Greenlee: Ok.
There we go.
Ah, and it's still foamy.
Yes!
Good morning.
Val: Thanks.
Greenlee: That's for Erica.
Val: Erica's in Manhattan.
She left this morning.
Greenlee: But I stopped
by the French bakery to pick
her up a chocolate croissant
and a cappuccino especially
for her.
Val: Oh, too bad.
You know, Erica left this
for you.
It's your to-do list.
Greenlee: Erica wants me
to enter her complete address
file into her computer?
Val: Mm-hmm.
It's fantastic, isn't it?
You know, I have been after
her to do this for years.
It's going to make my life
so much easier.
Greenlee: There's got to be
over 600 cards here.
Val: Tell me about it.
[Telephone rings]
Val: Erica Kane's office,
good morning.
Oh, no, she's not in.
May I take a message, or would
you like her voice mail?
Oh.
Ok.
Well, is that definite?
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
I'll let her know.
[Val sighs]
Greenlee: What?
Val: Isadora's Blush --
you know, that lingerie store
in the mall?
Greenlee: Mm-hmm.
Val: The store manager just
nixed Erica's proposal
for a promotional tie-in
with Enchantment.
Greenlee: I love that store!
And teaming up with
Enchantment's a fabulous idea.
Val: Yeah, well, not anymore.
Too bad.
Erica was really counting on it.
Oh, and a little word
of warning -- Erica has her own
filing system.
Greenlee: Great.
Greenlee: Hi, Grandaddy.
It's me.
I need to ask you a tiny favor.
Could you find out who owns
the mall?
Very funny.
If I owned the mall,
I wouldn't need to know,
now, would I?
Ok, I'm at Enchantment.
Ask for Erica Kane's office.
Thanks. You're a love.
Val: No, you can't go
in there.
She's not even here right now.
Vanessa: Oh, come on,
Val, relax.
I'll only be a moment.
Greenlee, dear.
Greenlee: It's ok, Val.
I can handle this.
Vanessa: Well, what are
you doing in Erica's office?
Greenlee: I work here.
What's your excuse?
Vanessa: Well, I have
a confession to make.
Adam: Whoa.
Whoa.
That's no way to start your day.
Just because you're not living
with your mother doesn't mean
you can have candy for
breakfast.
J.R.: Dad, I eat this all
the time.
Adam: Your mother knows this?
J.R.: Yeah.
Tad does, too.
It's his favorite breakfast.
Adam: Oh.
Well, I'll bet you're on top
of the world.
Final exam,
summer's almost here.
I lived for this when I was
your age.
J.R.: It doesn't feel all
that different -- I mean,
since I got suspended and all.
Adam: Yeah, I guess --
I guess not.
J.R.: Well, yeah.
I mean, it's not like I could do
anything other than study.
Adam: Hmm.
You know, we grounded
you for your own good.
You know that.
But as of today, it's lifted.
You can go on-line, you can go
to the mall, you can go back
to that band of yours.
J.R.: That's good
because I missed so many
rehearsals, they want
to replace me.
Adam: Replace you?
Why don't we replace them?
J.R.: I was thinking maybe
if I showed up to rehearsal this
afternoon that I'd be able
to stop them.
But I have community service
today.
I was thinking -- do you think
it'd be all right if I just
missed one?
Adam: Son, don't try
to con me.
You're way out of your league.
Tad: Listen to me, ok?
We have got to tell Jamie.
It's ridiculous.
All he ever does is ask me about
Laura -- you know, when is
she coming home, when can
he come and visit her.
It's -- it's getting out
of hand.
Brooke: I know, I know.
I know he misses her.
He's probably homesick
by now, too.
Tad: Well, I don't know about
that, thank God.
Opal's doing a pretty good job
of keeping him and Petey going
to movies and hopping between
restaurants.
Brooke: Thank God for Opal.
I know you're right, all right?
I know you're right.
I know -- you know, Jamie knows
that Laura has a heart
condition.
I know it's just a matter
of time until he finds out that
she needs a transplant.
Tad: And he's got to hear it
from us.
I mean, come on, we don't have
a choice.
If you want, we can tell him
together.
Brooke: Ok.
Just let me prepare Laura
first, ok?
Tad: Sure. Absolutely.
Brooke: Ok.
Tad: Sure.
Brooke: There's something
else that you should know, Tad.
Tad: About Laura?
Brooke: No, something I've
done.
David: Good morning, Brooke.
Tad.
Tad: What the hell is this?
Where's your little escort?
David: Oh, haven't you heard?
Brooke: I was just going
to tell him.
David: Oh, well, that's ok,
Brooke.
I'm happy to tell him.
Thanks to Brooke, I'm out
on bail.
Tad: You did what?
David: Don't be angry
with Brooke.
Brooke: I'll take it
from here, David.
Brooke: I spoke to Judge Stanton,
and I requested that
he reconsider letting David out
on bail.
Tad: Who posted it?
Brooke: I did.
I did it for Laura.
Tad: It's fine.
I --
I completely understand.
I'm sure that Dr. Hayward will
do everything he can
to save her.
Tad: It's ok.
It's all right.
Brooke: I was just in Laura's
room a little while ago.
She was asleep.
David: I'll go check on her.
Brooke: Ok.
Tad: Look, I don't care
if he is a brilliant doctor.
You know you cannot trust him
as far as you can throw him,
right?
Brooke: I have to trust him,
all right?
He's probably as guilty as sin.
Doesn't matter to me, Tad.
Keeping Laura alive -- that's
the only thing that matters
to me.
Tad: How much was his bail?
It must have been astronomical.
Brooke: I don't care,
you know?
He just has to take care
of Laura.
He can hop the first jet
to Bahrain for all I care.
The cost doesn't matter to me.
It is worth it.
Tad: You're right. I --
I'm sorry.
I don't want to be selfish. It's -- it's just --
Brooke: What?
Tad: Well, I have no idea how
J.R. is going to react when
he finds out that Hayward is out
of jail.
J.R.: Dad, I wasn't trying
to scam you or anything.
It's just that the band asked
three guys I know to show up
to rehearsal tonight.
And if I were there -- I don't
know -- it'd just be harder
for them to throw me out.
Adam: Hmm.
What kind of community service
project they have you lined up
for today?
J.R.: I don't know.
They want me to paint over some
graffitied wall next
to the library.
Adam: Well, that's -- that's
worthwhile.
J.R.: I guess.
Adam: Son, you realize that
community service is more than
a punishment.
It's -- it's doing something
positive for the community.
J.R.: Yeah, Dad, I know that.
But what if it's just the worst
day possible?
Adam: Hmm.
J.R.: I mean, it's not like
it's the only graffitied wall
in this whole town.
I'm sure I could reschedule
for next week or even tomorrow.
Adam: Well, that's true,
but you're dealing with
the legal system here.
But there might -- there might
be a way.
J.R.: For real?
Adam: Well, they want a wall
painted.
Who says you have to paint it?
Liza: I do.
Greenlee Mrs. Cortlandt,
I'm very busy.
Please get to the point so I can
get back to work.
Val, hold my calls.
Vanessa: Well, well,
right down to business.
Dear, I do admire that.
I hate people who beat around
the bush.
Greenlee: You're beating
around the bush.
Vanessa: Ok.
Ok, I did come here this morning
to see you.
Greenlee: Me?
How did you even know I was
here?
Vanessa: Oh, I overheard
Palmer talking to Erica.
Greenlee, I'm absolutely
devastated about you and Leo
breaking your engagement.
Greenlee: Take it up
in therapy.
Vanessa: Look, this whole
misunderstanding is my fault.
Leo wanted to tell you about
Katerina, but I persuaded him
not to, Darling.
You've got to believe me,
really.
Leo loves you even more than
I imagined.
Greenlee: Is this supposed
to make me feel better?
Vanessa: Well, it's
the truth.
Greenlee: That makes it
worse.
He couldn't even trust me
with the truth.
Vanessa: But he was
afraid -- I was afraid.
No, I was afraid.
I was afraid that his past would
destroy his future.
Greenlee: Mrs. Cortlandt,
Leo didn't tell me because
he never really believed in us.
Vanessa: But how could he?
He felt he had too much to lose.
Greenlee: So did I.
I beat myself up for not
trusting Leo, but my instincts
were right all along.
Vanessa: Well, that's
nonsense.
You know, if Roger hadn't
brought Katerina to your party,
you two would be married right
now, and happily married.
Greenlee: No, my father
brought Katerina to protect me.
He wanted me to see Leo for who
and what he is.
Vanessa: Oh, please.
Greenlee, do not be a simp,
please.
Your father is not
protecting you.
That is -- he's settling an old
score with me.
Greenlee: What score?
Vanessa: Oh, your father
and I go way back.
We had a fling all the way
from Acapulco to Vancouver.
Greenlee: Please, no details!
Vanessa: No, no.
Suffice it to say -- see,
I left him, so now he's finally
found a way to get back at me.
Greenlee: So this is all
about you?
Vanessa: Greenlee,
I need you to talk to Leo.
Greenlee: Not going
to happen.
Vanessa: But I'm really
worried about him.
He's self-destructing.
Greenlee: Is Leo in some kind
of trouble?
Vanessa: He has rebounded
completely to this Laura
English.
I mean, she's back in
the hospital languishing about.
And she certainly knows how
to use it to her advantage,
let me tell you.
I mean, I don't even know what's
really wrong with the girl,
but Leo is in tow every single
second.
I mean, and she's strong enough
to wrap her lips around his,
although I wouldn't call it
a particularly passionate --
Greenlee: Stop!
That's enough.
Vanessa: You're the only one
that can stop this train wreck,
my dear.
I mean, Leo needs you.
Jake: Ahem.
Your assistant said I could come
right in.
Greenlee: Of course you can.
You can interrupt me anytime.
You know that.
Vanessa was just on her way out.
Vanessa: Well, actually,
I -- I wasn't.
Could you come back later, Jake?
Jake: Well, actually,
I can't.
It's urgent.
Vanessa: Greenlee, we really
need to continue.
Greenlee: No, I think we've
said it all.
Jake: Well, it's nice to see
you again, Vanessa.
I'll walk you --
Vanessa: Thank you.
Jake: Out?
Jake: So what was that about?
She starting to pressure
you about Leo?
Greenlee: Doesn't matter.
It's over.
Jake: No, no.
She upset you.
Greenlee: She upset me?
Please.
But aren't you sweet to drop
by on my day two.
Look at all this hard work --
grunt work and I'm not even
grunting.
Jake: Yeah, well,
actually, I didn't come by to be
sweet.
I came by to wring your neck.
Greenlee: What'd I do now?
Jake: You took my key ring,
the one that has my front-door
key and my car key on it.
Greenlee: No, I didn't.
Jake: Well, it was
on the counter this morning,
and a funny thing happened -- it
mysteriously disappeared after
you left the loft.
Greenlee: Oh, are you sure?
Maybe you left it at
the hospital.
Jake: No, no, no.
Because, see, I drove home
and I opened up the front door.
So why don't you check
your purse.
Greenlee: You know,
you're so quick to blame me all
the time.
You're always blaming me.
What would happen if you lived
alone?
See, these are my keys.
Jake: Aha! My key.
Greenlee: Oh.
I guess I was a little
preoccupied this morning.
Jake: Just like I thought.
You know what?
I had to run five miles just
to get here.
Anyway, thank goodness I didn't
have to go in to work until
later.
Greenlee: Oh, then you can
help me brainstorm for our next
promotional campaign.
Jake: No, I can't.
No, because thanks to you,
I have to run the five miles
back to the house and then take
a shower.
Greenlee: Oh.
Well, would you like me to call
you a car?
Jake: No.
No, no.
I'll just take the bus.
Greenlee: Hey, I heard Laura
was back in the hospital.
What's the deal with her anyway?
Is she really that sick?
Jake: Greenlee, you know that
I can't go discussing patients.
Greenlee: Well, something
must be wrong.
I mean, you know, you don't go
to hospitals for fun unless --
she's not having work done,
is she?
Jake: Good-bye, Greenlee.
[Intercom beeps]
Greenlee: Yes?
Oh, thanks, Val.
Grandaddy, what'd you find out?
You're kidding.
Chandler Enterprises?
How convenient.
No, no, no, no, I can take it
from here.
Thank you so much.
Smooches.
All right.
Chandler Enterprises.
Chandler --
Greenlee: Tad Martin, please.
Well, find him and tell him that
Erica Kane wants to meet him --
say, half an hour at
the Valley Inn dining room?
Of course it's important.
Why else would I ask?
Adam: Uh -- no, no.
J.R.'S band has threatened
to throw him out because he's
missed so many rehearsals,
and we were just trying
to figure out a way to keep
his spot, that's all.
Liza: So you were thinking
about blowing off court-ordered
community service in order to go
to band practice?
Is that it?
Adam: Well -- well,
when you put it like that,
it sounds so --
Liza: Juvenile?
J.R.: Liza, I wasn't even
talking to you.
Liza: No, no, I just happened
to walk in when he was talking
about getting you out
of community service,
which would be wrong.
Don't you agree?
Adam: Oh, yes, absolutely. That would be wrong.
You're absolutely right.
Let that be a lesson to you,
son -- marry a smart woman.
Uh, you ok with this?
J.R.: Yeah, I guess.
You got to do what you got
to do.
[Telephone rings]
Adam: Yeah. Adam Chandler.
Oh, yes.
I'll -- I'll be in my study.
Liza: Summer's almost here.
You must be happy about that.
J.R.: Mm-hmm.
Liza: I know your mother will
probably be very happy.
With you two free, I'm sure
you'll get to spend some more
time together.
J.R.: I don't know about
that.
Liza: I don't know.
I know that she misses you very
much.
J.R.: Whatever.
Liza: No.
Not "whatever."
You know, your mother loves
you and she's very hurt.
And I know that you're upset
about David Hayward and --
and yet, he's out of
the picture.
Don't you think you might be
able to give her a little slack?
Brooke: David?
David: Yeah?
Brooke: Was Laura awake?
David: Yeah, she was.
She was awake and she was
hungry.
Brooke: Oh, good.
David: Yeah.
Brooke: Good.
Her appetite's back.
That's -- that's positive.
David: I agree.
That's why I'm hopeful that
we can have her out of here.
Brooke: You really think that
she could go home?
David: Well, I'm thinking
that it might improve
her spirits, and we need
everything working for us
right now.
I also want to check
with the transplant center
and see what the status is.
Brooke: David,
I fully expect you to come
through for us.
David: I'll do everything
I can, Brooke.
Brooke: That's all I can ask.
Excuse me.
David: Yeah -- Joe.
Joe: We need to get a few
things straight, Doctor.
Liza: You're leaving?
J.R.: Yeah.
Liza: You know, I hope that
you'll think about what I said
about seeing your mom.
I know that she misses you.
You know, if Colby and I ever
had a falling-out, it would just
break my heart.
J.R.: I guess I won't have
to worry about David Hayward
and my mom again, now that he's
going to be behind bars.
Liza: No, you don't.
So do you think you might give
her a chance?
Adam: J.R., forget about
David Hayward.
Your mother knows she made
a huge mistake with that man.
J.R.: Right.
Well, I got to go.
Liza: We'll see you.
Adam: So, why are
you encouraging J.R. to spend
more time with Dixie?
Liza: She's his mother.
Adam: Did Dixie put you up
to this?
Liza: What?
No.
Anybody can see that the kid is
crying out for help.
Adam: Oh.
So you're a child
psychologist now?
Liza: You know, I don't need
a degree to see that the boy is
a wreck.
Adam: Oh, come on,
he's a teenager.
I was a hell raiser,
too, when I was his age.
Liza: Are you deliberately
trying to be naive, or do
you think I am?
J.R. is in trouble and he needs
both his parents, especially
his mother, after what's
happened.
If they could reconcile
their relationship, they might
start to heal.
Adam: Liza, whose side are
you on, anyway?
David: You can relax, Joe.
I haven't made a jailbreak.
I've been released.
Joe: Yes, I've heard that.
I know you got Brooke to put up
your bail and to vouch
for you personally.
David: Well, news travels
fast.
Joe: Yeah.
Let's be clear about one
thing -- Brooke did what she did
for the best possible reason.
Do not give her cause
to regret it.
David: Brooke has faith
in me, Joe.
I intend to live up to it.
Joe: I'm glad to hear it.
But do remember your contract
with this hospital has been
canceled.
You are here for one reason
only -- to treat Laura English.
I mean, if you hear a patient
sneeze, you don't so much as say
"God bless you."
You got that?
David: Loud and clear.
Joe: Yeah. Good.
I kept you on, David,
because you've been able to save
lives.
But really, you've been more
trouble than you've been worth.
David: Oh, come on, Joe.
Let's not forget all the grants
that I've brought to this
hospital.
Joe: Oh, but that's not all
you brought, is it?
You know, I've actually been
forced to defend you,
trying to put a stop to all
these lawsuits you've also
brought with you.
David: Well, thank
you for making me feel
so at home.
Joe: Well, there's more,
and I want you to be clear about
this, as well.
You no longer have an office.
Your computer password has been
deleted.
If you need to log-on, you'll be
given a temporary one.
David: I know why you're
doing this.
Joe: Yes.
I am doing it to set the ground
rules.
David: Oh, yes, and you're
enjoying yourself immensely.
Joe: Do you really expect me
to keep you on after all
the scandal you've brought
to this hospital?
David: Come on, now, Joe.
Even then it had nothing to do
with your precious hospital.
You wanted me out of here
because I broke up your son's
marriage.
Greenlee: Tad, hi.
Come, have a seat.
Tad: Greenlee, what
the hell's going on?
Is Erica running late?
Greenlee: No.
Actually, Erica won't be
making it.
She's in New York.
Tad: How could that be?
My secretary just called me
and told me her secretary told
her to tell me to meet her here.
I mean, did she get the message
wrong?
Greenlee: No.
No, she didn't.
I told your secretary that I was
Erica.
I set up the meeting.
Tad: You did what?
Greenlee: Listen, listen.
Just hear me out, ok?
Ok, I have a win-win proposition
for Chandler Enterprises
and Enchantment.
Tad: I don't care.
I'm not interested.
Greenlee: Tad, please don't
make me wrap myself around
your leg right here
in the Valley Inn restaurant,
because I swear I'll do it.
Tad: You got five minutes.
Greenlee: You won't be sorry. Erica has a fabulous idea to tie
in Isadora's Blush --
the lingerie store at
the mall -- and some
of Enchantment's products.
She wants to launch a whole
promotional campaign around it.
But the store's manager is
somewhat reluctant.
Tad: What does this remotely
have to do with me?
Greenlee: Well, it has to do
with Chandler Enterprises.
Then I got to thinking,
what if we make the entire mall
a test site?
Tad: Greenlee, Chandler
Enterprises leases space
to the stores.
We don't own them.
We can't dictate terms that are
advertising or promotion
departments.
Greenlee: But certainly
you could recommend that
the stores go along with us. You've got some pull.
Tad: Yeah, well,
even if I had, I wouldn't
use it.
What you're describing is
a perfect bureaucratic
nightmare, and it's totally
redundant.
Any customer in the mall can get
whatever they want at
the cosmetics counter at Lacy's,
which, by the way, happens to be
right next door.
So if you don't mind,
I don't like people wasting
my time.
Greenlee: Wait! Wait!
Would you at least lean
on Isadora?
Tad: Only if I were tired.
Greenlee: Tad, this is really
important to me, and I will not
take no for an answer.
Tad: You know, I can see what
Jake means about you.
Greenlee: What?
Jake's been talking about me?
Tad: Yeah, only long enough
to relate the fact that you want
what you want whenever
you want it.
Doesn't matter what anybody else
needs, and you can't comprehend
the word "no."
Greenlee: Well, he's right.
So what do you say?
Tad: Unbelievable.
You got guts, I got to give that
to you.
But, you know, then again,
you'd have to if you're living
with Jake.
Seriously.
Greenlee: What's that
supposed to mean?
Tad: You know -- about
his problem?
He didn't say anything to you?
Oh, my God.
Ok, never mind.
Greenlee: What problem?
Tad: No, no, no, no.
Forget it.
Forget I mentioned anything.
It was a mistake.
Oh, my God, look, it's June
already.
Got to go.
Greenlee: No, you are not
leaving this table until
you tell me everything.
Liza I'm not choosing sides.
This isn't a game of volleyball.
Adam: Do you believe J.R. is
better off with Dixie?
Liza: I believe he's better
off with both his parents.
But, truth be told, he grew up
with Dixie.
Adam: Well, she blew that
right out from under him,
didn't she?
Liza: Oh, and you've never
blown it?
Adam: You're defending Dixie?
Liza: I don't believe this.
Less than an hour ago,
I walked in this room
and you were trying
to deep-pocket J.R.'s community
service.
Now you're throwing stones
at his mother.
Adam: No, I acknowledged that
was not the way to go.
There'd probably be someone
checking up on him, anyway.
Liza: It's wrong,
period, regardless of somebody
checking up on him.
Adam: J.R.'s self-esteem has
taken a beating.
He loves that band.
He does not need to lose
that now.
I think if he gets back
with them, then maybe things
will get back to normal for him.
Liza: Right.
That's why you offered to build
him a recording studio here
on your property.
That's so close to normal.
Adam: You don't think
I should be supporting my son's
interests?
Liza: Oh, it's all
or nothing, right?
Adam: I don't understand what
you're saying.
Liza: How many of his soccer
games have you attended?
Adam: A few.
Liza: One.
And did you go to the high
school to see his
self-esteem-building band
perform?
Adam: I didn't know anything
about that until after it was
over.
Liza: Mm-hmm.
Adam: What the -- what are
you doing here?
What is this, some sort of --
are you running a tab?
Is this some sort of a --
a fatherhood balance sheet?
Liza, I love my children.
You know what I want is what's
best for them.
Liza: No, I know that's
the battle cry.
That's what your kids say
as they're recovering
from your well-intentioned
disasters.
Adam: My children know that
I would never intentionally do
anything to hurt them.
Liza: Right, that's why
you can't get near Hayley until
after she gives birth
to the baby.
I'm sorry, it shouldn't have
come out that way.
Adam: No, no, no, no.
By all means, come on, say what
you think.
Liza: I know you love
your kids.
There is no question that
J.R. is in trouble.
He needs both his parents,
and he needs for you to loosen
the reigns, not try to be
in control when you should just
let it go.
Not try to quick-fix
his problems when he should be
examining them.
Adam: Yeah.
Did you get this off of a TV
talk show or something?
Liza: No, don't do that!
Don't dismiss me!
This is what I was afraid of.
Adam: Oh.
Oh, now -- now it comes out.
Liza: Everybody says "oh,
he's changed," and I pray it's
true.
Adam: I do change.
Liza: I know you do.
You have.
We have changed in the way
we relate to one another.
But Colby and J.R. --
They are your children.
They cannot afford your
mistakes.
Adam: For God's sake.
You're telling me I'm a terrible
father.
Joe: Asking for your
resignation had nothing to do
with any personal reason.
It had everything to do
with the welfare of
our patients.
David: Do you honestly expect
me to believe that Tad and Dixie
didn't factor into your decision
at all?
Joe: I am not going
to discuss my son or his wife
with you.
And as for what you believe,
I really don't give a damn!
Vanessa: David.
There you are.
Are you enjoying your freedom?
Oh, wait till your brother
hears.
Or have you already spoken
to Leo?
David: No.
No, I haven't seen him yet.
Vanessa: Well, it's only
a matter of time.
He seems to be hanging around
that English girl constantly
these days.
David: Is there something
you want, Vanessa?
Vanessa: Well, other than
a bottle of champagne
to celebrate your release --
David: Yeah, well, you can
hold the celebration.
This is a temporary stay.
I still have to face the trial.
Vanessa: Well, all the more
reason to celebrate while
you still have a chance, huh?
David: Vanessa, what are
you trying to do?
You trying to get in my good
graces, is that it?
Vanessa: Oh --
David: You can forget it.
I've already revoked your power
of attorney.
If you'll excuse me,
I have a lot of things
on my mind.
Vanessa: What?
Like Dixie Martin?
David: Mother, don't even
start with me about that.
Vanessa: But, David, she is
the reason I can't get Palmer
to put together a dream team
for your trial.
Now, he's never going to forgive
you for this obsession.
David: Well, Palmer can go
to hell.
And so can everybody else
in this one-doctor town.
Vanessa: David, you have
to stay away from Dixie.
Now, promise me.
David: Look, I have a very
important phone call to make
right now, all right?
Vanessa: David, you have
gotten over her, haven't you?
Palmer tells me that Dixie
and Tad are reconciling.
David: Has Tad moved back
in with her?
You can tell me, Vanessa.
I won't go over there and scream
her name in the streets,
I promise.
Vanessa: Well, she wouldn't
be there even if you did.
David: What is that supposed
to mean?
Did she leave town?
Vanessa: No.
She's back at work.
David: You mean here,
in the hospital?
Vanessa: No.
She is not playing doctor
anymore.
She's playing school --
Pine Valley High.
Tad: Hey, hey.
Just relax, ok?
Look, I love my brother very
much, and he's a very,
very private person.
He would die of embarrassment
if he knew that I dropped
the ball.
So, please, let's just forget
about it.
Greenlee: What is it?
Some kind of problem?
I mean, Tad, you can tell me.
We're friends.
Tad: It doesn't matter.
It's not the kind of problem
that a friend can fix.
Greenlee: It's that serious?
Tad: Yeah.
Greenlee: Does it have to do
with his injury in Chechnya?
I mean, I thought he was all
cured.
Come to think of it,
that Dr. Drawbridge hasn't been
around, lately.
Tad: Trowbridge.
And, yes, he is absolutely
cured, thank God.
No, his problem has to do
with another kind of heat.
All right, let me put it this
way -- how's the apartment set
up for smoke detectors?
Greenlee: We've got a couple.
Tad: Yeah?
How about fire extinguishers?
Greenlee: Why are you asking
me this?
What's with the Smokey-The-Bear
routine?
Tad: All right, you're living
under the same roof,
so I suppose you have a right
to know.
Greenlee: Thank you.
I won't tell Jake.
Tad: Promise?
Greenlee: I --
Tad: Swear to --
Greenlee: Yes, yes, yes!
Of course, of course.
Tad: Jake --
Jake kind of sleepwalks.
Greenlee: I've never seen him
do that.
Tad: Yeah, well, that's good.
That's great.
Catch yourself lucky
because when he does, he tends
to light things on fire.
I'm not making this up.
You've been to our house.
Didn't you find it interesting
that there was one, if not two,
smoke detectors in every single
room?
Greenlee: No.
You're making this up, right?
Tad: Yeah, well, I'm making
this up.
You just remember something --
you did not hear it from me.
If you want some advice --
if I were you, I would change
the batteries every single month
and I would plan my escape
route.
Jake: Hey.
What are you two doing here?
Greenlee: Jake.
Vanessa: Uh, Brooke.
Brooke: Oh, Vanessa. Hi.
What are you doing here?
Is everything ok with Palmer?
Vanessa: Palmer?
Oh, yes, of course.
Palmer's a bull.
No, actually, I came here
because I wanted to thank
you in person for getting David
released from that horrible jail
cell.
Brooke: There's no need.
I did it for my daughter.
David's treating her.
Vanessa: Yes, I know, and I'm
so sorry that Laura's sick.
I've had heart irregularities
myself.
I know how terrifying it can be.
Brooke: Yes.
Will you excuse me?
I need to call my office.
Vanessa: But, you know,
I was wondering you know --
have you noticed that my younger
son and your daughter have
become so close?
I mean, I can't turn around when
he's right at Laura's doorstep
every minute.
Brooke: Is that a problem
for you?
Vanessa: No, of course not.
I was -- I was kind of wondering
when it all happened.
I mean, after all, Greenlee
and Leo were engaged.
They just broke up.
I --
Brooke: Yes, well,
Laura and Leo have been friends
for a long time.
And as far as I know,
that's the extent of it.
You'll excuse me, I really need
to call my office.
Vanessa: Oh, sure.
Liza: Stop being
so defensive.
I'm not accusing you of being
a bad father.
Adam: That's exactly what
you're doing, despite all
your heartfelt pleas about how
much my children need me.
Liza: They do need you.
They need you at your best.
Adam: I am who I am.
Liza: You need to be better.
You can be better.
Colby has you wrapped around
her little finger.
Adam: Oh, unthinkable --
a man melting over his infant
daughter.
Liza: You know, you can make
light of this.
I'm not laughing.
This latest incident
with J.R. -- J.R. is in trouble.
And you haven't learned.
You're repeating the same
mistakes with J.R.
You're continuing them,
and I won't let it happen
with Colby.
Adam: Are you threatening me,
Liza?
Liza: I came back to this
marriage with my eyes open.
And I love you with all
my heart, but you make it
impossible.
Adam: No, no, no, no.
Stop right there.
You're blowing this all out
of proportion.
Liza: No, I'm not blowing it
out of proportion, not where
my daughter is concerned.
Adam: She's my daughter, too.
Liza: Yes. Yes.
But where Colby is concerned,
if you try these old tricks
of yours, I guarantee
you we will have a war.
This house will be
a battlefield.
Mr. St. Clair: May I help
you?
Do you have a visitor's pass?
David: Oh, uh -- no.
I'm looking for one
of your teachers, Ms. Dixie
Martin?
Mr. St. Clair: Mrs. Martin
isn't in school today,
Dr. Hayward.
David: Oh.
So you know me?
Mr. St. Clair: Yeah,
I do indeed.
Now, would you like to leave
a message in her mailbox?
David: No, thank you.
Mr. St. Clair: Uh-huh.
You have to leave now.
David: Oh --
J.R.: Sorry.
Jake: So, what's up
with you two?
Tad: Nothing.
Not a thing.
We were just discussing some
Enchantment business.
Greenlee: And you.
Tad: Were your ears burning?
Jake: No.
Should they have been?
Tad: No, no.
Seriously, it's nothing.
Nothing at all.
What's with your finger?
Jake: Oh, it's nothing
at all.
I just burned it last night.
Greenlee: I got to get back
to the office.
You're going to be at work
tonight, right?
Jake: Yeah, yeah, so I'll
see --
Greenlee: Good, good.
I mean, have a good day.
Jake: Yeah.
Jake: What did you do?
Tad: I'll tell you what
I did.
You owe me, little brother.
I just solved your roommate
problem.
Jake: What did you say
to her?
Tad: Let's just say
I inspired her to find a new
place to live.
Jake: What, you said
something so she'd move out?
Tad: Yeah.
Jake: You have no right
messing with my life like that.
Tad: Messing with your life?
What are you telling me,
that you don't want
her to leave?
ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
David: This is none
of your business.
Marcus: Yeah, well, he thinks
it is, man.
So what are you going to do
about it?
Jake: You can take that back,
or I'm going to cut
you with a butter knife.
Greenlee: If you don't help
me, I'll die.
Woman: Security!
