ALL MY CHILDREN

DECEMBER 20, 2000



Greenlee: You're not having second thoughts, are you?
Ryan: Can't afford to.
Leo: Home sweet home.
Greenlee: As agreed, a cashier's check for the full amount. Keys, please. You can go now.
Ryan: Hold on a second. I need you to sign the purchase agreement first.
Greenlee: And Leo. We're buying the place together.
Ryan: Dude, you are in so far over your head, you have no idea.
Leo: You better read it first.
Ryan: It's the standard contract. I'm selling the place furnished except for the itemized list on the last page.
Greenlee: Yeah, well, it works for me.
Ryan: I'll send you the copies tomorrow.
Leo: Now you can go.
Ryan: Tell you what -- I'll just stick around and grab the rest of my stuff, and after that, feel free to wield your ax.
Greenlee: Mm-hmm. I am so over that. Ah!

Leo: Greenlee!
Greenlee: Can you believe it? We're homeowners!
Leo: Now the world has gone crazy.
Greenlee: There's something I've always wanted to do.

[Leo applauds]

Gillian: What are you doing?
Greenlee: Uh -- home improvement.
Gillian: Does Ryan know you're in his loft?
Greenlee: Actually, it's my loft now, and Leo's. We just bought it.
Gillian: Ryan would never sell this place. I know.
Greenlee: Cash can be very persuasive. Ryan will do anything for money.
Gillian: No. He needs the money to pay his investors.
Greenlee: Why? Incredibledreams.com is going public. He'll be loaded, and so will they.
Gillian: Don't you know? The IPO has been called off.

Erica: Oh, Bianca, you are just to die for in these clothes. Here, Honey. Why don't you try this one on first.
Bianca: Mom, I've tried that one on a jillion times.
Erica: Well, then one more time won't hurt, right? I mean, we only get one chance to launch this holiday campaign, and the young enchantment couple campaign just has to be flawless. Ok?
Bianca: All right.
Erica: All right. Where's Leo? I told him to be here an hour ago.
Bianca: He'll show.

[Doorbell rings]

Bianca: Hold on. I'll get it. Laura, hi.
Laura: Hi. This is yours.
Erica: What are you doing here? I want you off my property.

Tad: I'm so happy you are here.
Dixie: Well, I wasn't sure at first.
Tad: Babe, are you kidding? Oh, man, this trip has been just hell without you.
Dixie: You just seemed a little preoccupied, you know?
Tad: Yeah, I know. I know. But I'm certainly not anymore. As a matter of fact, now that the boys are killing mutants down in the arcade, what do you say you and I try to rip the headboard off the wall? Huh?
Dixie: That's an excellent idea, but can we order room service first?
Tad: Oh.
Dixie: What are you in the mood for, Baby?
Tad: I don't think it's on the menu. Tease.
Dixie: Come on. What's your -- what's your temptation?
Tad: All right, fine. Anything you want, ok?
Dixie: Oh, really?
Tad: Your heart's desire -- champagne, foie gras, truffles.
Dixie: Ooh. How about chilidogs and candy bars and cereal?
Tad: I see. Ply me with rare delicacies.
Dixie: I plan to do more than that.

Jamie: Where are we going? What's the surprise?
Junior: Yeah, what exactly are we doing?
Leslie: Well, if I told you --
Jamie: It wouldn't be a surprise.
Leslie: That's right, but I promise it will be a wild adventure.
Jamie: Do we get to leave the hotel?
Leslie: Of course.
Junior: Tad told us not to leave the hotel. He told us to go to the arcade. He didn't mention anything about you.
Leslie: Well, it's so like Tad to forget.
Junior: This was his idea?
Leslie: Yeah. Well, it wouldn't be possible without him. And I know that he would be awfully disappointed if we don't go.
Jamie: Come on, Junior.

Liza: I was so nervous when you called, I almost ran from the gatehouse.
Adam: I couldn't give you any information over the phone, the car phone, because of the driver.
Liza: Well, are you a single man now?
Adam: Yes. But not for long, I hope.
Liza: Did you have any difficulties with the forger?
Adam: No, no, no, no. My man in Amsterdam is excellent. It took me a small fortune in guilders to get this, but it is brilliant and it's notarized. This is our new beginning, Liza. Nothing can stop us now.

Winifred: Mr. Chandler, thank heaven that you're home.
Adam: Oh, Winifred, what do you want?
Winifred: It's your daughter, Sir. She's been arrested for murder.
Adam: Hayley, arrested?
Winifred: Sir --
Adam: Well, where is she?
Winifred: Mr. Chandler? Mr. --

Hayley: Dad!
Adam: Hayley. Well, how did you get out? Who posted bail?
Hayley: What are you talking about?
Adam: Winifred? Winifred: Your daughter Skye, Sir.
Hayley: What about Skye?
Winifred: She's in jail. The police are saying that she tried to kill somebody.
Adam: What?
Hayley: We finally have something in common besides booze.
Winifred: She's already spoken to your lawyers.
Liza: To Barry?
Winifred: Yes, Ma'am.
Adam: Yeah, get Barry on the -- track him down! His number's in my study.
Hayley: What has Skye gotten herself mixed up in now?
Liza: Well, we'll know soon enough. In the meantime, your father has some news.
Hayley: Oh.
Adam: Oh, the divorce. It's official.
Hayley: Well, it sure is. I don't believe it. That's Arlene's signature. Well, if I didn't see it for myself, I certainly wouldn't have believed it. How did you do this, with money?
Adam: The best kind -- someone else's.
Hayley: Oh.
Adam: She's landed herself a rich widower, and suddenly being a divorcee was very convenient.
Hayley: Oh. Well, I'm very happy for you. I wish I could've, you know -- well, part of me wishes I could've gotten a glimpse of her new life, maybe even hear her forgive me, but, you know --
Adam: She told me to tell you that she loves you very much.
Hayley: Yeah, I got the Christmas present she sent.
Adam: Good. I helped her pick it out.
Hayley: I figured as much. I didn't think that Arlene was really the music box type.
Adam: Yeah, well, she -- she was hoping you'd like it.
Hayley: I do now that the shock has worn off. Thank you.
Adam: For what?
Hayley: Well, I mean, you could've gotten your signature and gotten out of there, but instead you stuck around so you could fix our relationship.
Adam: I would go through hell for you, Hayley. Don't you know that?

Laura: I'm just dropping off prints I made of Leo and Bianca.
Erica: You spread vicious rumors about my daughter, and you're still angling for a job?
Laura: I'm honoring the terms of our agreement. The last thing in the world I want is to work for you.
Erica: Well, then you're going to get exactly what you want because you will never work for me. I don't hire liars, but I will make sure that everyone knows the truth.
Laura: Oh, you'll make sure everyone knows the truth about me?
Erica: You and your mother are destroying my daughter with your terrible, terrible, destructive lies! It's my responsibility.
Bianca: Mom, please.
Erica: Yes, I'm going to make sure everybody knows.
Bianca: Stop! Ok, Laura's my friend.
Erica: Oh, Honey, Bianca, Laura is not your friend. Laura is just as jealous of you as her mother has always been of me.
Laura: Oh, please. This is ridiculous.
Erica: Honey, you are at the epicenter of a national campaign. Laura is nothing but a troubled --

[Telephone rings]

Erica: Ugh.
Laura: I don't have to listen to this.
Bianca: Laura, please, please don't go.

Erica: Leo, hello. Yes.

Bianca: Laura, wait! Wait. My mom was horrible. I'm sorry.
Laura: It's not your fault.
Bianca: Look, I didn't mean to hurt you. Can't we start over or something?
Laura: I don't think so.
Bianca: Laura, your friendship means so much to me.
Laura: Friends don't lie to each other.
Bianca: I don't want to lie to you.
Laura: Well, then will you tell me what really happened on Ryan's yacht?
Bianca: I can't.
Laura: Well, then you're just as guilty as whoever it is you're trying to protect. They're lucky to have such a loyal friend.
Bianca: It's not the way you think.
Laura: Well, I don't know what to think anymore.
Bianca: Mom, where are you going?
Erica: Honey, you stay here. I just have to take care of something.

Leo: I just blew off Erica, my first official act as a homeowner.
Greenlee: You did it for me?
Leo: Erica needs to understand that I have more important things to do.
Greenlee: Like?
Leo: Fix the bathroom faucet. I'm going to go see if Ryan knows how to fix that drip. Hey, you two -- and I mean it -- keep your shoes on.

Gillian: I can't figure out how you do it.
Greenlee: Cash plus a premium. Works every time.
Gillian: Not the loft. Leo.
Greenlee: It's called love.
Gillian: Love? You tried cloning me to get Ryan to fall in love with you. Who are you pretending to be for Leo?
Greenlee: Leo loves me for who I am.
Gillian: Greenlee, I don't think you know who that is, and neither does he.
Greenlee: You're just bitter because you're stuck with a loser.
Gillian: I pity you. One day you're going to get so caught up in your own lies and Leo is finally going to see the truth about you, and he'll leave.
Greenlee: Ok. You're definitely off the list for the housewarming party.

Leo: Hey, we miss anything?
Greenlee: Just girl talk.
Ryan: Hey.
Gillian: Listen, I'm sorry about the loft. I know how much it meant to you.
Ryan: Yeah, well, the place was getting too gentrified.
Greenlee: Gillian told me incredibledreams.com isn't going public.
Ryan: Well, the day just gets better and better and better for you, doesn't it, Greenlee? Do you want to twist the knife? I think there's a spot in my back that you missed last time.
Greenlee: Actually, I'd rather take a few measurements. Leo?

Gillian: Hey, listen. Why don't we try to forget about selling the loft and the IPO and all that stuff just for tonight, and we'll buy a Christmas tree and we'll decorate it and we'll have some cookies and we'll make love and --
Ryan: I have let so many people down that believe in me, Gillian, and I'm about to lose a company that I poured my entire soul into. I'm fresh out of Christmas spirit, ok? I got to go deposit this check. I'll call you later.
Gillian: Ok. Call me, ok?

Leo: Anything you want? Any personal stuff?
Gillian: Oh. No. I like you, Leo. I hope you're going to be happy here.
Leo: I already am.
Gillian: Be careful.
Leo: Oh. Oh, now you tell me about the high crime rate.
Gillian: Greenlee. She'll do anything to anybody, even the man she loves. Don't trust her.
Leo: I don't want to hear it. Ok? You don't know her like I do.
Gillian: You're right. I know her a lot better.
Leo: Stop, Gillian. Not another word, ok? Just --

Greenlee: Thank you.

Tad: Oh, Sweetie! You know what we got to do? We got to take in the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. Oh, then we can go see the Christmas show with the Rockettes! Yeah. After that, I should be ready for ice cream.
Dixie: Do you want that with whipped cream or without?

[Dixie giggles]

Tad: Le rowr. Thank you, God.
Dixie: What about the boys, hmm?
Tad: What about them? I'm in tight with the room service wait.
Dixie: Hmm.
Tad: Yeah. Bet for a couple extra bucks he'd be more than happy to keep them occupied.
Dixie: Excellent.

[Knock on door]

Dixie: Oh.
Tad: Why? Why?

[Knock]

Tad: It's the champagne, Sweetie. I'm sorry. I'll get it.
Dixie: Oh, ok. You know what, though? I think I'm going to wait in the bathroom.
Tad: Yeah. Don't take off the heels.
[Dixie laughs]

[Knock]

Tad: Ah. Evan, my good man.
Evan: There you go.
Tad: Right there is fine. Thanks.
Evan: All right.
Tad: You got the bill?
Evan: And for you --
Tad: Terrific.
Evan: Oh --
Tad: Got a pen?
Evan: Uh --
Tad: No, it's all right. It's right over here. I got one.
Evan: Hey.
Tad: How about that, huh?
Evan: That's a beauty.
Tad: Actually, this is a gift from my wife.
Evan: Yeah, well, she's got great taste.
Tad: Oh, Evan, couldn't agree with you more.
Evan: Oh, that is very generous, Sir. Thank you.
Tad: Listen, that's nothing. I'll double that if you do me a small favor.
Evan: Oh, absolutely, if I can.
Tad: I got my sons, two small boys, down in the arcade. They're playing video games. One's blond, he's about yea big. The other has got brown hair, he's got freckles.
Evan: Mm-hmm.
Tad: Do me a favor and make sure they stay there? You know, for about a half an hour? You know, maybe even give them a tour of the kitchen?
Evan: Is one of them named Jamie?
Tad: Yeah, that's right.
Evan: Oh, yeah. They left the hotel.
Tad: What?
Evan: Yeah. They left with a gorgeous brunette -- whoo.
Tad: Brunette?
Evan: Serious gams.
Tad: Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. What are you talking about? She's about yea high, got brown hair, wearing a red shirt and a black jacket?
Evan: Yeah, yeah, that's her. Is there a problem?
Tad: I don't know.
Evan: Because I assumed everything was all right. I mean, they were laughing. The little guy was holding her hand.
Tad: Yeah, right. Uh, right. Here. There we go.
Evan: Well, thank you very much, sir. Well, you certainly have the Christmas spirit.

Tad: Leslie, what have you done?

Adam: Hayley, I know you'd like to see Arlene for yourself and, well, make things right with her. But I hope it can give you some peace of mind just knowing that she's making a better life for herself. And she loves you very much and wants only what's best for you.
Hayley: Well, I -- I want that for her, too. I really do. I mean, I completely pity this new man in her life, but you never know. Maybe she learned her lesson and --

Winifred: Mr. Chandler, Mr. Shire's holding on the phone.
Adam: Oh, good. Excuse me.

Liza: Poor Skye. She's not exactly the behind-the-bars kind of girl.
Hayley: Murder. You know, my gut reaction was, "Of course she did it," and then I started thinking. You know, the only thing that separates me from my sister is the fact that I wasn't arrested. I'm assuming my father told you everything that happened.
Liza: Yeah. It's horrible.
Hayley: I thought I knew myself, and then in the blink of an eye, my hands were around my mother's throat choking her, and it terrifies me that such a violent person lives inside me.
Liza: It doesn't anymore. You have Arlene out of your life.
Hayley: That's kind of a little simple, don't you think? I mean, I almost murdered my mother. What if I did? I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

[Knock on door]

Bianca: Rain.
Rain: I saw that your mom's car was gone. I thought we could hang a while. Unless it's not a good time.
Bianca: No. I actually really need to talk to you. Come on in.
Rain: What gives?
Bianca: Can you keep a secret?
Rain: Who am I going to tell? Yeah. Hey, I swear.
Bianca: Ok. I was on the Fidelity.
Rain: That freaky drug bash? I heard about it on the news. All those dweebs got zonked. Must've been a blast.
Bianca: It wasn't.
Rain: Were you high?
Bianca: I guess. I -- I passed out.
Rain: That's a drag.
Bianca: That's not the worst of it. You know Laura English from the community center, don't you?
Rain: Mm-hmm.
Bianca: Well, Greenlee shoved her overboard.
Rain: No way.
Bianca: Yeah. I'm the only one who saw what happened.
Rain: Is Laura all right?
Bianca: Yeah, but she almost drowned, and now she's totally freaked out because she doesn't know who did it.
Rain: What are you waiting for? That Greenlee skank so deserves to be busted.
Bianca: Greenlee told Laura that I did it.
Rain: What? That bites. Look, you cannot let Greenlee get away with spewing a lie like that.
Bianca: It's not that easy, rain. I'm being blackmailed.

Leo: You know, you really could've mixed it up with Ryan about his IPO tanking, and you didn't.
Greenlee: Too easy.
Leo: I'm proud of you.
Greenlee: Besides, Ryan and incredibledreams.com are the past, and I am concentrating on the future.
Leo: That's right.

Erica: This is why you can't work? Nooky?
Leo: Erica, what are you doing here?
Erica: Look, I don't appreciate having to corral you like a child.
Leo: No, I told you on the phone. We don't need another fitting. I tried everything on yesterday. We're done.
Erica: Leo, you've just started! I mean, I realize this is all new to you, but your image is about a lot more than just looking good. I mean, tomorrow, you and Bianca -- you're going to be facing dozens of reporters. They're going to be throwing all sorts of questions at you.
Leo: Well --
Erica: You have to be prepared, Leo.
Leo: I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning. We'll go over everything then.
Erica: Leo. Leo, this is not a part-time job. This is your life! You and Bianca are the young enchantment couple. You are the epitome of a young, romantic couple. That means you have to be out there with Bianca, everywhere, together.
Leo: Look, absolutely. Absolutely. When I'm on the clock, I'm going to give 100% to you and Bianca. But when I'm off the clock, I'm with Greenlee.
Erica: But what about Bianca? She's depending on you. Listen, Leo, if you weren't so blinded by this witch, Bianca would love to have some of that attention thrown in her direction.
Leo: Please, Erica, get a grip. I can't make Bianca happy. When are you going to realize that the --
Erica: Please just don't. I know everything that's going on.

Tad: Come on, Leslie. Pick up the phone, please. Damn it.
Dixie: Is there a problem?
Tad: Uh -- room service forgot something.
Dixie: Oh.
Tad: I think it's the strawberries.
Dixie: We'll make do. So how much time do we have, big boy? Is the waiter going to help out with the kids? Oh, sorry. Sparked your nose.
Tad: I can't.
Dixie: What is wrong?
Tad: Dixie, I got something to tell you.
Dixie: It's not the kids, is it? They just went downstairs.
Tad: Oh, Baby, I don't know how to say this.
Dixie: Honey, what about the kids? You're scaring me.
Tad: Junior and Jamie left --

[Door opens]

Junior and Jamie: Surprise!
Junior: Hey.
Tad: Come here. Come here for a second.
Leslie: Oh. Did we interrupt?
Dixie: Hello, Leslie. I didn't know you were in New York.
Leslie: Oh, it was very last minute. Tad called me, and I couldn't say no.
Dixie: Really?
Leslie: Tad? Didn't you tell your wife that we were here together?
Tad: She's on retainer, so --
Dixie: Uh-huh.
Tad: Yeah, she's helping me out with the -- the Ryan Lavery IPO disaster. It's nothing.
Dixie: Do her duties include overseeing the kids?
Leslie: Oh, you know what? It was my pleasure. The boys were very entertaining. Tad told me how much you love roasted chestnuts.
Dixie: Oh. You remembered.
Tad: Hmm.
Dixie: I knew you were up to something.

Rain: Blackmailed?
Bianca: Yeah. If I tell Laura or Leo that Greenlee's the one who did it, she'll tell my mom that I'm gay.
Rain: That girl is twisted. Look, you've got to take control, Bianca. Tell your mom you're gay, then Greenlee has nothing on you.
Bianca: And my mom implodes and throws me out of the house. Isn't that what happened to you?
Rain: Look, my mom was looking for an excuse to get rid of me. Yours isn't. And I've never lied to my friends to save my butt.
Bianca: You think I'm a coward, don't you?
Rain: You've got guts, Bianca. Use them. Tell your mom who you are. Don't give someone like Greenlee the power to rule your world.
Bianca: There has to be another way.
Rain: Take a stand. Tell the truth. I got to go. It's your call.

Erica: Bianca genuinely cares about you, but you -- you've done nothing but use her.
Greenlee: Oh, who are you kidding? Leo has played nanny since day one because you can't deal with your own kid.
Erica: You stay out of this! You're nothing but a parasite, and everybody knows it. But you, Leo -- Bianca trusts you. She opens up to you like nobody else. I mean, you're going to throw that away? For what? Leo, do you have any idea how fragile Bianca is? I mean, you're going to break her heart when she finds out that you just used her as a meal ticket.
Leo: What? She is so much more than that, and I think you should go now. Please.
Erica: You're throwing me out?
Leo: Yes. Get out of my house.
Erica: Yours? Oh, come on, Leo. You've never owned more than a pair of socks.
Leo: No, no, no. Greenlee and I bought this place today.
Erica: Oh, I see. You're playing house with a trust fund brat? Oh, Leo, my -- you almost threw your life away now, flushed --
Leo: That's enough, Erica.
Erica: She's going to shred you like confetti.
Leo: Ok, that's it. I quit! I am done. I am finished. You can find yourself another young Mr. Lap dog.
Erica: Oh, you are so ungrateful. Don't you even think about trying to crawl back to me. And as for Bianca, you stay away from Bianca, do you understand?
Leo: No, I understand that a hell of a lot more than you do. Good-bye, Erica.

Hayley: How's Skye?
Adam: She's scared. But Barry's arranged for her to be represented by one of Llanview's best attorneys, Nora Buchanan.
Liza: So, what happened?
Adam: Well, the details are rather sketchy, quite frankly. Barry's going to try to fill us in later, he says.

Adam: Ryan, what are you doing here?
Ryan: I need to talk to you about incredibledreams.com, and, unfortunately, it's not good news.
Liza: Yeah, Tad told me it wasn't looking good.
Ryan: You should know that the company is not going public.
Adam: What? I thought you were going to rally your investors. I thought you were going to push your spinmeisters. What happened?
Ryan: The Donald Steele articles pretty much sealed the coffin, Adam. Nobody's going to touch incredibledreams.com, not with a drug lord running it. And, Liza, you had faith in me, millions -- millions worth, and I'm sorry I let you down.
Liza: Chandler Enterprise will take a hit, but we'll survive.
Ryan: Yeah, well, the company may not.
Adam: Yeah, well, so that's it? You're quitting?
Ryan: Adam, I've got the debt of a third-world country. I don't think I could -- I don't think I can bail that out.
Adam: Well, don't panic. Maybe I'll have an answer.
Adam: I'm offering to buy incredibledreams.com outright and assume its debt.
Liza: You will? And you don't think that you should discuss this with me?
Adam: Well, actually, my darling, I'm not part Chandler Enterprises anymore, remember? I'm buying this company on my own. Are you interested?
Ryan: It's tempting, Adam, but it's not the kind of help I'm looking for. I'm not ready to sell out.
Liza: Spoken like a true entrepreneur.
Ryan: Well, I'd better be going.

Hayley: Come on, I'll walk you out. Listen, Ry, I -- you know, I don't know anything about big business or -- I'm not into that stuff. But whatever your company means to you, just remember -- it's nothing compared to what you have with Gillian.
Ryan: Thank you, Hayley.

Adam: Ryan, here's my card with all my numbers. The offer's real, but it won't last forever.

Gillian: And there's a chance that Ryan may lose everything, and I just don't know how to help him.
Eugenia: Well, you have faith. Have faith. That's something I learned from your great-great-grandmother. I brought you something. I thought it might give you a smile.
Gillian: Oh. This is Great-Great-Grandmother Eustacia. It's exquisite.
Eugenia: Yes, it's a piece that always reminds me of her. Now it is yours.
Gillian: Oh, thank you. Thank you so much, Grandmama. Thank you. I will always treasure it.
Eugenia: Good.
Gillian: Didn't Great-Great-Grandfather give this to her?
Eugenia: Yes, yes, when he went off to war, with the promise that he would come back. Look at it, look at it. She has your beauty, and you have her spirit.
Gillian: But they were -- they were happy, weren't they?
Eugenia: Well, love is more than happiness, you know. I mean, all couples face sort of trials and tribulations. It's the lucky ones who face them together. Let Ryan lean on you, and soon enough he'll realize that your loving him is the most important thing in the world. You listen to me.

Tad: Oh!
Dixie: Whoa.
Tad: Whoa, are you nuts?
Dixie: He's nuts with nuts.
Tad: We've got guests, guys. Come on, let's take it easy.
Junior: Nuts about nuts.
Dixie: Hey, Leslie, you want -- oops! -- You want some?
Leslie: Oh, no. It's so kind of you to share, though.
Tad: Leslie's got to go, Sweetheart. The SEC is expecting my paperwork by noon tomorrow, remember?
Leslie: Yeah. I was having so much fun, I almost forgot.
Tad: Well, I haven't. Let me walk you to the elevator, ok?
Leslie: Dixie, don't get burned. Some of those nuts are very hot.

Leslie: I didn't know that Dixie liked chestnuts so much. Pretty lucky, huh?
Tad: It's not remotely funny. I'd like to roast you over an open fire.
Leslie: I thought it went pretty well.
Tad: You took my children without my permission. That's called kidnapping. It's illegal.
Leslie: What are you implying?
Tad: That you did it solely to get back at me.
Leslie: Oh, I just -- I ran into Jamie and Junior in the hallway. It was spontaneous. The idea came to me. It was spontaneous, just like you and me.
Tad: Leslie, there is no you and me.
Leslie: I think Jamie has a crush on me, too. Just like his daddy.
Tad: Don't you ever, ever go near my children again. Do you understand?
Leslie: You should've thought about that before you started our affair.
Tad: It wasn't an affair. It was 10 minutes on drugs.
Leslie: Well, if that's what you want to believe.
Tad: I don't know what's wrong with you, and I don't know what sick game you're playing. But if you ever do anything like that ever again, the first thing I'm going to do is call the police.
Leslie: And I'll cooperate completely. I'll tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Hayley: I'm really happy everything worked out for you both.
Adam: For all of us.
Hayley: Tell Skye I'm thinking of her.
Adam: I will do that. Good night.
Hayley: Good night.

Liza: Well, Arlene meeting a wealthy man and being the loving mother Hayley's always wanted -- I wish those stories were true.
Adam: They are as far as Hayley is concerned, and that's all that matters.

Winifred: Is there anything I can get you before I turn in?
Adam: No. No, thank you, Winifred. I'm afraid the jet lag's caught up with me.
Winifred: Good night, then.
Liza: Sleep well.
Adam: I will, after we've read our daughter her favorite bedtime story.

[Knock on door]

Adam: Oh. Whoever that is, get rid of them.

Stuart: Oh. Hi, Winifred.
Winifred: Hi.
Stuart: Is Adam here?
Winifred: Yes, but, you know, he already went upstairs. He's got a terrible case of jet lag.
Stuart: Oh. Did he go away somewhere?
Winifred: Yes, in Amsterdam.
Stuart: Amsterdam, wow. Why?
Winifred: He met Mrs. Chandler there, and they signed the divorce papers.
Stuart: Arlene?
Winifred: Mm-hmm.
Stuart: Oh. Oh, I'm so glad.
Winifred: Oh, aren't we all. Now, can I take a message for you?
Stuart: No, no, I don't think so. Think it'd be ok if I used the phone?
Winifred: Of course.
Stuart: Thanks. Oh, this is great. Derek? It's Stuart Chandler. Look, Arlene is not a missing person anymore. Adam just saw her in Amsterdam.

Ryan: I wanted to give you so much, so much, and now I have nothing.
Gillian: You're all I want. You're all I need.
Ryan: I wanted to have a spectacular Christmas with a sky-high tree with presents to the ceiling, with buckets of champagne.
Gillian: Hey, we'll be fine. You'll see.
We'll be fine. Ryan: Sure we will.

Greenlee: It's so perfect. Is it too perfect? Maybe I don't deserve to be this happy. You know, I haven't exactly been --
Leo: What, an angel? Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if you got a lump of coal in your stocking this year.
Greenlee: What if we can't make this work? What if I lose you? I don't know.
Leo: Hey, this Christmas is going to be a scrapbook of fabulous memories that we're going to make together.
Greenlee: Is it possible?
Leo: Greenlee, in our home, I promise you that you're always going to feel safe. You're always going to feel loved. There's nothing to worry about.

Bianca: Where is Leo?
Erica: He quit.
Bianca: What?
Erica: Oh, yes. He and that wretched Greenlee person -- they have bought a loft together. He's completely under her spell, although it won't last
. Bianca: What about the Enchantment campaign?
Erica: Oh, scrapped. But don't worry because I've had a brilliant idea, Honey. I don't know why I didn't think of it before.
Bianca: What is it?
Erica: I'm going to return to modeling.
Bianca: Oh, Mom, that's wonderful.
Erica: We are going to have the best time.
Bianca: We?
Erica: Yes. Can't you just see it? "Mother and daughter Enchantment -- the Enchantment glamour from generation to generation. The magic, the allure continue"!

Dixie: That's cool.
Jamie: Statue of liberty, down there.
Dixie: Yeah.

[Dixie and boys laugh]

Dixie: Hey, Honey. You want me to call to get tickets to the Christmas show?
Jamie: Can Leslie come?
Tad: James! Take your brother in the bathroom and wash your hands.

Dixie: Ahem. What's going on?
Tad: Nothing. We never got to have our champagne.
Dixie: Oh, yeah. You know, you've been acting kind of weird ever since Leslie was here. What's up?
Tad: Nothing, Baby. It's nothing, really. It's just -- you know, it's that -- it's that IPO disaster. It's a real mess.
Dixie: Uh-huh. You know, it's just kind of odd. You know, you didn't tell me that she was here in New York, and then, you know, that other time when she dropped by the house, you didn't tell me that she was there until I found her glove.
Tad: Honey, listen to me, ok? You never, never have to be jealous of somebody like Leslie. Leslie's just somebody I work with.
Dixie: Ok. Somebody who sparkles just a little bit brighter, though, when you're around.
Tad: I wouldn't care if she were on fire. You are my one and only.
Dixie: Baby, you're mine. Come on, I love you so much. We have so much. We can't let anything or anybody tear it apart, ok?

Leslie: Is this the Valley Inn? Yes, I'd like to book a room for Tad Martin.
