Vanessa: [As Proteus]
not tonight.
Mateo: No, no, no,
you said 7:00.
You said 7:00.
I've been waiting here.
Ryan: Let's see what you're
hiding, Stamp.
Rudolph: If and when Erica
Kane ever comes back where
she belongs, I'll consider
a continued relationship
with her, but I don't do
business with irresponsible
children.
Chris: I want Bianca
Montgomery to testify.
TODAY'S - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Ryan: My birthday.
Ryan: All right.
What is it Stamp wants?
At?
What else do you want to know
about me?
You, Chandler --
what am I, your research
project?
Anna: In my agency, we call
this sloppy work.
And Stamp would know it was
you in an instant.
Jake: Well, his log says
the file was mailed last
Tuesday.
I'm aware that that's already
late, Dr. Peterson.
Listen --
Dr. Hayward's research was
delayed, all right?
You have a tracking number?
Ok.
Oh, it's a standard OP?
Well, is it standard OP
for an ER doctor on duty have
to handle your red tape?
Well, just hang on a minute.
Hang on.
Just hang on.
David: What the hell do
you think you're doing?
Jake: Your job.
[Mateo hugs Simone]
Mateo: Listen --
you know this is an act, right?
And we've got to keep it up
no matter who's watching.
All right?
Leo: Greenlee,
let me go to Erica.
This whole thing is my fault,
and I should be the one
to tell her.
Greenlee: No.
No.
No, she hates excuses, and it
won't change anything.
Leo: Well, what's she going
to do when she finds out what
really happened to the Lacey's
account?
Greenlee: Fire me.
Greenlee: She makes it look
so easy, Leo.
I mean, she comes in here,
she kicks butt, and she looks
like a million bucks doing it.
Then she makes a million bucks
doing it and she makes it look
like anyone can do it.
Anyone can't.
[Kendall barges into Erica's office]
Kendall: Who the hell
are you?
Yeah, you.
Greenlee: How about you go
first?
Leo: Well, maybe I can help.
Greenlee, this is Kendall Hart,
Erica's daughter.
Jack: Your honor,
the commonwealth has been
patient beyond reason in this
matter.
And if defense counsel actually
believes that he can call a new
witness after he has rested,
after the jury has deliberated
and reached a verdict --
Chris: Maybe the prosecution
should check their fact book
first next time, your honor.
There are over seven precedents
from the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania alone where
additional testimony has been
allowed after final summation
has been made.
Jack: And if counsel is
referring to Cermak vs. Malone,
that additional testimony was
excluded --
Chris: That testimony was
reversed, Mr. Prosecutor,
and a new trial was held.
But something tells me
you already knew that.
Jack: Oh, I already knew
that.
I also know that a new trial was
granted only after new
evidence --
Chris: The defense has new
evidence.
Your honor,
we have evidence of what really
happened on the night
Mary Frances Stone died and was
murdered by --
Erica: No, don't!
[Gallery murmurs]
Chris: Erica --
Erica: Chris, for God's
sakes, please, don't do this.
Chris: So it's true.
Erica: You son of a --
Chris: I underestimated you,
but you did the same thing
with m Erica.
I'm nobody's fool.
Do you understand?
Erica: I'll never forgive
you for this.
Chris: I don't give a damn.
Chris: Your honor,
your indulgence for
an explanation?
Judge: Mr. Stamp,
explain quickly.
Chris: When the defense has
new evidence after summation,
it must be heard.
Not only because excluding this
information would fall under
reversible error --
Jack: What the hell does
he think he has?
Chris: But also would cost
the state a lot of money
and another trial.
On top of which, your honor,
it would just be wrong.
Unlike the prosecution, I am not
here to railroad anyone.
I am here to get to the bottom
line -- the truth.
The truth no matter what it is.
And, your honor, that young
woman can lead us to the truth.
Judge: Ok.
I'll allow this.
Jack: Your honor,
the commonwealth would like
to go on record as encouraging
this court to hear any new
evidence that would serve
justice.
However, we strenuously object
to the sensationalistic way
in which it's been presented.
Judge: Duly noted.
Would you rebrief and bring
in the jury?
Opal: Now, you just hold
tight, Honey.
Bianca: Opal, Chris is wrong.
I -- I don't know what happened.
Opal well, then that's just
what you say when you get up
there.
Erica: You're just winging
this, aren't you?
Bianca doesn't remember
anything.
Nothing's changed.
So what is your plan?
You plan to force this out
of her, Chris?
Is that what you plan to do?
What if there's nothing to get,
Chris?
Chris: Bianca knows
the truth, and I know how to get
it out of her, Erica.
That's my job.
Erica: No.
That is nothing but your stupid,
arrogant male pride talking.
That's all that is.
You just can't stand not
winning. Is that right?
So what are you going to do?
You're going to destroy
my daughter in front
of everybody in this courtroom?
And why?
Can you tell me why?
I hate you for this.
Chris: I'll live with it.
Chris: Your honor, the defense calls
Bianca Montgomery.
Kendall: What a surprise.
There are even more pictures
of the CEO than there were
before.
Greenlee: Funny, I don't
remember asking you to come in.
Kendall: Always an experience
driving up to this place.
Reminds me of the mansion
at the end of "Citizen Kane."
That's a movie.
Greenlee: Gee, is it really?
Kendall: Yes, and in it,
Charles Foster Kane is shown
controlling people's minds --
how they thought,
what they should think.
You know, like how Erica tries
to control how people should
look and dress.
Obviously, she's already gotten
to you.
Leo: Can I help you
with something, Kendall?
Kendall: Just like
"Citizen Kane," this house
of Kane is all about greed.
And not just the green kind.
Power, control, authority --
all bundled up in that little
package.
Greenlee: How many years have
you been rehearsing that
out-of-tune little aria, hmm?
In case you're wondering,
I'm here working.
Kendall: Working?
Greenlee: So you
and your deep thoughts about
your mother's meaningless
existence might want to find
somewhere else to play.
Kendall: Well, from what
little birdies are telling
me, you might want to rush right
over to the unemployment office
and fill out your forms.
Greenlee: Oh, so you can
sit in?
I think not.
Enchantment is --
Kendall: Enchantment will be
gone by the end of the month.
Greenlee: What?
Kendall: Finger on the pulse,
huh?
This place is dead, Honey.
D-e-a-d, dead.
Ryan: The door was locked.
Anna: Oh.
Spy school 101.
Ryan: Oh, yeah.
Aren't you clever.
You know what?
I really don't give a damn
if Stamp finds out that I was
going through his things,
all right, 007?
Anna: Since I'm here,
why don't you tell me what it is
you're looking for?
Ryan: How about a little
peace?
Anna: I don't follow.
Ryan: No, of course
you don't.
Of course you don't because you,
Stamp, Adam Chandler -- you all
think that you got this claim
on my life.
And you know what?
You don't.
Anna: So why don't you tell
someone, like me?
Maybe I could --
Ryan: You could what?
You could, like, help me?
All right, actually, you know
how you can help me,
if you don't mind, is leaving,
getting out of here.
Because I need to find out why
Stamp is poking around
in my life, why he keeps
acting --
I don't really need to explain
anything to you.
I really don't.
I don't.
I don't.
So you know what?
You, Stamp -- you guys can do
your little dance and figure out
who's the better undercover
agent, all right?
Just leave me out of it.
Anna: I was married
to your mother's cousin.
Anna: If there's anything
you want to know about
your mother from me --
Mateo: See you later.
Vanessa: Hello, Dear.
Mateo: Vanessa.
Sorry about that.
What can I get you?
Vanessa: A job.
Mateo: Vanessa, a job --
see --
Vanessa: Well, you don't
understand.
Mateo: No, I think I do
understand.
You're going through something.
A little bit of a crisis.
You want to keep busy,
you're looking for something
to do.
But, Vanessa, come on,
you're married to one
of the richest guys I know.
I mean, can you really see
yourself serving drinks
or waiting tables?
Vanessa: Oh.
Let me clear something up
for you right away, Mateo.
My marriage to Palmer Cortlandt
is over.
Mateo: Really?
Vanessa: He kicked me out.
So I need a job to pay
my own way.
Mateo: I'm sorry about that.
I didn't --
Vanessa: No, it's all right.
I mean, you've had your own
heartbreak about a marriage
gone bad.
Really, I -- it's just that,
Mateo, I really am very hard
worker.
I don't have experience
at certain things, I know,
but at one time I was a very
important studio actress,
and we worked extremely hard
for very little pay, and it
wasn't for the faint-hearted,
let me tell you.
Mateo: Vanessa --
Vanessa: Oh.
Actually, Mateo, I -- I don't
want to actually wait tables.
Mateo: You thinking about
tending bar?
Vanessa: Well, no.
I'm afraid I'm not that good
a listener, but --
Mateo: Well, then what is it
you want to do?
Vanessa: I want to sing.
Mateo: You want to sing?
Vanessa: Yes, entertain.
Mateo: Here?
Vanessa: Well, I understand
you have live music night
occasionally.
Mateo: Yeah, we've had some
bands.
Vanessa: Well, I am
a chanteuse at heart, Mateo.
I can be your regular nightly
act.
Mateo: Really?
Vanessa: Well, I know some
women would bolt after being
so unceremoniously dumped
by their husbands, but not me.
I will rise like a Phoenix.
Mateo: I -- I don't know what
to say.
Vanessa: I know, I know.
Actually, I do.
I understand your position.
I really do.
Mateo: Well, I'm glad
because --
Vanessa: But here's
the thing -- if it doesn't work
out after a week, I'll move on.
You have my word about that.
Oh, Mateo, I don't know what it
is, this feeling, but
for the longest time I've felt
that you and I would eventually
end up working side by side.
David: Look, I don't care
if they're screaming
for my requisitions.
Stay the hell out of my files,
Jake!
Jake: Dr. Peterson, I have
to get back to you.
If you had any idea how much
follow-up I have to do to cover
your lazy behind, Hayward --
David: Lazy?
Have you seen my surgery
schedule for the next week,
Jake?
Jake: You bet I have,
and you have other
responsibilities in this
hospital.
You know, I've been covering
for you for the last two months
with the people from
the Warneford Commission.
David: Oh, yeah?
Well, what do you want, Jake?
What, do you want flowers?
Is that it?
Jake: No, I want you to do
what you're supposed to do
and stop pawning off your dirty
work on other people like me.
All right?
I have my own schedule in this
hospital.
David: Oh, oh, you have
a schedule?
You see, I wouldn't know that
because I'm busy saving lives,
Jake, not worrying about
bureaucratic forms in
triplicate!
Jake: And since when am
I the one who's supposed
to worry about it for you?
David: Look, you wanted
to join this project, right?
Didn't you?
Jake: Not as your personal
assistant, I didn't.
I have work to do in the ER.
David: Good. Go.
[Dr. Joe walks in]
Jake: Dad, listen,
I'm just --
Joe: I know, I know.
You got to get back to the ER.
I heard.
So did everyone on the corridor.
It's always so very nice when
patients hear doctors screaming
at each other.
David: You're right, Joe.
It's over, ok?
So you can save your deportment
speech for another day.
Joe: All right, David,
I will.
I'll get to the point.
David: Ok, and what
the point?
Joe: I'm here for my $50,000.
Anna: I was married to Duke
Lavery.
His cousin was Gail,
your mother, right?
I don't think that they were
close at all, but they did stay
in touch with cards and some
letters, I think.
Did she ever mention him
to you when you were growing up?
Ryan: You really are a piece
of work.
Anna: I'm not lying.
Ryan: Do you want me to,
like, help you with Stamp
in some way in your
investigation, whatever
the hell -- is that what it is?
I mean, first, you used
my father, and that didn't
really pan out, so you bring up
my mother?
My God!
Anna, what -- I know everything
I need to know about my parents,
thank you very much.
Anna: Look at you.
All you want to do is beat up
on someone all the time.
You hate me.
You hate Stamp.
Adam Chandler.
We're all burdens, we're all
corrupt, and you pay the price.
Have I got that right?
Ryan: This is really
interesting.
First you poke around about
my family, and then all
of a sudden you give me,
like, this dime store
psychoanalysis for free.
Anna: It's not hard.
Ryan: Oh, no?
Why's that?
Anna: You're not very
complex.
Ryan: Oh.
Anna: You're a
black-and-white kind of guy.
Just like your cousin, Duke.
Leo: Mateo, what -- what
the hell are you talking about?
Mateo: Just -- just come down
to SOS, please.
Leo: I'm sort of
in the middle of something here.
I'm sorry.
Mateo: Leo, your mother's
here, ok?
Again.
And she's not my damn problem.
Leo: Yeah, well, she's not
mine, either.
Mateo: Get down here.
Leo: Oh, easy, Greenlee,
easy.
Greenlee: You know,
sorry to burst your vindictive
little bubble, sweetheart,
but Enchantment is running like
a well-oiled machine.
And it'll keep running like that
whether Erica comes back or not.
Kendall: Listen to me.
I know you lost Lacey's.
I know three other tie-ins are
also on the line.
Greenlee: You have no clue
about what I've done --
Kendall: I know that you've
been throwing your weight around
here, trying to be like Erica
for the last couple of months,
all to disastrous effect.
Greenlee: You have no idea
what I've done here.
Kendall: Look.
Here's a time saver --
Erica loves her lackeys
to grovel and run.
Promoting someone for doing
a good job is not her style.
Ask Val.
Do you know how long that poor
thing has been getting
her coffee?
Greenlee: Oh, my goodness.
Do you not like your mommy?
Do you have issues?
Kendall: This place is all
about Erica,
like it or not.
Without her, it's over,
and she's not coming back.
Leo: Kendall, you don't know
what the jury's going to decide.
None of us do.
Kendall: Are you kidding?
Right about now, the jury
foreman is saying, "guilty."
Poof -- no more Erica.
No more Citizen Kane.
Hello, inmate number 45672.
Chris: You've been having
headaches.
Am I right?
Jack: Objection, your honor.
What does this have to do
with the new evidence?
Chris: Confusing episodes
preceded by blinding headaches.
Am I right?
Jack: Your honor, a ruling?
Judge: I will allow this.
Bianca: Yes.
Chris: During these episodes,
you feel that you're about
to remember something that
you up until now have been
unable to recall about the night
Mary Frances Stone died.
Am I right?
Jack: Objection, your honor.
What does this have to do
with new evidence?
I move that this testimony be
stricken.
Judge: Mr. Stamp,
the DA's right.
I mean, is there any new
evidence in this?
Chris: This is a forensics
photo of the crime scene.
Jack: Oh, now, wait --
Chris: Has anyone showed this
to you before?
Jack: Objection!
Certainly no one has shown it
to the state!
Judge: Sustained!
[Judge pounds gavel]
Chris: Bianca, look at this,
please.
Is it bringing back any memory
of that night?
[Gallery murmurs]
[Judge pounds gavel]
[Gallery murmurs]
Erica: Chris, stop it!
Can't you see she's scared?
Jack: Objection, your honor!
This is the most contemptful
kind of grandstanding!
[Judge pounds gavel]
Judge: Mr. Stamp, I order
you to --
Chris: What is it that's
on her shirt?
Jack: Stamp, for the love
of God, leave her alone!
Chris: Look at this.
Tell me what it is.
Bianca: A butterfly.
Erica: No, Bianca, you do not
have to do this!
You don't have to look at that
picture, Honey!
Judge: Mr. Stamp, I will hold
you in contempt of court --
Bianca: I have to look at it.
I do.
Frankie is wearing a T-shirt
with a butterfly on it,
and I never saw her wear that
shirt.
I don't recognize it.
But I -- I've seen it.
Haven't I?
Chris: This morning when
you were visiting your mother
in jail, you thought you were
about to remember something,
didn't you?
Bianca: Yes.
Chris: What?
Bianca: I saw Opal
and she had a jacket
on and a butterfly pin.
Jack: Objection, your honor.
What is this possibly doing
for anyone?
Judge: Mr. Stamp,
this is your last chance --
Chris: Bianca, look at it
and put it all together.
Bianca: The first time I had
one of these headaches, I had
run into Opal at B.J.'S,
and she was wearing the pin.
I -- I remember her friend had
just given it to her.
Chris: Look at this.
What does that butterfly mean
to you?
What does it mean?
Bianca: It means I must have
gone back to Frankie's room
the night she was killed
and I must have seen her in this
shirt with the butterfly on it.
Jack: Objection, your honor!
It calls for the witness to make
a conclusion she cannot possibly
make, and it's the best example
of leading the witness if I've
ever seen!
Bianca: No -- no!
I was there.
I was there.
I remember it now.
I went -- I went back
to Frankie's room
to tell her that I hated her.
David: All right,
Joe, I'll bite.
What?
What 50 grand?
Joe: Your research budget
overrun, David.
You said you would handle it,
but you have not.
David: Just roll it over
into the next year's budget,
Joe.
Joe: Even if I were inclined
to do that, David -- which I'm
not -- how would I run
the figures when I don't know
how you spent the money?
And in this hospital,
a $50,000 expenditure cannot be
labeled miscellaneous.
David: Fine, fine.
Look, you know, it's amazing
between you and your son that
anything in this hospital gets
do other than paperwork.
You want the cash?
I will write a check
from my personal account
by the end of the day.
You can consider it a Hayward
donation.
Jake: Hayward, you can't be
serious.
David: No, I am serious,
Jake, because the research I'm
doing is top secret.
Now, if I start itemizing
receipts and orders,
every competing hospital in this
country is going to be after
what I'm doing, and I will not
let that happen.
My secretary will walk over
a check to your office
by the end of the day.
Joe: Does he really believe
that people examine his invoices
in order to steal his research?
Jake: No, he doesn't.
There's something else.
Joe: What are you talking
about?
Jake: Dad, David Hayward
wants to be reimbursed
for the ink when he writes
a prescription.
He's covering something up.
But what now?
Anna: I've been watching you,
Ryan, for quite some time.
Ryan: There's a whole club
of you.
Did you know that?
Anna: I know what you've been
through.
Every miserable thing that could
happen to a guy has happened
to you this year.
Look at you, you're still
standing.
You're one of the strong ones.
Keep on marching no matter what.
Ryan: Your point, please?
Anna: I've only met a handful
of people like you.
One of them being your cousin
Duke.
He also was outraged by basic
rights being violated.
Especially by the rich
and powerful.
Especially.
Ryan: So, what, you think
that somehow distinguishes me
in some way?
Because I don't.
Anna: Oh, I do.
Yeah, Ryan, I mean,
there -- there's not a lot
of people left like you.
People who have such strong
instincts about what is right
and what is wrong.
And I know, I know, it just
drives you crazy when you can't
work it all out.
Ryan: That's why I drink
myself into oblivion
and I complain.
That's why.
Anna: I don't know,
but I happen to think that
perhaps it's because you have
a lot of energy and you don't
know how to channel it
in the right direction.
Ryan: For the greater good,
is that what you're saying?
Anna: For yourself.
To restore order to your idea
of what the world should be
like.
Ryan: Why do you -- what are
you talking about?
What are you saying, Anna?
Really, I have no idea.
Anna: I would kill to work
with someone like you.
No one in my business thinks
the way you do.
Well, I mean, no one that I know
now, anyway.
I think the way you do.
I guess what I'm suggesting,
if you're interested, is that
I could teach you how to do
this, you know, without making
a mess.
It'd be good for both of us.
Ryan: Anna, I'm trashing
a guy's bedroom to find out why
he's always in my business.
I'm actually not on a job
interview for the WSB -
I'm not.
Well, since you're not going
anywhere, obviously, I -- I am.
Anna: Ryan, I was talking
to you about your cousin Duke.
You won't believe how many
people that guy ticked off
in his life and the good he did
while he was at it.
[Ryan walks out on Anna]
[Pager beeps]
Anna: Oh, damn.
Vanessa: Now, Mateo, I do
realize that some of
your younger clients aren't up
on the old standards.
But I think I can work
into my set something that would
give even Madonna a run
for her money.
Oh, and I understand that
Britney Spears is quite
the thing.
So I was thinking if you put
together a medley that sort
of has pop --
and what are you doing here?
Greenlee: You want to know
WhatI'm doing here?
Leo: Easy, Greens.
Greenlee: No. No, Leo.
Look, when you need rescuing,
I'm coming with Leo
because if I don't, you have one
of your boys beat him up
or you do your own emotional
autopsy on him just for the fun
of it.
Leo: Look, Mateo called me.
What's going on?
Vanessa: Mateo, why did
you do that?
Mateo: I just wanted to help
you out.
Listen, Vanessa, people come
in here all the time.
All right?
They have their problems,
they want to talk about it.
And I will talk to you about
the job later, all right?
But this whole little, you know,
charade that your marriage
ending really wasn't
important -- I know better than
that.
So I figured I'd call
your family and you guys could
talk.
Vanessa: It's ok.
You know, you really are such
a good man, Mateo.
Mateo: I just wanted to help.
Leo: Let's talk, ok?
Let me do this alone.
If I need backup, I'll give
the sign.
Greenlee: If I beg you,
Mateo, will you give me every
single detail about what kind
of job Vanessa wanted?
Pretty please?
Mateo: She wanted to sing.
Greenlee: Shut up.
Simone: No, really.
She wanted to sing.
Greenlee: I can't stand it.
Sing what?
"Feelings"?
"Hopelessly Devoted to You"?
I'm In Heaven.
Mateo: What are you talking
about?
I mean, come on, the woman's
hurting.
Greenlee: Yeah, in the brain.
She's nuts, Mateo.
Certifiably nuts.
Bianca: I drove around
for a long, long time.
I --
I had been to see Frankie
earlier, and --
and that's when I -- I saw
her in bed with a boy.
Oh.
I just -- I --
I froze.
I --
I ran.
I ran out, I got in my car.
I just -- I kept seeing them
together.
I kept seeing that look
on her face when she looked up
and she saw me watching them.
I -- I couldn't get that look
out of my head.
Chris: Bianca --
Bianca, you have to tell us
everything truthfully.
You're under oath.
Your mother is accused
of murdering your girlfriend.
Please understand me when I say
this -- this is not the time
to be delicate.
Bianca: I don't know.
I don't know.
I didn't see his face.
I -- I just saw that they were
about to make love.
And I ran and I got in my car.
But I couldn't stay away.
And I --
I don't remember deciding to go
back to Opal's place.
I just ended up there somehow.
Chris: Just for clarity,
Opal's place is where Frankie
lived?
Bianca: Yes.
I -- I don't remember it
in order, you know, I --
Chris: That's ok.
You just tell us what you do
remember.
Bianca: I remember being
in the room.
Chris: Frankie's room?
Bianca: Yes.
I -- I don't remember walking
in the house.
I don't remember walking up
the steps.
I just --
I just -- I just remember being
in that room and going to tell
her that she was horrible and --
and then I walked in and she was
on the floor and she wasn't
moving and there was -- there
was blood.
I thought something --
Erica: She doesn't remember
everything because she's
blocking it out!
Chris: Erica, sit down.
Erica: She doesn't remember
because she saw me!
Jack: Your honor,
please, I implore you --
Erica: Her own mother --
[Judge pounds gavel]
Judge: Order!
[Gallery murmurs]
Judge: Ms. Kane, order!
I will hold you in contempt!
Order!
Bianca: No, wait!
That's not what happened at all.
I remember.
Jake: 50 Grand from his own
bank account to keep requisition
slips secret.
I don't think so, Hayward.
What are you up to now?
Anna: What is wrong with you?
David: I'm distracted, Anna.
Is that all right with you?
Anna: Don't jump all over me.
It's not my fault.
David: I'm sorry.
Anna: Is it whatever's going
on over there with Leo
and your mother?
David: Believe me,
that's the least of my problems.
It's Jake and his bloodhound
father.
Anna: Oh.
What's happened now?
David: Well, Jake knows
something's up, he can smell it.
And Joe knows that I moved some
money around.
For the research?
Anna: Is he questioning it?
David: They are so
by-the-book and so obnoxiously
self-righteous, they're not
going to stop until they dig me
a hole.
Anna: All right, so you've
had a run-in with Jake
and his father, and
you paged me -- thank you --
like it's urgent.
Why are you so worried?
David: Well, for a number
of reasons.
One of them being you.
Anna: Me?
David: There's no paper
trail, Anna.
There's no evidence,
no road leading back to me.
But you know everything.
You know what I did
with my research.
You know how I did it.
You even know why I did it.
Anna: But you can trust me.
David: No, actually, I can't.
Leo: Ok, let me get this
straight.
You actually walked in here,
sidled up to Mateo Santos,
and offered to be his regular lounge singer?
Please tell me you're kidding,
Mother.
Vanessa: Leo, you remember
how well I used to sing.
Leo: No, I don't.
Vanessa: Yes, you do.
Paris, Cote d'Azur.
Leo: Oh.
But I do remember Prague.
Do you remember that?
Prague, when we got run out
of town by that angry mob after
you did "Je Ne Regrette Rien"
topless?
Remember that?
Vanessa: It was hot,
wasn't it?
Listen, Darling, for Pete's
sake, I need a job.
My husband has just dumped me.
Leo: And this is how
you expect to regain
credibility?
Come on.
What do you keep looking
at Greenlee for?
Vanessa: I wish we could
just go.
The three of us.
Leo: Go where?
Do you want to hang out with me
and my fiancée now?
Vanessa: Leo, my Darling,
are you ever going to be
on my side again?
Leo: Are you ever going to be
normal?
Greenlee: Look, Mateo,
you're a nice guy.
I know you're having problems
in your own marriage, but --
Simone: Well, that's over.
Greenlee: Yeah. I heard.
But Vanessa is a whiner.
That woman is a parasite.
She plays victim and then
she preys on unsuspecting nice
guys like you to bail her out
of her misery.
Mateo: Her whole world is
falling apart.
She has nowhere to go.
She needs a job.
Ok, as pathetic as that was
for her, you know, to ask
to sing here, I mean, you got
to feel some compassion for her.
Don't you?
Greenlee: That is such like
a man, isn't it?
Mateo, you never see who a woman
really is or what she's really
like.
You just see what's
on the outside and then you fall
for it.
And then the nice guys like
you are all helpful.
And the creepy ones like
her last boyfriend --
Simone: Is that why
her husband left her?
Greenlee: Honey, she was
sleeping with the chauffeur.
Simone: Oh.
Well, stuff happens.
Greenlee: Yeah, I know.
Well, I saw her true colors last
night.
Mateo: What do you mean?
Greenlee: Went over to talk
to her about coming in between
Leo and me, and she had some
rendezvous scheduled
with the dude for exactly 7:00
Or something.
You'd think she was never going
to get it again the way she was
trying to shove me out the door.
I mean, she was like,
"It's 7:00, You have to get out
of here."
And I wouldn't budge.
And I have to tell you
something.
If I didn't know any better,
that old broad would have killed
me right here if she could have.
Mateo: What did you say?
[Kendall drinks champagne, alone, in Erica's office]
Kendall: Who's laughing last,
Mama, me or you?
Bianca: I -- I remember being
in that room and seeing
Frankie's body.
You didn't kill her, Mom.
You couldn't have.
Erica: No --
Bianca: You didn't --
you didn't kill her because --
because --
ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Kendall: This is nothing
but a big act to save Erica's
lying behind!
Bianca is lying!
Can't you see that?
Mateo: I have a proposition
for you.
Greenlee: What did you have
in mind?
Leo: Something large
and romantic -- a night you're
never going to forget.
