Edmund: Jack, this is very
impressive.
You've put together one great
investment strategy.
Alex: Yeah, I agree.
Jack: Well, thank you very
much.
I intend to see that
the Andrassy foundation thrives
financially.
Now all you need to do is
to sign the board resolution,
I can transfer these funds.
Edmund: Consider it done.
Jack: Good.
Now, on to the next order
of business.
If you want this foundation
to have the kind of
international profile we were
talking about, then you're going
to need to change your bylaws
so that you can expand
your board.
And then, upon that board,
you want to seat the most
prominent, talented individuals
you can get your hands on.
Edmund: That shouldn't be
very hard, finding people like
that.
Alex: I wonder if we could
just hold off on that
for while.
Edmund: Why?
Jack: Oh, I think I know
the reason.
You'd like to see the
directorship in place before
you expand the board, so that
the choice of director will be
yours and yours alone.
Is about that right?
Alex: Yeah.
Jack: Yeah.
So how goes the search?
Alex: Oh, I don't know.
It's disappointing, really.
I've met with a few candidates.
Jack: Nobody up to
your standards?
Alex: No, no, no.
They are very accomplished,
but they do seem to be more
interested in their own
self-promotion.
Jack: I see.
Well, at gives us a bit
of a dilemma, doesn't it?
I mean, we need find
a talented physician
with impeccable credentials who
shares Dimitri's vision.
Can such a creature exist?
Edmund: I don't know.
Jack, there has to be at least
one.
Alex: All right, fine.
Jack: Listen --
Alexandra, do you think there's
any possibility that one day
you'll wake up and realize that
Dimitri tailor-made this job
for you, and you'll take this
job?
Any possibility at all?
Edmund: I'd like the answer
to that question myself.
Vanessa: Guess who?
Palmer: My darling wife.
I recognized the diamonds.
Vanessa: Oh, only that?
Not that sweet, loving,
tender touch of my hands?
Palmer: Well, that,
too, of course.
Vanessa: Sorry I kept
you waiting, darling.
Palmer: Oh, well, I'm sure
you had plenty to do upstairs
by yourself.
Vanessa: Yes, well, I did
need a few moments to gather
my strength after that very
pleasurable workout you put me
through.
Luckily, it burns calories
and is very healthy.
Shall we?
Palmer: Oh -- oh, I'm sorry
to disappoint you, but
the dining room's closed
tonight.
Vanessa: Well, surely not
to you.
Palmer: Well, I'm afraid so,
yes.
The maitre d' was appropriately
contrite and he promised
to accommodate us in the bar.
Vanessa: At the bar?
Really?
You know, we should really just
buy this place and fire
the entire staff.
Palmer: No, no, no.
Now, surely you can think
of more pleasant ways to spend
my money.
Vanessa: Well, you know
something?
It just infuriates me that
you do not get the respect
that's due you.
Palmer: Well, I'm sure it
does.
But the fact remains the dining
room has been booked for,
I don't know, some kind of board
meeting.
Vanessa: Oh.
Tad: Turns out Adam's got
himself a board meeting tonight
at the Valley Inn.
It's perfect.
Rae: Perfect for what?
Tad: An ambush.
Rae: Kind of a public ambush,
isn't it?
Tad: Mm-hmm.
Let's just say I speak
for a group of people who would
love to see Adam humiliated --
the same way he humiliated
his brother and his wife and me
and anybody else who had
anything to do with "The Cutting
Edge."
Rae: So, this is payback
time.
Tad: Mm-hmm.
If you want in, I guarantee
you'll get your pound of flesh
out of him.
Rae: Why do I get the feeling
that I have to work for this
one?
Tad: Oh, Rae, nothing
worthwhile comes easy.
I need your help.
Seriously.
I want to knock his legs out
from under him.
And make sure he's good
and humble when he gets back up.
Rae: I see.
So that's all?
Tad: It's a start.
Marian: Adam?
Oh, for gosh sake, Adam, get up.
I mean, how dumb do you think
I am?
I know you're faking.
Come on, Adam, get up.
Look, I know there's nothing
wrong with you, so just get
up, ok?
Adam?
Adam?
Adam?
Alex: Now, you both know why
I do not want to head up this
foundation.
Jack: Yes, we've had this
conversation.
No reason to have it again,
I guess.
But we do need to get a director
in place.
Edmund: Well, in Alex's
defense, Jack, she has been
pretty occupied with Gillian's
recovery.
Jack: I'm sorry.
I didn't think.
How is Gillian?
Alex: Yeah, well,
she's progressing as well as can
be expected.
[Telephone rings]
Jack: Excuse me.
Jack Montgomery?
Liza: Hi, Jack, it's Liza.
I was calling to see if we could
push our meeting.
Jack: What, tomorrow
morning's not soon enough?
Liza: Well, I want to get
the divorce going as soon
as possible.
That's why I was hoping we could
meet tonight.
Jack: Tonight?
Well, I'm at the "Tempo" offices
right now, and then I'm
on my way home.
Liza: Well, you're still
living at the hotel, right?
Jack: Yes, yes, I still live
at the hotel.
Liza: Well, if it was ok
with you, we could meet
for a brief meeting
at the Valley Inn.
Jack: Well, I guess you're
in a real hurry, huh?
Liza: Well, the sooner I get
going with the divorce,
the sooner I can move on another
front.
Jack: Ok, well, I'm going
to need to wrap up here.
I tell you what, I'll see
you in about an hour.
That be all right?
Liza: That's great.
Thanks.
Tad: Here's the best part.
See, when it's all done, we just
turn off the lights, pick up
our props, and go home,
leaving Adam to have to explain
himself to his entire board
of directors.
So what do you say?
Rae: I say as revenge plots
go, it's -- it's good.
Tad: So you're in?
Rae: No.
Tad: What do you mean, no?
You love this stuff.
Rae: I know, I know.
It's just --
this is the kind of thing that
really gets me going first thing
in the morning, but I came
to town to get answers from Adam
chandler about where
my husband is.
I can't afford to alienate him,
Tad.
Tad: Ok.
Business is business.
You tell him Liza pressured you.
She's in on this, too.
Besides, he's sleazy, he's not
stupid.
He's going to know who's
behind it.
I'm his enemy.
And his target.
Rae: So he stole his wife's
television station just to fire you?
Tad: Yeah.
That's exactly what he did.
Are you telling me you want
to let him get away
with something like that?
Rae: You know, I know Duffy
Duffield.
I've been out at his operation
in California.
He is one of the heavy hitters
of the software business.
He -- he is the front man
for Adam Chandler?
Tad: Yeah.
Rae: Well, that certainly
makes you stop and think,
doesn't it?
It also makes me know that Adam
and Daniel have cut some kind
of a deal.
And he knows exactly where
Daniel is right now.
Tad: Yeah, well, you know me.
For a lot of years.
Surely you realize I'm not going
to take no for an answer.
Rae: I'm not telling you no.
I just need to think about it.
Tad: I can't take that
for an answer, either.
I don't have the time.
If this thing's going to happen,
it's going to happen tonight.
So if you want in, you're just
going to have to trust me
and jump.
Marian: What in the world
would --
smoke?
I smell smoke.
Adam, what have you done
in there?
Marian: Adam, listen to me,
if you're faking, I've got
a lethal weapon.
I'm prepared to use it.
Do you hear me?
So, get up, ok?
Come on, get up.
Get up, Adam.
Did you hear me?
I said Adam get up!
Something is very wrong here.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh, what am I going
to do?
Ah --
ah --
Marian: Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, he's not breathing.
Oh, my God.
How am I going to explain this
to Stuart?
Maybe he's not dead yet.
Maybe if I do mouth to mouth.
Right, mouth to mouth.
I'll --
oh, no, I can't do this.
Come on, Marian, you got to do
this.
You've got to do it for Stuart,
do you hear me?
Do it for Stuart.
Ok.
Ok.
I'll try.
Come on, Adam, come on.
Come on, Adam, come on.
Oh, please, God, please.
Come on, Adam, please.
[Adam coughs]
[Adam and Marian scream]
Vanessa: Palmer, you have
hardly touched your dinner.
Palmer: No, I'm just fine.
I really am just --
no, I've been eating much too
much lately.
I really must listen
to my doctor and just resume
a more reasonable diet.
I --
Vanessa: Well, fine,
but you don't have to resume it
tonight.
Anyway, actually, the only
decent thing they serve around
this place is the dessert tray
anyway.
Well, darling, if you can't eat
this faulted dinner, the least
you can do is have something
that's really fun and gooey
to top it off.
Waitress: I'm sorry, is there
something wrong with your meal?
Vanessa: Yes, there most
certainly is.
But never mind.
Go away.
I will serve my husband.
Oh, yum, doesn't that look
wonderful?
You know, if I had my druthers,
I would take one of each
upstairs and stuff my face.
Palmer: Why don't you?
Vanessa: Because,
darling, I happen to have a very
strong and handsome lover I have
to satisfy.
And don't think I don't notice
those young, beautiful women
eyeing you as you pass by,
which makes me think that I have
to count every single calorie
I have --
Palmer's voice: Who the hell
is he?
Man: Couldn't get
a positive I.D.
But as you can see,
he's a looker.
And young.
He and Mrs. Cortlandt seem very
close.
Palmer: You state
the obvious.
Looks like they made the grand
tour.
Man: The biggest hotels,
biggest restaurants,
biggest stores --
you'll note his wardrobe
improved with each city.
Palmer's voice: On my money.
Vanessa: Ooh!
Darling, mmm, yum, yum,
yum, yum, yum, yum.
You know, if I could eat
everything you do --
but you seem to have that kind
of metabolism.
You just wear it off anyway.
This one has your name on it,
Palmer.
Yum, yum, yum.
Come on, open wide, darling.
Palmer: Would you put that
down, put that down.
Don't you think I know what
you're doing?
Vanessa: Palmer, what are
you talking about?
Palmer: You know very well.
You're trying to kill me
with fat and cholesterol.
Vanessa: It's only an eclair,
Palmer, really.
I'm just trying to live a little
vicariously through you.
Palmer: You were trying
to shove a chocolate-covered
heart attack down my throat.
I've told you repeatedly that
the doctor is very concerned
about my health, and you insist
that I eat rare meat, all these
rich sauces, and every kind
of sugar you can lay
your hands on!
Vanessa: Darling,
darling, darling, if you don't
like it, simply just say so.
I thought you liked living
a little dangerously.
Well, should we just have
coffee?
Palmer, how could you possibly
think that I would wish you any
harm?
[Palmer imagines Vanessa talking to her "young man" after Palmer's death]
Vanessa: Poor Palmer.
How will I ever live
without him?
Man: Mrs. Cortlandt?
Vanessa: You, here.
Man: I'd like to offer
you my sincere condolences.
Vanessa: Thank you.
Man: Did he suffer?
Vanessa: Ooh, not much.
It was the last eclair that
killed him.
If I had only known --
I would've --
fed it to him so much sooner.
Man: And now you're rich.
Vanessa: We're rich.
Everything he had is mine.
And everything I have is yours.
[Man laughs]
Vanessa: Oh, darling.
Palmer?
The young lady's asking
you a question.
Waitress: Cream for
your coffee?
Palmer: No.
No, no, no, no.
Just take it away.
Take it away now.
Adam: No --
no --
no!
Oh!
I thought I had died and gone
to hell.
I pray that I never, ever again
wake up with your lips on mine.
Marian: Really?
Well, that goes double for me,
Adam!
And for the record, I was trying
to revive you.
I don't care whether you die
or go straight to hell,
but Stuart does.
I smelled smoke.
What on earth were you trying
to do in there, anyway?
Adam: I was --
I put something in the
microwave.
Marian: You're worth over
$2 billion and you don't know
how to use a microwave?
Adam: I have had a heart
episode.
I need to see --
I need medical attention.
Marian: You've got all
the medication you need right
back in that little cupboard
in there.
Adam: I passed out, Marian!
I need to see a doctor!
Marian: No!
I think we should just wait till
you pass out again,
because you look perfectly
healthy right now.
Adam: Fine.
That's fine.
It's academic anyway,
because I'll be out of here
by morning.
Marian: Oh, yes?
Well, hope springs eternal,
doesn't it?
Adam: I have a board meeting
at the Valley Inn tonight.
I have to be there to diffuse
a very serious crisis.
If I'm not there, they'll know
something is terribly wrong.
Marian: I don't believe
a word you're saying, Adam.
Adam: Well, fine.
You just wait until tomorrow,
until the police come and search
every inch of this place.
They'll find I'm here and you'll
find yourself in jail,
behind bars for kidnapping.
Marian: Ok.
All right.
Then you're just going to have
to make an appearance at that
board meeting aren't you?
Bye-bye, Adam.
Adam: Marian --
Marian?
Liza!
Ah, Marian --
Liza!
Come back!
Marian: Come on,
Stuart, answer, answer.
Oh, Stuart.
Darling, are you busy doing
anything right now?
Oh, great.
Please, could you please meet me
at the Valley Inn as soon
as possible?
Oh, thank you, darling, thanks.
See you soon.
Rae: I really do sympathize
with you.
Tad: So?
Rae: The last time I was
in this town, Adam Chandler
played me like I was a violin.
And this time, I'm going to be
a lot smarter about it.
Now, if I get involved
with your revenge plot -- I just
don't think it's smarter for me.
Tad: No, that's where you're
wrong.
This is exactly what you should
be doing.
Ask Liza.
Rae: Liza, come here.
Are you really going to go along
with this plot?
I mean, you're married
to the man.
You're sure you want to go
through with this?
Liza: Yes, I am.
Tad: Look, you say you want
Adam to take you seriously,
right?
Rae: Right.
Tad: Ok.
I say you don't give him
a choice.
He played you for a fool,
so you spit in his eye.
Liza's living proof that the man
cannot be trusted.
For the last year, she has given
him the benefit of the doubt,
saying he was a kinder,
gentler Adam.
Only to find out in the end he's
the same amoral creep he always
was.
You want answers from Adam?
Make sure --
Rae: Ok, all right, enough.
Enough, Tad, all right.
You convinced me.
Tad: I have?
Rae: Yes.
I've known types like him
before.
And you're both right.
You know what?
The only way you get
their attention is with
a two-by-four between the eyes.
So -- I'm in.
Ha.
Tad: I can't believe all
I had to do was tell the truth.
Rae: Listen, I survived
a flood.
You think I'm going to let
an Adam Chandler intimidate me?
I don't think so.
Tad: Great.
Thank you.
Liza: Well, not that you need
it, but I should take
you to makeup and wardrobe.
Rae: Oh, please.
Tad: Oh, one last thing.
Rae: Yes?
Tad: Why don't you show
her the script I wrote.
Rae: Oh.
Tad: And a little favor?
Don't change a word.
Rae: Oh.
Right.
Scott: Ok, so what'll be
our cue to go live?
Tad: I told you.
It's a piece of cake.
All you do is listen for Liza's
voiceover.
She's going to break
into the feed and announce we're
going live to the Valley Inn.
Ironically enough, we're going
to be carried by all
the affiliates who used
to carry us.
But I do mean live, ok?
So we can't afford any errors
on our end.
Scott: There won't be.
Tad: Ok, good.
Scott: Ok.
Tad?
Tad: Yeah?
Scott: I'm glad you're doing
this.
Adam's got to learn he can't
just steam-roll over people
because they're inconvenient
to him.
Tad: You still sore about
what he did to your old man?
Good.
Stay that way.
Scott: Hi.
I'm glad you came to --
Becca: I got a message
from Tad to meet him here.
Scott: Right.
Yeah, there's a lot going
on here today.
Greenlee: Like what?
Tad: Ladies, thank
you for coming.
We haven't got a lot of time,
so I'll make this brief.
How would you like to help us
stick it to Adam for trashing
WRCW?
Greenlee: I'm in.
Becca: What do we have to do?
Tad: Well, see, that's
the thing.
In the first place, you'll find
these black garment bags
in the Greenroom.
Those would be your costumes.
Becca and Greenlee: Costumes?
Tad: Yeah, yeah, a little
S&M.
Corsets, knee-high boots.
We can discuss the d collars.
Greenlee: Ooh, I'm
definitely in.
Becca: I'm sorry,
Tad, but that's not really me.
Eli: Hey, Scott,
we're getting ready to load up
the van, ok?
Scott: Yeah.
Coming.
Tad: Becca, I'm begging
you, ok?
I really need two girls
and I don't have time to replace
you with anybody else.
Becca: Well, Tad, I really
appreciate everything you've
done for me, putting me up
in your house, but I work
at the Glamorama, not WRCW.
Tad: Ok, well, then
you better start talking to Mama
about a raise because if I don't
get my job back, your paycheck's
going to be supporting a family
of four.
Alex: Oh.
Edmund: All these signatures
just for a few measly million
dollars.
Alex: Oh, I wonder what would
happen if I didn't sign some
of these.
Edmund: You'd go to jail.
Of course, if you went to jail,
you wouldn't be able to go back
to England.
Alex: I want you to know that
whatever happens, I'm not going
to leave Pine Valley until
Gillian gets better.
Edmund: That'll make Eugenia
very happy.
Alex: Me, too, actually.
I must say, I've enjoyed feeling
as if I were part of a family
again.
Edmund: There's no "as if"
about it.
You are part of the family.
Gillian -- she's getting better,
isn't she?
Alex: Some improvement.
I wish the aphasia would have
passed by now, though.
Edmund: This aphasia is very
strange.
Alex: Hmm.
Human brain, endlessly
fascinating.
Edmund: You know, in spite
of yourself, you're getting
caught up in medicine again.
Dimitri would like that.
Listen, I'm going to stop
by the hospital, check
on Gillian.
Alex: Yeah, I promised
Eugenia I was going to go
and listen to some Schubert
with her.
Edmund: Oh, well,
better you than me.
[Alex laughs]
Edmund: I'll see you later.
Alex: Um --
do you have a minute?
Jack: Opal.
Hi, I didn't expect to see
you here.
Opal: Palmer's here.
Pretend you're my boyfriend
again.
Jack: Opal --
Opal: Rutabaga, rutabaga,
rutabaga.
Jack: Six weeks from
the millennium and I'm sitting
here saying rutabaga, rutabaga.
I can't believe this.
Opal: Oh, rutabaga, rutabaga.
Jack: Yes.
Opal: Oh.
Thank you, Jack.
You are a real pal.
Jack: Opal, it's been years
since a woman's ex-husband gave
me that look.
Opal: Oh, yeah?
Make you feel young again?
Jack: No.
No, it makes me feel stupid.
Look, I do business
with Cortlandt Electronics.
That's just one of many reasons
this is just not such a good
idea.
Opal: Oh, I know, I know.
It is stupid.
It's true.
And I won't impose on you like
that again.
I promise.
Jack: It's ok.
Glad to help.
Can I get you a drink?
Opal: Yeah, I could use
a double scotch on the rocks.
Jack: Well, here.
You can have some of mine until
yours comes.
Vanessa: My, my, if isn't
Harold and Maude.
Oh, please, no, no.
Opal: Is there something
wrong with the ventilation
in here?
I smell formaldehyde.
Vanessa: Jackson.
Jack: Yes.
Vanessa: I've be en meaning
to ask you.
Have you happened to have met
Mayor Tuttwiller's niece?
She just moved here
from Altoona.
Jack: No, I haven't had
the pleasure.
Vanessa: Oh, well,
she's an attorney as well.
She's attractive, unattached,
and young.
I'd love to make an introduction
to you.
Jack: Well, thank you,
but I'm afraid I'm not
available.
I've got my hands full right
here with my little sweetcakes.
Tad: Ma?
Opal: Oh, hello, son.
Vanessa: Excuse me,
please, but I think I need
to get a reality check.
Opal: Oh.
Tad: Something I should know?
Opal: Well, if you don't know
already, Jackson Montgomery is
the best friend a person could
ever have.
Rae: Tad.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
What is the camera for?
I thought this was a little
pitch and then punch?
Tad: Oh, no, no,
relax, it's just for posterity.
Someday we're going to get
a huge laugh out of this.
Tiffany: Scott.
Scott: Tiffany.
Tiffany: Not that I get off
on gossiping about other
people -- you know.
But just so you know,
today at the Glamorama,
old Mrs. Greenlee was dissing
your dad.
Scott: Yeah, I don't find
that surprising.
Tiffany: But that's not it.
While she was being all snotty,
all her granddaughter did was
laugh.
But Becca --
she stood up for your dad
in a really awesome way.
She told both Greennlees what
she thought about your dad
and then what she thought about
them.
Scott: Thanks.
Tiffany: Well, I just thought
you should know, because some
people have a hard time
realizing what other people are
really like.
Especially when the other people
are of the opposite sex.
Well, that's it.
Becca: Um, it's just that now
that I've seen the costume,
I'm sure I don't want
to wear it.
Tad: Becca, what are
you telling me?
That Greenlee's got more guts
than you do?
Please.
Pigeon Hollow girls got it all
over some socialite snob.
I know.
I'm married to one.
Please?
Becca: Ok. Ok.
I'll do it, but let's just get
it over with?
Tad: My sentiments exactly.
Scott: Becca.
Tiffany told me what happened
at the Glamorama today.
How you stuck up for my father.
Becca: Yeah.
Why shouldn't I?
He's been nothing but kind
to me.
He's an honest, decent man.
Alfred: Tad?
Tad?
You weren't totally honest
with me.
You didn't tell me that
the target of your revenge was
Adam Chandler.
Tad: So what?
Alfred: Adam Chandler's
the main depositor of my bank.
He could get me fired with just
a nod of his head, a simple arch
of an eyebrow.
Tad: Alfred, relax.
You've just got to decide what's
more important -- a paycheck
or true love?
Alfred: Um --
Tad: Alfred. Alfred?
Look at me.
There are lots of banks.
Right?
There's only one Beverly
Moonbottom.
Come on.
Liza: I just want to get this
settled really quickly.
Jack: Well, Liza,
nobody likes a long,
slow, divorce.
That's for sure.
Liza: Well, I've had
practice.
This isn't the first time
I divorce Adam.
Jack: Yes, I know.
So, you know the drill.
You sign the complaint,
I'll file it.
That is if you're really sure.
Liza: I'm sure.
There's no hope for this
marriage.
Man: Where is Adam, Barry?
Second man: He's going
to have to explain his actions
on that Latin America deal
tonight, Barry.
Barry: Well, of course
he will, Simmons.
When you leave here,
all your questions will be
answered.
Marian: Tad?
Tad: Marian, have you seen
Adam?
Marian: What are you doing
here?
Tad: What do you mean,
what am I doing here?
Didn't Liza tell you?
Marian: Tell me what?
Tad: Stick around.
There's going to be some
fireworks.
Marian: Fireworks?
What do you mean fireworks?
Tad?
Tad: Fireworks.
Marian: What do you mean
fireworks?
Stuart: Fireworks?
Is that why you told me to drop
everything and meet you here?
Marian: Oh, no.
No, Stuart, at least,
I -- I hope not.
Darling, come on over here,
would you, right away?
We got to do this very quickly.
Take off your sweater, ok?
Stuart: Ok.
Marian: Thank you.
And put this tie on for me, all right?
Thank you.
Stuart: I'll dress up.
Ok, this better be important.
You know I'm only 10 pieces away
from finishing my 3d puzzle
of the Taj Mahal?
Marian: Well, honey, we can
finish it when we get home
afterwards, ok?
Stuart: Afterwards of what?
Marian: Oh, boy.
You know what?
Stuart: What?
Marian: I think this is going
to work, Stuart.
I really do.
Stuart: What's going to work?
Marian: Here, put your arms
through this right now.
Stuart: Ok.
Marian: Thank you.
Perfect.
Turn around, turn around.
Ok, now, listen to me, darling.
Stuart: Ok.
Marian: Nobody can imitate
Adam the way you can.
Stuart: Yeah.
Marian: And right now there's
a board meeting of Chandler
Enterprises that's going
to start in that room
in a couple seconds.
I want you to go in there
and pretend to be Adam, ok?
Stuart: What?
Marian, I can't do that!
Marian: Please, Stuart,
please.
You have to.
If not for my sake,
then for Liza and Colby's.
Please.
Stuart: Why?
Does this have something to do
with the horrible thing he did
to them?
Marian: Yes!
It does.
Barry: Ladies and gentlemen,
all is well now.
Our leader has arrived.
Adam, come on in.
They're ready for you.
Barry: We have a possible
mutiny on our hands.
Simmons and Warren already smell
blood.
Now, we've got to keep Talbot
and Costello on our side.
Stuart: Simmons and Warren.
Talbot and Costello.
[Telephone rings]
Vanessa: Hello?
Man: Hey, it's me.
I'm in New York.
I could see you soon,
Vanessa: No, darling,
please, not quite yet.
You mustn't come here.
I need a little more time
to work on Palmer.
Man: Oh, but I'm bored.
I want to see you.
Besides, I'm broke again.
I've spent all of Palmer's
money.
Uh-oh.
Now you're mad at me.
Vanessa: No, no,
no, darling, I am not mad
at you.
It's just that you have to be
patient, sweetheart.
We will be together very soon.
I promise you.
Ciao.
Edmund: What is it?
Alex: Well, Dimitri wanted us
to take care of each other.
And -- and I think we both
realize that that's not
feasible.
Edmund: I don't even know
if it's possible.
Alex: Right.
Yeah, exactly.
But now we've accepted that
we're family.
So I --
I just wanted you to feel that
should you ever need --
you know, something that no one
else in the world but me
could do --
that you'd ask me to do it.
Edmund: You've already helped
me a great deal, Alex.
Alex: Oh, good.
Good.
Edmund: You --
you helped me because
you made Dimitri happy.
And it makes me feel good
knowing that you just wanted
what was best for him.
Alex: Yeah, I did.
I'm pleased you feel that way.
Edmund: So am I.
Barry: Good evening
ladies and gentlemen.
Our first order of business is
the reading of the quarterly
report.
Will the secretary --
Simmons: Before we proceed
with that, Barry, we'd like Adam
to address the concerns some
of us have here over our current
Latin American venture.
Man: Absolutely.
Stuart: Oh, what do you want
to know?
Simmons: Well, we want
to know what you intend to do
about the dismal situation down
there.
Man: You pushed through this
deal against our best advice.
Woman: We closed three
factories in Pennsylvania
and moved them to Costa Rica.
What do you have to say about
that?
Stuart: Hmm.
Um, um --
Costa Rica.
Did you know
that the main crop in Costa Rica
is coffee?
Simmons: What?
Woman: Well --
Stuart: Hmm?
Hmm?
But the interesting thing is --
they have to plant the entire
crop on the south side
of the mountain.
Because,
you see,
the --
violent winds from the north
would come down and destroy
their entire economy.
Man: Violent winds
from the north --
will destroy their entire
economy.
Barry: That's quite a threat,
Adam.
Stuart: Yeah.
Sure is.
They'll do anything they can
to avoid it.
Woman: They will?
Simmons: Right, right.
Man: Oh, bravo, bravo.
Rae: Good evening,
ladies a gentlemen.
I'm so terribly sorry
to interrupt your board meeting,
but I have urgent business
with Mr. Chandler.
Adam, I bet you didn't expect
to be on camera, did you?
Right there.
[Adam changes channels in the safe room]
Liza: We interrupt this
encore presentation
of "The Cutting Edge" to take
you live to Pine Valley
for the latest breaking story
from the Valley Inn --
Adam: Liza?
Rae: I'm sure your board
meeting is terribly important.
But what my friends and I have
in store could be just
as interesting.
Adam: What the --
Stuart?
Rae: Now that Adam Chandler
is the majority stockholder
of WRCW --
Man: What?
Rae: Oh, I see.
You didn't know that.
Oh, yes, it's absolutely true.
This is the individual who is
behind the buyout of WRCW.
In fact, take a look.
This is his FCC. License
to prove it.
Adam: Where did you get that
thing?
Barry!
Barry: May I see that?
Rae: Oh, yes, of course,
you can have it.
Now, of course, Adam Chandler
has not let that news get out.
Have you, Adam?
But how could we let
an opportunity like this pass?
No, no, we couldn't.
Because you know what?
We're all probably making
television history here tonight.
But you see, my colleagues
and I are here to pitch a new
idea for a show to Adam
Chandler.
A game show.
Adam: What the hell is going
on here?
Rae: And the motto
for our new show is, "Don't Get
Mad, Get Even."
Man: Good heavens.
Woman oh, my --
Man: Whoa.
