ALL MY CHILDREN

JULY 13, 2001



Mateo: The new and improved SOS Christian: Very nice. The place looks great, Mateo.
Mateo: Thanks. I appreciate you guys showing up, ma everybody's really, really psyched.
Christian: Hey, it's no problem, you know. Pine Valley's our favorite venue.
Mateo: Yeah.
Christian: So, how's Hayley anyway?
Mateo: Extremely pregnant.
Christian: Yeah?
Mateo: Wishing she had the kid, like, yesterday.
Christian: That's too bad.
Mateo: Yeah, yeah.

Girl: Christian Burns, I'm totally BBMak's biggest fan, and it would be, like, beyond my wildest dream if I could have your autograph.
Christian: Sure. You got a pen? Ok, so, what's your name?
Girl: Emily.
Christian: Pretty name.
Emily: Thanks.
Christian: Here you go.
Emily: Thank you!
Christian: There you go. Thank you.

Mateo: I'm sorry about that. It's --
Christian: Don't worry about it. It's when they stop asking -- now, that's when you got problems.
Mateo: Yeah.
Christian: You know?
Mateo: Right. Let me buy you a drink. Come on.

Bianca: Leo, hey!
Leo: Hey.
Bianca: Are you here for the concert?
Leo: Yeah.
Bianca: Cool. Well, where's Laura? We can sit together.
Leo: She's home. She's still not really up for crowds and stuff yet, so --
Bianca: Oh. So you're here checking out BBMak on your own?
Leo: Mm-hmm, yeah. Well, Laura's resting and, you know, Zora's there to take care of anything she needs. It's --
Bianca: Oh. If you need some time down, I totally understand that.
Leo: Yeah.
Leo: Bianca, don't get the wrong idea.
Bianca: What idea? Like friends don't treat friends like they're brain-dead?
Leo: Greenlee -- it's not what you think.
Bianca: Lucky for you, it doesn't really matter what I think, does it?

Gabriel: What did he do to you? Did Marcus hurt you?
Shannon: What's with the grill? What, you get off on other people's pain?
Gabriel: Maybe I can help.
Shannon: I don't want your help.

Rosa: Marcus -- Marcus, not here.
Marcus: Ok.
Rosa: Stop.
Marcus: How about here? Let's get out of this place, go find some privacy. What do you think?

Mateo: Hi.
Rosa: Teo! Hi. We -- uh -- we were just about to --
Mateo: You were just -- just -- just going to come back in the back room and help me out, weren't you?
Marcus: Yeah.
Mateo: Yeah, yeah. Come on.

Tad: Like said, I appreciate your concern, but I'm a big boy and I'm not hiding anything.
Derek: You're messing with some very dangerous people. Let the police handle it.
Tad: You know, I got to be honest here, Derek. I don't exactly see my tax dollars at work.
Derek: You're not hearing me, Tad. We have a task force in place to stop the flow of drugs coming into Pine Valley. If you get in our way, if you blow somebody's cover, Tad, I swear I will skin you alive.
Tad: Thanks for the warning.
Derek: Think I didn't see this before?
Tad: See what?
Derek: How did you get blood on your shirt, Tad? And don't tell me you cut yourself shaving.

Liza: Whose side am I on? I am on your side, Adam, always.
Adam: No, no! Not always. You took Ryan's side against me.
Liza: I told you to give him a week, seven days to come to grips with Gillian's death.
Adam: One week isn't going to make a difference.
Liza: No, it might not. Ryan might take his entire lifetime to have some peace about what happened. But you cracking the whip and expecting results -- it's not going to work.
Adam: Where I come from, loyalty goes unquestioned. Either you're for me or against me.
Liza: Yeah, well, don't look now, Toto, but you're not in Pigeon Hollow anymore.
Adam: What is that supposed to mean?
Liza: It means we can agree to disagree because, in the end, it doesn't even really matter. We want the same thing. Our methods are different.
Adam: You seldom approve of my methods.
Liza: Is my approval that important if you know I love you? Ryan and incredibledreams.com -- in the end, it doesn't matter. At the end of our lives, is it really going to make you any more happier to look at a profit/loss index? And on that note, I have to call Tokyo before the Nikkei opens. And I'll have the veal so we can share.

David: Adam -- I met with your legal dream team this afternoon.
Adam: Spare me the updates on your legal hassles.
David: My legal hassles are very much your problem, Adam. Barry Shire suggested that I cut a deal with the DA and serve two years at Statesville.
Adam: You'd be getting off easy.
David: I refuse to spend two minutes behind bars, let alone two years.
Adam: If that's the best my lawyers can do --
David: What this situation requires, Adam, is your personal touch.
Adam: And if I refuse?
David: I will take your son down with me.

[Voices from police radio]

Officer: Hey, you -- hey!
Officer: Yeah, this is Officer Bergen. We got a cold one over at the boathouse. Dispatch the S.O.C. unit and Imaguchi from the coroner's office. Patch me through to Lt. Frye.

Tad: Blood?
Derek: It's not ketchup.
Tad: Oh, that's right. You know, now I -- I remember. I was -- I was dismembering my latest murder victim, you know, at home in the wood chipper, and things got out of --
Derek: Don't mess with me, Tad!
Tad: Oh, no, I'm serious. You can't cut up a body for cold storage, you know, and not get a little blood on your hands. And if you hit an artery, it's like pop art. It's just --
Derek: This a joke to you?
Tad: No, it's not anything to me because I haven't done anything I regret.
Derek: Well, that's a loaded statement.
Tad: Load it any way you want. My conscience is clear.

[Phone rings]

Derek: This is Frye. Where? I'm on it. I'll deal with you later.
Tad: You forgot to tell me not to leave town.

Greenlee: I'm glad you came, Leo.
Leo: Greenlee, listen to me --
Greenlee: I wasn't sure my note would work, but --
Leo: Yeah.
Greenlee: You're here.
Leo: Yeah, to show you this. Greenlee, I'm married.
Greenlee: You don't have to remind me.
Leo: Look, whatever happened in the park last night --
Greenlee: You don't remember?
Leo: I was drunk.
Greenlee: You totally remember.

Mateo: All right, let's get this show started, huh?

[Applause]

Mateo: SOS Is proud to invite the biggest British import. Put your hands together one time for BBMak.

[Cheers]

Christian: Thank you very much. Thank you. And, well, it's great to be back, and without further ado, we'd like to do this next track. And we'd like to dedicate it to all you lovebirds out there.

[BBMack sings}

[Cheers and applause]

Adam: You threaten my son again, and I will disembowel you piece by rotten piece.
David: You won't do anything of the kind, Adam, because if I end up in a morgue, your son's video confession goes straight to the police. He'll spend his wonder years behind bars in juvenile lockup -- unless, of course, the judge decides to try him as an adult.
Adam: You are a wretched excuse for a human being.
David: It's like looking in a mirror, isn't it, Adam?
Adam: All right. I'll talk to my lawyers.
David: No, no, no. You're going to do a hell of a lot more than that. You're going to do whatever it takes to make sure these charges against me are dismissed -- no jail time, no punitive damages. And, please, no community service, all right?
Adam: All right. All right, all right, I'll do it. But in the meantime, you stay the hell away from me and my family.
David: Oh, we'll see about that. I'll call you tomorrow for a progress report. You want to make sure that I'm a happy man, Adam, because could make your son's life a living hell

J.R.: Dad, I need to talk to you.
Adam: All right, son. What? What's -- what's wrong?
J.R.: I -- I didn't know what to do. I ran all the way here.
Adam: From the community center?
J.R.: Ok, look, I lied to you about that. I'm sorry.
Adam: All right. What happened? Where were you?
J.R.: I was at the boathouse. I -- I had a meeting scheduled with Sweeney. But when I got there, Dad, he was dead.

Derek: Imaguchi said the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head.
Officer Bergen: No weapon was found.
Derek: Which means the perp probably ditched it someplace. What do you make of that?
Officer Bergen: Maybe a drug deal went south and he got rolled.
Derek: His father's a cop at Center City. You know that?
Officer Bergen: Seriously?
Derek: Yeah. Apparently he's in complete denial. So you think maybe a rival drug dealer decided to jump Sweeney's claim or maybe --
Derek: Maybe somebody wanted Sweeney out of business yesterday.
Officer Bergen: You mean it was personal? Hey, where are you going?
Derek: See a friend who may be in trouble.

[Cheers and applause]

Mateo: Once again, thank you so much. That was great.
Christian: Hey, no problem. It's a shame we didn't see Hayley.
Mateo: Well, you know, she's following doctor's orders, you know?
Christian: I wonder -- do you think we could pop around now and, you know, say hello?
Mateo: You're kidding.
Christian: Yeah.
Mateo: You'd do that?
Christian: Of course we would.
Mateo: Great. She'd love that. I'll pull around back, and you guys can follow me.
Christian: Ok.

Rosa: "Mi Corazon, meet me at the boathouse. Let me show you the stars. Love, Marcus." Hey!
Gabriel: Is this from Marcus?
Rosa: You know that is.
Gabriel: Let me guess -- he wants to meet you someplace.
Rosa: You are beyond rude!
Gabriel: Look, don't go, Rosa. Marcus isn't right for you.
Rosa: And I suppose you are?
Gabriel: I would never hurt you. You'd never have to be afraid if you were with me.
Rosa: Like I have to be afraid of Marcus.
Gabriel: Maybe you should.
Rosa: And maybe you should mind your own business.
Gabriel: I'm just telling you to be careful.
Rosa: Gabriel, there is a whole world out there. I just want to scope it out and see what all the buzz is about. If it was up to you and Mateo and my Momi would be locked up until I'm too old to have any fun. Look, Gabriel, I'm -- I'm fine. I can handle myself, really. It's sweet of you to care.
Gabriel: Ok.
Rosa: Gabriel, we're going to be running into each other a lot over the summer working here, so maybe we should just stay out of each other's way, ok?

Leo: Well, thanks for filling me in, Greens.
Greenlee: Mm-hmm. You were lucky I came along in the park when I did. You were really out of it. I sat up all night watching you sleep, snoring those sweet little baby snores, a little bit of drool running down the corner of your mouth.
Leo: How could you resist me?
Greenlee: I have my own set of rules. You're a married man, even if your marriage is a farce.
Leo: Listen to me. Laura's my wife, ok? End of story.
Greenlee: You know, Leo, it's one thing to lie to me. I'm used to it. But lying to yourself -- that's pretty sad.

Liza: J.R.? How are you doing?
J.R.: Uh -- I'm fine.
Liza: I heard you started counseling today.
J.R.: Yeah.
Liza: How's it going?
J.R.: Good, thanks.
Liza: Why don't you join us for dinner?
Adam: Uh -- J.R. Just came by for a little advice -- you know, father-son stuff. So why don't you go finish your call. We'll be fine.
Liza: Ok. It was good to see you. Take care.

Adam: Now, sit down and tell me exactly what happened.
J.R.: I -- I went to the boathouse to meet Sweeney.
Adam: You were supposed to be grounded.
J.R.: I know.
Adam: What did you tell Dixie?
J.R.: I -- I told her that I was at the community center.
Adam: Well, that wasn't very smart, was it?
J.R.: I had to see him, Dad.
Adam: Why, to buy drugs? J.R.: No! Of course not.
Adam: Then what was so urgent?
J.R.: I -- I can't tell you.
Adam: Son, the boy is dead. Any loyalty you may feel you owe him died with him.
J.R.: I just -- I wanted him to know that I didn't rat him out for selling me that candy necklace.
Adam: Damn it.
J.R.: He was dead when I got there.
Adam: Are you sure?
J.R.: Yes. He didn't have a pulse. He had bruises all over his face. I thought about calling 911.
Adam: Did you?
J.R.: No. I mean -- I jumped into the bushes right as someone was coming. And sure enough, it was a cop.
Adam: Oh, good God. Did he see you?
J.R.: I don't -- I don't think so. I mean, I don't know. What if he did? Dad, what if he thinks I killed Sweeney? What am I going to do?
Adam: I'll tell you exactly what you're going to do. You're going to calm down, you're going to take a deep breath and stop looking so damn guilty. And then you're going to do exactly as I tell you, and everything will be fine.

David: Looks like somebody's having a bad day.

Dixie: Hey, Derek.
Derek: Hi, Dix. Is -- is Tad here?
Dixie: No. Sorry.
Derek: Have any idea where I can find him?
Dixie: -- No, I don't. What's this about? Does this have something to do with J.R.?
Derek: Not that I know of. You mind if I come in for a minute?
Dixie: This isn't a social call, is it?
Derek: Wish it were.
Dixie: So, what's up? Why are you looking for Tad?
Derek: Look, Dixie, has Tad been acting strange lately, have you noticed?
Dixie: Strange like regular people or strange for Tad?
Derek: You know what I'm getting at.
Dixie: No, I don't. I don't know what's on your mind, so why don't you just spill it.
Derek: Ok. All right. The department is coming down on drug traffic coming in through Pine Valley. It's coming down hard.
Dixie: That's good. That's good. What does that have to do with Tad?
Derek: In a perfect world, nothing. But I believe that Tad is conducting his own investigation. Is my hunch correct?
Dixie: I don't know.
Derek: Come on, Dixie. Tell me the truth. I mean, if Tad is out there playing vigilante cowboy, he's inviting a world of trouble on himself.
Dixie: Come on. Now you're scaring me.
Derek: I am scared, too, Dix. I am scared that Tad has taken the law into his own hands.
Dixie: What makes you think that?
Derek: Ran into one of J.R.'s crowd at the boathouse. Name of Sweeney. He was dead, murdered.
Dixie: My God.
Derek: Coincidentally, I ran into Tad tonight at SOS He had blood on his sleeve. I want to know how it got there. I want Tad to tell me.
Dixie: Are you accusing Tad of murder?
Derek: No one's making any accusations.
Dixie: Well, you're not here to arrest him for jaywalking.
Derek: I'm not here to arrest anybody. I just want to ask him some questions.
Dixie: No, you want to find out if he has an alibi.
Derek: Look, Dixie, I ran into Tad tonight at SOS He had blood on his sleeve. And when I asked him about it, he gave me the runaround. Now he's disappeared.
Dixie: Well, why don't you just go back to the club?
Derek: I called, but he's already left.
Dixie: Well, what does that mean, he's a wanted man? I mean, he could be anywhere. He could one of a hundred places.
Derek: All I need is one of those places so I can find him and clear this up.
Dixie: Well, maybe there's nothing to clear up, Derek.
Derek: What, are you telling me that Tad wasn't furious at Sweeney for pushing to J.R.?
Dixie: Yeah, of course. Of course he was mad. So was I.

[Derek sighs]

Derek: Now, you know her. That's Danielle. That's my daughter. Now, I have often wondered what I would do if anybody offered her drugs. I mean, I'm a cop, right? I'm sworn to uphold the law. But in that minute, I could stop being a cop and just be her father, ready to do whatever it takes to protect my child.
Dixie: What are you saying?
Derek: I don't know what I would do in Tad's place. I'd like to think I'd do the right thing. But who the hell knows? You have my numbers, Dixie. Now, you have Tad call me when he gets in. Doesn't matter what time. Doesn't matter.
Dixie: I will, I will.

[Derek leaves and Dixie calls Tad's cell phone]

Dixie: Tad, hi, it's me. Listen, you got to meet me. You've got to meet me right away. I want you to meet me at the Pine Cone Motel. I'll be registered under Mrs. Carson, ok? Just whatever you do, meet me there, ok? Just do it for your own good.

[Dixie writes a note to J.R.]

"J.R. I'm going out. I'll be home soon. Won't be late. Love you, Mom."

Bianca: Hey! You want to dance?
Gabriel: I thought you didn't like guys.
Bianca: Ouch.
Gabriel: Sorry. I shouldn't have said that. That was mean.
Bianca: Well, make it up to me and dance.
Gabriel: I've got to work.
Bianca: Oh, yeah? Just a second ago you were just about to blow off your job and go with Rosa, right?
Gabriel: She's going to meet Marcus somewhere.
Bianca: And you thought maybe you'd follow along, maybe hit him again, maybe get yourself arrested? I'm very observant.
Gabriel: I don't like that guy. What do you know about him?
Bianca: Gabriel, is this a contest to see how much trouble you can possibly get yourself into? If you mess with Marcus, you're going to get yourself arrested and Rosa's going to cross you off her list forever.
Gabriel: But what if she's in trouble?
Bianca: What if she really digs this guy and doesn't want you to get in her way? Look, it's summer. Let's just have a little fun, ok? Come on. Come on!

Greenlee: Wait, Leo. Before you go ruing off to your honeymoon condo and your blushing bride, listen to me.
Leo: You and I are finished. How many ways do I have to say it? I get the message, ok?
Greenlee: Well, maybe you got the wrong message. Maybe I gave it to you.
Leo: But we have no future. You made that pretty clear back at the loft, remember?
Greenlee: You agreed with me.
Leo: No, I faced facts. We blew whatever chance we had.
Greenlee: Maybe not.
Leo: Greenlee, don't do this.
Greenlee: I've been watching you, Leo, with Laura. You're trying so hard to prove that you've changed, that you're not the same guy who broke my heart.
Leo: Laura makes it easy to be good, all right?
Greenlee: Is that why you stayed out all night drinking?
Leo: No, that had nothing to do with Laura.
Greenlee: I know. I know how guilty you felt. It's so hard for people like us to know how to do the right thing, what that even is, but I finally figured it out. Leo, you could never hurt Laura the way you hurt me because you could never love her the way you loved me, the way you still love me.
Leo: Greenlee --
Greenlee: Listen, this is what I need to tell you. It came to me last night sitting in the park, holding your hand while you slept. We were right where we were supposed to be -- together. We can have us back again, Leo. We can have what we've always wanted -- each other.

Adam: Hayward, get the hell out of my face!
David: So, what ditch do you need Daddy Dearest digging you out of this time, Junior?
J.R.: You know, why do you got to be like this?
David: Hmm, it's a family curse. But don't look now. Looks like you have one of your own.
Adam: Leave my son alone.
David: We'll talk tomorrow, Adam.
Adam: We'll talk when I have something to say.
David: Which means tomorrow.

Adam: Sit down. All right, here's the plan. You're going to go home, straight home, no detours. Don't talk to anyone. And when you get there, stay there.
J.R.: What about Sweeney?
Adam: You spent the entire evening with me, right here. You got that? Son, I know you're scared, but don't be, because I will handle this.
J.R.: Thanks, Dad.
Adam: But as soon as this blows over, you and I are going to sit down and have a really serious talk. Son, I'm -- I'm willing to help you out this time but you're going to have to take charge of your life! I can't help fixing your mistakes! You have to be accountable.
J.R.: I'm going to change, Dad. I promise.
Adam: Well, I hope to God you mean that. Now, here. Go on, take a cab home. I'll call you tomorrow.

Liza: So, what's wrong?
Adam: Never mind. All you need to know is J.R. spent the entire evening here with us.
Liza: Oh, I don't think so.

[Applause]

Bianca: Hey! You're a good dancer.
Gabriel: Yeah, right.

Shannon: Bianca, since when are you about dancing with guys?
Bianca: Well, Shannon, I thought about asking you, but I didn't want to turn you on.

Bianca: Come on. Let me buy you a soda. We can discuss nonviolent strategies for dealing with people we hate.
Gabriel: You're a lot better person than I am.
Bianca: Yeah, right. Like the time I accidentally pushed Shannon into the water.

Leo: Greenlee, we can't have this talk -- us, a couple. We're off-limits, ok?
Greenlee: You feel like you're cheating on Laura just by being with me.
Leo: Yeah, kind of.
Greenlee: Stop piling on the guilt, Leo. I know why you married Laura, and it wasn't just to look like a nice guy. You took money from Brooke. And money changes everything.

Liza: Adam, we did not spend the evening with your son. J.R. was here for 10 minutes, and he left.
Adam: All right, all right. 10 Minutes, two hours -- what's the difference?
Liza: An hour and 50 minutes.
Adam: Liza, will you just go along with me on this one, just once?
Liza: Ok. Here's the imagined scenario. We're spending a nice, quiet evening at home, and there's a knock at the door. "Oh, Adam, who is it?" "It's the police." What did he do? Did he rob a bank? Did he knock off a liquor store? Did he sneak into an R-rated movie?
Adam: This -- this is not a joke.
Liza: No, your son came to you for an alibi, and you have given him one? I'm not supposed to ask who, what, why, or when?
Adam: I don't want you involved.
Liza: I am involved! I'm married to you, for better or for worse.
Adam: It doesn't get much worse than this.
Liza: Would you talk to me? Would you trust me? Trust my love for you.
Adam: J.R. went to the boathouse tonight to meet a friend of his. His friend, Sweeney -- when J.R. got there, Sweeney was dead.
Liza: Oh, my God.
Adam: So you can see why we have to keep J.R.'s name out of this.
Liza: He found the body?
Adam: Yes, he found the body, but he didn't kill the kid.
Liza: And you -- and you know this because?
Adam: Because he's my son. Are you -- what, are you actually suggesting that maybe J.R. --
Liza: You know what?
Adam: J.R. killed the --
Liza: I'm not -- I don't -- I don't know what I'm suggesting. J.R. is very troubled.
Adam: Well, you think he's capable of murder? I don't believe this. You actually think that J.R. has what it takes to be a killer?

Rosa: Marcus -- hey.
Marcus: Hey.
Rosa: Sorry I'm late.
Marcus: How are you?
Rosa: What's wrong?
Marcus: I don't know. The police -- I don't know what's up, but let's take the party someplace else.
Rosa: Ok. Sorry. Well --

Officer Bergen: Hey, you kids, hold on.
Marcus: Evening, Officer. Is there a problem?
Officer Bergen: Hey, you know a kid named Sweeney?
Marcus: Yeah, I've seen him around.
Officer Bergen: You hung out together.
Marcus: All Sweeney did was hang out. He's older and kind of a loser.
Officer Bergen: Did you know he sold drugs?
Rosa: He does?
Officer Bergen: Marcus?
Marcus: Why, is he busted?
Officer Bergen: No, he's dead.
Marcus: What?
Officer Bergen: Look, I'm going to want you two to come down to the station house and make a statement.
Marcus: Yeah. Yeah, sure. Whatever. But, look, I don't know anything about any drugs.
Officer Bergen: Yeah. Right. You kids run along. And don't worry -- we'll nail the guy who did this.

Tad: Mrs. Carson?
Dixie: Tad, thank God. Come here.

Greenlee: I saw Brooke give you a check at the hospital.
Leo: That wasn't a payoff or a buyout. Laura and I needed a jump-start to get our life moving. It was a -- a loan. I'm going to pay it back.
Greenlee: Hey, Brooke owes you way more than you owe her. She owes you her daughter's life. That was the deal, right? You make Laura's final days heaven on earth, and then you move on. Only you got way more than you bargained for. Laura didn't die. And now you're stuck, Mr. Do The Right Thing, till death do you part. You gave Laura a reason to live and you can't take it back.
Leo: No, I can't.
Greenlee: But I'm here, Leo. I survived my broken heart, and we can still be together. We can make Laura understand. That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to make a vow. I, Greenlee, take you, Leo, exactly as you are. And you take me, bumps, twists, warts and all, forever and for always.

Liza: J.R. Is getting quite the reputation of a serial liar.
Adam: About murdering a friend?
Liza: If J.R. lied about his drug use, he could be lying about the way this Sweeney died. I hope you can see that.
Adam: You actually think J.R. is capable of murder? My God, Liza, he's my son.
Liza: That's exactly what I'm afraid of.

Tad: Whoa. Take it easy. Take it easy. What is this about?
Dixie: It's about you. God, Tad, what have you done?


ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN

Greenlee: You asked me why I wanted to meet Leo here. I wasn't going to tell you, but I think it's time you knew.

Adam: What are you doing here?
Ryan: I'm considering a job offer.

Erica: Is someone there?

Derek: Hello, Tad. I've been looking for you.
