Mr. Miller: Ahem. Thank you for meeting me on such short notice, Mr. Lavery.
Leo: Yeah, well, a phone call at the crack of dawn isn't exactly my favorite wake-up call.
Mr. Miller: I find sleep highly overrated. Thank you. Have you eaten?
Leo: Coffee's fine.
Mr. Miller: You really should have something more substantial, you know? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Leo: I'll file that.
Mr. Miller: Oatmeal to lower the cholesterol, scrambled egg whites to boost the protein, and a glass of liquid sunshine to wash it all down. Thank you.
Waitress: Coming right up.
Leo: Look, Mr. Miller, why exactly did you want to see me?
Mr. Miller: Not much for small talk, eh, Mr. Lavery? You know, you can judge civilization by its ability to converse on nothing in particular.
Leo: Right. Ok, so, if you wouldn't mind --
Mr. Miller: The bottom line, Mr. Lavery, is I advanced you a large sum of cash.
Leo: Right, and my first payment isn't due until next week.
Mr. Miller: Oh, I'm not interested in your money at the moment. I want payback.

Greenlee: How long has Leo du Pres been here?
Waitress: I called you as soon as he came in, just like you asked.
Greenlee: Good work.
Waitress: Any time.

Leo: Payback? What, it's not going to land me in Statesville or wearing a pair of cement loafers --
Mr. Miller: No, not at all, nor will I bestow the kiss of death upon you or any of the other stereotypes that are affiliated with my profession.
Leo: What do you want from me?
Mr. Miller: I want you to take me on a ride -- upon your yacht, the good ship Fidelity. I'm in the mood for a sea cruise.

Ryan: Hey! Leo!

[Leo sighs]

Mr. Miller: "Leo"?

David: Dixie.
Dixie: Hey. You look tired.
David: Wait a minute. What are you doing here?
Dixie: Waiting for you.
David: Are you all right?
Dixie: I'm fine. I think I'm better than you. Why don't you sit down, take a load off. I'll get you a cup of coffee.
David: Yeah, thanks. You sure you're ok?
Dixie: I'm fine. No Leslie lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce.
David: Don't joke about it. She is a real threat.
Dixie: Not anymore.
David: I stopped taking Leslie for granted two lives ago.
Dixie: She's not a cat. Only cats have nine lives.
David: The woman survived a fall from a building, Dixie. Her hatred seems to have made her indestructible.
Dixie: You are tired.
David: Yeah, no kidding. Where's Edmund? He's supposed to be looking out for you.
Dixie: Edmund dropped me off here, and he went to go see Alex.
David: Oh.
Dixie: How is she?
David: No, I finally got her condition stabilized.
Dixie: Oh. Well, that's great. She's really lucky to have you as a doctor.
David: Yeah. Try to convince her of that. You still haven't told me why you're here.
Dixie: I missed you.
David: Hey --

[Knock on door]

Joe: Dixie?
Dixie: Hi, Joe, Derek.
David: What can I do for you two gentlemen?
Joe: Sorry. Derek has some questions for you.
David: Really?
Derek: Yeah, regarding Leslie Coulson's disappearance from the hospital.
Dixie: Well, that's kind of ridiculous because we were together when Leslie disappeared, ok? So, he doesn't have anything to do with it.
Derek: Yeah, I still need to question Dr. Hayward. In private.
David: It's all right. I'll see you in a few minutes, ok?
Dixie: Ok.
David: Would you like a cup of coffee, Lieutenant?
Derek: Just information.
David: Well, you're wasting your time with me. I can't help you find Ms. Coulson.
Derek: No?
David: Uh-uh. You want to find Leslie? I suggest you talk to her lover, Tad Martin.

Tad: Jake? The prodigal returns.
Jake: You son of a -- get in here. Where the hell have you been?
Tad: Taking a sabbatical from my wonderful life. Hey.
Jake: I'll tell you right now, you have Mom, Dad, everybody worried. Not one phone call. You know how many messages I left on your cell phone?
Tad: Millions. I know, I know, I got them. I got them, ok? I just didn't think I was fit for human companionship. I'm sorry. I like what you've done with the place.
Jake: Yeah, well, I'm glad you approve.
Tad: Yeah.
Jake: You going to tell me what's going on with you?
Tad: I just did. I had to take a break from my life. And I'm sure you understand all about that.
Jake: I understand how that can be.
Tad: Yeah, but I'm no war hero, so, I didn't go halfway around the planet. I just found myself a nice motel with cable television, a pool, and a coffee shop named Avi's. Really living large, I guess that's what they call it.
Jake: I hope you returned with some answers.
Tad: Yeah. Don't order the veal parmesan at Avi's.
Jake: I wouldn't do that. Glad you're back.
Tad: I missed you, too. I didn't have much of a choice, though. That last message you left was a real attention-getter. Hayward actually tried to convince Leslie's sister to pull the plug?
Jake: It gets even better. She's disappeared from the hospital.
Tad: What do you mean, disappeared?
Jake: She's vanished. Someone went into the ER and took a comatose woman out of there. And nobody knows where she is.

Ryan: Leo!
Leo: Leo -- that's my sun sign. My friend's into all that stuff. He's a little bit weird. Yo, Gemini, what's happening, buddy?
Ryan: What?
Leo: How you doing? Uh -- I'll be right with you. Uh -- will you excuse me for a second? I'll be right there.

Ryan: What'd you call me?
Leo: Nothing.
Ryan: Who is that guy?
Leo: Nobody. You looking for me?
Ryan: Yeah, kind of. You had a meeting with Laura this morning.
Leo: Oh! I'm sorry. I forgot.
Ryan: Yeah, we figured that. That's why we're having a working breakfast here -- you know, Laura, Gillian, me.

Leo: So, why'd you guys come down here? Stavros makes the best Eggs Benny around.
Ryan: Gillian wanted to do some shopping for her trousseau.
Leo: Oh.
Ryan: Thank you for getting all that bank stuff worked out and getting my cash back.
Leo: Hey, that's what friends are for, right?
Laura: Hey, Leo, just so you know, I'm not even insulted that you blew off our meeting this morning.
Leo: Good, great. Let's reschedule.
Laura: No, but the reason I'm not insulted is because these pictures I made for you prove that I am gifted beyond belief. Just check out this talent.
Leo: Look, I got to go. I got to -- I'm sorry.

Ryan: What'd we do to him?
Laura: Oh, no. It's not you. Leo has developed an allergic reaction to me.
Ryan: No, I don't think so. I don't think so.
Laura: It's ok, you know. I'm -- I'm getting used to being treated like toxic waste.

Ryan: Hey, hey --
Gillian: What's going on with --
Ryan: Gillian, I don't know, she's upset.
Gillian: I'm going to go check --
Ryan: Yeah.

Leo: I can't take you out on the yacht.
Mr. Miller: Why is that, Mr. Lavery? She seems like a seaworthy vessel to me.
Leo: Oh, she is, she is, but she's also our operating base and we always keep her anchored during the -- during the operating hours. Mr. Miller: Then I recommend you suspend business for the day and we weigh anchor.
Leo: I can't. I can't. It's impossible. Mr. Miller: Ahem, Mr. Lavery, you are putting me in a very difficult position. Do you understand that I have associates who I have told that I have access to a yacht today? I have told them that we are going on a sea cruise later this afternoon.
Leo: You're going to have to tell your associates --
Mr. Miller: Mr. Lavery, do you know what leverage is? Leverage is what I have over you because you're in my debt. Now, you listen to me. We're going out on a yacht today, or you're going to pay back your loan in full today. Your choice. Cash out, ship out.

Joe: Why don't we go down to the cafeteria and grab a cup of coffee?
Dixie: This is really not fair, Joe. Derek has no right to be in there interrogating David.
Joe: He's questioning David. David's not the only one. Derek has also talked to almost the entire ICU staff, including Jake, including me.
Dixie: Oh, well, that's great. I'm sure Jake couldn't wait to point the finger at David, accuse him of kidnapping Leslie.
Joe: We answered Derek's questions as honestly as we could.
Dixie: You're hardly impartial, Joe. You want David in jail because Tad wants David in jail. I know how the Martins work. You guys all stick tether.
Joe: You're a Martin, too, Dixie. You're always going to be family to us, no matter what choices you make.
Dixie: Joe --
Joe: Let me say something, though. We are not out to lynch David. If you choose to be with him rather than with my son -- well, of course, it makes me very sad. You're like a daughter to me. But I don't want to see you get hurt.
Dixie: David's not going to hurt me. Why does everybody think he's going to hurt me, for crying out loud? Tad hurt me.
Joe: I know, I know, and you think there's no hope for your marriage. Well, maybe you're right, maybe not. It's not for me to say. But nobody is out to cause problems for you or for David. I mean, if you want to spend your life with David, we'll accept it. It's going to take time, but we'll accept it. And I think Tad will, too, in time.
Dixie: Have you heard from Tad?
Joe: No, we haven't Ruth's going crazy.
Dixie: Well, you know, e last time he disappeared, he went to that diner in the desert, The Queen of Hearts Cafe. You might want to check out there.
Joe: Oh, yeah. Ok. Thank you. I'll give them a call.
Dixie: You know, Joe, I know Tad as well as anybody, and I know he wouldn't abandon Junior and Jamie. He loves them. He'll come home. I'm sorry, Joe. I'm so sorry.

Jake: You know who kidnapped Leslie?
Tad: No. But I'd bet cash money on David Hayward.
Jake: Well, that's my theory, but what's up with the grin?
Tad: Well, come on. Isn't it obvious? It's so his MO. Just when you think you get the noose around his neck, he cuts himself loose. I swear, you almost got to admire the guy.
Jake: Not me, brother.
Tad: Oh, come on, Jake. Give the devil his due. Not even Houdini could spirit a comatose woman out of a crowded hospital without somebody seeing him. That's exactly what David's done, and apparently, he pulled it off. And, of course, there's no case against him without Leslie. So, once again, the great Davini is faster than all of us. And let's not forget, he gets the girl.
Jake: Not if you fight back.
Tad: What do you suggest I do? I'm exhausted. I mean, it's ridiculous. The harder I try to nail David, the less Dixie wants to have anything to do with me. What's for breakfast?
Jake: Why don't you just forget about breakfast. What's wrong with you?
Tad: Nothing's wrong with me. I'm stating the obvious. Come on, you know? Maybe the best man won.
Jake: I'll tell you right now, I can't even believe these words are coming out of Tad Martin's mouth. You don't just roll over and play dead just because this guy gets a little edge on you.
Tad: A little e-- where have you been? Why don't you wake up and smell what's left of my life.
Jake, I'm floating in garbage here, ok? And only a fool refuses to start over sometime. And if you don't approve of that, well, I'm sorry. Well, then, just to hell with you.
Jake: Hey, hey, wait a second, hang on. What are you going to do, run off, take another road trip?
Tad: Maybe coming back was a bad idea, ok?
Jake: I'll tell you what the bad idea is. First of all, you're surrendering your wife. Number one's the bad idea. Number two is letting David Hayward run you out of town.
Tad: Worked for you, didn't it?
Jake: Yeah, you're right. When I lost Colby, my whole world fell apart. I left the woman that I loved because it was too damn hard to stay. And I foolishly placed myself into a war zone to get out of it.
Tad: Yeah, well, at least you rescued those kids.
Jake: Yeah, guess I did something right, didn't I, despite my death wish. That's right, I never told you that, did I? I didn't want to live anymore, Tad. I can't tell you how many nights that I prayed that one of those bombs was going to fall on my head and take me out. And you know what happened? Funny thing happened. I got shot. And it woke me up. And I realized that I wanted it back. I wanted my life back. Good or bad, I wanted it all back. And I wanted to feel the pain. I didn't want to run from it anymore. And I wanted to come back here. I wanted to fight for what's mine. And that's what you got to do. You got to fight for what's yours. You got to fight for your life. And fight for Dixie.
Tad: Ok, you want to know the truth? I went away to get my head straight and Dixie was with me the entire time, every minute of every day. The funny thing is, you know what you remember? Things you get homesick for? They aren't the big things. The little moments floating around the back of your head. You don't even know they're there till all of a sudden, you're putting on your shoes, you're pulling a soda out of a machine, and, wham. It's two years ago during the summer, I'm trying to take a nap on the sofa, kids are down the block, and Dixie's in the kitchen playing "brown-eyed girl." And she comes in the living room, she's wearing a t-shirt, my boxer shorts, looking gorgeous. Tries to make me laugh, pulls me up, you know, starts fooling around, trying to get me to dance. Then she kisses me. And the only thing I could think was this is it. This is the sole reason I'm here and it doesn't get much better than this.
Jake: You can have it back. You got to want it bad enough.
Tad: I'm afraid to want it.
Jake: Hey, you don't have any -- you don't have any choice, Tad.
Tad: Yes, I do. Oh, yes, I do. I could cut and run.
Jake: There's no way that's going to happen. You know why? Because you don't have the power to make it happen. Everything -- look at how many times things have come between you and Dixie. You've always fought your way back together.
Tad: Yeah, well, David Hayward wasn't in the picture then.
Jake: Look at Liza. You survived that. The loss of your baby. What about last summer when you were out in the desert? You gave up on yourself. Who went after you? Who went after you and found you and brought you back? Dixie never gave up on you, never. How can you possibly think of giving up on her? There's a reason that we're all here, Tad. Your reason, your reason and Dixie's reasons is your love for each other. I believe that. And I think that you have a responsibility to show the rest of us poor slobs what it's all about. You know that in your heart.
Tad: You're not going to give up on this, are you?
Jake: No.
Tad: Why?
Jake: Because. You and Dixie are the stuff that dreams are made of. And you give up on that dream, big brother, I got nothing to believe in.

Laura: Stupid! I'm so stupid!
Gillian: No, no, no, no. No, don't say that, don't say that.
Laura: Gillian, look at me, all right? Leo blows me off and I have a meltdown.
Gillian: Listen, you guys did have a meeting, right?
Laura: Yeah, and Leo forgot. I mean, life happened, but I turned into, like, this water park.
Gillian: If it helps you to talk, then you know you can talk to me.
Laura: No, no, it's ok, I'm fine.
Gillian: Are you sure? Because you look a little tired.
Laura: Yeah. I just -- I haven't had any sleep since my mom's been out of town. It's nothing that a good night's sleep won't help. I'm just a walking case of sleep deprivation.
Gillian: See, I think you have a case of Leo. You like him. You like him a lot.
Laura: Did Ryan tell you that?
Gillian: No. No. I could see the way you looked at him.
Laura: Great. The whole world knows I have a thing for Leo. This is beyond embarrassing. I have to put a stop to this.

Leo: I'll see what I can do about the boat.
Mr. Miller: Good.
Leo: Ok. Mr. Miller: You see how nice life can be when everybody cooperates?

[Telephone rings]

Mr. Miller: Excuse me. Ahem. Yes. Yes, Quincy. Hello. Yes, yes. No, everything's fine. Everything's agreed upon. Mr. Lavery is going to --

Leo: Ryan. Sorry about before, man.
Ryan: Hey, no problem. Are you going to tell me who your happy friend is over there?
Leo: That's Mr. Miller. He's an old friend of my mother's.
Ryan: Oh, and so you got stuck, like, showing him around Pine Valley and all that kind of stuff?
Leo: No, no, not exactly. He -- well, he actually just came into some money and he's -- he's thinking about -- well, a small fortune, really, and he's sort of thinking about investing in the company maybe.
Ryan: Really?
Leo: Yeah.
Ryan: Well, did you show him our prospectus?
Leo: Not yet. He's what you might call a hard sell.
Ryan: Well, get him over here. We'll talk.
Leo: No, no, it's -- that'd be too obvious. This guy, we have to give him the velvet glove treatment. You know what I mean? Like seduce him into investing.
Ryan: Ok. So, like what? Striptease and a ticker tape parade? What are you trying to say? What?
Leo: Well, no, actually, he's into luxury cruising. I was thinking maybe we could take him on the Fidelity for a while.
Ryan: Yeah, absolutely.
Leo: Maybe take it out for a spin.
Ryan: Definitely not.
Leo: Why not?
Ryan: Because you know we take the boat out, we lose our computer interface.
Leo: Well, we can -- we'll just have Phil reboot when we get back to the port.
Ryan: Listen, do you have any idea how much money it costs for me to fuel it up, take it out for a few days? I can't afford that right now.
Leo: We charge it to Adam.
Ryan: Yeah, and then he'll have us both killed. The boat is staying where it is right now.
Leo: Well, it's your company. You want to lose a major investor, it's your head, not mine.
Ryan: Look, no skin off your nose, huh, Leo? You got nothing to lose in any of this? You want to tell me who Mr. Miller really is and why he's got you sweating?
Laura: Um -- Leo, can I talk to Ryan privately?
Leo: Yep. He's all yours.
Ryan: You ok?
Laura: Yeah. I'm totally relieved because this is me quitting.

Mr. Miller: My associates are looking forward to our sea cruise.
Leo: Yeah. Well, about that --
Mr. Miller: You're not going to disappoint me, are you, Mr. Lavery?
Leo: No.
Mr. Miller: Good.
Leo: No. I wouldn't even dream of it.
Mr. Miller: Because I don't wear disappointment very well.
Leo: Ok, yeah, ok. Well, I just have to make a few phone calls and clear up the afternoon and free up my schedule.
Mr. Miller: Who is she?
Leo: Who is who?
Mr. Miller: The one with the porcelain skin, the beauty.
Leo: That's Laura.
Mr. Miller: Raven tresses and very dark black flashing eyes.
Leo: Oh, you mean Gillian.
Mr. Miller: I have to meet her.
Leo: I hate to ruin a good dream, Mr. Miller, but Gillian's already taken.
Waitress: More coffee, gentlemen?

David: I'm telling you, Lieutenant, continuing this interrogation is pointless. I've told you everything that I know.
Derek: Yeah, well, let's go over it again in case there are some details you've forgotten.
David: A comatose patient disappearing from the ICU is not exactly something one would overlook.
Derek: You were last seen with Ms. Coulson in the presence of her sister Pamela Perotti.
David: Guilty.
Derek: And according to Jake Martin, you urged Mrs. Parotid to take her sister off of life support.
David: Yes, but I was overruled, whereupon I spirited Ms. Coulson out of the hospital to my hidden dungeon.
Derek: You think this is funny, Doctor?
David: I think it's a waste of time, Lieutenant. I did not kidnap Leslie Coulson. I lack the time, the motive, and the opportunity.
Derek: We can't rule out motive.
David: Oh, yeah, that's right, I forgot. She has the so-called goods on me. I wanted to "shut her up permanently."
Derek: Is that true?
David: The truth is this -- Leslie tried to kill Dixie, and I love Dixie. Therefore, she's not my favorite person. But I had nothing to do with her disappearance.
Derek: Yeah, you save lives, you don't destroy them. I've heard it before.
David: I'm not trying to be lofty, Lieutenant. I want my job. And, yes, I want to be with Dixie. Not necessarily in that order, mind you. But you want to speak about motive? I suggest you talk to Tad Martin, if you can find him.
Derek: Because of Tad's reputed one-night stand with Leslie?
David: Reputed? No, no, no, no, no. No. Self-confessed. And one-night stand doesn't exactly capture the Tad/Leslie dynamic.
Derek: You think Tad has Ms. Coulson squirreled away somewhere?
David: You'll notice that Tad has left town. No one knows where he is. So, yes, I suspect he has Leslie holed up somewhere, trying to get her to sign some deathbed confession incriminating me.
Derek: But you maintain your innocence.
David: Well, I wouldn't exactly say that. I am guilty of at least one thing -- falling in love with Tad Martin's wife.

Dixie: You know, Joe, sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I reach across the bed and I -- I'm actually surprised that Tad isn't there. My whole life seems so empty without him. And then I think about how easy it was for him to just throw everything that we had away. And I think -- you know, I tell him I don't know who he is anymore. But the funny thing is, is I just don't know if I know who I am, either.
Joe: Yet you still reach across the bed for Tad. Why do you suppose that is?
Dixie: Because I miss our life together. I miss Tad.

Tad: Dixie?
Dixie: A lot of -- a lot of things have happened, you know, since you've been gone.
Tad: I know. I heard. But don't think it's a very good idea to talk about that right now. How are you?
Dixie: Oh, you know, I'm ok. Taking it day by day, minute by minute.
Tad: How are the boys? All right?
Dixie: Yeah, they're ok. They're good. They're having a great time in St. Bart's. They're snorkeling and scuba diving, and -- I think the whole thing's been really good for JR.
Tad: Yeah, sometimes you can't see very clearly except from a distance. I should know. I miss you very much.
Dixie: I miss you, too -- and the boys. It's going to be really great to see them tomorrow.
Tad: They're coming back today.
Dixie: No, tomorrow. Brooke said they were coming back Thursday.
Tad: It is Thursday.
Dixie: Oh. Oh, well, I -- I didn't -- I didn't -- I didn't sleep much last night, so I --
Tad: It's ok. No, it's all right, seriously. It's easy to do.
Dixie: Well, I should go. I've got to go to Brooke's and pick up --
Tad: Listen, it's not -- it's kind of messy outside. It's a little slick, so I would feel better, you know, if you take my car, the four-by-four, so your car --
Dixie: Tad, I don't need to take your car. It's warming up. I'll be fine.
Tad: Just do it for me, ok, as a favor? I just want you to be safe. No matter what happens, I always want you to be safe. I love you very much.

Mr. Miller: Mr. Lavery? Mr. Lavery?
Leo: Yes.
Mr. Miller: What did you mean when you said the young lady has been taken?
Leo: Uh -- will you excuse me? All this coffee, and my back teeth are floating.

Ryan: You're quitting.
Laura: Yeah. I mean, you can have all the promo shots from the contest, but I'm just -- I'm done.
Gillian: I hate that this is happening, I really do, but I think that this is something you need to work out, ok? If you'll please excuse me.
Ryan: Sure.

Ryan: I don't want you to quit.
Laura: Listen, Ryan, it's a done deal.
Ryan: I'll put you on salary.
Laura: No, it's not about the money.
Ryan: Well, then, it's about Leo. He's been acting like a jerk lately.
Laura: Yeah, something like that.
Ryan: Ok. What if I can work it that Leo's not a problem?
Laura: I don't think so.
Ryan: Laura, you're very valuable to the company. I don't want to lose you, and Leo -- I mean, I like him, but he's a flake. Really, so if have to choose between you and Leo, I choose you.
Laura: Really?
Ryan: Yeah. I'll fire Leo. You stay on in the company. Can you live with that?

Leo: Hello? Hello, here I am, in the girls' bathroom. Greenlee?
Greenlee: Oh, who'd you expect, the tidy bowl man?
Leo: I'm out of here.
Greenlee: Oh -- you need me, Leo.
Leo: No, I think that you're the one in mortal danger, Greenlee. What's the threat this time? You going to flush yourself out to sea?
Greenlee: Ha-ha. You don't have to save me, Leo. This time it's Greenlee to the rescue.
Leo: No, I don't need rescuing.
Greenlee: I've been watching you. You're deep into something dark and dangerous.
Leo: What, have you been stalking me?
Greenlee: Think of me as your guardian angel.
Leo: Can't do it. Lousy picture, no reception.
Greenlee: Oh, come on, Leo. You are so focused on whatever your problem is, you didn't even notice me. But I saw you with your hands practically wrapped around some guy's neck.
Leo: A business deal went south.
Greenlee: So you asked step daddy dearest Palmer Cortlandt for some cash, and he laughed in your face. Out of desperation, you went to that shark out there. I saw you running interference between him and Ryan.
Leo: You have been stalking me.
Greenlee: And you'll thank me for it. So how much do you owe?
Leo: What?
Greenlee: Cash, dinero, money?
Leo: No. Nada. Niente.
Greenlee: Remember our tropical island getaway? When you found out that the ransom money you borrowed was marked? You have that same desperate, panicky look on your face right now. So what'd you do, embezzle funds from Ryan's dot-com?
Leo: I'm not having this conversation, Greenlee.
Greenlee: Look, I don't care what you did. Just tell me how much you need and I'll cover the debt, no questions asked.
Leo: You are really something else. You know that?
Greenlee: Just tell me how much you need to make the big bad bogeyman go away.

[Leo sighs]

Leo: I -- I can't do it, Greenlee. You're the last person that I want to take money from.
Greenlee: Oh, please. Don't go all noble on me. It's ok to take the cash. And it's ok to finally admit it.
Leo: Admit what?
Greenlee: That you need me -- always have, always will.
Leo: Oh. That's what this is. You want me to admit that I'm totally lost without you. That's what this is about.
Greenlee: Well, maybe not totally lost. But on the outskirts.
Leo: You really are something else.
Greenlee: Thank you. Now let's get this mess taken care of and forget about all our silly misunderstandings and go back to the way we used to be. So? How much?
Leo: Put your checkbook away, Greenlee.
Greenlee: You want cash? Fine. I'll go to my bank.
Leo: No, I don't need your money. And I don't need you.
Greenlee: Leo, you're in trouble, big bad trouble.
Leo: Then I'll find my own way out of it, ok? If I don't, I die. If you care so much, come to my funeral, but I will be damned if I ever come to you for anything.

Ryan: So you stay on at incredibledreams.com and I fire Leo. What do you say?
Laura: No. No. You can't fire Leo.
Ryan: I wasn't going to fire Leo
Laura: What?
Ryan: That you don't know how you feel about him and that you're making a rash decision here.

[Laura sighs]

Laura: I know. You're right. I'm hopeless.
Ryan: No. You're not hopeless. I just don't think you should be making this decision because of Leo, that's all, all right?
Laura: All right.

Mr. Miller: Excuse me, but I was admiring you from across the room, and my friend said that you were taken. I hope he was mistaken.
Gillian: Oh, my friend was absolutely right. I'm engaged to be married.
Mr. Miller: And who is the lucky man?
Gillian: Ryan Lavery.

Derek: Tad. When did you get back in town?
Tad: This morning. Why?
Derek: Well, I have to talk to you when you have the time.
Tad: Oh, well, now is fine. Why don't you go pick up Junior and -- JR. Just do me a favor, all right? Tell the boys I can't wait to see them.
Dixie: Yeah, I will. Ok, bye. Bye.

Tad: Why don't we go find a place to talk, ok?
David: Why don't you use my office.
Tad: Well, I wouldn't want to put you out.
David: No, I'm sure you wouldn't. It's all right. I've got things to do.
Derek: Let's go do that.

Tad: David. You know, you can do a lot of things to people. You can poison them, drop them off the side of buildings, kidnap them. But there's one thing you can't do -- change the way they feel about one another. I know you saw that just now. Dixie loves me, and there's not a thing you can do about that -- guaranteed.

Greenlee: Ugh! Uh! Uh!
Greenlee: Ugh! Aah! Uh! Ugh!
Jake: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! What the hell are you doing?
Greenlee: I hate Leo du Pres! I hate --
Jake: Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa -- hey, hey, hey, hey! Don't take it out on my glasses, all right?
Greenlee: Let me go!
Jake: I'm not going to let you go because I don't want you doing this anymore, all right?
Greenlee: What do you care about stupid broken glass?
Jake: Because it's my stupid broken glass, all right? You don't live here anymore. You live upstairs, remember? Man, I'm -- give me that! I knew I should have changed these locks.
Greenlee: Jake, I'm sorry. I forgot. I'll pay for the damage.
Jake: But, no, Greenlee. I don't want your money, all right?
Greenlee: Then you and Leo can both go to hell!

[Jake sighs]

Jake: Greenlee? Listen, ok. Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait! Just calm down, calm down. You can stay here until you can calm down a little, all right?
Greenlee: What are you talking about? I'm perfectly calm!
Jake: No, come on. Greenlee.
Greenlee: I try, Jake. I try so hard to make people love me, but they always end up hating me.
Jake: Oh, I know. It's ok.

Leo: I'm sorry about the delay. Why don't we go back to the table? Shall we?
Mr. Miller: Wait, whoa, whoa. What's the rush? What, did you think I was going to steal your fiancée?

[Leo laughs]

Laura: I don't know if I'll ever get my head together.
Ryan: It's not your head. It's your heart.
Laura: Yeah? Well, tough.
Ryan: I told you how much drama Gillian and I had before we finally got it right. I told you about all that.
Laura: Yeah, but you guys were meant to be together.
Ryan: True. True, but we almost lo each other.
Laura: Yeah, but you didn't. And now you're getting married. You have that whole "happily ever after" thing going for you.
Ryan: It's going to happen for you, too, I promise. You just got to wait till the time is right, all right?

Leo: I -- I just don't like to mix my personal life with business, that's all.
Mr. Miller: If I was engaged to this vision, I would never leave its side.
Leo: Well, let's just go back to the table.
Mr. Miller: Let it wait. Mr. Lavery, why didn't you tell me this exotic creature was your fiancée?
Gillian: What the hell's going on? You're --
Leo: Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm. Mmm-mmm-mmm.

David: Dixie? Didn't you hear me calling you? Look, I don't want you going anywhere by yourself. It's too risky. Well, you're shaking. What's the matter?
Dixie: I found something in the car.
David: What? What did you find?

Tad: Sounds like an emergency.
Derek: Yeah. Adam's causing a mini riot in this jail cell. Look, I'll have to catch up with you later. Tad, where can I find you?
Tad: Just at my mom and dad's house -- or, you know, if I'm lucky, you might even try my house.
Derek: Yeah. I'll keep a good thought for you and Dixie, huh?
Tad: I appreciate that. I'll talk to you later, Derek.
Derek: Yeah.

Tad: You're back already? What happened?
Dixie: Your car.
Tad: Well, if it's not working, I'll try to fix it.
Dixie: No, I don't think you can fix this, Tad. It's -- I got into your car. I dropped my purse down in front of the front seat, and I reached down to pick it up, and -- there was -- something under the seat.
Tad: What is it? Dixie: Leslie Coulson's hospital bracelet.


ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN

[Greenlee screams]

Greenlee: It's an earthquake!
Jake: Ugh! Whoa! Whoa, whoa!

Ryan: You want to tell me why that man thinks that you're me?

David: What's going on? What's happened, Dixie?
