Leo: She left me for Jake.

Jake: Greenlee!
Vanessa: Oh, gracious. She just passed out.
Jake: She's not drunk. Greenlee, what happened? Greenlee, what -- agh!

Jake: Wake up! Greenlee, you got to wake up! This boat's sinking! We got to get out of here!

TODAY'S - - - ALL MY CHILDREN


Kendall: Hey, Ryan.
Ryan: Hey, Kendall.
Kendall: Where you been?
Ryan: Out.
Kendall: Well, I just heard your bike pull up. Have you had dinner?
Ryan: Not yet.
Kendall: Well, I just ordered some Chinese takeout, the cholesterol special -- egg rolls and chicken fried rice. I've got plenty if you and Hayley want to share.
Ryan: Hmm. Thank you. It's been kind of a long day, so maybe another time.
Kendall: Ok. Look, I'll save you a fortune cookie. Ryan, what is it?
[Ryan opens the door to his motel room to find the room trashed]
Kendall: Ryan, who did this? And what did they do with Hayley?

Guard: Santos, you got a visitor.
Mateo: Yeah? Well, I don't want to see anybody.
Chris: You'll see me.
Mateo: Hey, get this scum out of here.
Chris: Why don't you chill out.
Mateo: Hey!
Chris: I'm not the enemy.
Mateo: Get him out of here!
Chris: What's wrong with you? Come on, I know you're no drug runner. Why don't you work with me to prove it?
Mateo: What?
Chris: You got hard evidence on Proteus. Why don't you just give it over?
Mateo: Go to hell.
Chris: You want to die, Santos? You know, word is out on the street that you're next on Proteus' hit list. Why don't you smarten up and help me stop him before he stops you -- permanently.

[Knock on door]
Leo: Go away.
Vanessa: Leo, Darling, it's me.
Leo: Mother. Why not? Pile it on!
Vanessa: Ah, Leo, Darling. I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you and Greenlee on your Valentine's Eve, but -- I forgot my gloves here. Oh -- there they are. But -- Darling, where's Greenlee?
Leo: Oh -- she's gone.
Vanessa: Gone?
Leo: Yeah.
Vanessa: Gone where?
Leo: Well, she picked bachelor number two to be her first mate. She set sail with Jake on his new boat. And I'm just toasting them bon voyage, that's all. You don't seem surprised.
Vanessa: Surprised? Darling, I'm stunned.
Leo: Oh, whatever. You knew she was going to leave me for Jake. So, come on. Give me your best "I told you so."
Vanessa: Oh, Leo. No, Darling, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know you're hurting. Don't fear, mother's here, and I will help you get through this. I swear I will.

[Meanwhile, Jake and Greenlee are stuck on a leaky boat]
Jake: Greenlee! Wake up! Wake up! Hi, hi hey! Greenlee, wake up. Greenlee, Listen to me.
Greenlee: What --
Jake: Greenlee, Greenlee, look, look -- look at me. Vanessa drugged us, all right? She set us adrift on this boat and it's leaking, and we're going to go down with it if we don't act fast. You understand?
Greenlee: Jake, what do we do?
Jake: Ok, I'm going to figure it out. Now, I'm in to figure this out. Now, listen, I need you to stay with me. Stay with me! All right? Vanessa gave you a overdose.
Greenlee: Oh, oh, sleepy. So sleepy.
Jake: No, no, you can't go to sleep! Greenlee, you cannot go to sleep or you're going to die!

Kendall: Ryan, who did this? I didn't hear anybody come in here when I was in my room.
Ryan: It was Stamp. Who else would do this. Who else would do this? He probably suspected that Hayley was laying low here.
Kendall: Right, and he figured Hayley was hiding in a desk drawer.
Ryan: No!
Kendall: He was looking for something else.
Ryan: Like he needed anything else to put Mateo away for life, all right? He doesn't care who or what he trashes to do it.
Kendall: Are you sure it's Stamp?
Ryan: Yes, I'm sure it's Stamp, all right?
Kendall: Maybe you're pinning this on the wrong guy.
Ryan: It's Stamp! All right? He's got his prints all over this mess.
Kendall: You hate the guy, that's why you're blaming this on him, but what if he's clean?
Ryan: He's not clean. What's the matter with you? He's as dirty as they come.
Kendall: What if the FEDS aren't involved? What if one of Mateo's drug buddies tossed this place?
Ryan: My gut tells me I'm right.
Kendall: Yeah, well, my gut tells me now that you have Hayley stashed someplace else, just steer clear of Mateo and his little blonde trophy wife.
Ryan: You think I'm going to turn my back on Hayley? Listen, maybe you ditch your friends when they're in trouble, but really, it's not my style, Kendall.
Kendall: Wait a minute, are you kidding me? Some thug breaks in here, totally trashes your place, and you're yelling at me? Ryan: You know what?
I'm out of here.
Kendall: Where you going? Ryan: I'm going to make sure
Hayley's all right.
[Ryan walks out]
Kendall: You are up to something, Lavery. And I'm going to find out what.

Mateo: You're a piece of work, Stamp.
Chris: And I can help you.
Mateo: You put me in here. We're not pals.
Chris: Look, we're on the same side, Mateo.
Mateo: Yeah, right.
Chris: And I put you in here for your own protection.
Mateo: Yeah, well, I appreciate the security. It's got a nice view of the exercise yard.
Chris: Look, the only way to smoke out Proteus is to let him think that the heat is off, Mateo.
Mateo: You put me in here? Away from my family, to bait this drug lord? Is that what you're saying to me?
Chris: He's getting ready to escape. You taking the fall was all part of the plan, Pal. Look, I'm sorry, but we're running out of time and options.
Mateo: Get me the hell out of here.
Chris: I can't do that, not yet. Proteus will think that we're on to him. Look, you know, understand something -- there's a hit out on you. You're safer in here than you are on the outside!
Mateo: What are you talking about? I'm a prisoner. I'm stuck here.
Chris: Just till we drop Proteus.
Mateo: Well, how long is that going to be?
Chris: That depends. That depends on you, Mateo, because you got something on him. You've got hard evidence that's going to link him to the drug trafficking. That something will stand up in court! Look, we dismantled your computer, Mateo. Files have been deleted.
Mateo: I cleaned out my computer. So what?
Chris: So I watched you and Hayley when you got arrested. I could tell that you were faking. I could tell that you were hiding something. I think that Ryan is in on this.
Mateo: Yeah, well maybe but he's no friend of mine.
Chris: Yeah, well, you asked him to watch after your wife and he was like a guard dog when I went through your stuff at the Chandler place, Pal.
Mateo: Yeah, I'm sorry I missed that. I was busy here with the warden.
Chris: What the hell is it going to take? What is it going to take for you to open up and trust me? Tell me!
Mateo: Something you can't do.
Chris: What?
Mateo: Prove to me that you're not Proteus
Chris: I can prove it. Here, take it.
[Chris hands Mateo a sealed bag]

Leo: Thanks, Vanessa, but I don't need my mommy right now, thank you.
Vanessa: Oh, my goodness, Darling.
Leo: Hi I got myself a bottle of premium bubbly to get me through that night. Thank you very much.
Vanessa: Drinking to forget Greenlee Smythe is a waste of very good champagne.
Leo: Don't start Vanessa.
Vanessa: Well, I suppose it's one option -- drowning your sorrows. If you ask me, you're just well rid of her
Leo: Yeah? Well, I didn't ask you, so-
Vanessa: Look Darling, what are you really losing exactly except for some flighty Erica Kane wannabe.
Leo: Enchantment's poster child?
Vanessa: Exactly! I mean, come on. Greenlee Smythe is two-timer who shuttles between you and Jake Martin just to pick up bonus miles. Then choosing a terminally dull doctor over you. What can you expect from girl who wears sun dresses in the winter?
Leo: And dares to wear white after Labor Day.
Vanessa: You are everything Jake isn't.
Leo: Yeah -- except he's got Greenlee.
Vanessa: Oh, well, what could she possibly see in him, anyway? I mean, you're -- oh, Darling, you're champagne and caviar.
Leo: Paris in the spring.
Vanessa: And Jake is winter in De Moines.
Leo: And a hero sandwich, right?
Vanessa: Yeah! You see, Greenlee's really just too needy to even appreciate re you, Darling. Besides that, you could have any girl in the world.
[Leo sighs]
Leo: But I want Greenlee.
Vanessa: Well, she's not good enough for you, love.
Leo: No. It's not Greenlee, it's me. She's one of the most loving, passionate woman in the world. I don't understand it. She -- we spent the night last night on this couch, imagining our wedding day. I just -- the vows and the church and the ceremony, everything. I just don't understand how she could do this to me.
Vanessa: Darling, she was playing with you.
Leo: No, she wasn't. No, she wasn't. She was being totally real.
Vanessa: Darling, sorry, but what in the name of true love is this?
[Vanessa pretends to 'find' Greenlee's engagement ring]
Leo: It's Greenlee's engagement ring.

Jake: Where's all this water coming from?
Greenlee: The ocean?
Jake: Stay awake!
Greenlee: I'm awake. I'm awake.
Jake: Ok, so talk to me. Talk to me. Hi
Greenlee: About what?
Jake: Anything. Anything. Just start talking to me. Say something.
Greenlee: I just want to dive into a warm, feather bed.
Jake: Okay, don't talk
Jake: Sing, sing, like -- like -- like row, row, row your boat -
Greenlee: Row, row, row your boat. Row your boat.
Jake: Come on, keep singing!
Greenlee: Merrily, merry, merrily,
Merry. My merrily, merrily.
Greenlee: Life is but a dream. I want to go home!
Jake: I'm going to get you home, I promise. I'm going to get us out of here!

Kendall: Just what does Ryan have and what does it have to do with Mateo and his little blonde wife?
[Lock turns]
[Kendall hides. Chris walks in]
[Chris dials his cell phone]

Chris: Stamp here. I'm at the Pine Cone. Tell me, what did you guys turn up? Excuse-- did you say nothing? And you leave this place looking like a war zone? You come up empty no leads on Proteus? You know, you're amateurs!

[Chris hangs up and looks around]
[Kendall makes a noise and Chris hears her]
Chris: What area you doing here, Ms. Hart?
Kendall: I was looking for some shampoo.
Chris: What, you want the last laugh?
Kendall: I'm not afraid of you
Chris: You should be afraid on me --
Chris: Yeah? Kendall: Someone's going to come over here and they're going to totally, totally --
Chris: What? What? What's going to happen?
Kendall: -- I'm waiting for a Chinese takeout order. If they come to my room and I'm not there -
Chris: What, they're going to come in here and do what to me? Stab me with a chopstick?
Kendall: I heard you on the phone. Chris: Yeah, so?
Kendall: So I know that you sent your goons to toss Ryan's room.
Chris: I'm just doing my job, Ms. Hart.
Kendall: Yeah? You better hurry up and finish it before Ryan gets back.
Chris: Well, maybe you should can the chatter and listen up.
Kendall: Oh, is this where the sweet talk begins?

Vanessa: Ah. Oh, my poor Leo. mon n pauvre petit. Oh Darling, how could she be so plain heartless? Oh, Sweetheart.
[Leo walks away from Vanessa]

Vanessa: And they said it wouldn't last.
[Phone rings]
Vanessa: Hello?
Guard: Stamp was here visiting Santos.
Vanessa: [As Proteus] What did he want?
Guard: Look, I didn't get it all, but he was leaning on Santos pretty hard to give up something that could blow your cover.
Vanessa: [Normal voice] Well, Mr. Santos won't be around long enough to give up anything -- except his life.
Guard: What do you want me to do?
Vanessa: Proceed with the plan. Mr. Santos is a dead man walking.
[Vanessa hangs up]

Leo: Who was that?
Vanessa: No one important, Darling. How are you?
Leo: Oh, I'm fine.
Vanessa: Well, of course you are, Sweetheart. I mean, I taught you to survive.
Leo: Yeah? Well, this time I'm on the losing end, Mother.
Vanessa: Darling, this too shall pass. You'll forget all about Greenlee.
Leo: See, I don't want to forget about it. I want to figure out what happens next.
Vanessa: Well, chasing after her is not an option. Leo: Why not?
Vanessa: Because she -- she sailed off with Jake! I mean, they're out there on the waves right now doing something nautical. Darling, if you ask me, she did you a favor by just running away with him.
Leo: Oh, come on. You always disliked Greenlee. She was just a source of ready cash for you.
Vanessa: Oh, no. It's just the thought of you, I mean, settling in, you know, to a match with that bride -- I mean, Leo, it's not you! Come on, it's so middle class. You're above all that.
Leo: Maybe I like the idea of a sane, normal life.
Vanessa: Oh, come on, Darling. When have we ever done normal?
Leo: Well, that's nothing to be proud of.
Vanessa: Oh, I can just see you, yes, in this ho-hum life married to Greenlee -- I mean, living in Pine Valley.
Leo: Who said we were going to settle here?
Vanessa: Well, Greenlee seems to think so and has that plan whether you do or not, Darling. I mean, she's fixated on, well, having some sort of career at Enchantment.
Leo: For now.
Vanessa: Leo, she's going to want you to go to work -- I mean, have a career. I mean, where's the adventure in that?
Leo: Maybe I want a career.
Vanessa: Doing what?
Leo: Oh, I don't know, Mother. I guess I could probably think of something.
Vanessa: No, no, I know --
Leo: Greenlee -- listen to me. Greenlee's good for me.
Vanessa: There isn't a girl in the world good enough for you, my Darling. No, no. So can you forget this -- this absurd quest for domesticity?
Leo: So what -- what am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?
Vanessa: Well, Darling, we go back to the way we were. I mean, before we came to Pine Valley. I mean, we were a hell of a team. We were conning the baroness, the countess. You know? Our only motto was "take the money and run," our only commitment to each other.
Leo: Ok. So if we were such good crooks, why did we always end up broke?
Vanessa: Oh, well, we were only broke for moments at a time. Besides, Darling, you know what? You can catch the golden goose every time.
Leo: Are you ever going to stop chasing e -- the golden score?
Vanessa: Well, we almost got there, didn't we, Darling? I mean --
Leo: Yeah.
Vanessa: Yes. We came so close to separating Palmer and Greenlee from their fortunes. And when that didn't quite pan out, we wave good-bye to Pine Valley and on to new pockets to pick.
Leo: So you've got this whole thing planned out?
Vanessa: Well, it's always good to know where your next meal's coming from.
Leo: Who's the mark?
Vanessa: Well, I purchased two tickets to Madrid. There's a count there, newly widowed. He has a very wealthy niece with a bad skin problem and a bit of a mustache, but dripping in euros. So grab your passport, Darling, and pack a bag. We leave for Spain tonight.

Jake: Greenlee?
Greenlee! Do you remember the night we -- we camped out in the woods? Remember that, when you ran out in the bushes because you saw a bug and you thought it was as big as Godzilla? You remember all the stars that were out that night?
Greenlee: You found a new constellation.
Jake: That's right, of a queen -- a queen, renowned for her courage and her beauty and I named her Greenlee. Remember?
Greenlee: That's the night you said you could fall in love with me.
Jake: Well, I lied. I lied to you. I was already in love with you.
Greenlee: And I slept in your sleeping bag. It was warm. It was so warm. Oh, I so want to be warm right now.

Vanessa: Spain, Darling. Can't you just see it? Huh? Can't you feel the heat shimmering off the steps of the Prado and we'll -- we'll summer in the Pyrenees, just like old times, huh? Leo, you're not listening to a word I've said.
Leo: Greenlee didn't leave me for the reasons you think.
Vanessa: Oh, Leo, for heaven's sakes --
Leo: No, she didn't leave me because she doesn't love me enough. She didn't leave me because she's fickle or because she's bored.
Vanessa: Why do you insist on all this unpleasant --
Leo: Listen, she left me because I didn't love her enough.
Vanessa: Oh, Leo, really. No one has as big a heart as you.
Leo: Yeah, well, it wasn't al big enough for Greenlee. I didn't make enough room for her.
Vanessa: Oh, that's absurd.
Leo: No, it's not absurd. I loved Greenlee on my own terms. I only gave her part of myself, the part that I could afford to lose, and I -- I guess I kept l the rest hidden.
Vanessa: Oh, no, no. I'm not going to have you blaming yourself for Greenlee's failings!
Leo: No, these are my failings. When things got bad, I didn't tough it out. I married a woman didn't love because it was safer than risking it all with the woman I did. I never thought twice about what I was doing to Greenlee. I blamed her for my mistakes. And when I did that, I broke something.
Vanessa: Really, Leo, that's ridiculous-- nonsense.
Leo: No, it's not nonsense, and it's not absurd! My when Greenlee and I got back together, I acted like Laura and our marriage never even existed. I never admitted to myself or to her how much I'd hurt Greenlee. And now -- now she's gone and it's too late.

Kendall: You ripped into me on the witness stand, Mr. Stamp, and now you want my help? Oh, you've got a lot of nerve.
Chris: So do you. It'll come in handy on the job.
Kendall: I'm not looking for work.
Chris: I'll pay you five grand.
Kendall: Erica told you I like quick money.
Chris: Yeah, well, it doesn't get much quicker than this, Ms. Hart. 2,500 upfront, the back half when you come through for me.
Kendall: What do you want me to do?
Chris: Hayley and Mateo are withholding some crucial information to my investigation.
Kendall: Investigation? You mean the whole Proteus thing?
Chris: Right.
Kendall: And you think Ryan's a player?
Chris: I know he's personally involved, which I think is a bad idea. I've been trying to get --
Kendall: But he wouldn't listen to you because Ryan doesn't take orders from anybody.
Chris: And Proteus doesn't take prisoners, Ms. Hart. If Ryan gets too close, he'll kill him.
Kendall: And this evidence you want would -- would stop Proteus and help save Ryan?
Chris: And Hayley and Mateo.
Kendall: Will my life be in danger?
Chris: Not if you work fast.
Kendall: What do you want me to do?
Chris: You and Ryan -- you hang out a lot together, right?
Kendall: We're neighbors. I bug him, he bugs me.
Chris: Whatever. I just -- I just want you to stay close to him.
Kendall: What do you mean, like, pump him for info, try to find out what he's hiding?
Chris: You got it.
Kendall: No, I don't got it. I'm actually majorly confused. Ryan's not the only one personally involved.
Chris: Do we have a deal or not?
Kendall: You killed Ryan's dad. You -- you're on his case all the time, flashing your badge. You bust into his room. You -- you trash his place.
Chris: So?
Kendall: So then you make a complete 180 with this soft talk about wanting to protect Ryan. And the hell of it is you sound like you mean it.
Chris: I do .
[Door opens] Ryan: Oh. What the hell are you doing here?

Guard: Hey, Santos? You hungry?
Mateo: Nope.
Guard: Oh, the slop they dish up in this joint is enough to put anyone off their feed. There's blueberry muffins in here. My wife made them. Guaranteed to melt in your mouth.
Mateo: Yeah, if they're so good, why don't you eat them?
Guard: Oh, can't. Got to watch the cholesterol. Hey, dig in. There's coffee here, too.
Mateo: No, thanks.
Guard: It's hard to get used to this place. Men penned up like cattle, fed slop. It gets me down sometimes.
Mateo: Yeah, well, why do you work here, then?
Guard: I'm an observer of human nature. I know who's guilty and who isn't by first lock down.
Mateo: Is that right?
Guard: Take you. You don't have that killer instinct.
Mateo: Why don't you go tell the FEDS that.
Guard: You're going to beat this rap, Santos. Blueberry muffin says walk out of here with a clean rap sheet.
Mateo: All right, bring it on.
Mateo: Thanks.
Guard: Enjoy.
Mateo: Pretty good.

Chris: Just stopped to see if my guys turned up.
Ryan: Hey, that's -- that's the truth. That's the first time I've ever heard the come out of your mouth.
Chris: Well, your the one who has something to hid, not me.
Kendall: In that case you should get help and clean this place up.
Chris: Where's Hayley?
Ryan: Why you asking me?
Ryan: I got an idea -- why don't you ask your wrecking crew to find her?
Chris: Nothing's easy with you, is it?
Ryan: You're the one getting paid the big bucks, so why don't you earn it? Listen, if I lose my security deposit it's coming out of your pocket.
Kendall: Mr. Stamp, don't you want to tell Ryan what you asked me to do? Oh, careful or your face will freeze that way Mr. Stamp.
Ryan: What did he want, Kendall?
Kendall: Agent Stamp wanted to hire me to work for him. He offered me five grand.
Ryan: To do what?
Kendall: To spy on you. Give you the Mata Hari treatment, get close to you,
Ryan: Wow, Chris Stamp using other people to do his dirty work. Why doesn't this surprise me?
Kendall: Oh, gee, Mr. Stamp, i just blew my cover. Guess I won't taking you up on your offer.
Chris: That's too bad you know, five goes would buy a girl a lot of chicken chow mein.

Kendall: You owe me, Ryan. You owe me big time.

Jake: Greenlee!
Greenlee! Hi
Greenlee. Greenlee. We made it to shore.
Jake: Greenlee. - Greenlee?
Jake: Come on., come on breathe! Greenlee don't you die on me.

Kendall: Why are you staring at me?
Ryan: I'm trying to figure out why you didn't take Chris up on his offer?
Kendall: Good question.
Ryan: Five grand is a lot of money.
Kendall: Yeah, and I'm not exactly rolling in dough.
Ryan: I thought you just came into some.
Kendall: Well a girl's got expenses.
Ryan: So why didn't you take him up on his bribe?
Kendall: It doesn't matter.
Ryan: Oh, no?
Kendall: What matters is you.
Ryan: Me?
Kendall: Yeah, I'm not exactly a fan of Chris Stamp's, but he's right about one thing -- hooking up with Hayley and Mateo is a serious risk.
Ryan: Yeah, I know.
Kendall: Do you, Ryan? Do you want to die?
Ryan: I don't really care one way or the other.
Kendall: Well, I do, damn it, and I am scared to death for you.
Ryan: Why do you care?
Kendall: Because. I -- I don't want to see anything bad happen to you.

Vanessa: Oh, come on, Leo. New vistas, new conquests. You and I will complete each other like we always have. Darling, you just say yes and we're off.
Leo: Mother --
Vanessa: Now, Darling, don't disappoint me. Oh, please, Leo.
Leo: I'm sorry. I'm not going to go with you. I can't.
Vanessa: Huh!
Leo: I love Greenlee, and I'm going to get her back.
Vanessa: But you can't have her back!
Leo: I'm going to fight for Greenlee. I'm going to find her and I'm going to fight for her. This is not over. I'm not losing her.
[Leo walks out of the loft]

Vanessa: Oh, my God. Huh. You can't fight for someone who's dead.

Jake: Good girl. That a girl. Ok. That a girl. Come on. You scared me. You scared me. You're ok. You're all right. You're ok. You're -- that was close. Greenlee? Greenlee? Greenlee, can you hear me? Greenlee? Greenlee?
[Music plays]
Jake: Greenlee?

[Greenlee starts to have a very strange dream - **Think Gilligan's Island!**]
Greenlee: Ahhh.
Greenlee: Where am I?
Greenlee: No. No. This can't be real.

Mateo: Mmm.
Guard: It's good, huh?
Mateo: Pretty good.
Guard: So that FED who was in here before -- he seemed like a real hard ass.
Mateo: Yeah, what about him?
Guard: Well, I mean, he's the reason you're in here, right? He's not your buddy or anything? What did he want?
Mateo: Nothing. Thanks for the coffee and muffin.
Guard: Because, look, if he's giving you a hard time or anything--
Mateo: He's not giving me a hard time, all right? Don't worry about him.
Guard: Well, maybe I want to worry about him

[The guard stabs Mateo]
