Greenlee: Did your brain freeze? I didn't push you off the yacht.
Laura: You and all your phony concern. You gave me a fancy camera to make me feel better? You did it out of guilt.
Greenlee: I don't know where you get your 411, but you've been misinformed.
Laura: Someone saw you do it.
Greenlee: I didn't do anything. Look, I'm just as much a victim here as you are. Somebody must really hate me to spread a lie like this. Who told you?
Laura: Someone I trust.
Greenlee: Then maybe you trust the wrong people.
Laura: Just tell me why you did it. What have I ever done to you?
Leo: Laura, I realize that you think that Greenlee is the one who pushed you over the boat, but she could never do anything that malicious, ever.
Greenlee: See? That's true. Somebody obviously has a vendetta against me, and I want to know who's trashing me behind my back.
Laura: Bianca told me.
Greenlee: Bianca? Well, that explains it. She's the one who pushed you in, and now she's putting it on me to save her own skin.

Bianca: Mom, I've been so worried. Why didn't you come home?
Erica: I was driving. I was driving all over -- to the beach, by the high school, to the park where you used to play when you were little. The swings were always your favorite. I did a lot of thinking.
Bianca: And crying.
Erica: Yeah, that, too.
Bianca: Are you angry?
Erica: I know exactly what I have to do. Come here, Bianca.

Ryan: What?
Gillian: You know, you're incredible. Just a few days ago, you wanted to ban Christmas and forget about the holidays, and now you're totally behind the Crystal Ball.
Ryan: Well, you are my inspiration. We may be broke, but we have lots to celebrate.
Dimitri: Come on, come on, Edmund. Just trust it. It's a brilliant game plan.
Edmund: Well, if everything goes according to plan, we'll have him.
Gillian: Who? What?
Dimitri: David Hayward.
Ryan: Wait a minute, what are you saying? You got a way to link Hayward to Alex's disappearance?
Dimitri: Yeah, yeah. And possibly the issue with Libidozone, thanks to my brother's ingenuity.
Gillian: How? Come on, tell us.
Dimitri: It's best that you're left out of the loop. Just trust us. David Hayward doesn't stand a chance.

[Doorbell rings]

Edmund: I'll get it.
Dixie: Hi. Merry Christmas.
Edmund: Hey, Dixie. Come on in. Thank you for helping out with this party.
Dimitri: Hello. You look gorgeous.
Dixie: Thank you so much.
Dimitri: You're welcome.
Dixie: Hi. I brought the list of the invitations that I sent out.
Ryan: Cool.
Edmund: All right, you guys have everything under control. We got to work out some details.

Dixie: Hmm. Those two look awfully pleased with themselves.
Ryan: Yeah. So, how are the RSVPS coming along?
Dixie: They're great. Thank goodness you two stepped in as hosts.
Gillian: Well, you know, this has been a very, very special Christmas for us, and we thought by hosting the whole Crystal Ball, it was just a great way to celebrate our love.
Dixie: That's great. I sense a little bit more, though, than Christmas cheer.
Gillian: Are you sure you're ok with working with me and Ryan?
Dixie: Oh, because of Jake.
Gillian: Well, I did hurt him very badly.
Dixie: I know. And you know that I love Jake and I'm very sorry that he's suffering, but I love you, too, ok? And I know that you follow your heart. So I'm very happy for the two of you.
Ryan: Thank you, Dixie.
Gillian: You know, you and Tad -- you've been through so much, and your love just keeps getting deeper and stronger, and that's what I want for us. I want us to be like that.

Tad: Hey, Mabel. What do you say, is my father ready for lunch yet?
Amble: Uh-uh. He's with a new patient. Here, take a magazine, read an article. He'll be done soon.
Tad: Yeah, I know the drill.

Joe: I see nothing but good news. Nothing here to indicate any physical reasons for your feeling run-down. Of course, stress or even depression -- that could be the culprit. Any unusual stress at the office? Any problems in your personal life -- family members, a boyfriend? This may seem awkward, given that this is your first visit, but I do hope you'll feel free to confide in me.

Brooke: Laura, Honey, are you all right? Leo: Now, let m
e get this straight. Bianca told you that Greenlee pushed you overboard.
Laura: Yes.
Leo: When did you talk to her?
Laura: When you and Greenlee were off getting your cider.
Greenlee: So Bianca just happens by and fesses up, and I'm the big, bad sea wolf?
Brooke: She was very shaken up, Greenlee. It wasn't an act.
Leo: What I don't get is why she took so long to tell you.
Greenlee: Exactly. I mean, if she was telling the truth, don't you think she would have piped up a long time ago?
Laura: I'm just glad she finally came forward with it.
Greenlee: But don't you see? It's more proof that she's guilty.
Laura: How do you figure that?
Greenlee: Don't tell me you haven't noticed how much Bianca enjoyed being your little buddy. She pushed you overboard for warped reasons of her own, and now she regrets it because you're m at her, as any sane person would be. It makes perfect sense. She wants to be your friend again, Laura, and what better way than to announce she knows who really did it? She thinks you'll be so grateful that you'll take her back.
Brooke: Yeah, but why name you, Greenlee? I mean, Laura's right, you and Laura hardly know each other.
Greenlee: Bianca hates me. I was the easy choice. What other explanation could there be?
Laura: Bianca's. She made perfect sense.
Greenlee: What else did she say?
Laura: She told me she couldn't tell me before because of a personal reason.
Greenlee: That covers a lot of territory.
Laura: Well, she says that reason doesn't matter anymore.

Erica: You really shocked me, Sweetheart. I mean, I had to clear my head. When you told me that you were --
Bianca: Gay.
Erica: Yes. I didn't know how to react, so I reacted badly. I wasn't thinking only of you and the suffering that you had done in keeping this secret and how you feared what my reaction would be. Oh, Honey, I never want you to be afraid to talk to me about anything.
Bianca: I knew that you would be hurt, Mom. I -- I didn't want to disappoint you.
Erica: I know, Honey. Dimitri actually helped me to realize that.
Bianca: You told Dimitri?
Erica: Yes. I -- I met him in the park, and he helped me to understand. I mean, all the suffering that you've done, and I just added to your hurt. But I want you to know that that will never happen again, that you are not alone in this, that I am with you every step of the way.
Bianca: What do you mean?
Erica: I don't want you to worry anymore. Mommy is here, and I'm going to fix everything.

Leslie: Dr. Martin --
Joe: No need to be formal, Leslie. My family will always be grateful to you for the help you gave Jake in his custody battle.
Leslie: That means so much to me. Your family is very special.
Joe: Thank you. I think so, too. So, what's troubling you?
Leslie: Well, it's nothing, really. I mean, I should be able to deal with it on my own. It's just so personal, and I really don't want to trouble you, especially when you need to -- to take care of people who are really sick.
Joe: Emotional problems take their toll just as well as physical problems do, and it's not wise to ignore them.
Leslie: Yes, well, I guess I just -- I don't want people knowing what's really wrong.
Joe: That's why we have what's known as doctor-patient privilege. Whatever you say stays in this office.
Leslie: Thank you. It's just I've never done anything like this before. I thought I could handle it.
Joe: Take your time.
Leslie: I've been having an affair with a married man.

Gillian: Here you go.
Dixie: Thank you.
Gillian: You're welcome.
Dixie: Well, you know, I mean, as much as Tad and I love each other, we have to work very hard on keeping our relationship going strong.
Ryan: So is this where you tell us the secret of a happy marriage?
Dixie: If only there was one.
Ryan: What are you talking about, Dixie? You have it.
Dixie: I think the only thing that you can really do is just take it one day at a time.
Gillian: Well, that sounds pretty easy.
Dixie: You'd be surprised. You can't ignore problems or become complacent or get distracted. Love isn't blind. It's easy to have temptation going on. But if y focus on what's important to you, then, you know, love will find a way. You should just follow your heart. Hey, David.
David: Dixie.
Dixie: Hey. David: What a
re you doing here?
Dixie: I'm helping out with the Crystal Ball.
Gillian: Yeah, she's helping me and Ryan.
David: Lavery. So this is how you're spending your days, huh?
Gillian: Drop dead, David.
Ryan: Very nice, Hayward, very nice. Even during the holidays. Excuse us. We have a lot of work to do.

Dimitri: That's right, get to work. Get to work. There you go. David, David, thank you for coming by. Thank you.
David: Well, you said that it was important.
Dimitri: Yeah, it is.
Edmund: With Alex missing, we're concerned about the day-to-day operations of the Andrassy Foundation.
David: What, you think that I can't handle it?
Dimitri: No, no, no, David. No, we just want things to run smoothly. Now, is there anything that we can do for you?
David: Well, as a matter of fact, there is. I brought this along since you asked me to come over. The Andrassy Foundation's bank account requires co-signatures. Therefore, the bank won't release any funds on checks that have been written only by me. Now, this form changes that status so that only my signature would be required. Obviously, it needs your approval to be valid.
Dimitri: That sounds reasonable to me.
Edmund: Now, wait a minute. Dimitri, hold on. That account was set up that way for a reason.
David: Are you saying you don't trust me with the foundation's funds, Edmund?
Edmund: I'm saying I think we should just hold off.
David: Look, I don't want to sound cold-hearted here, all right? But Alex has been gone for some time now. How long are you prepared to keep the foundation in limbo?
Dimitri: Edmund, David has a point here. He --
David: I'm sure that Alex would want the foundation to keep being a major player even without her presence, right?
Edmund: What's that supposed to mean?
David: It's just that we don't know where she is or if she's even alive.
Edmund: No, we do. Alex just called us.
Dimitri: Yeah. I talked to her myself.

Greenlee: Bianca's very sweet, if you like the type, but you can't possibly take her seriously. The girl's unstable. Nearly burning down Erica's house, trying to starve herself to death? Extreme is Bianca's middle name. She moves back to town, her dad dies, and the kicker is she lives under the velvet fist of Erica Kane. That's enough to make anybody snap.
Laura: I believe Bianca.
Greenlee: Shoving Laura overboard was just another thing Bianca's done to act out. Who knows what she'll do next.
Leo: Something doesn't add up. I mean, she's been through a lot, but she seems pretty well-adjusted to me.
Greenlee: She's always on her best behavior with you because she wants you to love her.
Brooke: I don't know what to believe now. But I think it's time to bring in the police.
Greenlee: No. I mean, this is probably just an accident. Or the Libidozone. And we can't hold Bianca responsible for something she did under the influence of a drug.
Laura: Well, I can't forget I almost died.
Greenlee: Bianca's obviously having a lot of emotional problems. Bringing in the police right now would just be much worse for her.
Laura: Oh, now you're concerned about Bianca?
Brooke: You know, you accused Bianca, Bianca accuses you, and there's no proof for either one of you.
Greenlee: What's the dilemma? I mean, you can either believe me, a member of one of Pine Valley's most respected families, or Bianca, the poster child for troubled teens.

Bianca: What exactly are you going to fix, Mom? Nothing's broken.
Erica: No, no, Honey. Of course not. You are a beautiful and strong girl who has faced more adversity than most people twice your age, starting with that really ugly custody battle where I lost you to Travis and Barbara. Oh, you must have felt so deserted. I mean, you were so little. And all you knew was that you were taken from me and you were given to a woman who always put her own children's needs first, before yours. I mean, it's no wonder that you were so confused. Barbara was such a bad stepmother to you, and you were taken from me. I know, Honey. I know you've spent your life looking for the mother's love you never had.
Bianca: And that's why I'm gay?
Erica: That's why you think you're gay. If you hadn't been taken from me and given to Barbara, none of this ever would have happened. I promise you, I will never abandon you again.
Bianca: You never did, Mom. Erica: Well, the most
important thing is that I'm here now. And, Honey, we can build a mother-daughter relationship that will fill that void in your life. Oh, Bianca, I'm going to try to make everything up to you. I'm going to try, sweetheart, so you don't have to look for other women in your life. You've got your mother back.

David: Alex called?
Dimitri: Yeah.
David: Well, what did she say?
Dimitri: That she's ok, not to worry.
David: That's all?
Edmund: What did you expect she'd say?
David: Where she is, why she left, what happened. I mean, the woman vanished without a trace. I'd like some answers.
Edmund: So would we.
Dimitri: Yeah, yeah, yeah. David, we were cut off, just cut off. Now, you worked together. Is there any clue that you might be able to give us?
David: Dimitri, I can't help you. I don't know anything. It's not like Alex ever confided in me.
Edmund: It's no secret you two never got along.
David: What are you suggesting, Edmund?
Edmund: Maybe she pushed you too hard. Maybe you pushed back that night on the yacht. Maybe things went a little overboard.
David: I don't believe this. You called me here to accuse me of doing away with Alex? I'm out of here.
Dimitri: No, no, David -- David, wait, wait. Whoa, hey, hey. These are just desperate times. We're just exploring every possibility.
David: I understand that, but I don't appreciate being treated like I'm a suspect. Dimitri, at the very least, I thought that we established a basis of trust when you were ill.
Dimitri: Absolutely.
Edmund: So you would tell us something if you knew anything?
David: Of course. Alex and I -- yes, we had our differences, but I hope you find her. And I mean that.
Dimitri: Thank you, David. Really, thank you. We're just -- you know, we're trying to exhaust every possible resource we have.
David: I would expect nothing less. So, have you found any leads or --
Dimitri: What -- let me -- why don't I sign this bank form for you. Excuse me just a second.
David: Sure. If you find out anything -- Edmund: I promise you you'll be the first to know.

Tad: I hear rumblings. I certainly know more than I need to about the mating habits of skinks. What are you doing here?
Leslie: I had an appointment with your father.
Tad: Why?
Leslie: I was a little under the weather.
Joe: She's going to be fine.
Leslie: He's been so kind. Thank you so much for fitting me into your schedule, Joe.
Joe: Anytime, Leslie.
Leslie: You know what? You're right. I feel better already.

Joe: Son?
Tad: So, what do you say? How about our lunch, huh? Something bothering you?
Joe: It's nothing.
Tad: Well, it's obviously something. Is it something about Leslie? What is it? What did she say?
Tad: It's all right, Pop. You know you can tell me.
Joe: Tad, that's confidential. You know? You should know that.
Tad: I don't mean to pry. It's just that she's doing a lot of legal work for Chandler Enterprises, you know, and if there's something up with her health, physical or otherwise, then maybe I can -- maybe I can help.
Joe: I think Leslie's capable of taking care of herself. She strikes me as a very independent and resourceful young woman.
Tad: I'd agree.
Joe: I just hope she can resolve the situation before it gets too serious. For her sake
. Tad: Don't we all.

Bianca: Mom, loving me won't cure me. I'm not sick.
Erica: No, of course you're not. But we have dealt with your eating disorder, and we will deal with this.
Bianca: No, being gay is not like having anorexia. Mom, you can't send me to a clinic and rehab me into being straight. A 12-step program is not going to change who I am.
Erica: Honey, you're still so young. You can't know who you are.
Bianca: Mom, I --
Erica: Look, I have it all planned. There are so many things that I've always wanted to share with you. I'm sure you feel the same way. Bianca, I just want to be a real, normal, full-time mom to you. We can shop, and we can travel. I can help you do your homework.
Bianca: You don't have to do that.
Erica: Honey, I know in the past that I have forced you into doing things that you didn't want to do, like the party and like modeling. Ok, I was wrong. And from now on, what you want will come first always. Honey, this is our chance to have the kind of mother-daughter relationship that I really always wanted us to have, and I know it'll help you find your way.
Bianca: To a husband and kids behind a picket fence? Mom, I know that you're just trying to help, but the two of us spending quality time together is not going to change who I am. Nothing will.
Erica: Honey, look. I know what you're trying to do. It's very sweet of you. But I insist on accepting my part in this.
Bianca: Your part?
Erica: Do you remember your intervention? You were so full of anger and rage. Honey, as much as I love you, I know that I have made some mistakes and they have affected you very deeply.
Bianca: But that is not why I fell in love with Sarah. Mom, don't you understand? It is nothing that you did or didn't do.
Erica: Well, something must have happened.
Bianca: No. No. I was born this way.
Erica: No, I don't believe that. You are just 16 years old. You can't possibly be certain what you feel.
Bianca: Mom, do you remember when you told me about your first crush on Phil Brent?
Erica: Yes, of course I do. I told you about the butterflies that I felt and our first kiss and how there was nothing else important in the world but us. Yes, Bianca. And those are the experiences I want you to have.
Bianca: I have, Mom. With Sarah.

Leo: This has never quite worked for me -- Bianca pushing Laura overboard.
Greenlee: I told you, Bianca was jealous.
Leo: She's not the jealous type. Laura, are you sure that you didn't misunderstand anything that Bianca said?
Laura: I'm positive. She told me Greenlee did it.
Leo: Greenlee didn't do it.
Laura: Leo, you can't let this go so easily. You have to listen to me.
Greenlee: Get away from him. Leo's mine.

Greenlee: Leo's mine! You got that?
Laura: Help!
Greenlee: There are other fish in the sea!

Laura: Oh, my God. I remember. I was in the water. I couldn't breathe. I heard you. I saw you. You yelled to me. You even laughed.
Brooke: Are you sure?
Laura: Mom, she pushed me. I'm sure. Greenlee did it.

Joe: There you are. Thank you.
Tad: So, where are we going, huh?
Joe: Well, I'll tell you, Leslie's appointment really ran longer than I expected. Would you settle for something from the cafeteria?
Tad: It's all right, really. It's no big deal. We can just reschedule.
Joe: Hey, hey, hey. It's not every day I get invited by you out to lunch. So sit down, sit down. Tell me what's going on.
Tad: Nothing, nothing. Same old same old.
Joe: Yeah? Something's on your mind. What is it?
Tad: How exactly do you do that? I mean, nobody handed me X-ray vision when I became a father.
Joe: You're stalling me.
Tad: Well, I -- I have a problem, and I -- I have no idea what to do about it.
Joe: Is it Dixie?

Dixie: Hey, hey. David. What's going on?
David: I thought you didn't want to be seen alone with me.
Dixie: What's up?
David: Well, didn't you hear? Edmund and Dimitri accused me of kidnapping Alex.
David: Did Ryan put them up to this?
Dixie: Ryan? David: Well, he's the one that led the charge against me and he's not going to rest until he sees me in jail adding kidnapping to my list of suspected crimes.
Dixie: Come on. I think you're taking this a little too personally, huh? I mean, Edmund and Dimitri -- they were just probably asking you about Alex because they're worried sick about her.
David: Do you think I'm being paranoid?
Dixie: I think you're unhappy. Come on. Hey, it's Christmas.
David: Oh, yeah. It's Christmas. Do you want to know what I got? You remember my patient Mr. Packer?
Dixie: Oh, yeah. That sweet little old man who liked to pinch all the nurses.
David: Yeah. I promised his grandkids that he'd be home for the holidays. He died last night on the table. I never lost a patient before, Dixie -- ever. I did everything that I always do, and it wasn't enough. I was helpless.
Dixie: I'm so sorry.
David: Look, don't be sorry for something that's not your fault. I got to go.
Dixie: Wait, wait. David, don't -- don't go. Not yet.

Greenlee: I thought we settled this. I didn't do it.
Laura: I saw you.
Greenlee: You were drugged, trying to stay afloat in the dark. I mean, how could you know who was at the rail? There were tons of people on deck that night.
Laura: No one else told me to stay away from Leo. It was you.
Greenlee: It's not true, Leo. She doesn't know what she's saying.
Laura: Everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie!
Brooke: Brawling is not going to solve anything.
Laura: Mom, she almost killed me.
Brooke: Let's go to the car. I'm not finished with this or you, Greenlee.

Greenlee: Can you believe the attitude on Laura? As if I would ever do something so déclassé. You said it yourself -- I could never be that malicious. If you weren't here to defend me, I don't know what I would have done. You know what's going on, don't you?
Leo: You'll tell me.
Greenlee: Bianca has this huge crush on Laura, and when Laura kissed you, she went green and then went and gave Laura the heave-ho. And now she's making me out to be the villain so she can win Laura back and make my life miserable. How twisted is that?
Leo: I've seen worse.
Greenlee: What screw-ups -- the Porno Princess and tortured Lesbianca. They're perfect for each other. God, you must be freezing. If it weren't for Laura, we'd be in a hot bubble bath with champagne on the side right now.
Leo: Hmm.
Greenlee: Why don't we order a pizza. We can pick it up on the way home. You know, I know how much you like jalapenos and everything, but can we get it without? Leo? Leo, hey! Where'd you go? You forgot your toboggan.

Erica: That wasn't love. You were vulnerable, and Sarah took advantage of you.
Bianca: I wasn't a victim, Mom. I loved Sarah.
Erica: Do you want to be gay?
Bianca: Mom, I didn't choose to fall in love with her. It just happened. But for the first time in my life, I could be myself. I -- I could finally just give in to everything that I had been feeling for so long. And those days that I spent with Sarah were the happiest of my life.
Erica: You need to have more experiences.
Bianca: With men.
Erica: Yes.
Bianca: Mom, as happy as I was with Sarah, there was a part of me that hoped that I was confused. It was the same part of me that never wanted to disappoint you. So just in case there was a chance that I might be straight, I asked Leo to make love to me.
Erica: Did he?
Bianca: No. No. Luckily, he's too good a friend. And I'm not attracted to him that way, anyway.
Erica: Well, then maybe you just haven't found the right man.
Bianca: I never will. Trust me.
Erica: Honey, you're too young to say "never."
Bianca: I know what I feel. It's not a whim. It's not a phase. It's as much a part of me as the color of my eyes. Can't you understand that?
Erica: I'm trying, Bianca. If you would just let me help you --
Bianca: I don't need help! I don't need help.
Erica: What do you want from me? Tell me.
Bianca: Just accept it, Mom. And just try not to judge me.
Erica: Bianca, have you considered what you will be giving up? Marriage, children? The most complete moments of my life have been as your mother. There is no joy that can replace that. I mean, what future is there for a --
Bianca: A lesbian? I am having enough trouble with the present. I can't even begin to think about the future.
Erica: Why should you? It's a long way off. You're still in high school. My goodness, we -- we have time. We have time to sort this all out. Bianca, it means so much to me that you opened up to me. I know that had to be really, really hard for you. It was a very brave and very important first step. I just want you to stop worrying. I'd like you just to let me take care of everything.
Bianca: Take care of what, Mom?
Erica: We will be so much better off with the help of experts.
Bianca: Experts?

Leo: I have one question for you.
Bianca: What?
Leo: Did Greenlee push Laura over the yacht?
Bianca: Leo, I know you love --
Leo: I want the truth, Bianca.
Bianca: Yes, she did.
Bianca: I'm sorry.
Leo: Why didn't you tell me? Honesty is such a big deal with you. Why did you wait so long to tell me?
Bianca: Because Greenlee --
Leo: No, don't tell me that you were trying to protect Greenlee! I know how you two feel about each other. Come on, spit it out!
Bianca: Greenlee blackmailed me.
Leo: Blackmail?
Bianca: She said that if I told anybody what happened to Laura on the yacht that she would tell my mom that I'm gay. I couldn't let that happen, Leo. I couldn't do that to my mom.

Derek: Greenlee Smythe?
Greenlee: Lt. Frye. Why so formal?
Derek: Greenlee Smythe, you're under arrest for the attempted murder of Laura English. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Dimitri: Well, David did a -- did a number on this, all right.
Edmund: He knows something about Alex.
Dimitri: Yep. And now he has unlimited access to funds and supreme arrogance. He's going to mess up.
Edmund: Mm-hmm. And we'll be right there to catch him.
Dimitri: You got that right, brother. You got that right.

Dixie: Look, I know you've had a lousy Christmas in a long line of lousy Christmases, and there's nothing I can do about that, but I could offer you some company, perhaps, and a cup of coffee, maybe a little piece of pie.
David: Dixie, it's not in your best interest to be seen with me.
Dixie: I can have pie with whoever I please.
David: You're some kind of friend.
Dixie: I'm the only friend you got.

Tad: No, it's not Dixie. It's -- it's me.
Joe: Yes?
Tad: Oh -- uh -- it's nothing, Pop, really. I just haven't -- haven't been myself lately, I guess.
Joe: Well, you know, you've just taken on a new and a challenging job. That's quite an adjustment for anybody.
Tad: I guess that's it. I'm under so much stress, I feel like I'm losing my mind, along with most of my possessions. Like that -- like that pen. The gift Dixie gave me when I got the job -- the gift.
Joe: Oh, you mean the one with your name engraved on it?
Tad: Yeah, I lost it. I must have misplaced it somewhere. I can't find it anywhere. And I never got my bag back from New York. Airline can't locate it, and there was a lot of important stuff in there, like all the work I took to the city. Not to mention my favorite picture of me and Dixie. It's stuff that can't be replaced.
Joe: I'm sure it'll turn up. Tad: Well, whatever's going on with me, I hope it stops before I lose something really important.

ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN

Erica: I only wish you could have come to me sooner about this. You were that afraid of me?

Leo: How do you ever expect me to look you in the eyes again?

Tad: I know exactly what you're doing, and you're going to stop.

David: I'm here. Is that better?
