ALL MY CHILDREN

JANUARY 5, 2001



Dixie: There's got to be something in here -- in his pockets. A message, a phone receipt, something.

Gillian: Hello, Dixie!
Dixie: Oh --
Gillian: Hey!
Dixie: You scared me.
Gillian: How are you? What's going on?
Dixie: Nothing.
Gillian: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You didn't forget our brunch today, did you?
Dixie: Oh, oh -- oh, sorry. Brunch, right. I'm sorry.
Gillian: What's going on, Dixie? Is it David Hayward again?
Dixie: No, no, no, no. David hasn't done anything. It's Tad. I have this sick feeling something is wrong.

Liza: Hello.
Tad: Oh, man. You scared me to death. Thanks for coming. I really appreciate it.
Liza: No, it's fine. Listen, my plate is piled kind of high. I'm getting married to Adam in a few hours and, you know, I don't want to hear anything out of you.
Tad: Oh, no, no, no. That's not it. Listen, far be it for me to lecture anybody. My life is a disaster. As a matter of fact, I feel if it gets any worse, I'm going to pop.
Liza: What happened?
Tad: What do you mean "what happened"? What else has happened? Leslie Coulson. Liza, the woman is torturing me, ok? She ambushes me every single place I turn. I mean, the other day, I go to pick up my father at the hospital for lunch? I find her in his office confiding in him.
Liza: What?
Tad: Yeah. And after Dixie surprised me with the boys in the city, she tried to buddy up to Jamie and Junior, acting like she was some long-lost personal family friend.
Liza: Oh, man.
Tad: I am frightened because at this point, it's only a matter of time before Dixie finds out what happened.
Liza: You know, I am your friend, but you have run out of options. You have got to get rid of Leslie Coulson, now.

Leo: Wonderful. Now, I tell you, Stavros, the cooking of coddled eggs is a lost art. Mmm. And what do we have here? Caviar. Let's see. Mmm. Lovely.
Stavros: May I say, Sir, that it's a pleasure to have someone onboard with such refined tastes.
Leo: What, Ryan doesn't go for the delicacies?
Stavros: Ah, Mr. Lavery has been preoccupied with his business. It leaves me without much to do.
Leo: Well, don't fret, Stavros. As long as I'm on deck, it's going to be all hands on deck. You know what I'm saying?
Stavros: Very good, Sir.
Leo: All right. First things first -- my clothes.
Stavros: I took the liberty of having them dry-cleaned. They're in the stateroom.
Leo: Good man. Next, my stomach. There's an outstanding gourmet shop down on Lancaster. I think they'll have just what we need.
Stavros: I saw the list you made last night. Everything has been delivered to the galley.
Leo: Excellent! Excellent. I guess all that we have left to discuss is the itinerary.
Stavros: Itinerary, Sir?
Leo: Yeah. I think it's time we take this baby out for a cruise. I was thinking maybe head south, down to the Florida Keys.

Ryan: No! No, no, no, no. Leo, please, don't stop there. I think you should just take this baby right out into the Bermuda Triangle.

["Black magic woman" plays]

Stuart: Good morning.
Man: Thanks for coming over. But I figured you'd want to check this out -- I mean, since you've been picking up the tab.
Stuart: When did she check in?
Man: Showed up real early this morning. Got the key from the night clerk. She's been in there for hours. She must be partying. The music's cranked.
Stuart: Yeah, that's pretty loud.
Man: No complaints so far.
Stuart: Ok, thanks.
Stuart: Arlene? Arlene? Stuart: Arlen
e? It's me, Stuart. Stuart: Arlene?

Singer: I've got a black magic woman got me so blind I can't see

[Hayley screams]

Stuart: Oh -- you scared me!
Hayley: I scared you?
Stuart: Uh-huh.
Hayley: I didn't hear you come in, and then all of a sudden, I see the doorknob turning. It brought back every slasher film I ever saw in my life.
Stuart: No wonder you can't hear me. Let me turn this down.

Singer: Yes don't turn your back on me, baby

[Stuart turns off music]

Stuart: What are you doing here?
Hayley: Uh -- oh. I don't know. I -- I haven't been sleeping very well lately and I thought that maybe if I came here and saw some of my mom's things, it would make me feel close to her.
Stuart: Did it help?
Hayley: A little bit. I can't believe that she left so much behind.
Stuart: Yeah, well -- yeah, we must have made her feel real bad to -- to jump up and leave so quickly. Oh, Honey, I'm -- oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to -- I didn't mean to upset you.
Hayley: No, you didn't. You didn't. I just -- you know, I look around this -- look around this room and I just think that -- I know that Arlene was a twisted person, but I think that she deserved a lot better than what she had.
Stuart: Well, of course she does.
Stuart: Hayley, Hayley.
Hayley: What are you doing here, Uncle Stuart?
Stuart: Oh, well, I came here to settle up with the manager because I'm -- well, I'm paying for this room so we can keep her stuff here until she comes back. Whenever that is.
Hayley: You can't do that.
Stuart: Oh, I don't mind.
Hayley: No, you don't understand. You can't do that. You don't understand, Uncle Stuart.
Stuart: What -- what don't I understand? Hayley, Hayley, what is it? You can tell me anything.

Leo: Easy, big fellow. We're just playing. He knows that. Isn't that right, Stavros? I mean, what good is having a yacht if you can't fantasize about taking it for a spin, right?

[Leo laughs]

Ryan: I don't know, Leo. Why don't you tell me? You look so at home here in my jacket, eating -- is this caviar? Did you order caviar for breakfast?
Leo: They're good. Try them.
Ryan: I hope you're a good swimmer, Leo, I really do because I'm like this close from throwing you overboard right now.
Leo: No, no, no, don't overreact. They're just fish eggs.
Ryan: Who do you think pays for that?
Leo: Adam Chandler?
Ryan: Naturally, you would assume that somebody else is picking up the tab.
Yes, Adam and I have a business agreement. He bought my company, he bought my yacht, but he does not cover my personal expenses.
Leo: Oh, bummer.
Ryan: So next time you decide to help yourself, maybe you could fly coach because I can't afford this!
Leo: I really don't think we should be discussing your personal finances in front of the crew. Carry on, Stavros.
Ryan: Yeah, will you please take all this back to the galley?
Stavros: Yes, sir.
Leo: Not the caviar.
Ryan: Leo! Leo!
Leo: I just started eating them! You can't throw them back in the jar now!
Stavros: What would you like me to do about your lunch plans, Sir? Ryan: You can forget about his lunch plans. Mr. du Pres will not be having lunch here, thank you.
Stavros: Yes, Sir.
Leo: Don't be too quick about taking that champagne off the ice, all right?

Ryan: What is the matter with you? I give you a place to bunk for the night and you decide to pamper yourself like Aristotle Onassis?
Leo: A guy's got to eat.
Ryan: Leo, wake up! All right? Please! I know you spent your whole life trying not to face facts, but this is how it is with me. I came dangerously close to bankruptcy. I'm on a tight budget. So your over indulgence really doesn't amuse me at all.
Leo: Oh, jeez. I'll repay you for the caviar. Ok, fine. Now that it's paid for, why don't you try some? It's really good.
Ryan: I don't want to try some.
Leo: No, no, it's good. They're like roly-poly fish eggs.
Ryan: No, Leo, I don't want to try some.
Leo: No, just try --
Ryan: Please, it's expensive. Stop!
Adam: This is your idea of austerity? Scarfing down caviar with both hands? No wonder your company went under.

Dixie: Something's going on between Tad and Leslie.
Gillian: Dixie, don't do this to yourself. Don't start doubting your husband.
Dixie: This is not in my head. There was lipstick on his collar -- Leslie's lipstick.
Gillian: Did you ask him about it?
Dixie: Yeah. He said that it was a kiss that she gave him at a new year's party.

[Gillian sighs]

Gillian: Look, Tad loves you. And you can really trust him. I'm just not so sure about Leslie.
Dixie: What do you mean by that?
Gillian: Well, from what I've heard, she would go after anything with pants on and a big wallet.
Dixie: I hope that's not supposed to make me feel better.
Gillian: Well, just don't assume the worst. Ok? Let me go talk to Leslie.
Dixie: No, no, no.
Gillian: Yes, yes, yes! I'll be very subtle. She won't even know that I'm pumping her, and it'll ease your mind.
Dixie: Maybe you should.
Gillian: Absolutely. And besides, what you're telling me here, it's just very -- pretty sketchy.
Gillian: Dixie? Is there something you're not telling me?
Dixie: No, it's nothing, really, really.
Gillian: I'm just trying to help you here.
Dixie: David said something.
Gillian: Oh! Like David would ever say something helpful.
Dixie: He said -- he asked me if Tad deserved my loyalty.
Gillian: Oh, so now he's implying that your husband's being unfaithful.
Dixie: I think he knows something.
Gillian: No. All he knows is that you have this threat of doubt in your mind. Come on. Don't let him do this to you.
Dixie: Let me tell you, you know, if Tad is having an affair with Leslie, nothing David says is going to make it any worse.
Gillian: You and Tad have something precious. And there's nothing going on with Tad and Leslie, and I'm going to prove it to you. And whatever you do, don't let David Hayward destroy your life.

[Dixie sighs]

David: What are you trying to pull?
Jake: Don't you ever put your hands on me again. Do you understand?
David: Oh, yeah, that's right -- the Martins can orchestrate any outrageous scheme they want, but they're untouchable. Is that it?
Jake: All right, Hayward. So what's rocked your massive ego today?
David: There is a team of bean counters tearing my office apart, that's what. And some big lummox of a security guard won't even allow me in my reception area. What the hell is going on?
Jake: Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it? You're being audited.
David: Your father's having me audited?
Jake: You and the foundation, yes.
David: Why?
Jake: Because the believes that you're the one who's responsible for drugging all of the guests at the incredibledreams.com's party. That's why.
David: Me?
Jake: Yeah, you, Hayward. You had the motive and you're the one who knew about Libidozone. Did you just think this was going to blow over? Let me tell you something -- those auditors are going to scrutinize every single piece of paper in that office, and they're going to keep at it until they find proof that you're guilty.

Tad: What exactly do you mean "get rid of Leslie Coulson"? Who are you, one of the Sopranos? I come to you for advice, you tell me to whack somebody? What is that?
Liza: Oh --
Tad: I'm serious here. This isn't a joke. I'm ready to jump out a window. I mean, don't get me wrong. As much as I'd loved to stuff her in a trunk and drive out to darkest Jersey, there's got to be some other way.
Liza: Well, you know, you really are on the edge. The only reason I suggested anything is just to see how frantic you are.
Tad: Well, are you finished? Because I really need your help here. I have no idea what I'm going to do next.

[Liza sighs]

Liza: Listen, Leslie is very ambitious. So what you need to do is you need to come up with some sort of plum position, with incentives, that would take her to another continent. She goes, your problems are over.
Tad: Shades of Adam Chandler. That's not bad. The only problem is it can't come from me. She'd see right through it. I mean, she already knows I don't even want her on our payroll.
Liza: Why don't you let me take care of it?

David: When are you going to get over this stupid crusade of yours? You don't have one shred of evidence linking me to that Libidozone scandal on that yacht.
Jake: Not yet there isn't.
David: This is an unconscionable waste of hospital resources and I guarantee you, Jake, I'm going to make sure that the hospital board hears about it.
Jake: You know what? I've had enough of your threats, Hayward. You make all the complaints you want. You just have at it. I got work to do.

[Tape plays]

David's voice: The initial dose -- David: Memo to board -- David's voice: Appears to have had no effect. David: At approximately 11:20, I was barred from -- David's voice: I am about to double the dosage. At 9:05 P.M., Subject ingests another 30 cc's of Libidozone. [Tape stops]


David: Can't leave this around.
Dixie: What are you doing, David?

Gillian: Leslie? Hey. Your office said I could find you here.
Leslie: Gillian. What can I do for you?
Gillian: I just wanted to talk to you about, um, my divorce papers, to Jake. Has he signed them?
Leslie: Yes, he has. I still need to file them, though. I'm sorry. I've just been very busy.
Gillian: Oh, that's fine. Busy's good, right? How -- how is he? How'd he take it?
Leslie: Well, I'm sure he'll be ok with time.
Gillian: Yeah. I hope so. Is it always that hard when a marriage breaks up?
Leslie: Yeah. But it can be worth it.
Gillian: What do you mean? Are you talking as a lawyer?
Leslie: And as a woman. I mean, you're happy now, right? I mean, you're back with Ryan and --
Gillian: Yeah. Yeah, I'm very happy. I'm -- I'm relieved. I hated having to hide my feelings and -- and having to sneak around. I hated that.
Leslie: I understand.
Gillian: You do?
Leslie: Absolutely. You see, I'm involved with a married man.
Gillian: You are?
Leslie: And I hope he does just what you did.
Gillian: What do you mean?
Leslie: Well you left your husband for the man that you really love.
Gillian: Yeah. But that's different, Leslie. Ryan was my first husband.

[Telephone rings]

Leslie: Excuse me.

Leslie: Hello?
Tad: Hi, Leslie. It's Tad.
Leslie: Hi. I was hoping you'd call.
Tad: Yeah. Um -- listen, I -- I need to see you right away.
Leslie: Really? It sounds promising. Where are you?
Tad: The Valley Inn bar.
Leslie: All right. Order me a diet soda and I'll be there before the ice melts.

Leslie: That was my man. I have to go freshen up. Listen, don't worry. I will have your divorce papers filed by this weekend.

Gillian: Oh, Dixie. Maybe you're not imagining things after all.

Stuart: Your mom put you through some pretty funny exercises during her lifetime. And now -- now, you -- you're a little bit sad that she's gone. You miss her a little bit.
Hayley: My mother has always driven me crazy.
Stuart: Oh, I know.
Hayley: So I guess why should now be any different, right?
Stuart: Yeah, well, she was not an easy person to love, but -- but she wasn't all bad. She took me to the hospital to see Adam. She saved his life. She didn't have to do that.
Hayley: You always see the good in everybody, Uncle Stuart.
Stuart: There is good in everybody. I'll tell you what -- you know what? Let's try to get her on the phone. If you've had a little chat with her, it'll make you feel a lot better.
Hayley: No, no, no. Don't bother.
Stuart: No, it's all right.
Hayley: Really, don't bother.
Stuart: It's ok. It'll be easy. I'll show you.
Hayley: Uncle Stuart, no, please. Nobody can reach Arlene ever again!
Stuart: What do you mean?
Hayley: Don't pay any attention to me today. My mind is just out of order.
Stuart: But you said no one could ever reach Arlene again.
Hayley: I just meant that nobody can get through to Arlene, you know?
Stuart: Yeah.
Hayley: No matter how hard you try. I mean, I know I've spent -- I've spent my whole life trying. I can't get through to her.
Stuart: I always wondered why she took off like that. You know, I don't really buy this Amsterdam stuff.
Hayley: You don't?
Stuart: Uh-uh. I think -- I think Arlene is a lot closer than anyone thinks.

Adam: You don't seem to realize you're in desperate financial straits, Ryan.
Ryan: I'm aware of the situation, Adam.
Adam: Oh, really? Well, do you know what I was doing this morning while you were scarfing down the caviar?
Ryan: I have a feeling you're going to tell me.
Adam: I was leasing your former office space.
Ryan: What about the staff? Where are they going to work?
Adam: No, no, not to worry. Fired the whole worthless bunch. Sent them packing.
Ryan: You what? You have no right to do that without --
Adam: I had every right. I own incredibledreams, remember? For whatever it's worth.
Ryan: The deal was that I was going to run it.
Adam: And you are going to run it in an excessively scaled-back version, without all that expensive overhead.
Ryan: Adam, I can't run a business without employees, without an office.
Adam: Obviously you can't run a business with an army of employees, 1,600 square feet of prime commercial real estate, and an unlimited budget! You were the mayor of fat city, buddy, and you blew it, so now you're going to have to work hard for it, the hard way.
Ryan: And what if I refuse?
Adam: You don't have that luxury. Right now you work your company pays back my sizeable investment -- with interest, of course.
Ryan: So where is this lean, mean enterprise going to operate?
Adam: Huh, you're looking it.
Ryan: What? There's no way!
Adam: Think of all the time you'll save commuting.
Ryan: Adam, I sold my loft. This -- this is my home. This is where I live, with Gillian.
Adam: Yes, thanks to my generosity. That's true, yes. But as of now, as of this morning, it's going to be where you work. The computers and all the office equipment are on their way over even as we speak.
Ryan: Maybe you don't understand. This boat is not wired for all that telecommunication hardware.
Adam: Well, then that'll be your first order of business, won't it? So I suggest you get rid of the delicacies and roll up your sleeves.
Ryan: And where are you going to be?
Adam: As much as I would love to be here with you, Liza and I are being married today.
Ryan: Well, that's just a little ironic, isn't it?
Adam: Why is that?
Ryan: Reuniting you and Liza was the last incredible dream that I made come true before the company went crashing down. I just really wish it went to somebody more deserving.
Adam: Well, as I said to you, Ryan, I always get what I want. If we got what we deserve, we'd all be lying in a pauper's grave. Be sure to save your receipts.

Leo: Whoa. You know, you were perfectly justified in doing that. I don't blame you one bit for being angry.
Ryan: Shut up, Leo! I am going to do whatever I have to do to get out from underneath that man's thumb. I want you to understand that.
Leo: That might not be as hard as you think. I can help.

David: This stupid tape got jammed. I was just getting a little frustrated. It's all right, I'll toss it out later. What are you doing in the ER?
Dixie: Actually, I came here to see you. I wanted to ask you about something that you said last night. You said that Tad didn't deserve my loyalty. Would you please explain to me what you meant by that, specifically?
David: Dixie, I never should have said anything.
Dixie: Yeah, but you did, so I'd like you to tell me why, please.
David: It was nothing, all right? It -- I was out of line. Just don't even act like it even happened.
Dixie: David, if you care about me in the slightest, you're going to tell me the truth. You saw Tad with Leslie. Did he kiss her?

Hayley: What do you mean, she's not that far off?
Stuart: I mean she's here in spirit.
Hayley: You mean because all of her junk is here?
Stuart: No, no, no, I mean, because you're here. I think the best of Arlene is alive in you.
Hayley: Oh! I thought that you meant that she was physically nearby.
Stuart: Well, I don't know -- I don't know how long -- when she's going to come back to Pine Valley or not, but I don't think she can stay away for long. Because you're here. You will draw her back.
Hayley: Uh, she'd probably -- probably be afraid of being caught by the police.
Stuart: Oh, well, I don't know whether she took Vanessa's necklace or not. Who cares? All I know is wherever she is, I'm going to say a prayer that she finds some happiness.
Hayley: You really are a saint, Uncle Stuart.
Stuart: Oh -- pooh. But I meant what I said about the best of Arlene is alive in you, Sweetheart. And I think when she comes back, I would hope that she comes back to make amends and to show people that she really can do the right thing.
Hayley: Thank you. Thank you very much, Uncle Stuart, because I've been very hurt and upset over Arlene and you've really -- you've helped me to understand a lot.
Stuart: I hope you feel better.
Hayley: Yeah. I do. What are we going to do with this? Like, leave it here like a spooky shrine or --
Stuart: Well, it's not like a memorial or anything weird. We'll just leave it here till she comes back, that's all.
Hayley: Oh. Yes. You really are the kindest person I've ever known.
Stuart: Oh -- well, I'll keep paying the rent. That's the least I can do for Arlene. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have Adam in my life.
Hayley: Thank you so much. I don't believe it.
Stuart: What?
Hayley: I -- I don't believe it. She still had it.
Stuart: What is it?
Hayley: It's a -- it's a Tibetan bell. It's my fourth grade Christmas present that I gave to my mother. The -- hear the chimes?
Stuart: Uh-huh.
Hayley: They're supposed to be calming. My mother wore it all the time and then one day she just stopped wearing it. I always assumed that she lost it on a bender or something, but she still had it.

David: I am not interfering in your marriage anymore. You've made it very clear that it's too important to you.
Dixie: You owe me. You know something. You should tell me!
David: Dixie. Come on, Dixie. You know how I feel. You know that I want you in my life, but you're not free to come to me.
Dixie: And you know why.
David: Yes. Because you're married. And I'm trying really hard to honor that even though I still want us to be together. Now, if that happens, it's not going to be because I shattered your marriage. That's all I have to say about it.

Tad: Ah, Leslie, thank you so much for coming.
Leslie: Oh, so you're glad to see me?
Tad: Yeah.
Leslie: Well, excuse me for being a little suspicious. You see, last night, a guy who looks just like you, he threw me on the ground.
Tad: Yeah, I know. I'm very sorry about that.
Leslie: You ripped my dress. You know, I'm not used to being treated like that, Tad. I will not be treated like that.
Tad: You're right. You know, you're absolutely right. There was no excuse for that. All I can say in my defense is that maybe I drank a little too much and when you grabbed me I -- I just panicked, you know? And I suppose that brought out the nasty side of me or something.
Leslie: Do you even remember what you said? You screamed at me. You told me if I ever came near you again, you would have me arrested for harassment.
Tad: Leslie, I'm sorry, ok? I called you to apologize. Like I said, you're right, you know? No matter what happens between you and me, I had no right to lay my hands on you or anybody else in anger. I'm deeply ashamed by my behavior and I give you my word it's never going to happen again.
Leslie: It better not.
Tad: If we're past that, there's -- that's not the only reason I called you. I wanted to ask you a question.
Leslie: Go ahead.
Tad: Last night, in the middle of the night, my phone rang. Was that you?
Leslie: Me? No.
Tad: You're sure?
Leslie: Yes, I'm sure. After the harsh way that you treated me last night, I pretty much wrote you off, Tad. Why would I call you?
Tad: Well, I just -- I don't know who else it might be.
Leslie: Maybe it was one of your other girlfriends. I was fast asleep at that hour.

Liza: Tad. Hi. Hi.
Tad: Hi, Liza.
Liza: Leslie.
Leslie: Liza.
Liza: This is Daryl Cummings. He's the recruiter from Obel Holdings. They own and run entertainment and industrial concerns in Asia.
Tad: Absolutely. It's an honor to meet you. Liza's told me some really great things about you.
Daryl: Likewise.
Liza: I just think that we might be interested in a joint venture between Obel and Chandler Enterprises.
Tad: Sure.
Liza: I'm sorry. This is Leslie Coulson. She is a very bright and articulate attorney here in Pine Valley.
Daryl: Leslie Coulson. This is an entire coincidence. As Liza said, I'm a corporate headhunter, and you, Ms. Coulson, are on the short list of people I was hoping to meet here in Pine Valley.
Leslie: Oh, how flattering.
Daryl: Listen, do you think you might be interested in creating a more international profile? I mean, if I could have a few minutes of your time --
Leslie: You mean, right now?
Daryl: Well --
Leslie: I'm in the middle of a discussion with Tad.
Tad: No, no, don't be silly. I mean, are you kidding? You go ahead. We'll wrap it up later.
Leslie: All right. Where did you say that you were located?
Daryl: The headquarters are in Singapore. Have you ever been there?
Leslie: No, I haven't.
Daryl: Oh, you'd love it. Listen, would you like to have a drink?
Leslie: No, thank you.
Daryl: Whiskey sour.

Stuart: I'm glad you found that -- that -- what'd you call it?
Hayley: Tibetan bell.
Stuart: Tibetan bell. You see, that proves Arlene's heart's in the right place.
Hayley: It's amazing.
Stuart: Yeah. Come on. Hey, we got to go. Hayley? Hey, it's the big day. It's -- Liza and Adam are getting married today.
Hayley: Yeah, right. I -- I drove here, so I'll just -- I'll meet you there.
Stuart: Well, can't we leave together?
Hayley: I will. I just -- I'll -- I'll be there soon.
Stuart: Ok. Ok.

Ryan: I guess my troubles are over now that the financial wizard, Mr. Leo du Pres, has offered his assistance. Please, what shall we do first, Chief?
Leo: Oh, I don't know. Can the sarcasm? I really could be just what you need.
Ryan: Really? What, you got a couple million dollars stashed away that I don't know about?
Leo: No, but I could help you get it.
Ryan: Planning to extort from your mother?
Leo: Ok. I'm just going to forget about all these little nasty remarks because I know how super stressed you are today. This is not the time to buckle, Ryan -- unless, of course, you want to be under Adam Chandler's whip for the next 20 years. You got to be bold, man. You got to -- you got to think big.
Ryan: That's exactly how I got into the -- this mess in the first place.
Leo: Well, why stop now?
Ryan: I don't have the energy for this right now, all right?
Leo: No, no, no, wait, just indulge me for just a moment. What is it exactly that you need to accomplish?
Ryan: Make my company solvent again as soon as possible.
Leo: And what do you need to produce that result?
Ryan: Massive infusions of cash!
Leo: That's very good. Very good. Now, who do you need to help you with that? Bearing in mind that bankers and Wall Street aren't going to come anywhere near you. Rich people, that's who. And what am I good at?
Ryan: I have no idea.
Leo: Charming rich people. Making the necessary introductions. All I need is a place to stay.
Ryan: Now I get it. You just want to freeload.
Leo: Oh, come on, man. In the last few days I lost my job at Enchantment, I lost my loft, I lost my girlfriend.
Ryan: That's a very impressive resume. Now I really, really want to hire you.
Leo: Look at me. I am oozing charm and charisma and it is going to waste, my friend. And you've got all of these extra staterooms.
Ryan: Which are going to be filled with computers in, like, two hours.
Leo: Yeah, and who's going to operate them? You need somebody to boss around, right? And I'm an excellent yes man. Just ask Vanessa Cortlandt and Erica Kane and Bianca Montgomery and Greenlee Smythe. My God, the list goes on. What do you say? Come on. Come on.
Ryan: I got to be out of my mind, but fine, you can stay -- for now.
Leo: That is an excellent executive decision, my friend, and you will not regret this.
Ryan: I better not regret this.
Leo: Absolutely not.
Ryan: And no more room service!
Leo: Oh -- oh. Ok. You know, you strike a hard bargain, Lavery. Deal.
Ryan: And take off my jacket!

Jake: We need this room to examine a patient.
David: Well, where do you expect me to go? You locked me out of my office.
Jake: I really don't care, Doctor. Just clear out of here.
David: All right, fine. Let me clean up after myself.

Dixie: Oh -- Gillian, did you talk to Leslie?
Gillian: Mm-hmm.
Dixie: She's having an affair with Tad, isn't she?
Gillian: She admitted that she was involved with a married man, but we don't know if it's Tad, Dixie. I was trying to find out his name when her phone rang. It was her lover, and she ran off to meet him.
Dixie: So she's with this guy right now?
Gillian: Yeah, I guess so. But, listen, let's not assume the worst. There are a lot of married men in this town who might have an affair with Leslie. But Tad's not one of them.
Dixie: Well, he said that he had to work at lunch, you know, he was ordering in.
Gillian: You see? Then Tad's not with Leslie.
Dixie: There's one way to find out.

Dixie: Hi, it's Dixie. Is Tad there, please? Oh, I'm sorry. No -- no message, thank you.

Dixie: He's not there.
Gillian: Dixie, this doesn't prove anything. Something may have come up.

Tad: What is taking them so long?
Liza: Would you relax? This guy is good.

Leslie: Tad, I will call you later.
Tad: Ok.
Daryl: Well, she went for it. Ms. Coulson will be flying off to Singapore in a matter of days.
Tad: Excellent. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Liza: Thank you so much, Daryl.
Daryl: You're entirely welcome.

Tad: I am on my knees. On my knees.
Liza: Well, I think it seems like she's going to be out of town in no time.
Tad: Yeah, let's just hope she stays there. Speaking of which you're getting married. Are you sure you don't want me to book you on a flight out to Singapore?
Liza: Don't you dare.

Leslie: Excuse me. Mr. Martin has complained about the mattress in our room. He says it's too soft. Could you send us a firmer one?
Clerk: Of course. Right away, Ma'am.
Leslie: Great. Would you put that on Mr. Martin's credit card?
Clerk: May I ask how long you plan to stay with us?
Leslie: Oh, well, I can't really answer that. You know, neither one of us is going to go anyplace right away, but, you know, we are going to start house hunting very soon.

Liza: I should really get going.
Tad: Yeah, I understand. Thanks for your help.
