ALL MY CHILDREN

NOVEMBER 3, 1999



Adam: Rape? You don't mean that.
Liza: What would you call what you did to me?
Adam: Not rape.
Liza: You violated me, Adam.
Adam: Colby is not a product of rape.
Liza: You impregnated me with your sperm. You took away my choices. You robbed me of my options. You didn't give me any chance to say no. It was rape. You exerted power over me.
Adam: No, rape is an act of violence.
Liza: It's about power, Adam. And I was your victim.
Adam: My -- Liza, I would never hurt you.
Liza: Don't you understand how this hurts me? Knowing the lengths you would go to deceive me? You spent millions on a fertility clinic to make a five-minute sperm switch.
Adam: To hell with the money.
Liza: To hell with the values, the morals. You used me. You committed an act of deliberate brutality, Adam.
Adam: You completely misunderstand. What I did proves how deeply and completely I love you.

Edmund: "And in the end, our brotherhood defined us. Ancient injuries were forgiven."

[Knock on door]

Stella: Dr. Hayward.
David: Stella, I know it's late. I'm sorry, but I need to speak to Edmund. It's urgent.
Edmund: Stella, it's ok. Thank you. Look, it is late. I'm in the middle of something. Come back tomorrow.
David: Tomorrow the decision might already be made.
Edmund: What decision?
David: For the director of the Andrassy foundation. I'm the ideal candidate. My credentials speak for themselves. Even Joe Martin has thrown his support my way.
Edmund: Well, sounds like you're about to be hired.
David: Alex shot me down.
Edmund: Well, it is her choice. Dimitri did name her head of the foundation.
David: She can't make any decisions without the approval of the foundation's board of trustees. You're on that board, Edmund. You can challenge her veto.
Edmund: Look, I don't want to be a referee of a grudge match, ok? You two work it out.
David: You might want to reconsider your position.
Edmund: No. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some work to do.
David: You've come to me on numerous occasions, Edmund, asking for my help. You owe me.

Trevor: Whoa. You scared me half to death.
Hayley: Hey.
Trevor: What are you doing sitting there all alone by yourself?
Hayley: I'm waiting for a phone call.
Amanda: I'm trashed.
Janet: Well, I don't blame you, young lady. It's been a very eventful evening.
Amanda: Am I grounded for losing my costume?
Trevor: No, you just got to give your caldron full of goodies there.
Janet: Just till the morning. How about I take you upstairs and tuck you into bed?
Trevor: Good night, sweetie. Poor Amanda. Sounds like she's really had a fright tonight, I'll tell you.
Hayley: Thrills and chills I could live without.
Trevor: Yeah, what do you think about this witch-seeing thing, huh? Hello, Tink. Are you there?
Hayley: Yeah, I'm here. But where the hell is Ryan?
Trevor: What, he didn't show up?
Hayley: Nope. And Mateo's out there somewhere feeling really rejected.
Trevor: There could be a zillion reasons the guy didn't show up.
Hayley: Without calling?
Trevor: Well, maybe he's fixing to do some kind of Halloween surprise thing for you, huh?
Hayley: Or maybe he ran into Mateo's fist.
Trevor: Mateo's boiling point might have dropped recently, but he's still a decent guy.
Hayley: Uncle Trevor, you know that Mateo has used Ryan for a punching bag in the past. And tonight I did something really stupid. I upped the ammo.
Trevor: Well, he still wants to get back with you, right? He's not going to do anything that's going to blow his chances, that's for sure.
Hayley: I nuked his chances. Mateo accused me of sleeping with Ryan, you know, and I just -- I wasn't thinking. I -- I didn't tell him the truth. I let him believe that Ryan and I were sleeping together.
Trevor: Oh, boy.
Hayley: Yeah. I'm telling you, if Mateo runs into Ryan out there, anything could happen.

Mateo's voice: How's a man supposed to work things out with his wife if you're sitting whispering in her ear the whole time?
Ryan: You're not going to pin this on me, man, because that whole time I didn't know what I wanted. Even after the kiss on the beach, I didn't know what I wanted. But now I do. And I'm going to fight for her.

[Mateo stands and watches Ryan trapped in the car]

Mateo's voice: It would be so easy. So easy. No witness. All I have to do is walk away. Ryan will go up in flames, and Hayley will come back to me.

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

Hayley: Well, Scott hasn't seen Ryan since they separated at BJ'S, and nobody has seen Mateo at S.O.S. Tonight I'm going to call Derek.
Trevor: Tink, Tink, think before you go calling the cops. I mean, how long has it been since you saw Mateo and Ryan, what, a couple of hours?
Hayley: I got a bad feeling, Uncle Trevor, ok?
Trevor: So what do you think, Mateo's blown a fuse, he's out gunning for Ryan? I mean, how real is that? Come on.
Hayley: You didn't see him tonight. He didn't blow a fuse. There was something wrong. He was calm, peaceful. The calm before the storm.
Trevor: Mateo wants to make love, not war. In the end, he'll do the right thing. Hmm?

Mateo: Gillian. Help's on its way, ok?

David: And what exactly do you find so amusing?
Edmund: Oh. Hayward, the shoe is just on the other foot now.
David: Did I turn you down when you needed help exhuming your brother's body? And who helped you analyze that sample? I was also the one that suggested Liza's daughter as a possible donor for the stem cell --
Edmund: All right, all right. What makes you think I have any influence over Alex?
David: You're Dimitri's brother. I'm sure she would respect your opinion.
Edmund: You'd be dead wrong.
David: Still, she can't discount your vote. Look, besides, if I am named director of the foundation, Alex is free to go back to London. Obviously, that wouldn't be such a great loss to you
Edmund: You know, I don't understand why this is such a big deal to you. I mean, you're a renowned heart surgeon, so money's not the issue. If she rejects you, why don't you just accept it?
David: I can't do that.
Edmund: Why not?
David: Because then Alex would win.
Edmund: Oh, I see. So this is personal. This is sort of a grudge. What did Alex do to you to make you hate her so much?

Liza: Stop blaming this unspeakable act in the name of love.
Adam: It's true.
Liza: This act of love is an insult -- to me, to the child we lost.
Adam: Was it wrong to want to fill that void?
Liza: No. You can't replace one child with another.
Adam: Liza, that was never my intention. Colby is her own very own miracle. She's a gift to us, to both of us.
Liza: You know, I can see why it was so easy for you. Loving her, accepting her was no sacrifice. When I was walking down the aisle marrying you, holding your daughter in my arms, how could you resist?
Adam: I love you and Colby with no apologies and no ulterior motives.
Liza: Adam, breathing to you is an ulterior motive. I should have known. I should have known better. The shelf life on the new and improved Adam Chandler expired a long time ago.
Adam: Liza --
Liza: No, don't touch me.
Adam: Liza, I know this is terribly upsetting to you, but, sweetheart, just look around you. Look at what we have. Look at the wonderful, wonderful life that we have -- you and me and Colby. And it'll be even better and simpler when Jake is out of the picture. How many times did you wish that I were Colby's natural father?
Liza: In hindsight? Never.
Adam: That's not true. You know that's not true. And it gave me hope, it gave me courage to face this night when it finally came. Don't you see? The wish has come true. I am Colby's one and only father.
Liza: I wish to God that that weren't true. I wish that anyone were Colby's father, anyone but you.
Adam: Liza, you don't mean that. You don't really wish that I weren't Colby's father.
Liza: Yes, I do. You're ruthless and manipulative and cruel. And someday she'll know what you did to me, that you treated me like cattle, like blue-ribbon breeding stock.
Adam: Liza, don't be -- I know you're in shock. Please, please, don't talk like that. I know -- I know this has been very hard on you. Believe me, I understand.
Liza: No, you understand nothing!
Adam: If we could just have a little more time --
Liza: Time? Time for what? For me to gather up my self-respect? I had a good life. And now I have -- all I know is I have to get Colby the hell away from you as soon as I can.

Jake: Hi, Jennie.
Jennie: Dr. Martin, I'm sorry for paging you off duty.
Jake: That's all right. Life happens. What do you got?
Jennie: An unusual case. It's either call you or the hardware store.
Jake: Sterling silver.
Axel: Please, don't do that. I have a terrible headache, not to mention an incredible sinus pressure.
Jake: That voice sounds familiar.
Axel: Axel Green.
Jake: Axel Green, Jake Martin. So, Axel, how's show biz?
Axel: Oh, I'm between jobs.
Jake: Hmm. You want to tell me what happened here?
Axel: Well, I needed rent money, so I took a gig emceeing a beauty contest.
Jake: On Halloween?
Axel: Well, it was for Ms. Trick-or-treat. Instead of swimsuits, they had a competition for costumes. I had it down to two contestants.
Jake: Good. And?
Axel: Well, it was Cleopatra and a biker chick. But upon closer inspection, I noticed the biker chick had a creeping case of 5:00 shadow.
Jake: Ah, the she was a he. Hmm.
Axel: And the queen of the drag strip was a drag queen, so naturally I crowned Cleo Ms. Trick-or-treat.
Jake: And the biker dude -- chick dude crowned you. Yeah. Well, how did you get here, Axel?
Axel: Cleo dropped me off. Lucky for me, she had a little sunroof. Look, Jake, you've got to help me out. I have an audition tomorrow morning for the Pepper Pot Playhouse.
Jake: Well, Axel, the way I see it then, you have two options -- if they're doing a revival of "National Velvet," I'd say you're a cinch to play the loving cup. Or we can do what my mom did when the same thing happened to Tad.
Axel: Tad had a trophy stuck on his head?
Jake: No, not exactly. He got his watermelon head stuck between the bars of a wrought iron fence.
Jennie, I need a pound of butter, some Vaseline, and a spatula, please. Stat. Axel, we're about to grease your way to freedom, buddy.
Straight. Right. Slow down. Left. Very good.

Edmund: So you and Alex were acquainted before Pine Valley?
David: After all these years, the ice princess hasn't thawed a bit.
Edmund: What are we talking about, lovers scorned?
David: Oh, please. Trust me, the woman's not my type.
Edmund: Ok. Then what was it, professional rivalry?
David: We did our residency together at St. Bartholomew's hospital in London. Our paths rarely crossed.
Edmund: And when they did?
David: You're not going to help me unless I give up a piece of my past, are you?
Edmund: No, I'm not. You want to help me? Clarify the situation with you and Alex.
David: All right, fine. As long as you assure me that anything I tell you stays between us.
Edmund: Deal. Unless you killed somebody, then all bets are off.
David: Some people find a need to dig up the past, to relive it. To my mind, it is pointless and unproductive. But Alex refuses to forgive or forget.
Edmund: Go on.
David: I dated one of her roommates once. It ended badly. And Alex continues to blame me for something that was completely out of my control. I was up for a prestigious fellowship, and she made it her mission to make sure that I did not get it.
Edmund: Sounds like deja vu all over again.
David: No. This time, she's not going to win.
Edmund: Don't underestimate her. She was pretty tenacious with Dimitri's secret.
David: Alex is barely a practicing physician, and I've already made global contributions. Doesn't it gall you that she refuses to honor your brother's final wish? If she doesn't want the position, then it's up to you to make sure that it's given to someone that will honor the position as well as your brother's memory.
Edmund: I'll tell you what, Hayward. I'm not going to make any promises. But I will consider taking your case to Alex.
Alex: Oh, please, don't. I've already made my mind up. And I'm not changing it.

Trevor: Tink, think about it. How many times has Uncle Porkchop steered you wrong, huh?
Hayley: Should I make a list?
Trevor: Oh, you got me. All right, don't trust me, trust Mateo, hmm? You got to trust him. He'll come around. If it's going to make you feel better, I'll call my friends on the force and they'll keep an eye out for his car, all right?

Janet: Well, it took two bedtime stories, Mr. Bearly, a back rub, and a night-light to get Amanda to go to sleep.
Hayley: Sounds like she's got a bad case of the "Blair Witch" syndrome.
Janet: Something out there spooked her pretty bad.
Hayley: Sometimes you can get a feeling in your head, and no matter how hard you try, you just can't shake it.
Janet: You're still worried about Mateo and Ryan.
Trevor: The guys on patrol are looking out for Mateo's wheels.
Hayley: You can't fool me. I can see it in your eyes. You're worried, too.
Trevor: Oh, Tink.

[Amanda screams]

Janet: Amanda -
Trevor: Amanda!

[Amanda screams]

Mateo: Come on. Come on. Aahhhhh! Aah!

[Mateo drags Ryan out of the car…then the car explodes]

[Sirens]

Paramedic: Stay put, buddy. Can you tell me your name?
Mateo: Yeah, I'm Matt.
Paramedic: Matt, what happened here?
Mateo: The car exploded. I just got the wind knocked of me. I'm all right.
Paramedic: Stay on the ground.
Mateo: No, no, I'm fine. I'm fine.
Paramedic: You might have a concussion.
Mateo: No, no, I'm fine. They were in the car when it crashed. I was just passing by.
Paramedic: I'll get the backboards.
Second paramedic: Maybe you should radio for some help. We're going to need it.

Janet: You just had a bad dream, that's all.
Trevor: Yeah, it must have been a real doozy.
Amanda: I know, but it seemed so real.
Trevor: Well, you know how sometimes you're afraid of the dark? Ghosts and goblins, they're afraid of the light. Watch this, huh? Take that. Take that!
Amanda: She's not afraid of the light. She's not afraid of anything.
Janet: Who's she?
Amanda: The witch. She threw me down a well.
Janet: Sweetheart, you must be thinking of the well at Wildwind. Remember when you fell down the well?
Trevor: Yeah, and those bad times are all over. You're here with your mom and dad, sweetheart. You're ok.
Amanda: It just seemed so real. I was walking in the woods, and all of a sudden I turn around and she jumps out from behind me. And I just tried to run, but my feet wouldn't move. And she turned around and grabbed me. And she said, "Do you know where bad little girls go? They go down." And she just threw me down the well. And right before I hit the bottom, I woke up. Mommy, I know she's after me. Don't let her get me.
Janet: No, it's going to be all right. There's no witch. There can't be.

Adam: Liza, listen to me, please. You remember how it was back before Jake ruined everything, before he went back on his word, when he said that he was going to make no demands on you and then turned around and demanded his paternal rights? You were ready to let me raise Colby as my daughter.
Liza: You want to know why?
Adam: Because you knew I would love her.
Liza: No. Because I did not have a knack for happiness as a child. The only time I ever experienced happiness or contentment -- and this is the irony of it -- was when I fell in love with you.
Adam: Well, then there's hope for us.
Liza: No. I would never wish my fate on Colby. I would never want her to have my childhood, always feeling like she didn't belong. I was feeling grateful that the Martins were in her life, that they would fill in the blanks, that they would pick up the slack, that they would give her these family values that she so needed. But now the only man she's going to know, the only father she's going to have is going to be you. How sad is that?
Adam: Colby already loves me.
Liza: Heaven help her. Tell me, Adam, when were you planning on letting your daughter know the true facts of her life?
Adam: The true facts of her life are that her two parents live together and love her very much.
Liza: No, I meant if tonight had never happened, when were you planning on telling her the truth? At her sweet 16? Maybe the day of her prom? Maybe her wedding day when Jake was ready to walk her down the aisle, you could just elbow him out of the way? Do you have any idea how devastating it's going to be to him once he finds out that she is not his?

[Telephone rings]

Liza: Hello.
Jake: Liza, it's Jake.
Liza: Jake, hi. Where are you?
Jake: I'm at the hospital. A little ER. S.O.S. Listen, I had to leave Colby at Tad and Dixie's. I hope that's ok.
Liza: No, that's great.
Jake: I'm going to pick her up after I leave the hospital. We'll sleep over at Myrtle's.
Liza: I -- I -- I need a little time here. I got to do some restructuring.
Jake: Did you call Adam out about the big switch?
Liza: Yeah. It's been quite the night.
Jake: Well, fill me in. I want to know what the SOB Has to say for himself.

Alex: I'm not changing my mind. David is the last person I would consider to head this foundation.
Edmund: Alex, what, in your mind, disqualifies David?
Alex: Well, he knows my reasons. Let's just say that he's not suited for the position.
Edmund: Ok. Alex, David shared some of your history, the two of you -- the falling out you had when you were residents.
Alex: Hmm. I'm sure it was the watered-down version.
Edmund: Is it possible that the two of you might have simply had a misunderstanding?
Alex: No. There was no misunderstanding. This was a senseless tragedy that could have been avoided. The man is responsible for my best friend's death.!
David: For the very last time, I was not responsible for Siobhan's death.
Alex: You destroyed her life.
David: Her death was regrettable, but I was not at fault.
Alex: You drove a woman to her death, and you call that regrettable?
David: Look, I am not going to continue to go through with this with you --
Edmund: All right, all right --
David: This has nothing to do with the foundation.
Alex: Yes, it does --
Edmund: Hold it, hold it --
Alex: It has everything to do with it.
Edmund: Hey, my kids are sleeping. Just -- you first. Who is Siobhan?
Alex: Siobhan. She was my friend. We lived together. We shared a flat. And one afternoon, we went to this pub and we had a drink, and that's where she met David.
David: All right, look, Siobhan was a lovely woman. But she was also highly unstable manic-depressive. Nobody in their right mind would hold me responsible for her drug overdose.
Alex: You're responsible for the child she was carrying. You were the reason she took the bloody pills in the first place.
David: I'm telling you, Alex, if you continue to spread these lies, I'm going to drag you into court and sue you for slander.
Alex: They're not lies! They're not lies.

[Telephone rings]

Edmund: Quiet. Hello. Yeah, this is he. What? Ok. All right, I'll be right there. That was the police. Gillian had a car accident.
Alex: What?
Edmund: She's in the hospital.
Alex: Oh. Is she hurt?
Edmund: Come on. I don't know.
David: I'm coming with you.

Trevor: I will bet you your whole pocket monster collection that that was just one of those garden-variety, everyday Halloween witches.
Amanda: What was she doing in the woods then?
Hayley: She was probably looking for that bottle cap guy that you guys were looking for.
Janet: Or maybe she was on her way to a party and took a shortcut.
Trevor: Whatever. The only witch I've ever seen in my life was Wilma, right? Your grandmother. And she's out on some cruise, probably, somewhere, who knows where in the world.
Janet: Enough talk about witches. Why don't I go make us a pot of hot chocolate.
Trevor: Ooh. I'm getting marshmallows.

[Telephone rings]

Hayley: I'll get it. Hello.

Amanda: I know what I saw, and it wasn't in my mind. She was real and alive.

Hayley: Axel, what's up?
Axel: Well, I'm here at PVH. Hayley, I don't want to scare you, but I heard one of the nurses say something about Ryan being brought here in an ambulance.
Hayley: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
Amanda: Hayley, what's the matter?
Hayley: Uncle Trevor, Janet!
Trevor: Was that Ryan?
Hayley: No, it was Axel. Ryan's been taken to PineValley Hospital.
Janet: What happened?
Hayley: I don't know yet. But it looks like we were both wrong about Mateo.

Axel: I know it's Halloween and all, but I don't want to scare anybody in here. Do you think you could help me out with this?
Nurse: I'll take care of you right over here.

Jake: Liza, you there?
Liza: Yeah. Adam and I have to talk over some issues. I'll talk to you later.
Jake: Ok. Well, don't worry about Colby. She loves it at Tad's, and Dixie's great with her.
Liza: Yes, she likes it there. I'll call you later, ok? Bye.

Jake: That's a good look for you, Axel.
Axel: Jake, I heard the EMT.s Are going to be bringing Ryan Lavery in.

Jake: What do you got?
Paramedic: Car crash.
Positive l.O.C., Possible collapsed lung.
Jake: And vitals?
Paramedic: B.P. 100/60. Heart rate 112. Respiration's 36 and shallow.
Jake: He's got Hamman's sign. Get x-ray up here, STAT. I want a 12-gauge needle, a thoracotomy tray, and a 28 French test tube. We need to get admitting bloods, type and hold two units. Let's get him stabilized.
Jake: Matt? What's up? You all right?
Mateo: There was a car accident.
Jake: Are you all right?
Mateo: Yeah, I'm --
Jake: Were you involved? Let's get you checked out.
Mateo: No, no, no. I'm fine. But Gillian -- you need to check Gillian.
Jake: Gillian? No, what happened to --
Mateo: She was in the car with Ryan.
Jake: What's up?
Paramedic: Positive l.O.C. We couldn't get a pressure on the field. With mast trousers fully inflated, we got 70 over palp and holding.
Jake: Respiration's?
Paramedic: Labored, but she's doing all right. Increasingly distended abdomen.
Jake: All right, she's hemorrhaging. We need to get her into surgery. Call the OR. Get a team ready. I want type and cross for six units. And call dr. Webber. Get him up here, STAT.

[Monitor beeps]

Jake: Call a code.

Adam: Liza, don't condemn me. Give us a chance to work through this. Take some time. Try to see my side.
Liza: I'm not promising you anything. I need some time to think alone. I'm going to sleep in the bedroom. You can make due somewhere else.
Adam: I can stay?
Liza: Keep your distance.
Liza: I wish that you had realized that I would have fallen in love with you baby or no baby because I never stopped loving you. I wish if only you'd had trust, if only you'd had faith. Oh, Adam, if only.

Janet: You think you can get some sleep now, honey?
Amanda: Yeah, I guess so.
Trevor: Yeah, especially if I tell her one of my stories. Come on.
Janet: Just remember the witch isn't real.
Trevor: Uh-huh.
Janet: She can't hurt you. She can't get anywhere near you.

Jake: I'm going to shock her. 200 Joules. Clear.
Nurse: No response.
Jake: 300 Joules. Clear.
Nurse: We have rhythm.
Jake: Get her BP
Nurse: I can barely palp it at 60.
David: What's her status?
Jake: I can't maintain her pressure because she's hemorrhaging. I got Brian Webber waiting in the OR.
David: All right, hold on. We just brought her back from cardiac arrest.
Alex: This doesn't concern you.
Jake: She's arresting because she's hemodynamically unstable. We need to get her into surgery.
Alex: Can I observe?
Jake: Yes.
David: You have to let me scrub in. I may need to operate.
Jake: You're not going to touch her. We need to get her into surgery.

Hayley: What have you done to Ryan? My god, Mateo. What the hell's the matter with you?

[Ryan groans]

Hayley: Ryan?
Jennie: It looks worse than it is. He's got a concussion and a collapsed lung.
Hayley: How did this happen?
Jennie: Auto accident. The gas tank leaked, and the car exploded.
Hayley: A car accident? I thought he had been in a fight. I thought he had been in a fight.
