Ryan: Hey.
Gillian: Hey.
Ryan: You're here a little
early to party.
Gillian: Oh, I'm just meeting
someone.
I'm meeting --
Ryan: No, no, it's
none of my business.
Gillian: All right, I'll just
wait over there.
Ryan: Gillian?
I've been meaning ask you,
how's your Grandmama?
Gillian: Oh, she's well.
She's really well.
I just saw her today.
And she's really enjoying
the book you gave her.
She'll write you a note to say
thank you.
Thank you.
Ryan: I know how much
she loves romance novels.
I used to tell her that
I thought she could probably
write one of her own.
Trevor: Hey, thanks
for meeting me here.
Sorry I'm late.
I've been running late all day.
Gillian: Is there a problem
with our documents?
Trevor: You tell me.
Ryan: So
it's official?
Gillian: We're divorced now?
Trevor: I did what you wanted
me to do.
Well, I guess that's it.
Unless either of you has
something you want to get off
your chest, maybe?
Mateo: Happy birthday.
Hayley: You didn't forget.
Your 25th birthday?
Come on.
You think I'd forget that?
You want to open up
your presents?
Adam: "Happy 25th birthday,
Hayley."
Liza: Mm-hmm.
The filling is chocolate
pudding -- Hayley's favorite.
Adam: How do you know that?
Liza: I remembered
from another party.
Adam: Why don't I know that?
Liza: Well, I think that's
why you have a wife, Adam.
Adam: Well, I don't guess
it's that big a deal, but it
would be nice if her father knew
her favorite cake, her favorite
movie, her favorite singing
group.
Liza: Adam, Hayley is
25 years old.
I don't think she has a favorite
singing group.
Adam: Well, that's my point
entirely.
I never knew Hayley when she was
this age.
Do you realize how much agony could have been avoided
if she had a father who loved
her, who protected her,
made her feel safe?
Liza: You're in her life now.
I don't think that she blames
you for not being in her past.
Adam: Well, the present
becomes the past all too
quickly.
Colby will be grown-up before
we know it.
Liza: Adam, she hasn't even
said her first word yet.
Adam: Well, it will happen.
Faster than you can ever
imagine.
Thank God Hayley's forgiven me
for not being a very good
father.
I wonder if Colby will ever
forgive --
[Knock on door]
Adam: Hello, Jake.
Jake: Hello, hello.
Is my date ready?
Liza: Oh, just about.
Jake: Give Hayley my love.
Tell her 25 is a great year.
Adam: Will do.
Jake: All right.
Sorry I can't make the surprise
party, but -- well, no, I'm not.
Look at her.
I'm looking forward to spending
time with her.
Liza: Well, I'll tell
you something.
I am going to be suffering some
major separation anxiety.
Adam: Well, there's no need.
She will be in very capable
hands.
Jake: Thank you.
Adam: Thank you, Jake.
I'm very happy that Colby has
somebody in her life that loves
her so much.
Jake: The feeling's mutual.
You guys don't mind if I take
her over to Tad and Dixie's,
do you?
Adam: No, no, no, no.
I want Junior to get
to know her.
Liza: Ok, well, here's
the lady in question.
Jake: Oh, here she is.
We're going to have some fun
tonight.
Liza: Oh, oh, oh, and here's
everything else.
Here's the bag.
Jake: Oh, yeah.
Liza: Ok, got that?
Jake: Oh, sure.
Liza: Oh, and numbers.
Jake: Numbers -- cell phone,
the club, and pine valley
hospital.
Liza: Yeah, you probably
already know that one.
Jake: Oh, I think so.
I got the car seat out
in the car already.
Now, are you going to be able
to think about anything else
tonight but your little girl?
Adam: Yes, she will.
Yes, she will.
You and Colby have fun.
Jake: Oh, we're going to have
lots of fun.
And you guys do, too.
All right?
Liza: Ok, thanks.
Jake: See you later.
Bye-bye.
She says bye.
Adam: Bye-bye.
Liza: You were very generous
with Jake.
Adam: It's all for Colby's
sake.
Liza: Yeah, I know.
You know, I don't think that
you need to worry about Colby's
love for you because she's going
to know what a great father
you are.
And she's going to know that
you changed your life just
because you loved her.
Adam: Well, she's going
to know I love her.
I'm not sure she'll ever know --
Liza: What?
What does she need to know?
Adam: Liza, there's so much
I want to say to you.
Tad: You know, I could get
used to this.
Dixie: Me, too.
Do you like the pillowcases
I bought?
Tad: Yeah.
What's not to like?
They're soft as a baby's bottom.
[Dixie remembers talking to Jake]
Dixie: Then why did I faint
more than once?
I mean, there has to be
a reason, Jake.
Don't te me this means days
of testing.
Jake: No.
No.
This means that you're pregnant.
Dixie: Oh.
This is so great.
I'm going to have a baby.
Oh, come on, a baby changes
everything.
Jake: Not really.
You still have one kidney.
You still have a history
of heart disease.
Dixie: Oh, come on, Jake.
I mean, I'm going to be fine.
Jake: I know you want
to believe that, and I want
to believe that, too.
But, Dixie, there are very
substantial risks in this
situation for both you
and the baby.
Dixie: Are you saying that
you don't think I should have
this child?
Jake: Dixie, I can't make
that decision.
Dixie: Well, that's right,
you can't.
Jake: I just want you to be
aware of the toll that this is
going to take on you.
And please talk to Tad.
Dixie: I will.
I'll talk to Tad.
Tad: Are you happy?
Dixie: Yeah.
You?
Tad: Honey, if I was any
happier, it would hurt.
Bring it on.
We deserve it.
Well, you deserve it.
Dixie: Well, I think I've
thought of a way for us to be
happier than we already are.
Tad: Yeah?
Junior and Jamie: Let us in!
[Knock on door]
Dixie: Oh, the boys are home.
Junior: We've got really cool
stuff!
Tad: You think?
Ready?
Dixie: Yeah, yeah.
Tad: Ah!
Dixie: Hey!
Junior: Look what I got!
[Cymbals crash]
Tad and Dixie: Oh!
Junior: They're cymbals.
Dixie: Nice.
Not in the bedroom, though.
Junior: Aren't they awesome?
Dixie: Yeah.
Tad: Where did you get those?
Junior: At camp.
They let you check out
an instrument if you want to be
in the marching band.
Dixie: Oh, whoa, thank you.
Tad: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's the story?
Couldn't they interest
you in a piccolo, maybe,
or the triangle?
Junior: Yeah, right.
Tad: What's in the box?
A tuba?
Jamie: It's a frog.
Junior: Yeah.
He stole it from the
science lab.
Jamie: I didn't steal it.
I liberated it.
They were going to dissect it
tomorrow.
Dixie: Dissect it?
What kind of camp is this?
Tad: It's an educational
camp.
They do a lot more than just
play softball.
Dixie: Well, they can't
dissect a frog.
That's killing an innocent
little thing.
Tad: It's a frog.
Dixie: Look, honey, I think
you did the right thing.
You come to me tomorrow,
I'll write you a note, and we'll
pay for it.
Junior: They don't care.
They'll just get another one
at the pond tomorrow.
Jamie: Then I'll steal that
one, too.
Tad: "Liberate."
Dixie: Let me see the frog,
honey.
Let's see him.
Jamie: It's really beautiful.
It has diamond-shaped markings
on the top of its head and --
it's gone!
Dixie: It's gone?
Jamie: It must have
jumped out.
Tad: Terrific.
Junior: Look for it.
It's got to be here somewhere.
Tad: That's all we need.
All right, just stay calm.
Everybody fan out.
It's got to be someplace.
Dixie: Try under the bed.
It's probably, like,
right somewhere really close by.
Tad: Oh, there it is,
honey, right by your knee.
Dixie: Where? Ah!
Tad: Psych.
Dixie: Very funny.
Tad: I thought you liked
frogs.
Dixie: Hardy-har-har.
I do, but not on the bed.
[Frog croaks]
Junior: There it is!
Right there!
Jamie: Where?
Junior: Right by the door.
Jamie: There it goes!
Junior: Come on! Come on!
Tad: Outside!
Unbelievable.
Dixie: Well, gosh,
they'd better find that frog
before Jake gets here
with the baby.
Tad: Oh, they'll find it --
[cymbals crash]
Junior: Found it!
Tad: Oh, God.
False alarm.
Froggy's just fine.
[Dixie talking to her baby]
Dixie: Don't worry,
sweetie, we'll tell him tonight.
Mateo: Come on, you really
think I'd forget your birthday
when all day long all I do is
think about you?
Worry about you?
Hayley: Mateo, I don't want
you to worry about me.
Mateo: Do you really believe
that I wouldn't be upset about
this?
Hayley: Honey, I'm fine.
Mateo: No, you see, if you're
fine, you wouldn't be here.
Hayley: This is what I do
when I'm --
this is what I do in my regular
life.
You see, I lie and I tell
you everything's fine
and everything's ok.
And quite frankly, I'm very sad
and depressed and lonely.
And I can't lie about this
anymore.
Mateo: I lied to your dad
about where you were.
Listen, I don't want to tell
anybody, but how long can
we keep this to ourselves,
you know?
Hayley: Well, they warn
you in AA Not to keep any
secrets.
You know, this is the best place
for me to be right now,
is alone, here, sitting in this
room.
The safest place.
Mateo: Listen, I understand
you need to be strong
and you need to solve your own
problems.
But I don't think AA Tells
you to turn your back
on the people that love you.
Especially not the person who
loves you the most.
Hayley: No, it doesn't.
Mateo: Then come home
with me.
We'll solve this together,
Hayley.
All right?
Just you and me.
Liza: What are you so anxious
to tell me?
Adam: Well, I guess I'm
thinking about all my sins.
Liza: Oh.
Well, if you start now,
you might be finished
by the time Colby celebrates
her 25th -- if you talk fast.
Adam: My greatest sin,
the biggest failing of my life,
is fatherhood.
Skye, Hayley, Junior -- all
of them have suffered
because of my absence
and my neglect.
A point that everyone is willing
to point out to me,
including you.
Liza: Yes, I did.
But that was at a time when
I wasn't sure I wanted
you in my daughter's life.
And I don't feel that way
anymore because I see how much
you've changed.
You are truly the only father
that Colby needs.
Adam: If you really feel
that, then I have a confession
to make.
Liza: A confession?
Adam: I have a fantasy
that Colby is our child --
I mean, yours and mine alone.
Do you ever have that fantasy?
Liza: Well, without Jake,
we wouldn't have Colby.
And like you said, there are
so many other people who get
to love her.
But, yes, I have imagined that
if it was just you and Colby
and me, that it would be heaven.
Ryan: Well, thank you,
Trevor.
Gillian: Yes, thank you very
much.
I really appreciate what you've
done.
Trevor: You're welcome,
but that's not what
my intention was.
Look, I could have mailed
you these documents.
But I had to hand them
to you in person and see what
your reaction was in your eyes.
You two still love each other,
don't you?
Gillian: No, we wanted
a divorce, and we got one.
So, you know, this is final.
It's over.
Ryan: That's right,
it's final.
There's nothing else to talk
about.
Trevor: Well, according
to the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, yes,
your marriage is over.
But you two love each other
as much as you did five minutes
before I walked in here.
Ryan: The point is,
Trevor, is that we -- we have
to get on with our lives.
Trevor: Yeah, that's
my point, too.
On the other hand, these papers
can help you move on.
Just think of them as a divorce
from all the mistakes that
you two have made together,
all the unforgivable things that
you've done and said to each
other.
Just take all that, throw it
in a drawer, and fight like hell
for the love that you do have.
That's another way you can move
on this.
Well, that and "my bill's
in the mail" is all I'm going
to say on the matter.
Vanessa: I'm fine.
I'm fine.
You graciously invite me
to supper, and I end up weeping
all over.
Palmer: Well, we don't have
to talk about Erica.
Vanessa: No, no, we do.
You need her on your side.
You need her vote at that board
meeting.
Palmer: But not if it
upsets you.
Vanessa: It is just
so consummately sad.
There she is in Brazil,
facing one of the most traumatic
emotional experiences
of her life, and all alone.
Palmer: Let me assure you,
Erica will pass through this
with remarkable ease,
believe me.
Vanessa: Palmer, you have
no idea what a comfort you are
to me.
And not just about Erica.
I was thinking about what
you said about your son
and the problems you've had
with Ross.
Palmer: Yes. Yeah.
Vanessa: And you stood by him
through all of his troubles,
as a father should, and you have
made me realize that I must do
exactly the same for David.
I mean, no matter the
misunderstandings, the
misgivings, the hatred.
Palmer: No matter how much
they wrong us.
Vanessa: Right.
The parents have to have
unconditional love.
No matter the difficulties
they make in letting them
help us.
Palmer: You know, I have one
comfort.
Vanessa: Yes?
Palmer: Well, perhaps
eventually, perhaps after I've
gone, that they will come
to realize that I was right.
Vanessa: You --
Palmer: What? What?
Vanessa: You are so powerful.
And you have everything.
And yet, you know, the average
person on the outside looking
at you would never suspect that
your life could be so lonely.
Palmer: No.
You have no idea.
Vanessa: No,
but I can imagine.
Ryan: Lawyers.
Gillian: They love to talk.
Ryan: Yeah, they love to make
simple things complicated.
Gillian: But Trevor's a good
person, though.
Ryan: Yes.
Yes, he is.
He always gave me very good
advice.
Gillian: That's why I went
to him.
Ryan: For the divorce.
Gillian: Because I knew
he would give me good advice,
and that's just what he did.
Ryan: You think so?
Gillian: Don't you?
Ryan: Well, he said a lot
of things.
Gillian: Um --
do you think --
Ryan: Do I think what?
Gillian: Do you think it's
true that, you know,
divorced people could be
friends?
Ryan: Sure.
Yeah.
I mean, why not?
Gillian: Because, you know,
I would really like it
if we could still have
a conversation once in a while.
Ryan: As friends.
Gillian: Yeah, as friends.
Like me and Jake.
You know, we're just friends,
but we can have a good time.
Ryan: Yes, I've seen you.
Gillian: It's just
a coincidence that you work
here.
Ryan: Look, I'm glad
that you come here with him.
Gillian: You're glad?
Are you?
Ryan: Yes, yes.
I'm glad that you can have
a good time.
I really want that for you.
Gillian: I want that
for you, too.
Ryan: And now we can,
now that we're divorced.
Gillian: So you think that
we did the right thing?
Ryan: There was never any
doubt, was there?
Gillian: Well, here.
You know, you probably want this
back.
Ryan: Your medal?
Gillian: Yeah, it was
important to you.
Ryan: Yeah, but I --
Gillian: Maybe one day you'll
want to give it to somebody
else.
Ryan: I'd really like it
if you kept it.
Gillian: Ok.
Ryan: It's supposed to bring
good luck, and even though it
never really worked for me,
maybe it will for you.
Gillian: Yeah, maybe one day.
All right, yeah, I'd better go.
Ryan: Yeah, time to get
to work.
Gillian: No, I'm just going
home.
Ryan: No, I meant me -- here.
Gillian: Right.
It's that time for you.
Dixie: Hey, guys?
What's up?
Don't you want dessert?
Junior and Jamie: It got out
again.
Tad: What, the frog?
Dixie: How'd it get out?
Junior and Jamie: He opened
the box.
Dixie: Oh, all right,
all right.
We have to find it before Jake
gets over here with the baby.
It's not in the port-a-crib.
Did you look in the port-a-crib?
Jamie: Yeah, checked.
Junior: It's not in there.
Tad: Listen, you guys,
you know that Colby is very
small, very delicate, and things
like loud crashing cymbals
and slimy creatures jumping
in and out of cribs is not cool,
right?
Dixie: Yeah, and you know
that jumping around,
roughhousing is inappropriate
behavior around a baby?
You know that?
Junior: Yeah, we know how
to behave around a baby, Mom.
Dixie: Ok, good.
Glad to hear that.
Tad: Aha!
[Frog croaks]
Dixie: Tad -- oh!
Oh!
Tad: Somebody get the box.
Jamie: I got it, I got it.
Put it in, quick.
Junior: Come on, put it in.
Got it, got it.
Tad: I'm not going to get
warts, am I?
[Doorbell rings]
Jamie: That's just a myth.
Dixie: Great timing.
Junior: And if you do,
becca will cure them.
Dixie: Hi.
Jake: Hi.
How are you?
Dixie: Good. Good.
Jake: Yeah?
Dixie: Yeah.
Jake: Guys, come say hi
to Colby.
Junior: Hi, Colby.
Jamie: Hi, Colby.
Jake: Come on, she won't
bite.
Junior: Oh, man,
she's getting bigger than
before.
Jake: Oh, yeah, she's growing
every day.
Jamie: She's so cute.
Hey, Colby.
Jake: Yeah, she is.
Tad: May I?
Come to -- come on,
come to your little sugar daddy,
sweetheart.
Jake: Be very gentle,
sugar daddy.
Tad: Oh, you are such a good
baby.
Oh, yes.
Jake: All right,
watch yourself.
Tad: I know.
I've held a few before
in my life. I bought her a port-a-crib.
I hope she likes it.
Jake: Oh, cool.
Yeah.
Tad: Come with your
Uncle Thaddeus, yes.
Your sugar daddy.
Hey guys, come here and smell
the baby.
Junior: What?
Tad: Yeah.
All babies have this great baby
smell.
Jamie: Not always.
Tad: Come here.
Jake: You haven't told him,
have you?
Dixie, this pregnancy poses
a very serious health risk
to you.
You and tad need to discuss
your options as soon
as possible.
Dixie: I know, Jake.
I know, ok?
It's just been difficult to find
the right time.
Jake: You want me
to tell him?
I can --
Tad: Tell me what?
Dixie: Tell you what about
what?
Tad: What do you mean,
"what about what"?
I just heard him ask
you if you wanted him
to tell me.
Dixie: Oh.
Yes.
Jake was just saying that he --
thank you for the port-a-crib,
and I said, of course,
"you're welcome," but it's
your -- your idea, so he said
he'd thank you.
Jake: Mm-hmm.
Tad: You're welcome.
Jake: Well, thank you.
Go.
Leave.
You guys should get going.
You got to be in place to yell,
"Surprise, Surprise."
Tad: Surprise.
Dixie: Look, I promise, ok?
Tad: Ok.
Now, you guys remember what
we talked about, right?
Jamie: Yeah, don't worry.
Junior: Don't worry.
Tad: What time's bedtime?
Junior and Jamie: 10:00.
Tad: I saw that.
Jake: What?
Dixie: I left the number
for the bar on the table,
and you have Tad's cell phone
number, right?
Jake: Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Go.
Dixie: Ok.
Jake: Go, go.
You're going to be late.
Dixie: Bye, guys.
Jake: Bye-bye.
Jamie: Bye.
Dixie: See you later.
Junior: Bye.
Tad: You guys have a good
time.
Jake: Isn't she great?
Jamie: Does she ever sleep?
Jake: She sleeps all
the time.
You know, she has to get a lot
of sleep because all she does is
grow.
That's what she uses all
her energy for.
Jamie: Oh.
Well, then we won't be making
any loud noises or anything like
that.
Jake: Oh, good.
She'll appreciate that.
Junior: When does a baby girl
start acting like a girl?
Jake: What do you mean?
How do girls act?
Junior: Well, you know,
ting really loud noises.
Jamie: Or frogs.
Jake: Oh.
I don't know about the girls
you guys know, but Colby isn't
like that at all.
Junior: Really?
Jake: No.
Let me tell you a few things
about my little girl.
Adam: You and Colby and me.
Well, I know that's selfish.
But I don't want to share.
Liza: Oh.
Do you know what the best part
of my day is?
Adam: Well, the best part
of mine is at night when we go
into the nursery and finish up
our work.
Liza: Yeah.
And I'm on my laptop, and you're
muttering into that
tape recorder, and we can look
over at her and watch
her sleeping.
Adam: I feel like we're
in a one-room cabin deep
in the woods somewhere.
Liza: I think it's those
clouds that Stuart painted
on the ceiling.
It just feels like we're
in a spaceship or something,
just the three of us,
away from the entire world.
Adam: What if it could be
like that?
Really.
Liza: You know, I know that
you have this will of iron,
but I don't think that that's
going to happen.
In fact, I know it's impossible.
Adam: Yeah, but what if it
weren't impossible?
Liza: Adam, I don't want
to talk about it.
It's not fair.
Adam: To whom?
Liza: To Colby.
Adam: How so?
Liza: Because then we would
be wishing that she was
something that she's not.
And I don't want to change her,
not one little bit.
Adam: That's not what I'm
saying.
Liza: Well, if your fantasy
were true, would you love
her any less?
Would you love her any more?
Adam: No, no.
Of course not.
I can honestly say I would love
her exactly the same.
Liza: Well, I love my life.
I love my life just the way
it is.
And I love that she has all
these people who love her.
Now, we have to go because we're
going to be late for
the S.O.S. And we're bringing
everything.
So we have to go.
Adam: Yes, yes, go.
Of course.
Liza: Help me.
Adam: Oh.
Liza: You know, surprise
parties are a hassle,
but if you can pull them off,
they're pretty fantastic.
Adam: Yeah.
Liza: I can't wait to see
Hayley's face.
Adam: What is in here?
It's filled with chocolate lead.
Liza: Are you going
to make it?
Mateo: Listen, honey, I know
you're overwhelmed right now.
Ok?
But, see, I'm with you.
All right?
We're on the same page.
Ok?
Whatever you're doing here,
you can do at home, with me.
Hayley: Don't you know how
tempting it is for me to hear
that, that I can be at home
with you and you'll fix all
of this for me and --
oh, Mateo, it's everything
in my power not to jump
into your arms and let you take
care of this for me.
Mateo: Do it.
Come on.
I'm here.
Hayley: No.
Mateo, if I do that,
I'm finished.
The road to my sobriety --
I have to do it on my own.
Mateo: But why alone?
Hayley: Because that's how
I get drunk, Mateo.
You know, I can't go back
to living a normal life until
I stop feeling needy
and rejected, until I can laugh
again.
You know?
Until I can look across
the courtyard and see Max
and Raquel and not have all
of these pent- feelings,
these mean-spirited feelings
that I try to block out.
Mateo: I though I was doing
good ok?
I thought I was doing good
moving them across the courtyard
from us.
At least it was better than
living in the same place like
at Wildwind, ok?
But I told you, if you want me
to move them, I'll find another
place for them, somewhere else.
Hayley: Honey, don't you see
what I'm doing to you, you know?
I know how much you love me,
but how long do you think it'll
last like this, the way I make
you feel?
Mateo: You're not doing
anything to me.
I feel fine.
But we can -- we can survive
this, all right, but if we're
together.
Hayley: Not if I take
a drink, we can't survive this.
And that is why I need
you to go now.
Please, Mateo.
I need you to leave me alone.
Ok?
We can't be together now,
and when I'm well enough, we can
be together then.
I promise.
Mateo: What about work?
Well, I mean -- I guess I'll
just make a schedule so we don't
bump into each other then,
right?
Hayley: I don't know, Mateo.
I haven't really thought about
that, but I just need you to go
right now, please.
Please, Mateo, please.
Mateo: I just wanted
you to have a happy birthday.
Palmer: You have a delicious sense
of humor.
Vanessa: Well, I used to,
but I seem to have forgotten it
lately.
Palmer: Ah, well, we'll have
to do something about that,
won't we?
Vanessa: Oh!
Honestly, you are the kindest
person.
Palmer: Oh.
Vanessa: Oh, which reminds me
of why you invited me to supper
in the first place.
Now, here are the documents
from Enchantment that
you promised to deliver
to Erica.
Palmer: Mm-hmm.
Vanessa: And
this is a letter that I wrote
to Erica hoping to,
oh, dispel this rift we have
between us.
I have apologized for almost
everything I could think
of imaginable that could have
caused my grievous sin, but --
Palmer: And you think that
my ex-wife really had a hand
in making this rift.
I tell you --
Vanessa: No, no, no.
I don't blame Opal.
Please.
She loves Erica.
Palmer: That gargoyle is
incapable of love.
Compared to a lovely lady like
you, she couldn't --
Vanessa: No, no, no, no.
Please do not condemn Opal.
Now, look, once Erica reads
my letter, maybe her cold heart
will melt just a little.
I just wish I were so much
better at writing my feelings,
you know, but --
we're just going to hope
for the best.
Palmer: You're absolutely
right.
What good would a letter do?
You should express your feelings
in person.
Vanessa: Well, yes,
of course, but --
Palmer: Yes.
You should come with me
to Brazil.
Vanessa: With you?
Palmer: Well, in my jet,
of course.
And when Erica sees that
you traveled all that way,
why, then she'll realize
your true deep feelings for her.
Vanessa: Oh, why,
yes, but how can I accept such
a generous offer?
Palmer: Oh, please.
Come on.
No, no, I've --
I've taken a suite at the hotel
Copacabana.
Vanessa: I beg your pardon?
Palmer: What? What?
Vanessa: You've gotten
the wrong idea, Palmer.
I have no intention of sharing
a suite with you in Brazil
or anywhere else.
Palmer: Heavens.
I wasn't proposing anything
untoward.
Vanessa: No, let's just not
talk about it, please.
Palmer: Now, Vanessa, really.
That suite has five,
six bedrooms in it.
All right, all right.
I'll take another suite
on another floor if you prefer
that, really.
Vanessa: All right.
Perhaps --
Palmer: Well, really.
I mean, really --
Vanessa: No, no, no
look, Palmer, if I
misunderstood, I'm very,
very sorry.
It's just that
you know I'm a widow --
Palmer: Yeah.
Vanessa: And without means.
And I didn't want you to think
that my circumstances would lead
me into some shabby kind
of behavior.
Palmer: No, no, of
course not.
Of course not.
But, I mean, really.
I mean, to jump to that
conclusion -- a man of my age?
It's been -- well, quite some
time since I've entertained such
a thing.
Vanessa: Well, now you are
being disingenuous.
You are a very attractive man.
Palmer: No, no.
Vanessa: In fact, you remind
me of the time I went
on the date with -- oh.
Palmer: Who?
Come on.
Come on.
Vanessa: Well, all right.
It was back in my Hollywood
days, and the studio had set up
this date with Cary Grant.
Palmer: Ooh.
Vanessa: Now, he was much
older than I was, so I was
certain I wasn't going to be
tempted, you see.
But five minutes into that date,
I knew I was going to have
to use every ounce of control
I had in order to remain that
young lady my mother had raised
me to be.
Palmer: Did you succeed?
Vanessa: Ah.
What do you think?

Ryan: Hayley coming
in tonight?
Mateo: I don't know.
Ryan: Is she at home?
Can I call her there?
Mateo: Um --
she's not home.
Ryan: Well, do you know where
she left the payroll slips?
Mateo: Listen, listen,
listen.
No more questions, all right?
Just --
Ryan: Look, man, I'm just
trying to get some work done
here.
But believe me, if you don't
care, I don't care.
Mateo: Hayley moved out.
She moved out.
Ryan: Wait, wait.
You didn't just say Hayley
moved out.
Mateo: Yeah.
She almost took a drink,
and she's worried about
her sobriety.
So she wants to deal with it
on her own --
without me.
{Haley reading her birthday card}
Hayley: "Hayley, my love,
I know how hard it is to have
no one to hug during the long
nights."
Vanessa: Palmer,
you're so right.
Nothing's more important than
Erica's well-being at this
moment.
So thank you very much.
I would love to go to Brazil
with you.
Palmer: I thought I might be
able to persuade you.
All right.
Let's have a toast.
To Erica and her successful
operation.
Vanessa: Oh -- and
to Cortlandt Enterprises,
and long may it flourish
with its one and
only general.
Palmer: Now, if you'll excuse
me, I have to make our
accommodations.
Hmm?
What?
What?
Vanessa: Just a moment.
Please?
Right here.
You have a tiny little bit
of creme brulee right there,
and I don't like to stand
on ceremony, so --
Palmer: No, I don't mind
at all.
Vanessa: He has his own
teeth.
God is good.
Jake: So you see,
men, there's not a whole lot
of things that boys can do that
girls can't.
But you guys probably already
know that, right?
Junior: Well, I know some
girls that do what boys do.
Jake: Yeah?
Well, Colby is one of those
girls.
In fact, you guys better
watch out.
In a few years, she'll probably
wipe the floor with you two.
Junior: Well, you're her dad.
You're prejudiced.
Jake: Well, maybe just
a little bit.
Jamie: Hey, you're her dad
and my dad's her uncle.
So I'm her cousin.
Junior: And I'm her
stepbrother.
Jamie: We'll never have any
real relatives together.
Junior: Well, we would
if we had a baby sister
of our own.
Jamie: No way!
Junior: Well, she'd be
our half sister, and she'd be
the only one in the family who'd
be a blood relative to all four
of us.
She'd make us a real family.
Jamie: Yeah, but we're not
going to have a new baby
brother or sister.
Junior: Why not?
Your dad and my mom are married.
It could happen.

Trevor: I love surprise
parties.
They're a lot of work to put
together, but the look
on people's faces --
Liza: You know, I said
the same thing.
Trevor: What?
You did not.
Liza: I did, too.
What are you doing with that
spoon?
Janet: Hey, Gillian.
Gillian: Hey!
Janet: How are you doing?
Gillian: I'm great,
thank you to your wonderful
husband.
Trevor: Oh, hey, hey.
Mateo: Hey, guys.
What's going on?
Liza: Oh, we're here
to surprise Hayley for
her birthday.
Adam: How soon do you think
she'll be here?
Mateo: Um, Adam --
Gillian: Oh, she should be
coming in about now.
Mateo: Uh --
Janet: Hey, she coming now.
Trevor: Here she is!
Here she is!
Here she is!
Come on, come on, come on!
Adam: Everybody up here.
All: Surprise!
Gillian: Happy birthday!
Adam: Happy birthday!
