ALL MY CHILDREN

JANUARY 28, 2000



Mateo: Yo.
Adrian: Hey.
Mateo: How you doing, man?
Adrian: Where you been, man? We got a thirsty table on five over there.
Mateo: You know, Hayley and I were having a private moment.
Adrian: Oh. And?
Mateo: And you said table five?
Adrian: Table five. Yeah, yeah. Well, come on, man. Did you spring a ring on her or what?
Mateo: Look, I told you, I'm taking my time, all right? Don't pressure me. I don't want to pressure her, mess up, you know, make any of the wrong moves. When I know she's ready, I'm going to give her the ring.
Adrian: Hey, try doing it before the next millennium, huh?

Mateo: Hi.
Hayley: I saw you and Adrian with your heads together.
Mateo: Mm-hmm.
Hayley: Disusing anyone I know?

Leo: Chandler, you seen Ryan Lavery around?
Scott: Well, not in the last 10 minutes, but, you know it's not my turn to watch him.

Leo: Yeah, may I speak with Greenlee, please? She's not? She should have been there by now. All right. Could you do me a favor and leave her a message for me? Tell her that Leo called, and have her call me the minute that she gets in, and that her plan has hit a major snag. All right, thank you. Come on, Greenlee. Where are you?

Greenlee: No, thanks. But don't let me spoil your good time.
Ken: Well, I hate to party solo.
Greenlee: Well, then let's move the party to my grandparents' place like we planned. We could build a fire. It's nice and private.
Ken: There's less traffic here, you know? I figured we'd pop few brews, get mellow.. We'll hit old Millie's when we're feeling light.
Greenlee: Whatever. I'm cool. So, you live here?
Greenlee: It's very bohemian.
Ken: Is that code for "slum"? Which this is, next to your grandparents' spread. I bet you never crashed in a dump like this.
Greenlee: I might surprise you.
Ken: I'm counting n it.
Greenlee: Excuse me while I use the power room.
Ken: Hey, check to see if the seat's down.
Ken: Miss Greenlee, I'm going to rock your perfect world.
Greenlee: Uh, you know, I changed my mind. I will have that beer.
Ken: Bottoms up.

Adam: "Distribution of property and assets."
Stuart: Adam? You wanted to see me about something?
Adam: Stuart, this is a sad day for me and for our family.
Stuart: Why? What' wrong?
Adam: It stabs me in the heart to say this, but under the circumstances I don't have any choice.
Stuart: What are you talking about?
Adam: Stuart, forgive me. But I'm going to have to send you and Marian and Liza to prison.

Becca: Interesting reading?
Ryan: You see these lines? That's my love life.
Becca: Really?
Ryan: Yeah. A lady t a carnival told me my love life was all crossed lines. A preview of coming attractions.
Becca: And you believe that's your destiny because of a fortuneteller?
Ryan: Well, she's been right so far.
Becca: I believe that God has a plan for us, even though we have a choice.
Ryan: Becca, do you believe in miracles?
Becca: Boy, you're asking all the biggies tonight.
Ryan: Yeah.
Becca why?
Ryan: Well, Hayley said something about quitting before the miracle, about giving up on somebody too soon.
Becca: You think that's what you did with Greenlee?
Ryan: No, not Greenlee, no.
Becca: Then you must mean Gillian.
Ryan: Only I don't know whether Gillian is my miracle, or if she's Jake's.

Liza: So you and Gillian are getting married so you can sue me for custody of Colby.
Jake: No, Gillian and I are getting married because we love each other and we want to give Colby a family.
Liza: She already has a family.
Jake: Adam is not a family. Adam is a-- Adam is a minefield.
Liza: I can handle Adam.
Jake: How many times have you said this before?
Liza: I did what you wanted. I asked him to leave the house. He is signing the divorce papers. Once he's gone, he's gone -- out of our lives for good.
Jake: Until when? Until he wears you down and you take him back?
Liza: That's not going to happen.
Jake: Well, I'm sorry. I'm not going to risk Colby's future for some promise you're going to break..
Liza: So you're going to take me out of the picture along with Adam? You don't think taking a child away from her mother creates more problems than it solves?
Jake: I am not taking her away from her mother. I'm taking her away from Adam. Listen -- listen to me. Liza, this is going to be better for everyone in the long run, including you.
Liza: I opened a door so that you could have a relationship with Colby, and now you want to slam it in my face?

Jake: I will not -- I will not -- I will do everything I can to protect her. I've told you that before.
Liza: Well, you don't have custody now. And I am taking my daughter home - now.
Jake: Ok. Liza, Colby's going to live with Gillian and me. That's a fact you're going to have to face.

Liza: What the hell are you doing to me? What are you doing to us?
Gillian: Liza, the only thing I'm guilty of is knowing something that I wish I never knew.
Liza: Gillian, you and I had a pact. We were not going to tell Jake that he was not Colby's fathers. Gillian: And I've kept my word.
Liza: But if Jake goes and he goes ahead with this custody suit, don't you see what's going to happen? The truth is going to come out. Adam is going to demand a DNA test, and it's going to prove that Adam' the father. Jake is playing right into his hands.
Gillian: Then you go ahead and you stop him.
Liza: I can't stop it. It's like trying to stop a speeding train. Look, you and I both -- we agreed that Jake would be best for Colby. You didn't have a good childhood, and neither did I. And Colby's best chance is to have Jake in her life, not Adam.
Gillian: So what do you want me to do?
Liza: You've got to convince him -- you've got to convince him to give you time to let me show him that Adam is not going to be in Colby's life, Gillian, help . Please. Please.
Gillian: No. Jake is right. Adam -- Adam is a cruel person, and he's a wolf dressed in a sheep suit. And he wants whatever he wants, and he doesn't care who he destroys
Liza: Hey, you handle Jake, and I'll deal with Adam
Gillian: No. Jake's right. You cant trust Adam. He's like a drug, and you're addicted to him. Even though you're think you're over it, he's still in your blood.
Liza: Gillian, you have the power. You can do this. All you need to do is give me some time, and I can convince him that Adam is not going to be in Colby's life. Just give me six months. Just put off the wedding till June -- please. Please. And then we could just all live happily ever after. Please.

Stuart: You've got to be kidding. You're not going to send us to prison.
Adam: I have no choice.
Stuart: I'm your brother. And you love Liza
Adam: Well, I don't love Marian. I'll make sure that she's te matron's special pet.
Stuart: I think you're bluffing.
Adam: I am pressed to the wall, Stuart. Your ridiculous impersonation of me cost me millions. My whole family's turned against me.
Stuart: You had it coming.
Adam: There's plenty of blame to go around. Liza's divorcing me. That's my punishment. Yours is 15 to 30 years in Statesville. Your son will be married and have grown children by the time you're released.
Stuart: I still think you're bluffing.
Adam: Well, why don't you call my bluff? Or insure your freedom by signing this divorce settlement.
Stuart: That -- that's forgery.
Adam: Well, that shouldn't bother you after all those checks you signed in my name.
Stuart: So if I sign that, te you an Liza wouldn't really be divorced. It's kind of like that time you sent me down to the Caribbean get you quickie divorce from Erica.
Adam: You didn't fail me then. Don't fail me now
Stuart: No, Adam. I'm not going to be part of any plan to trick Liza, no.
Adam: You're not gong to get any conjugal visits from Marian when you're behind bars.
Stuart: You're not going to fink on us.
Adam: No? Don't push me, Stuart.
Stuart: Well, ok. If you're going to call the police, then we'll just have to tell them that you swapped your sperm sample for Jake's, and maybe we'll be cell mates.
Adam: Damn Marian. She turned a lovable brother into a spiteful --
Stuart: You're just mad because I wont do what you want me to do.
Adam, I know you love Liza, but you're not going to get her back by tricking her. You just better forget about this. You're going to be so - so sorry.
Adam: I can't be any more sorry than am right now.

Leo: Greenlee's still not there? All right, do me a favor. Check the pool house, check te stables, check everything. If you find her, have her call me right away. It's truly urgent all right. Thank you.
How's it going, man?
Cody: Hey.
Leo: I saw your buddy with that cute little blond.
Cody: Oh, yeah. Well, they should be knocking on heaven's gate right about now.
Leo: Yeah. Some guys have all the luck, don't they?
Cody: Yeah. Leo: You wouldn't happen to know where heaven's gate is, would you? I was hoping to get a little after he's through with her, if you know what I mean.
Cody: Oh, sorry, pal. Kenny operates in private. Doesn't like to be interrupted, if you know what I mean.
Leo: Got a short attention span?
Cody: Yeah.
Leo: Greenlee, I hope to God you know how to defend yourself.

Hayley: Hey.
Mateo: Hey.
Hayley: Don't you want to ask me to dance?
Mateo: Do you want to dance?
Hayley: Funny, I was just about to ask you. We still got all the right moves.
Mateo: Ooh, we still got it. You know what? Some things you never forget, like how good it feels to hold you. We're a perfect fit, you know that?

Leo: If Greenlee's not at home, where could she be? In the arms of Kenny the octopus?
Scott: Hey. Times are pretty bad when you're sitting around in a bar talking to yourself at night.
Leo: I find myself incredible good company. Actually, I was ruminating on Pine valley. Life in a small town can be amazingly deceptive -- and totally out of my grasp.
Scott: Yeah. Well, life is what happens when you're making other plans, right?

[Telephone rings]

Scott: Oh, excuse me. Scott Chandler. Eli, yeah. Yeah, for sure. I'm on my way. All right. Damn, uh --

Leo: Don't tell me -- life just happened. Scott: Yeah, a cameraman just called in sick. I've got to sub for the 11:00 News. Can you do me a favor? When Becca gets here, tell her that I'm at the station and to come by later if she'd like?
Leo: I'll be sure to give her that option.
Scott: You'll do it?
Leo: If you do a favor for me. If you see Ryan down at WRCW, tell him that I'm looking for him. Tell him to call me right away. It's very important.
Scott: No problem.

Ken: You drink like a hummingbird. What's with the microsips?
Greenlee: Domestic beer doesn't do it for me.
Ken: Oh, beer's beer.
Greenlee: I've developed a taste for Schatzenkeller.
Ken: Gesundheit.
Greenlee: It's a German beer. My Gramps keeps plenty on ice. If you take me home, I'll introduce you to one of the world's greatest pleasures.
Ken: Sold. But how about one for the road?
Greenlee: Whoa, Kenny, Kenny. What's the rush?
Ken: Hey. What kind of tease you running here, little girl
Greenlee: Listen, Kenny, I guess the bet thing is for me just to be honest with you. I don't want us to get all balled up when my intentions weren't strictly honorable.
Ken: Go on.
Greenlee: Listen, I want you to know that I think you're a great guy, so I hope that you don't take this personally because this isn't about you and me.
Ken: There somebody else in this room I don't know about?
Greenlee: There was a guy a the club tonight -- Ryan.
Ken: Yeah.
Greenlee: And we sort of had this no-strings thing going except that I found myself falling for him. But he didn't see me as anything more than just a fun distraction.
Ken: Yeah, I'm not sure I like where this bedtime story is headed.
Greenlee: Well, see, I know where I want it to end. I want Ryan to see me as more than just a little fun-and tumble.
Ken: Is this where I come in?
Greene: He's like a throwback to the ancient days when knights rode around protecting their fair ladies' virtue.
Ken: Say what?
Greenlee: Ryan has a thing for saving girls in trouble, the deal was that Ryan -- I would leave the club with you -- more man then I can handle. At least that's what I wanted Ryan to think. And then my friend Leo would send Ryan to rescue me.
Ken: From the big, bad wolf.
Greenlee: Well, yeah. Sort of. But, see, I know that you're really just a pussycat, but Ryan's supposed to jump up at my Grandma's. to jump us at my grandma's.
Ken: Really.
Greenlee: Yeah.
Ken: Cool plan.
Greenlee: Yeah, I thought so. Hey, I just had a flash. With you in on this, we could up the stakes. And so that you don't feel totally used, I'll make it well worth your while. How much -- how much is a night with me worth, Kenny? Will $100 cover your part in this rescue mission?

Becca: If you look too hard for the miracle, you're going to miss it, and it's string you right in the face.
Ryan: Well, how do you know if it is?
Becca: Have you ever seen those magic eye pictures? You're stare at it, and ail you see are these dots. And then you get all cross-eyed and you get a headache because you're looking for some deeper meaning. But if you soften, relax your focus, you can see the beautiful pictures - like a sunset or a flight of birds, something you didn't even see before. And that's how you know. You know, it's like that miracle. It's right there. You just got to stop trying so hard.
Ryan: Well, you make it sound so simple.
Becca: It is. Ryan, for a bright guy, you can be so dense sometimes come on. You're looking at your lie with Gillian, and you are missing the big picture.
Ryan: Thai's just it. I don't know if thee is big picture.
Becca: There is. Look just take your life with Gillian. Rewind it. Play it back -- the best and the worst times. And when you get to the end, ask yourself -- did you try hard enough, or did you quIt before the miracle?
Ryan: I don't know how to answer that question.
Becca: You don't have to answer it no. I wasn't looking for an answer. It's something you're going to have to figure out on your own. But do me a favor. Don't look hear. Ryan, look here. Ok?
Ryan: Ok.
Becca: I'm going to go back t the party now. You coming?
Ryan: No, I still have some soul-searching to do.
Becca: You going to be all right?
Ryan: Yeah. I hope so.
Becca: Ok.
Ryan: Thank you, Becca.
Becca: You're welcome, Ryan. See you later.

Gillian: Jake wants to start our family as soon as possible. How can I say no?
Liza: What do you want?
Gillian: I want for the first time in m life put someone else's needs ahead of my own. And I'm not about to throw that away.
Liza: Even if you risk losing everything ?
Gillian: I'm just -- I'm honoring Jake's wishes, and whatever happens happens.
Liza: And you can live with that? You can live with yourself?
Gillian: Liza, I don't know how this is going to end. All I know is that I didn't start this, and I'm not going to let us get sucked down with you and Adam.
Liza: You know, it's only a matter of time. Because if Jake does go forward with the custody trial, the truth is going to come out. Adam will see to it. How do you think that Jake is going to feel when he finds out that you kept this secret from him?
Gillian he'll understand that I did it because I love him and Colby so much, and anything that can come between them has got to be wrong.

Liza: Hi, baby.
Liza: You know, I want to give you one last chance to please change your mind --
Jake: I have taken and given all the last chances I can with her!

Gillian: This is how a flake takes care of herself!
Ryan: Aw, come here. Princess, I love you.

Clergyman: I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Ryan: You know, nobody's ever risked everything for me the way you have.
Gillian: Nobody's ever loved you the way I do.

Ryan: I want you to file for a divorce.
Gillian: Fine.

Ryan: So -- can you say my name?
Gillian: Heart.
Ryan: No, it's -- it's Ryan
Alex: That's very good, actually. That's very good because she was looking for a word that means "you," and she still cares about you. You're in her heart.

Becca: Or did you quit before the miracle?

Hayley: Mmm. That was nice.
Mateo: Too short. Listen, you got to forgive me, but I got to get back to work, ok?
Hayley: Only if you give me an apron and let me pitch in.
Mateo: No, no, you're the guest of this party. You're the honoree. I'm not going let you work this. Well, you do whatever you want. Hayley: You mean it?
Mateo: I mean it. Whatever you want.
Hayley: You know what I rally want?
Mateo: What?
Hayley: I want to go back out to our little park bench, just you and me.
Mateo: Yeah? All right. We're there. Just le me talk to my partner.
Hayley: All right.

Leo: Becca. I really, really need you to help me.
Becca: Look, I just taught a class on miracles, so find someone else to save your soul right now.
Leo: I don't have a soul. I need to find Ryan and sic the bloodhounds on Greenlee before -- never mind. Have you seen Ryan?
Becca: I just left him at the park on the bench by Miller's pond.
Leo: Thank you. Pray that I'm not too late.

Greenlee: Ken? Don't you want the money?
Ken: You don't think much of me, do you little girl? Comes to that, you don't think much of yourself.
Greenlee: What are you talking about?
Ken: You people -- I mean, you're all alike. You think money rules. Yu can get away with anything because you got the cash.
Greenlee: I - just want to pay you f your time.
Ken: What? What's the going rate for an unemployed maintenance man? Oh, yeah. Did you know your Granny gave me The ax? Yeah, I just borrowed some tools to fix my pick-up. I was going to return them. She wouldn't even let me explain.
Greenlee: Well, that's not right. I'll call Grandmother first thing in the morning and have you reinstated.
Ken: Oh, you'd do that for me? Just -- just wave your magic wand. Poof! I'm back screwing in light bulbs for minimum wage.
Greenlee: If you don' like the job --
Ken: The job is not the point! How many times have you passed by, your nose in the air and never once said hi? Hell, you didn't even know my name until you needed something. And then you figure a nobody like me living in a dump like this would do anything for a buck. So you play me for an angell - you get what you want. What do I get? Because I'm telling you right now, 100 bucks ain't going to cut it.
Greenlee: Ken, you are so wrong.
Ken: Uh-uh. I am calling it just the way it is. I am sick of rich bitches like you and your grandma. Now, you're going to find out what it feels like to be used and tossed like garbage.

Leo: Ryan! Ryan!
Leo: Hey, it's Leo again. Still nothing? All right, thanks. Damn it!
Leo: All right, thank you.

Mateo: Hey, Leo, how are you doing?
Leo: Hey. I hate to interrupt a private conversation --
Becca: Hey, did you find Ryan?
Leo: No. He was gone by the time I got there.
Becca: I know, Scott's not here, either.
Adrian: I thought I saw the two of you sitting at the bar.
Leo: Yeah, right. He got a call. He had to go to work.
Becca: Oh, does he want me to meet him there?
Leo: Nope. He -- he'll meet you here when he gets back.
Becca: Oh, ok.
Tina: Excuse me. The dishwasher just flooded the kitchen.
Adrian: Excuse us. Excuse us.
Becca: Hey -- what did you want to talk to me about? I mean, tell me, seriously.
Leo: Sit down. I'm not at liberty -- I'm not at liberty to go into detail right now, but I need you to help me find out where Ken took Greenlee.
Becca why? Is she in trouble?
Leo: I honestly don't know. But I have a sinking feeling that Greenlee -- Greenlee might be in over her head. Touching bottom.
Becca: I'm sorry. Greenlee wouldn't confide in me.
Leo: I tried chatting it up with Ken's friend Cody, but he blew me off with his beer breath. I was hoping you might have better luck.
Becca: You want me to suck up some guy's beer breath? That just shows how much you think of me.
Leo: Becca, sit, please. I think the world of you. Any guy -- any guy that sees you, he'd offer you his soul.
Becca: I thought you didn't have a soul.
Leo: I was talking about Stinky. Please.
Becca: Ok. I'll do it for you.
Leo: Thank you so much. This is the last time I help a friend in need.

Mateo: Listen, if you're too cold, you know ,we could go back.
Hayley: Mmm no, I wouldn't dream of it.
Mateo: Ok. Come here. Is that better?
Hayley: Much.
Mateo: All right
Hayley: In fact, it doesn't get any better than this.
Mateo: I'm with you. So how does it feel to be a hit?
Hayley: Stop it.
Mateo: No, I mean it. I'm really -- I'm really proud of you.
Hayley: That means everything to me.
Mateo: Yeah. I mean, just watching you work, you know, and pulling it all together. You know, you did that all yourself.
Hayley: Nobody does that all by themselves.
Mateo well, you know what I mean. I mean you don't have to share it with anybody like me.
. Hayley: Sharing's the best part.
Mateo: Yeah.
Hayley: Do you remember when we were o the beach together, and we wee sitting on that blanket and looking up at all the stars?
Mateo: Yeah. Best night of my life. Till tonight.
Hayley: You looked up in the sky and you said, "nothingness with sparkle."
Mateo: "But when at sparkles." I've been meaning to ask can I kiss you?
Hayley: Yes. Please.
Mateo: Come here.

Liza: Adam? This is all wrong.

Jake: I'm going to go meet with my lawyer in her office right now.
Gillian: You want me to come with you?
Jake: No, 's ok, sweetheart. You've done so much for me already I can get this thing going on my own.
Gillian: Are you sure?
Jake: Yeah. I'm not going to cut you out of this thing. You've done a lot for me. Thank you.
Gillian: I haven't done anything.
Jake: You have. You love me?
Gillian: Yea.
Jake: Yeah. Good. That's everything. I get back. We'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow. That is, if you've got nothing else to do.
Gillian: Well, let's see, I've cleared my schedule for the next 50 years.
Jake: Well, good. We'll get married as soon as we can.
Gillian: The sooner the better.
Jake: I want to thank you for being the second miracle in my life. And I also want you to forgive me.
Gillian: Forgive you for what?
Jake: I kind of cheated you out of a real engagement, you know? I was wanting to court you a little bit. You know? Candlelight suppers and moonlight drives in the big red truck Adam and Liza have kind of made that impossible. I'm sorry.
Gillian: Hey, there's no need for you to explain or ask for forgiveness.
Jake: I'll make it up to you. As soon as Colby's here for good, I will make it up to you. And that's going to be very soon, I promise..

Hayley: What are you looking for, Mateo?
Mateo: When I find it, I'll let you know.
Hayley: Maybe if you give me a hint, I can help you.
Mateo: Well, I don't -- we're not in a hurry, right?
Hayley: I guess not.
Mateo: Ok.
Hayley: It's getting chilly out here. You want to snuggle me?
Mateo: Yeah. Come here.
Hayley: Ow.
Mateo: What? What?
Hayley: Is that a Chimichunga in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Mateo: What are you talking about?
Hayley: Something just jabbed me in the hip. If you got a candy bar in there, and you're not sharing, you're in big trouble.
Mateo: No, it's n a candy bar.
Hayley: What is it?
Hayley: Is this what I this it is?

Liza: Gillian turned me down. She and Jake are getting married right away so that they can sue me for custody as a family.
Adam: This is all my fault. I set this in motion when I switched my sperm with Jake's.
Liza: How do I keep that from coming out in court so I can keep custody of my girl?
Adam: I swear to you, no one will learn the truth from me.
Liza: Well, nothing would surprise me, but Jake -- Jake -- he knows how much my daughter means to me.
Adam: I know, I know. Take heart, sweetheart. All is not lost. You still have Colby.
Liza: I don't want to hurt Jake.
Adam: Well, I wish he felt the same way about you. He has no right to feel this way. He has no rights, period.
Liza: He thinks he's Colby's father. How do I take that away from him?
Adam: The same way you did it to me.
Liza: I need time to regroup I need to come up with a solution that'll be good for everybody.
Adam: Liza, I have enormous faith in you, and I will stand by you and our baby no matter what happens.

Ryan: Gillian. What is it? Is something ~wrong?
Gillian: Ryan, everything is wrong. Everything is right - everything is just so crazy and mixed-up.
Ryan: What is?
Gillian: I don't -- I don't even know where to begin.
Ryan: Well, just take a deep breath and tell me.
Gillian: Ok. Jake is suing for custody of Colby, and we're going to get married tomorrow or the day after.
Ryan: Well, then I got here just in time to stop you.

Cody: So are you here solo?
Becca well, I picked up this one guy just to party with, but he had to go home to check on is online investments.
Cody: Well, maybe you'd like to team up with me.
Becca: Oh. That depends. What are you into?
Cody: The lady names her pleasure.
Becca: Oh, really? Hmm. So, where'd Ken go with that bleached bimbette maybe we could party with them.
Cody: No, the Pine Cone's an armpit. Besides, there's only one bed, and I'm not really into sharing but I'll drop a dime to a guy that I know. Maybe he'll let us crash and have a few beers.
Becca: You do that. Hurry back.

Becca: Greenlee's at the Pine Cone.
Leo: The Pine Cone? What the hell is that?
Becca: It's a pay-by-the-hour dump where no one can hear you scream.
Leo: All right. I'm going to no find her.
Becca: No, no, no. I'm going with you.
Leo: No way.
Becca: Yes. I'm not going to stay here to be groped by that sleazy guy.
Leo: All right. Come on.

Ken: You want to try and buy your way out of this one, little girl too bad. Because it's not your money I want.
