Hayley: You scared me to death.
Mateo: I'm sorry.
Hayley: Wrong night to be sneaking up on people, Mateo. What are you doing here?
Mateo: I saw you leaving Trevor's, and I --
Hayley: You're watching the house?
Mateo: I stopped by earlier to talk to you, and you weren't there, so when I came back, you were driving away.
Hayley: So you watched me and then you followed me? Nice stalker costume, Mateo.
Mateo: I have a lot to say to you, you know.
Hayley: Please. Can't we -- can't we do this some other time?
Mateo: You want to be alone?
Hayley: Yeah, I do.
Mateo: Yeah, you taking inventory?
Hayley: As a matter of fact, yeah.
Mateo: Yeah, well, I've been taking some inventory, too, and you need to hear this unless you're waiting for somebody else.

Waiter: Hey, can I get you something?
Ryan: No, I'm just waiting for somebody. Thanks.
Waiter: How about a drink while you're waiting?
Ryan: Yeah, sure. I'll get a club soda.
Waiter: You got it.
Ryan: Thanks.

Scott: Hey, there's Ryan. Let's go say hi.
Greenlee: Hey, Ryan.
Ryan: Hey, guys.
Scott: Hey, what's going on?
Ryan: Just waiting for Hayley.
Greenlee: Why aren't you in costume?
Ryan: I learned the hard way that Halloween isn't my night to party.
Greenlee: You guys are so not in the spirit. Scott showed up at my door not in costume. Where are we going? Costume party, thank you. I had that mask in the back of my closet. He's lucky I didn't take a leaf from the yard and make him go as Adam. Of course, that would have made me Eve. Oh, well, there's always next year.
Scott: Lucky me
Greenlee: Oh, come on, you look adorable. Do you want to tag along? Come on, come to the party. Costumes, lights, punch, the works.
Ryan: Yeah. Sounds like more fun than I can handle.
Greenlee: What is it with you men and Halloween? How can you not love such a great excuse to party? It's the kind of night when anything can happen.

Junior: Amanda, what's wrong?
Jamie: Yeah, why'd you scream?
Amanda: I saw a witch, a real witch.
Junior: Get out of here.
Amanda: No, I swear.
Jamie: Where was she?
Amanda: Right over there.

Jake: So, what has Adam done now?
Liza: Remember when I told you that I thought that David Hayward was up to something and Alex told me David Hayward's name was on the paperwork that authorized Colby's cells being transferred to Seaview hospital?
Jake: I can't wait to hear how Adam is involved in this. Did you talk to Hayward?
Liza: Hmm, no. I've learned few things from Adam. I went in the back door. I talked to Monty, the lab technician.
Jake: Right, and what did he say?
Liza: Adam switched the samples, falsified the records, put David Hayward's name on the paperwork to cover his tracks.
Jake: So, the cells that Dimitri received --
Liza: Weren't Colby's.
Jake: Are you sure?
Liza: Monty showed me the vial, Jake, it was completely full.
Jake: Oh, man, I -- after all the ridiculous arguments Adam had with us at the hospital about when we wanted to donate the cells, and now this?
Liza: He didn't like our answer. So he took over.
Jake: Adam is way out of control, Liza.
Liza: The minute that he comes in that door, I'm going to kill him.

Gillian: Say that again?
David: Jake is not Colby's biological father. Adam is.
Gillian: How can that be?
David: Oh, it's really quite simple, actually. You see, moneybags here bought the clinic that Liza was being inseminated in. And when no one was looking, he pulled what is called a classic switcheroo. He switched his sperm with Jake's. So, Adam is a daddy.
Gillian: No, that can't be.
David: Oh, but it is. It is. You know, the ugly part of this is this -- that Jake and Liza have no idea that Colby is Adam's child. So imagine what they're going to do when they find out.
Adam: You're insane, Hayward. He's always hated Jake. This is a pathetic attempt to hurt him.
David: Oh, and why would I waste my energy on Jake when there's so much more satisfying prey to be had?
Adam: You always get such a charge out of destroying other people. It's an abomination.
David: I like to think of it as a moment of truth, Adam.
Adam: Don't believe him, Gillian.
He's lying. Gillian: No, he's not. I can see it in your face. In your eyes. You're Colby's father. Oh, my god, poor Jake. What have you done?
Adam: You can't believe Hayward. He's a psychopath.
David: Good call, Gillian. You're absolutely right. Adam is guilty. Just look at him sweat.
Adam: You of all people should know what he's capable of, how easily he lies, how sincere he is when he's doing the most damage. He hurt you. I helped you.
Gillian: When your brother, Stuart, and his wife called me to say that they found the money that David gave us, for me and Ryan, when we were on the run, you paid me back double the money.
Adam: Yes, that's right.
Gillian: Because you said you wanted to use that to punish him.
Adam: Well, he deserved it.
Gillian: Yeah, but you didn't. You didn't. You held it over his head because he knew your secret. So you lied to me.
David: Imagine that.
Gillian: And you -- you've known all along that Adam was Colby's father.
David: I guess you really are more than just a pretty face, Gillian.
Gillian: Do you have any idea what this is going to do to Jake?
David: Oh, that's just the beginning. Let's not forget Adam's devoted wife. What do you think Liza's going to do when she finds out that Adam's been switching his sperm with Jake's?
Gillian: I have to warn him. I have to warn him.
Adam: Gillian --

David: You know, that was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. So who should we tell next?
Adam: You scum. You are scum.
David: I can see it now, Adam -- Gillian's going to tell Jake, Jake is going to run to tell Liza, and Liza -- whoo. I guess you're going to finally get what you deserve, Adam. Looks like there really is a God after all, and it's not you.
Adam: You're pathetic. And you're wrong.

David: Oh, I don't think so. Adam: You don't know Liza, and you don't know what we have together. The love we have can get through anything.
David: Oh, please. You are living on Fantasy Island.
Adam: She will understand, and she will forgive me. That's what love is really about, Hayward.
David: You don't have a clue as to what real love is about, Adam. You are so delusional.
Adam: We'll see. Because my marriage will survive and my family will survive. You can't destroy us.
David: Really? Are you a betting man, Adam?

Jake: Adam decides to cart Junior off to boarding school. Now he's interfering with Colby. You know, this is never going to stop.
Liza: No, it is. It's going to stop tonight because Adam's going to know that Colby is not going to be placed in the middle of all his games.
Jake: You've talked to him before. It's never worked.
Liza: Well, what do you have in mind?
Jake: Arrest him. He committed a crime. I'm taking this to the hospital board.
Liza: You would press charges?
Jake: Why not? He committed a felony. I think he committed several of them. I'm -- he should be arrested.
Liza: Jake, where are your priorities? Do you want to protect your daughter, or do you want to go after Adam? I mean, I could do everything in my power to make sure that she's safe, but I'm not going to become some sort of emotional vigilante.
Jake: So you're going to defend him?
Liza: No, I'm not defending him. What he did was twisted and stupid. But arrest him? It's not an answer.
Jake: He's conning you. Just like he cons everyone else.
Liza: I know that he's wrong. And it doesn't mean that I'm any less angry. But I love him.
Jake: It's too much. He committed a crime. No, no, no, no. He committed a crime. He could hurt people or worse.
Liza: Jake, he is my husband. Let me handle it.
Jake: I don't want to.
Liza: Oh, well, thank you very much for your support.
Jake: I can't feel that Colby's safe living under the same roof as him.
Liza: Don't even start with this restraining order business.
Jake: Oh, you can't just call time out with Adam anymore. It doesn't work.
Liza: He loves Colby as if she was his own.
Jake: She is not his daughter. She will never be his daughter.
Liza: Jake, you're a wonderful father. And she is lucky to have two loving, wonderful fathers in her life. But you have to let me handle this. I will let Adam know exactly where he stands with Colby.
Jake: How? What can you tell him that that's any different than anything you've told him before?
Liza: Adam would call it leverage. He will lose everything -- everything -- if he behaves like this anymore.
Jake: All right, so if he behaves like this ever again, you're going to leave him?

Greenlee: Scott didn't like Halloween at UCLA either.
Ryan: Marilyn lives.
Scott: I see why gentlemen prefer blondes.
Greenlee: I thought she'd show up as Queen Elizabeth. You know, the virgin queen. Come on, let's get going. The party should be happening by now.
Katy: Remember us? Katy with a y.
Molly: Remember me? I was the dream in pouffy blue satin.
Ryan: How can we forget?
Katy: Hey, great costumes.
Scott: Not nearly as cool as yours.
Becca: Come on, supermodels. It's time to get some hot chocolate.
Katy: Yeah, that sounds great.

Greenlee: Very smart choice -- going against type with the blond bombshell number. Who would ever guess the truth?

Ryan: Looks like you have a mob scene on your hands.
Becca: Yeah, we have a few more houses to go to, but it's definitely time for a break.
Greenlee: Oh. My pager. It vibrates. Three speeds. But -- it's our hostess, so I'd better call her back.
Scott: He going to show us your loot?
Becca: I've been eating it as I collect.
Waiter: So, what'll it be for the half pints?
Becca: We're going to get some hot chocolate with extra marshmallows.
Waiter: Seven hot chocolates.
Becca: No, no. 10.
Waiter: I'm counting six small squirmy people, and you make seven.
Becca: What? Oh, no. Oh, my gosh.
Scott: What's wrong?
Becca: They're missing.
Ryan: Who? Becca: Amanda, Junior, and Jamie. They're gone.

Junior: Hey. Is anyone there? See? There's no one out there.
Jamie: Well, maybe a witch wouldn't answer.
Amanda: No, I saw her, and she was scary. I wouldn't make something like that up.
Jamie: You think the witch is the one who left the bottle caps for you to follow the night you ran away?
Junior: Come on.
Jamie: Well, if she did, she saved you.
Amanda: Witches don't save people.
Jamie: Let's get out of here.
Junior: Don't listen to her. There's no such thing as witches.

[Scream]

Hayley: We can discuss whatever you want to discuss, but I'm not getting into discussion about Ryan with you.
Mateo: I guess I don't have a right to know how you feel about the guy you dumped me for, right?
Hayley: You know why I moved out.
Mateo: Oh, yeah, I know why you moved out. You told me it's because you were worried about your sobriety.
Hayley: That's right.
Mateo: Yeah, you needed to take care of yourself.
Hayley: That's right.
Mateo: That's not what happened. I gave you the space you needed. Ryan moves in.
Hayley: That's not true.
Mateo: It is true. The moment something goes wrong with you, he's all over you, you're not saying no.
Hayley: He's my friend, Mateo.
Mateo: Please. I'm sorry, but that's not going to wash with me anymore.
Hayley: Well I'm sorry, but it's the truth.
Mateo: I don't know, maybe we should talk about the truth. The truth is you wanted Raquel gone. And she's gone. I'm selling the place that I bought for my son so I could be close to him so I can buy you out because that's what you want -- because you need space. That's the truth. And what do I get? Why do you want to be with him? I -- I don't -- I don't get it. I mean, just because you guys bond in some way, because you were raised by drunks? I mean, do you feel sorry for him?
Hayley: Do you think I'm stupid or desperate? I'm not that easily duped. I don't feel sorry for him.
Mateo: Can you tell me what you feel then? Do you love him?

Scott: Here. Listen, listen, maybe they decided to hang out at one of the houses you visited.
Becca: I can't believe I lost three kids. I lost the three loudest kids.
Scott: Why don't you try calling their parents? Look, maybe they got tired and decided they wanted to go home.
Becca: We've got to find them. Where could they be?
Ryan: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I think our pal here is going to be able to help us out a little bit.
Petey: I took a sacred oath not to tell.
Becca: Petey, but we want to help them.
Scott: Their parents will be very worried.
Becca: Ok. Petey, think about it this way -- now, if your mama lost you on Halloween night, don't you think she'd be really, really, really upset?
Petey: Yeah.
Becca: Well, can you please tell us?
Petey: In the woods.
Becca: What? They're in -- why?
Petey: Know when Junior ran away?
Becca: Yeah.
Petey: There was this guy. He left a path of bottle caps. Junior followed them, and he was rescued.
Scott: What does that have to do with tonight?
Petey: Jamie and Amanda went with Junior to find the bottle cap guy.
Scott: Alone?
Becca: Well, we've got to go find them. We've got to go get them.
Scott: Ok. Listen, let's take the kids back to Tad's place. And then I'll come with you to find the three musketeers. They couldn't have gotten far, yeah?
Becca: Ok, ok.
Ryan: How can I help?
Scott: Yeah. Give these to Greenlee. I'll try to catch up to her, ok?
Ryan: I'll give them to her.
Scott: Let's go, kids.
Boy: What happened?
Becca: Thanks, Ryan.

Greenlee: Where did everybody go?
Ryan: Looks like your phantom disappeared.
Greenlee: I don't believe this. First, my Gran's party, and now this. Did he say where he was going?
Ryan: No. He just took off with Becca.

Mateo: I found you guys together, you know. You looked me in the eye and you told me that you care about the guy -- a lot -- and it's more than just friendship.
Hayley: Mateo, I am not getting into this with you.
Mateo: Well, the way I see it, you already got into it, you know, because you're sleeping with the guy. Do you have any idea how I feel? I mean, do you --
Hayley: You know what? Thanks to you, I know exactly how you feel -- like you've been kicked in the gut. You know, I owe you an apology.
Mateo: Yeah? For what?
Hayley: For giving you mixed signals, you know. I do want time to take care of myself. And I do care about Ryan. But I care about you so much. I haven't been fair to anybody involved.
Mateo: No, you haven't. You know, the thing that gets me is that I told you what Ryan was about and you made me the bad guy. I was wrong. I told you he was after you. He played every angle. I mean, he pretended to be my friend. I asked him to look out for you. You know, I don't know. Now he's got you believing that you need him somehow, and the guy is just -- you don't even know what you think anymore. I mean, you don't even know what you want.
Hayley: You know what, Mateo? You're the one that doesn't know what I want. And I suppose you never have.
Mateo: I agree with you. You're right. Because you know what? If I did have clue, I wouldn't be here. We wouldn't be here.
Hayley: I've had enough of this. I'm going home. Do me a favor and please don't follow me.

[Screams]

Hayley: What's the matter?
Amanda: There's a witch chasing us, Hayley.
Hayley: What?

Jake: Daddy's going to take you home. All right?
Liza: Thanks for taking her.
Jake: Yeah. Listen, do you need me to stay here if he comes back?
Liza: I don't need any more fuel on the fire. It's my problem.
Jake: All right. Speak of the devil.
Adam: Liza. You're here.
Liza: Where else would I be?
Adam: What's going on?
Jake: I'm out of here.
Adam: He's taking Colby?
Liza: She's going to stay with Jake tonight.
Adam: Why?
Jake: Are you sure you can handle this?
Liza: Yeah. Just go.
Adam: What did Jake mean by that? Are you going handle what?
Liza: The usual -- you.
Adam: What nonsense has he been spouting about me now? He has it in for me. You know that. He'll say anything.
Liza: Stop. I know.
Adam: What do you know?
Liza: The truth, Adam. I know the truth.
Adam: The truth? Liza: How could you?
Adam: Liza --
Liza: No, don't. What you did, it just makes my stomach turn.
Adam: Oh, please, don't say that.
Liza: Oh, no, I believed you. I believed you when you told me that you would tell me the truth, that you would never hold anything back from me.
Adam: I have.
Liza: No, you haven't. It's just a lie. Everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.
Adam: I love you. And there's no greater truth than that.
Liza: Oh, don't.
Adam: You have to believe me.
Liza: No, I don't have to believe you. I don't.
Adam: Liza, everything I've done, I did out of love for you --
Liza: Don't rationalize everything like it's underneath this great umbrella of love. You broke into a lab, Adam. You switched samples.
Adam: I can explain that.
Liza: Please, do. But will it be the truth?
Adam: Yes, I promise.
Liza: What were you thinking? Why did you think you could get away with something like this?
Adam: Liza, I --
Liza: I know what you did and I can prove it. Don't deny it, or I am walking out of your life.

Ryan: Scott left you the keys.
Greenlee: Problem -- I don't do parties solo. It looks like Hayley's a no-show. Why don't you come with me?
Gillian: Have you seen Jake? Ryan: What? No. No. Why? What's wrong?
Gillian: He was supposed to come here after he took Colby home. And he should have been here by now. I have to find him.
Ryan: What? Gillian, Gillian, Gillian, what's going on? Tell me what's--
Gillian: No, I have to go now.
Ryan: Just calm down and tell me what's going on.
Gillian: I can't.

Greenlee: This is a bust. Solo it is.

Mateo: You guys were in the woods by yourselves?
Hayley: What were you doing, exactly?
Junior: Looking for bottle caps.
Amanda: And I saw a witch.
Jamie: Yeah, and then she chased us and we just took off.
Hayley: A witch, huh? You know, I saw a few of those myself, not to mention the ghosts and goblins. You know, this is Halloween, you guys.
Amanda: No, this is real, Hayley. She had a big long nose with a wart on the end of it and a long, pointy chin. And she also had --
Hayley: Let me guess. A black cape.
Amanda: You saw her, too?
Hayley: I saw lots of her. I mean, I think it just looked real, you guys, because you were in the dark, scary, spooky woods, you know?
Amanda: No, this was real.
Hayley: Where do your parents think you are right now? Do they know what you're up to?
Junior: Not really. We snuck out of the house.
Jamie: When Becca wasn't looking.
Hayley: Well, that's just swell. Can I paint you a picture? They are bouncing off the wall -- bouncing off. And you -- you, Houdini -- you should especially be ashamed of yourself after your last disappearing act.
Junior: I thought we could make it back before we were missed so we wouldn't worry anybody.
Hayley: Let me tell you exactly what happened. Y'all thought wrong. Let's go. We're leaving. Pronto.
Mateo: You want me to go with you?
Hayley: No, I don't.
Amanda: You don't?
Hayley: No. Come on.

[Noise in the woods]

Mateo: Hello?

Ryan: Gillian, just tell me what's going on here.
Gillian: You had no right to get into the car with me.
Ryan: Well, I wasn't going to let you run off by yourself, not when you're all worked up like this.
Gillian: I can't believe this is happening. I have to get to Jake.
Ryan: Why? Why? Did he do something to you? Just tell me. I'll take care of it for you.
Gillian: No! No! Something's been done to him, and it's so cruel.

[Car accelerates]

Ryan: Gillian, slow down. This is insane! Just tell me what's going on, please.
Gillian: I can't! I can't tell anybody!
Ryan: Whatever it is, it can't be worth you risking your life like this.
Gillian: You don't understand! His whole world is going to be shattered, and I have to get to him! I have to be there for him!

[Car accelerates]

David: Listen, can you do me a favor? Can you check on my takeout order? It was Shepherd's Pie to go.
Waiter: Sure thing, doc.
David: Hey, Jake.
Jake: David.
David: Out trick-or-treating in the daddy costume? Very authentic, right down to the little baby.
Jake: Shouldn't you get a move on, Dave? This your night to perpetrate evil and torment souls?
David: And why should tonight be any different? You waiting for someone?
Jake: Gillian. Right?
David: Here?
Jake: Yeah. Why not here?
David: No reason. So how old is she now?
Jake: She is six of the best months of my life. Right? I'm six of the best months of your life, too, huh? Huh?

[Colby coos]

Jake: Oh, I know. Are you tired?
Waiter: Doc? Your order's ready.
David: All right. Great. Thanks. Well, I'd love to stay, but -- have a great evening, Daddy.
Adam: I don't deny what I did. I wanted to tell you.
Liza: And what stopped you?
Adam: You.
Liza: Me?
Adam: Yes. How many times have you told me how proud you are of the man I've become? I couldn't risk losing you.
Liza: So it was my fault that you couldn't be honest?
Adam: No. You're twisting my words.
Liza: Well, I learned it from you. You know, I tell you, you had me. You had me believing that you'd become this new man.
Adam: I have.
Liza: No, you haven't. You just lie about lying now.
Adam: Liza, I did it for us.
Liza: "For us." Dear, God, Adam. For once in your life, be honest. You did it for you. You did it for you. You didn't like what I was doing, so you took over and you did it for you. You lied. You manipulated me. You lied. And for what?
Adam: Because I love you. That's why.
Liza: That is sounding really old.
Adam: Liza, you are my life. Tell me you forgive me.
Liza: I can't. I don't. I won't.
Adam: Yes, you can. You can tell me. I never intended to jeopardize what we have.
Liza: What were you thinking?
Adam: That you are everything to me. And the thought of you having a child with another man, of sharing that miracle with somebody else, being tied to him, I couldn't stand it. Don't you see? I thought I had no choice

Becca: It's a good thing we went by Tad and Dixie's or we'd be looking for these little rascals all night.
Scott: Yeah, but it was just dumb luck that Hayley was dropping them off when we were there, huh? Did Amanda say where she left her costume?
Becca: The boathouse.
Scott: The boathouse.
Becca: Mm-hmm.
Scott: Let's look.
Becca: I feel so bad. I can't believe I lost Tad and Dixie's kids, and Amanda, too.
Scott: I think they lost you.
Becca: There goes my career as a professional babysitter.
Scott: Is that a long-term goal of yours? Becca, can we talk for a minute?
Becca: There's not really much to say.
Scott: I'm sure I could think of a lot of things to say. Becca -- Becca, I miss you.
Becca: Scott, might have been a time where we could hang out. It might be in the future. But as for now, it just -- it hurts too much.
Scott: I'm sorry.
Becca: Well, I don't think her costume's here.
Scott: Let's check outside.

[Mateo daydreams….]

Mateo: Hey. What's wrong?
Hayley: Something terrible happened to Ryan. He's gone.
Mateo: It's ok. It's ok. I'm here. I'm here, Hayley. I'm here.

[Owl hoots]

Mateo: I'm here, Hayley.

Hayley: Hi.
Jake: Hey.
Hayley: Well, if it isn't the sunniest sunflower in the world. Are you having a good time, Miss Colby? Did daddy take you trick-or-treating?
Jake: Well, I painted a pumpkin for her. We'll hit the pavement in a couple of years.
Hayley: That sounds good. What are you doing here?
Jake: Just waiting for Gillian.
Hayley: Humm, that's funny. I'm waiting for Ryan.
Jake: Well, while we're waiting, why don't you sit down. I'm working on one of these spice cider brown things. They're really good with the cinnamon sticks. Why don't you have one?
Hayley: Yeah, that sounds good.
Jake: Join us, join us. Join us.
Hayley: Got to check my messages first, if you don't mind.
Jake: Ok. Hey, can I have another one of these for her?
Waiter: Absolutely. Sure.
Jake: All right.
Hayley: Ryan's on his way. And he's late. Jake: I though I was late. Gillian's even later.

Ryan: Gillian, just please, pull the car over and let me drive. Stop the car, Gillian!
Gillian: No! No! I have to get to Jake before --
Ryan: Gillian, look out!

[Gillian screams]

[Tires screech]

Liza: Everybody has choices, Adam. You made the wrong one.
Adam: Isn't there a part of you, some small part of you, that's glad about this?
Liza: I'm disgusted. How could you do something like this?
Adam: I did it for us. Don't you see? I've wanted to tell you, Liza. I'm sorry you found out like this.
Liza: Sorry? No, you're sorry that I found out. You're not sorry that you did it.
Adam: No, I'll never be sorry that I did it.
Liza: How can you say that?
Adam: I regret that it happened the way that it happened. I'll never regret that fact that it happened. When I look in Colby's eyes --
Liza: You had no right.
Adam: I had every right.
Liza: You had no right. You had no right to play with people's lives. Adam, you do whatever it is that you want to do. You haven't changed. You don't care who it hurts. You don't care who it destroys.
Adam: Who it destroys? What about what I've created for us?
Liza: Grief? Chaos?
Adam: Colby! A perfect daughter.
Liza: What are you saying?
Adam I'm saying she's ours, Liza. Yours and mine. You said that's what you wanted to happen. You wished for it. Well, it's here. Colby is our daughter.
