Jake: So this is what you've
been researching with hospital
money.
I got you now, Hayward.
Dixie: Tad and I aren't
married anymore.
We got the divorce.
Why are you surprised?
David: Well, I figured,
considering --
Dixie: Considering what?
Vanessa: I did not kill Larry!
Derek: We're taking you in.
Cuff her, boys.
TODAY'S - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Greenlee: Hey, hey.
Leo: Hey, hey.
Morning.
Greenlee: Where were we?
Leo: Well, I was ragging
on Vanessa and bored
you unconscious.
Greenlee: Oh, I fell asleep
on you, Leo.
I'm sorry.
Leo: No, no, shh.
Lay down.
You were tired.
Greenlee: But we were
talking.
Leo: I like watching
you sleep.
Greenlee: Oh. Poor Leo.
There's nothing lonelier than
being awake by yourself
in the middle of the night.
Leo: I got through it.
Greenlee: I know why
you couldn't sleep --
Vanessa.
Greenlee: Leo,
your mother deserves to go
to jail.
She's going to be tried
for murder and spend the rest
of her unnatural life behind
bars.
And you'll be free of her scaly
clutches.
Leo: She used me.
She tricked me and David.
She actually had us carry
a dead -- a dead ex-lover's
corpse in a trunk.
I mean, what kind of a mother
does that to her own kids,
Greenlee?
Dixie: Shouldn't we check
the date and --
Joe: No, no, it's already
on there.
Jake: Hey, Dix.
Heard you're good to go.
Dixie: Yeah.
Jake: I'm glad everything
checked out ok.
Dixie: Thanks.
Tad: Even if we have Hayward
to thank for it?
Jake: Well, Dixie's health is
what matters, Tad.
Tad: Well, that wasn't
your slant yesterday.
Jake: You had your reasons.
Tad: One very good one.
Dixie almost died, and David
saved her.
Jake: No, no, no.
Actually, David saved
her to save himself.
And somebody's got to yank him
down off his pedestal.
Joe: Excuse us, please.
Look, Jake, now, you know
I don't want Hayward around here
any more than you do.
Jake: Well, obviously
we disagree on this,
Dad, because this man's going
to bring down this hospital.
Joe: We agreed to keep him
on staff.
Jake: No, you agreed.
Joe: Now, I expect
you to abide by my decision.
Jake: You'll just let it go?
Let David Hayward get away
with all the unprofessional
behavior he's had here since day
one?
I'm sorry, Dad, I can't go along
with that.
Tad: Listen, if you don't
mind, I'm going to go get
the car, ok?
I'll warm it up for you.
Dixie: Wait, wait -- no,
don't go yet.
I need to talk to David first.
Anna: Good morning.
Oh, you're all revved up
and ready to go.
David: Yeah, it's amazing
what a good night's sleep will
do.
Anna: Oh.
Do I take credit for that?
David: In part.
The sight of watching my mother
being carted away to jail had
something to do with it.
I haven't slept that well
in years.
Anna: That's just wrong.
[Phone rings]
Anna: No, no.
Don't answer that.
Do not answer that, please.
David: Sorry, my WSB Wench.
I'm on call.
Anna: David.
David: Dr. Hayward.
Yeah, yeah.
Sure.
Listen, just -- just give me
a moment to shower and get some
clothes on, ok?
Anna: Oh.
David: I'll come by.
Ok.
Anna: David.
David: I'm sorry, Anna.
Anna: It's Dixie, isn't it?
Jake: Ok, one copy for me,
original stays in the file.
Hayward none the wiser.
Jake: Now, I wonder if one
of these keys fits Hayward's
secret lab.
There's only one way to find
out, Jakemeister.
Jack: Ah, Erica, please come
in.
Erica: Jack.
Is this going to take long?
Jack: Why?
You in a big hurry?
Erica: Well, I just want
to get it over with.
Jack: Well, you know,
sometimes the wheel of justice
turns a little slowly when it
comes to perjury and obstruction
of justice charges.
Erica: Well, I'm sure we'll
be able to work out something
once my attorney arrives.
Jack: And what poor guy did
you convince to take
you on as a client?
David: Look, can we not --
can we not make a big deal out
of this?
Ok?
Anna: I think I'm being quite
reasonable under the
circumstances.
Yesterday you gave this very
pretty speech about how
the newly divorced Dixie is
firmly planted in your past
and you are moving on.
Now, we both know that you're
kidding yourself.
[David groans]
Anna: I don't understand why
you can't just admit it.
David: Oh! Come here.
David: I don't want to do
this right now, ok?
Listen to me.
I'm going to the hospital,
I'm going to see Dixie, and then
I'll be right back.
Now, if you trust me, you'll be
here when I return.
Anna: David, what if I don't
trust you?
David: Well, then you can
leave.
It's your choice.
Greenlee: You know what
you need?
Refocusing.
Turn around.
Ok.
Now, relax.
Close your eyes.
Picture a beautiful spring day.
Leo: Greenlee, I'm really not
in the mood for this.
Greenlee: Just go
with me, ok?
Leo: Yes.
Greenlee: It's morning
and the sun is shining through
big, puffy white clouds,
and the sky's a perfect shade
of blue.
Leo: Blue?
Really? Wow.
Greenlee: Leo, listen, ok?
There's a soft breeze blowing,
and the birds are doing
their chirping thing,
and the church bells are
ringing.
Leo: We're -- I'm going
to church?
Greenlee: We're going
to a wedding, Leo.
Leo: Oh.
Greenlee: Our wedding.
Are you with me now?
Leo: Absolutely.
Greenlee: Ok.
The wedding's about to start,
and the church is decorated
with zillions of candles and --
Leo: Yeah.
Greenlee: And flowers, and you're standing
at the altar.
Leo: And where are you?
Greenlee: I'm late.
Leo: You're late for the most
important day of our lives,
Greenlee?
Greenlee: I'm checking out
the sprinkler system.
I don't want to get rained on.
Leo: Ah.
So what am I doing while I'm
waiting for you?
Greenlee: Oh, you're checking
out the guests.
Erica's in the front pew working
her palm pilot and her cell
phone, and Myrtle's passing out
peppermints to all the kids
to keep them quiet.
Leo: What kids?
Greenlee: Some precociously
cute kids who are the ring
bearer and the flower girl.
Leo: We don't know any
precociously cute kids.
Greenlee: Then we'll rent
some.
Ok.
Now, I'm getting ready to walking
down the aisle.
Oh, my God, Leo!
You're wearing a powder blue
dress shirt with a ruffle.
Leo: It's the latest in retro
chic.
Greenlee: No! No. No.
I'm not going to marry a man who
looks like a bowling alley
lounge lizard.
Leo: Fine.
Feature me in a kilt.
Greenlee: A kilt?
Leo: Yeah.
Like Pierce Bronson.
Apparently, he's the sexiest man
alive, so --
Greenlee: Oh, not to me.
Hmm.
Cute knees.
Leo: Hmm. Ooh.
It's quite an updraft, though.
Greenlee: Ok.
Ok, ok, ok, ok.
So I'm walking down the aisle
and you see me, and I'm gorgeous
as ever, and the minister gives
us his blessing.
And then we exchange our vows.
I, Greenlee, take thee,
Leo, to be my wedded husband --
Leo: Aw --
Greenlee: To love, honor --
Leo: And obey.
Greenlee: Do I look like June
Cleaver?
Leo: Marriage is all about
sacrifice, Greenlee, so, yeah.
Greenlee: Well, then how
about if I promise to love,
honor, and cook for you till
death do us part?
Leo: Well, I've -- ahem --
I've tasted your cooking
and death would probably come
sooner than later --
Greenlee: You beast!
I can microwave.
Leo: We're going to eat
microwave popcorn for the rest
of our life?
Ok.
Better we promise to love,
honor, and order takeout.
Greenlee: I am so going
to prove you wrong.
Leo: Whoa, whoa,
whoa, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Where are you going?
Greenlee: I'm going
to the kitchen.
Name a dish -- any dish.
Leo: Ok
I'll take a petite brunette over
easy.
Greenlee: Oh.
Greenlee: Why are you looking
at me like that?
Leo: I don't know.
Maybe because I love
you so much.
Erica: Chris, I knew
you wouldn't let me down.
Chris: I got your message
late last night, Erica.
Erica: And here you are.
Chris: I tried to get back
to you.
I called your home, I called
your cell phone, but all I got
was your voice mail.
Erica: Well, all that matters
is that you made it.
Chris: Erica,
I know your MO like I know
the back of my hand.
Erica: My MO.?
Chris: Yeah.
Oh, please, please,
please, don't play coy
with me, ok?
You deliberately didn't pick up
the phone.
Erica: Are you saying that
I was avoiding you?
Why would I do that?
Chris: Because you can't take
no for an answer, and then
you figured that I'd have
to show up and, you know --
Erica: And you did, and I was
right.
Chris: Yeah, but you wanted
me to show up so you could charm
me back into the lawyer's seat.
Well, I got a news flash
for you -- it's not going
to happen.
All the king's horses, your best
dress, and your sweetest
best smelling perfume is not going
to put us back together again,
got it?
Erica: Chris --
Jack: What he means is that
you're going to have to find
another lawyer.
Erica: I don't need
a translator, Jack.
Chris: Ok, so -- so then,
what -- what part of "I'm not
your boy anymore" don't you get?
I told you after that fiasco
of a trial we had that you were
supposed to get yourself another
mouthpiece because we
were finito.
Erica: Oh, well, I don't want
anybody else.
I mean, if you're not going
to represent me, then I -- I --
Chris: Then what?
You're going to go it alone?
Knock yourself out.
Look, Pal, I hope you go
for more than a slap
on the wrist, ok?
Erica: Jack, I would like
a moment alone with Mr. Stamp.
Chris: No way.
I'm out of here.
We're through.
Erica: No, not quite.
Jack: Excuse me.
Erica: He thinks he's
so funny.
Chris: Erica, I --
Erica: Chris --
Chris: Look, I really don't
have time for this.
Erica: Chris, I have
a confession to make.
Chris: You know, I've had it
right about up to here
with your bogus confessions.
Erica: You were right.
I did dodge your phone calls
in the hopes that you would show
up.
Chris: That it?
Erica: No.
I also did play on your sympathy
because I know that you're
a gentleman.
You're much too much
of a gentleman to leave a lady
in distress.
Chris: You see? You see?
You don't need me.
You got all your bases covered.
Erica: You're wrong,
Chris, I do need you.
I need you so much that
I resorted to these shameless
tricks.
Just -- hoping that I would see
you today.
Chris: Well, now you've seen
me.
Now I'm going.
Erica: Chris, I don't blame
you for being mad.
I'm just happy you have any
feelings for me at all.
I mean, even if it's just anger.
I know I can be infuriating.
But so can you, you know.
I mean, you haven't always been
so lily-white honest with me,
either.
I mean, look what you were like
the first time our paths
crossed.
You showed up pretending to be
a janitor.
I mean, you pushed your way
into my office with your vacuum
cleaner and your attitude,
and I thought that you were
the rudest, most arrogant man
I had ever met.
Chris: But I was no match
for you, was I, Erica?
Erica: You were the perfect
match.
Who else could win my heart
in a broom closet?
I've never known a man like you.
You're a man of a million
disguises, and I saw through
every one, didn't I,
right to your heart?
Chris: Yeah.
Now, look what you did to it.
Why don't you save it
for someone who cares?
Erica: You care.
You don't play by anybody else's
rules and neither do I, and that
gets us in trouble.
And you were right about
something else, too.
If I made one mistake, it was
that I -- I should have taken
you into my confidence
in the courtroom.
I should have trusted that
your love for me would keep
Bianca and me safe.
Chris: Yeah.
Too little, too late.
Erica: It's not too late
because you still love me.
In spite of everything,
you still love me.
And I love you.
We belong together.
You know that as well as I do.
And don't tell me you haven't
thought about me or wanted me.
You told me secrets you never
told anybody else.
Please, Chris --
please just give me a chance
to make it up to you.
I promise you, it'll be worth
the risk if we can just get back
to what we had.
Please, Chris.
You love me, and I love you.
And all you have to do is want
it enough.
All you have to do is want me.
Tell me that you want me, Chris.
Just show me.
Let --
Anna: Dear David, in light
of the fact that we drove
to your cabin in your car,
I have no means of
transportation.
Therefore, I am captive here,
so please don't keep me waiting
too long.
Love, Anna.
[Anna leaves the room]
Jake: Well,
this doesn't look like any mad
doctor's laboratory.
No beakers bubbling,
no hunchbacked assistant.
Here we go.
All right.
Let's just see what you've been
up to here, Dr. David.
Dixie: Nothing.
Just no more fussing, ok?
I can take care of myself.
Tad: I -- I know you can.
I never said you couldn't.
But if it's all the same to you,
I think I'm just going to stick
around.
Dixie: You're impossible,
you know that?
Tad: No.
Au contraire.
I'm quite possible.
Dixie: You just don't want
to leave me alone with David.
Tad: This is true.
Dixie: There's nothing going
on, Tad.
I just want to talk to him about
my condition.
Tad: Why? Are you ok?
Dixie: I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Really.
Tad: I don't want to make
you angry, you know?
That's not the whole point
of this.
It's just -- I mean,
listen -- you could divorce me,
you could walk out of my life.
I'm afraid that worrying about
you is part of the package.
That's just the way it is.
David: Hello, Dixie.
Dixie: Hi.
David: You said you wanted
to see me?
Dixie: Yes.
Thank you so much for coming.
David: It's ok.
Is there a problem?
Dixie: Tad, I would like
to speak to David alone.
Tad: Sure.
Yeah, tell you what -- I'll
just -- I'll wait in Dad's
office.
You know, just come and give me
a shout when you're ready to go.
Dixie: Ok.
[Dixie sighs]
David: If you're concerned
about your heart, don't be.
I spoke to your cardiologist
and --
Dixie: Oh -- yeah, I know.
I spoke to him, too.
He said that I just had to rest,
right, for a few days, and then
everything would be back
to normal -- whatever that is.
David: Ok, so why did
you want to see me?
Dixie: I wanted to thank you.
David: You don't have to keep
doing that.
Dixie: Well, your research
saved my life, so --
David: Well, hopefully,
if all the treatments are tested
and approved, it'll save other
people's lives, too, so --
Dixie: Right.
About that treatment --
that injection that you gave
me -- how safe is that?
David: If it saved your life,
that's a good step.
That's --
Dixie: Well, it's not my life
that I'm worried about.
David, I'm pregnant.
David: Dixie, I already knew
that you were pregnant.
Dixie: You knew?
David: Yeah.
Dixie: How could you know?
I just found out this morning.
My doctor said it was
confidential.
David: I -- I checked
your blood work when you came
back from the Caribbean.
Here, sit. sit.
Dixie: What? What?
Why -- why did you do that?
David: It's standard
follow-up.
Dixie: And why didn't
Dr. Heinemann tell me?
David: Because he wanted
to make sure that you were
strong enough to handle it,
considering your recent divorce.
Dixie: And why didn't
you tell me?
David: It wasn't my place.
Dixie: Not your place?
David: You're under the care
of another physician.
Dixie: And when did
boundaries ever stop you before?
David: Dixie, I made
a conscious decision to back
off.
Dixie: You don't think that
I had the right to know
something so momentous?
David: Of course I do, but it
wasn't my call to make.
Dixie: Not your call?
You made it anyway.
You kept it a secret -- just
like you kept my heart condition
a secret.
Whose life are we talking about
here, mine or yours?
David: It's your life, yes.
And I respect that.
Don't you even understand why
I did all of this with
the medicine in the first place?
Dixie: Honestly, I -- I'm not
sure that I do.
David: No?
Well, I'm not going to say
anything to embarrass you, ok?
I just want to tell you this.
Finding the cure for that
illness -- it was the only way
that I could offer you something
that you couldn't refuse.
Dixie, I was hoping that I could
make up for the pain that I had
caused you.
Ok?
And now that I feel that I've
accomplished that, at least
in part, I -- I think it's
important that I just back off.
Dixie: You still knew I was
pregnant before I did.
David: You had no idea?
Dixie: No, none.
I mean, I was a little queasy,
but I thought that was something
to do with my heart condition.
[Dixie sighs]
Dixie: This is just not what
I expected.
And Tad and I just got divorced.
David: Yeah.
Look, speaking of Tad,
do you want me to go get him?
Dixie: No.
No, no.
I'm not ready to do that yet.
David: So it's Tad's?
Dixie: Yeah.
We --
were talking about the divorce,
and we got into a fight, and one
thing led to another,
you know --
David: Dixie, I don't want
to be your confessor, ok?
Dixie: Well, I'm sorry.
You asked.
David: Yeah.
Well, I'm sorry I asked.
Dixie: Well, can I ask
you something medical?
David: Sure, go ahead.
Anything.
Dixie: This treatment that
you gave me -- the experimental
thing -- what effect is that
going to have on the baby?
David: Well, the --
the medicine is still
in the testing stages,
so I can't say definitively
whether it compromises the fetus
or not.
But given the circumstances,
it really isn't an issue.
Dixie: The health of my baby
is not an issue?
David: Well, given
your medical history
and your recent health crisis --
Dixie: What?
David: Dixie, this pregnancy
is not viable.
You can't carry this baby
to term.
Chris: I know what you want.
You want me to kiss you
so I can wipe this slate clean.
You want me to love you
like yesterday never happened.
Erica: And you want that,
too.
I know you do, and you know
you do.
Chris: I wanted you.
Erica, I wanted you
from the moment that I laid
my eyes on you.
You were like no woman I'd ever
known.
You had this fire, this spark
that was --
Erica: I still do.
And you still want me.
You know you do, Chris.
Chris: How I feel or how
I don't feel about you is not
the point, Erica.
It's about you and how you see
the rest of the world.
You -- you look at it like
you're the center of everyone
else's orbit.
You don't give a damn about
right or wrong.
You only care about getting what
you're after.
Erica: No.
Chris: Look, Erica,
listen to me.
It's not all about you anymore,
Sweetheart.
It could have been.
You know I would have done
anything for you.
Anything.
That scares the hell out of me,
Erica.
But --
thanks for the wake-up call.
If you ever need someone to do
your dirty work again, you go
to the yellow pages because I'm
gone.
Jack: Well, looks like you
still need a lawyer, huh?
Jake: What's this?
A research grant.
"The Chen Jade Project."
Yes!
This is it.
You are buried, Hayward.
[Anna attacks Jake]
Jake: Ow.
Greenlee: What are
you thinking?
Leo: Ah --
Greenlee: Hmm?
Leo: I've got this fantasy.
Greenlee: Does it involve me
and kitchen appliances?
Leo: Well, no, not this
particular fantasy, but it is
pretty domestic.
I often wonder what it --
what it would have been like
to have been born into
a different family -- you know,
with a whole new set of parents.
You know, the normal kind
of parents.
Greenlee: Do you think there
is such a thing?
Leo: Yeah, I think so.
Picture a dad who actually hangs
around after the children are
born.
He's got a normal job.
He comes home after work
and shoots hoops with the kids
on the backboard that they put
up over the garage.
Greenlee: Does he let
you win?
Leo: Well, yeah, of course,
every time.
Greenlee: Hmm.
And what is Mom doing while Dad
is bonding with the Brady tribe?
Leo: She works,
but only part-time so that
she can be there when the kids
get home from school.
She's a social worker.
Greenlee: Helping families
in need.
Leo: Yeah.
Greenlee: Yeah.
Leo: But she always has time
for us.
We're always first, no matter
what.
Did I tell you she's also
a painter?
Greenlee: Oh!
Talented lady.
Leo: Of course
she converted the garage
into a studio.
Greenlee: So her kids can
finger-paint next to her while
she works.
Leo: Yeah.
She calls us her masterpieces.
Greenlee: A portrait of Leo
as someone who belongs.
Leo: Yeah, it's stupid.
Greenlee: What?
Are you kidding?
You don't think I've had
the same fantasy?
It's my favorite run --
my favorite one --
right up there with the one
where I die a horrible death,
and everyone comes to my funeral
and tells me how sorry they are
for being mean to me.
Leo: So you would trade
in Rog and Mary?
Greenlee: In a heartbeat.
My fantasy family lives
in Vermont.
And we all ride horses.
Dad owns and operates a maple
sugar farm.
Leo: Hmm.
Greenlee: And Mom makes these
incredible quilts.
Leo: Yeah?
Greenlee: Granny Moses works
of art.
She's made one for me
with my name on it and the time
and the day I was born.
She keeps it in a cedar chest
with a lock of my hair
and the very first tooth that
I lost.
Leo: God, that is so sweet.
Greenlee: Of course it is.
It's a maple sugar farm.
Leo: Yeah.
So what do you do there?
Will you shovel muck out
of the stalls?
Greenlee: Please.
Just because my family lives
in the sticks, doesn't mean
I have to rough it.
I still live here.
Leo: And you work for Erica?
Greenlee: Oh, yeah, yeah.
Greenlee: Listen,
Leo --
I know why you're hurting
because I've been there.
Vanessa's a mother from hell,
but you are who you are
because you survived it,
and I love you, all of you,
for who you are.
And I always will.
Jake: Oh.
Damn!
That is some way to greet
a guest.
Anna: You're not a guest,
Jake.
You're an intruder.
Jake: Well, glad I didn't
call first.
Anna: What the hell do
you think you're doing up here?
Jake: Well, you're the secret
agent, Anna.
Why don't you figure it out?
Anna: Suppose I call
the police?
Maybe you'd like to talk
to them.
Jake: You're not going
to call the police, Anna.
Anna: Oh, I'm not?
Jake: Nah -- because you'd be
forced to tell the police all
about your boyfriend's secrets.
Anna: What secrets?
Jake: David's hush-hush
project.
The Chen Jade Project.
That one.
Hayward's been using hospital
funds to conduct illegal lab
experiments.
Anna: Where'd you come up
with that scenario?
Maybe you should just stick
to medicine and leave
the detecting up to
the professionals.
Jake: Like you?
Anna: Yeah, like me.
Jake: Hmm.
So how long did it take
you to figure out what Hayward
was up to?
That long, huh?
So he duped you, too?
Anna: Professional jealousy
is so unbecoming.
Jake: Hayward's got nothing
that I want.
But I'm sure the hospital will
be interested.
Anna: You have no proof he's
done anything unethical.
Jake: Yeah.
Yeah, I have all the proof
I need.
I got it in David's office.
Anna: Oh, you broke
into there again, did you?
Doesn't that make you
the criminal?
Jake: Well, actually,
Anna, see, I'm not the bad guy
here because I'm not the one who
chose to go on the other side
of the law, and I'm not the one
that's going to go down for it.
Hayward is, and I'm going
to personally escort him there.
Anna: I don't think so.
Jake: Yeah.
You know what?
You're a pretty smart lady.
You ought to get out right now.
Anna: You pompous ass.
Jake: Stop protecting David.
Otherwise, you're going to end
up in the adjoining jail cell.
David: Dixie, you do know
that this pregnancy is not
viable, don't you?
You were planning to terminate?
Dixie: You're not
my confessor, remember?
And you're not my doctor.
David: Wait -- no,
no, no, no, no.
Don't push me away, not now,
not about this, please.
Dixie, come on.
You know your medical history
better than anybody.
You're operating on one kidney,
you've had toxemia, you have
heart problems.
That's three pre-existing
conditions that could prove
fatal if y try to go to term
with this pregnancy.
Dixie: You're not my doctor.
David: Well, then fine.
Then talk to Dr. Clader, ok?
He'll back me up on this.
Or even Tad.
Dixie: No.
David: That's the one thing
that he will see eye to eye
with me on.
Dixie: I can't talk to Tad.
David: Because you're
divorced?
Dixie: Because he doesn't
know that I'm pregnant.
David: You're planning
to tell him, though, right?
Dixie: This is my pregnancy
and my problem.
I will handle it in my own way.
David: But you are going
to handle it, aren't you?
Dixie: I'll do what I need
to do.
Do you mind?
David: Which means that
you will terminate?
Dixie: Don't -- don't.
Please, please.
I'm fine.
David: Are you sure?
Dixie: Yeah.
I just need some time by myself,
if you don't mind.
David: But I'm not convinced
that's the right thing
for you right now.
Dixie: Please, David.
David: All right.
Dixie: Listen, just
promise me something.
Promise me that you won't tell
Tad about this -- or anyone.
David: All right, I promise.
Dixie: You have to swear.
Swear it.
David: I swear.
I swear, ok?
Look, I'm going to check
in on you later.
Dixie: Why?
To make sure I've scheduled
an abortion?
David: Dixie, I'm sorry.
Dixie: Just go.
Jack: Ok, have one.
I thought you'd like to keep
your strength up until you heard
the outcome of your perjury
charges.
Erica: You spoke to Judge
Pearson?
Jack: Yeah, just now.
Erica: Am I going to jail?
Jack: No.
Erica: Oh!
Oh, thank God!
Jack: Well, you might also
thank the one that put in a good
word for you.
Erica: You?
Jack: Mm-hmm.
Well, I don't like to brag
in these affairs, but yes.
Erica: Well, thank you, Jack.
Jack: Yeah, well, you keep
that in mind when you're writing
a nice, hefty check to cover
your fine, my dear.
And also clear your calendar
for a little community service.
Erica: Community service?
Jack: Yes.
Erica: Jack, don't tell me --
I don't have to be one of those
people by the side of the road
spearing trash, do I?
Jack: Oh, gosh, I didn't
think of that one.
That's a great idea.
You wouldn't object to that,
now, would you?
Erica: I'll take whatever
punishment that I have coming.
Jack: Without protest?
Erica: I am not in a position
to protest.
Jack: I'm speechless.
Erica: Look, thank you, Jack.
You handled this like
the gentleman you are --
and almost always have been.
Jack: Almost.
Erica: Now, I know when
the chips are down that I can
count on you.
And don't think I'm not grateful
for that, Jack.
Jack: Yes, indeedy.
Erica: What?
Jack: You.
My Scarlet, you think if you go
all helpless, then I'm a goner.
Erica: I do not.
I don't think any such thing.
Jack: Yes, you do.
Listen, this is me talking.
I know you.
You think you can bat those big,
beautiful eyes, and I'm going
to fall right into line and fall
all over you, but guess what.
Erica: What?
Jack: It ain't going
to happen, Sister.
So, may I suggest --
increase your fiber content.
[Jack offers Erica another muffin]
[Dixie, sitting alone, puts her hand on her stomach and talks to her unborn child]
Dixie: Don't worry,
little one.
Mama will protect you.
I'll guard you with my own life.
Tad: Dixie?
Dixie: How long have you been
standing there?
Tad: I haven't.
I just came around the corner.
If you were finished with David,
why didn't you come and get me?
Dixie: Oh, I just needed some
down time.
Tad: Why?
Did Hayward say something
to upset you?
Dixie: No.
No, no.
I'm fine.
Tad: Are you sure you're ok?
Dixie: Yeah.
I'm just tired.
Tad: Really?
Dixie: Really.
Tad: Ok.
You want to go home?
Dixie: Please.
Jake: Anna, learn
from David's history or suffer
from his mistakes.
Anna: Would you just spare
me, Jake?
Just spare me.
Jake: Let's just cut all
the games here.
Why don't you spare yourself?
This man wrecked Dixie's
marriage and he tore her family
apart.
Anna: I'm not sweet,
delicate Dixie.
I don't need to be saved.
But you might.
Jake: Oh, me?
Anna: Yeah.
This proof that you say that
you have on David -- hand it
over.
Come on, because I'm going
to call the authorities and have
you down for breaking
and entering.
That's going to look real bad
on your resume.
Jake: Hmm.
So you're asking me to cut David
a break, huh?
No way.
I'm not giving you a damn thing.
[David walks into the cabin]
David: What the hell is
happening here?
Greenlee: Ok.
What shall we do today?
Leo: I don't know.
Let's do something fun.
Greenlee: Ok. We could --
Leo: Something we haven't
done before.
Greenlee: Shoot hoops
at the community center.
Leo: Or we could go
to Vermont, scout for that maple
sugar farm.
Greenlee: The sap doesn't run
when it's this cold.
Leo: Yeah, and you have
an unfortunate history
with basketballs.
Greenlee: Very true.
I have an idea for a family
outing.
Why don't we camp out
at the Valley Inn for
a champagne breakfast?
Leo: Yeah.
Champagne and strawberries --
now, that's roughing it.
Greenlee: What are we waiting
for?
Leo: Let's go.
[Leo and Greenlee open their front door]
Vanessa: Hello, Darling.
Leo: What --
Vanessa: Guess what --
I'm free.
They dropped the charges.
I'm free as a bird.
[Vanessa laughs]
ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Greenlee: "Have a glass
of champagne to pass the time.
Be back soon.
Love, Leo."
David: I need you to do
something for me without asking
any questions.
Jamie: So you're really going
to ask Mom to marry you?
Hayley: I have something
for you.
It's your Valentine's Day
present.
