Greenlee: The best news ever!
Laura: Greenlee!
We were just talking about
you and Jake.
Now that picture was worth
1,000 words, huh?
Anna: David isn't Proteus.
Chris: I hope you have hard
facts to back that up.
Anna: Are you keeping me
focused on David for a reason?
Erica: The jury has to find
me guilty because I think that
Bianca shot Frankie.
TODAY'S - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Mia: The face is very
familiar.
Oh, you're the guy who's
on his way out of town.
Very, very slowly.
Ryan: Ahem.
I decided not to take
the shortcut.
Mia: Well, don't get me
wrong.
Guys who take their time are
just fine by me.
Whatever it is keeping you here,
I'm grateful for it.
Anna: Hmm, you're still
tense.
That nap didn't do you any good?
David: I only slept
a few minutes.
Anna: Do you want to talk
about your father's death?
David: So you think I need
some more compassion?
Or are you hoping to pass along
some more tidbits to
Agent Stamp?
Anna: I thought you heard me
talking to Stamp.
David: Yeah.
I heard.
So you were using my childhood
trauma to get closer to me.
Was that your idea or Stamp's?
Anna: What?
David: Congratulations,
Devane.
You just hit a new low.
Chris: I asked a question.
Anyone feel like answering?
Come on, you can tell me.
Erica: Well, it's nothing
that concerns you.
Chris: No, everything you do
concerns me, Erica.
Erica: Well, why clutter
your head with a lot of useless
information?
Chris: I love useless
information.
Erica: Oh --
Opal: Oh, look at the time.
I got to run.
Chris: Sit.
Erica: Stay, Opal, please.
Look, all I did was I told Opal
the truth.
Chris: Ah, truth,
revelation.
Why don't you share it with me?
Greenlee: What are you doing
here?
Leo: What are you doing here?
Laura: Oh, don't let us
interrupt.
Is your wonderful news just
for Jake or can you share it
with the class?
Greenlee: Erica asked me
to stay on at Enchantment.
In fact, I've been promoted.
Laura: Wow!
So you came to share the news
with the top guy in your life.
How lucky that Leo was here --
at Jake's.
Leo: I was getting his key
to your place.
Laura: Jake still has a key?
Greenlee: He's my neighbor.
Laura: Oh, so you came
to celebrate with your favorite
ice cream.
Jake: Ok, listen, if you all
don't mind, I got things I got
to do here.
Laura: It seems like the two
favorite flavors in your life
have broken the code.
Rocky road --
Jake: Take it out
to the street, Laura.
Laura: And vanilla have met.
See?
You can trust me.
I'm not the liar.
Greenlee is.
Ryan: Yeah, I'd be
about 3,000 miles away right now
if it wasn't for Adam Chandler.
Mia: Sounds like a reason
to leave, not stay.
Ryan: My baby died
because of him.
Mia: I know that Adam is
responsible for a lot, but
Liza fell.
You said so yourself.
Ryan: After they
argued, after they fought
because Adam just couldn't leave
her alone.
Mia: Ok.
Hey, he's not my favorite
person.
But he loves his wife
and that child.
Ryan: "Love"?
No. Ahem.
He possesses things,
he possesses people, companies.
It's all the same to him,
you understand that,
and the baby she was carrying
was not his.
Mia: All right, all right.
I'm not arguing with you.
I --
whatever it is you're after
with Adam, I'll back you.
Just be careful, ok?
Ryan: Thank you
for your support.
Mia: You're welcome.
Ryan: But after things get
settled here, you know,
I'm gone.
Mia: I understand.
Ryan: Ahem.
I can't make any promises.
Mia: I'm not asking you to.
Promises break too easily,
anyway.
Ryan: Ahem.
So you don't have any
expectations?
Mia: No, look, I went through
this before, you know?
I just --
I want my friend back,
for as long as he's around.
Ryan: And you're cool
with that?
Mia: Sure.
Yeah.
We'll just lean on each other
for a while.
That way,
well, no one gets hurt.
Chris: I'm waiting.
Erica: Look,
all I did was I told Opal that
I killed Frankie.
Chris: You told Opal?
Erica: Yes, and since
you already know this, I thought
it would be very silly
to repeat it.
Chris: Damn silly
to repeat it.
Erica: Well, I didn't
announce it on a street corner.
Chris: Well, who else have
you told?
Erica: No one.
Opal is my dearest friend.
Opal: Yeah, we're closer than
sisters.
Chris: Well, I don't care
about that.
Repeat that to no one.
Erica: Opal won't tell
anybody else.
Opal: Oh, no, my lips are
zipped and locked.
I don't want folks knowing that
Erica shot Frankie.
Chris: And what if Montgomery
calls her to testify?
Erica: Well, why borrow
trouble?
Why worry about things that may
not even happen?
Chris: Because Frankie was
killed in her house,
and Frankie was there
because Opal provided
her with a place to live
and a job.
Now, you -- you can't imagine
one reason why he would call
her to the stand?
Erica: Opal,
will you tell Jack what
I told you?
Opal: No, I will not.
Chris: Oh, good.
Are you telling the truth now?
Good, because when you purger
yourself in front of a jury,
you're looking at jail time.
Remember that.
Erica: Chris,
stop looking at the dark side.
I mean, Jack isn't going to ask
Opal if I killed Frankie.
Chris: This is not fun
and games, Erica.
The charge against you is
murder one.
Erica: But Opal doesn't know
if I did it or I didn't do it.
She wasn't there.
Chris: You just told her!
Erica: But Jack doesn't know
that.
So stop worrying.
I mean, trust me, the subject
is never even going to come up.
Chris: Do you have
a death wish I should
know about?
Erica: No, of course not.
Chris: Good.
Ok, ladies, this is
planet earth.
Please, join us.
Now, I have to go down
to the lab and speak
to the forensics people.
I'm not going to be long,
but while I'm gone, will you try
not to do any more damage
to your case, please?
Erica: What?
Opal: Well, how long do
you think you can keep this up?
I mean, that guy isn't stupid,
Erica.
Erica: Oh, stop it.
No lectures.
Opal: Well, I mean, it just
doesn't seem right lying
to a guy that's so wild for you.
Erica: I've got to save
Bianca, ok?
Nothing is going to stop me
from that.
Opal: Yeah, well,
that poor man is going to suffer
something fierce when he can't
save you.
Erica: He'll get over it.
Opal: Ooh.
That is mighty cold.
I mean, do you care a weensy bit
for Chris or is he just
your legal beagle to be used,
abused, and reduced to a howling
shame?
Anna: I would never use
your father's suicide
to manipulate you.
David: You just told me that
you went to your room to check
on your messages.
Anna: Oh, like you always
tell the truth.
David: All right.
Why don't you go report
your screw up to your superior,
all right?
Anna: I told Stamp what
I think of his investigation.
David: Oh, in other words,
you put on a good show.
And then you hopped right back
in here to take another crack
at me, right?
Anna: David, we both have
agendas.
I wouldn't take advantage
of you that way.
David: Even if you thought
I was destroying lives,
trafficking drugs?
Hmm?
Even if you thought I was
Proteus?
Anna: But I don't.
David: You don't anymore.
Anna: Right.
David: I see.
Well, I guess the question
now is,
are you telling me the truth?
Or do you still suspect me?
Anna: It's the truth.
I know you're not Proteus.
Laura: Rocky road makes
sense.
I mean, Jake can be difficult.
But do you really think that Leo
is just bland, plain old
vanilla?
Leo: Laura --
Laura: I mean, maybe
the "van" part comes
from Vanessa.
Greenlee: You misunderstood
the whole ice cream thing.
Laura: No, no, I get it,
I get it.
I can even do it with
other foods.
See, a juicy steak and
boneless chicken.
Leo: Hey.
Greenlee: Since you're
so clueless, Laura, why don't
you keep out of this.
Leo: Well, why don't you just
explain everything, Greenlee?
Laura: No, no, she can't.
She's way too busy thinking
of Jake --
and you, of course.
Greenlee: Go home before
I hurt you.
Laura: I am home, almost.
I got my own place right here
in this building.
Greenlee: You what?
Laura: Yeah, no need
for welcome gifts.
This was present enough.
Jake: Ok, all right,
that's it, that's it.
Laura, I want you out of here
right now or I'm going to call
the super and the cops and have
you thrown out.
Laura: Oh, did I overstay
my welcome?
Jake: Yeah.
Laura: Thanks for
the entertainment, Greenlee.
Leo: You want to explain
the ice cream bit, please?
Greenlee: Why?
You're letting her make trouble
for us.
Leo: Greenlee, you cannot
blame this one on Laura.
Greenlee: Oh, yes, I can.
I'm going to kill that
wacko witch.
Leo: Green-- no!
Jake: I think she means it.
Leo: Yeah, if Laura doesn't
kill her first.
Anna: Did you hear me?
David?
David: Yeah.
Yeah, I heard you.
Anna: I just said I don't
think you're a drug dealer
and you look disappointed.
David: Hmm.
Well, it was a fun and
challenging game while it
lasted, right?
Anna: It's not entirely over.
I mean, it's not like I called
you dull and boring.
I'm still aware of how
complicated, annoying,
egotistical you are.
David: All right,
please, please, stop, stop.
My head's big enough already.
Anna: There are still things
I'm curious about.
David: Good.
Well, then let's keep
the mystery alive, shall we?
Anna: You could tell me
why you have a mountain cabin
full of highly technical
equipment.
And how Roger Smythe fits
into your life -- that's a big,
fat question.
David: Hmm.
And yet you've replaced me
as your number one suspect.
Do you mind if I ask by whom?
Anna: Agent Stamp.
Erica: My life is not my own.
I can't think about love.
Opal: Oh, come on, love rules
your every move.
Erica: My love for Bianca.
Opal: No, the love
of a good man.
It can get you through some
mighty rough patches in life,
and that guy's got it bad.
Erica: Oh, Opal, please just
stop, ok?
Chris is fascinating,
and under other circumstances --
Opal: Honey, grab that diamond
in the rough.
He is just primed for some
grinding and polishing.
Erica: Opal,
I can't give into my feelings.
I can't.
Otherwise, I'd have to be
completely honest with Chris.
Opal: But go ahead,
be honest with him.
Tell him about Bianca.
Erica: He would never go
along with that plan.
I can't.
I have got to keep him
at arm's length.
Opal: There's got to be some
way that you can look out
for Bianca and yourself, too.
Erica: Well, I'm not going
to give my heart away only to be
taken off to prison.
Opal: Well, plenty of women
stand by their men when they're
sent up.
Erica: I couldn't do it,
Opal.
Wanting him and needing him,
and all the while being stuck --
Opal: Stuck on the top bunk
of a cell in the belly
of the beast.
Boy, I never actually thought
about you being in the big house
night after night.
Erica: Well, I'm doing what
I want to do, Opal.
You know, I'm protecting Bianca.
Opal: Yeah, well, you need
a little protecting, too, Missy.
Erica: Opal, I can't give
in to my feelings for that man.
I can't do that.
If I did, I would just have
to tell Chris the truth.
Greenlee: What do you think
you're doing?
Laura: I'm going down
to my floor.
Don't you want to wait
for the next elevator?
Greenlee: Ha!
How about a detour
to the basement?
There's a big trash compactor
I want you to meet.
Laura: You're determined
to go to jail, aren't you,
Greenlee?
Get out!
Greenlee: Hey!
Come on, I want you to see it!
Laura: Stop it! Stop it!
Leo: Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey, knock it off, both of you!
Greenlee: Leave us alone!
Leo: Come on!
All right, the door's closed.
Jake: Wait, where are
we going here?
Laura: Home.
Greenlee: I'm giving Laura
a tour of the basement.
Leo: Go to your penthouse,
Greenlee.
Jake: Hey, wait,
wait, go easy on this thing.
It gets tricky.
Greenlee: Oh, my God.
Leo: Ok.
Jake: Be still.
Leo: We're not moving.
Laura: Look what you did!
Greenlee: Me?
It was you! Now we're stuck!
Leo: No, we can't be stuck.
Laura: All right,
well, why are we stopped?
Jake: Well, it looks like
we aren't going anywhere here.
Greenlee: You selfish cow!
Laura: Me?
You're the one who got us
in this mess!
Greenlee: Oh, right,
blame me!
Leo: Please.
Oh. Perfect!
Greenlee: Ow, that's my foot!
Ow!
Leo: Sorry!
Jake: Everybody just --
Greenlee: For the record,
it's her fault we're stuck.
Laura: Hey, I was going down
to my loft.
You're the one who shoved
your way in here.
Leo: Just please,
for the love of God,
just shut up!
Jake: Ok, just everybody try
to stay calm, all right?
Greenlee: Help! Help!
Laura: Give me that!
Greenlee: Stuck in
an elevator with a violent
nut case!
Jake: Greenlee, how is that
helping?
Leo: It's not.
Greenlee: It's dead.
Laura: Oh, like your
flavor-of-the-month love life.
Greenlee: Oh, shut up.
Jake: All right, look out,
give me this thing.
Laura: Go for it, Rocky.
Jake: See what's going on.
Leo: See anything?
Jake: Well, all the wiring
appears to be intact.
I don't know.
Laura: May I?
Jake: Have at it.
[Greenlee screams]
Leo: Laura, hey!
What are you doing?
Laura: Sometimes hitting
things works.
Greenlee: She tried
to kill me!
Laura: Get over it.
Greenlee: Why don't you just
leave us alone?
Jake: Hey --
Laura: Me?
I was going down to my loft.
You shoved your way in here.
Why don't you leave me alone?
Jake: Ok, can we at least try
to make the best of this?
Greenlee: Yeah.
Yeah, I can use this time.
Can finally tell you what it
felt like when you locked me
in that closet.
Jake: No, no, bad plan.
Greenlee: My dad was sick,
maybe even dying, but you didn't
care if I found David Hayward.
Laura: Oh, like I could
believe a word you said.
Greenlee: I didn't care
about your stupid wedding.
Jake: Greenlee --
Laura: No, clearly you jumped
my groom before my wedding dress
was dry!
Greenlee: Ugh!
Laura: I'm glad I locked
you up.
I'd do it again in a second,
only this time I'd make sure
the air vents weren't there
so you could squeeze through.
Jake: Just --
Leo: Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa.
Jake: Just cool it,
both of you!
My gosh!
Opal: I sit in awe, Erica.
I don't think I could be
as strong.
Erica: Oh, Opal,
if your child's life were
hanging in the balance,
of course you could.
Opal: Well, I would try,
yeah, but I'm afraid that a good
man as hot as, well, Chris could
melt my resolve.
Erica: Any news?
Chris: Not yet.
How about you two?
Opal: Well, I'm not repeating
anything, so you can rest
assured.
Oh, my.
Well, my fellow's waiting.
Erica: Oh, are you taking
Petey to the movies?
Opal: If this outfit looks
like a kid's movie to you,
it's gone awfully wrong.
Erica: Oh, Opal.
I'm sorry.
You look great.
I just wasn't thinking.
Opal: Well, I hope I look
great because this guy is
smooth, he's sophisticated,
and he's almost too good to be
true.
Erica: Oh, well, have fun.
Opal: Well, I plan to.
I'll call you later.
Bye-bye.
Chris: Bye, Opal.
Chris: Let me explain to you why I was
so blunt before.
Erica: Oh, you were just
doing your job.
Chris: No, defending you is
more than just a job.
But personally, I find
your confidence very --
Erica: Misplaced?
Chris: No, I was going to say
very sexy.
Erica: Oh.
Chris: But given your current
situation, I suggest you just
rein it in a bit.
Erica: Whatever you say.
Chris: I hope you mean that.
You've placed yourself
in my hands, so let me call
the shots until I get
you through this, ok?
Erica: I'm just --
I'm used to being independent.
Chris: No.
You, me are one together.
Ok?
Erica: Ok.
I will let you call all
the legal shots.
Chris: Good.
Now, repeat --
repeat after me --
"until this trial is over,
you, Chris, and your legal
advice are my world."
Go on, go on.
Erica: Until this trial is
over, you, Chris --
Chris: Mm-hmm.
Erica: And your legal advice
are my world.
Chris: Good.
And when we get you acquitted,
we'll delete the legal stuff
and the rest stands.
Erica: And if I'm convicted?
Chris: It stands.
No matter what.
David: Chris Stamp, Proteus?
Anna: It's not so
far-fetched.
David: Do you honestly
believe that he has
the intelligence?
The imagination?
Anna: You don't think he's up
to it?
David: Oh, not by a long shot.
To play both sides against
the middle for this long?
He'd have to be brilliant.
Anna: All the more reason not
to advertise.
What's so funny?
What?
David: You know,
I couldn't measure up to Erica's
standards of morality, and now
she's dating a drug lord.
Anna: Oh, she can take care
of herself.
David: Yeah, but if she finds
out Stamp's true identity --
if your suspicions are
accurate -- he's not going
to know what hit him.
Anna: You know what, they can
duke it out.
David: You haven't told me
what aroused your suspicions
about Stamp.
Anna: Well, let's just say
I think he's less than
trustworthy.
Leave it at that.
David: Oh, come on,
be specific.
Anna: All right.
He said he would get me back
in the agency if I helped him
take you down.
David: Leaving himself free
to attend to business as usual.
Anna: Right.
David: Ha-ha.
Like I'd let that happen.
Anna: What I want is to get
enough on him to put him away.
David: Hmm.
So what's your approach?
You going to wait for him
to screw up?
Anna: Well, Proteus obviously
didn't start at the top
of the drug scene.
I mean, he must have made
connections further down
the ladder at some point.
David: So you're doing
historical research?
Anna: Yeah.
And Stamp's record isn't
spotless.
10 Years ago he earned himself
a suspension.
David: Did he tell you how?
Anna: No, he won't
discuss it.
But whatever put him
on probation I think is going
to get us on the track
to Proteus.
David: "Us"?
Have I been deputized?
Anna: It's a figure
of speech, David.
Excuse me.
Anna: Hi. It's Anna.
I need to see you.
Where are you?
I'll be right there.
Wish me luck.
David: Be careful, Anna.
Anna: Do you think my luck's
run out?
David: I hope not.
Anna: Me, too.
Roger: Double scotch, neat.
Mia: So,
that take you long enough?
Did you think of a kind way
to blow me off?
Ryan: Mia, I can't get
involved.
It wouldn't be fair to you.
Mia: Don't I get a vote?
Ryan: The thing is I can't
care about anyone else.
I'm amazed I'm even alive
and breathing right now
because I really don't care.
I could die in five minutes,
I could die a day from now.
Just fine with me.
Mia: It's just grief talking.
I mean, you're still mourning
Gillian.
Ryan: The point is I don't
want you caught
in the crossfire!
Ok?
You're too good to waste.
Mia: I want to help you.
Ryan: You deserve more.
Mia: What if I don't want
more?
Ryan: Tough.
Mia: Wow.
You know, you should write
a book --
"Dumping Her For Her Own Good."
Ryan: Consider yourself
saved, not dumped, ok?
Mia,
believe me, you deserve better
than me.
Anna: Hi.
I don't mean to interrupt.
Mia: No, you're not.
I'm going to use
the ladies' room and maybe play
some ironic country western
songs on the jukebox.
Anna: Bad timing. Sorry.
Ryan: No, not at all.
So.
So?
Anna: It's about your father.
Ryan: Now there's somebody
I'm not mourning.
Anna: You're not going
to like this.
Ryan: My father was
a drug-dealing scum.
How can you get any worse
than that?
Anna: I think Agent Stamp's
been lying to you.
Laura: Keep her away from me!
Greenlee: Scared, Laura?
You should be!
Jake: Just let it go.
Greenlee: Because all the bad
things that happened to you are
karmic payback!
Laura: Stop, stop, stop!
I need to lie down.
I need to sit down.
Jake: Just --
Greenlee: Oh, please.
Save that fainting, gasping act.
We're all sick of it.
Laura: Oh, I'm dizzy.
Leo: Laura, you don't have
to fake an attack.
Greenlee's not going to hurt
you.
Laura: Yeah, well,
you might not be so lucky.
Greenlee: Help! Help!
Someone get me out of here!
Laura: Get her out of here.
Jake: Yelling won't help
anything.
Greenlee: Then what will,
Jake?
What can we do?
Leo: Why do you got to turn
to Jake?
Like he can do anything.
Greenlee: Don't start, Leo.
Not after all the times you took
her side while Laura was
tormenting me.
Leo: That's got nothing to do
with what you're pulling
right now, Greenlee.
Greenlee: Excuse me?
Leo: How could you compare me
to ice cream?
How could you call me vanilla?
He's Mr. Predictable,
Mr. Standup guy.
He's a Martin, for crying
out loud.
Greenlee: Hey, you wanted
to martyr yourself for poor,
sick Laura.
You didn't give a damn what
I went through.
Leo: Oh, that is so not true.
Greenlee: Jake helped me
survive one of the most
horrendous times in my life.
Leo: But we're together now,
me and you.
Why do you got to depend on him?
Why do you got to confide
in him?
Greenlee: I cared about
him, ok?
That doesn't just evaporate
the moment it's not convenient
for you, Leo.
Why do I even bother --
it doesn't matter!
I'm not with Jake, Leo,
I'm with you.
I said I'd marry you, damn it!
Erica: Bianca.
It's Mom calling, Honey.
I just called to say that I'm
so glad that Opal got
you settled at myrtle's,
and she's going to be checking
in on you, Honey, just to make
sure that you're getting enough
rest.
And I'm thinking of you
and I love you, Sweetheart.
I love you more than my life.
Good night.
[Knock on door]
Erica: Yes?
Chris: You ok?
Erica: Well, I'd be a lot
better, you know, if I didn't
have to duck the photographers
every time I turn into
my own driveway.
Chris: Get used to it.
The reporters are going to be
out there for the duration.
Erica: You couldn't bring
them around?
Chris: Afraid not.
Anything you need before
I take off?
That's your cue to ask me
to stay.
Erica: Come in.
Chris: Thank you.
I thought you might need some
company.
Erica: I do.
Everyone seems so far away.
Except you, of course.
Chris: And Opal.
But since she's with her new
love, I thought maybe I could
fill in for her -- except I draw
the line with the facials
and doing the hair and all that.
Erica: Wait a second,
what did you just say?
Chris: I don't do hair.
Erica: No, I mean about Opal
and her date.
She doesn't love him.
Chris: Well, she seemed
pretty anxious to get to him.
Erica: But she can't fall
in love with him.
Chris: Why not?
Erica: Because he won't
love her.
Chris: How do you know that?
Erica: Because I hired him.
Opal: Oh, Hank, I hope
I didn't keep you waiting.
Hank: It was worth the wait.
Just look at you.
Opal: Oh.
You always know just the right
thing to say.
Hank: Actually, I usually
don't talk too much,
but it seems like I just got
a lot to say to you.
Opal: Yeah, me, too.
But I'm kind of wondering
if maybe this --
that this was a mistake.
Hank: Why?
Opal: Well, I just feel kind
of guilty, you know,
enjoying myself.
Hank: When you're
best friend's in so much
trouble.
Opal: Yeah.
Hank: Yeah.
Opal: Yeah, I mean,
Erica's life has just turned
into a big tragic mess that's
getting sloppier by the minute.
I just came from there
and it feels so bad to not be
able to do a thing to help.
Hank: You need some R and R.
You just wait here a second.
Opal: I'm not sure margaritas
are going to do the trick today.
What do you got there?
Hank: Take a look.
Opal: Mistletoe.
Hank: That's right.
They say in the right hands,
it's a powerful healing tool.
Opal: I never heard that
before.
[Hank kisses Opal]
Opal: Well, that is powerful
stuff.
Hank: I'll let you
in on a secret.
It's like Dumbo's feather.
We can fly without it.
Opal: We're a "we" now?
Hank: I felt connected
to you the first time I saw you.
Opal: Yeah, me, too.
Hank: Well, let's fly out
of here.
Opal: Where we going
to fly to?
Hank: Someplace quieter.
Come on, what do you say?
Opal: Okey-dokey.
Ryan: What Stamp told me
checks out.
Adam Chandler's investigators
knew my dad was a drug dealer.
Anna: Oh, yeah, I'm not
saying he wasn't involved
in drugs.
Ryan: Well, then what?
You think he's still alive?
Anna: I don't know.
But the story Stamp gave is just
too --
Ryan: He was resisting
arrest, he got shot.
Anna: It smacks of a cover-up.
You know, and the question is,
why?
Ryan: I thought it was
a little weird that
Adam Chandler's guys didn't find
out that my dad was dead.
Anna: Right, if
the FBI can't find your next
of kin, who the hell can?
Ryan: So what are you going
to do to get the truth?
Anna: Oh, I don't.
That's your job.
Chris: This guy that Opal is
seeing is on your payroll,
but we're not talking
Enchantment.
Erica: No, I set all these
wheels in motion before Frankie
was killed.
I mean, Opal is my best friend
and she was in this male-induced
depression.
Chris: So you got
her a gift-wrapped gigolo?
Erica: No, don't be silly.
I had to be subtle.
I mean, Opal can't know he came
from me.
Chris: Well, she seems
capable of getting her
own dates.
Erica: She was until Palmer
just whittled away at
her self-esteem, and --
and so I just had to take
action.
Chris: And you did, so what
are you so upset about?
Erica: Because, look,
I prepaid for a certain amount
of innocent flattery
and attention, but then
everything hit the fan
and I just -- I couldn't follow
through, finish the process.
Chris: Which is?
Erica: The personal
interview.
You know, specific instructions
to have fun but to leave Opal's
heart intact.
Chris: Yeah, well, I don't
think it's her heart he's after.
Erica: And Opal craves warmth
and appreciation.
Chris: Well, then you'd
better tell her what you did
before they get hot and heavy.
Erica: But Opal would never
forgive me.
Chris: Wait, you charge
her -- her new love
on your gold card, and
for one minute it doesn't enter
your mind that this is iffy
at best?
Erica: In affairs
of the heart, I just follow
my instincts.
Chris: Which are infallible.
Erica: I do happen to know
what men want and when
they want it.
Chris: You do?
Erica: Yes.
Chris: What do I want,
Erica, hmm?
What do I want
right now?
Erica: No.
Chris: Yes.
Erica: No.
Chris: Yes.
Erica: We have to look ahead.
I'm going to prison.
Chris: There's no way
I'm going to let you go now that
I've found you.
Chris: You're not going
to prison.
I promise.
Chris: I'll take care of you.
Chris: Sweet dreams.
Ryan: So you want me to take
on the FBI?
Anna: Yeah, by invoking
the freedom of information act.
Ryan: Well, anybody can do
that and get the same
information.
Anna: Wrong.
Anybody is not Patrick Curry's
son.
The FBI Is going to give
you a lot more information than
I could get access to.
Ryan: And if they don't?
Anna: You'll threaten to go
public, create a colossal stink.
That's going to carry some
weight.
They want to shut you up.
Ryan: Yeah, I really like
the sound of that.
Anna: They will dish out
the truth rather than get
bad press.
Trust me, I know how these boys
work.
Ryan: And why are
you so caught up in this?
Anna: I don't trust Stamp.
Neither should you.
Simple as that.
Ryan: With your connections,
I mean, you could find out
the truth.
Anna: No, you don't want me
visibly involved.
It could make things a whole lot
worse for both of us.
That's all I can give you.
I hope it helps.
Ryan: All right, I'll get
the truth.
And if I have to walk over Stamp
and his career in the process,
well, you know what?
That's life.
[David hears a noise and opens his hotel room door]
[Noise]
Roger: What -- what the hell
did you do to me?
Leo: You make it sound like
accepting my proposal was
a mistake, like I'm a screw up.
Greenlee: I didn't say that.
Leo: You race to Jake
for every little thing,
Greenlee.
You want him on the side,
yet I'm the one you blame
for everything.
Greenlee: You just don't
think things through.
Can't run away and play
at being Scott and Zelda,
forever young and wild.
Leo: That's not what I was
offering.
Greenlee: People need
careers, Leo, they need
to accomplish things.
You have no plan, no job.
You didn't even give me a ring.
Leo: Oh, you want a ring?
Greenlee: Every girl wants
a ring.
Leo: Oh.
Oh, here. What's this?
Oh, it's a ring.
I've been carrying this thing
around for weeks waiting
for the right time to give it
to you, Greenlee.
How do you suppose it got
in there?
It's not bad, huh?
So what's it going to be?
Here's your ring,
so you going to marry me or not?
ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Mateo: Stay away
from my wife.
Ryan: Don't bank on it.
Chris: You don't really want
to take me on.
Anna: Wouldn't you say
I already have?
Laura: I slept next
to you for a while.
I know what gets you hot.
Greenlee: You stupid
little witch!
