ALL MY CHILDREN

MARCH 13, 2000



Guy: "Have been hired to help the subject train horse. Scorpio."
Alex: Oh, hi.
Guy: Hi.
Alex: What are you working on?
Guy: It's a -- training schedule for Scorpio and -- and you.
Alex: Oh, you're kidding. Let me see.

Hayley: I'm up.
Janet: Oh. I didn't know you were there.
Hayley: I'm working. I was -- I was trying to work. I just -- I didn't get much sleep last night.
Janet: Upset about testifying against your father? What did you say?
Hayley: I just -- you know -- told them that I -- I do believe that Adam really loves all of his kids.
Janet: Well, it sounds like a fair answer.
Hayley: Ah, well, not when that lawyer Leslie Coulson got finished with it. She even brought up that whole mess about, you know, Adam trying to influence the judge to give Mateo and me custody of Max.
Janet: Oh, Hayley, you did the best you could.
Hayley: Oh, I promised Junior that I wasn't going to trash Adam in court, you know, and I'm afraid that's exactly the way it sounded. You know? I mean, you should've seen Adam's face. He really loves Colby. He just wants to be her father. That's all.
Janet: And he tries.
Hayley: I just wish he would let us. You know? Instead of trying to manipulate everybody all the time.

Arlene: Oh, sweetie. I have just the thing for those suitcases under your eyes. Hey.
Hayley: Speaking of suitcases, have you packed yours yet?
Janet: Oh, Hayley, come on. She's been great with Amanda, keeping her spirits up.
Arlene: Oh, it's ok. She's just cranky. So it's Adam's fault, isn't it? Huh? He demanded too much. I tried to protect you from him, sweetie. I really did.
Hayley: Yeah?
Arlene: Yeah. That's why I never told you that he was your father. I wanted to spare you the pain. And it looks like mom was right. Aw.

Adam: A new hearing? Hasn't the judge been paying attention? Colby's mine. Barry, do something. Stop this nonsense.
Barry: Not now, Adam. Be quiet!

Judge: Dr. Martin, are you prepared to pursue sole custody given the new evidence? Please, Dr. Martin. The court is waiting.
Adam: Judge, this is absurd. Colby is mine and Liza's. Jake Martin has no claim.
Judge: Mr. Chandler, not another word out of you unless directed. Mr. Shire, if you can't control your client's husband, I'll have him removed forcibly if necessary.

Leslie: Your honor, this is a difficult decision for Dr. Martin. If it pleases the court, I'd like a moment to confer with my client.
Judge: Very well. I'll grant a five-minute recess and five minutes means five minutes, not a second longer.

Adam: How dare you come into my house and kidnap my daughter.
Liza: Adam --
Adam: I could've had you arrested the minute you walked in this courtroom.
Barry: Adam, let's go.
Adam: No. You know you can't win, Jake. So you go right ahead. You hold my daughter one last time.
Liza: Jake. I knew Colby was fine with you. I'm sorry.

Leslie: We can still win this, Jake. The judge was ready to give you custody.
Jake: And then Liza announced that Adam was Colby's real father.
Leslie: It doesn't matter. Your name is on Colby's birth certificate. You have been a terrific father for almost a year. Custody decisions are made to benefit the child. The best interest of the minor is more important than a biological link. Based on the testimony that the judge has already heard, you are what's best for Colby.
Jake: Adam will fight us, though --
Leslie: Let him -- we have a hell of a case against Adam -- and Liza, for that matter. Adam has committed serious crimes and it won't take much to prove Liza is an unfit mother. Listen, I know this isn't easy for you. But requesting a new hearing is the smart choice. It will get ugly. But in the end, you will have custody of Colby. Let me win this case for you. I can do it.

Adam: Can't we press charges against Jake for attempted kidnapping?
Barry: Well, they've been gone a few hours. You have no proof that's what Jake intended to do.
Adam: He took Colby!
Barry: Well --
Adam: What more do you need?
Barry: Well, let's wait and see what Jake decides to do.
Adam: No! I'm not a wait-and-see type. You I know that. I want results. I want my daughter, and I want you to make it happen. You understand? This isn't over until Colby is mine.
Tad: When this is over, you're going to lose -- everything.
Adam: You still fighting your brother's battles? Is that it? You want to take another swing at me? Come on. Come on. Be my guest.
Tad: I don't care how much DNA evidence you whine about. Jake is Colby father.
Adam: No, Jake is a kidnapper. Were you in on this? Maybe we can add conspiracy to kidnap to the charges against you.
Tad: You idiot. There never was a kidnapping. I personally called Liza to tell her that Colby was all right.

Adam: Liza -- did you know Colby was safe and not tell me?
Liza: I didn't want to create a scene, not that you need me to do that. Is that what's happening here, everybody going for another round?
Adam: Colby could've been in danger, and you let me --
Liza: Well, you would've called the swat team. You would've called the national guard. I think enough damage has been done.
Adam: I had a right to know.
Liza: You used up all your rights.

Leslie: What you decide today will have repercussions for the rest of your life. Don't make the wrong decision.
Jake: What would that be?
Leslie: To lose your chance to be Colby's father.
Listen, if Adam wins, that's it. We have no options.
Jake: So if we continue, how will you stop him?
Leslie: Oh. Adam and Liza are a lawyer's dream. I mean, the testimony against Adam was damning enough. But I worked for Adam. I know where to dig for the dirt. And it won't be hard.
Jake: Liza will --
Leslie: Oh, please --
Jake: She doesn't -- no, she --
Leslie: Please. She may be the image of motherhood right now, but this is a small town. I know the gossip. Didn't she break up tad and Dixie's marriage? Home wreckers don't get much sympathy in cases like this. Trust me. I know how to play the game. It's my specialty.
Jake: Destroying people?
Leslie: Winning. And we can do it. Once I get them on the stand, the court will have more than enough reason to grant you sole custody. Come on. What do you say? Let me go for it. I promise you we'll win.
Jake: You're pretty confident, counselor.
Leslie: You have got a great case, not to mention me, to make the judge see that.

Judge: This hearing is now in session. Counsel, are your clients ready to proceed? Dr. Martin, do you wish to pursue sole custody of Colby Martin?

Liza: Your honor, may I say something?
Judge: If you must.
Liza: I just wanted to request that my child leave the room for the duration of the hearing.
Judge: On what grounds?
Liza: Well, I just think that she can sense the hostility here. I don't think it's good for her, for any of us. And if it would be appropriate, the nanny could take her home for the duration of the hearing. I would appreciate it.
Judge: I'll allow that.
Jake: No.

Hayley: Excuse me?
Arlene: Oh, honey, you got to admit that Harry was a much better father than Adam could've ever have been.
Hayley: Yeah. Harry was the most loving man I've ever met, which is more than I can say for the rest of the parental units I've encountered.

[Telephone rings]

Hayley: Hello.
Janet: I'm just going to finish cleaning up.
Arlene: Oh, Janet, are you going to be doing the laundry today?
Janet: I could.
Arlene: Great. Thanks.

Hayley: Well --

[Hayley sighs]

Hayley: Yeah. I mean, it sounds amazing, but now is not a really good time for me to go on a location shoot, you know? Personal reasons. Yeah, listen, we can discuss it at the office when I get there, ok? Yeah, right. Bye.
Arlene: "Location shoot"? That's very glam.
Hayley: Eavesdropping, Arlene?
Arlene: It's a small room. Where do they think they're going to send you, hmm?
Hayley: Jamaica. And I'd love to go but I just can't right now.
Arlene: Jamaica? Well, who in their right mind would pass up a free trip to Jamaica?
Hayley: Me.
Arlene: No, you can't. Hey, I could go with you. I'm sure there is room in the budget for a girl Friday. What do you think? I've been told I've got an eye for fashion, and where do you think you got your sense of style, hmm?
Hayley: I don't think so. Besides, don you have a job you should be getting back to?
Arlene: Hmm. Dalton, Jamaica. Jamaica wins. Let's pack.
Hayley: Read my lips -- you're not going to Jamaica.
Arlene: Why not, Hayley? I mean, it's the perfect opportunity. It's a great time. It's all on the company dime. I can see it now -- lux accommodations, cabana boys --
Hayley: Cool it.
Arlene: Pina Coladas -- virgin, of course.
Hayley: Arlene, you're not going! Besides, I'm not going. I promised Brooke when she left for China I'd stay here and keep an eye on Janet, ok?
Arlene: Oh, honey, you got me now. I can stay here and watch Janet for you.
Mateo: No, you won't.

Guy: Oh -- oh! I'm just getting used to this software. Let me see if I can pull this back up. Yeah. There we go.
Alex: This is our training schedule?
Guy: Well, it looks a lot more serious than it is. It's a diary. We input Scorpio's response to all our training methods, different bits, food, supplements, medication. It's a kind of a bottom line for changes we'll have to make along the way, and we will be making some changes.
Alex: Wow. You're organized.
Guy: Well, I find the more organized I am, the smoother the training goes and, plus, I'm kind of a gadget junky. You have questions?
Alex: Yeah, tons.
Guy: Ok. Here, have a seat. Take a look.
Alex: Ok. All right. I can't read any of this without my glasses. So, where do we start?
Guy: Well, I longed him this morning to get some of the barks and squeals out of him. Later on today, I'm going to put you in the chute with him. Get him used to voice, see how he responds to your command.
Alex: When do you think I can ride him?
Guy: A couple of weeks, I hope. He's young, he's fit, he's feeing good, and you seem like a pretty capable rider.
Alex: A couple of weeks, really. I mean, I don't know. That seems a little soon.
Guy: Well, horse training isn't an exact science, but it depends on the horse. I had a friend who had a spirited gray, very much like Scorpio, broke him in a couple of days, and he was riding him like mad around the moors of Derbyshire like they'd been together for years.
Alex: What did you say?
Guy: Well, he had a dapple-gray, spirited like Scorpio.
Alex: No, no, no. Derbyshire. How did you know how to say that? I mean, it's a -- it's an unusual British word. Most Americans pronounce it incorrectly.
Guy: I'm not the man you think I am.
Alex: I didn't mean to offend you.
Guy: No, no offense taken. I love horses and I'm from out west, but I'm not exactly a cowhand.
Alex: No. I didn't mean that. It's just that most Americans -- they don't travel so much and --
Guy: I learned a long time ago never to assume anything about anybody. Well, and take you for example.
Alex: What about me?
Guy: Well, Dr. Marick, you seem like a nice lady. You're smart and kind, but I bet you have a secret or two.
Alex: Why would you say that?
Guy: Well, it's nothing personal. It's just a fact of life. Most people have more than one face.
Alex: You make it sound as though everyone has something to hide. I mean, that hasn't been my experience at all.
Guy: Then it must be nice to be able to take the world at face value. You must feel very safe.
Alex: How did you know how to say "Derbyshire"?
Guy: A friend of mine and I got invited to ride in a steeplechase. I spent a couple of weeks over there cruising the peak district, sitting on my bonnet and eating bangers. Right?
Alex: Mm-hmm.
Guy: Of course, if I had said "bonnets" and "bangers" back home, I'd get run out of town.
Alex: You might get propositioned.
Guy: Oh. Still, you Brits have the oddest way of saying --
Alex: We do?
Guy: Things -- yeah.
Alex: Oh. Tell me, in this great nation of yours, what language is it you speak? It's English, right? I mean, didn't --
Guy: Well, yeah.
Alex: We bring that over? Well, maybe it's you that has the oddest way of saying things.
Guy: Oscar Wilde said Americans and English share everything except a common language.
Alex: Two nations separated by a common language. You're a bit of a renaissance man.
Guy: You mean for a cowboy?

[Alex laughs]

Guy: You want cowboys, try the Aussies. Take a spin in the outback. They're another breed altogether, eh? Mate?
Alex: Yeah.

[Guy laughs]

Arlene: You always were one to make a dramatic entrance.
Mateo: How you doing? Hayley: Better, now that you're here. What's up?
Mateo: Nothing. I got some interesting news from down south today. Georgia to be exact. Yeah, I called the carpet factory. It seems they don't know anything about your leave of absence.
Arlene: Well, you must've talked to Cheryl Lynn in personnel. She's always been jealous of me. As we say in the biz, she lies like a rug. You can trust a word she says.
Hayley: Really?
Mateo: Word is you got fired. Yeah, she wasn't really popular down there, not at all. It had something to do with her boss dying in unusual circumstances that directly involved Arlene.
Arlene: Don't listen to him. Don't listen to him, sweetie. I didn't kill anyone.

Jake: I've made my decision, your honor.
Judge: Very well. If both parties agree to show restraint, the child will remain for the time being.
Mrs. Chandler.
Dr. Martin, the court waits for your answer.

Jake: Colby's my life. Yeah. Every day she reminds me of what's important, not to take anything for granted. And when she looks at me, I see that she trusts me and I -- I never want to lose that light in her eyes. As a parent, I've tried to teach her and she ends up teaching me about life and love, in particular. So I make this decision knowing that I'm doing the right thing.
Judge: Dr. Martin?
Jake: If I win custody, Colby will suffer. Adam will fight me with everything. I mean, this stuff, these court appearances, petitions, depositions, restraining orders. And these are just -- these are just the legitimate means. And I love her -- I love her too much to put her through that. She'll suffer. To have two pants fighting over her will -- will damage the child, and I -- I won't do that. I love her too much. I won't pursue custody.

Leslie: Don't do this, Jake. We can win.
Jake: Colby will lose.
Leslie: But there are ways --
Jake: This is what's best for Colby.

Liza: Jake, you are the most loving and generous man I have ever known. And I know that she's not a part of you, but she will always be a part of your spirit. I know that this was a really hard decision for you to make.
Jake: It's the only one I could make. I don't want her torn apart.
Liza: I will never forget the sacrifice that you made.
Jake: I did what I had to do. You'd do the same. Please.
Liza: Ok.
Jake: Take this.
Liza: Ok.
Jake: Here.

Judge: Based on Dr. Martin's answer, this case is dismissed. Court is adjourned.
Tad: Wait -- wait a minute. Your honor, you can't do this. You can't just drop the case. I mean, not after what he's done. I mean, he's practically raped a woman. The man's a criminal.
Judge: This is a civil court, sir. As much as I would love to help put Mr. Chandler in jail, that's a matter for the criminal courts.
Tad: So that's it?
Judge: Well, I've notified the district attorney of the allegations made against Mr. Chandler.
Tad: So charges will be filed?
Judge: That's up to Mrs. Chandler. Good luck.

Tad: Liza, listen to me. You got to do it. You understand? You cannot let him get away with this, not after what he's done to you, after what he's done to all of us.
Adam: My family is none of your business. You leave my wife alone.
Tad: Your wife is going to help me put you in jail.

Hayley: Well, Arlene, you've finally done it. I'm shocked. I mean, you've managed to rage through all the other commandments, but I never really ought you were capable of murder.
Arlene: It's not what you think. I didn't -- I didn't kill him in cold blood.
Janet: Was it in self-defense?
Arlene: No, it -- Ron -- Mr. Littlejohn, he died of a heart attack. He died in my arms.
Hayley: Of course. You were having an affair with your boss. How convenient for you.
Arlene: No, it wasn't like that. The man came on to me constantly. I mean, I'm used to attention from the opposite sex, but this was too much.
Mateo: You can do better than that, Arlene, come on.
Arlene: He forced himself on me. I didn't know what to do. My job was on the line. I gave in. I had to.
Hayley: Why didn't you just file a complaint with human resources?
Arlene: He owned the company. There was nothing I could do.
Mateo: Come on. No business today tolerates that degree of sexual harassment. That doesn't wash.
Arlene: You don't understand. You just don't understand. He ran that company like his own personal club. I mean, you know how those old boys are. Slapping your fannies and calling you sugar all the time. I mean, no one would listen to me. I'm shattered by this.
Janet: Well, of course you are. I mean, to have someone die right in front of you. What a horrible, horrible thing.
Arlene: I'll never forget it. Never. He just cornered me one night while we were working late. Pushed me into the cutting room and just took me there. It was over in seconds. By the time he stopped gasping, I realized he was dead.
Mateo: He -- he -- I'm sorry. He died in your arms? Just like that?
Arlene: Yeah, yeah -- before I even knew what was going on, before I could even call for help.
Hayley: And it was just that one time, right?
Arlene: Hayley! Hayley, yes, once. It was terrifying.
Hayley: Yeah. As I recall, you were never much for repeat performances.
Mateo: She's lying. I -- I spoke to the office manager. She said you were coming on to your boss for weeks. Everybody knew about it. Even his wife.
Arlene: Oh, her! Oh, well, you know what? She has been after me since the beginning.
Mateo: She used to call the house, their house, at all hours of the night. And when the wife would pick up, she would hang up.
Arlene: She's obviously lying.
Mateo: They had caller ID. And guess who's number turned up?
Hayley: Hmm. Ooh, Arlene's?
Arlene: Look, I may have called the house once or twice. I was the company accountant. I worked very closely with Ron.
Hayley: Yes, you've made that pitifully clear.
Arlene: Hayley, you got to believe me. I'm being painted as a jezebel here. I'm -- I'm the victim.

Guy: Good.

[Scorpio neighs]

Guy: Good, good, good. All right, now see how he responds to your whoa.
Alex: Whoa. Whoa. Hey.
Guy: Good. That's good. That's enough. That's enough. That's enough for today. Good. We'll leave him outside. Let him cool down a little bit. All right?
Alex: Oh, he's great, isn't he? He's so responsive.
Guy: Yeah, maybe we'll try some poles tomorrow, see how he jumps.
Alex: Ok, good.
Guy: You did real nice out there.
Alex: Yeah?
Guy: Huh? Did you feel how the horse felt your confidence?
Alex: Mm-hmm, yeah, a little bit, but, you know, I mean, I'm a good rider, but I would never try to train a horse. That's your job.
Guy: It's going to get better. You want a cup of tea? Alex: Sure, if you think
you can make one.
Guy: Well --
Alex: Oh, Dr. Wheat's coming by later to have a look at him. Guy: Good.
He may have a tiny little stone bruise. I don't think it's very serious, but I do want the vet to take a look at him. I also want the farrier to come by, too.
Alex: Oh, he doesn't need new shoes already, does he?
Guy: Well, I want to put him on lightweight steel. Give him more protection when we put him out on the trail.
Alex: Ok.
Guy: Now, here's to Scorpio. May we learn as much from him as he learns from us.
Alex: Hmm.
Guy: Hmm. Ah. Ah -- whoo.
Alex: You don't know the first thing about making tea, do you?
Guy: Well --
Edmund: So this is what intensive training looks like.
Alex: Oh, no, no, no. I was just working with Scorpio. He's fantastic. So great.
Edmund: I'm sorry I missed the show.
Guy: You know, you want a cup of tea? I'll get a mug.
Edmund: Tea, huh? Ok, thanks.
[Scorpio neighs]

Edmund: Well, you two seem to be hitting it off.
Alex: Yeah.
Edmund: I thought you had some doubts about the guy.
Alex: He's a bit unusual, but he knows a lot about horses, so I think we'll be fine.
Edmund: All right. Listen, Dr. Wheat is on his way over. We wants to look at Scorpio's lineage and documentation.
Alex: I know. Do you still have those papers I gave you?
Guy: Well, I copied them and put them into the computer.
Alex: Guy's very efficient.
Guy: Oh, here are the originals.
Edmund: Oh, yeah, thanks.
Guy: Now the real show was Alex. You should've seen her in the chute. Cool as a cucumber.
Alex: Oh --
Guy: Absolutely fearless.
Alex: Come on!
Guy: No, it took a lot of courage to do what you did.
Alex: No, I'll need a lot more before we're done.
Guy: You're going to be fine.
Alex: Thank you. Wait, I think, actually, I'm going to groom Scorpio before the vet gets here. Do you think Sam and Maddie would like to see that? I mean, I want them to get used to the new horse. Should I get them?
Edmund: That's a great idea. I'll get them.
Alex: Ok.

[Guy whistles "Waltzing Matilda"]

Alex: What's that song?

Arlene: Look, I've made mistakes. I know it. But I didn't kill him. I am not a murderer.
Hayley: No, you're a liar, because you said you were here for me and for Janet. And that's a crock. You're not here for us. You don't even care about your own brother!
Arlene: Oh, sweetie, the timing was a coincidence. I -- I came here for Janet and Amanda. But especially for you.
Hayley: Well, great. Now I want you to leave especially for me. Today. Mateo, will you take me to WRCW, please?
Mateo: Yep. How long will you be?
Hayley: Long enough for Arlene to pack and get out.
Arlene: I guess that means not to Jamaica, right?
Mateo: Jamaica?
Hayley: Eli called. He wants me to do a remote in Jamaica for sweeps week. I got to go over there and tell him to postpone the whole thing.
Janet: Oh, why? Why put it off?
Hayley: Because I got a lot going on, you know, with the custody hearing and everything and --
Janet: Hayley, I think it would really do you good to go.
Hayley: Truthfully, I, you know, I kind of feel funny leaving you and Amanda here by yourselves.
Janet: Amanda and I will be fine.
Arlene: I -- I could stay. I'm sure you would like some family comfort, and I got a scad of yo-yo tricks I could teach Amanda.
Hayley: Listen to me. I don't need you here, and Janet doesn't need you here, and certainly Amanda does not need you here.
Janet: Hayley's right. I don't need anyone to look after me.

Hayley: Be gone by the time I get home, Arlene.
Arlene: But --
Mateo: Pack your bags, please. I'm going to drop Hayley off and then I'm going to come by and pick you up and take you to the bus station, ok?
Arlene: I'm -- I'm kind of low on --
Mateo: Low on cash? I'll pay for the ticket. Buses, planes, trains -- anywhere you want to go.
You ready?
Hayley: Mm-hmm.
Janet: Bye.

Gillian: Jake. What you did in court today was so loving. Can I talk to you?
Jake: No. I got to get out of here.

Gillian: Oh, what have we done?
Ruth: Sweetie, listen, your intentions came from the heart. And in time he'll come to understand that.
Gillian: I don't think so.
Dixie: Honey, when he works this through, he'll come back to you.
Gillian: Oh. How can such a good man lose to someone so evil?
Joe: Jake may have lost his chance at custody. He showed us strength and love that Chandler can't begin to understand.
Gillian: He's sitting in there gloating, and I just want to slap him.
Tad: I'll hold him down for you.
Dixie: Come on, you guys, there's been enough fighting for today. Now, what about you? Can I drive you home?
Gillian: No, thanks. There's something I need to do first.

Liza: You know he loves you very much.
Adam: She's right. I do.
Liza: I was talking about Jake, Adam.
Adam: Oh, really? Hmm. I remember once you told me you wished Colby were mine.
Liza: Oh, well, isn't that the perfect example of being careful what you wish for?
Adam: It's been a long, hard road, Liza. But now we both have our hearts' desire.
Liza: How can you say that?
Adam: I'm with the two people that are most precious to me in my life. My wife and our child.
Liza: Well, you don't have me, and you most certainly don't have my daughter.
Adam: Liza --

Alex: No, I know the song, but I haven't heard it in a long time.
Guy: Well, Australian.
Edmund: It's
"Waltzing Matilda." Guy: Right. Right, if the high notes bother you, I could --
Alex: No. No, not at all. Um -- thanks for today. It was good. I'll see you tomorrow.
Guy: Yes. Yes.

Janet: Are you ok?
Arlene: Yeah, I just need a moment. Janet, no one understands me.
Janet: You want to talk about it?
Arlene: No, no, I don't want to burden you. It's hard admit, but I was in love with Ron.
Janet: But you just said that he was forcing himself on you --
Arlene: Yeah, no, I know, I know. I, um, you know, he was coarse and wasn't much of a looker, but I -- I was in love with him. And he told me that he loved me, that I was delicate and feminine and -- he swore he would marry me. He just forgot to tell me that he had a wife. And by the time I found out, I was -- desperately in love with him. I mean, you know how that is, right? Right? I just -- I just had to be around him. I'd do anything -- anything to be around him. You know, you and I are a lot alike.
Janet: Are we?
Arlene: Mm-hmm. Yeah, we're both in love with men that fate has taken away from us. You're the only one that understands me. I feel so lucky to have you as a friend, a sister.
Janet: Well, we don't really know each other that well. I --
Arlene: You know Trev. Trev was right when he fell for you. He was. You are a kind woman. Do you think it's possible -- never mind.
Janet: What?
Arlene: You know, I have no place to stay. I have no friends. No money. I'm all alone in the world. I feel like I've been wronged. That must be how Trev feels. Wherever he is. Do you think you could find it in your heart to let me stay?

Tad: Liza, you got a minute?
Liza: Now's not the time, Tad.
Tad: Now is the only time. You've got to do it. You got to go to the DA's office and press charges.
Dixie: You know, you're not alone. We'll help you.
Tad: You can't let him get away with this.
Liza: Right now I just want some peace.

Ruth: What do you think? What do you think she'll do?
Tad: She'll do what she has to do. Jake set the example, didn't he? He did the right thing even though it tore his heart out.
Joe: Let's hope Liza has the same strength.
Tad: She does. She may be too much like Adam for her own good, but she's got a heart and a conscience.
Dixie: Yeah, she's just got to press charges.
Tad: I'm going to make sure of it.

Barry: You know, if Liza presses charges, you could be facing a big problem.
Adam: It's not going to happen. It might amaze you to know that Liza still loves me.
Barry: I hope so, for your sake.
Adam: Look at the facts. She was going to leave me. She didn't. She wanted a divorce. That didn't happen. And then she was going to kick me out. I'm still there. She loves me. Almost as much as I love her.
Barry: Well, love can be fickle. And the Martins are pressing her pretty hard. What they think is very important to her.
Adam: Yeah, well, I have every confidence in Liza. But if they should sway her into filing charges, we'll just have to play our trump card, won't we?

[Baby music plays]
Gillian: Look, Colby. Daddy's home. Look.

Gillian: Jake?

On the next "All My Children" --

David: You let Adam steal a file from my office. How could you do that?

Greenlee: Things looked a bit frigid between you and the virgin princess.

Arlene: You killed Sophie. Don't worry. I can keep a secret.

Jake: If I hadn't have gone after custody of Colby, would you have married me?
