Dixie: Bye!
Jamie: Bye! See ya!
Tad: Don't act so interested, James. Chicks dig it when you act aloof.
Jamie: What's aloof?
Dixie: A big fat jerk who can't get a date. Come on inside. Hey, watch out. Hey, you!
Junior: Hey, Mom.
Dixie: How was your first high school dance?
Junior: It was pretty cool.
Dixie: Yeah? So?
Junior: Well, I got major props from the Juniors, and even some of the Seniors, for showing up with Laura. She's a lot older, you know.
Dixie: Yeah, I know.
Tad: That's my boy.

[Opal sings]

Dixie: Who is this gorgeous maid?
Junior: Hey, Opal.
Opal: That's Madam Opalina to you, please, Bucko. All right. Who's going to be the first to get their fortune told this year?
Jamie: You promised us a story.
Opal: Oh, gee, that's right. All right, Tad, come on. Lights, lights. Let's get the lights down low here and get ready for our story.

Dixie: Your mother isn't going to scare them, is she?
Tad: Uh-uh.

Opal: Are you ready? The horseman struck without warning. He splashed his way through the hillsides, chopping off their heads.
Jamie: Whose heads?
Opal: I'll get to that. I'm getting there.
Dixie: Charming story.
Opal: Just when they least expected it, the horseman and his henchmen set out to steal the souls of their victims in the big old scary house. So they crept right up to the windows, and rap, rap, rapped on the door --

[Knock on door]

[Opal screams]

Opal: Oh!
Dixie: Oh! It's ok, it's ok. It's trick-or-treaters.
Opal: Oh, scared myself.
Jamie: Dixie --
Dixie: Yeah?
Jamie: Be careful. It might be a ghost trying to steal your soul.
Dixie: Worry? I can handle a ghost.
Tad: Looks like Jamie was right.

Gillian: Jake, it's ok. We don't -- we don't have to.
Jake: What if we want to? Gillian, let me make love to you.

Woman: I made it. Finally.
Hayley: Rosette! I can't believe it! Oh, I was wondering when you were going to come see me.
Rosette: I know. I've been in social hibernation since I moved to Pine Valley. This is my big first official step.
Hayley: Well, in that case, everything is on me.
Rosette: Cool! So do I have that "I just got divorced, be kind to me" look?
Hayley: No, Honey, you don't.
Rosette: Good. I practiced not looking desperate and forlorn in the mirror.
Hayley: Aw.
Rosette: Where's your husband?
Hayley: Oh, he went to visit his mom, so I guess he'll be back later.

Erica: Oh, that's a shame.
Hayley: Erica.
Erica: I have a business proposal for both of you.
Hayley: Oh. You're kidding.
Erica: No. Enchantment Cosmetics has a new and really vibrant ad campaign featuring the new young Enchantment couple.
Hayley: Really? That's great!
Erica: And the new Enchantment couple is Mr. Leo du Pres, the fabulous Leo du Pres, and my very own daughter, Bianca!
Hayley: Oh.
Erica: "Oh," what?
Hayley: Oh, nothing. Noth-- go on.
Erica: Well, we would really love to use your place for one of our photo shoots.
Hayley: You're kidding. Oh, that's great. Well, I've got to discuss it with Mateo, but I don't think that would be a problem at all.
Erica: Oh, I don't think so.
Hayley: I'm really surprised, though, that Bianca would want to be a model.
Erica: Well, why? Don't you think she could benefit from the spotlight just as you have?

Jack: Well, hello, you two. How are you, Hayley? You, I want to talk to you for a minute, if I could, please.
Erica: Well, Jack, I'm talking to Hayley right now.
Jack: Why, I see, but I'm sure she'll excuse us. Won't you, Hayley?
Hayley: No problemo.
Jack: Very good. Step this way, please, if you would.
Erica: What is this about, Jack?
Jack: I was about to ask you the same thing. Did you not hear a word I said the other day?
Erica: Well, you said a lot of words. What words are you talking about?
Jack: About giving Bianca enough space to be herself.
Erica: I am.
Jack: By muscling her into being Miss Young Enchantment? You know what you're doing? You're trying to force her to have the childhood you wish you had had, and if you continue to do that, you're going to ruin her, Erica.

Woman: So, I've never seen you around here. You new in town?
Bianca: Yeah, this is the first time I've ever been here.
Woman: Oh, yeah? Who brought you here?
Bianca: Rain. Do you know her?
Woman: You have an eyelash on you.

Greenlee: Erica Kane's daughter is gay.
Leo: Shut your mouth and don't jump to conclusions.
Greenlee: Please! Honey, we're not in Kansas anymore. She leaves her school dance, loaded with hormone-raging hetero teens, with her quirky little friend Rain, and comes straight -- if you'll pardon the expression -- to a gay bar and is mano-a-mano at the pop stand with a girl who likes girls. Can you say "gotcha"?
Leo: You know, for somebody who claims to be so sophisticated --
Greenlee: I'm sophisticated enough to know a roomful of lesbians when I see one.

Woman: Hey.
Greenlee: Hey!
Woman: I was wondering if you'd like to dance.
Greenlee: Um -- I -- um -- I -- I mean, I'm not --
Woman: A few glasses of chardonnay will calm your nerves.
Greenlee: I beg your pardon?
Woman: Have fun.

Leo: "I beg your pardon?"
Greenlee: Shut up, Leo.
Leo: Hey, Greenlee, don't!
Greenlee: Of all the gin joints in all of Pine Valley, Bianca, how did you ever know about this one?
Bianca: What are you doing here?
Greenlee: Leo saw you bolt your high school dance with Rain. He was worried. But if he had known you'd be so well looked after -- who's your friend?
Bianca: Rain brought me here. She didn't tell me that --
Greenlee: It was ladies' night?
Leo: Greenlee, please, can it.
Greenlee: So tell me, is this your first time?
Leo: Leave her alone.
Greenlee: Leo, I don't think Bianca wants to be left alone at all. Am I right?

Erica: You are guilty of that Jack, not me.
Jack: Meaning what?
Erica: Meaning that you and Travis never had the best relationship, and maybe you have become over involved in your niece's life because somehow you're trying to make something up to Travis.
Jack: Well, what do you know, Erica Kane? I think maybe you're actually right about something.
Erica: Oh, really? Just about one thing?
Jack: I think maybe just about this for sure. I think maybe I am more involved in this than I would be if my brother was still alive. But I'm not backing off from what I said about you with regards to Bianca. You know, what you want and what she wants are two completely different things.
Erica: Bianca has a self-esteem problem, ok? She really needs to build confidence. And I think that this campaign, this being Miss Young Enchantment, will help her gain that confidence. And FYI-- I didn't hold a gun to Blanca's head to get her to agree to do this. She wants to be Miss Young Enchantment.
Jack: Oh. She said that?
Erica: She agreed!
Jack: But you think maybe she just did that to please you?
Erica: The way she behaves with me? No, I don't think so.
Jack: Good point.
Erica: And besides, Jack, she's going to get to spend endless hours with Leo du Pres. She has a wicked crush on him.
Jack: Wait a minute. I thought they were just pals.
Erica: Yeah, they are. He's too old for her and he's been warned about that.
Jack: What?
Erica: I'm on top of this, Jack.
Jack: You better be.
Jack: Dance with me.
Erica: Now?
Jack: Yes. Just come on and dance with me. We always dance better than we talk. I'd like to table this discussion. Just have a dance with my old friend.
Erica: Hey.
Jack: Yes.
Erica: I'm a bit more than that.
Jack: Yes, indeed, you are.

Woman: Well, it was really nice to meet you.

Bianca: Listen -- I had no idea that Rain was bringing me to a gay bar.
Greenlee: Just chill out, Bianca, ok? This isn't a raid. But you are busted. At least with us.
Leo: Greenlee, I swear to God -- how did you get in here?
Bianca: We had fake ID's. Listen, I know it was a dumb thing to do --
Greenlee: You know, I used to be better at this, quicker on the uptake.
Leo: Greenlee, shut up!
Greenlee: Guess my Gaydar is on the fritz. But I knew you were different from day one. I actually wondered if you were adopted, you're so not like your mother.
Bianca: You're not going to tell her, are you? I mean, about my being in a bar?
Greenlee: Aw, Cookie. I don't think the underage thing is an issue here, do you?
Leo: Ok, that's it. You're out of here.
Greenlee: Since when?
Leo: Since now. Go to the SOS and wait for me there. I'm taking Bianca home, and you're not coming with. Am I clear?
Greenlee: All right. But don't take too long. I want a full report.
Leo: Go!
Greenlee: Bye, Bianca. Bye, girls.

Bianca: Why did you have to bring her here?
Leo: I didn't. She followed me.
Bianca: Leo, is she --
Leo: She's not going to tell anybody. She's not going to tell anybody. I promise you, Bianca. Look, I'm sorry that she got in your face like that. Are you ok?
Rain: Hey, I'm sorry I left you alone for so long. Anything I should know about?
Bianca: Listen, Rain, I -- I'm really tired, and Leo is going to take me home.
Rain: Are you sure? It's still early.
Bianca: Yeah, I'm sure. I'll catch you later.

Jake: I've been focusing on all the things that I can't do, and I'm leaving out all the things that I can.
Jake: Gillian, I can't make love to you in the ways that we used to, but I can hold you, I can kiss you, I can whisper to you, and I can show you how much I love you, because I can feel. I promise you, I can feel, Gillian.

David: This is -- it's for your boys. I carved it myself.
Junior: Did you cut your hand while you were carving it?
David: No, Junior, I didn't.
Tad: I can finish the job now for you, if you like.
Dixie: Tad --

Opal: Ok, boys, I think there are some caramel apples in the kitchen just with your names right on them. Let's go hunt them down, huh?

Dixie: You really shouldn't have come over here.
David: I just wanted to apologize to you, Dixie. And I wanted you to know --
Dixie: It doesn't matter. You apologized, and I don't care.
Tad: So I'd say it gives you about 10 seconds to get off my property, David.
David: Haven't you ever done anything that you regret, Dixie, something that you wish you could take back but you can't?
Tad: Get out of my house.
Dixie: No, it's all right, it's all right.
Dixie: Just -- just let me handle this, Tad, please. Come on.
Tad: Five minutes. Five minutes. That's all. I'm going to change.

David: I like your costume.
Dixie: Oh, don't small-talk me, please.
David: This rift between us is crazy. I just want to make it up to you, Dixie.
Dixie: I'm not the person you should be saying that to.
David: Fine. I'll apologize to Jake, if that's what it is going to take for you to give me a break, here.
Dixie: I've already given you more breaks than anybody ever has in your entire life. And you thank me for that by just saying whatever you want, whenever you want, regardless of the consequences. Don't you realize that you can't live your life that way?
David: What way? Passionately? With conviction?
Dixie: You cannot just say whatever you want without thinking how it's going to land for somebody else. Ok, I'm sorry. Jake hurt you. And you hurt him back, 10 times over. Do you know how scary that is?
David: I didn't mean to scare you, Dixie. That's what this is all about, isn't it? You know what I'm talking about.
Dixie: No, I don't.
David: You didn't quit your job because of what I did to Jake. You're using that as an excuse to get away from me because I kissed you and to pay me back for wanting you.

Hayley: Let me see if I have this straight. My father wants your company to help him get back with Liza the way they used to be? Is that right?
Ryan: It's Adam's incredible dream.
Hayley: More like Adam's incredible pipe dream.
Ryan: You underestimate me, Hayley.
Hayley: It's not you! It's just this whole thing with Arlene and -- never mind. Never mind. On to something else. Tell me about you.
Ryan: I'm getting by.
Hayley: I'm sorry, Ryan.
Ryan: Look, Hayley, you can't live life without making mistakes, and I made a big one with Gillian. It's done. It's over. You got to move on. That's it.

[Telephone rings]

Ryan: I got to take this. I got to take this.
Hayley: Ok.

Ryan: Hello.
Hayley: Hey. How about a refill?
Rosette: Question --
Hayley: Nice guy, lots of baggage.
Rosette: Hmm. Really?
Hayley: I love Ryan. I would love to introduce you to Ryan. However, with your divorce and his messy, awful breakup with a woman that he claims he's over, I just don't think that Ryan is on the market for a serious long-term relationship.

Ryan: Ain't that the truth? Ryan Lavery. No strings attached.

Bianca: Why did you want to stop here?
Leo: It's a beautiful night. I thought you might want some air before we go home.
Bianca: And face my mother?
Leo: Bianca, I'm not going to tell your mother where you were or how you got there, ok? Don't worry about that.
Bianca: I'm not worried about you.
Leo: Greenlee's not going to say anything, either. I swear it.
Bianca: I just -- I just had to get away from that dance, Leo. I overheard Shann and Heather and Mindy talking about me. And then Rain showed up. And she told me that she knew a place where I would feel much better. I swear I had no clue that we were going to a bar, and once we were there --
Leo: You did feel much better.
Bianca: I just -- I wish you hadn't followed me tonight, Leo.
Leo: Because you'd still have your secret. Bianca, you're my friend, and I look out for you because of it. I just want you to be sure that you know what you're saying here.
Bianca: But you have noticed, right?
Leo: Noticed what?
Bianca: How I don't flirt with you.
Leo: So?
Bianca: Come on, Leo. You're gorgeous. Girls fall all over you. It never struck you as odd that I didn't?
Leo: But what -- Bianca, this doesn't sound like you at all.
Bianca: And you think you know me pretty well, right?
Leo: I thought so.
Bianca: How could I be so stupid? I totally set myself up.
Leo: For what?
Bianca: Leo, Greenlee saw me. What am I going to do if she tells everyone that I'm gay?
Bianca: I never said that out loud before, ever.
Leo: Bianca, it's --
Bianca: I'm gay, Leo. I'm gay.
Leo: Look, you got dissed at a party by a bunch of losers, and then a friend picked you up and snuck you into a gay bar on Halloween night. That doesn't mean anything. That doesn't mean that you're --
Bianca: Listen, Leo, it's not a phase that I'm going through. Do I make myself clear? This didn't just happen tonight.
Leo: Ok. Ok, listen --
Bianca: And I'm not going to grow out of it, ok?
Leo: How do you know that? You're 16 years old. I knew a lot of girls who messed around with each other when they were 16, you know, like, kissing each other and stuff. That doesn't mean --
Bianca: Leo! Leo!
Leo: What? Bianca: I knew girls like that, too, and I'm not like them. I'm not going to -- I'm not going to mess around with girls and then turn around and date boys, ok?
Leo: Ok, I just -- I just want you to be sure that you know what you're saying.
Bianca: When you were 16, did you know that you liked girls?
Leo: Yeah. I actually knew a lot sooner than that. So you -- you know? You feel it?
Bianca: You never thought for a minute that what you were feeling was something you would get through, did you?
Leo: No.
Bianca: It's no different for me. When I realized what I was feeling, I kind of couldn't believe it, you know? But I couldn't pretend it wasn't there. At first, I tried to tell myself, "stop it," you know? "Don't feel that way." You ever try to tell yourself not to feel something? You can't. It just doesn't work because you can't decide how you feel. This is the way I feel, Leo. And it's the way I'm always going to feel because it's who I am.

Ryan: Ok, so you got this divorce from he-who-shall-remain-nameless in LA.
Rosette: Finalized one week ago.
Ryan: Really?
Rosette: Hmm.
Ryan: Well, here is to community property.
Rosette: I'll drink to that.
Ryan: So will I.
Rosette: Look, Ryan, I want to be honest with you. My life has been one big complication for a long time. I'm putting in 60-hour work weeks at the studio, I'm --
Ryan: Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, slow down. Rosette, let me ask you something. Do I look complicated?
Rosette: Not a bit. I'll be back. Will you wait for me?
Ryan: Not forever.
Rosette: Oh, my kind of guy.

Greenlee: What's your new victim's name?
Ryan: Nice getup, Greenlee. Let me ask you something. Can you nod your head and disappear?
Greenlee: Funny. I love Halloween. It's the one night a year I can pretend to be someone else, unlike you.
Ryan: I don't do dress-up.
Greenlee: I mean, you pretend to be someone you're not every day, so this is no biggie for you, this Halloween thing.

Erica: You know, Greenlee Smythe is an accident waiting to happen. She's been dangling Leo far too long for my liking. Now would be good time to tell her how I feel.
Jack: Absolutely.

Woman: My, my, my. Erica and woman: Look who's here!

Gillian: You are the most incredible man, Jake.
Jake: I just wanted you to know how much I love you.
Gillian: I feel that all the time.
Jake: I'm not giving up. These treatments I'm looking into are going to help me sooner than later.
Gillian: I really want that for you. But I want you to know that I feel totally loved for and cared for. How can I not after -- I'm blushing. I'm completely blushing now.
Jake: Hey.
Gillian: Hmm?
Jake: Hey, there. Kiss me.
Dixie: Oh, I quit to punish you? How arrogant can you possibly be?
David: Well, maybe you're trying to punish yourself.
Dixie: What?
David: When I kissed you, Dixie, you didn't pull back. I know what I felt. So maybe you're punishing yourself because you felt exactly what I did and you're trying to end the relationship.
Dixie: We don't have a relationship.
David: We had a friendship --
Dixie: And you crossed the line!
David: All right, fine. That's it. So you admit it. You quit your job to freeze me out. It had nothing to do with Jake and everything to do with us.
Dixie: There is no us. There never was an us, and there never will be an us.
David: And what if you weren't married to Tad?
Dixie: Oh, for crying out loud!
David: No, no, come on, answer me. If there was nothing holding you back?
Dixie: I can't give you what you want, David. Is that clear?
Tad: Not to me.
Dixie: David was just asking me to come back to work for him, but I'm not going to.
Tad: I don't know what I walked in on just now, but I know I don't like it. So now it's my turn to make a decision. You get out of my house before I throw you out.

Dixie: What? What are you thinking?
Tad: I'm thinking I've had a lot of jobs in my time, but I've never looked at my boss, Ex or otherwise, the way you were looking at him when I walked in this room just now. So you want to tell me what the hell's going on?

Bianca: So I was in rehab for anorexia, right? That was, like, a whole different story. But a few weeks after I got there, I met a girl who was in for the same thing.
Leo: An eating disorder?
Bianca: Yeah. Sarah. She was from Boston. Her parents had been divorced forever, just like mine. And she was, like -- she wasn't like anybody that I had ever met before. We totally connected right from the start. We were inseparable, and we talked nonstop, I mean, all the time, and we were best friends. Only it was more than that, and we both knew it. It wasn't long before stuff happened between us.
Leo: Were you scared?
Bianca: Yeah. God, yeah, terrified. Of a thousand things. But in the end, none of it mattered because we were together. It felt scary and perfect all at the same time. Anyway, there was, like, this written rule between us. Nobody knew. We couldn't tell our therapists at rehab, our other friends, our roommates. I mean, it was just us.
Leo: Don't ask, don't tell, right?
Bianca: Yeah. I guess. And we were great at hiding it. Nobody ever suspected a thing. I mean, I hated lying about who I was, but I figured that if I didn't, I would lose her, so that was that.
Leo: So, what happened to Sarah?
Bianca: She was scheduled to be released three weeks before me. And we promised each other that nothing would change. The morning that she left, I gave her a box of stationery with the envelopes all stamped and preaddressed to me, and she took it and she told me not to worry, so I didn't. She wrote me two letters and a couple of really nothing e-mails. I knew something was wrong, so I called her. And she told me that the night before, she had written me a letter that would explain everything. Really, I thought I would die waiting for that letter. And when it finally came, she said it was a mistake.
Leo: What was?
Bianca: Us. She said, "I'm not like that." She said that she didn't want to be gay, so she wasn't gay.
Leo: What about you, Bianca? Do you want to be gay?

Woman: Well, my goodness. How did we let this one get away?
Erica: Oh. Too high maintenance.
Jack: Oh, listen to Miss Pot call the kettle black over there.
Erica: Listen, ask me to dance, will you?
Jack: Would you like to dance?
Erica: I mean, the other me. Just keep busy, ok? I've got to go rub that genie the wrong way.
Jack: Would you care to dance?
Woman: Oh, of course.

Erica: Genie --
Greenlee: I like your twin's getup, don't you?
Erica: I won't mince words.
Greenlee: Goody.
Erica: Leo is about to become a very famous and a very busy model.
Greenlee: Too funny, by the way. Go on.
Erica: Bianca and Leo need to devote all their focus to my campaign. They need to present the right image to the American public. They need to be perceived by the American public as a couple.
Greenlee: Oh. Really? And what does this have to do with me?
Erica: You are to stay away from Leo, completely, effective immediately.

Jake: I should get you home.
Gillian: I don't want this night to end.
Jake: Neither do I. Gillian, I don't want anything between us to be forced. And I want you to take your time and stay at Wildwind, whatever you want to do. God, I love you, and I want you to come home with me.
Gillian: Then I will, Jake, because I love you, too.

Dixie: Honey, come on. You know what David is like. He just won't take no for an answer. I was his assistant and now I quit and he doesn't have anybody to run his life, so he's panicking. Come on, it's nothing. Let's just go inside the kitchen and hang out with Opal and the boys and keep them from eating all the candy in the house.
Tad: I don't think we're done in here, yet. I cannot believe that you allowed him in this house, especially after what he did to Jake.
Dixie: He said that he wanted forgiveness, ok? He said he was sorry.
Tad: Yeah, I know. I heard him. You told me he apologized. You also told me you didn't care. Yet you agreed to talk to him. Why?
Dixie: He's my boss.
Tad: No. No, he's not. He was your boss. So what's the secret? What is the hold that Hayward has over you? Because whatever it is, I want to know about it.

Bianca: Do I want to be gay? I don't know how to answer that, Leo. I am gay. I know that I don't want to be judged by people who don't understand me. I don't want to be labeled. But I can't do anything about it. It's like asking, do you want to be a guy? I didn't choose to be gay any more than you chose to be straight. I'm not blind or deaf. I know what's out there. I know what people say. Talk show hosts call people like me unnatural. All I know is what I am. And it doesn't feel unnatural. The only unnatural thing is the way -- the way people will react to me.
Leo: Well, I guess you don't have to tell anybody. It's private, right? It's nobody else's business.
Bianca: Leo, I said no to a date with the captain of the soccer team. I mean, how long -- how long do you think it's going to take people to figure me out, Leo? I don't want to hide who I am. But I'm Erica Kane's daughter. And how am I going to tell my mother, of all people, that I'm gay?

Greenlee: Let me get this straight, so to speak. Ahem. You want me to stay away from Leo so this sham young Enchantment couple thingy looks real?
Erica: I won't stand by and watch you sabotage it, Greenlee.
Greenlee: You don't know the first thing about Bianca, do you? You have no idea who she really is.
Erica: You do?
Greenlee: Oh, yeah. You bet I do.
Erica: Well, then, Greenlee, enlighten me. Tell me everything I don't know about my own daughter.


ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN

Bianca: If my mom finds out that I'm gay, she's not going to love me anymore.

Jack: If you have something to say, why don't you just come out and say it?

Tad: Are you sending Hayward some kind of mixed signals?

Hayley: Oh! Who's there?
