Shoot.
Tad: You know, the teachers, lounge, call it a science experiment.
Dixie: Oh, don't you give them any ideas.
Junior: Whoa, Becca. You and Scott doing a little music video?
Dixie: Mind your manners. Look at that pony top. That's --
Becca: Well, you see, I was just trying -- trying it on.
Dixie: Oh.
Becca: Yeah.
Dixie: Well, honey, say something.
Tad: Hi ho silver.

[Boys laugh]

Dixie: It's a bold look. Not everyone could pull it off.
Tad: I don't know. Maybe Vegas, Atlantic City.

[Doorbell rings]

Becca: You know what? I'm going to change.
Dixie: I'm going to go get the door. Myrtle --
Myrtle: Hi, darling!
Dixie: Hi.
Myrtle: Who wants cookies?
Dixie: Come on in.
Jamie: Me!
Myrtle: Oh --
Junior: Oh, I do.
Myrtle: Happy holidays, everyone.
Dixie: Happy holidays. And what a pleasant surprise.
Brooke: And, Myrtle, what brings you here?
Myrtle: I'm delivering my Christmas cookies. Oh, I'm glad you're here, Brooke. Something I want to ask you. Save me a trip.
Brooke: Oh, listen, Myrtle, have you m
et Rae? Rae Cummings. Myrtle: No. No, I haven't.
Brooke: This is Myrtle Fargate.
Myrtle: How do you do?
Rae: Myrtle. It's very nice to meet you.
Tad: What do you say we get into those cookies, maybe turn on a little music? Junior, come on.
Junior: I'll put on a C.D.
Tad: How about some hot cider?
Myrtle: Oh, lovely. I could use a cup or two.
Tad: All right, boys, make sure you clean this mess up, ok?
Dixie: Let's just take this over and --
Myrtle: Yeah. I want to ask you something about --

Junior: I know what you're getting.
Jamie: How?

Myrtle: You know that --

Junior: Mom told me.
Jamie: You don't know what I'm getting.
Junior: Want to bet?

Dixie: Total pandemonium, huh?
Rae: Yes, but happy pandemonium.
Dixie: It's killing you, isn't it?

Liza: Well, what brings you by here this evening, Barry? Try to keep your voice low. I'm hoping she'll go down for a nap or something. If you're looking for Adam, I haven't seen him. I don't know where he's at.
Barry: Well, I'm not surprised. He's very hard to reach these days. Actually, I came to see you.
Liza: Oh. Well, if you want to talk about the divorce or something, I hope that you'll call Jackson. Otherwise, I'm trying to get Colby and me ready because we're going to go to the Martins'.

Adam: No. There will be no Martin Christmas.

Barry: It'll only take a few minutes. May I? Like I said, I have been trying to get in touch with Adam, but he's very difficult to reach these days.
Liza: Well, I'm not in control of Adam's whereabouts.

Adam: Will you interrupt her? Just get to the point.

Barry: Not really why I'm here, either.
Liza: Well, what is it, Barry?

Adam: Go ahead. Give her the locket.

Barry: I have something for you. It was delivered to my office by mistake. It's from Adam. I know he ordered it for you a few months ago. I wanted to make sure you had it in time for Christmas.
Liza: I'm sure he probably has even forgotten that he ordered it. And, under the circumstances, I wouldn't feel right taking it.
Barry: Oh, Liza, it's Christmas. I'm quite certain he'd want you to have it. Open it. If you don't like it, I'll take it back.

[Colby coos]

Liza: Hmm. Oh, boy.
Barry: What is it?
Liza: A locket that Adam and I saw in an antique store in New York.
Barry: There a picture?
Liza: Yeah. Of Adam and me and Colby.

Adam: Oh, yes, she loves me. She loves me.

Liza: Hi, baby. All I ever wanted was a loving and happy family.

Adam: Me, too, Liza.

Liza: I want that for her. She deserves that, Barry.

Adam: That's all I wanted.

Liza: A loving and happy home.

Adam: Yes. I want that, too, Liza.

Liza: Not a father who's lying and stealing and cheating his way through life.

Adam: No. No, don't say that.

Liza: She deserves so much better. I deserve so much better.
Barry: Liza, Adam loves you and Colby very much.
Liza: "Love"? He doesn't know what love is, Barry. He wants to control me. He wants to control his own daughter.
Barry: I know he --

Adam: No.

Barry: Has your best interests at heart. He genuinely cares about you and Colby. Won't you keep the locket?
Liza: And what, wear it around my neck like some sort of I.D. Tag, as a reminder of what kind of fool I was? No. Please take it back.
Barry: Oh, Liza --
Liza: I don't want it.
Barry: Liza, please.
Liza: Come here, sweetie. You -- you should leave, Barry. I'm sorry. Mommy didn't mean to get upset. It's good, right? Everything's good. Right? You're happy. You're my happy girl. You're my happy girl. Yes, you are. You're my happy girl.

Janet: I'm not that old Janet. I could never be like her again.
Trevor: I know that. I know that.
Janet: I'm glad because, I mean, I love my life, our family. I love you.
Trevor: I love you, too. Back at you, babe --
Janet: What?
Trevor: The camera -- in the car. I forgot the camera in the car.
Janet: Well, go get it. You promised Tim a videotape.
Trevor: Don't let them start without me, ok?
Janet: I won't.

Amanda: Mommy, can you hold my jacket?
Janet: Sure, sweetheart.
Amanda: Thanks.
Janet: Oh, you're going to be wonderful.

Hayley: Little girls are so much fun, aren't they? You get to dress them up. They get to be fairy princesses. I bought her so many cute things for Christmas.
Janet: I just want Amanda to enjoy her life and feel good about herself. I wasn't always able to do that growing up.
Hayley: Yeah, me, either. I think you're doing a wonderful job with Amanda.
Janet: Thanks. You're going to make yourself a great mother, too, one day.
Hayley: Yeah, I want that so much. Just seems like a dream that's drifting farther and farther out of my mind these days.
Janet: Why do you say that? You got plenty of time.
Hayley: We'll see.
Adrian: Hello, ladies.
Hayley: Hey, Adrian. What's up?
Janet: Hi. I've got to go check on Amanda. Good to see you. Merry Christmas.
Adrian: You, too. Hey, listen, you got a moment?
Hayley: Yeah.
Adrian: Could use some of your advice.
Hayley: What, about the club?
Adrian: Oh, no. No, no. Actually, it's about a necklace. I'm doing a little shopping for my mom, and I'm not quite sure if she'd like it.
Hayley: Well, I'd be happy to try it on for you.
Adrian: Oh.

Image: Look at me, Janet. Look at me. I told you to eliminate Sophie. I warned you she would never be satisfied. And now she's back. Not only that, she creeped into your kid's room and stole that Mongo Congo toy right off her pillow.
Janet: I know. I know!
Image: And if you don't act fast, Sophie's going to snatch Amanda away and you're never going to see her again.

Mateo: Janet? Hi.
Janet: Hi. I'm sorry. I didn't hear you walk up.
Mateo: Yeah, I know. You were, like, a thousand miles away. We have a couple spaces up front. You want to join us? Is Trevor going to sit with us?
Janet: Well, actually, he'll be busy videotaping the whole thing.
Mateo: Want to get down? Ok.
Janet: But I'll join you and the kids.
Mateo: Ok, come on. Yeah.
Janet: Great.
Mateo: Let's go. Let's get a seat.

[Applause]

Mateo: Oh, look at the dancers.

[Music plays]

All: We three kings of orient are bearing gifts we travel afar field and fountain

Myrtle: My, this is very traditional. I haven't strung popcorn for I don't know -- ah, well, who's counting. Anyway, it's been a long time.
Becca: Well, I haven't seen any get on the tree yet.
Myrtle: Smarty pants.
Dixie: Coming through. Beep-beep.
Myrtle: Oh.

Dixie: Hey. Holiday blues, huh?
Rae: I am really not scrooge. I love this time of year. Here.
Dixie: Well, it's just hard to be alone.
Rae: Yeah.
Dixie: Why don't you move out of the Valley Inn and move in with Tad and me?
Rae: Oh, no, no, no. I can't intrude on your family, Dixie.
Dixie: No.
Rae: No.
Dixie: It wouldn't be an intrusion at all. We'd love to have you. Listen, if you change your mind --

Tad: All right --
Dixie: Think about it, ok?
Tad: Get your coats! It's time to screech!
Myrtle: You know, I've got to be going back to that empty boarding house of mine.
Rae: Ah.
Dixie: That's right. I -- Gillian and Jake are staying with Ruth and Joe -- you know, Tad's parents.
Rae: Oh. You guys really love crowds, don't you? So, Myrtle, you really do have a boarding house?
Myrtle: I do.
Brooke: You know, it's not really a boarding house. You do know that. It's a bed and breakfast, and she is the most hospitable hostess.
Myrtle: You are partial.
Dixie: No, it's true. She makes all her guests sort of feel like wonderful extended family.
Myrtle: Listen, if you need a place to stay, I've got a room. Nobody's wandering around this old house except me, and I could use the company.
Rae: Yes, I would like to take a look.
Myrtle: Good, good. I'll take you over.
Rae: All right.
Dixie: Great.
Myrtle: Merry Christmas.
Brooke: Very nice.
Myrtle: Merry Christmas, everybody.
Dixie: I'll see you.
Rae: Yes. And, Brooke, thank you. I'll talk to you later.
Dixie: Ok. All right. We're leaving, too.
Tad: Let's get this show on the road. So, what's the story? You coming, Wilbur?
Becca: No, I think we're going to stay here and clean up.
Tad: Ah, very good. Where's Myrtle and Rae?
Dixie: Rae went to check out her new digs.
Brooke: My guess is that Rae will be staying with Myrtle for the holidays.
Dixie: Yeah.
Tad: Giddyup.

Barry: Face it, Adam. Liza isn't ready to consider a reconciliation. You're going to have to give her more time.
Adam: I don't have any more time. She wants to divorce me and take my child away. We have to go to plan B.
Barry: How many plan B's are there, exactly?
Adam: As many as it takes to get my wife and child back. Now, contact my pilot. Tell him I want the plane ready to go new year's eve to take Liza to Monaco.
Barry: Liza's flying to Monaco?
Adam: Yes. She just doesn't know it yet. She's going to get an invitation from Todd Tanner to sit on a panel at the world television conference. Now, draft these instructions into the invitation and have it messengered to her right away. Non traceable, of course.
Barry: Family carnival, child care provided. This sounds like fun. This is the first I've heard of this conference.
Adam: Yeah, quite exclusive. Liza, Colby, and I will be the only ones there.
Barry: Adam -- Adam, you don't need to add a double kidnapping to your list.
Adam: I need to do whatever it takes to restore my family. I need some time with Liza to explain to her what I'm doing! Now, go on. Get out of here. And don't forget -- I need proof of paternity, too. Oh -- one last thing. That letter to Jake Martin --
Barry: Yes.
Adam: Once we're airborne, deliver it personally.

Adam: Hi, Colby. Hi, sweetheart. How are you? Oh, look at you. Oh, I'm sorry this Christmas hasn't been everything I planned. But next year -- next year and the year after that and the year after that, we're going to be together -- you and me and your mom. I promise you. I've got a plan. We'll always be together as a family. Ok?
Nanny: Mr. Chandler. What are you doing with Colby?

Rae: Brooke and Dixie were right, you know. This is much more like a home than a boarding house.
Myrtle: Well, it is my home.
Rae: Yes.
Myrtle: And it can be yours, too, for as long as you need it.
Rae: Why don't I call the Valley Inn. I'll have them send my things right over.
Myrtle: Ah, wonderful.
Rae: Ok.
Myrtle: Oh, it'll be so good to have you here for the holidays. I hate celebrating alone.
Rae: Yes.
Myrtle: Listen, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to put the kettle on, make some tea.
Myrtle: Hey. Hey, hey --
Rae: Oh. Myrtle, I'm so sorry. I -- I don't know what's gotten into me. Oh. You know what? I don't want you to worry about me. I'm really not a lunatic. I'm not.
Myrtle: I'm not worried. I'm not worried at all. Something's bothering you. Hey, listen. You know, sometimes -- just sometimes -- it's easier to tell your troubles to someone you don't know than to someone you do.
Rae: You're a very wise woman. You know that?
Myrtle: Experience is a good teacher.
Rae: Yes.
Myrtle: Do you want to tell me what's hurting you so?
Rae: I have a husband. His name is Daniel. He took a great deal of my money, promised me that he would help me find something -- something I lost a long time ago. He said he could. He promised.
Myrtle: Well, did he?
Rae: I don't really know. He hasn't been in touch, if you know what I mean.
Myrtle: And he's gone off with your money and your hope.
Rae: Yes. That's exactly what he did.
Myrtle: What did you lose?
Rae: My daughter.

Hayley: A star is born!
Trevor: What are you talking about? She was born a star.
Janet: You really were great.
Amanda: Thanks. I can't believe I tripped. Must have been the cords.
Mateo: Did you trip?
Amanda: Mm-hmm.
Mateo: No, I thought you were great.
Tina: I think you were terrific.
Amanda: Thanks.
Adrian: I didn't know you were such a Tchaikovsky fan.
Tina: I'm versatile.
Adrian: I see. Listen, cupid needs a planning session.
Trevor: You got it. Give me a call.
Janet: Trevor?
Trevor: Yeah?
Janet: Would you take Amanda home for me? I volunteered to help clean up after the performance.
Trevor: Oh. Yeah, sure.
Janet: Take her coat.
Trevor: Don't be too long, ok?
Janet: I won't.

[Janet gasps]

Sophie: I need some money, sister. You got that?
Janet: Well, I don't have any more!
Sophie: Now, that's what you said the last time, but you were holding out on me. Are you holding out on me now? Because that would be very foolish. Oh -- tell Amanda that it wasn't that she tripped on the cord. She tripped on me. Yeah, but she should be careful because next time she might break her neck.

Rae: I had no idea what I was doing. I remember feeling afraid all of the time. When my Uncle Clive told me that my daughter had died, I wanted to believe that, of course.
Myrtle: Well, of course you did. He said he was a minister.
Rae: Right. Just I never once -- not once, Myrtle, did I ever just ask myself "what if." God, I really hate myself for that. I really do.
Myrtle: Darling, you were a child yourself.
Rae: I know.
Myrtle: Now, you've got to stop tormenting yourself about that.
Rae: A lot of time has passed. A lot. You see, I got a letter from my Aunt Clarice just before she died, telling me that my daughter was alive. I tried to get to her in time, but she had already gone, so I don't know any more than that.
Myrtle: Well, at least you know you had a healthy child.
Rae: I know. I just keep wondering if she was raised by someone who really loved her. I just can't even imagine my cousin selling my baby to an attorney -- what, to protect my reputation? I mean, do you believe that's what they said to me -- "protect my reputation"? When it's their reputation I'm sure they were trying to protect.
Myrtle: Times were very different then, darling. Look, you just have to make peace about it for your own sake, if nothing else.
Rae: Maybe I will one day. Maybe. When I found out, my whole focus has been in trying to find my daughter. I gave Daniel whatever he needed to help him find her. I have no idea where he is. I keep trying to see him, to have him tell me, and -- and he wants to stay hidden from me. I just -- I just had some crazy idea that we might spend Christmas together, you know?
Myrtle: You know, darling, I believe in miracles. Sometimes they do happen. You know, it may be more than a coincidence that you're here in Pine Valley. There are lots of people -- lots of people here who can help you. And you can count me amongst them.
Rae: Thank you.
Myrtle: Could I make you some tea? Hmm?
Rae: Yes, I would really like that.
Myrtle: Ok. Coming up.

Rae's voice: No new leads, but I actually feel hopeful for the first time in weeks.

Adam: [As Stuart] my wife, Marian, asked me to bring Colby down to the gatehouse. We have a present for her. I'm sure she called Liza about it.
Nanny: Mrs. Chandler's taking a bath. But I guess it's ok.
Adam: Ok.
Nanny: Do you want me to put Colby in her suit?
Adam: Oh, no, no, no, no. I don't think so. Maybe a blanket.
Nanny: Oh, no. Take this.

[Colby coos]

Nanny: Yes.
Adam: Oh, she's so happy.
Nanny: Wrap her in that. There. She's all set.
Adam: Ok.
Nanny: Oh -- you should take the diaper bag.
Adam: Oh, yes. Thank you.
Nanny: You never know.
Adam: Yeah. Ok. Here we go.
Nanny: Don't you need a coat?
Adam: No, no. No, I don't need one. It's just a short walk down there. I'll be fine.
Nanny: I'll get the door for you.
Adam: No, I can get the door.

All: We three kings of orient are bearing gifts we travel afar field and fountain moor and mountain following yonder star

Becca: What's this?
Scott: It's a present for you.
Becca: Oh, but it's not Christmas yet.
Scott: It's ok. This one you can open early. Really. Open it. Open it.
Becca: It doesn't have any fake pony fur on it, does it?
Scott: No.
Becca: Ok.
Becca: Oh, my -- it's my Jammy stocking. How did -- how did you --
Scott: I knew it was your first Christmas away from home. So I got your mom's number from Dixie, and I gave her a call, and I got her to send it to me before she went to California. She's a really nice lady, Becca, and she sends you her love. I hope it was ok.
Becca: Oh. This is the nicest present anyone has ever gotten me. It really feels like Christmas now. I didn't -- I didn't realize how much I miss them. Thank you.

Janet: Don't you ever, ever threaten Amanda again. You hear me?
Sophie: If you don't cough up some more dough, I'll do more than threaten. Want to test me and see? I am the mistress of disguise. I will never be seen coming.
Janet: Here. Here! Here! It's over $100. It's all I've got.
Sophie: For now.
Janet: This cannot continue.
Sophie: It can as long as I say it will. Look. You say you don't have any dough, and yet you're throwing your money around.

Image: Now's your chance. Do it. Do it.

[Janet picks up a giant candy cane and hits Sophie over the head with it]
