Ryan: Whoo.
Well, we are a hit.
Gillian: Everybody seems
to be having so much fun.
Ryan: Well, hopefully not too
much fun.
Gillian: Don't make fun
of what happened on the yacht.
Ryan: No, no, no.
Nobody's going to be slipping
any love potions in anybody's
drink this time.
You have my word.
Plus, after you give
your speech, you're going
to have the whole party
at your feet.
Gillian: My speech.
Do you have to remind me?
The whole thing's gone out
of my head entirely.
Ryan: What are you worried
about?
What are you worried about?
Dixie's going to be back soon,
any second, with your notes.
Gillian: What's taking
her so long?
Ryan: I don't know.
I don't know.
Come on.
You're going to have your notes
in plenty of time.
Tad went to find her,
if he hasn't found her already.
Let's have this dance.
David: I love you, Dixie.
I love you.
Dixie: What you're feeling
for me isn't love.
David: It's all right.
I'll have plenty of time
of convincing you of that
afterwards.
Dixie: There's not going
to be any afterwards.
This is stopping --
David: No --
Dixie: Right now.
David: We can't just stop
this.
It's already begun.
Dixie: No, it hasn't.
David: What we just shared --
that kiss -- can you turn
your back on that?
Can you honestly walk out that
door knowing that you'll never
have that again?
Dixie: I have to.
David: Your only argument is
that you're married.
Dixie: Yes, and that should
be enough.
David: It should be.
Dixie: It is!
David: I'm not trying to make
you do anything.
I just want you to be honest
with yourself.
Dixie, what do you want?
What is it that you want right
now?
Dixie, look at me.
When we met each other a while
back, we didn't want this.
We're two people from two very
different places.
But we found one another.
We got into each other's hearts,
Dixie.
And I know for myself I haven't
been the same since.
I also know that I've changed
you, too.
Haven't I, Dixie?
Haven't I made a difference
in your life?
Dixie: Yes.
David: Everything that
we have shared has brought us
to this very moment right now.
It's time to act, Dixie.
It's time for us to stop putting
barriers on our hearts when
we know that whatever's there
inevitable.
I need you, Dixie.
I want you.
I want you so badly that I feel
like I can't even go
on to the next moment
without you.
And you feel the same way.
I'm right, aren't I?
You want me as much as I want
you.
Can you honestly say that I'm
wrong?
Dixie: No.
David: "No" what?
Dixie: No, you're not wrong.
I want you, David.
Laura: What's wrong?
Leo: It's Greenlee.
She's on Ryan's yacht.
She sounds like --
what the hell am I doing?
I almost fell for another one
of Greenlee's traps.
Like she's really going to drown
herself.
Laura: Drown herself?
Leo: No, no, no, she's just
yanking my chain.
Don't worry about it.
Laura: God, Leo,
are you sure?
Leo: I'm positive.
Take it to the bank.
Laura: Well, then,
forget her.
Leo: I intend to.
To Greenlee Smythe.
Go play your mind games on some
other poor sap.
Greenlee: Ah!
That's cold. That's cold.
Ok.
Come on, Leo, hurry up.
By now he's breaking every
speeding law getting over here
so he can rescue me.
Better get started.
Be totally soaked by the time
he gets here.
Ah!
Judge Mayhew: Adam, if I'm
to perform this ceremony,
I'm going to need the attention
of the bride and groom.
Adam: Yes, well, you'll have
it.
You'll have it, judge.
We need to wait for my daughter
Hayley.
She'll be here in just a moment.
We can't get married
without Hayley.
See what's --
Mateo: Yeah.
Adam: Thank you.
Hayley: I've got to go.
My father is getting married.
Vanessa: You meant that
literally, didn't you?
Arlene is really dead.
Mateo: Vanessa, come on.
That -- that's ridiculous.
You know what she meant.
She meant that she's dead to us
dead, like as in we're not
speaking to her anymore.
She's out of our lives.
Let's go. Come on.
She's dead?
Adam: Vanessa, Vanessa,
we don't know a damn thing about
that necklace.
No, we don't.
If you think Arlene has it,
you're never going to see it
or her again, so just be happy
with your insurance money.
Now, please, we're trying
to have a wedding here.
Vanessa: Oh, well, by all
means.
Congratulations to the bride,
the groom.
Mateo: Adam, I think I'm
going to take her to sit down,
ok?
Hayley: Um -- no. No way.
Adam: No, no.
We can wait a few minutes.
Take her someplace quiet.
Mateo: The rings.
Adam: We'll be right here.
Mateo: Here you go.
Liza: Would you be upset
if we just didn't do this?
Adam: Oh, yes. Yes, I would.
I wanted us to bring in
the new year as man and wife.
Liza: Well, so do I, but --
Adam: No, no, we can do it.
She'll feel better in a few
minutes.
We have the judge here.
We have the cake here.
Come on.
I know we missed getting married
at the stroke of midnight,
but we could still make it
happen if we both want to.
Judge Mayhew: Excuse me,
Adam, Liza.
I've just looked at
your marriage license, and I'm
afraid there's a problem.
Donald: Oh, come on,
it's a simple question.
I don't know why you have
to keep tap-dancing -- unless
you have something against gay
people.
Erica: Oh, now, Donald,
you know that that's ridiculous.
I -- I have many gay friends.
Donald: How about a gay
daughter?
Erica: Donald, what is this?
I mean, did you get scooped
on the Cher/Chastity story
so now you're trying to invent
this one?
Oh, come on, Donald.
You're better than that.
Donald: I am?
Erica: Of course you are.
Donald, what could this story
be?
I mean, two paragraphs
at the most?
First you report that you heard
this scurrilous rumor, and then
"Erica Kane Denies."
Donald: Does Erica Kane deny?
Erica: Does it really matter
if I do or not, Donald?
The poison would be out there
anyway.
You know that.
My daughter is 16 years old.
Donald, what are you doing this
for?
For two cheap paragraphs in some
rag?
Come on.
Donald: No, you're right.
I am so much better than this.
I just -- you know, I got a hot
tip.
You know, but Erica Kane denies.
It's just a couple of
paragraphs.
They'll bury it somewhere
in the back of the article.
You know, it's hardly worth
the effort.
Erica: You're right.
I'm so glad we agree, Donald.
Donald: Yeah, except wait
a second.
Wait a second.
I believe you're starting
to perspire.
Huh?
Erica: Donald, you don't have
anything here.
Donald: Yo!
Happy New Year to me.
I mean, Erica Kane, the ideal
woman, desired by every
red-blooded American male
in America, right, has
a daughter who won't give a guy
a second look.
Erica: You're a disgusting
little man.
Donald: Nevertheless --
hey, Bianca, listen.
You can tell me.
Just between us, come on.
Erica: No, Honey, you don't
have to tell him anything.
Donald: Oh, come on,
just between us.
You know, those towels that are
hanging in your bathroom,
do they say "hers" and "hers"?
Huh?
Adam: This is a technicality.
When did you become
so scrupulous about the fine
points of the law?
Liza: Adam!
Judge Mayhew: The marriage
license expired at the end
of 2000.
It is now 2001.
Am: By a few minutes.
Fudge the date!
What do you think I pay you --
keep you around for?
Judge Mayhew: This is
the second time I've rearranged
my schedule to do you a favor,
Adam, and you have kept me
waiting as if I were a lackey.
Yes, I've cut corners
for you before, but this time
I'm going to follow the law
because I feel like it.
Adam: You feel like it?
Liza: Adam, you know,
maybe it's for the best.
I appreciate the sweet gesture
of us getting married
at the stroke of midnight,
but now's not the right time.
You know I'm right.
Adam: Yes, I suppose so.
Liza: Thank you,
Judge Mayhew, especially
for making all the effort.
And we'll do it again in a few
days when the time is right.
Judge Mayhew: Good.
Excuse me now.
I have my own New Year's
celebration waiting.
Adam: Who the bloody hell
does he think he is?
Liza: I know.
What is the use of having
the judicial branch in your back
pocket if they can't forge a few
legal documents?
Adam: You know me far too
well for my own good.
Liza: Mm-hmm.
Adam: You do still intend
to marry me anyway,
though, don't you?
Liza: It's a safe bet.
Adam: It'll be a happier
marriage, happier wedding,
if Hayley's feeling better.
If we could just get Vanessa
to stop snooping around after
that necklace.
Palmer: We'll have to get
together real soon, Judge.
Judge Mayhew: I look forward
to it.
Happy New Year.
Vanessa: Happy New Year
to you.
Well, looks like the Chandlers
aren't getting married after
all.
I wonder why.
Palmer: Does it matter?
Come on. Let's dance.
Vanessa: There's something
wrong with that bunch.
Palmer: Hmm?
Vanessa: And I am certain it
has to do with Arlene.
Hayley: You know, I wish
you could understand that every
time I have to pretend that
Arlene is alive, it's like I'm
killing her all over again.
Mateo: Well, you can't think
like that.
And no matter how hard it is,
we can't tell the truth.
Hayley: I just want to scream
it out.
Don't you get it?
It's like I know it wouldn't
bring Arlene back, but at least
I wouldn't feel trapped,
you know, if I could just get it
out of my system.
Mateo: It was an accident.
And the only way out of this is
to wait this thing out and say
that Arlene is alive, that she's
in Europe, that she stopped
drinking, and that she's happy.
Hayley: If only that were
true.
If only I didn't kill her.
Mateo: Please -- just --
just don't fall apart on me.
Ok, you can't say things like
you said to Vanessa.
Please, just --
you know what would be
the greater injustice?
Is that if you told the truth,
you would go to jail,
and so would your father
and so would Liza and
so would I.
Hayley: I don't want you guys
to go to jail.
You're not guilty of anything.
Mateo: And neither are you.
Neither are you.
And you got to believe that.
Hayley: Just like I got
to believe Arlene is still
alive.
Mateo: All I want,
all I really care -- all that
matters to me is keeping
you by my side.
That's it.
So you got to be song.
And if you can't do it for you,
you got to do it for me
because I don't know what I'd do
without you.
I mean it.
Hayley: I don't even want
to try to imagine living
without you.
Mateo: It's going to get
easier, I promise.
Hayley: I don't see how.
But I don't want to send people
to prison.
I just don't know how we're
going to live with this
for the rest of our lives.
Mateo: I'll do whatever it
takes to make it better.
Hayley: Ok, well, Arlene is
alive and well and in Europe.
That's what the police have
to believe.
That's what Vanessa, who is
looking for her necklace,
has to believe.
And that's what I have
to believe.
Arlene is alive and well
and in Europe.
Mateo: We can do this.
Hayley: I can try.
Mateo: Come here.
Donald: Ladies, you can duck
but you can't cover.
Erica: If you don't stop
harassing us, I'll have
you thrown out.
Donald: Hey, there's a little
thing called the constitution.
You're a public figure.
I can write whatever I want.
Erica: My daughter is not
a public figure.
She's off-limits.
Donald: Hmm.
Erica: And, my God,
she's 16 years old.
Why do you want to slander
her like this?
Donald: Well, it's not
slander if it's the truth,
and that's all America wants
to know -- the truth about
your daughter.
Bianca: Mom, come on,
let's get out of here.
Donald: Hey, hey, hey --
Erica: If you follow us,
I will hurt you.
Donald: Bianca, why are
you hiding?
You haven't answered
my question.
Are you gay?
[Crowd murmurs]
Dixie: I can't believe I just
admitted that.
David: You're a truth teller,
Dixie.
You always have been.
It's one of the reasons why
I can't hide myself
from you or deny my feelings.
Dixie: Well, I haven't been
telling the truth to Tad,
certainly.
And I don't think I've been
telling the truth to myself --
till now.
David: It wasn't that
difficult, was it?
Dixie: It's very difficult.
You have no idea how ashamed
I am.
David: Ashamed? No.
There's no reason to be ashamed
for loving someone.
Dixie: You want to make this
so pure.
I -- I tried to make it pure
by being your friend, by being
your assistant.
I felt like working
for you would make me part
of something bigger,
something more vital,
something that changed people's
lives.
And instead --
saving Dimitri has just made me
feel like everything I do is
so inconsequential!
David: Don't say that.
Dixie, everything you do
matters.
Dixie: Are you kidding me?
Would you --
the most important decision
of my day is what to serve
for dinner.
David: Dixie, whether
you realize it or not,
you create a whole world
for the people you love.
Dixie: And what am I doing
to everybody in that world right
now?
David: You're doing what
you always do -- you're putting
them first.
But what about what you want,
what you need?
What about what you're feeling
this very moment, Dixie?
Dixie: It scares me.
It scares me, and you scare me.
Maybe it's true.
Maybe what they say -- that
you just have some sort of power
over women.
David: Oh, Dixie,
don't you see this?
You're the one with the power
here.
Dixie: Me?
David: Yes.
I am absolutely terrified right
now.
I am terrified that you're going
to change your mind and you're
going to leave.
You're not going to leave,
are you?
Dixie: I should go.
I'm married to Tad.
I should be with him.
David: Even though this is
what you want?
Dixie: No.
I want Tad, ok?
Look --
I promise you, if I wasn't
married, I would be with you.
I would.
Right here, right now.
But I can't.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
I won't.
David: Dixie,
let me make love to you.
Let me bring you places that
you've never been, Dixie.
[Knock on door]
Tad: Dixie?
Dix?
Dixie: Tad!
Tad: There you are.
Dixie: Honey --
Tad: I was knocking.
Didn't you hear me?
Dixie: I'm sorry.
I was looking for the notes.
I had to find them.
I didn't want to --
Tad: Whoa, whoa, whoa --
Dixie: Let anybody down.
Tad: What's wrong with you?
You're shaking like a leaf.
What's the matter?
Dixie: No, no, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I just got a little lost.
And then --
but I found my way back.
Tad: Ok.
Dixie: So I'm good, I'm good.
Let's go.
Tad: Ok -- no, no, no.
Calm down, calm down.
Everything's fine.
I just missed you, you know?
I was looking for you
on the countdown to midnight.
Dixie: Oh, God, we missed --
I missed the kiss?
Tad: No.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's right here.
Tad: Come on.
I want to go dance with my wife.
Leo: What are we doing
standing here?
We could be dancing.
Laura: Well, don't you want
to go to Greenlee?
I know you're probably thinking
about her.
Leo: Greenlee is a very,
very sweet girl.
Who knows?
With a lot of work,
someday she might even be
a viable human being.
She might even be fit to live
with another person, but that
person will definitely not be
me.
Laura: No?
Leo: No, no, no.
I am out of the Greenlee
business.
In fact, I'm out of the love
business, period.
You know, it's the biggest
mistake of my life, tying myself
down to one person.
From now on, I am going
to spread my charm around.
After all, I am full of it,
right?
Charm, I mean.
Laura: Oh, no argument there.
Leo: So come on.
Let's shake our booties.
That's charming, no?
Laura: Damn charming.
[Greenlee screams]
Greenlee: Where are you, Leo?
I'm supposed to be killing
myself, not catching pneumonia.
Donald: Ah, come on, Bianca.
I mean, you know, don't you just
want to be a role model for
all those confused young women
out there who just want
to sing "I am what I am"?
Jack: You know, I would very
strongly suggest that
you reconsider covering this
story.
It's none of your damn business.
Donald: All right,
it's everybody's business now.
Erica: Bianca --
just -- just tell him it's not
true.
Bianca: Mom, you want me
to lie?
Erica: Honey, it's the only
way you can stop him now.
Just -- just tell him you're not
gay.
Bianca: But, Mom,
I am gay.
[Crowd reacts]
Erica: How could you do this?
Bianca: How could I do this?
Jack: Boys --
Dimitri: How about a dance?
Donald: Whoa, whoa, come on.
I'm working a story here.
Edmund: This story's over.
Gillian: Nobody's moving.
Ryan: Yeah.
I'll get the music started.
[Music plays]
Bianca: Mom, no, this is
my life.
This has nothing to do with you.
Erica: Everything about
you has to do with me.
Bianca: No, no, not this.
This is all mine, and it is just
a small part of who I am, Mom.
If people want to make a big
deal about this --
Erica: "If"? "If"?
Just wait.
Oh, my God. Just wait.
Rain: That was incredible.
Bianca: I need some water.
Rain: You got it.
Opal: Erica, Honey,
I'm so sorry this had to happen
like this.
But, you know, everything is
going to be ok.
It really, really is.
Erica: Opal, please don't
look at me like that.
I don't need your pity.
Opal: Pity? Erica --
Palmer: Erica, your daughter
is a very brave young woman,
and you should be proud of her.
Erica: At the moment,
I'm just -- I'm really just not
sure of anything.
And your sympathy is not
helping.
Opal: Honey, we're just
concerned about the shock that
it's been to you, that's all.
Vanessa: Oh, please.
Erica's right, you know.
We can't just pretend this isn't
happening.
I mean, you have been dealt
a devastating blow,
my dear, and it is going
to follow you the rest
of your life.
And you know they always blame
the mother.
Opal: Don't listen
to this viper.
It is going to be ok, Erica.
I promise you it is.
Vanessa: And you are
so naive.
The press is never going to get
enough of it -- who's
she dating, does Erica approve,
so on, so on.
Opal: It's none of their damn
business.
Palmer: Vanessa, she is
the same girl she has always
been.
Vanessa: Fine, fine.
I'm glad that you two are
so at ease with it, but you are
in the minority.
You mark my words.
Palmer: Well, I'm going
to see how she is.
Vanessa: You know,
Greta Garbo had it right.
The less said, the better.
Opal: Greta Garbo?
She was --
I didn't know she was that way.
Who was her girlfriend?
I mean, I never --
Vanessa: Thank you,
Opal, you have made my point.
Marcus: Well, no wonder
I didn't score with Bianca.
She's playing for the other
team.
Shannon: Yuck!
Bianca's locker is across
from mine in gym class.
I'm moving.
Mindy: Eew, I am so creeped
out.
Heather: Oh, get over it,
you two.
So she's gay?
Big whoop.
Marcus: Exactly.
I doubt you're even her type.
Shannon: Oh, shut up.
Leo: Damn, Bianca's got
juice.
Liza: The poor kid.
Adam: No, this is 2001.
Bianca doesn't have to hide
in the closet.
Liza: Imagine having to deal
with Erica.
Adam: I don't have
to imagine.
Mateo: Did we miss
the wedding?
Liza: Oh, no.
No, no, we postponed it
so Marian and Stuart could be
there.
Hayley: Oh, great.
Well, that sounds good to me.
Can we get out of here now?
Mateo: Sure. Yeah.
Hayley: Ok.
Whoa --
did you see that?
Just like Arlene at our wedding,
falling over the wedding cake.
Mateo: That was nothing like
Arlene.
You didn't fall into the cake.
Hayley: Just like Arlene.
I think I'll drop her a line --
in Europe, where she lives.
Mateo: Time to say good
night.
Adam: Yeah, let's say good
night, too.
[Gillian laughs]
Gillian: I don't want
to make my speech.
Ryan: Oh, I think it's
a little bit past that time,
don't you think?
Gillian: Oh, thank you,
thank you, thank you.
I was so dreading it.
Ryan: You know what else
I think?
I think that this party can get
along just fine without us.
Gillian: Mm-hmm.
Dixie: Oh, there goes
Gillian.
Did she give her speech already?
Tad: Sweetie, relax.
If she gave the speech,
obviously she didn't need
her notes, right?
Dixie: I hope I didn't cause
a problem.
Tad: No, no.
Just looked like they had
something else on their mind,
you know?
Which isn't necessarily a bad
idea.
Waiter: Mr. Martin?
Tad: Yeah?
Waiter: Your partner would
like to speak to you
in the study.
Tad: Thank you.
What the hell Liza wants at this
hour?
Dixie: I don't know.
Must be important.
Tad: Yeah, so I better get it
over with quick.
Dixie: Ok.
Tad: Love you.
Brooke: Hey, Dixie.
You having a good time?
Dixie: Hi.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Brooke: What did you think
of the fireworks before
with Bianca and Erica?
Dixie: Well, I don't know.
What happened?
Brooke: What happened?
You weren't here?
Where were you?
Tad: Liza?
Leslie: Tad, I have something
to tell you.
Tad: What?
Leslie: This.
Tad: Leslie -- Leslie --
stop!
[Leslie gasps]
[Music plays]
Tad: Are --
are you all right?
Leslie: I don't know.
Tad: I've had it with you,
ok?
You ever try anything like that
again, you ever come near me,
I'm going to have you arrested
for harassment.
Do you understand?
Leslie: Will you please just
help me up?
Tad: What, so you can grab me
again?
No, I don't think so.
Leslie: Tad, I'm sorry.
Leslie: I'm sorry, Tad.
But when someone pushes me,
I push back.
David: Dixie --
Dixie: Look, no more, ok?
Leave me alone.
David: Wait.
You're running away
from something that you really
want -- you admitted that --
because of Tad.
But are you sure that he's worth
it?
Dixie: We're finished.
I almost made a very stupid
mistake tonight.
Nothing is going to happen
between us.
David: I know.
You want to be faithful to Tad.
Tad: Dixie, would you mind
if we leave now?
Dixie: Oh --
no.
Did you meet up with Liza?
Tad: No.
No, actually, I never found
Liza.
Can we just go home?
Dixie: What is that?
Tad: What? What?
Dixie: Is that lipstick
on your collar?
Jack: Erica, let's see
if Bianca wants to go home now,
shall we?
Erica: And leave
her coming-out party?
I don't think so.
I think she's having way too
much fun.
And she has you to thank
for tonight.
Jack: Excuse me?
Erica: This is all your fault
what happened here tonight.
I didn't want her to come
to this party.
I knew that no good would come
to this.
But, no, you took it upon
yourself to bring her.
You encouraged her.
Jack: I encouraged
your daughter to be herself
and to be honest with
her mother.
Erica --
Dimitri: Hey, how are
you handling this?
Erica: Dimitri, can
you please get me out of here?
Dimitri: Let's go.
Laura: So, are Bianca
and Rain --
Leo: No, no, no.
Just pals.
Laura: Oh, that's too bad.
They'd make a cute couple,
don't you think?
Leo: I like the fact that
you're cool with this.
Laura: Well, you guys
could've clued me in on this.
Come to think of it, there were
a lot of secrets you were
keeping from me.
Leo: Oh, yeah, about that --
this is the reason that Bianca
couldn't say anything about who
pushed you off the boat.
Laura: What was?
Leo: That Bianca's gay.
Greenlee was blackmailing her.
Laura: How?
Leo: Erica didn't know,
so Greenlee threatened to tell
Erica if Bianca told anyone that
Greenlee was the one that pushed
you off the boat.
Laura: Blackmail.
Is there anything that girl
won't do?
Leo: Yeah --
tell the truth.
Greenlee: This is not
good.
Leo, you miserable, selfish pig.
How could you let me
drown?
[Noise]
[Greenlee gasps]
Greenlee: Leo, you're here.
I love you.
Greenlee: Oh, god.
Slippery.
[Greenlee screams]
Greenlee: Leo! Leo!
Leo!
Ryan: Greenlee?
What are --
what are you doing?
Gillian: What were you trying
to do, jump?
Greenlee: Go away.
Where is Leo?
Ryan: Forget about Leo.
Greenlee: Leo! Leo!
Ryan: You've got hypothermia.
You're freezing.
Gillian, get some blankets.
We got to get you to a hospital.
Come on.
Greenlee: Where is Leo?
[Music plays]
Laura: Well, you sure turned
out to be the belle of the ball.
Leo: You got guts, Bianca.
When I grow up, I want to be
brave just like you.
Bianca: Yeah, and when will
that be?
Leo: Oh, oh, oh -- ooh,
I have great news.
Just after your stunning
announcement, we got a call
from Hollywood.
Seems that Ellen wants to take
you to the Oscars.
I'm kidding.
I kid.
I'm a kidder.
Jack: Well, I don't suppose
you want to stick around here
much longer.
Bianca: Oh, no, no.
Please take me home.
Mom isn't still --
Jack: She's already left.
Bianca: You know, I didn't
want to hurt her, Uncle Jack.
I mean, that's what I've been
avoiding for months.
But I just couldn't do it
anymore.
I mean, she wanted me to keep
lying.
Jack: You did exactly
the right thing..
I'm just sorry it had to happen
under such circumstances.
Bianca: It felt good.
Jack: Yeah?
Bianca: Yeah.
I mean, I had to stick up
for myself.
I finally did.
After all, I am Erica Kane's
daughter.
Jack: Damn right.
May I?
Bianca: Yes.
Erica: I've spent my entire
life in the public eye.
Everyone in the world knows
every detail about my life.
But this was so much harder.
I could just feel everyone
looking at me, their eyes on me.
And I could just feel everyone
judging Bianca and me.
Dimitri: You want to make
this better for Bianca,
and there's nothing you can do
about it.
Erica: Dimitri, there has
to be.
Bianca is the most important
thing in the world to me.
I love her with all my heart.
And all I want for her is what
every parent wants for
their child -- for her to be
happy, for her to be able
to walk out in the world
with her head held high.
Dimitri: Yeah. Yeah.
And when you're calmer,
when you can think more clearly,
you'll know exactly how to give
Bianca what she needs.
Erica: You're such a Godsend,
Dimitri.
When I thought you were dead,
I came to realize how much I had
depended on you in times
of crisis.
Maybe that's why you came back.
Maybe you came back to life just
so you could be here for me
on this awful occasion.
Dimitri: You know that
you and Bianca hold a very
special place in my heart
and that you can always count
on me.
Erica: Dimitri, I know that
I have absolutely no right
to ask this.
But
could you please just
hold me?
[Music plays]
Brooke: Yes, it was great.
Well, it's been a very
interesting evening.
Edmund: Yes, I would say so.
Tad: I'd say.
Thank you for inviting us.
Edmund: Thank you.
Tad: Oh --
Edmund my pleasure.
Good night, both of you.
Dixie: Good night.
Brooke: Good night, you guys.
Tad: Well, I'll go get
the car.
Dixie: You know, it seems
like it's a very loud shade.
Tad: What?
Dixie: The lipstick.
Tad: Well, maybe you better
take it up with Mama.
She's the one who put it there
when she was dancing with me
earlier.
Dixie: We'll have to get it
treated or the stain won't come
out.
Tad: I'll hurry with the car.
Palmer: Dixie -- sorry
we didn't get a dance tonight.
Vanessa: Oh, I'm sure Dixie's
dance card was quite filled.
Wasn't it, dear?
Dixie: Yes.
Vanessa: So you had a good
time?
I, for one, haven't had this
much fun in a long time.
Dixie: Good night.
Palmer: Good night, dear.
Vanessa: Bye.
[Dixie runs into Leslie putting on her very 'loud' shade of lipstick.
They lock eyes]
ON THE NEXT - - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Greenlee: Leo -- I knew you'd
come.
Ryan: Aren't we taking this
relationship to a whole new
phase.
Edmund: Hey, Dimitri.
How you doing?
You took Erica home?
