Becca: What is it?
Scott: Nothing. Uh --
Becca: What's wrong? Why'd you stop?
Scott: My heart's really racing. Uh --
Becca: Mine, too.
Scott: You know, Becca, we better not start something we can't finish.
Becca: Scott, don't you think I want you as much as you want me?
Scott: Well, if we both want each other, what's stopping us?

Waiter: Dr. Hayward, I am so sorry.
David: That's all right.
Vanessa: Blot gently, dear. You all right? I mean, don't rub. It'll burst a blood vessel.
Waiter: I'll bring you another drink right away.
David: Don't worry about it.
Erica: Oh, I have never been so humiliated.
Leo: Sure you have, Ms. Kane. What about all those crazy, hazy pill-popping days, pre-Betty Ford?
David: Go away, Leo.
Leo: Well, I'm just curious as to which life lesson we've learned here, that's all. Tell me, when a woman betrayed throws a drink in your face, do you, a, follow it with an appetizer, b --
Vanessa: All right, Leo -- Leo, Leo, Leo, please. No needling.
Leo: Sante.

Erica: You lied to me, David.
David: Not now, Erica.
Erica: Yes, now. You swore to me that you would never tell anyone the truth about Adam being the real father of Liza's baby.
David: There were extenuating circumstances.
Erica: What -- what possible excuse could you have for breaking your promise to me?
David: Why should we even bother going into this when you've already branded me a traitor?
Erica: Is that what you think? Do you really think that? You really think I want to believe the worst of you?
David: Yes. That's exactly what I think.

Arlene: Hey, handsome. You ought to be in the pictures.
Waiter: What can I do for you, ma'am?
Arlene: Well, what you could do for me is probably outlawed in these 48 contiguous states, but you could pep up this Virgin Mary for me.
Waiter: Sure.
Arlene: You know, on second thought, that virgin act is getting old. Bring her back with a smidge more experience. 90 Proof worth.
Hey. Fancy running into you here.
Adrian: Yeah, well, I'm just finishing up a business meeting in the bar.
Arlene: And now your business is done. You want to grab a bite with me?
Adrian: Actually, I'm running a little late. I have a prior engagement.
Arlene: Lucky lady. Ms. Prior Engagement.
Adrian: It's a little splash over at the S.O.S. A little preceding bash.
Arlene: Oh, well, lucky for me I'm wearing my splash-bash dancing shoes.
Adrian: Oh, yeah, well, like I said, it's private, so, you have a good night.

Arlene: I should be at that shindig. Hayley's my baby. Thanks.
Arlene: That a girl, Mary. Now you're kicking.

Mateo: You happy?
Hayley: Very.
Mateo: Are you sure?
Hayley: Mm-hmm.
Mateo: Now, listen, if Janet and Amanda, you know, leaving them is a problem, maybe we should just postpone the trip to Jamaica. Yeah? Hayley: I think "Wave" in Jamaica is a must see. Plus, Janet's shrink gave her a stellar progress report.
Mateo: Yeah, but you're not buying it, are you?
Hayley: Janet's shrink knows Janet. Janet's shrink has never met the house guest from hell.
Mateo: True, I mean, she's going to be that whether you're there or not, right? Think of yourself. Be selfish, ok? Think of your job, your show, and don't let your mom spoil that.
Hayley: Yeah, it's easy to talk the talk, but you know Arlene. She's got this nasty habit of sucking all the air out of the universe while I hold my breath waiting to see what sort of new hell she's going to unleash.
Mateo: Well, I mean, come on, she slept with her boss, who was married. I mean, she lied about that. She got fired. So, I mean, maybe she's taking a breather.
Hayley: You're right. That was yesterday's garbage.
Mateo: Yeah, come on.
Hayley: Hmm.
Mateo: Tonight's our night. We celebrate us, our engagement, r future. Our life. Nobody's going to spoil that. Not even Arlene. Hmm.

Isabella: Mijo, am I too early?
Hayley: Hey.
Mateo: Mom, how are you?
Isabella: Felicidad a los dos. A los dos.
Mateo: Thank you, thank you.
Hayley: Thank you.
Isabella: You know, I knew the two of you were going to find your way back to each other.
Mateo: Yeah, we took a little break, but we made it, right?

Edmund: Ah, the happy couple.
Alex: Hello.
Hayley: Hi.
Edmund: Hey, Mama.
Isabella: Hi.
Edmund: Looks like you need a bartender.
Hayley: We do.
Edmund: I'll do the honors. What do you want, Mama?
Isabella: Champagne, but just half a glass.
Edmund: Oh, you're --
Alex: Ok.
Hayley: I'll have a club soda with lime.
Mateo: Yeah, me, too.
Edmund: You got it.
Hayley: Thanks.

Alex: Well, I'm going to be your server this evening.
Edmund: Oh, really? That's the best offer I had all evening. You look great, by the way.
Alex: Well, thank you. I've been riding all afternoon.
Edmund: Yeah, well, I should do that more often myself. You clean up pretty good.
Alex: Thank you.
Edmund: How's Guy working out?
Alex: Oh, he's great. He's very knowledgeable, you know -- thanks.
Edmund: Yeah? Putting Scorpio through his paces?
Alex: Yeah, but he's gently breaking him in. You know, he's not one of those trainers that try to dominate the animal.
Edmund: You favor the kinder, gentler approach?
Alex: Don't you? I think horses are very sensitive creatures. I think you have to be patient and earn their trust.
Edmund: And then what happens?
Alex: Oh, then -- then the magic happens. Oh, then you really become one with the animal and get that real connection. It's great.

Tad: Hey.
Dixie: Hey!
Mateo: Hey, guys. Thank you so much. Thanks for coming, huh?
Dixie: Well, we were happy to ha-e a reason to celebrate.
Hayley: Listen, I just want you both to know that I was real uncomfortable testifying at the custody hearing, and I guess Adam is proof that sometimes evil triumphs over good.
Tad: Well, at least in your case it skips a generation.
Dixie: You know, let's not talk about Adam right now. This is your party!
Mateo: Yes. Margaritas?
Dixie: Yes.
Tad: Send over the entire pitcher. We'll be right over there.
Hayley: Ok.
Mateo: All right.

Dixie: Oh, God.
Tad: Sweetie, can I take your jacket?
Dixie: Yeah. We're going to have to try a little harder to get into the mood of this thing for Hayley and Mateo's sake.
Tad: Well, yeah, by all means, let's party hardy. Liza's out there somewhere deciding Adam's fate.
Dixie: She's not going to be deciding anything tonight.
Tad: Yeah, well, I'm sorry honey, but I can't stop thinking about my brother Jake and everything he's lost. One way or another, I'm going to make Adam pay for it.

[Knock on door]

Jake: She's not here.
Ryan: I'm not here to see Gillian. I'm her to see you, Jake.
Jake: Ryan, we don't have anything to talk about.
Ryan: I got plenty to say.
Jake: Wait, you want to know where I stand with Gillian, or are you going to tell me where you stand with your ex-wife?
Ryan: Where I stand with Gillian is pretty much a no brainer, Jake. She married you.
Jake: You knew -- you knew Colby wasn't mine.
Ryan: I wasn't exactly the last to know, but, yes, yes, I did. Adam set it up so that I would overhear Liza saying that she was sorry for Gillian.
Jake: Because she didn't want to enter a marriage that was based on a lie.
Ryan: Adam just wanted me to stop the wedding, Jake, that's it.
Jake: And you wanted to stop Gillian from making the biggest mistake of her life.
Ryan: I tried to convince Gillian that she was marrying you for the wrong reasons, yes. But she wouldn't listen to me, Jake.
Jake: Well, you know Gillian. She likes to help out those that are less fortunate.
Ryan: Forget about that. The point is she loves you, Jake. What I said didn't make any difference to her.
Jake: Maybe she didn't want to make a scene.
Ryan: Right. That's why she raced into the Valley Inn and reamed out David Hayward in front of the entire place?
Jake: Oh --
Ryan: She threw a drink in his face.
Jake: Ok, mm-hmm. So many people, so many chances to tell me the truth. What's the saying? Evil happens when good men do nothing. Or women, in this case.
Ryan: Where do you get off judging her, Jake? She almost lost her life racing to you to try and tell you what Adam had done.
Jake: I know. I know that. But in the end, I guess she just lost her nerve, didn't she?
Ryan: No. No, Jake, it was just the opposite of that. Adam tried every trick in the book to try and break her, but she wouldn't cave. She took his threats, she took the pain that you might have suffered, and she swallowed it. It almost broke her, but she wouldn't break. Pay attention, pay attention. Please, Jake, listen to me. Look at me. She had to make a choice -- to hurt you or to stand tall to Adam Chandler. Do you have any idea how much courage it took for her to stand up to Adam Chandler? Why do you think she did that, Jake? Because your wife would walk through fire for you. Now, if that's not love, then I don't know what the hell you call it.

Mateo: You know that guy?
Hayley: Nope.
Mateo: Excuse me. Hi. I'm sorry, we're closed. Private party tonight. Tell you what --
Guy: Oh, all right.
Mateo: Come back. I'm the owner. Drinks on me, ok?
Edmund: Hey, Guy, how you doing?
Guy: Hello.
Edmund: Listen, have you met my brother-in-law, Mateo Santos? His wife, Hayley?
Guy: No, nice to meet you.
Mateo: Hey, nice to meet you.
Edmund: I hired Guy. He's working the stables.
Hayley: Hi. Please, join us for some champagne.
Mateo: Yeah.
Alex: It's their engagement.
Guy: I don't want to crash your party.
Mateo: Hey, you're friends with Edmund. You're our friends.
Guy: I didn't know Mr. Grey and Dr. Marick would be here, and I don't usually socialize with my employers, so --
Edmund: So what are you doing? Is this reverse snobbism here?
Alex: Aren't we good enough for you?
Guy: No, it's not that, Dr. Marick --
Alex: Alex, please.
Edmund: And Edmund, please. We live in a castle, but we don't go by titles.
Hayley: Oh, here, let me get some champagne.
Mateo: Yeah, please.
Edmund: Well --
Alex: The training went well today, don't you think?
Edmund: Yeah.
Guy: It went real fine.
Alex: Yeah.
Guy: Yes, yes, it did.
Edmund: Scorpio's coming along ok?
Guy: Well, thank you very much.
Mateo: There you go.
Guy: Here's to the happy couple -- long life, long life.
Mateo: Oh, thank you.
Edmund: And speaking of which, here's to Scorpio.
Mateo: Scorpio?
Alex: Oh, yeah, Edmund's new horse.
Mateo: Oh.
Alex: Hmm.
Edmund: Thank you.

Hayley: I wonder what's keeping Janet.

Janet: Having a little trouble?
Arlene: Uh -- nothing a little elbow grease can't fix.
Janet: Here. Just turn it to the left. There you go.
Arlene: Ha. Hmm.
Janet: Looks like you've had a couple of those special coffees of yours.
Arlene: Oh, just a quick pick-me-up. That dress looks like it ought to go to a party.
Janet: I was just going to leave you a note.
Arlene: Oh, save the trees. I know you're going to Hayley's bash.
Janet: I just feel a little funny leaving you here.
Arlene: You hear me griping?
Janet: I mean, you're Hayley's mother. It just seems like you should be there.
Arlene: Oh, she outgrew me years ago. Look, I'm not going to wallow in her rejection. Now, go. Have fun.
Janet: What are your plans for tonight?
Arlene: Oh, I think I'll soak in the tub, turn in early.
Janet: Well, you'll have the house to yourself. Amanda's staying at a friend's tonight.
Arlene: Now, go. Go, go, go, go, and party till you drop, all right?
Janet: Have a good night.

Arlene: This is too easy.
Arlene: Looks like we need a refill, so --

[TV turns on]

[TV turns off]

Arlene: Arlene, honey, you're much too good-looking to be sitting around. Too good to be playing to an empty house. Come on, let's treat the people.

Vanessa: Vain, vain, foolish Erica. Thought you could conquer my son, didn't you? Add David to your list of conquests. Oh, my, my. But David's not your plaything. That's for certain. I mean, he never will be. Of course, you can search your whole life for a man who won't abandon you, somebody who's going to fill that void your father left when he deserted you, of course, of course. But you're never going to find him, are you? Uh-uh. No mere mortal will ever take your father's place.
Oh, Leo. Oh, my, my, listen to me go on. Heaven knows where that came from, dear. Ha.
Leo: From your heart. You love David, don't you?
Vanessa: I love both my sons. You're my life.

David: Erica, I was having a private conversation with Adam when Gillian showed up.
Erica: Showed up? Where?
David: The hospital. She was volunteering.
Erica: Well, it seems that you're the one who was doing all the volunteering, David. Spreading the word about Liza's baby throughout the hospital grapevine.
David: It happened, all right? Can we please just drop it? It's over.
Erica: It's not over, David. This indiscretion of yours, it had -- continues to have enormous consequences. Were you trying to hurt Gillian?
David: No, of course not. It could've been anybody.
Erica: But it wasn't. It was a woman with whom you've had a relationship.
David: I would hardly call it a relationship.
Erica: Oh, ok, what, then? A business transaction? Do you prefer business transaction? Gillian volunteering her sexual services because she was so desperate for money --
David: Oh, for crying out loud, w the hell did we get into this?
Erica: That's what I'd like to know, David. That's a question actually, that I've been asking myself quite a lot lately.
David: Erica, are you questioning us?
Erica: Just when Ii start to believe that I know who you are --
David: You do know me, Erica. We were doing fine until Gillian stormed in here.
Erica: No, this has nothing to do with Gillian.
David: This has everything to do with Gillian. And your bottomless pit of insecurities.
Erica: I'm not insecure. I'm wary because the man I trusted lied to me.

Vanessa: Oh. Oh, dear. David, lie?
Leo: Unthinkable.
Erica: Oh.
David: This is a private conversation.
Vanessa: Well, Erica, really, what did you think? Your dalliance with my son was going to make an honest man of him?
Erica: I've had enough of this family for one night.
David: Don't go. We're not finished.
Vanessa: Oh, for Pete's sake. Don't stoop to begging. If Erica wants to leave, let her leave.
David: You would love that, wouldn't you, Vanessa? You can't stand Erica because she's everything that you aspire to be. But you didn't have the looks or the class or the talent to pull it off. Erica invented herself. She stands alone. She doesn't need a man to complete her life.
Vanessa: Oh, please. Erica can't go to the ladies' room without a man on her arm.
Erica: Oh, I beg your pardon.
David: Oh, look, don't even bother. You're a hundred times the woman she will ever be.
Leo: Well, she's also proved that Freud was right.
David: About what, oh learned one?
Leo: Oh, come on, David, you're a bright man. Haven't you figured this out yet? The only reason you're attracted to Erica is because she reminds you of our mother.
Vanessa: Leo. Oh, best friend is his mommy. Come on, darling.
Leo: All right.

Erica: Well, on that disgusting note --
David: Stay. We're not finished.

Hayley: Hey.
Mateo: Hey.
Hayley: There's the lady. Where have you been?
Janet: Sorry I'm late. Arlene --
Hayley: Oh. Say no more.
Mateo: She's giving you grief already, huh?
Janet: To tell you the truth, I feel sorry for her. She's got no money. No place to go.
Hayley: If you want some advice from me, do yourself a favor. Save your pity and watch your back. Arlene can be unpredictable.

Alex: How are you?
Dixie: Good. How are you?
Alex: They seem very happy, don't they?
Dixie: Yeah.
Tad: Oh, yeah.
Edmund: I am so glad they worked it out.
Dixie: Yeah.
Tad: Just give it time. Adam will find way to screw it up.
Dixie: Um, Alex, I heard that you were mugged at a mall and you fought off your attacker? That's really amazing.
Alex: Oh, it .wasn't exactly like that. I mean, it was -- it wasn't anything, really.
Dixie: Well, I mean, did you take some sort of, karate or self-defense courses?
Alex: Yes, I guess I did. In England, maybe a long time ago. I don't know. Maybe.
Tad: What do you mean, maybe? You don't remember?
Alex: Well, it was a very long time ago. Are the bathrooms through there? Excuse me.

Hayley: Hey! Axel, you finally made it.
Axel: Mazel Tov.
Hayley: Oh, thank you.
Axel: No more bumps in the road for you and Mateo.
Hayley: Ugh. One colossal pothole. You remember my mother, don't you?
Axel: Arlene? Please.
Hayley: Hmm.
Axel: When she crashed our AA. Meeting, it reminded me of Joan Crawford when she takes over the role from her daughter in that soap opera.
Hayley: Oh, yeah? Would you like to hear the latest flash from mommy dearest? She was run out of town because her boss/lover died from too much afternoon delight.
Axel: You're kidding.
Hayley: Please, I couldn't make this stuff up. My mother has personally put the shag back in the carpet biz.

Becca: Scott, it's not that I don't want to make love.
Scott: Are you afraid?
Becca: I'm not sure. I want to wait until I'm sure.
Scott: Ok.
Becca: I mean, if we jumped into bed without that commitment, a part of me would hold back, the part of me that needs to be in love to make love.
Scott: How do you do that? How do you make waiting feel like such a privilege?
Bea: I think it is. You know, my Granny Tyree told me that the closest she ever got to paradise was when she was in bed with her husband.
Scott: Your granny told you that?
Becca: Yeah. You know, she said that she felt like heaven's gates had opened up when she was with him.
Scott: Wow. Your grandparents sound like really amazing people.
Becca: They were married for 65 years.
Scott: 65 Years, huh?
Becca: Mm-hmm.
Scott: Well, I hope I get to see heaven before I die. Look, do you want to go to Hayley and Mateo's party?
Becca: I'd love to.
Scott: Ok.
Becca: Um, Scott? Thank you.
Scott: For what?
Becca: For reminding me of my grandfather.

Jake: Look, whether Gillian loves me or not, I don't really want to talk to you about it.
Ryan: If you're half the man that Gillian thinks that you are, Jake, please try and recognize the sacrifices that she has made for you. Not because she pities you or because she feels trapped, but because she loves you, man.
Jake: So, what, are you just giving her over to me?
Ryan: She was never mine to give, Jake. She chose you. Don't -- don't be like me. Don't -- don't do it. Don't blow the best thing that's ever happened to you.

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

[Knock on door]

Jake: Gillian, what do you want?
Gillian: I've been thinking about your question. Would I have married you if -- if you weren't suing for custody of Colby.
Jake: It was an unfair question.
Gillian: Jake, nothing about this is fair. But it was an honest question and it deserves an honest answer. The truth is, Jake, I was looking forward to a romantic courtship, a beautiful wedding in June. And then everything got crazy. You wanted to get married right away because you -- you wanted to sue for custody of Colby.
Jake: It wasn't so much a question of timing, but more about if Colby wasn't in the picture, would you have married me at all?
Gillian: Yes. Because you are an honorable man, decent and caring and kind. And what you did today in court, all the sacrifices you made for the happiness of your daughter -- of Colby -- it just made me realize more than ever how much I truly, truly love you, Jake.
Jake: I'm a good guy. Is that why?
Gillian: Because you're good for me.
Jake: Is that all I am?

David: Sit down. You know what this all means, don't you, Erica? The constant fault finding, the mutual distrust --
Erica: Mutual? You have no reason to distrust me.
David: It means that our relationship has come to that point where either we move to the next step or we self-destruct.
Erica: Oh. You sound like Rae Cummings and her psychobabble.
David: Think about it. This free-floating relationship can't go on forever. We need to define what we mean to each other and what we want from the future.
Erica: If we have a future. And that's a very huge assumption.
David: What are you afraid of, Erica?
Erica: Nothing. Certainly not you.
David: You're lying.
Erica: How dare you --
David: I dare because I know you. You're terrified because you've lost control. This grand experiment of yours included sex, excitement, passion, lust. But you never counted on falling in love.
Erica: Oh, you are the most presumptuous human being.
David: Are you denying that you said that you loved me?
Erica: Well, I must have been delirious.
David: Oh, you want to take it back? Well, I'm sorry, you can't. I'm not a dress that you're returning or a pair of shoes. I'm the man who makes you quiver. I'm the man who touched your core.
Erica: Well, you may know how my skin feels, and you may know the perfume I wear, but you have no idea what's in my heart.
David: How can I not know that, Erica? I live there. How many more times do I have to tell you that I love you before you believe it? How many more mornings do you have to wake up next to me before you realize that I could wake up there every morning for the rest of my life? For crying out loud, you are so exhausting. How much more reassurance do you need?

Axel: I'm going to get a drink.
Hayley: Coward.
Arlene: Congrats, sweetie. Third time's a charm. Ooh, hey, I got to go and say hi to somebody.

Mateo: So much for not inviting your mom.
Hayley: She's drunk.
Mateo: What?
Hayley: She's drunk.
Mateo: She's out of here.
Hayley: No, Mateo, don't. It'll only spoil everything and that's exactly what she wants.

Arlene: We meet again. Don't worry, I'm not a stalker. I'm the mother of the bride.
Adrian: Oh, you're Arlene?
Arlene: So, my reputation precedes me, huh?
Adrian: Well --
Arlene: And you are --
Adrian: Adrian Sword.
Arlene: Oh. Mateo's partner. Well, the world's getting smaller and smaller, huh?
Adrian: Yeah.
Arlene: Hmm.

Tina: Do you see that? She's undressing him with her eyes.
Hayley: Unfortunately, when it comes to my mother, she never stops with the eyes.

Scott: Hey!
Becca: Hi.
Scott: Happy, happy, you guys!
Hayley: Hi!
Becca: Best of everything.
Scott: Oh, how are you?
Mateo: Thanks a lot.
Becca: Oh, thanks for having us.
Hayley: Thank you.
Scott: I guess Adam's not on the guest list tonight, huh?
Mateo: Well, you never know. We've had some uninvited guests, right?
Hayley: Hmm.

Mateo: Yeah. Yeah, excuse me. Hey, hey, hey. So I see you met my mother-in-law, huh?
Adrian: Yeah, actually, I've heard all the horror stories.
Mateo: Yeah, well, you should believe them, ok? Now, sober she's dangerous. But drunk, she's lethal.
Adrian: Ah, you don't trust her.
Mateo: Listen, um, Hayley and I are going out of town. I need you to do me a favor.
Adrian: Well, sure. Name it.
Mateo: Ok, um, see, Arlene -- that's Hayley's mom --
Adrian: Mm-hmm, right
Mateo: She's staying at Janet's house, right? I need you to just keep an eye on her.
Adrian: Oh, is that right?
Mateo: Yeah, well, you know, I mean, she was all over you, man. I mean, come on, just get your mojo working.
Adrian: Man, get out of here. What's wrong with you?
Mateo: Well, you've had some dangerous missions before, haven't you?
Adrian: Yeah, but what happens if I decide not to accept this one?
Mateo: Well, just consider it a present, a wedding present from you to me.
Adrian: Yeah.
Mateo: Good luck.

Scott: You know, some weekend let's drive up to Pigeon Hollow together.
Becca: Do you really want to?
Scott: Yeah. Yeah, I want to see where you come from. I want to know everything out you.
Becca: Oh.

[Becca laughs]

Leo: May I?

[Arlene taps glass]

Arlene: Quiet, everybody. Uh, I'd like to make a toast to -- where is she now? To my baby.
Arlene: I want to congratulate my baby and my future son-in-law on their engagement. I'm just so tickled that, well, she's found a guy that can really take care of her because, well, let me tell you, her track record with me isn't so great. But neither is mine, so what the hey. Uh, you know, sweetie, I told you that you were just like me and that's not true. You're nothing like me. You got a rock-solid future, a guy who adores you and -- so -- so he's not perfect. So he had a wife and kid and didn't tell you. I mean, but every cloud has a silver lining, and, Mateo, you are my silver lining. You know that? You are. Because if Hayley can forgive you, she has to forgive me. And -- ok, I -- I know. I know I slept with her ex, um -- but Alec McIntyre -- I exposed him for the good-for-nothing loser that he was. And I spared her a lot of heartache. And if I got another chance, sweetie, I'd do it for you again.

Hayley: Don't. This is good. I want people to see Arlene in her natural habitat.
Arlene: Let's have some music. I want to dance with the groom.

[Music plays]

Mateo: Listen, can you handle this for me?
Adrian: Yeah, yeah.
Mateo: Just get her out of here, ok?
Adrian: Ok, right.

Leo: Hey, ready for that dance?
Becca: No, I'm with Scott now, ok?

David: Where the hell do you get off insulting Erica?
Leo: Comparing Erica to mother is hardly an insult, David.
David: Men have waged war for less.
Leo: Vanessa is hardly the monster that you make her out to be.
David: Yeah, well, she certainly isn't the doting parent you keep defending.
Leo: You're jealous.
David: Jealous? Of what?
Leo: Me. Mom always liked me best.
David: If that's so, little brother, why did she neglect your education, leaving you a functional illiterate, barely able to read or write?

Jake: Is that all I am? Good for you?
Gillian: Jake, you're good. You're caring, you're decent. That's everything. But your world isn't the same right now. You're mourning. Yore sad and you're mourning the loss of your daughter. Your whole world, it's just not the same.
Jake: Nothing's the same. Everything I thought was real, wasn't.
Gillian: Colby loves you, that's real. I love you, Jake. That's real. Oh, we can be happy again. I'll help you heal. I'll spend the rest of my life making up for this incredible pain that I've caused you. Please, Jake, don't tell me that there's no chance for us.

Leo: You're crazy. Of course I can read and write.
David: Really? All right, fine. Here's a bar tab. Why don't you calculate the tip?
Leo: I'm not your circus monkey, all right? You do it.

Becca: Give me a second.
Becca: Leo, look, I just saw what your brother did to you, and I'm sure that he didn't mean it.
Leo: Look, I'm not in the mood to be saved. Not tonight. Not ever.

Edmund: Well, I think it's about time to call it a night.
Alex: Yep.
Edmund: Give you a lift back?
Guy: No, no, thanks, I have my own car.
Edmund: Ok.
Alex: Oh, ok. I'll see you in the morning.
Guy: Yes, you will. Good night.

Dixie's voice: Did you take some sort of, like, karate or self-defense courses?
Alex's voice: Yes, I guess I did. In England, maybe a long time ago. I don't know. Maybe.
Tad's voice: What do you mean, maybe? You don't remember?
Alex's voice: Well, it was a very long time ago.

Adrian: Arlene, it would be my pleasure to escort you home.
Arlene: It would be pleasure to accept.

Tina: I am going to rip her eyes out.
Hayley: Do and I'll pay for your manicure.
Mateo: Tina, chill out. He's doing us a favor.
Tina: Us? Please, it looks like he's doing her a favor.

Mateo: If I have to post armed guards, I'm going to stop your mother from crashing our wedding, all right?
Hayley: Promise?
Mateo: I promise.
Mateo: Come here.

Ryan: Here's to you, Gilly. And to you, Jake. And to living happily ever after.

Jake: The secret's out, Gillian. You don't have to protect me anymore. Really. You're free. You're free.
Gillian: Jake, I don't want to be free. Baby, I love you. I love you. And, and -- have I ruined everything? Is it -- don't you feel any love for me at all?
Jake: I -- before you came here, I -- I asked myself the same question that I asked you -- if -- if not for me wanting this family and wanting to win custody and give Colby two beautiful, loving, wonderful parents, would I have wanted to marry you?



On the next "All My Children" --

Greenlee: In a few hours, I'll be lying in Ryan's bed.

Adrian: Maybe we should court.
Arlene: Oh, consider me courted.

Liza: You are going to sign that divorce petition, and you are going to get out of my house.

Gillian: Are you leaving me, Jake?
