ALL MY CHILDREN

OCTOBER 12, 1999



Erica: Explain the quarantine signs in the hallway.
David: You're under medical house arrest.
Erica: I'm not sick.
David: Well, the management has reason to believe that you've come down with a case of the Galloping Gabloots.
Erica: The galloping what?
David: Gabloots. It's a disease that was popularized during the golden age of TV comedy. Apparently it's highly contagious.
Erica: Is this your idea of a joke?
David: Well, they say laughter is the best medicine, but I'm deadly serious.
Erica: No, you're just dead, period. I'm having you disposed of. Where's the telephone?
David: I had it removed as a precaution. Mr. Bell's invention is a hotbed for germs, disease.
Erica: You think you're so smart.
David: I also took the liberty of having your cell phone sanitized. You'll get it back when the quarantine is lifted.
Erica: How dare you! How dare you go in my things! I hate you! My date hates you!
David: Alberto? Nah. He'll be able to scalp those opera seats for twice what he paid for them.
Erica: David, why are you doing this?
David: You walked out on me. No one walks out on me.
Erica: Oh, I see. So this is my punishment for leaving Pine Valley without telling you. This is you teaching me a lesson. This is you holding me prisoner.
David: Like you held me captive in your basement.
Erica: When I locked you in my basement, I was trying to get you to understand how it really feels to lose something that is a vital part of yourself, that is something irreplaceable, that is your reason for being. This little quarantine stunt --this has --you're really upset.

Trevor: Last call before the barbecue goes into hibernation for the winter.
Amanda: Oh, no, I'm stuffed.
Girl: Me, too.
Trevor: What's with the feet in the air?
Janet: They're shaking down their food.
Trevor: What?
Janet: It's a girl thing. So, what's next? Are we going to watch a video? Are we going do some beauty makeovers? Play dress-up?
Amanda: Mom, we can't do anything till Scott gets here with the camera.
Janet: Ok.
Girl: Who's Scott?
Janet: We'll just wait for Scott.
Amanda: He's really, really cute. And he's doing a video of my slumber party so we can send it to Tim in Paris. It's like a videogram.

[Doorbell rings]

Janet: Hey --
Amanda: Girls, it's showtime.
Scott: Amazing Amanda, you ready to par-tay?
Amanda: Yep.
Hayley: Ta-da!
Ryan: Hey, hey!
Hayley: Hello!
Ryan: Hello!
Amanda: Hurry. I want you to meet everybody.
Hayley: Ok.
Amanda: This is Sarah, Molly, and Katy.
Katy: Spelled with a y.
Hayley: Well, hello, Katy with a y. I'm Amanda's cousin Hayley with an e-y. And the man behind the lens is Scott with two T's, and that's Ryan. He's just here to cause trouble.
Ryan: How you doing, ladies?

[Girls giggle]

Hayley: Hello, Dillon clan.
Janet: Hi.
Trevor: Hey, how are you? How are you?
Janet: Hotdogs anyone?
Hayley: Oh, no thanks. All right, girlfriends, have I got a big, big, giant surprise for you. Ryan, make with the muscles. You're going to like this. Great idea.
Sarah: What's in there?
Molly: Maybe it's a stripper.
Girls: Eew!

[Laughter]

Hayley: No. Actually, Erica Kane sent over some Enchantment cosmetics samples for us. And I was able to harangue Myrtle Fargate into giving me a bunch of junior miss dresses that she was about to donate to charity. So -- hold on to your socks. We're going to walk the catwalk. We're going to have a mini fashion show.
Sarah: Oh, my gosh!
Trevor: Ooh!
Janet: Whoa, let's not start a riot here. One at a time.
Sarah: This is going to be so great.

Ryan: You know what I want, right?
Scott: Hayley on tape, up close and personal. Yep.
Ryan: But you got to make it seem like you're focusing on the kids so she doesn't get all self-conscious.
Scott: It's ok, I'll be super subtle.
Ryan: All right. And then you can edit the tape at the station, and I'll have the tape for Liza for her new show she's putting together.
Scott: You really think Hayley's got the stuff to be a veejay?
Ryan: You kidding me? Look at her. She's a natural. Only she doesn't know it yet.

Sarah: Oh, my gosh, it's so cool. You should so totally wear that.

Liza: Yeah, you really had me snowed. Here I was praising you for playing by the rules, having respect for Dixie while sharing custody of Junior.
Adam: Yes, and how were my efforts repaid? I get to visit my son once every alternate Thursday. Damn it, Liza, I love that boy.
Liza: Don't explain the heinous things that you've done because "Oh, it was love." Adam, your son ran away from home.
Adam: Why? Because I happened to suggest that he might benefit from attending the best school in the country?
Liza: Adam, you were going to rip him away from his school, from his family and his friends, and ship him off to some boarding school where he doesn't know a soul.
Adam: Just like every other kid who ever started into boarding school. He would make friends.
Liza: He has friends here. And don't give me any bull about broadening his horizons or academic excellence. You just don't want Junior around Tad.
Adam: That's not true.
Liza: Don't even think so little of me that you want me to believe that lie. You don't want Junior under Tad's influence. And if anything happens to that child, you have only yourself to blame.

Jake: Gillian's great, isn't she?
Gillian: You know, we had the most amazing homemade ice cream back home.
Jake: Oh, really?
Gillian: They made it with Bavarian cream.
Jake: Mmm.
Gillian: Mm-hmm. No way. You finish yours already?
Jake: All done. Us Martins have a sweet tooth. Your Uncle Tad used to put candy bars on his breakfast cereal. He was weird, too. Yeah? Oh, no jokes. No jokes tonight. Her carriage is going to turn into a pumpkin.
Gillian: Oh.
Jake: Yeah.
Gillian: You have to take her home already?
Jake: Yeah, believe me, handing her over to Adam is not the cherry on top of my sundae.
Gillian: Don't badmouth Adam in front of your daughter.
Jake: That's right. She'll find out about her evil stepfather soon enough. But don't you worry. I'll be there to protect you. All right? Hmm?
Gillian: Oh, look, there's Brooke and Jamie.
Jake: Oh, Colby loves Jamie. Don't you? You want -- oh, maybe --
Gillian: Oh.
Jake: I think you do. You want to go say hi? Here.
Gillian: Looky here.

Waiter: Hi. My name's Marlon. Are you guys ready to order?
Brooke: Jamie?
Jamie: I'll have a double cheeseburger with the works, extra large fries, and a large onion rings, and an extra large chocolate shake.
Brooke: Are you sure you can eat all that?
Jamie: We could always bag the leftovers.
Brooke: You must be going through another growth spurt, huh? I'm just going to have the chicken caesar salad and a diet cola.
Marlon: Mm-hmm.
Brooke: Thanks.
Jamie: And if you could make it a rush. We're kind of in a hurry.
Marlon: No problem.
Brooke: "We're kind of in a hurry"? Since when are we watching the clock? Oh, don't tell me. It's another episode of "Gross Me Out." A new one is on the tube, right?
Jamie: No. I'm just kind of tired. I feel like hitting the sack early tonight.
Brooke: You don't have a fever, do you? Are you ok? Do you feel all right?
Hi. Tad, Dixie, what's wrong?
Tad: Junior's run away.
Brooke: Oh, my God.
Dixie: Yeah, we've been trying to track you down. Phoebe said that you might be here, so --
Tad: Jamie, this is very important. Do you have any idea where Junior is?
Jake: Any idea why Junior might have run away?
Dixie: There was a miscommunication between Junior and Adam.
Jake: Oh, imagine that -- Adam. I should have known.

Tad: Jamie, do you know where Junior is?

[Colby fusses]

Jamie: Uh-uh.
Brooke: Are you sure, honey? You're not going to get in trouble.
Tad: Did Junior say anything about Adam wanting to send him away to a boarding school?
Jamie: No.
Dixie: Did Junior seem upset or worried at all today?
Jamie: No.
Brooke: How long has Junior been missing?
Tad: Since after lunch. He was supposed to go to soccer practice.
Jake: You call the police?
Tad: Yeah. Derek's already got every available badge out there looking for him.
Dixie: Yeah and Becca's at home just in case Jjunior calls.
Brooke: What's this about a miscommunication and Adam wanting to send Junior away to boarding school?
Dixie: I don't know. Adam just sent -- you know, got this all organized without consulting me at all.
Jake: This is exactly what I'm talking about with Colby. Does Liza know?
Tad: Yeah. She was there when I gave him a piece of my mind.
Jake: Well, now it's my turn. You going to be ok here? I'm going to stop by Adam's and talk to him. I'll be right back and get you.
Gillian: I'm fine. You just go.
Jake: Ok?
Gillian: Go.
Jake: Junior is a smart kid. He's smart enough to get away from Adam. Everything's going to be ok.

Marlon: Excuse me, folks.
Brooke: Oh.
Jamie: Um -- you know what? I'm not very hungry anymore.
Brooke: It's ok. Listen, would you mind very much? Could we just pack this up and get it ready to go? Sorry about that.
Marlon: Sure.
Brooke: Listen. I don't want you to worry, all right? We'll find your brother. It'll be ok.
Gillian: You know, I used to hide from my nanny all the time. He's probably somewhere safe. Probably found himself a terrific hiding place. But he'll come back. He'll come back when he's hungry.
Brooke: Tad, Dixie, is there anything that I can do?
Tad: Yeah. You could help us look.
Brooke: Ok.
Jamie: No. No, she can't. Mom has to take me home right away.
Tad: Why? Why are you in such a hurry to get home?

Liza: Thanks, Eli. I appreciate it.
Adam: Tad's already called the police. Derek's put out an APB.
Liza: Well, the station's going to run a picture of Junior every hour on the half hour.
Adam: Thank you.
Liza: No. I do not want to comfort you. I am angry at you.
Adam: I'm going to look for the boy.
Liza: No, you are going to do no such thing. Dixie told you to stay right here. You've done enough harm as it is.
Adam: Liza, I -- I -- I tried to do what I thought was best for Junior.
Liza: Adam, Junior is a fine young man with a mind of his own. Don't you think he has a right to make some of these decisions in his own life?
Adam: I won't have my son raised as if my feelings don't count.
Liza: You don't own him! He didn't want to leave his family. He didn't want to leave Tad.
Adam: Tad? Tad's his playmate. The boy needs a father. He needs someone who can see past the next 24 hours and maybe give him some decisions, help him make decisions that will impact the rest of his life. And I will not relinquish my son to Tad Martin. He's an idiot! He's a glib, self-righteous --
Liza: Adam, your son is missing. And none of these little rationalizations that you're throwing out there are going to do anything to make me believe that you're not perpetuating this stupid, competitive war with the Martins.
Adam: You may think it's stupid, but I know when I'm being attacked. And I, not Tad Martin, will decide what's best for my son.
Liza: You gave your son away. I wouldn't expect him back.

David: I already told you why I did this. I don't like being dismissed by anyone.
Erica: "Dismissed"? All I did was leave Pine Valley without telling you.
David: Oh, come on, Erica. You've always told me when you were going to be leaving town, how you can be reached, how long you were going to be gone. This time you left without a trace. You did it to punish me.
Erica: My life is so hectic that my plans change at the last minute. You know that. My goodness, my friend Alberto called me from Milan. I --
David: All right, stop it, Erica. Just stop it.
Erica: Stop what?
David: Stop trying to make me jealous.
Erica: Oh, please. I thought you and I were above that. I'm free to see other men. You're free to debase yourself with the ferret-faced Miss Coulson if you choose. You and I enjoy our -- our whatever it is without strings. No messy feelings to clean up afterwards.
David: Well, maybe those were the ground rules in the beginning.
Erica: Have they changed? Did someone rewrite them when I was out of town?
David: There are no hard and fast rules here.
Erica: All right, then I'll ask you again, David. Why are you doing this? Did you contrive this quarantine because I had the nerve to leave Pine Valley without asking your permission? Did I bruise the already over-inflated ego of Dr. David Hayward?
David: You know why I'm doing this.
Erica: David, there -- there are words for what you're feeling, words spoken by poets, kings. Why can't you say them? I think you want to but you can't. Your throat tightens, and your pulse races, and your heart feels like it's going to just explode out of your chest. And you'd rather die than say those words. Well, you won't die. Caring for me won't kill you.
Erica: David? Did I presume too much? If you -- you don't care about me --
David: Oh, come on. You know I care.
Erica: And you're scared. Don't you think I'm scared, too?
David: You have absolutely no reason to be.
Erica: You think I have no reason to be scared or anxious? David, I told you the first time that we were together that I -- I had never given myself to a man that I didn't love. Making love for me was making love. Recreational sex -- what was that?
David: Do you feel used?
Erica: No. I -- I guess I was at a point in my life -- I -- I have heard about people who have had a near-death experience and the near-death experience frees them somehow. My accident liberated me, and in very surprising ways. And I wasn't afraid to take a chance anymore. I needed to take those chances. I wanted to. I wanted to challenge myself, and I wanted to see what my limits were, and I wanted to experiment.
David: So I was an experiment.
Erica: David, I felt like I was risking everything to be with you. And I knew that you were risking things, too. I think that both of us were risking our safety. We were leaving our safety for the promise of something that we had both been missing. And I haven't felt that way about a man --
David: Oh, oh, so help me, Erica, if you say Dimitri's name one more time, I'm going to take this chair and I'm going to bust it into a thousand pieces.

Trevor: Let's go with the floor show!
Janet: Behave.
Trevor: I am behaving.
Hayley: Are you ready up there, my supermodel wannabes?

[Girls giggle]

Amanda: We're ready.
Ryan: All right. Action. Or roll tape.
Hayley: Oh. Ahem. Hey, Timman, we're coming at you live from the house of Dillon, where four -- count 'em, four -- mini mannequins are going to strut their stuff down the runway, showing off this year's latest trends in clothes and makeup. So if you've got a passion for fashion, a flair for hair, get ready to rock and roll. Hit it, pork man!
Trevor: I'm going.

[Music plays]

Hayley: Our first model is Molly.
Trevor and Janet: Yay!
Trevor: Molly!
Hayley: Molly is a dream in this blue taffeta number that's perfect for the perfect birthday party or a night out on the town with mom and dad. Molly's lipstick is cotton candy pink, but her attitude is sass and brass. Thank you, Molly.
Trevor: Whoo!
Janet: Yay, Molly.
Hayley: Come on down, Amanda Dillon!
Janet: Oh, there she is.
Hayley: It's prom night at Pine Street Elementary, and Amanda's a vision in this classic ensemble. Whether she's hip-hopping on the dance floor or sipping punch with the ladies, Amanda's bound to feel like a queen.
Trevor: Yeah.
Hayley: Little girls, sugar and spice and everything nice? Forget about it.
Trevor: Ooh.

Brooke: Honey, is all this talk about Junior scaring you?
Gillian: It's probably just that you'd feel a lot safer back home, right? You know, I used to have a toy. It was a stuffed tiger. His me was rags, and he would sit at the end of my bed and watch over me and made me feel really safe. Do you have a toy like that?
Jamie: A bear.
Gillian: Yeah? What's his name?
Jamie: Mugsy.
Gillian: Mugsy. Do you think you'll feel better at home now with Mugsy?
Brooke: You know, I think that would be a good idea.
Jamie: No, really, I'm fine. I mean, it's not like I'm some dumb little kid or something.
Tad: Nobody thinks you're dumb. You've got every right to be scared.
Jamie: No, really, I'm fine. You know what? Mom should go help you look for Junior.
Brooke: I just don't want to keep you up late on a school night. That's all, sweetie.
Jamie: Well, I could go to Wildwind with Gillian and hang out with Sam and Maddie.
Dixie: I thought -- I thought you wanted to go home?
Jamie: Well, what can I tell you? I'm a crazy kid. I changed my mind. Can I go with Gillian?
Brooke: Ah, actually, I -- I think that's up to Gillian.
Gillian: No, I think that that's a great idea.
Tad: Are you sure?
Gillian: Yeah.
Tad: He can be a real handful.
Gillian: No. No, that's fine. I just don't have a car.
Brooke: I can drop you off. And then I'll drop by Trevor's and see if Junior hooked up with Amanda.
Tad: Good.
Dixie: Ok.
Gillian: I'm just going to go call Jake and tell him not to pick me up.
Brooke: All right.
Jamie: I'll wait by the door.
Brooke: Ok, sweetie.
Tad: Don't go outside.

Jamie: Excuse me. Do you have my doggie bag?
Marlon: Oh. Double cheeseburger, large fries, large onion rings, and an extra large chocolate shake. Lucky pooch.
Jamie: Lucky Junior. He must be starved by now.

Dixie: I'm sorry, Brooke. I didn't mean to scare Jamie.
Brooke: No, no. It's ok, really. And actually, I think he's better off, you know, with Sam and Maddie for a while.
Gillian: I'm ready.
Brooke: Oh, Gillian, I really appreciate this.
Gillian: Oh, no need to thank me. We'll have a ball.
Brooke: All right. You guys, I'll call you --
Dixie: Yeah, please.
Brooke: If I hear anything I will.
Dixie: Do call even if you don't, all right?
Brooke: Ok.
Dixie: Thanks.
Gillian: Bye. Are you ready?
Tad: Honey, try not to worry, ok? We're going to find him. I promise you. I mean, he did leave a note. It's not like he was abducted by aliens.
Dixie: Where could he be?
Tad: Did he take his wallet with him?
Dixie: Yes, he did. He did. As a matter of fact, he has the 10 bucks that we gave him for cleaning out the garage.
Tad: Ok, why don't we go check out the malls? He might be at the food court or in the movies --
Dixie: That's a good idea. Let's go.

Liza: You are so jealous of Tad and the love that Junior has for him, you would send that boy to the moon if you knew that it would keep them apart. You surely didn't think twice about lying to me.
Adam: When did I lie to you?
Liza: Today. This impromptu family outing to New Hampshire. Did you think that I would honestly not notice that the boy wasn't in the car? We just dropped him off at Winchester Prep?
Adam: I wasn't going to just drop him off --
Liza: What were you going to do? What were you going to tell me? "Oh, I guess we must have left him at the last rest stop."
Adam: Oh, all right, all right. I confess, I was -- I thought we'd stop by to just see the school. It's a beautiful facility.
Liza: When were you going to tell me the truth? When were you going to discuss this with Dixie after what you'd done? Did you think I wouldn't be horrified? I mean, just -- oh, I just can't even look at you!

[Doorbell rings]

Liza: This makes me so mad.
Adam: Winifred!
Liza: Yeah, yell at Winifred. That'll --
Adam: Could we get some help that helps!
Jake: Is Liza here? I want to see her.
Adam: Don't keep my daughter out in the cold --
Jake: Where is she?
Liza: Jake, is that you?
Jake: Tad told me about Junior. Any news?
Liza: No. He promised to call when he found him.
Adam: It's past Colby's bedtime. Let me take her upstairs --
Jake: You seem to be at a loss for parenting skills, Adam.
Adam: My credentials are not open to your scrutiny.
Jake: Oh, what, because you've done such a bang-up job with Junior?
Adam: Junior is none of your concern.
Jake: But Colby is my concern. She is my daughter. Exposure to you will not be good for my child.
Adam: Jake, I think it's time for you to leave.
Jake: You know what? I guarantee you when she grows up she's not going to feel the need to run away from me.
Adam: Are you going to let him talk to me that way? Get out of my house, Jake.
Jake: Oh, I'll leave. But I'm taking Colby with me.

Brooke: So, Tad and Dixie found a note that Junior left. Nobody has a clue where he might be. And I thought, you know, Amanda saw him last night. Maybe she has some idea where we could find him.
Trevor: Yeah, sure. Ryan, Scott, could you take the girls in and have them start on those sundaes?
Ryan: Sure.
Katy: Oh, my God, yeah!
Trevor: Amanda? Just a second. We need to talk to you.
Brooke: Hi, sweetie.
Amanda: Is Jamie with you?
Brooke: Ah, no, he's at a friend's actually. Would you mind if I asked you a couple of questions?
Amanda: Sure.
Brooke: When you saw Junior last night, did he seem upset to you?
Amanda: I don't think so.
Brooke: He didn't say anything about being unhappy or -- or that he was thinking about leaving home? Anything like that?
Amanda: No way.
Hayley: What's with the questions, Brooke?
Brooke: Junior ran away from home, and he left a note.
Hayley: Oh, my God. My brother's missing?

[Outside the crypt at Wildwind]

Jamie: Junior?
Jamie and Junior: Ah!
Jamie: Oh, man. Give me a cardio burst.
Junior: Sorry. I heard some weird sounds in there, so I came out and hid in the bushes.
Jamie: You ok?
Junior: I guess.
Jamie it's supposed to rain tonight.
Junior: Guess that means I have to sleep in there -- with the dead people. You're not scared, are you?
Jamie: Uh -- nah. You?
Junior: Nah. Come on. I'll go first.
Jamie: Hey, wait for me.

Adam: This is Colby's home.
Jake: Not anymore. Your husband is not going to ruin my daughter's life.
Adam: Jake, you have 10 seconds to relinquish my daughter and get the hell off my property, or I'm going to have security throw you out.
Liza: You know, I wouldn't do that if I were you, Adam. Jake is leaving here, and he's leaving here with Colby. And I'm going with him.

[Colby fusses]

Brooke: Apparently Adam was talking about sending Junior away to a boarding school.
Trevor: Guy's got brass.
Hayley: I feel like a real jerk.
Ryan: Why?
Hayley: Because I was speaking to Junior about this. He told me that he felt like he was disappointing Dad, that nothing he did was good enough. And I told him to get over it. That's a great piece of advice, you know? Like might as well hand him a stick of dynamite.
Ryan: Hayley, don't beat yourself up.
Hayley: No. I -- I have to. I know better. I know my father. He's a one-man wrecking crew. I want to join the search.
Ryan: Sign me up, too.
Trevor: Scott?
Scott: Yeah, sure.
Janet: I'll tell you what. I'll stay here with the girls, but you better explain to Amanda why you're leaving.
Trevor: Good idea. Amanda? Listen, sweetie, I don't want to ruin your party, but I got to go out and look for Junior, ok?
Amanda: Just find him, Daddy, ok?
Trevor: Ok. Love you.
Amanda: I love you, too.
Trevor: All right.
Janet: Good luck.
Trevor: Let's hit the streets.

Janet: Ok, troops, what's next?
Amanda: We want a ghost story.
Katy: Yeah.
Molly: Oh, my God.
Janet: Are you sure?
Katy: Oh yeah.
Sarah: Yeah.
Amanda: Mm-hmm.
Janet: It won't give you nightmares?
Girls: No.
Janet: Ok, girls. Grab your pillows and turn off the lights.
Sarah: Yes.
Janet: Ooh. Here we go. Ready?
Sarah: Yeah.
Amanda: Mm-hmm.
Janet: Ok. It was a dark and stormy night, the kind of night when the graveyard seems to come alive, when the dead rise out of their graves to walk among the living.

Junior: You know what it smells like in here?
Jamie: Dead people?
Junior: No. It smells like onion rings.
Jamie: Man, I almost forgot. Dinner. Double everything. My mom thought I was having a growth attack.
Junior: You didn't spill?
Jamie: Hey, we took an oath. We're brothers.
Junior: Birth to earth, womb to tomb.
Jamie: Hey, all you have to do is camp out here for another few days, and then your dad will be so freaked out he will forget all about sending you away to that lame school.
Junior: Yeah, one problem. There's no bathroom.
Jamie: Worse. There's no TV.
Junior: Hey, did you bring that blanket and pillow I asked for?
Jamie: No. I was going to bring mine from home, but I ended up here. So you can use my backpack for a pillow.
Junior: Thanks.
Jamie: Well, I better be getting back to the house. You afraid?
Junior: Maybe. Remember what happened to Tad when he was a kid?
Jamie: Hey, Ray Gardner's dead. And besides, all your dad wants to do is send you away to school. It's not like he's going to break your arm and leave you in the park to croak. You'll be ok. See you tomorrow.

Erica: David, one mention of Dimitri's name, and you go ballistic.
David: One mention? You find a way to work him into every conversation. He was your true love, the love of your life, your soul mate, two hearts beating as one, a love that will never die.
Erica: David, you denied it before, but it's true. You resent my relationship with Dimitri.
David: Oh, please.
Erica: It's true. David, you're jealous of a man who's dead.
David: You're right. You're right. Dimitri is dead and gone. He's your past. But I'm here. Right here, right now. And I'm alive.
Erica: David, I don't know what you want from me. We agreed --
David: No, to hell with what we agreed. I want more.
Erica: You -- you want more? What do you mean?
David: I want to give more to you. I want whatever you have to give me.
Erica: You want strings.
David: Yes. I guess that's what I'm saying.
Erica: How do we begin?
David: No more games. No more power plays. If I do something you don't like, you tell me.
Erica: And you tell me.
David: Erica I just shut down a whole floor of a hotel for you.
Erica: The next time I leave Pine Valley, I'll leave you a note.
David: The next time you leave, you'll take me.
Erica: Well, do we stay our best-kept secret, or do we out ourselves to the world?
David: I would love nothing more than to be able to share what we have in public, but the reality is that there are people out there that could never fathom our connection. People like Palmer --
Erica: And Vanessa.
David: Right. And they will do their worst to undermine us.
Erica: But is this whatever we have -- is this so fragile?
David: I want time. I need time to get this right. And I guess I'm selfish because I don't want to share you with the world. I want you all to myself. How we doing here?
Erica: We're so much alike, it's scary.
David: Why? Because we want the same thing?
Erica: Because you can read my mind.
David: Sometimes.
Erica: What am I thinking now?
David: You're thinking, "why hasn't he taken me in his arms and kissed me?"
Erica: Oh, you're good.
David: When I'm bad, I'm even better.

Adam: Liza, please, why are you leaving?
Liza: I don't want to be here. I don't want to be around you.
Adam: You think you've won, don't you? You're not leaving this house with my daughter.
Liza: Forget everything I ever said, Adam. You forfeited every single promise the minute you lied to me. You are not, nor will you ever be, Colby's father.

Dixie: Look, we've checked all of Junior's regular hangouts. He's not in any of them. Maybe we should just do what Derek said and go home and sit tight and wait for the police to call.
Tad: Honey, I cannot do that if I know he's out there alone. By now he's probably scared to death.
Dixie: He's a tough little kid. He'll be all right.
Tad: Well, nighttime's tough for children, you know. They hear things. They imagine all kinds of scenarios. When my father left me in the woods in that park, I was terrified. I just don't want junior to know that kind of fear.
Dixie: He won't, honey. He won't. He can't.

[Junior has a nightmare]

[Banging]

Junior: Who is it? Is somebody there

[Evil laughter]

[footsteps]

Junior: Who's there?
