Singer: Hush now don't explain just say you'll remain I'm glad that you're back so don't explain quiet don't explain tell me what is there to gain? Skip that lipstick no, no don't explain you know that I love you and what love adores all my thoughts are of you for I'm so completely yours cry when I hear folks chatter 'cause I know you cheat oh, but right or wrong don't matter, honey when you're with me.

Greenlee: Ryan, is everything ok?
Ryan: Yeah.
Greenlee: Yeah?
Ryan: Yeah. Of course. Everything's great. Couldn't be any better. I -- I -- you know, I woke up this morning with a dream, and -- I don't know -- a bowl of cereal and not much else. And here I am dining and dancing in New York City with my own company. Founder of my own company. I guess it's just kind of surreal, that's all.
Greenlee: No, this is real. You're going to be a big success, so claim it, ok? It's yours.
Ryan: Well, I couldn't have done it without you.
Greenlee: Selling Midori was the hard part. You did all that on your own, Ryan. You saw how impressed he was on the flight up. He's totally into this project.
Ryan: He was, right? He was really psyched about it.
Greenlee: That's right because he recognizes a champion when he sees one. So do I.

Waiter: Excuse me. Are you Ryan Lavery?
Ryan: Yes. Waiter: I have a telephone call for you. You can take it in our office. Follow me.
Ryan: It's Midori. I'll be right back.
Greenlee: I'll be here.
Ryan: Ok, ok.

Woman: Greenlee Smythe. What wind blew you into town?
Greenlee: Adair De Claysville. I haven't see you since, what, Windsor Academy? I thought you were still in Boston.
Adair: No. I moved here after the first of the year. You look wonderful.
Greenlee: You look great, too. You finally got your braces off.
Adair: It's been a few years now. So, who is that gorgeous guy you're with?
Greenlee: Ryan and I work together in Pine Valley.
Adair: You work?
Greenlee: I'm in television. I'm in broadcasting. Ryan was, too, but now he's starting up his own Internet company.
Adair: An entrepreneur. So, what's the deal with you two? Do you have a title, or are you just taking him for a test drive?
Greenlee: Ryan and I are just friends, Adair.
Adair: Excellent. Then you won't mind if I borrow him for the night.
Greenlee: Say what?
Adair: Well, I got stuck with the son of my father's biggest client. He's a total snore. And to make matters worse, we just bumped into some of his Wharton school buddies. I am so bored. So, Ryan, is it? Where is he? And what's he drinking?
Greenlee: Don't even think about it.

David: What are you trying to pull? This is from the same bottle you brought me before.
Waiter: Dr. Hayward, I assure you I opened the bottle personally. But it is the same year.
David: Yeah, with the same bitter aftertaste. Look, just -- just take it away, all right? Bring me an Irish whiskey. Make it neat.
Waiter: Yes, sir.

David: Yes, I knew. But I had no idea that it was going to blow up like this.
Dixie: Did you notice what happened? Did you notice Adam got everything that he wanted? Did you notice all the bodies everywhere? Tad, Gillian, Jake
David: That secret was going to hurt a lot of people, Dixie, whether I was involved or not.
Dixie: Were you the one that told Gillian?
David: Yes.
Dixie: Do you realize that Jake left her because she kept it to herself?
David: What, are you saying that Jake left her for good?
Dixie: I don't know. I don't know if he did. But I hope not.

Gillian: Thank you.
Waiter: You're very welcome.
Gillian: Wait. Why are you doing this?
Waiter: It's customary. I'm sorry. You expecting someone?
Gillian: No. No. But would you mind leaving the place setting? That way I won't feel so alone. Thanks.
David: You don't have to dine alone.

Tad: Adrian, I'm not the one on thin ice here. Adam is. And I should know because I've been watching him do triple axels out there for years. Now I finally get the pleasure of watching him fall flat on his face.
Adrian: And that means staking out Liza?
Tad: If I have to, yeah.
Adrian: Even if it means lying to your wife?
Tad: Dixie will understand.
Adrian: Oh, yeah, right. Don't count on it. Look, Tad, you promised Dixie that you would give up on chasing Adam.
Tad: Who the hell are you, Jiminy Cricket? Listen, I think I should understand my wife better than you.
Adrian: You're right. So stay here and talk to her. Tell her what the hell is going on.
Tad: I can't. Now isn't the time.

Dixie: Hey. Don't you dare leave, Tad Martin. I just ordered two pizza Supremos from Roberto's. They're going to be ready in 25 minutes.
Tad: Good. Way to go, sweetie.
Dixie: Wait, wait. So, where are you going?
Tad: Oh, I'm going to go pick up the pizzas. I just thought I was going to get, you know, some beer for me and Adrian on the way over.
Dixie: Well, we have beer. It's in the fridge.
Tad: We do? Oh, man. I didn't remember.
Dixie: Well, it's because you've been gone so long. Hey, Adrian, you want to stay for pizza?
Adrian: Yeah. As a matter of fact, maybe I should go and pick them up and you can stay here with Dixie and the boys.
Tad: No, that -- no, it's fine. That's really -- because I've got to do it because I'm blocking your car in the driveway. So why don't you stick around and keep Dixie company for me. Get him started on a beer, ok, Sweetie?
Adrian: I'll wait for you.
Tad: Ok.
Dixie: Don't be gone long, ok? I've missed you, hmm?
Tad: Yeah, me, too. Me, too.
Dixie: Ok. Drive safe.
Tad: Ok.

Adam: Liza. You're trembling.
Liza: I can't -- I can't do this.
Adam: Yes, you can.
Liza: I can't.
Adam: Yes, you can. I'm trembling, too. Don't be afraid, darling. I love you.
Liza: No. No. Adam, I'm not -- I'm not -- this is too fast. Too soon. I'm not -- I'm not prepared for any of this to happen.
Adam: Neither was I. But I'm delighted it has.
Liza: Bet you are.
Adam: Liza, I know what you're feeling.
Liza: No. I don't think that you do
. Adam: Yes, I do. I've always be able to read you. You're disappointed in yourself because you've been denying what you really feel -- to me, to everyone, to yourself. It doesn't work because it's too strong. Don't you feel it? That kiss proved it.
Liza: No, it didn't.
Adam: I'm the last man on earth to give Tad Martin credit for anything, but he called it. You're not over me any more than I'm over you. Don't you realize it? We still love each other. Liza, I know you don't -- you hate being vulnerable in front of me. I feel the same way. Liza, the hell with pride. I've dreamed about holding you in my arms again. I want you. I think you want me. Please. It's inevitable.

Gillian: Why would I want to have dinner with you, David? Just thinking about it makes me lose my appetite.
David: Well, if you let me sit, I'll try to explain.
Gillian: No.
David: Gillian, I never meant for you to get hurt. You have to believe that.
Gillian: Of course. It's why you told me Jake's child wasn't his. That's why you gave me information that could destroy his life.
David: I wasn't out to destroy you or Jake. My argument was with Adam. Unfortunately, you stumbled into the crossfire.
Gillian: No, I didn't. You put me there.
David: All right. I allowed my anger to get the best of me. But I never meant to hurt you personally, Gillian, and that's the truth. Come on, Gillian. You don't want to walk around being bitter and lonely. I believe you have it in you to find forgiveness for me. Won't you try?
Gillian: Excuse me, sir?
Waiter: Yes?
Gillian: This gentleman here is harassing me. Would you please ask him to go back to his seat or have security show him to the door?

Greenlee: Remember freshman year when you borrowed my cashmere sweater without asking and I fire extinguished your closet?
Adair: How could I forget? That chemical almost suffocated me.
Greenlee: You so much as bat one eyelash at Ryan, and I'll finish the job with my bare hands.
Adair: Chill out.
Greenlee, I didn't realize that you had such a thing for this guy.
Greenlee: Consider yourself warned.
Hi.
Adair: It's been an experience seeing you again.
Greenlee: You, too.
Ryan: Who was that?
Greenlee: Oh, gosh. My old roommate, airhead Adair. Was that Midori on the phone?
Ryan: Yes, it was, and we're going to have to cut the evening just a little bit short.
Greenlee: You're kidding.
Ryan: No. He wants to see me right away. He's flying to Tokyo tonight, and he wants me to meet with some tech head tomorrow morning, early. He's got it all set up.
Greenlee: Oh.
Ryan: Well, I mean, you can stick around. Come with me.
Greenlee: With you where?
Ryan: To Midori's hotel room. He just gave me the keys to his suite. You don't mind spending the night with me in New York City, do you?
Greenlee: No, not at all. Anything for a good cause.
Ryan: Good. Great. Let's get the check.

David: I would say the fish was dry tonight.
Gillian: I'm not interested in your opinions, David.
David: Well, you should be. I eat here all the time. If you're trying to decide on dessert, I can highly recommend the Tiramisu.
Gillian: Then it's the last thing I'll have. Why aren't you with Erica tonight?
David: Erica is otherwise engaged for the evening.
Gillian: Well, good for Erica. That doesn't mean that I have to be stuck with you, though.
David: I felt sorry for you, Gillian. You looked so forlorn, all alone.
Gillian: It's because of you that I'm all alone.
David: No. It's because of Adam Chandler that you're hurting.
Gillian: Adam Chandler put me in this -- middle of this horrible lie, you did. It's because of you that I had to lie to my husband to protect him from getting hurt. it's because of you that I crashed my car and wound up in a hospital.
David: I am really sorry that you got hurt.
Gillian: So you say. That's a lie. Because you can't stand other people to be happy and in love. Everybody's not as wretched as you are.

Dixie: Well, why are you able to hang here with us. What's going on? You don't have to work tonight?
Adrian: Even I am entitled to an evening off every now and then.
Dixie: Oh, really, now? Well, you probably don't have anything better to do. Not that we don't totally joy having you here, of course.
Adrian: Yeah, of course.
Dixie: Yeah.
Adrian: Well, it just so happens that I don't have any pressing engagements for this evening.
Dixie: No? Nothing going on with Tina?
Adrian: No, there's nothing going on with Tina, Opal.
Dixie: I'm sorry. I just saw you guys at the Crystal Ball, and I thought you made a really cute couple. Not that you and Belinda weren't the perfect match.
Adrian: Yeah, well, I'm not exactly relationship material.
Dixie: Oh, please. I don't believe that for a second.
Adrian: No, I mean, look at my former job. It didn't actually, you know, lend itself to me spending time with a woman that I care about.
Dixie: Let's just make the emphasis on the word "former." Now, come on. Being the co-owner of a hot new salsa bar and restaurant isn't exactly dangerous work, unless you're allergic to Habanero peppers.
Adrian: Well, as Mom Alice says, I'm not really settled down yet.
Dixie: Well, that could change. You know, if you meet the right person. Timing is everything.
Adrian: But, of course, timing. The more time you spend with someone, the more those little quirks that you thought were so adorable turn out to grate on your nerves.
Dixie: Hmm. Listen to you. Big strong man afraid of a relationship.
Adrian: I am not afraid of a relationship. Won't you lighten up, Dix? Look, I'm just a little cautious, that's all.
Dixie: Well, maybe too cautious. You got to think of a relationship as being like an exciting adventure, you know? Sometimes complicated, sometimes mysterious, sometimes messy.
Adrian: Yeah.
Dixie: Usually hard. But more than worth it -- worth it in the end if you find the right person.
Adrian: You sound so sure of this relationship thing.
Dixie: Well, I know because I speak from experience. Tad and I have had our share of ups and downs, most certainly. But when I look at everything that we have, it's great. I think it's all been really worth it.
Adrian: Well, don't tell Tad this, but I think you two guys are great. You really are.
Dixie: Thanks. Well, don't tell Tad I said this, but the Tad that you see now is not the Tad that I got.
Adrian: Really?
Dixie: No, really. Tad was like this fast-talking, skirt-chasing ladies' man.
Adrian: Nerd boy?
Dixie: Yeah. Fluent in the art of deception. No. He's great. He's come a long way. I'm really proud of him. I'm so starving.
Adrian: Yeah.
Dixie: Where is he?

Liza: It could have been so wonderful.
Adam: What did you say, sweetheart?
Liza: I said it was wonderful.
Adam: Yes, it was. Always is.

Tad: Damn it.

[Doorbell rings]

Adam: Oh. No, no, no. Don't answer it. They'll go away.
Liza: Oh, no. No, it's probably Mother. You know she's going to let herself in. She's got that key. You have to go upstairs.
Adam: No. Ok. All right.
Liza: Do you understand --
Adam: Why should I be sneaking around in my own house?
Liza: If you're here and she sees you, she's is going to just badger me forever until she figures out what's going on.
Adam: Anything to get rid of your mother. Anything. But your mother and the rest of the world are going to have to get used to seeing us together again because -- and if they don't like it, they can, l-u-m-p, lump it.
Liza: Absolutely.

[Ring]

Adam: Yeah. Tell her to go away. And get that key back.

Marian: Liza.
Liza: Hi.
Marian: Well, thank goodness. What took you so long? Liza: Oh, mother.
Stuart.
Stuart: Hi.
Liza: What's that?
Stuart: It's for Adam. It's a present for Adam. It's an amaryllis.
Liza: Oh. It's beautiful.
Stuart: Yeah, they are. I need -- I didn't know it was so cold outside. It needs a little drink of warm water. I'm going to go in the kitchen.
Liza: Oh, you know what? I'll do it.
Stuart: Oh, no, no. I don't mind.
Liza: No, I --

Marian: Liza, are you all right? You looked a little flushed.
Liza: Mother, now's not a really good time.
Marian: Well, I'll make it a quickie, and I'll -- although it looks like you've already had one.
Liza: Mother.
Marian: Liza. How could you? You can't fall for Adam again, Liza. You just can't.

Man: So we'll need to factor in projected costs for the servers, web designers, copy editors, lawyers, office staff, accounting, etc.
Ryan: Got it.
Man: And I'll need you to put together a rough business plan for the first six months. Now, if you can send that to me by the time I get to Tokyo, I can line up our cash flow. Can you handle that?
Ryan: Absolutely. I got my mission statement and my projected target market right here, sir.
Man: Good. Then get to it.
Ryan: I will as soon as I order myself a pot of coffee.
Man: Whatever you need, charge it to the room. I've got a real good feeling about this, Ryan. And my tech man will help you iron out any major problems before we go full speed ahead.
Ryan: Great. Great. I'll fill him in, and then I'll e-mail you. I guess for backup, I'll have the hotel fax you in Tokyo. All right.

Man: Your agenda may be more personal than business, but I got to hand it to you, you picked a winner. Your fellow's going to make us all a lot of money.
Greenlee: Mr. Midori, did my grandfather make your role in this transaction clear? You never speak to me as though I had something to do with this deal. If Ryan finds out my family's bankrolling this project, you'll be filing for bankruptcy. Got it?
Mr. Midori: Absolutely.
Greenlee: Good. No more slip-ups. I have too much riding on this.

Ryan: We're set. We're set. I just need the name of your hotel in Tokyo, and the business plan will be waiting for you when you check in.
Mr. Midori: My itinerary's on the table. Now I'll leave you to your work. I'll be in touch, Ryan. Good evening, Ms. Smythe.

Ryan: I got a business plan to write.
Greenlee: Yeah. Well, let's get started. Are you ready?
Ryan: Am I ready? Are you kidding me? I've been waiting for a chance like this my whole life.

Dixie: I'm sorry. I really -- I don't mean to be pulling an Opal on you. If I'm being too pushy, you just tell me -- mind my own business.
Adrian: No, you're not being too pushy.
Dixie: Ok, good. Because I just want you to be happy, like I am. I want you to have a love in your life, like Tad and I do.
Adrian: Aw.
Dixie: Aw. And where is that man? For crying out loud. I'm going to call him. Where's his -- I'm going to call on his cell phone.
Adrian: Maybe he stopped off at Ruth and Joe's house. I mean, with him just getting out of jail and all.
Dixie: Well, maybe he did.

[Car approaches]

Dixie: But you know what? Methinks I just heard his car. No. It was. That's him.
Tad: Sorry. I'm sorry, honey. Listen, Roberto's screwed up the order. They had two Hawaiians ready to go.
Dixie: Hawaiians?
Tad: Yeah, Hawaiians. Go figure, you know? So I had to sit there while they made up two Supremos from scratch. And then I made the mistake of getting on Miller. There was some kind of traffic snafu. I think a tractor-trailer jackknifed or something. So, anyway, they're cold. I'm sorry.
Dixie: Oh, no. Don't worry about it. I'll pop them in the oven, and they'll be ready in 10 minutes, ok?
Tad: Thanks.
Dixie: Hey, boys! Dinner's going to be ready in 10 minutes. Wash your hands!

Tad: You will never guess what I just saw.
Adrian: I don't care. All right? You understand that? Whatever you saw, whatever you heard, all of it ends right now. You got that? Look, drop this thing.
Tad: Adrian, I can't let this go. Even if I wanted to, especially right now.
Adrian: Would you let Liza handle this?
Tad: Oh. I just saw how Liza intends to handle it. All over her living room.
Adrian: What?
Tad: She double-crossed me. I only went along with Liza because she swore to me she was going to take care of Adam. Well, she's taking care of him, all right. I just saw them making love on the couch.
Adrian: You know what? I don't want to hear any more of this.
Tad: Yeah, well, how do you think I feel? Now I got to sit down to pizza. My point is she conned me with all her talk about wanting to take care of him, get even with him, punish him. Oh, man. And I was stupid enough to let him walk out of that jail cell. After everything the man has done to her, how could she be stupid enough to let him touch her?
Adrian: Would you please stay out of this?
Tad: She's hopeless. I'm going to have to send her away to rehab.
Adrian: No, you're hopeless. Let this thing go. Family is the most important thing.
Tad: Adrian, I am doing this because of my family. Don't you get it? Because that man has terrorized my family. And he's not going to get a chance to do it again, not if I have anything to say about it.
Adrian: Your family is strong, Tad. They'll get over this.
Tad: That's not the point. My brother -- Jake's marriage just went up in flames, ok? He just lost a child. My mother and father lost a grandchild that they love dearly. My wife, my children, everybody is affected, Adrian. Do you think that's fair?
Adrian: No, it's not fair. But Jake's a strong man. He'll get over it, just like the rest of your family, unless you continue this thing with Adam.
Tad: It's not about continuing this thing with Adam. It's about preventing a sociopath from terrorizing my family.
Adrian: So, what, you're going to do it instead? You are going to wreck everything that you and Dixie have worked so hard for?
Tad: You don't get it, do you? He hasn't stopped. This isn't random. The Martins are his mark. Now, what do you suggest I do, huh? Close my eyes and turn my back and let him do it to us one by one?
Adrian: Of course not.

Dixie: We're all set up in the kitchen, guys. Come and get it.

Marian: Liza, you slept with him?
Liza: Would you keep your voice down? I had to.
Marian: Why?
Liza: I had to get him to trust me. I had to get him to think I still loved him.
Marian: But you don't, right? I mean, you have no feelings for him at all, do you?
Liza: No. Of course not.
Marian: Darling, don't lie to me. I know all about passion, and you and Adam have more than your fair share of that.
Liza: Mother, I only did what I did so I could get him to sign the power of attorney.
Marian: Oh, really? So where is it?
Liza: You and Stuart, you knocked on the door. You interrupted us before I get him to sign it.
Marian: Liza, you're smarter than this. You should have held out till you had it in your hand. And anyway, you have to do it in front of a notary.
Liza: Well, I forgot about that.
Marian: Yes. It seems like you've trumped your own ace, darling. What makes you think Adam's going to give you power of attorney now?
Liza: Ok, I need a favor from you. Do you still have the notary seal that you carry around?
Marian: I always have it right here in my purse.
Liza: Ok, great. Then I need a favor. You leave this here. You take Stuart, you go home, you tell him you forgot your purse, and then come back and get it.
Marian: Oh, darling --
Liza: Mother, I know what I'm doing.
Marian: Well, I hope you do, Liza. I really hope you do.
Stuart: That amaryllis -- in a couple of days, it's going to have two huge new blooms on it. Isn't nature grand? It's wonderful. It's just beautiful. It just keeps renewing itself. You know? That's why I thought it would be a good present for Adam from me because it would mean -- because I'm sorry for what I did, but yet everything's going to be ok.
Liza: What are you sorry about, Stuart?
Stuart: Well, I practically accused him of trying to ruin my marriage by setting up that awful Paolo person with Marian. I feel bad I even thought he was capable of something so awful.
Liza: You know, Stuart, it's a logical assumption. And I've thought it myself, and sometimes I still do. Stuart: Oh, no.
No. I looked Adam in the eye and asked him straight out. And he promised me that he didn't have anything to do with it. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings by asking him.
Marian: Stuart, Liza was just in the middle of something. So why don't we come back tomorrow when's Adam available.
Stuart: Oh, ok. We interrupting something?
Liza: No. It's ok. I'll just tell Adam that you stopped by. Hope you have good night.
Stuart: Ok. Good night.
Marian: Good night. Bye, darling.

Adam: Oh. I thought they'd never leave. Now we can pick up where we left off.

Ryan: Man, I wish I brought a laptop.
Greenlee: Well, I'm sure the hotel can you get you one. Are you ready to start inputting? Here.
Ryan: Almost. Almost. Thanks to you.
Greenlee: All I did was pour.
Ryan: Greenlee, please. You did a whole lot more than that. You know it, and I know it.
Greenlee: What do you mean by that?
Ryan: You've been behind me from the beginning. You helped me come up with the name IncredibleDreams.com.
Greenlee: No. You came up with the name. I just registered it.
Ryan: Oh, well, you let me practice my pitch to Midori on you.
Greenlee: Oh, how hard can that be? You did all the talking.
Ryan: Greenlee, face it. You were instrumental in this whole project.
Greenlee: I was just helping out a pal.
Ryan: Yeah, well, this pal appreciates it. Now, let me call the front desk and get that computer up here.

Greenlee: Did you make your call?
Ryan: Yes. Yes, I did. They're going to bring up a printer, a laptop, the works.
Greenlee: Then we won't have to leave.
Ryan: My thoughts exactly.
Greenlee: Ryan, what is it?
Ryan: Well, there's something I need to ask you, and it's kind of personal.
Greenlee: Go ahead.
Ryan: Why have you done all this for me, Greenlee?
Greenlee: Don't you know?
Ryan: Oh, I know now.

Greenlee: Did you make your call?
Ryan: Yeah. Yeah, I did. They're going to bring up the laptop, the printer, and we don't even have to leave the room.
Greenlee: Good. I didn't want to go out, anyway.
Ryan: No. Me, neither.
Greenlee: Really?
Ryan: Yeah.
Greenlee: You can ask me anything, Ryan. Anything at all.
Ryan: I'm just a little bit -- I don't know -- embarrassed about bringing it up.
Greenlee: Don't be embarrassed by anything you say to me, Ryan, or ask me.
Ryan: Well, we haven't really talked much about your involvement in this project.
Greenlee: My involvement? You mean, like why I helped you?
Ryan: Yes. Yes. You've pretty much been fulfilling your role, and we haven't even officially talked about it.
Greenlee: What role? Ryan: Partner.
Greenlee: Partner? You think of me as your partner?
Ryan: Yes. Yeah, I do. I want to go 50-50 with you. I mean, that's fair, right? I'm sure Midori's not going to mind.
Greenlee: You want me to be a partner in your company?
Ryan: Yes. Yes. We'll get the official paperwork all done. You can sign it and go from there. Think about it. All right?
Greenlee: Oh. Wow. But -- but you know what? I don't have to think about it. I'm going to pass.
Ryan: Are you sure? Because like I --
Greenlee: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. You know, my grandfather always says don't mix business with friendship. And this is one of those times I'm going to listen to him. If you tell him that, I'll deny it.
Ryan: It doesn't seem fair, Greenlee. You've helped out so much.
Greenlee: Oh, no. It's totally -- it's ok, Ryan, really. I've got money, and like you said, I just -- I need a friend. And besides, I didn't get involved with this because of the money. I just -- I want to see you have the success that you deserve.
Ryan: Thank you, Greenlee. But the offer still stands in case you change your mind, all right? Hey, Green. You're exhausted.
Greenlee: No, I'm not. I'm not.
Ryan: Yes, you are. Why don't you go lie down.
Greenlee: What? Aren't you tired?
Ryan: Me? Are you kidding me? I'm too wired to think about sleep. I got to input all this into the computer, finally, when it gets here.
Greenlee: Well, I can do it for you.
Ryan: I type faster than you do. Go to bed.
Greenlee: All right. Well, maybe I'll just take a nap.
Ryan: All right. Take a nap.
Greenlee: Ok. Well, what about you? What if you get tired? Where are you going to sleep?
Ryan: Well, if I finish, I'll just hit the couch.
Greenlee: All right. Well, I'm just going to close my eyes, and I'll check in on you when I wake up.
Ryan: Ok. I'll be here. Good night. And thank you again.
Greenlee: Good night, Ryan. It's been a great night.
Ryan: Yes, it has.

David: Let me buy you dinner.
Gillian: No, thank you. David, would you please leave me alone? Chivalry died in you a long time ago.
David: Gillian, I'm not the villain you're making me out to be.
Gillian: I know exactly who and what you are. I came here to have a nice meal, and now I can't even remember what I ate. So do me a favor. Next time, let me eat in peace.

David: Being nice never gets me anywhere. Why the hell do I even try?

Dixie: Well, thank you for everything, Adrian. I'm so glad you could stay for dinner.
Adrian: Yeah. Me, too. If I didn't say it before, welcome home.
Tad: Drive safe.
Adrian: Good evening.
Dixie: Bye. Well, I agree with Adrian. If I didn't say it before, welcome home.
Tad: I should go away more often. Either that, or invite him over for pizza. Where is that from?
Dixie: I am just so glad that you decided to, you know, end this whole Adam mess so we can get on with our lives. Thank you so much for choosing your family over your vendetta.
Tad: Sweetheart, listen to me. Nothing is more important to me than my family. You and the boys, you come first. You know that, right?
Dixie: I know. I do. Ok?
Tad: Ok?
Dixie: So, tell me something.
Tad: What?
Dixie: Did you think about anything else while you were in the stir other than Banana Splits?
Tad: Yes. About a couple of things, as a matter of fact.
Dixie: Yeah?
Tad: Mm-hmm.
Dixie: You want to talk about those things? You know, the boys are upstairs. Yeah. I'll race you to the bed.
Tad: Give you a head start. Go. I lied.

Adam: There she is. Hello, sweetheart. I have ached to see you.
Liza: Oh, I tell you, she was fussy when you were in prison.
Adam: Really? Do you think she missed ?
Liza: Oh, I think she did. She knows you're her father. I think that she does somehow.
Adam: Well, I've told her that often enough. Hi.
Liza: Yeah. Amazing. I didn't think I could ever really see this as a reality, that we're a family, you know? A real family.
Adam: I knew it would work out. And I knew it was worth it. Sweetheart, do you understand now why I did it?
Liza: Yes. But --
Adam: What? What is it?
Liza: Oh, I think it's just that slippery rug phobia. You know, when things are going too well, you think someone's going to pull the rug out from underneath you.
Adam: No. No. Nothing is going to wrong. Everything's out in the open now. We have it all.
Liza: No, don't. Don't tempt fate. Not with you going off to South America. I think it's kind of scary when you have it all, you know, because then you have it all to lose.
Adam: Oh, sweetheart. If you're that upset about it, I'll cancel the trip.
Liza: No. What, and lose the factory? No, Adam, you can't blow the deal. What, just because I'm feeling a little emotional?
Adam: Well, what will take to make you feel better? What if I -- what about this paper?

Marian: Liza, darling.
Adam: Oh.
Marian: Sorry, my purse -- I -- oh. Hello, Adam. What are you doing here?
Liza: Mother, we're in the middle of some very important business.
Adam: Yes, we are, Marian. Good-bye.
Marian: Oh, really? Well, don't trust him, darling. For God's sake, don't sign anything.
Adam: Liza does trust me, Marian. And as fate would have it, I'm the one that's signing something right now. I'm giving her power of attorney while I'm out of the country.
Marian: What are you trying to pull, Adam? You know it's not legal if you don't sign in front of a notary public.
Adam: Were you born to give me trouble?
Liza: You know what? Adam, she's right. It wouldn't even be legal, so just forget it, all right? There's no -- there's no reason. I can be brave for Colby's sake.
Adam: No, no, no, no. You're in real estate, marginally. Aren't you a notary?
Marian: Yes. I even have a seal in my purse.
Adam: Fine. Then witness and seal.
Marian: Ok. Thank you. Ok.
Perfect. Adam: Feel better?
Liza: Much.
Adam: Ah.



On the next "All My Children"

Palmer: My patience and my money are just about to wear out.

Paolo: As much as I'm hurting right now, I can make it twice as painful for you.

Jack: Somebody, Alex, is lying.

Liza: I love you, too, Adam.
Tad: You double-crossed me.
