ALL MY CHILDREN

NOVEMBER 10, 1999



Joe: Pressure is higher than I'd like. Temperature's up.
Ryan: Is that doctor-speak for "I overdid it"?
Joe: It is.
Ryan: I can't be so close to Gillian and not go see her, Doc.
Joe: Well, I understand. But if I were to tell you her prognosis gets better by the hour, would you then hold still?
Ryan: Maybe.
Joe: Ryan, you can't take your injuries lightly. If you do, you're still going to be here when Gillian goes home. Now, try and get some sleep.
Ryan: Ok. Any medical objections to me watching a horror flick?
Joe: Well, that'd keep most people up, but be my guest. Good night.
Ryan: Good night, Doc.

[Turns TV on]

Joe: Are you up for a visitor? There's someone out here who would very much like to see you.

[Turns TV off]

Ryan: Well, it sure beats watching another rerun of "The Wasp Woman."
Greenlee: I won't sting, I promise. You were expecting the other cute blonde in your life, weren't you?

Hayley: Oh, yes. Lord Smokey, I pre-- oh, fine. You don't like it? Fine. I'll save it for myself. No accounting for taste.
Janet: Here's my stash.
Hayley: Oh, great. I can't wait to rifle through it. Oh, these are great. Oh, my gosh. They're so much better than what I had planned. Oh, and these -- you guys, tons and tons of beaded bracelets. You cannot have too many. And estate jewelry or new jewelry that looks old or old jewelry that's really funky -- it's all fabulous.
Amanda: And look at Smokey.
Janet: Well, that ought to get him some dates. You ready to go through my stuff and tell me what works?
Hayley: Yes, please. Please.
Amanda: Ooh, show her that pretty pendant that you never wear.
Hayley: Oh, is it turquoise?
Janet: It's just costume.
Amanda: But it's retro and totally in. Come on.
Hayley: Come on.
Janet: Ok, ok.
Hayley: Pick out one of these for you. This one's great, too.
Janet: Like I said, it's just costume.
Hayley: Oh, my gosh. It's wonderful. Is this hand-made? There can't be too many of these around.
Amanda: Put it on, Mom.
Janet: Uh --
Hayley: It's really fabulous. Here. Where'd you get it?
Janet: Oh, it's been so long, I forget.
Hayley: Uh-huh. An old flame, huh?

[Doorbell rings]

Janet: I'll get it.
Trevor: Hi, honey, I forgot my keys.
Janet: Hey.
Trevor: Sorry.
Amanda: Daddy.
Trevor: Hey. Smokey's part of this bauble fest. Nice, beautiful. Where'd you get this, honey?
Janet: Oh look --
Amanda: Hayley's helping us accessorize.
Janet: See? Look what I've got on.
Trevor: They match.
Janet: Right. Amanda, let's put that away. We've got things to do. Ok.

Trevor: Tink, you got a minute?
Hayley: It's not about accessorizing, is it?
Trevor: No. I talked to the EMT's That took Ryan and Gillian to the hospital. You got to hear this.

Adrian: Nothing like a little espionage to work up the appetite.
Dixie: You said it. I'm starving.
Tad: I'm not surprised. You were the star of the show.
Adrian: Yeah, Dix. I had no idea that you could turn on the waterworks like that.
Waitress: You ordering today?
Tad: Uh -- yeah. How about three cheeseburgers and the works with onion rings, please.
Waitress: Rings are extra.
Tad: That's no problem. I'm treating, anyway.
Dixie: Honey, you're unemployed. I mean, we had to panhandle to fill the parking meter.
Waitress: Better not bolt.
Tad: Oh, she's just kidding. Actually, we're too old to run.
Adrian: That's why we never leave home without this.
Waitress: Better be good. I always get the jokers.
Tad: I think she loves her job. Look, all kidding aside, thank you -- both of you. I'd say that we can officially consider Adam busted.
Adrian: The FCC. License is all we need to prove that he has total control of the station, WRCW, and that he brokered the deal behind Liza's back.
Tad: And if she's smart, she'll leave him.
Dixie: Well, all this gloating is all very well and good, but I think we should put this away before we get ketchup all over it.
Tad: Oh, not a chance, sweetheart. I got plans for this little baby.

[Adam watches the goings-on in his front room]

Jake: So, what's going on?
Adam: Go on, Liza, just -- just go on. Tell him straight out. I'm Colby's father.
Liza: I just want you to know how much I appreciate you and the man that you are, the father you've become. I really appreciate it that -- everything that you are to Colby -- it's a rare gift, and I'm grateful that you're in her life.
Jake: Liza, what is it?
Marian: Oh. Hello, Jake. Did you come by to say good night to Colby?
Jake: Actually, Liza called me.
Liza: Yeah. We were having a private conversation, mother. Would you go check on her?
Marian: Oh, I just did, darling. She's fast asleep.
Liza: Mother.
Marian: Oh, well, of course I can take a hint. Good night, Jake.
Jake: Good night, Marian.
Marian: Liza -- oh.
Liza: Mother.
Adam: Oh.

Tad: Ok, folks. Raise your burgers for a toast.
Adrian: All righty.
Tad: Here is to roasting the big weenie, Adam Chandler.
Adrian and Dixie: Hear, hear.
Tad: Cheers.
Adrian: Now what?
Tad: Good. I'm still thinking. You got any ideas?
Dixie: Well, I don't know. Where -- where does Liza stand right now? Is she with us?
Tad: She's got to be. I mean, after all, WRCW is her baby. Adam can't tamper with that and not expect some kind of payback.
Dixie: Mm-hmm. Ok. So here's what we do. We show her the FCC. License with Adam's name on it. She's his wife, right?
Tad: Mm-hmm.
Dixie: She can just coerce him into giving her the station back, and then she turns over "The Butting Edge" to you. You know? It's easy.
Tad: It's a nice idea, sweetie, but I'm not sure that I want easy. I mean, this isn't just about, you know, losing my job or the show or even, you know, Liza losing the station. It's about Adam steam rolling people and constantly getting away with it. You know, in the old days, they had the right idea. They would hang some kind of plaque around his neck, throw tomatoes, and spit on him.
Dixie: Thank you. Tad, jeez.
Tad: You're right. No spitting. So, anyone else?
Adrian: We have irrefutable evidence that Adam has taken total control of the station, all very legally. You know, lying to his wife and destroying a man's livelihood -- very hateful, but I don't think we can get him arrested.
Tad: Exactly. That's why I vote for public humiliation.
Adrian: Hold up, bro. Wait a minute. If we go that route, we'll definitely lose Liza. Besides, she may want to string him up a little privately. But there's no way she's going to go for public humiliation.
Dixie: I don't know.
Adrian: He's still her husband.
Dixie: We don't know how Liza feels until we talk to her. I mean, and we have to talk to her without Adam.
Tad: Woman's got a point.
Winifred? Hi, this is Tad Martin. Is Mrs. Chandler there? She is. Good. What about Mr. Chandler? When's he expected? Really? No, no. Thank you. Thanks.
Well, Liza's there but Adam's nowhere in sight, so I'd say it's time for phase two.

Adam: Come on. Liza, wake up. That wasn't a real faint. Don't let Marian stop you. Just tell him. Just tell Jake that I'm Colby's father. Tell him the truth.

Marian: Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, Jake, what happened?
Jake: I think you fainted, Marian. How do you feel? You feel dizzy? You feel any pain?
Liza: Not yet.
Marian: Uh -- oh, how silly of me. I just remembered I haven't had a thing to eat except for two little hearts of palm early this morning.
Jake: You probably have low blood sugar.
Marian: Oh, dear. Would you be so kind as to get me a glass of water, please?
Jake: Yeah, yeah. I'll -- I'll be right back.
Marian: Thank you, Jake.
Liza: A little obvious, Mother?
Marian: Drastic measures, darling.
Liza: Stay out of it.
Marian: Listen to me, Liza. If you let this out, you're going to lose control. Now, you need a plan for Colby. Liza: Do you understand that Adam could be out there right now telling everybody the truth? It is going to be devastating to him if he hears it from someone on the street or Adam.
Marian: Trust me, Liza. Adam has told no one.
Liza: And how do you know that?
Marian: What? And indict himself? Now, listen to me. Promise you won't tell a thing to Jake about this until your divorce is finalized. Please, Liza, can you do that for me?

Adam don't. Don't. Liza --

Greenlee: Too bad you didn't party with me. A hangover sure beats this.
Ryan: So, that's why you're here -- because you're concerned about me?
Greenlee: Since I started dating Scott, I feel like we've become friends.
Ryan: Oh.
Greenlee: I hope you feel the same way.
Ryan: So this is just a cozy little visit between friends?
Greenlee: Of course.
Ryan: Oh.
Greenlee: But I do have a teensy favor to ask.
Ryan: Really? No kidding. Lay it on me.
Greenlee: It's almost nothing, really. I'd like to borrow your key.
Ryan: My key?
Greenlee: Uh-huh.
Ryan: To the loft?
Greenlee: Uh-huh.
Ryan: Hmm.
Greenlee: Do you have it?
Ryan: Yeah. I think it's around here someplace. They managed to salvage it from the accident with my wallet.
Greenlee: Well, why don't you give it to me? I can make a copy and surprise Scott when he gets home.
Ryan: One person's surprise might be another person's ambush.
Greenlee: I doubt Scott would find a cold beer and a warm massage an ambush.
Ryan: Oh. You're very good.
Greenlee: So, you'll do it?
Ryan: Not a chance.
Greenlee: But --
Ryan: You want the key to the loft, you ask Scott, not me.
Greenlee: Don't be such a fuddy-duddy. I'll make an extra key for Hayley for helping me out.
Ryan: Ok, Greenlee, stop it right there.

Hayley: What did the EMT. Say to you?
Trevor: What did Mateo tell you?
Hayley: Not much. I told him that Ryan said about him leaving Ryan there at the accident, and Mateo told me he did what he did because he loved me.
Trevor: That's all?
Hayley: That, and then he told me to get out, which I took as a sign of guilt.
Trevor: Well, then something doesn't add up because the EMT's said that when they got there, Ryan, Gillian, and Mateo were there.
Hayley: What exactly did they see? Mateo walking away?
Trevor: No, he was standing there, and he filled them in on what was going on.
Hayley: And then the EMT's Pulled Ryan out of the car.
Trevor: Ryan was already on the ground.
Hayley: Ryan told me that he was trapped inside the car and that he begged Mateo for help and then Mateo turned his back and walked away.
Trevor: All I know is what the EMT's said to me. The car went kablooey. The victims were on the ground, out of harm's way.
Hayley: Do you think Ryan could have dragged himself out of the car?
Trevor: With a collapsed lung? No way.
Hayley: So, what are you saying? You think that Mateo rescued Ryan?
Trevor: We got two choices. Either it was that or Ryan's fairy godmother. What do you think?
Hayley: This doesn't make any sense. Why didn't Mateo say something to me?
Trevor: I don't got a clue. You guys are new math. I'm just adding it up.
Hayley: Yeah, well, it doesn't make any sense, and I intend to find out why.

Ryan: Yeah, you've got nerve, girl. And it's not necessarily a bad thing as long as you keep the body count low.
Greenlee: Now that we're on the same page --
Ryan: Hmm.
Greenlee: Will you talk me up to Hayley?
Ryan: To Hayley? Why?
Greenlee: Her style segment -- I want to work on it.
Ryan: Well, what about school?
Greenlee: Plenty of time to do both. Please, Ryan, I know style. I have it. Ask Scott. My working on this segment would be the perfect match.
Ryan: Sorry. Can't do it.
Greenlee: Don't tell me you don't have the pull I think you do. What? What is it? Hayley still too hung up on her ex?
Ryan: Scott still too hung up on Becca?
Greenlee: It was a crush. It'll pass.
Ryan: I'll tell you what. No key, no boost to Hayley, but I'll give you a little advice -- the guy you're going after is unavailable.
Greenlee: You're the expert since Hayley's obviously unavailable to you.

[Hayley walks into Ryan's hospital room]

Greenlee: How about that? We were just talking about you.
Ryan: And Greenlee was just about to leave.
Greenlee: I'm off to see Scott. Poor boy is working late. Ciao.
Hayley: Has anyone ever smacked that girl on the end of her nose with a rolled-up newspaper and said no firmly? Nice teddy.
Ryan: Thank you.
Hayley: I see pink in those cheeks. Would that be Green Tea's shameless flirting, or are you feeling better?
Ryan: No, I'm feeling better. I'm feeling better. Helped to see Gillian.
Hayley: Yeah? How's she doing?
Ryan: Dr. Martin says she's doing better.
Hayley: Oh, thank God.
Ryan: Still looks pretty fragile, though, you know? I would have loved to have talked to her, but she's still out of it.
Hayley: How about you? You remember any more about the accident?
Ryan: Hmm. No.
Hayley: Ok, well, I got some scoop there. Uncle Porkchop talked to the EMT's. And according to them, when they arrived at the scene, Mateo was there and you were out of the car.

Trevor: Ladies.
Janet: You want a peek at the sea monkeys?
Trevor: When did this turn up?
Janet: I found it this morning.
Trevor: Oh, yeah, a little scavenger hunt after breakfast?
Janet: No, actually someone folded it up and put it on the front porch.
Trevor: Must have psychic neighbors. There ain't no name tag in it.
Janet: No, but maybe someone saw Amanda wearing it --
Amanda: Mom, Dad --
Trevor: What?
Amanda: Smokey's gone.
Trevor: What?

Liza: I appreciate what you're trying to do --
Marian: Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, thank you so much, Jake.
Jake: There you go, Marian. Drink all of it, all right?
Marian: Ok.
Jake: But you do have something to tell me, don't you? Is it about Adam and Colby? What -- the stem cells? Hey.
Harriet: I thought you should know, Mrs. Chandler, Colby's come down with a fever again --
Liza: Oh.
Harriet: And a rash.

Adam: Damn, this is agony. I should be with her, not you.

Jake: Trying to give us a scare?
Liza: Does she have a fever?
Jake: A slight one. I can feel it.
Liza: Oh.
Marian: What about the rash? What do you think it is?
Jake: I -- I think it's our first case of Roseola. It's a virus.
Liza: Is it serious?
Jake: No, no. It's not pretty, but she'll be fine. Just part of being a baby, huh? You'll be all right. Kisses will help.
Marian: Kisses?
Jake: Mm-hmm.
Marian: We'll get lipstick on you.
Jake: That's right. Keep an eye on her.

Marian: Liza, Jake is a natural at something Adam could never be. Listen to me. You can't let Colby lose Jake as a father. It wouldn't be fair to either of them, darling.

Adam: Shut up, woman. Stop pouring your venom into Liza's ear.

Jake: I'll be up in a little bit. Ok. Watch that. So, ladies --
Liza: You know, mother, Colby loves it when you read to her.
Marian: Oh, yes, of course. Especially when the stories have happily-ever-after endings, right, Liza? All right, Jake, thank you so much. Good night.

Jake: Not going to get any quieter around here. Hey, come on. What's on your mind?

Adam: Come on. Tell him, tell him.

Liza: Well, it was about Colby and Adam.
Jake: Yeah? What? Did he admit to switching the stem cells, Dimitri's stem cells?
Liza: Yeah, he did. Adam admitted -- he confessed that he switched someone else's stem cells with Colby's.

Adam: No, no. No, that's not it. No, damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it! Damn! That's not it. She's not your child, Jake. She's mine. Mine! You hear me? Liza -- I swear on my life, I'm not going to let you get away with this.

Jake: What Adam did was illegal. Illegal. I'm pressing charges first thing tomorrow.
Liza: Oh, come on. Please, Jake. I'm as angry as you are, but for Colby's sake.
Jake: That's exactly what I'm talking about. For her sake. I mean -- this is just the beginning of him interfering in Colby's life. Really. We have to do something. What if -- what if we don't do anything and -- God only knows what he's going to do in the future.
Liza: Look, if the past is any indication, then I agree with you. I do. But arresting him is not the answer.
Jake: I want him in jail. I want him in jail.
Liza: If you are pressing charges, I promise you that I'm not going to support you.
Jake: I can't -- you -- you would let Colby grow up in a house with a man you don't trust?

[Doorbell rings]

Dixie: Hi.
Liza: Hi.
Tad: Liza.
Liza: Hi.
Adrian: How are you?
Liza: Come in.
Dixie: Thank you.
Tad: Well, look who's here. Hey, Jake.

Adam: I'm under siege in my own house.

Tad: Tuck in the princess?
Jake: Well, better yet, protect her from beast.
Adrian: Are we interrupting something
Jake: Do you remember when Liza and I agreed to donate Colby's stem cells for Dimitri?
Tad: Sure.
Jake: Well, it turns out we didn't. Adam, at the last minute, switched them with somebody else's.
Tad: So many lives to ruin. I wonder where he finds the time.
Jake: Will you please help me convince Liza to press charges?
Liza: Jake --
Jake: He was tampering. This is illegal.
Liza: Jake --
Tad: Little brother, I think you better take a number and stand in line because we have a little surprise.
Jake: I don't -- what is this?
Tad: It's an FCC. License with Adam's name on it. It proves he took control of WRCW away from his own wife.

Adam: Oh. Ooh. Ow.

Hayley: So you see why I'm confused. You remember being trapped in the car and Mateo walking away from you. The EMT's said that you were out of the car and Mateo was there. So if you can remember anything else, anything at all about how you got out of the car -- anything.
Ryan: Other than what I told you, I -- you know, it's blank. The EMT said Mateo was there?
Hayley: Yeah.
Ryan: Did you see him?
Hayley: Yeah.
Ryan: Well --
Hayley: I -- I told him that I knew he was at the crash site.
Ryan: Well, what did he say?
Hayley: He said that he loved me and that he saw you trapped in the car.
Ryan: He admitted that?
Hayley: I told him that you saw him walking away, and he didn't deny it. He just looked as if something horrible had just happened and he was trying to hide it. And it gave me chills. I'm sorry.
Ryan: You? Why?
Hayley: That he would be jealous enough to let you die like that. I feel very responsible for that. I feel like I keep ruining the lives of people I care about.
Ryan: Hey, hey. We don't have all the facts yet. My memory's still got so many holes in it. I shouldn't have said anything about the accident.
Hayley: But if he pulled you out of the car, why didn't he say something to me? And if he left you there, then who pulled you out of the car? I have to find out what happened.

Janet: I called all the neighbors I could think of. No one's seen Smokey.
Amanda: I should have never put those little butterflies in his fur.
Janet: Sweetheart, he didn't go because you decorated him.

[Telephone rings]

Janet: Hello. Hello? Is someone there? Hello?
Trevor: What was that?
Janet: Wrong number, I guess. The caller didn't say anything. So, why don't you and your dad go search for Smokey. I'll wait here in case the dog comes back or someone calls.
Trevor: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Janet: He probably got lost chasing a squirrel or something. Good luck.
Trevor: Yeah, we'll talk to the squirrels. Come on, honey.

[Telephone rings]

Janet: Hello? Who is this? What do you want? Why are you doing this? Hello?

[Dial tone]

Janet: It can't be.

Dixie: Is Colby all right?
Liza: She has a rash and a fever, but Mimi's reading to her and Jake just went to check and see how she was doing.
Tad: So, Liza, what do you think? Looks like we got our proof. Adam's name on that license says it all. We were right. Duffield is a front. Has been the entire time.
Liza: Yeah. Well, what are we waiting for?
Dixie: Well, that didn't take much convincing.
Liza: Well, I told Tad in his office that I wasn't going to put up with Adam treating people like this anymore. He has used too many people.
Adrian: Including yourself.
Tad: Now we've got him.
Liza: How's Colby?
Jake: Well, she's fine. Her fever dropped. She's sleeping right now.
Marian: Well, you all look so conspiratorial.
Tad: For a good reason. We're going to stick it to Adam.
Marian: How exciting. You can count me in. What's the plan?
Liza: Now, before we all get into war mode here, I just want to apologize for what Adam's done to everyone.
Dixie: Apologize? Honey, he tried to finesse you out of a TV station.
Liza: Yeah, by default. He was really after Tad. I mean, he felt threatened. He does what Adam did -- he tried to eliminate the competition.
Adrian: Yeah, but how could a guy hate another man for loving his kids?
Tad: Easy. He's a sociopath with too much money.
Liza: You know, that anger -- that anger that he feels is jeopardizing the entire family. I mean, it -- it really scares me.
Dixie: If you asked Adam, I swear he would tell you that it's out of the love that he has for Junior.
Liza: You know, I thought that he understood that love isn't about control.
Tad: Let's not be gullible. I mean, he may have changed the window dressing, but he's still Adam Chandler, which means he's going to try to control everything around him, including his children. Look at what Jake's going through with Colby, and she's not even his child.
Dixie: At least Colby still has Jake and you have an ally to help protect her against Adam.
Liza: You know, I know you tried to warn me, and I didn't listen. I mean, I trusted him, and we're all paying for it. It's -- it's hard to admit that the man that I love doesn't exist.
Dixie: Well, sweetie, you know, he did -- he did some horrible things. But at least you still have Colby and you have all us.
Liza: Thanks.

Adrian: You ok?
Marian: Oh, yes. Yes, thank you. Fine.
Adrian: Odd that Adam pulled a Hooding, isn't it?
Marian: Very.
Adrian: Any idea where he could be?
Marian: Oh, I have no idea of Adam's comings and goings at all.
Adrian: You're sure? You have no idea?
Marian: Mr. Sword, you doubt my word?
Adrian: No, not at all, Marian. You're always so gracious.
Marian: Look, he bought Liza's station right out from under her and swindled his own brother to do that. Now, that's how he treats people that he loves. I mean, somebody has to stop that man -- for good.

Adam: Go ahead, Marian. You be smug while you can, you self-righteous hypocrite.

Jake: I'm out of here.
Dixie: What, do you have a big night?
Jake: I got to go back to the hospital and check on Gillian.
Dixie: Oh, God. How is she?
Jake: That's what I need to find out. She was just waking up when I left.
Dixie: Well, will you give her our love?
Jake: I will, I will. Good night.
Dixie: Thank you.
Tad: Hey, Jake?
Jake: Yeah?
Tad: You got a minute?
Jake: Sure.
Tad: Listen. I know you're worried about Colby.
Jake: Well -- it's Adam. I'm going to press charges. I am. I don't care if Liza agrees --
Tad: Just a second, ok? Do me a favor. Just hold off for a little while, ok? I've waited a long time. Now, I got dibs on this one, all right? The man just took away my livelihood, my means to support my family. I got to stick it to him while I can, and Liza's a big part of that.
Jake: I'm not just going to let this go, though, Tad.
Tad: I'm not asking you to let it go, ok? All I'm saying is just -- just think of it as a one-two punch, ok? First I get mine, then you get yours. And Adam gets his right where he deserves it. And who knows? You know, maybe we get lucky. He'll leave both Colby and Junior alone.
Jake: Promises, promises.
Tad: Now, wait a minute. I got Liza on my side at this point. You don't. Correct?
Jake: Not yet.
Tad: Ok. That's what I'm talking about. Now, you try to press charges, get him arrested, she's going to defend him. Next thing you know, she's giving him a second chance.
Jake: So, what are you going to do?
Tad: Well, take a good look. She seems pretty upset to me, you know? We play this thing right, she gives him the boot.
Jake: All right. All right for now. And then I get my shot.
Tad: All right.
Jake: See you.

Ryan: I remember that I was going to meet you at BJ.'S. You had something you wanted to tell me, something important.
Hayley: I wanted to see you to make amends.
Ryan: What, you make fun of something I was wearing?
Hayley: The other night at Trevor's when Mateo showed up.
Ryan: You sent us both packing.
Hayley: Yeah. You were -- you were just being truthful with me. You were showing me how Mateo was still trying to control my life, and I didn't want to hear it, and I got very defensive and hostile.
Ryan: Hayley --
Hayley: You're my true north, Ryan. Remember? Sometimes I forget that myself, especially when the truth is biting me in the butt. And you were being honest with me, and that took tremendous guts, and I just spit it back in your face, and I threw you out, and I just want you to forgive me, please.

[Dog barks]

Janet: Smokey, there you are.
Woman: Janet, it's me, Sophia.
Janet: Sophia Malinowski. I thought so.
Sophia: You always were a smart girl.
Janet: Wait.
Sophia: What, no welcome wagon?
Janet: It's not a good time.
Sophia: Sure it is. You're husband and kid are out looking for the pooch. We just shared a sandwich, right, boy? He's friendlier than you are, Janet.
Janet: Why are you here?
Sophia: Call it nostalgia. You've been leading a lux life. Especially for a dead broad, huh?
Janet: What do you want?
Sophia: A couple of ex-cons like us? Old times, the future. We got so much to discuss.
Trevor: We're not giving up, Amanda. I'm going to go out --
Sophia: The boathouse tomorrow at dawn.
Janet: Wait --
Sophia: Our secret. Be there.
Janet: Uh -- hey, guys --
Trevor: Yeah?
Janet: Look who I found.
Amanda: Smokey!
Trevor: Oh.
Janet: Here you go.
Trevor: Hey. Oh, great. What is it, honey? You're shaking like a leaf.
Janet: I just was worried about Smokey. I -- I guess I didn't realize how upset I was till he came back.

Hayley: No, wait. Let me show you the one with the bee in the can. Wait, it's on this page.
Joe: Folks, sorry to break this up. Ryan needs sleep.
Hayley and Ryan: Awww.
Hayley: Fine. I can take a hint. I'll leave on one condition -- no wheelchair races unless I'm around to ride shotgun.
Ryan: You got it.
Hayley: Ok. I'll see you in the morning.
Ryan: Ok.
Hayley: I'll bring plenty of chocolate doughnuts.
Ryan: Yes.
Joe: Only if you bring some for me.
Hayley: Good night.
Ryan: Good night.
Hayley: That ought to hold you. Oh, feel better.
Ryan: Ok.
Hayley: Let's blow this joint.

Hayley: He seems to be doing better.
Joe: Mm-hmm.
Hayley: Yeah.
Joe: Well, if he doesn't push it, he'll be out of here soon. What's troubling you?
Hayley: He doesn't seem to have much memory of the accident. Do you think that, you know, that'll come back to him?
Joe: Well, that's hard to say. Sometimes with trauma like this, it just wipes out short-term memory. Still could come back. At this point, we just don't know.

[Ryan dreams about the accident]

Ryan: It's going to blow. Help -- help me. It's going to blow. I can't get out. Mateo, come back.
Mateo: Just hold on. I'll be back with help.

Ryan: Oh, my God. Mateo saved my life.

Marian: So, how do we stick it to Adam?
Liza: Mother, I think you're enjoying this a little bit too much.

[Colby cries]

Marian: It's all right, Liza. You stay. I'll go. And you can tell me what I've missed later. Bye, all.
