Eugenia: Oh, Alex. Alex, dear.
Alex: Yes?
Eugenia: Edmund's not here, no?
Alex: No. He just left. I'm on my way out, too.
Eugenia: Ah. Well, then I won't keep you.
Alex: Oh. Well, I always have time for you, Eugenia. What's up?
Eugenia: You know, being ancient has its privileges. One of it is to mind everybody else's business.
Alex: Oh, no. What do you want to know?
Eugenia: I want to know whether you and Edmund have managed to settle your differences.
Alex: You know, I don't think we'll ever see eye to eye on certain issues.
Eugenia: Oh, well, what about other issues?
Alex: You missed your calling. You should have been in a diplomatic corps.
Eugenia: Oh, diplomacy is just a sort of dressed-up compromise. Oh, I do so want my family to be happy.
Alex: Oh, I'm happy you consider me family, though we might just have to leave it at that for right now.
Eugenia: No, no, no. Wait a minute. Now, the Marick line is noted for their stubborn pride, and Edmund has inherited a great deal of that.
Gillian: Alex! Hey, what a wonderful surprise!
Alex: Hello.
Gillian: I thought you were still in London.
Alex: Yeah. No, I was, but there was a detail in Dimitri's will that brought me back here.
Gillian: Oh, I hope for good.
Alex: No, just until I find someone to run the Andrassy foundation.
Gillian: The what?
Alex: Oh. It's this wonderful new organization funded by Dimitri. It's to research and treat rare diseases. It's wonderful. I'm supposed to run it, but --
Eugenia: Yes, but she's rejected the position.
Gillian: Why? You'll be perfect for it. Nobody's more professional and compassionate than you are.
Alex: No, it's the wrong timing for me, Gillian, right now.
Eugenia: Well, is there any chance of progress in finding a replacement?
Alex: No. There's only been one candidate so far -- David Hayward.
Gillian: No. No. No, you can't use David. He's a monster.
Alex: I happen to agree with you. But why do you say that?
Gillian: Well, it's -- it's personal. Not to mention embarrassing.
Alex: I don't mean to pry, but this is important. If you know something about David --

Vanessa: Oh, my, my. Well, fancy running into both of you so early in the morning.
David: I've always been an early riser.
Vanessa: Oh. Is he, dear?
Erica: Is he what?
Vanessa: An early riser.
Erica: Whatever are you implying, Vanessa?
Vanessa: Oh, nothing, nothing. I mean, but you have to admit, I mean, this scenario is a little provocative. I mean, seeing both of you come out of David's room looking tres intimate. Am I the first to know? How quickly can I spread the word?

Eli: Hey, Tad.
Tad: Hey, Eli.
Eli: Welcome back to the zoo.
Tad: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Eli: Score some Q time with Dixie and the boys?
Tad: You make them sound like a country-western act. Yeah, we managed to circle the wagons and do the family thing.
Eli: Yeah, holding the fort against the bad guys?
Tad: Well, just one bad guy in particular. So tell me, who we got on line
to demo the new style segment? Eli: She's right over there.

Tad: Hayley?
Hayley: Hi.
Tad: Sweet-- I -- I don't believe it. Are you trying out for this gig?
Hayley: Well, if the exec producer has no objections.
Tad: Are you kidding? If it were up to me, I'd hire you on the spot. You look like a million bucks.
Hayley: Oh, thanks.
Tad: When did you go show biz?
Hayley: Oh, it really wasn't my idea, but a friend convinced me that it wasn't that far off. I mean, I ran Enchantment. I am kind of media savvy and I know how to spot trends -- you know, what floats, what tanks.
Tad: Yeah, but what about the lifestyle change? I mean, this is a day job, honey, and you were -- you were nightshift.
Hayley: I need a change.
Tad: Yeah?
Hayley: I do, believe me. This is Hayley Vaughan going solo, live from WRCW. Yeah. Did I mention that it's a solo gig?
Tad: Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. I heard about you and Mateo splitting up.
Hayley: Oh, please. I want to get this job because I earned it, not because you feel sorry for me.
Tad: No, well, I didn't say anything about a sympathy --
Hayley: Just point me in the direction of my camera and get out of my way.
Tad: That's -- that's good energy. You hang on to that, ok? Which reminds me, I got to get Liza down here. Just hang tough, ok? Hey, Eli, would somebody please get Liza on the phone and tell her to get her royal behind down here?

Liza: Something was brought to my attention concerning the transfer of Colby's stem cells for Dimitri's treatment, and I just can't justify it.
Adam: Well, I'll help if I can.
Liza: Reassure me. Give me an answer that works, that I understand.
Adam: I'll do my best.
Liza: Ok, Colby's stem cells were transferred from PVH. To Seaview. Someone intervened in the process -- someone with unauthorized access. Can you tell me who that someone was?
Adam: Liza, I'm sure there's an explanation.
Liza: Good, I hope there is, because I would love to know why David Hayward's name is on the routing papers. I mean, as far as I know, David Hayward had no involvement in this case other than suggesting Colby as the donor. You want to tell me why David Hayward's name is on Dimitri's case file?

[Adam remembers….]

Monty: Were you tampering with that sample?
P.A. Announcer: The fire department has sounded the all clear.
Adam: Of course not. No, no. I was just checking to make sure it was still intact.
Monty: Well, why wouldn't it be? I packed it myself.
Adam: Well, when the alarm went off, Dr. Hayward asked me to come back and check on it, make sure the vibrations hadn't knocked it off the table.
Monty: What vibrations?
Adam: The fire alarm. And then if there had been an actual fire, of course, well, then there could have been an explosion, and it's terribly important that this get to the testing facility right away.
Monty: I thought this was Dr. Jake Martin's case.
Adam: Well, yes, they're collaborating. This is kind of a paper, a research paper, some incredibly complicated medical procedure. I don't really know what's it about. But Dr. Hayward is in charge of the transfer of the specimen.

Liza: Hello?
Have you heard a word I've said?
Adam: Yes, of course.
Liza: So do you want to tell me why Hayward would be in the middle of all this?
Adam: Liza, why would I have any knowledge of this stem cell business?
Liza: Because you were opposed to it and your twisted mind works just like David's when you don't get what you want.
Adam: Oh --
Liza: Oh. Remember Junior and Winchester prep? Does that ring a school bell?
Adam: That's kid's play compared to Hayward's machinations. Don't put me in his league.
Liza: You're a big help.
Adam: Sorry I can't be more devious for you.
Liza: I'll just have to confront David directly.
Adam: Why bother? The man's as twisted as a corkscrew. If he did something underhanded, he wouldn't admit it.
Liza: True.
Adam: I think maybe you're making too much of this signature, anyway.
Liza: Am I?
Adam: Well, I don't want to give a fiend who tried to kill me the benefit of the doubt.
Liza: Well, why would you?
Adam: Well, it's just possible that Hayward was following some hospital protocol that we're not aware of.
Liza: No one should have authorized the transfer but Jake.
Adam: Well, maybe Jake was called away on an emergency or something and Hayward just signed for it. It's not as if a crime has been committed.

[Telephone rings]

Adam: Who cares who signed the paperwork?

[Ring]

Liza: I suppose when you put it that way -- Liza Colby Chandler. Tad: This is Tad Martin coming to you live from the request line at WRCW.
Liza: Tad, what little request would you like?
Tad: My request is you get yourself back to the studio so Hayley can do her thing for the camera.
Liza: Oh, the audition. I completely forgot.
Tad: See that? I go away for five days and everything goes kerflooey.
Liza: Um -- no. I'm sorry. I am so sorry. I will be there. Tell her that we'll roll in 30 minutes. I got to go.
Adam: No. You haven't eaten anything.
Liza: I will grab something at the studio. I love you.

Tad: Liza is en route. She apologizes for the delay.
Hayley: Oh, that's no problem. It gives me time to complete my meltdown.
Tad: You don't need any more coffee, honey. Don't be nervous, ok? You're going to be sensational. You just keep repeating to yourself, "There's no business like show business," ok?
Hayley: There's no business like show business. Right. Ok. Got it. There's no business like show business. There's no business like show -- oh, this is not working!
Ryan: Maybe if you click your heels together.
Hayley: Ryan.
Ryan: I didn't mean to snap your last nerve.
Hayley: It's been snapped. Don't worry about it. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be out hawking airtime?
Ryan: My lunch break.
Hayley: At 10:00 A.M.?
Ryan: Ok, so I took a five to come here and wish you good luck. Liza can dock my pay. Got my fingers crossed for you, Hayley. Hope this works out.
Hayley: Well, if it does, I owe you big time.
Ryan: Really?
Hayley: Mm-hmm.
Ryan: Well, I have an idea of how you can pay me back.

Alex: Oh, I hate to put you on the spot like this.
Gillian: It's not you.
Alex: I heard that David may have had something to do with your breakup with Ryan. Yeah?
Gillian: He had a part, but I messed things up all by myself.
Eugenia: Oh, no, my dear. You -- he used you. He used you shamelessly.
Gillian: I used him, too, Grandmama.
Alex: David is really pushing to head up this foundation. I know he is a gifted surgeon, but his character is of equal importance, it could mean that he is so unsuitable for this job.
Gillian: What happened between me and David is best forgotten.
Alex: I wouldn't put you through this under normal circumstances, but I've learned that David may have interfered with Dimitri's stem cell therapy. Well, if that's true, asking this man to run my husband's foundation would be an insult to Dimitri's memory.
Gillian: But David supported this whole treatment. He was the one that said we could use Colby's stem cells.
Alex: Yeah.
Eugenia: Yes, I know, but one good deed doesn't cancel out just dozens of bad deeds. Alex needs your help, my darling. You tell her. Tell her everything that you can. I love you two ladies.
Gillian: Dear, sweet Grandmama. You know why she left? Because she knows how ashamed I am of what happened and she wants to spare me the embarrassment.
Alex: If this is too hard for you --
Gillian: No. No. If David's acting up again, we have to stop him before he takes his next victim

Vanessa: I think I will call "The Bulletin," the society editor. Item -- "Dr. Did Hayward steps out with Erica Kane."
Erica: I hate to spoil your fantasy, Vanessa. David and I happened to run into each other in this public hallway.
Vanessa: Oh. Is that the story for publication?
Erica: That's the truth.
David: Don't bother, Erica. Vanessa's spent so many years playing musical beds that she sees trysts everywhere she looks.
Vanessa: David, forgive me for taking a personal interest in my son's life.
David: Your interests are one step up from the gutter.
Vanessa: You know, David, honestly, you can be so vulgar sometimes.
David: What can I say, mother? You inspire me to new lows.
Vanessa: Mm-hmm.
David: Erica, have you had breakfast yet?
Erica: No.
David: Would you like to join me downstairs?
Erica: I'd love to.
Vanessa: Or we can make it a threesome.
David: I don't think that's going to happen. Shall we?
Vanessa: Erica, that necklace -- stunning. Is it new?
Erica: This? I've had this forever.
Vanessa: Really? Gift from one of your admirers. Anyone I know?
Erica: No. You don't know him at all.
Vanessa: Well, anyway, what was I thinking? Erica Kane involved with my son? You're much too savvy for that. You realize he just uses women for certain needs and then tosses them aside.
David: That's enough, mother.
Vanessa: It does pain me to say this, but my son is a pathological playboy.
David: I said that's enough.

Palmer: Ron, I wonder if I could have your assistance in a personal matter.
Ron: The Valley Inn is always at your service, Mr. Cortlandt.
Palmer: Well, the situation is this -- my wife has made several overseas phone calls to a sick friend.
Ron: Uh-huh.
Palmer: And I have encouraged her to use my corporate credit card, you know, for records, for tax purposes, that kind of thing.
Ron: Ok.
Palmer: But I'm afraid that, you know, she forgets and she just dials direct. So I was wondering if I could have a look at a record of those phone calls.
Ron: That shouldn't be a problem.
Palmer: Good man, good man. Well, I can count on your discretion.
Ron: Always.
Palmer: Ah.

Erica: So, do you think we fooled Vanessa?
David: Do we really care?
Erica: Well, I'd hate to see us get ground up in the rumor mill, and your mother has such a vicious tongue.
David: Are you intimidated by her?
Erica: Certainly not.
David: And her warnings about me?
Erica: No, I'm not afraid of you, either.
David: Well, maybe you should be.

[Pager beeps]

David: I got to call the hospital. Are we still on for breakfast?
Erica: Look, do you mind if I skip it, all right? I'm really not even hungry.
David: All right. I'll catch you later. Ciao, Principessa.
Erica: Ciao.

Palmer: Erica. You meeting someone?
Erica: No. No, actually, I canceled my meeting.
Palmer: Well, join me for breakfast.
Erica: Oh, Palmer, do you mind? I really need to be at Enchantment.
Palmer: Oh, come on. You can't start the day without any fuel. Come on. And besides, I'm in desperate need of a woman's point of view.
Erica: Well, Palmer, why don't you ask your wife?
Palmer: Sorry. Vanessa is the last person I could turn to.

Gillian: I was so desperate to get Ryan out of jail, and David knew that. And the only way he would offer me the bail money was if I slept with him one more time. And I finally gave in. And I paid for it with my marriage.
Alex: I'm sorry. I don't know if it's any comfort, but he's made a second career out of manipulating women.
Gillian: He had me right where he wanted -- in his bed.
Alex: Well, at least you're still alive. You should consider yourself lucky.
Gillian: I do. And, you know, in a strange way, I'm glad I met David.
Alex: Why?
Gillian: I used to just take things, you know, without even thinking about it. And being with David and seeing how selfishly he lived -- and it made it all seem so pathetic, and I didn't want to be that person anymore.
Alex: You grew up.
Gillian: I grew a heart. And I guess I owe David for that. But not enough to make him head of the Andrassy foundation.
Alex: Oh, no. I agree. He's not the right man for the job.
Gillian: So what do we do now?
Alex: I'm going to keep looking. You volunteer at the hospital. Is there anyone there you'd recommend?
Gillian: As a matter of fact, there is.

[Jake imitates car driving]

Jake: Look at the strange man.
Tad: Well, look who it is. If is isn't beauty -- hello, beauty -- and the beast.
Jake: Hmm. You need new material.
Tad: Yeah, I know. Sit down.
Jake: How was the family getaway?
Tad: It was great.
Jake: Yeah?
Tad: Yeah.
Jake: I need to get away with Colby for a few days.
Tad: You mean get away from Adam.
Jake: That, too.
Tad: Well, a vacation's not going to do it, sport. I think you're going to have to enroll this one in the IPP.
Jake: I'll bite.
Tad: Infant Protection Program.
Jake: Ah - Bad enough I got to give Colby back to Liza today.
Tad: Well, don't you worry. Adam's not going to do anything to this baby.
Jake: Can I get that in writing?
Tad: You don' t need it. You got your big brother's word on it. You sit tight. Liza's going to be here any minute.

[Colby fusses]

Hayley: Do I look ok?
Tad: You look like the camera's going to lap you up.
Ryan: See, I told you.
Tad: Maybe we should go over what's going to happen when the tapes roll, ok?
Hayley: Is there a script?
Tad: No, honey. You have to breathe, ok?
Hayley: Ok.
Tad: Please, try it with me. Excellent. No, no, there's going to be no script. We want you to do this spontaneous and unrehearsed because if you get the job, you're going to be writing your own copy. Ok?
Hayley: Ok.
Liza: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Sorry. Sorry I'm late.
Tad: Yes.
Liza: Listen, be as good as your audition tape, and then you're going to be a huge star. Now, come with me. There's a few things I want you to keep in mind, ok?
Hayley: All right.

Jake: Yes. It's Daddy's little girl.
Tad: Excuse me. How did you get past security?
Adam: I snuck in with a tour group.
Tad: Good. You can leave the same way.
Adam: How's Junior?
Tad: He's doing better, no thanks to you.
Adam: No more nightmares?
Tad: No. Apparently, all the stress you induced was temporary.

[Telephone rings]

Leslie: Leslie Coulson.
Adam: What progress on those outstanding shares?
Leslie: I'm still working on it. So is Barry.
Adam: Work harder. Do whatever you have to do. Make it happen.
Liza: Make what happen?
Adam: Business.
Liza: As usual. Didn't I just leave you at the Valley Inn?
Adam: Yes, much too abruptly. I'm here to persuade you to take the day off.
Liza: Oh, I would love to. But actually, I have auditions for that style segment I was telling you about for the show.
Adam: Can't you delegate?
Liza: When I have Duffy Duffield as a partner, I will delegate and I will have loads of time to spend with my husband and my daughter.
Adam: Can't wait.
Eli: Ok, quiet, everybody. We're rolling.
Liza: Actually, why don't you stay? It's a surprise. Come on.
Eli: And -- Audition, take one. Five, four, three, two --
Tad: Trend spotting, fashion forecasting, scoping what's hot, trashing what's not. You're in for a treat, folks, because here's our very own Hayley Vaughan to tell you what's hip and happening.
Adam: You didn't tell me Hayley was up for this job.
Liza: Surprise.

Hayley: Thank you, Tad, but had you checked with your kids, you would know it's not hip to be hip anymore. This season you must be "Mad," "Large," or "Triple X to the ax" for the millennium conscious. Tad: Word, baby. I've got props. What's the buzz on the street, Mommy?
Hayley: Well, the trendoid that started to sizzle last summer ignites this fall. Cruising down Manhattan's Seventh Avenue, the rich gypsy and bohemian party girl looks command attention from the teen maxing out her daddy's gold card to the Wall Street executrix. Look for lots of beaded shoes and tiaras on New Year's Eve. And, Tad, you'll be thrilled to know that matching your shoes to your purse is no longer a priority this season.
Tad: But how did you -- I mean, so, what tops your list of dos and don'ts this year?
Hayley: I will need a volunteer from our studio audience, Tad.
Tad: Ok.
Hayley: Sir? Care to make a fool of yourself for fashion?
Tad: I'd say he's already halfway there. What's wrong with this picture?
Hayley: Well, nothing, except this look is dead. You want electric, metallic colors. Orange and shock-wave pinks are your new best friends.
Tad: In the office?
Hayley: Nighttime goes daytime, Tad, with lots of satins and silks making their way into the office workplace. Precision haircuts are in, so buzz that fuzz and lose that mousse.
Tad: You heard it here first. Ok, sweet thing. Got any advice for the M -- M -- Millennium?
Hayley: I -- I -- I most certainly do, Tad.

[Tad laughs]

Hayley: You know, being good to yourself never goes out of style. There is no shelf life on self-esteem, so party your way toward the future and celebrate the road you took to get there. Peace, out.
Liza: Cut.
Tad: That's it.
Ryan: Are you kidding? You nailed it! Right?
Adam: You were terrific.
Hayley: Good enough to pull a paycheck?
Liza: I think the judges need a time-out.
Hayley: It was kind of a surprise spot.
Adam: They'd be damn lucky to have you.
Tad: Oh, sweetheart, congratulations.
Liza: Yeah, you have the job.
Hayley: Really?
Liza: Yes.
Adam: Yes!
Tad: We're going to start you out doing five segments a week on "The Cutting Edge."
Liza: Yes, and if our focus groups are correct, the ratings are going to go through the roof and you're going to be spin-off on your own show. Our investor is going to be thrilled.
Tad: What investor?
Liza: Oh. See what happens when you go on vacation? I sold a percentage of the station to an investor out of Silicon Valley. Congratulations. You're going to be fantastic. You really are.

Alex: So who's this person that's got you all grinning?
Gillian: Somebody I'd like to know better.
Alex: Oh, I see.
Gillian: Somebody who's really wonderful and who has the kindest heart.
Alex: Now, this qualifies him to run the Andrassy foundation?
Gillian: Alex, he would be amazing with those people with the rare diseases. You should see him with these patients. They adore him, and -- and he really listens.
Alex: He's a doctor at Pine Valley?
Gillian: Mm-hmm.
Alex: You realize that this is an administrative position?
Gillian: I know. But the thing is you can totally trust him. And not only that, but he's -- he's responsible and you can count on him.
Alex: Well, that's a good recommendation.
Gillian: He deserves it.
Alex: How does he feel about you?
Gillian: I don't know. I just know that whenever I'm with him, it feels like I'm wearing a party dress.
Alex: Oh, that's sweet.
Gillian: Oh, I guess that doesn't make any sense.
Alex: No, it does. It makes perfect sense. I love that. Does he have a name, this man?
Gillian: Yeah. It's Jake Martin.
Alex: Oh, yeah. Dr. Martin. Oh, he was wonderful when Dimitri was ill. Yeah, he's a good guy.
Gillian: Yeah, he's really wonderful. I feel so lucky to have him in my life. You know, it's like I get to explore the world all over again with him.
Alex: I know that feeling.
Gillian: Alex, I know you're grieving now. I cried so many tears when Ryan left me. But look at me. Here I am. And I'm almost happy again. And I know it'll happen for you, too.
Alex: I don't think I'm ever really supposed to get over Dimitri. And I think that's good. It means he has a part of my soul. But I'm ready to move on in other respects. I'm going to find someone to run this foundation, and then I'm going to try and slip quietly back into my old life -- I mean, what's left of it.
Gillian: I hope you find what you want.
Alex: I'll see you.

Palmer: Vanessa has made several calls to a friend in Zurich.
Erica: A friend?
Palmer: Mm-hmm. A Bunny Wainwright.
Erica: The infamous Bunny Wainwright?
Palmer: You know her?
Erica: Well, I know of her.
Palmer: Well, Vanessa claims that Bunny is ill and she's been seeking treatment in a clinic in Zurich. But, you know, I'm afraid that it's really Vanessa who is ill.
Erica: I've always suspected that Vanessa was a few diamonds short of a tiara.
Palmer: No, no, no. Erica, really. No, Vanessa is just as sane as you or I. No, I'm talking about a physical illness. Now, I think that perhaps Vanessa has been in touch with -- well, a specialist overseas.
Erica: Palmer, if she has, I haven't heard.
Palmer: Of course, I have no proof of that. But if I knew for certain that there was something amiss, then I could provide my wife with the treatment that she deserves.
Erica: The treatment she deserves? Oh, well, then, palmer, just ask me. I'd be happy to help you.
Palmer: Well, she did live with you for a while. You know, she has a little history of heart problems there, and if she was in touch with a specialist, perhaps you overheard something.
Erica: Palmer, I'm not in the habit of eavesdropping.
Palmer: Well, at the very least, you should have a copy of the phone bills of that period. Perhaps if I could have a look at them, it would set my mind to rest.
Erica: Palmer, we have known each other a long time, and way too long to be playing these games. I don't think you're upset about Vanessa's health. But I do think you're very worried about Vanessa. So why don't you just tell me -- what has she done to get you so worked up?
Erica: Palmer, if Vanessa is giving you grief, please just say the word and you will have my help.
Palmer: Well, well, I value your friendship and your unflagging support.
Erica: Well, then, please, just tell me what's wrong so I can help you straighten it out.
Palmer: See, I think you have the whole wrong idea about Vanessa. I know that we're not the love match of the century, but I count myself very fortunate to have found, well, a soul mate in the autumn of my life, and -- well, Vanessa understands my quirks, and I certainly understand that she needs to be a person in her own right.
Erica: Oh, Palmer. How you can be happy with that harpy -- I'm sorry, I will never understand.
Palmer: See, that's Hayward talking. That's -- David has poisoned you against his mother.
Erica: No. David was a victim of his mother's cruelty. And I just want to be sure that you don't allow yourself to be next on her hit list.
Palmer: Oh.
Vanessa: Oh, my, Palmer. Palmer, Erica -- am I interrupting a private party?
Palmer: No, no, darling. I was just telling Erica how much you mean to me. Wasn't that right?
Erica: Absolutely.
Vanessa: I thought you and David were breakfasting together.
Erica: No, actually, I canceled. I have a meeting at Enchantment.
Vanessa: Oh.
Palmer: Well, then, why don't we have breakfast sent up to our suite. Then I can have you all to myself.
Erica: Palmer, just think about that little problem we discussed.
Palmer: Hmm.

David: What'd I miss?
Erica: David. I just assumed you'd be called away.
David: False alarm. I saw Palmer and Vanessa making their getaway.
Erica: Oh, yes, and you were exactly right about them. That honeymoon is definitely over.

Ryan: You are on your way. I see you with a show of your own.
Hayley: Maybe. If Liza's new partner comes onboard.
Ryan: Don't worry about it. It's Liza's show. It's Liza's station. She calls the shots no matter who buys in.
Hayley: Yeah, well, I'm glad I did it, no matter what the outcome. And thank you for letting me drag you up onstage. As far as good sports go, you're the ultimate.
Ryan: Oh --
Hayley: What?
Ryan: Well, actually, I'm just starting to have second thoughts about this gig.
Hayley: Stop it. You're the one who forced the idea in the first place.
Ryan: Yeah, I know. I know. But if you didn't get this job, then every guy in America wouldn't be falling in love with you, leaving me out in the cold.
Hayley: Never. Wherever we go, it will always be summer.

Liza: I wanted some more time for myself a for my family. That's why I sold a small percentage of the station to Duffy Duffield, the computer czar.
Tad: Yeah, well, that's all well and good for you, but what about me?
Liza: Relax.
Tad: What happens if this new partner of yours doesn't like my profile?
Liza: Tad, you have a contract. And I'm the big dog. You have job security with me.

Adam: Liza, thank you so much for giving Hayley that chance. It's exactly what she needs.
Liza: Are you kidding? She's exactly what we need. Now, excuse me while I go munch on my daughter.

Tad: It was you, wasn't it?
Adam: Excuse me?
Tad: Did you have anything to do with Liza unloading that stock?
Adam: Yes, I did. I advised her against it. But Liza's determined to spend more time with Colby and me. I'm sure you of all people know better than anyone else that's it's useless to fight Liza when her mind's made up.

Liza: Oh, you look so beautiful. Was she an angel?
Jake: Oh, the world's most perfect baby.
Liza: Thank you for dropping her by.
Jake: No problem. So, is Godzilla under control?
Liza: Behave.
Jake: I will if he will. Oh, could I take Colby out Wednesday in the morning? I want to take her to the park, if it's doable.
Liza: Sure. Done. Oh, before you go, though -- what part did David Hayward play in the transferring of Colby's stem cells from PVH. To Seaview?
Jake: Hayward? He wasn't involved as far as I know. Why?
Liza: His name is on the transfer papers.
Jake: No way

Adam: I wouldn't worry about it, Tad. This buy-in will make Liza's life a lot simpler. And yours as well.
Tad: Is that that trickle-down theory?
Adam: We'll all have more time to spend with our loved ones. You, too. And that's what life is all about, isn't it?

Liza: David is a cardiologist. I mean, what's he doing in the middle of Colby's stem cell transfer?
Jake: I'd like to know.
Liza: This is the second time that he's breached protocol.
Jake: What was the first?
Liza: Remember when my amniotic fluid was missing from the hospital?
Jake: Uh-huh, yeah. What, was he was using it for some research he was conducting?
Liza: Yeah. Has anybody ever see the research? Did anybody ever see a report that was generated?
Jake: Not that I know of.
Liza: I don't think so. I just want to know why David Hayward would try to interfere with Dimitri's treatment.
Jake: He wouldn't. I mean, he was all for it. Adam was the one who almost blew a fuse. I mean, if you were going to tell me that he was involved, I'd say launch a full investigation, but -- oh, man. I'm going to talk to Hayward. I'm going to see why his name is on the transfer.
Liza: No, don't talk to Hayward. Really, don't. He's not going to want to tell the truth unless you bludgeon him. I think a subtler approach is needed.
Jake: Yeah? All right. If that's what you think. But keep me updated, please.
Liza: I will.
Jake: Ok. Take care. Bye.
Liza: Kisses?
Jake: Bye. Bye-bye. Mmm. All right.

Liza: Yes, can you transfer me to the lab, please? Thanks. Yes, hi. This is Liza Colby Chandler. I'm calling -- I need to speak to the lab tech who is responsible for my daughter Colby's stem cells to be transferred from PVH. To Seaview. Oh. Well, great. I was hoping I could set up an appointment so I could speak with you in person. Well, no, I really don't want to do it over the phone. Yeah, that would be great. Thank you. Bye.

David: Perhaps it's better that we decided not to go public. With Vanessa, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Erica: So we'll stay undercover.
David: When you say it, it doesn't sound so bad.
Erica: You have to behave.
David: I want to find out what's perking between Palmer and his December bride.
Erica: Yeah.
David: And when I take the reins of the Andrassy foundation, then we'll proclaim our togetherness to the world. Save my seat. We may have something to celebrate. Good morning, Alex.
Alex: Oh. Good morning. David: Listen, if you're not busy, I'd like to sit down and discuss with you my plans for the Andrassy foundation.
Alex: Yes, I'd like to speak to you, too. What I have to say and what you want to hear are probably two different things, though.
David: Can we at least sit down?
Alex: Trust me, you don't want to do it here. I'll catch you at the hospital.

Ryan: Who are we trying to kid? You want me as bad as I want you. I want to be with you, Hayley.
