Erica: Well? Is it true?
Bianca: Is what true? I don't know what you're talking about.
Erica: What Greenlee told me. And she took great delight in telling me. Look, I didn't believe her at first. But it's true, isn't it?
Bianca: I hate Greenlee Smythe! She had no right to say anything!
Liza: Ok. What's so urgent? Oh, I guess it really wasn't so urgent.
Ryan: Uh -- yeah. Well, Rosette was just leaving, and then I'm all yours.
Rosette: Call me.
Ryan: All right, I will. Soon as I'm free. Bye.
Liza: Can we get along with this, please? I mean, it's been a long day.

[Music plays]

Liza: I'm tired, I want to go home, and, you know, in my opinion, Colby kisses better than you do.
Ryan: You think so?
Liza: What are you -- what are you doing?
Ryan: Now, just relax.
Liza: No!
Ryan: Just relax, close your eyes, and go with me, Liza. I need you to tell me something. When you go to sleep at night, what do you dream of?

Tad: You have a good time in Milwaukee, Mom. I love you, ok? Here's Pop.
Joe: Yeah. Hi. I'll call you later. No, no, no, Jake's fine. He's fine. He's just not home yet, that's all, yeah. Yeah, you can talk to him later on tonight. Miss you, too, Sweetheart. Bye. I hate not telling her the truth.
Tad: Look, there's no reason to worry her, Pop. I promise you, Jake's going to show up.
Joe: I know, I know there's no -- listen, I'm very sorry to have worried you like this.
Dixie: No, you're not worrying us. You can worry us any time you want.
Joe: Does that mean he really hasn't been gone that long? What, six, seven hours, something like that? It's the way he just disappeared from the hospital.
Tad: Now, there's no one that knows where he might be?
Joe: No one. No one. And you know how he's been. I mean, he's fine, and then, you know, he can go into one of his dark, dark moods without a second's warning, and --

Gillian: Hi!
Jake: Hey, guys.
Tad: Well, you're in big trouble, young man.
Jake: What? What, were you worried about me?
Joe: Oh, no, no. What made you think that?
Dixie: Where'd you disappear to?
Jake: Well, I'm sorry, everyone. We got called on an emergency. It was a great emergency, actually. Remember I told you about the pregnant teen at the hospital?
Tad: Yeah, the one that David wanted to throw in jail for being uninsured?
Jake: That's the one. Well, Leila gave birth in an abandoned cabin up in the woods.
Dixie: What? How is she?
Jake: Well, how are they? Mother and son are doing great.
Gillian: Thanks to Jake.
Jake: And my talented assistant here.
Dixie: You assisted?
Gillian: Mm-hmm.
Dixie: That's amazing. How was it?
Gillian: It was unbelievable. And you know what Leila's going to name the baby? Jake.
Joe: Oh, my -- that's wonderful, Son. That's wonderful.
Jake: Well, that's only part one of wonderful. Part two -- Gillian and I are moving in together. I mean, that is ok if we stay at the house here?
Joe: Oh, is it ever. Nothing could make me happier.
Tad: Why don't you call Mom and fill her in?
Jake: Yeah. Good idea.
Joe: You do that.
Jake: Ok.
Joe: And meanwhile, I'll go defrost the macaroni and cheese your Mom left for us. I'm sure there's enough for all of us, not to mention half the neighborhood.
Dixie: Let me help you, Joe.
Jake: Oh, no, no, Sweetheart, Sweetheart, just take it easy. I'll take care of it.
Dixie: Oh, ok.
Tad: Love you.
Dixie: Love you, too.

Dixie: Wow! That's great news. That's very exciting. Congratulations.
Gillian: Thank you. Remember when you filled me in on all the secrets of being a Martin wife? I'm trying to follow them.
Dixie: Well, it looks like it's working. We're so lucky to be a part of this family.
Gillian: Dixie? Are you ok?
Dixie: It's nothing. It's nothing.
Gillian: You were fine just a second ago.
Dixie: It's just Tad -- the way he looked at me. He loves me. The whole family loves me. I'm so lucky. I feel so foolish.
Gillian: My God, Dixie. What did you do?
Dixie: I'm so ashamed to tell you. I -- I think I trusted the wrong person.
Gillian: David.

Dixie: Don't you ever touch me again.

Vanessa: David!

Edmund: Been looking for you.
Dimitri: I thought you might be.
Edmund: I just spoke to my lawyer. The deal is done. I sold Wildwind.
Dimitri: I -- I know.
Edmund: You couldn't possibly know.
Dimitri: Your lawyer was speaking to people representing me, Edmund. I bought Wildwind.
Edmund: Who the hell do you think you are?

Man: He's done it again -- using his power to humiliate you, to show you you're nothing more than the dirt on his shoes.

Dimitri: Edmund?

Man: You've got to show him you're not dirt, son. You're not dirt. And there's only one way. You have to kill him.

Erica: So it's true, then, what Greenlee said?
Bianca: Do you want me to leave?
Erica: Leave? What?
Bianca: I don't want you to hate me, Mom.
Erica: Hate you? Honey, I could never, ever hate you.
Bianca: Mom, don't you understand? Everything's going to be different between us now.
Erica: Oh, Honey, please don't be so hard on yourself. I -- I understand completely. I don't blame you.
Bianca: You don't?
Erica: No. This is my fault, Honey. I blame myself. I mean, looking back, it was very clear. And anyway, I should have come to you. I should have come to you and asked you directly after Uncle Jack told me.
Bianca: Uncle Jack? He told you, too?
Erica: He told me that I was making you go along with this Miss Young Enchantment campaign to please myself. And then Greenlee Smythe came along and said you hated it and that the very thought of it made you miserable.
Bianca: I -- Miss Young Enchantment.
Erica: Looking at you now, I can see that they were right. You don't want to do it. You just agreed to please me. So, Honey, you don't have to do it. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do.
Bianca: Mom -- yeah. Thank you.
Erica: I'm sorry if I made you unhappy.
Bianca: You didn't. It's ok.
Erica: No, Honey, I -- what I was after was just the opposite, really. I guess I was just being selfish.
Bianca: No, you weren't, Mom. It's ok.
Erica: No, it's not ok. I wanted you to be Miss Young Enchantment because it's what I wanted so much when I was your age. It's what I craved.
Bianca: What did you crave, Mom?
Erica: To be a star.

Alex: So what happened here?
David: Let's just say it's not a good day.
Vanessa: David, you're not well. When I didn't see you at the hospital board cocktail party, I thought something was wrong, so I'll tell Palmer to run along. I'll be right back to you.
David: You show your face here again, I'll throw you out the window.
Vanessa: Oh! I see. One of your moods. Well, he's all yours, Alex.

Alex: Do you have a minute?
David: What?
Alex: This arrived for you today from Carlquist Pharmaceuticals.
David: Oh, yes. I was -- I was expecting this. That's the research on Libidozone they wanted me to take a look at.
Alex: Yeah. Isn't that that new medication for sexual dysfunction?
David: Mm-hmm.
Alex: Should get you a lot of publicity.
David: Why do you always think the worst of me, Alex?
Alex: Beats me.
David: Sexual dysfunction is a medical condition just like any other. Why shouldn't we try to find a cure for it for those who are suffering from it?
Alex: Because the focus of the Andrassy Foundation is to find cure for rare diseases, the kind no pharmaceutical company finds profitable or cost-effective this hardly qualifies.
David: You're right, Alex. I'll drop it.
Alex: All right, then.
David: Actually, the only reason why I was even interested in looking at the Libidozone stats was because I was curious. I mean, medical curiosity is a good thing, don't you think, Alex?
Alex: Usually.
David: You know, come to think of it, it was medical curiosity that helped me develop the treatment that saved your husband.
Alex: Good night, David.
David: Good night, Alex.

Vanessa: Uh --
David: Mother --
Vanessa: Before you throw me out the window, Darling, I have some news for you.
David: What?
Vanessa: Well, you were the talk of the cocktail party. The skirmish you had with the Martins?
David: Oh, for crying out loud!
Vanessa: Is it true you refused a poor pregnant girl admission?
David: I told her to go to County General or the free clinic. That is procedure. This hospital can't take it upon itself to treat every person that comes in without money or insurance.
Vanessa: Of course not, darling, and the barbarians are at the gate, aren't they? Well, I think you should be aware, however, that Jake Martin did deliver the poor pregnant girl's baby in a condemned cabin.
David: Damn!
Vanessa: Yes, and he's a hero again, and you're heartless.
David: Damn those Martins! To hell with them, all of them!
Vanessa: All of them? Including Dixie?

Gillian: What did David do to you?
Dixie: I ca-- I can't blame it all on him. He didn't lure me in or take advantage of me. I'm a grown woman. I know what I'm doing. I knew what I was doing.
Gillian: Dixie, what happened? I know what David is capable of, and if you let me, maybe I can help you.
Dixie: David and I began to work really long hours together, and I really enjoyed it. Saving Dimitri was thrilling. And then one day he kissed me. And I kissed him back.

Man: Do it, Edmund! Get rid of Dimitri.

Dimitri: Edmund, Edmund, you were making a mistake selling Wildwind. I didn't want you to realize it when it was too late.

Man: He always knows best, doesn't he?

Edmund: You always wanted to be a master here.
Dimitri: No, Edmund! Wildwind was the only thing that was keeping us together as a family.

Man: Oh, some family.

Edmund: You still think we can be a family, Dimitri?
Dimitri: You're my brother, and I love you. If there was some way that I could take the hate out of your eyes, I would, but I know there is nothing that I can do, Edmund, nothing, except to say that I am sorry.

Man: Don't let him get to you, Son. It's a lie! Like all the other ones your whole life!

Dimitri: I was hoping that with time, Edmund, with time --
Edmund: With time everything would be all right?
Dimitri: I'm sorry, Edmund. I'm so sorry.

Man: You let him go! Why? You should have stuffed those lies down his throat and choked the miserable life out of him! Don't deny it! Don't deny it! You want him dead, don't you? You want to stop hurting! It's time, Edmund.

Edmund: Yes, it's time. It's time to end it.

Liza: What are you doing? Is this some sort of new business venture? Ballroom dancing with incredibledreams.com's lounge lizard?
Ryan: I'm just doing research for the company, Liza.

[Music turns off]

Ryan: I need to find a way to have women reveal what they secretly dream about. So if you could have one dream fulfilled, Liza, just one, what would it be?
Liza: Oh. I'm not going to tell you.
Ryan: Why not? Why won't you tell me? What are you afraid of?
Liza: I would -- want to be on a yacht with Adam. We did that once, and it was the most romantic time. And we drifted, and -- oh, it was just like time -- why am I telling you this? If you want to know what women think, why don't you just get a focus group like everybody else?
Ryan: Oh, hold on, Liza. You're angry. Why?
Liza: Because there's no reason that you need to know my fantasies, like you could possibly -- unless you're lying and you're working for Adam.
Ryan: Liza, come on, please. Don't be so paranoid.
Liza: No, no, no, he would do it. He's in love with me, he wants me back, and you're just the kind of trick he would use. He's using you.
Ryan: No one is using me, Liza. I am my own man. I'm working on my own here.
Liza: You know, you sound like someone I used to know. Ryan Lavery, the guy who came to Pine Valley, and he was this con man and he worked alone.
Ryan: I've changed.
Liza: I know you have. And the same thing that changed you changed me -- love. You still love her, don't you? Everything that you do -- this is all about Gillian.

Gillian: Well, you see, of course it makes sense that David would come after you after Erica broke up with him. His ego needed a boost. And if you would betray your husband, that's even more satisfying to him.
Dixie: Oh, God. It's just awful that I would let it go this far. I let it.
Gillian: You know, if David would see you hurt like this, he would so love it.
Dixie: How can he be that way? I watch him in the hospital, you know. He's so kind, he's so caring to his patients. I look at his beautiful hands --
Gillian: I know! I know! I did the same thing. I would look at those hands with those beautiful long fingers and I'd think of all the miracles that he performs. But, you know, so what? Even if he's a doctor and all the good he does, it's just to try and control and to own.
Dixie: I know. I know. You're right. It's just there's so many times that we spent together. I thought there was hope for him, you know?
Gillian: Dixie, you have to stay away from David. You can't allow yourself to go near him, because if you don't do that, he's going to get to you and he'll win.

David: I'm not about to discuss Dixie Martin with you.
Vanessa: Fine. Fine. But I think if you want Dixie, you should have her. There's no denying it, Darling. I've seen the way you look at her. Oh, it's just your bad luck Dixie happens to be faithful to her husband. But, apparently, she has an affinity for troubled men, which keeps you in the running, darling. And Tad hasn't always been the family man he is today. As a matter of fact, you know, he used to be known as Tad the Cad?
David: Yeah, so I've heard.
Vanessa: Mm-hmm. According to Palmer, he cut a wide swath among the women in Pine Valley. Quite irresponsibly, too. He was wild, let his libido do all his talking for him, Dear. And along comes Dixie, redeems him with her love, and no more Tad the Cad.
David: Amazing.
Vanessa: Yes. Yes, it is. If he can be redeemed by love, so can you, darling. And if Dixie can see in you what she saw in Tad --
David: You know something, Mother?
Vanessa: Hmm?
David: That's all for now.
Vanessa: Darling, I really am just trying to help.
David: You want to help me? Get out. Bye.

David: I'm not going to lose again. Not this time. This time, Libidozone, you're going to help me win.

Man: Do it! Do it tonight. Kill Marick.
Edmund: I hate what -- what my brother's done to me. But I don't want to kill him. The person that I want to kill is you, Father.
Man: You can't kill me! I'll always be with you.
Edmund: Go away! Just get out of my head! Stop talking! S-- s--
Alex: Who do you want out of your head, Edmund?
Alex: Who were you talking to?
Edmund: Dimitri. He was just here.
Alex: No, that's not going to work with me. Edmund, you helped me through the worst time of my life. Because of you, I understood things in my past that were destroying me, and what you're going through now will destroy you.
Edmund: I don't know what to do.
Alex: Let me help you. You can't be a good father to your children when you're this angry.
Edmund: I don't want to hurt my kids. I don't ever want to frighten them.
Alex: Well, then give them back their dad.
Edmund: When you came in, I was talking to a ghost. A ghost who wants me to kill my brother.
Alex: Who is it?
Edmund: My stepfather, Alfred Gresham.

Erica: I think if I hadn't become a star, I would have spontaneously combusted.
Bianca: Do you regret anything that you had to do to become famous?
Erica: Well, whenever I'm asked that in an interview, I always say no.
Bianca: But that's not true.
Erica: I guess there were a few things I had to do that I'm not especially proud of. But I think if I ever did do anything wrong, I do think I've paid for it. And to tell you the truth, I try not to think about that, because whatever I had to do, I know that I was always honest with myself.
Bianca: Being honest with yourself, I guess that's pretty important, huh?
Erica: Oh, Honey, that's the road map for your life, because if you're honest with yourself, you always know where you are.
Bianca: So -- so that's really what you want for me, right, to be honest with myself and not just try to please you?
Erica: Yes. Yes. Yes. That's exactly what I want, Honey. And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry that I tried to push you in a direction that you didn't want to go in. It's just -- you are so beautiful and you are so intelligent. And I just thought that maybe, if you were Miss Young Enchantment, you might be able to, oh, hone some skills that don't necessarily come naturally to you.
Bianca: Like what?
Erica: It's still a male-dominated universe. And I'm afraid that in order to succeed that's it's better if a woman knows how to use her feminine assets.
Bianca: But I can't do that, Mom. That's not me.
Erica: No, I know that, I know that, and I'll never ask you to do that again.
Bianca: You know, Mom, if I could just be more like you, I think it would solve everything.
Erica: Oh, you listen to me. When I tell you how proud I am of you, those are not just words. I so proud of you. You are exactly the daughter I want.
Bianca: I just -- I never, ever want to disappoint you, Mom.
Erica: Oh, Honey. Because you don't want the spotlight on you all the time? Who cares? What does that matter? And anyhow, you know what? I bet the star gene just skips every other generation. Which means that you're going to be just like your grandmother. You're going to be very wise and very serious-minded. And when the time comes -- and I don't mean anytime soon -- when the time comes, you're going to be such a wonderful mother, because that's exactly what she was. And I guess that means that your daughter is going to be just like me. So you see? We're both going to get what we want.

Dixie: You're right. I am not going anywhere near David.
Gillian: Good. And if you ever find yourself thinking kind thoughts of him, you just call me because I will set you straight.
Dixie: I will. Thanks.
Gillian: Now just try and forget about the whole business.
Dixie: I wish I could, but I can't. I have to tell Tad about kissing David.
Gillian: No. No, Dixie. You can't tell Tad.
Dixie: I have to. I can't really just put it behind me until I do. We made this pact that we would always tell each other the truth, no matter what, because of everything that we've already been through.

Tad: Hey, guys.
Dixie: Hi!
Tad: Dinner's ready.
Dixie: Ok. Great.
Tad: What do you guys got cooking out here?

Man's voice: The researchers in the Swedish lab have named it Libidozone, after the libido. We're essentially unleashing the Id, with unpredictable results. Remember, this is uninhibited behavior demanding immediate gratification.

David: Get ready to meet your Id, Tad. Look out, Pine Valley. Here comes Tad the Cad.

Ryan: I'll tell you what -- I don't want to hear from you until you get your story straight. Because it's my money and I want to do it my way. Now, I thought you were in a hurry to get out of here.
Liza: I am, but I'm not leaving until you tell me your secret fantasy.
Ryan: Now, why would you care about my secret fantasy, Liza? You're not the one selling dreams.
Liza: Oh, I see. You can dish it out, but you can't take it. You want everybody to think you're this cyber tycoon who has ice water running through his veins.
Ryan: I don't care what you think, Liza, or what anybody thinks.
Liza: I've had my heart broken. I know what it feels like. And I am encouraging you not to shut off your le. Gillian was everything to you.
Ryan: Liza, please, stop. I am so sick of everybody assuming that I am pining over Gillian -- the sad looks, the kind words, the advice for the heartbroken. I'm not attending some never-ending funeral, here. I am not in mourning. All right? I'm not. The last thing I need right now is to be in love. It'll just get in the way.
Liza: Of what?
Ryan: Not having to answer to anybody but myself.
Liza: That's really what you want right now?
Ryan: Watch me. I'm going to live and succeed on my own terms. I'm going to make it happen.

Edmund: But why am I seeing my stepfather? I hate him. He beat me. He made me feel like a total waste, totally useless.
Alex: You could be seeing him now because you're feeling as lost as you did when you were a child.
Edmund: You know, he used to taunt me about Dimitri that I would never measure up to him, that I would always -- I would never kill Dimitri, no matter what Alf said.
Alex: Of course you wouldn't.
Edmund: We always had this connection, Dimi and me. Alex, am I going crazy? Because I don't even know what's real anymore.
Alex: Well, I asked myself the same question a few months ago. Maybe you're feeling all the losses you've had over the years. They're catching up with you, and they're hitting you full force. But I know you can work through this.
Edmund: You have more confidence in me than I do. What if Alf comes back?
Alex: Well, then you tell him that you won't give into hate and that you have many people in your life that love you. You think about them, not him.
Edmund: I do have people that love me. My kids, Peggy, Dimitri. You.

David: Wednesday, November 1, year 2000, 8:45 P.M. Stage one of the clinical trial on Libidozone, conducted by Dr. David Hayward. Subject is myself. The purpose of this trial is to determine the proper dosage required for optimal results. Initial dose is 30 cc's. Let's just see if that's enough to bring out the worst in Tad the Cad.
David: Oh. That's bitter. I've ingested the amount indicated. Now I will just wait to e if the drug takes effect.

Erica: So let's not talk about the Young Enchantment campaign ever again, ok? It's over. How about some hot chocolate with marshmallows on top?
Bianca: Ok.
Erica: You heat the milk?
Bianca: Wait, Mom -- um -- I think that it would be ok for me to be Miss Young Enchantment.
Erica: Bianca, you don't have to say that.
Bianca: I know, I know. But I really want to.
Erica: Honey, we just had such a wonderful talk. I'm so happy with that, and we reached a new understanding, and you don't have to do anything for my benefit.
Bianca: I know, Mom, but it's really -- it's not like that. It's true, I felt like you were pushing me into it before, but I don't feel that way anymore. And so, I kind of would like to give it a shot.
Erica: Are you sure? You know something, Honey? We do not have to make any kind of a decision about this now, ok? I mean, of course, it would be wonderful. You know what? I have some of the designs, some sketches of the dresses that you would wear. They're upstairs. Why don't I run upstairs and get them and you start the hot chocolate, ok? Oh, Honey, you are going to look so beautiful.

Bianca: Miss Young Enchantment.

Blanca's voice: I'll try to be the way you think I am, Mom. I'm never going you to tell the truth. I know you wouldn't hate me or disown me, but I know it would kill you if you knew what I'm really like.

Alex: You know, I'll always be here to talk to you whenever you want, but I'm thinking maybe you should see someone else.
Edmund: A shrink?
Alex: Yeah. Yeah. I've been seeing a pretty good guy over at PVH. He's helped me deal with a lot of things.
Edmund: I'll see him.
Alex: Good.
Edmund: Listen, do me a favor. Don't -- I'd appreciate it if Dimitri didn't know --
Alex: No. No, no, no. Don't even think about it.
Edmund: Ok.
Alex: I believe in you, Edmund. Don't lose faith in yourself.

Liza: Can I just say one thing before I leave?
Ryan: Yes.
Liza: I love a man who has avoided pain and heartache and invested it in power and success. And it hasn't protected him. And it's given back so very little. Please remember that.
Ryan: You can go now, Liza.
Liza: Ok.

Ryan: Adam. Ryan Lavery. Yes, she just left, and I think I got what I needed to make that dream of yours come true. Well, it's a pleasure to help out. I've always admired you, Adam, and the empire you've built. So maybe, you know, sometime we can get together, have lunch, and you can tell me how it's done.

Jake: Hey. Hey. Mom's thrilled. She says to give you a hug for her and for me to pull Grandma's quilt out of the attic and put it on our bed so --
Joe: Let's go, people. Let's go. I don't want to have to zap that macaroni again.
Gillian, I want you to choose the wine, although our stock is not quite as extensive as I think you're used to.
Jake: That's right. The Chateau Rothschild, we drank all that on the chop suey last week, right, Dad?

Tad: God, it's great to have her back.
Dixie: Yeah, she's just what Jake needs to get better.
Tad: Yeah. Let's hope she doesn't screw it up again.
Dixie: She won't. She wants to be very careful with Jake.
Tad: Is that what was going on out there? You sharing pointers on how to be the perfect wife, hmm? Is that it?
Dixie: Gillian and I were just saying how lucky we are to be part of this family.

Jake: Hey, you two.

Tad: Baby, I'm the one that's lucky.

Jake: Dad says we can start without you.

Tad: We're coming. Gosh.
Dixie: Wait, wait, wait, just a minute, just a minute, ok?
Tad: What is it?
Dixie: Um -- I need to tell you something about David. You were so right. I never should have trusted him. I never should have worked for him.
Tad: Dixie, it's ok. It's all right. Listen, we talked about that, ok? That's over. It's all right. It's ok. Relax. David's never going to hurt us ever again.

David: Initial dosage seems to have had no effect. I'm about to double the dosage.
David: 9:05 P.M. Subject takes another 30 cc's of Libidozone.

[David gasps]


ON THE NEXT - - - - ALL MY CHILDREN

Leslie: Lighten up, Ryan. Since when did you become all work?

Dimitri: What is going on between you and my brother?

Dixie: What are you doing? What do you think you're doing?
