Gillian: I love how soft
your lips are.
Ryan: I'm not dreaming, am I?
Gillian: No.
Ryan: Good, because I've had
many impure thoughts
of you in that uniform.
Gillian: Like?
Ryan: Oh, if I told you,
you wouldn't be able
to volunteer anymore.
Hey, is Scott back?
Gillian: Uh-uh. No.
Thank goodness he's still
at Marian's.
Ryan: Oh, good.
Gillian: You left too soon
last night.
I still had a million things
I wanted to tell you.
Ryan: Like?
Gillian: I can't
remember now.
All I can think about is this.
Ryan: Now I know I must
be dreaming.
Gillian: Then don't wake up.
So, what were you thinking about
me in this uniform?
Ryan: To unwrap you like
a piece of candy.
Junior: Hey, Mom!
[Dixie laughs]
Tad: There you go.
I win.
That's it. Thank you.
Junior: Somebody got to tell
the PTA. To make some more
field trips.
They rock!
Jamie: Yeah, they're not even
like school.
Tad: James, come here
for a sec.
Jamie: Ok.
Tad: What position does coach
got you playing today?
Jamie: First base.
I'm on deck after Junior.
Tad: All right.
Excellent.
Junior: Jamie always get
a hit.
Jamie: And Junior always hits
me in.
Tad: Yeah, well, you can
be sure that I'll be the guy
screaming like a maniac
in the bleachers.
Junior: Hey.
Jamie: Yeah, you scream
the loudest.
Tad: That's a good thing,
right?
Jamie: Could be .
Tad: I hereby announce that
I will be on the job officially,
ok?
From here on out,
no more road trips.
Family comes first, always.
Junior: Does that include
my dad?
Tad: I think your father and I will
always going to get along like
Godzilla and King Kong.
Junior: So you still
hate him?
Tad: Nah.
Life's too short to go through
hating somebody.
Besides, you don't want to do
something like that especially
if your loved ones get caught
in the middle.
And there's room enough in this
town for the both of us.
And we both love you.
Dixie: Ok.
Shouldn't you guys go warm up?
Tad: That's a good idea.
Dixie: It's going to be
a big game, right?
Tad: Yeah, well, I'll get
the bat and shag you guys
some flies.
Dixie: Hey, where are
you going?
Come on.
Tad: I can't move.
Dixie: Come here.
Tad: Mmm.
Yes. What's that for?
[Dixie giggles]
Tad: What's that for?
Dixie: For being you.
Tad: Mmm.
Well, you just have the muscle
liniment standing by for little
me because I'm going to need it.
Dixie: Oh, yeah?
Tad: Hey, Liza.
Liza: I didn't know you were
in town.
Tad: I just got back.
I was going to give you a call
eventually.
Liza: Well, we miss
you at the station.
If there's a chance --
Tad: No, I don't think so.
I meant what I said.
My broadcast days are over.
Dixie: And family rejoiced.
Liza: Well, if you change
your mind --
Tad: Ah --
I don't think I'm going to.
Thanks anyway.
I --
I got some future all-stars
to warm up.
Dixie: Ok.
See you later.
Liza: Well, I should go.
Dixie: Actually, Liza,
can you stay?
Because I have something
I'd like to clear up with you.
Liza: About what?
Dixie: Well, about you and me
and my family.
Vanessa: Whew!
Quaint.
Cozy.
Brooke: Coming through.
Excuse us.
Whoa.
Are you all right?
Eliot: Excuse me, everybody.
Brooke: Do you need a hand?
Could I --
Eliot: I got it, I got it.
Brooke: Ok. Thank you.
Eliot: Good morning.
Vanessa: Ah. To some.
Brooke: Vanessa. Hi.
Grace and I were going to call
and thank you and Palmer.
Vanessa: Oh.
Well, you're welcome.
Brooke: You know, our block
party is going to be such
a success because of
your contribution.
Vanessa: Well, we're happy
to do whatever --
Brooke: Listen, I would love
to talk.
I have my hands full.
Maybe we'll see more
of you around the community
center.
Vanessa: "Fresh plucked
chickens."
I need a drink.
Palmer: Oh! Hello.
Get your hands dirty yet?
Vanessa: Oh.
Palmer.
Actually, darling, I have been
trying not to touch anything.
Palmer: Oh. Well.
We wouldn't want you to get
your hands dirty, so you can
always wear gloves.
Vanessa: Gloves?
Palmer: And a hair net.
Vanessa: Oh, that's hardly
necessary.
Well, you look very,
you know, jolly this morning.
I got to tell you, however,
I did not sleep a wink,
wondering why you had ordered me
here at this time.
Palmer: Well, after a restful
night at the club, I just
couldn't wait to see you.
Vanessa: Oh, darling,
how sweet -- ew.
Palmer: Keep your hands
to yourself.
Vanessa: Oh, can't I even
show my gratitude?
Come on, it's because
of you I do have my freedom.
So, I'll do anything you want.
I owe you my life.
Palmer: Good.
And I'll take it.
And I will make it
a living hell.
Erica: Hi.
David: Hey.
Erica: Oh, listen, you look
really exhausted.
David: I've been
in the OR. For hours.
Erica: Then you don't know.
David: Great.
Look, whatever it is,
can it wait till I've had a cup
of coffee and a shower?
Leo: Oops.
I think I used up all
the hot water.
I like long showers.
David: Is that my robe?
Leo: It's one of them.
You keep quite the wardrobe
here, David.
I'm impressed.
David: Is there any more
coffee?
Leo: No, David.
This was the last cup.
You know, I --
I hate to be rude, but
you should really think about
calling before you come over
next time.
Would you like a croissant?
David: Do you regret inviting
him to stay over yet?
Erica: Oh.
I think there must be a way that
we can make this all work.
David: Why don't you remind
me of that after my cold shower?
Erica: Yeah.
David, wait a second.
David, there is definitely news
about the murder case.
[Doorbell rings]
Leo: Is anybody going
to get that?
Erica: Jack.
Jack: Good morning, Erica.
Erica: Hi.
Jack: Hey, Doc.
How are you?
Well, Leo, looks like you're all
moved in and making yourself
at home.
Leo: Whatever that is.
Erica: What's the news, Jack?
Jack: The news is in fact
good news.
Leo, all the charges against
you have been dropped.
Leo: I'm free?
Jack: That's right.
But the district attorney
refuses to press charges against
Vanessa.
David and Erica: What?
Erica: You mean,
Vanessa killed a man and she's
not going to have to pay for it?
David: Does this come from the DA?
Jack: I just left his chambers.
Interestingly enough,
he refuses to bring charges
against her is because of a lack
of evidence.
David: Well, how is that when you have so many
Witnesses?
Jack: I told you that confession will do us
no good without any evidence.
David: Of course
there's evidence!
Erica: No, David,
that's exactly what I wanted
to say to you before.
All the evidence pertaining
to the Paolo Caselli case that
was -- it disappeared last night
from the police station.
Jack: Well, stolen,
actually, is the term I'd like
to use.
No fingerprints.
No sign of forced entry.
David: Palmer.
Jack: That's exactly the name
that came to my mind.
He's the only person involved
in all this that has
the resources to make such
a clean job of it.
David: Son of a --
Jack: Yeah, well,
that's exactly what
the D.A. said and a good
deal more.
Erica: Are you telling me
that Vanessa is just going
to walk away from this?
Jack: Derek is conducting
an internal investigation,
but frankly, I don't think much
is going to come of it, Erica.
David: I can't believe this!
Leo: David, this is Vanessa
we're talking about.
She's only used up five of her nine lives.
David: Do you realize this is
the second person she got away
with killing?
Erica: Oh, this is just
not right.
At least your brother is free.
David: Congratulations.
Leo: Do you have any
English marmalade?
No matter where we were
in the world, my mother always
made sure that we had
English marmalade.
Erica: Leo,
are you all right?
Vanessa: Palmer --
Palmer: Hmm?
Vanessa: You're grumpy right
now, but really, making my life
hell, isn't that a bit over
the top?
Palmer: After everything
you've been up to?
I mean, do you deserve anything
less than that really?
Vanessa: You know,
darling, where is this
coming from?
One moment you're seething.
The next moment you're saving me
from the hoosegow.
Palmer: Did I do that?
Vanessa: You don't have
to admit that you had
the evidence stolen,
I mean, because we understand
each other.
Palmer: Oh, thank goodness,
at last, at last --
somebody who understands me.
Vanessa: And that's also why
you didn't give that confession
to the police, the one that
David happened to force out
of me.
Palmer: I know.
Who would have thought
the old man had so many
good deeds left in him?
Vanessa: Yeah, see?
My personal saint.
Now, darling, take me home
so I can worship at your altar.
Palmer: Don't be coy.
Do you know what happens
to little girls who cheat
on their husbands and then
murder their lovers?
Vanessa: Well, they get
a stern reprimand from
their very forgiving husband?
Palmer: No, no.
In your case,
it's community service.
Vanessa: Oh.
You're not serious.
Palmer: Yes, I am.
Well, well, well.
Brooke: Palmer.
Oh, listen, thank you so much
for the contribution
of the chickens.
Palmer: I still have a nose
for everything fowl.
Brooke: That's right --
what was the name
of your business?
Palmer: The Chicken Shack.
Brooke: Yes.
Palmer: Oh, yes,
I gutted, I chopped --
I don't know -- right back
to the top.
I still operate that way.
Vanessa: Aha.
Brooke: Oh. Are you ok?
Eliot, here, here.
This is Palmer Cortlandt.
Eliot: Hi.
Brooke: Palmer, the new
assistant pastor at The Good
Shepherd Church, Rev. Eliot
Freeman.
Eliot: Mm-hmm.
Hi.
Palmer: Reverend,
nice to know you.
Brooke: Palmer donated
the chickens.
Palmer: Yes.
Eliot: Oh, well, hey.
Thank you on behalf
of the neighborhood.
A good meal does a lot to bring
people together.
Palmer: You bet.
My wife was saying just the same
thing, weren't you, dear?
Vanessa: Yeah, as a matter --
Palmer: Yes. Yes.
Yes, she's donated her services.
That's why she's here.
Oh, she can gut with the best
of them.
You happen to have an apron,
extra one?
Brooke: Sure.
Palmer: Yes, my wife is
a natural butcher.
Eliot: The only chicken
this woman has even seen
is at 50 bucks a plate.
Brooke: I'm not even going
to ask.
Vanessa: Palmer!
Palmer: It's payback time,
darling.
Now, make sure you pluck all
the little teeny, tiny feathers
out of that chicken.
[Vanessa laughs]
Vanessa: Pluck you.
Ick.
Liza: I never want to be
a cause of pain or stress
for your family, Dixie.
Dixie: Ok.
Really, I was just hoping maybe
you could shed a little light
on why Adam is being so cold
to Junior these days.
Liza: Adam is being cold
to everybody since Stuart died.
Dixie: Yeah, but Junior
sort of is afraid that he's done
something to hurt Adam,
considering that he's testified
at the trial for Colby
and, you know, won't play soccer
for that stupid prep school that
Adam wanted him to go to.
He is worried that maybe
he's the cause of Adam's pain.
Liza: Well, have you talked
to Adam about it?
Dixie: Yeah, well, it's kind
of hard to get him on the phone.
See, he doesn't really answer
his phone, and
he pushed Junior away
last time we were there.
Liza: Dixie, it's not Junior.
Adam is in mourning over Stuart,
and I think --
I think that we just need to be
understanding.
Dixie: Well, that's cool.
Now, I'm all for compassion
and everything, but not
at the expense of my son.
Liza: I just think
he needs time.
He'll come around.
Dixie: What is this?
I mean, other than Tad,
nobody wanted to ruin Adam more
than you.
I mean, for months
you've been obsessed
with seeing him turn on a spit.
Shouldn't you be sort
of congratulating yourself
for winning finally?
Liza: I never wanted
to see him like this.
Dixie: Was that before
or after you had him committed
to a mental institution?
Liza: You know what?
I'm the first person to admit
that that situation got out
of control.
Dixie: Well, that's good.
That's big of you.
Liza: He is pushing
everybody away --
I mean, everybody.
He won't let anybody through.
He won't let me in.
I mean, he won't let me in
even --
even after --
Dixie: Even after you what
Liza: Dixie,
I don't expect you
to understand.
Dixie: You slept with him,
didn't you?
Tell me I'm wrong.
Ryan: What are you
thinking about?
Gillian: Happy accidents.
Ryan: Is that how you see us
back together again?
Gillian: In a way.
If you hadn't found
my journal --
Ryan: Which Greenlee stole
in the first place.
Gillian: I know,
but if you hadn't found it,
you never would have known
the truth.
I mean, she had me convinced
that you love her.
Ryan: You know what?
Do we have to talk about this?
Because it really makes me want
to punch something.
Gillian: You know,
if you want to get really,
really twisted,
we could say that Greenlee
brought us back together again.
Ryan: Oh, I would love
to tell her that.
Gillian: I know,
but the only truth that matters
right now is that you love me.
Ryan: Mmm. And I always have.
It's just when I think about all
the time that we've lost
because of her --
Gillian: Mmm. Don't, ok?
Ryan: Ok, but at least
you can admit how whacked
she is.
I mean, to use your words?
I mean, to use words
from your journal to create this
Cynthia person?
I mean --
Gillian: I know.
It's more than pathetic.
She wanted to make this whole
documentary on my life.
Ryan: Oh, man, I can't wait
to nail this on her.
Gillian: I know.
But you can't, not now.
Ryan: I'm going to have a lot
of trouble holding this back,
Gillian.
I really am.
Gillian: Ryan, if you're
going to confront her now,
she's going to tell people that
we're back together, and I have
to talk to Jake first.
Ryan: Ok. Ok, ok.
I would rather have
you in private than not have
you at all.
Gillian: As soon --
as soon as I ask Jake
for a divorce,
you can have me for the rest
of your life.
Ryan: Now, that is my dream.
[Knock on door]
Greenlee: Ryan?
Wake up, sleepyhead.
The cyber world waits
for no one.
Ryan: You've got to be
kidding me.
Gillian: Ryan, listen,
I have to go anyway, so I'll go
change in the bathroom
and I'll go out back.
Ryan: I -- I hate this
sneaking around, especially
for her.
This --
Gillian: I know, but we don't
have a choice until I talk
to Jake.
Greenlee: Ryan?
Ryan: Ok.
Hold on!
Gillian: Do you have
my journal?
Ryan: Yeah, I put it back
in the drawer where she left it,
where Greenlee left it,
so don't worry.
I'm not going to mess
anything up, ok?
Gillian: I know.
Bye.
Ryan: Ok, ok.
Greenlee: What's going on?
Afraid I'll see you naked?
Ryan: Oh, you would
love that, wouldn't you?
[Back door closes]
Greenlee: There's been a lot
of action on the market lately.
Investors are being very choosy
about picking stocks.
Ryan: That's understandable
nobody wants to get taken.
Greenlee: You seem to be
in a mad.
Ryan: I haven't had
my coffee yet.
Greenlee: I'll make you some.
I want you to be totally awake
for the surprise you're about
to get.
Greenlee: Ta-da!
We got a gold seal
from "Cyber Picks" magazine.
They picked us
the "Must See" site on the web.
Ryan: That's good.
Greenlee: "Good"?
It's great.
When you go public,
they'll be throwing money
at you.
Ryan: Rich on paper.
Greenlee: No, rich is rich.
They print money on paper,
and, baby, you're going to make
tons of it.
Ryan: Checking the e-mail?
Greenlee: I wanted to see
if Cynthia left you a message.
Ryan: Hmm.
Greenlee: Huh.
Ryan: Look at that.
Cynthia's back.
Greenlee: She wants
you to make her dream come true.
You should write to her.
Ryan: Yeah.
You know what I'll do is
I'll put a note on the monitor
to remind me.
Oh.
Whose book is this?
Greenlee: Mine. Mine.
I mean -- I mean, it's something
that I borrowed.
I forgot that it was here.
Ryan: What's wrong?
Greenlee: Nothing. Why?
Ryan: Well, you just seem
a little nervous.
Is it that book?
Is there something inside?
Greenlee: Aren't you going
to respond to Cynthia?
Ryan: Yeah.
What does she say?
Greenlee: Well, it's for you.
You should read it.
Ryan: No, go ahead.
We're all in this together.
Greenlee: Ok.
"Dear Ryan, I can't stop myself
from writing to you.
Is it any surprise that I feel
the way I do?
Ryan Lavery is the man
I've waited for my whole life,
a prince without a crown --"
Ryan: You know what?
That's enough.
Greenlee: Ryan --
Ryan: Greenlee, just stop it.
I can't listen to this anymore.
Gillian: Oh, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Joe: Hello.
Just the person I wanted to see.
Gillian: Hi.
Joe: No need to worry.
By my watch,
you're still one minute early.
Gillian: I just hate
being late.
Joe: Well, you tell
your supervisor you were
with me.
Sit down, Gillian.
Sit down.
I've got some good news.
Gillian: For me?
Joe: For everybody --
a letter from Jake.
Gillian: Oh.
What -- what does he say?
Joe: He says Chechnya's
rough, but he loves the work
he's doing.
Gillian: That's wonderful.
Joe: Mm-hmm.
I think he's found a real sense
of purpose.
Gillian: Joe, how come
he only writes to you?
Joe: Oh.
I can understand that might be
a concern, but he doesn't
just write to me.
This is for you.
Gillian: I'm afraid
to open it.
Joe: Why?
Gillian: Because he didn't
send it directly to me.
It's almost like
an afterthought.
Joe: Oh, no, no, no.
Don't think that way.
You know, you have to remember
that Chechnya is a war
zone still.
It makes more sense to send
everything out in one package.
He asked me to deliver it to you
personally.
Gillian: Thank you.
Joe: Yeah.
[Pager beeps]
Joe: I know it's only
a letter.
But try and find yourself
someplace private to be
with him.
Liza: I'm not ashamed
of being with Adam.
Dixie: Wow.
Don't sugarcoat it, Liza.
Just jump right into bed
with him.
Liza: You know what?
I wanted to reach out to him.
He wanted to reach out to me,
to love me, and he just kept
shutting me out.
Dixie: Wow!
You just never change, do you?
Liza: No.
I wanted to reach out
to his heart.
I mean, I think at least
one person should make
the effort.
Dixie: I think Tad is right
about you.
I think you're addicted to him.
Liza: Stop saying that.
Dixie: Well, why not?
I mean, I should kick you down
some 12 steps, right?
Liza: Well, is your love
for Tad a disease?
You've been through far better
and far worse.
Dixie: You cannot compare me
and Tad to you and Adam.
Liza: No, because you know
what real love is.
Dixie: That's not what
I'm saying.
I'm saying I don't understand
how you can sit there and say
that you love him after
everything that he's done
to you, to your mother,
to Stuart.
How can you say you love him?
Liza: Welcome to my life.
Dixie: Liza,
you're a mom now.
All of your choices are supposed
to be about doing what's right
for your child.
Up until now, you've been doing
great by staying away from Adam.
Liza: Colby needs her father
just like Junior does, Dixie.
Dixie: What?
That is not what you were saying
in court.
Liza: You know, a lot
of things have changed.
I would like to see Adam just be
able to feel again.
Dixie: You are so on your own
with this, you know.
I know -- I want Junior to have
his father in his life,
but I'll wait till he's back
in the land of the living,
you know?
I'm going to go watch
the kids play.
Sorry.
Liza: Oh, wait.
Could you please
not say anything to Tad?
I mean, if he knows I slept
with Adam, it --
Dixie: You're kidding, right?
David: You seem very calm,
Leo, for someone who just
slipped the noose.
Leo: Well, I guess
that bullet wasn't meant for me.
Erica: How can you be
so cavalier?
You were charged with murder.
Leo: Past tense.
David: So Vanessa walking
doesn't bother you?
Leo: You're the one who
wanted revenge, David, not me.
David: Oh, I see.
You're above all that?
Leo: Ah, what do I care?
Mummsy will get hers
in the afterlife.
Erica: David?
David, I think that Leo is
in a state of emotional shock.
David: Oh, please.
He seems fine to me.
Erica: Well, he's covering.
I mean, discovering that
your mother is this person that
she is -- that is not easy
for him to digest.
I think it's going to be a long
time before he's standing
on solid ground.
David: Well, that sounds like
the voice of experience.
But your father was never
the monster that Vanessa is.
Erica: Oh, no?
Look,
we all have our monsters
that we have to deal with --
even you, David.
But I can't talk about this
right now.
I have a plane to catch.
David: Plane to catch?
Where are you going?
Erica: Oh.
Enchantment has business
in New York today.
David: You're going to trust
Leo to be here by himself?
Erica: Well, why shouldn't I?
I mean, you'll be here to keep
an eye on him.
David: Babysitting?
Wait a minute.
You're the one that invited
him here, not me.
Erica: Well, you're the one
who got exactly what you wanted.
Now he knows exactly what kind
of a person your mother is,
and he'll never be the same.
You deal with the fallout.
Jack, I have a plane to catch.
I have to leave for a while,
but I want to thank
you for everything.
Jack: No, no,
I want to thank you.
You do make life interesting.
And as for you, young man,
looks like everything's all
taken care of, huh?
Leo: Too bad you can't save
my public image.
Jack: Oh, I wouldn't worry
too much about that.
Almost everybody in Pine Valley
has a black eye over one thing
or another.
So welcome to the club.
Leo: Yeah, well, how many
have been accused of murder?
Jack: I've lost track.
Let's just say you're
in good company.
See you, Doc.
David: Yeah.
Is something funny?
Leo: Well, your secret's out,
Bro.
All this concern of yours --
it's garbage.
You couldn't care less
if I went to prison for murder.
Leo: This whole thing,
David, it's about you.
Paolo and Vanessa, nah.
It's all just a cover
for how much you miss
your suicidal daddy.
Ooh.
Did I touch a nerve?
David: I hated Vanessa ever
since what happened
to my father.
I never kept that a secret.
Leo: Yeah, and now you had
a chance to do something
about it, and I was your pawn.
David: Are you so brainwashed
that you can't see what
our mother really is?
Leo: Well, I see what
you are, how you can turn
your bitterness back on Vanessa.
But for what, David?
To honor your father's memory?
Way to go.
David: You know, I can't
believe that you're still
defending her.
Leo: I'm not!
You wanted me to see the light.
Well, I do.
I see the light,
and it's shining right on you
and her and everybody else
I'll never trust again.
Erica: Listen, I have a limo
waiting for me outside.
Are you two going to be
all right?
Leo: Well, yeah, if David can
come across with some spending
money.
David: We'll be fine.
Erica: All right.
I'll see you later.
David: Yeah.
Leo: Please tell me
this wasn't planned, David.
It's too obvious.
What, Erica conveniently
leaves us alone, and then, what,
now's the time when we come
together and bond?
David: I had no idea --
Leo: Turn against Vanessa?
David: I had no idea
that Erica was leaving town.
Leo: Oh -- you expect me
to believe that?
You're a control freak, David.
Starting now, those days
are over.
Palmer: Come on.
Oh, chop like you mean it,
woman!
Come on and stop whining.
Vanessa: What would you like
me to do, just cut off a finger?
Palmer: Well, make sure
it isn't the one with
the wedding ring on it, ok?
Vanessa: How many more?
Come on.
We've already cut up
a herd here.
Eliot: Now, what is the story
with this?
Brooke: Knowing Palmer,
Vanessa probably lost a bet.
Palmer: Oh, no, no, no, no.
Just get back there.
Go on.
Get back there.
Go on.
You're not finished yet.
Just trim the fat off those
thighs.
Eliot: Well, he seems to be
enjoying himself.
Brooke: Well, at least she's
suffering for a good cause.
Palmer: Put your back in it,
woman!
You know where the blade goes.
Greenlee: What's wrong?
Ryan: How can you possibly
read that to me?
Greenlee: I thought what
she said was nice.
Ryan: And pathetic.
Greenlee: No, it's not.
I thought that you felt
something for her.
Ryan: At first, yeah,
maybe, but come on, Greenlee.
It's obvious the woman's
a loser.
Greenlee: I don't see
her that way.
Ryan: Do me a favor
and respond for me.
Go ahead.
"Dear Cynthia,
Stop using this web site
as a singles' bar.
Your lame attempts to connect
with me are not working.
Please seek your dream
elsewhere.
And do yourself a favor
and get a life.
And do not contact me again."
Greenlee: That's harsh.
Ryan: Yeah, you're right.
You know what?
Don't bother telling her to get
a life because it's obvious
that she's a lost cause.
Greenlee: You should have
given her one last chance.
Ryan?
Dixie: Now, what is this,
Liza?
You sleeping with Adam is
supposed to be just between us
girls?
Liza: No, I just didn't want
Tad to know.
Dixie: Why?
Why?
So he wouldn't think that
you were cheating on him?
Liza: No, it not like that.
Dixie: Don't you realize that
I have spent my entire marriage
trying to convince Tad that
we're supposed to be honest
with each other no matter what?
Liza: I respect that.
Dixie: Then why do you want
me to keep your secrets?
Liza: I wanted --
I wanted to confide in you.
Dixie: Well, you're just
pulling us all into a whole
other mess of lies.
Liza: Ok, for Pete's sakes,
Dixie, then tell him.
Dixie: I can't tell him.
Do you know how he would go nuts
if he found out that you wanted
Adam back?
It would go against everything
I'm trying to put back together
with my family.
I would be just as stupid
as you if I told him.
Tad: Tell me what?
Tad: What's going on?
Liza: It's your call
I hope you have a good day
with your boys.
Tad: You going to tell me
what you were talking about,
or you want me to guess?
Is it about me?
Dixie: No!
It was -- about Adam, you know?
He's so depressed lately,
and he --
you know, Junior shouldn't be
around him right now.
Tad: Well,
honey, I got to tell you,
I agree.
I mean, you know my feelings.
I think everybody ought to stay
away from Adam for good,
especially Junior -- and Liza.
Leo: Let's see.
I wake up to Mummsy's
wicked ways, thanks to you.
And what, now I disown her,
right?
David: Sounds good to me.
Leo: Then Erica takes me
in and conveniently leaves us
alone so that we can discover
that we finally have something
in common --
our hatred for Mother.
David: That's not how
it happened, Leo.
Leo: Wasn't that what
you planned, David?
We're buddies now, right,
now that Vanessa's out
of the loop?
David: Well, it's a hell
of a lot better than
you spending the rest
of your life with your head
in the sand.
Leo: God.
You just don't get it, do you?
I didn't want to know the truth
about Vanessa.
But you fixed that.
David: I wanted you to think
for yourself, Leo.
Leo: No, you wanted me
to hate her as much as you do.
But you know what?
I feel sorry for her, David,
because she has a son like you.
It's you that I hate.
And nobody deserves it more.
Woodruff: I wanted to see
where all my money was going to.
Greenlee: Well,
incredibledreams.com is up
and running.
Woodruff: When am I going
to see some results?
Greenlee: Soon, grandfather.
We opened an office downtown.
Woodruff: Hmm, I heard.
Yeah, but I meant results
on the battlefield of love.
Greenlee: Hmm.
I've had a setback.
I thought that Cynthia would put
me over the top, but it didn't
work.
Woodruff: Who's Cynthia?
Greenlee: Never mind.
I'm still going
to make him mine.
That's all there is to it.
Ryan: Hi, Princess.
Gillian: Hey.
Ryan: Good news --
Greenlee is not going to be
using your journal anymore. I trashed Cynthia's last e-mail.
Gillian: And she didn't
suspect anything?
Ryan: No.
Gillian: Wow.
Ryan: What do you got there?
Gillian: Oh, it's a letter.
Ryan: What does he say?
Gillian: "Being in a war zone
puts so many things
into perspective.
It makes me grateful to be alive
and to have you in my life.
I want everything to be right
between us.
Whatever happens in the end,
I'm ready for what our next step
should be."
Ryan: He sounds stronger,
like maybe he's ready to accept
a divorce.
Gillian: Yeah.
Ryan: I don't want to push.
But maybe now is a --
a good time to write to him
and ask for one.
Gillian: I can't write him
a "Dear Jake" letter and ask
for a divorce.
It has to be in person.
Ryan: Does he say
when he's coming home?
Gillian: No, I'm not certain,
but when he does,
I can end this gently.
Ryan: It's your call.
Gillian: I just don't to feel
any more guilt.
Ryan: I understand.
Joe: Oh, nurse?
Ryan: That's Joe, Joe.
I love you.
Gillian: I love you, too.
Joe: Well,
looks like somebody's had
some good news.
Vanessa: All right,
Palmer, you have made
your point.
I repent.
I will never eat another piece
of chicken as long as I live.
Palmer: Your servitude
has just begun, my dear.
Vanessa: Palmer,
please let me go.
I have to find Leo.
He is devastated.
I've got to beg his forgiveness.
Palmer: Leo's in good hands.
Erica's home is quite
comfortable.
Vanessa: He's staying
with Erica?
[Palmer chuckles]
Vanessa: I don't believe it!
Palmer: Didn't I say
your life would be hell?
Chop, chop.
Chop, chop, chop, chop,
chop, chop, chop.
Ooh.
Tad: Come here for a sec.
You still seem like
you're upset.
Dixie: It -- it's nothing.
It's just Liza.
She weird me out.
Tad: Hmm.
Well, if I were you,
I'd shake it off because
the game's about to start.
I think the boys would be upset
if we're not there
for the first pitch.
Dixie: Oh, yeah,
you're right.
Why don't you go ahead?
I'll be the in a minute.
I'm just going to -- relax.
Tad: Got it.
Dixie: What are you doing here?
David: I was looking for you.
ON THE NEXT - - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
David: Don't go.
I want you here.
Erica: You're drunk.
Arlene: And you're a priss.
The difference is I'll be sober
in the morning.
Charlotte: Your wife
is very much alive.
Leo: Don't you touch me!
Don't you ever touch me again.
