Liza: So do you have anything in the bathroom?
Adam: Nope. Ready to go back home. Are you with me?
Liza: Adam.
Adam: Liza, I want you to move back in today -- now.
Liza: We said we weren't going to rush things.
Adam: Yes, well, we can take things one step at a time. We don't need to share a bedroom or -- I could stay in the gardener's shack for a while. I just want you to move back in. I want you to be near me.
Liza: I'll be near you in the gatehouse.
Adam: The gatehouse is too crowded. Marian and Stuart need their privacy. What do you say I call Winifred, have her pack your bag and Colby's bag, and she can have your rooms ready by the time I'm released.
Liza: So you're doing this for Stuart and Marian.
Adam: No, I'm doing it for me and you.
Liza: I see. Well, no, I -- we just can't pick up where we left off. I'm sorry. I wish that we could pick up, but I don't think we can. I mean, this summer I've learned some very important lessons. Very hard lessons, and one of those lessons is that you are dangerous to my mental health.

Arlene: Say that again, Doc. I'm -- I'm pregnant?
Dr. Morrison: Yeah, according to your hormone levels, I'd say you're about seven weeks along.
Arlene: Are you sure that you're looking at Arlene Chandler's chart?
Dr. Morrison: Yeah. There's no question about it.
Arlene: Well -- well, thank you. Thank you. If I weren't pregnant, I'd run on down there and give you a big wet one.
Dr. Morrison: Oh, good, good. I'm glad to hear you're so pleased.
Arlene: Oh, please! This is the best thing that's ever happened to me in my life. Oh, yeah.

Photographer: Hey, Dr. Martin! Hey, turn this way and give your wife one more kiss.
Jake: Ok. All right.
Photographers: Yeah. All right.

[Photographers cheer]

Jake: Oh, yeah. Ok, how was that? All right? Anyone else want to see a kiss here?

Reporter: Hey, can we get a comment from Adrian Sword and Ryan Lavery? They orchestrated this rescue.
Adrian: It was a team effort.
Jake: And Ryan here, he took out a sniper that might have done us all in.
Reporter: Hey, how about giving us some details?
Ryan: Uh -- you know, I really don't know what to say about it.
Reporter: Had your fill of war?
Ryan: Yes, I sure have. Definitely.
Gillian: You know, seeing that kind of suffering, it changes you.
Jake: And I was just really glad that I could be able, in some small level, to alleviate some of the suffering in Chechnya. But as for now, all of my energy is focused on rebuilding my life here with Gillian.
Reporter: You have no combat training, Dr. Martin. Were you scared over there?
Jake: At times, yes. Especially when my wife came to rescue me. Seeing her in the line of fire, that -- that was definitely terrifying.
Reporter: And, Mrs. Martin, how does it feel to have your husband home?
Gillian: Well, I have so many feelings in my heart right now. I don't know what to say.

Greenlee: Why don't you tell them it's a little awkward because your lover's standing right over there and you feel so sleazy you can barely stand up straight?
Leo: Down, girl.

Adam: I threaten your mental health? You are the most sane and stable person I have ever met.
Liza: Except when it comes to you.
Adam: Well, that must be love.
Liza: Let's take last night, for example. I took your wife and I locked her in the attic with a bowl of soup and some rat poison.
Adam: That's the last meal she's going to eat under my roof. Arlene is history.
Liza: Do you understand that wherever you're involved, I am crazy?
Adam: No, no, you're passionate. That's a good thing.
Liza: Tad and my mother and a host of other people say that I'm addicted to you.
Adam: Well, there are worse things to be hooked on.
Liza: No, it's not healthy.
Adam: I promise you that I won let you be hurt again.
Liza: And that's a promise that you've made before as well. What about Colby? Colby is my first priority, and this game that we call a marriage is not going to work with her.
Adam: Colby is my first priority, too. I give you my solemn vow on that.
Liza: I want to believe you, and that's my problem.
Adam: Sweetheart, I know this has been a crazy rat race of a marriage we've had, a love affair, but I -- I promise you I've changed. Stuart did that. Cong back -- Stuart coming back to my life did that to me. You watched it happen
Liza: It doesn't wash away the past, Adam.
Adam: All right, the past, we learn from the past.
Liza: Not completely. I mean, this summer? Look at what you did. You turned your back on me. You -- Colby and I, we were completely, entirely out of your life. You didn't want anything to do with me. You didn't want anything to do with Colby.
Adam: Sweetheart, this summer I thought I'd killed my brother. Now, how could I love you and Colby when I hated myself? I've also turned my back -- I couldn't face Hayley or junior or any of the people I really love.
Liza: You see, that just doesn't work for me. Because when your life's in shambles and things are falling apart, you turn to your family. The people who are going to help you are the people who love you. That's the deal.
Adam: I know, I know. I know. Of course that's right. And that's why I regret so much the time that I missed with you and Colby. I don't want to miss any more of that. I was wrong. Tell me how I can win back my two beautiful ladies.
Liza: You are the most stubborn man I've ever met.
Adam: When it comes to you, I am. Yes, I am. I'll do anything to get you to believe in me again. What will it take?
Liza: Patience -- and plenty of it.
Adam: Patience. Ooh, I used to hate patience, remember? I just couldn't stand patience, but I'm fine with it now. I'll tell you what -- let's start by having you and Colby come to dinner at my place tonight. We'll have a nice, quiet, patient dinner. Hmm? Give you all your favorite dishes -- and Colby's. What would our daughter like?
Liza: Her idea of a five-star meal is French fries and apple juice, but I insist on some vegetables.
Adam: Ok, done. Anything special for you?
Liza: I think it might be a good idea not to have Arlene there.
Adam: Oh, that's handled. I talked to Hayley. Arlene's bags are packed. A cab came to get her a few minutes ago.
Liza: Well, I should go. I'll be able to see the press conference that Jake's giving, a little bit of it, anyway, you know. I'll just see you later.
Adam: Ok, about 7:00?
Liza: Yeah. Colby and I will be there.
Adam: Ok, Liza. I look forward to this evening.

Reporter: Mr. Sword, how did you know where Dr. Martin was?
Adrian: Well, I had sources on the ground in Chechnya, and, actually, the battle lines there were in a constant state of flux.
Reporter: So how did you find him?
Adrian: Largely due to luck, and Mrs. Martin actually stumbled across her husband when she was trying to locate the Red Cross contingent.
Reporter: How were you able to get all those children out?
Adrian: We used helicopters. But all of the efforts -- the rescue mission, bringing Dr. Jake home, and bringing -- rescuing the orphans -- would not have been possible without the help of Mr. Ryan Lavery.

Reporter: Mr. Lavery, weren't you just arrested, sir, for misappropriating funds from your internet company?
Ryan: Uh, yes, I was, but I can't really discuss the case. I'm certain that once all the facts are known, I will be exonerated.
Reporter: Was that money that you took, sir, used to bankroll this mission?
Ryan: Yes, it was. Yes, it was. I'm just very eased with the outcome, the return of Jake Martin.
Reporter: Mr. Lavery, we understand that Mr. Sword has a family connection to the Martins, but, sir, why would you put your career and your life on the line to rescue Dr. Martin?

Greenlee: Well, that's easy. It's because --

Ryan: It was just, um -- it was just something I felt I had to do.
Reporter: But, sir, weren't you married to Dr. Martin's wife at one point and was that a consideration in any of this?
Joe: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry. That's all the time we have. We have a hospital to run. Thanks an awful lot for coming. Could you all please use this exit.

Adrian: Well, mission accomplished.

Jake: Hey! Oh, my.
Dixie: Oh, gosh. I'm so happy to have you home.
Jake: It's great to be home.
Dixie: I tell you, you pull another stunt like that, I'm just going to have to knock you silly, you understand? You know how worried we were?
Jake: Well, and I love you, too, Dix.
Dixie: You look pretty good, considering. A little skinny, though. When you coming over for dinner?
Jake: You, too? See, that's the first thing that Mom said when she saw me.
Tad: Fatten you up.
Jake: Got to fatten me up.
Dixie: The boys, they can't wait to see you. All they talk about is their Uncle, the hero.
Jake: Well, I miss the boys. That's nice to hear. Listen, I'm going to come over just as soon as I get back on US time.
Dixie: Ok.
Jake: Ok.
Dixie: It's wonderful to see you.
Jake: You, too, Dix. You, too. I missed you guys so much. So, what are you doing tomorrow?
Tad: I'm sorry, Pal. Tomorrow's no good for me -- that is, if you want to hang out with me. I'm going to be out of the country.
Dixie: What? Since when?
Tad: Since I found out this morning, Sweetie. I'm sorry. I promise I'll make it up to you just as soon as I get back. As a matter of fact, what am I doing? I got to make a phone call. Excuse me for a second.
Jake: Yeah, right my brother, the big CEO. There you go.

[Dixie laughs]

Dixie: He's a jerk, but I love him.
David: Welcome home, Jake. It's good to have you back.
Jake: David. It's good to be back.
David: So when are you planning on coming back to the hospital?
Jake: Soon, I hope.
Dix, wonderful to see you.
Dixie: Oh, you, too, Sweetie.
Jake: Thanks for coming out.
Dixie: Ok.

David: Well, Jake is certainly news, huh?
Dixie: He deserves a ticker tape parade. They all do.
David: Since you're the one that brought up paper, shall we get back to the office?
Dixie: David. My brother-in-law just got home. I'd like to spend a little time with my family if you don't mind.
David: Dixie, we have a teleconference in 15 minutes.
Dixie: Well, the teleconference can wait. He just flew in, survived tanks and gunfire and God knows what else to be here with us. You know, if your teleconference is that important, just have Sonia set it up, ok?
David: All right.

Ryan: I can't believe you -- I can't believe you talked me into this, Adrian.
Adrian: Hey, don't blame me. It was your lawyer who suggested you show your face here.
Ryan: The reporters were going right for my jugular if Dr. Martin hadn't stepped in.
Adrian: Well, don't worry about it. Tomorrow the papers will read in big, bold print that you financed a rescue mission and saved all those orphans.
Ryan: Great news for me.
Adrian: Look, I think it'll be good for this thing to go on public record if you go to trial.
Ryan: I know. I just -- I said I -- I'll be exonerated? Every guilty person says that.
Adrian: Ryan, relax, ok? You handled yourself just fine.

Jake: Hey, guys. Listen, I want to thank you for showing up and taking some of the heat off us with the press conference.
Adrian: Oh, you know, the press always enjoys heroes.
Jake: Yeah. Well, and, Ryan, sorry to hear about all the legal problems you're going through.
Ryan: Yeah, well, it'll all work itself out.
Jake: I hope it does. Well, we survived the inquisition. You ready to head home

Winifred: Mr. Chandler, oh, it's so good to have you home. We've all been praying for you, sir.
Adam: Thank you, Winifred.
Winifred: And Mr. Stuart's return, it's a miracle!
Adam: Yes, it certainly is.
Winifred: I was telling Lucretia, now everything's going to get back to normal around here.
Adam: Good, good. That is my hope. I'm planning a dinner party tonight for Colby and Liza. I want you to go all out. I want flowers everywhere. I want the place to sparkle. I want you to make a table fit for my two queens, you understand?
Winifred: Yes, Mr. Chandler.
Adam: I made up a little menu for Lucretia. If she has any questions, just have her ask me. Well, what are you waiting for? Go, get ready. Get going.
Winifred: Right away, sir. I was just wondering about Mrs. Chandler. Will she be joining you?
Adam: Arlene? No, no, no, no, no, no. She's not coming back to this house ever.
Winifred: Coming -- she never left.
Adam: I was told she left hours ago in a cab.
Winifred: No, the taxi was sent away, and she's upstairs. She's been singing all afternoon.
Adam: She's been singing? Well, we'll put an end to that. All right, go on, go on. Give that to Lucretia and start on the house.

Adam: Arlene?
Arlene: Well, hello, hello, hello. How wonderful to have you home.
Adam: What the hell are you still doing here? And why are you wearing my shirt?
Arlene: Oh, I was just trying it on.
Adam: Why?
Arlene: Why? Well, I thought it might look good once I start showing.
Ad: Well, take it off.
Arlene: Oh, ok.
Adam: No, no, not here. Go upstairs and change. Take -- take off the shirt. No, keep the shirt! I don't want the shirt. You can have the damn shirt. Just go.
Arlene: Well, thank you. And I have a gift for you, too, Adam. Hmm.
Adam: Thank you. Straight from my own humidor. How generous.
Arlene: Well, that's not the gift. The gift is, well, much, much better than that.
Adam: You've taken a job in the Philippines.
Arlene: No. You ready?
Congratulations, Adam. You're going to be a papa again.

Greenlee: Where are you taking me?
Leo: Honey, you need intensive care.
Greenlee: No, you do! Or you will if you ever put your hand over my mouth again.
Leo: I had to! You were about to tell the press that Ryan went to Chechnya because he's in love with Jake's wife.
Greenlee: Well, I wouldn't have used the word "love." I would have said Ryan was there because he and Gillian have been getting it on like a pair of rabbits.
Leo: Yeah, a tasty little sound bite that would have definitely made the 6:00 News.
Greenlee: Mm-hmm.
Leo: Are you crazy?
Greenlee: I just wanted to inject a ray of truth into the proceedings. I couldn't stand seeing Ryan so sanctimonious.
Leo: Oh -- please, Greenlee. You wanted to see Ryan skewer in front of every single reporter in the area.
Greenlee: Your point being?
Leo: Ok, did -- you know, when you decided to haunt the press conference, did it ever occur to you that this might come back to bite you?
Greenlee: What are you talking about? Those reporters would have been all over Ryan like a pack of dingoes.
Leo: Yes, and after they finished devouring him, they would have followed the money trail backwards. And your grandfather would have read about your dealings with Wade Randall in the morning paper while sipping his coffee.
Greenlee: Never thought of that.
Leo: Listen to me. If you keep going after Ryan, you are only going to bring yourself down.
Greenlee: All I want is for Ryan to pay. And pay and pay.
Leo: No, this fixation has got to stop. Really. Please. Ok, you are not leaving this room until you are deprogrammed.

Joe: Jake, Jake. Did I hear you say you were thinking of taking off? I'm going to keep you here overnight for observation.
Jake: Dad, I'm leaving.
Joe: Don't fight me on this, huh?
Jake: Listen, I have been examined so much I'm beginning to feel like a floor model. I really want to go home. Plus, you know Mom's cooking is better for me than all the medicine you can prescribe.
Joe: All right. I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll do one more blood workup, and if your white cell count is stabilized, then you can go home.
Jake: Ok.
Joe: Huh?
Jake: Thanks. Thanks.
Joe: Well, don't thank me. I just don't want to hear what your mother will have to say if she finds out I've been keeping you away from her.
Jake: See, you're right about that. I'll be with you in just a minute, ok?
Joe: Ok.

Jake: Oh, man. Listen, I don't want you to think that I was pushing it, assuming that you're going to come back over to my parent's house with me.
Gillian: It was just not something that we've discussed yet.
Jake: I know. Will you come back over to my parents' house with me? I want to talk to you about our future.
Gillian: Yeah, I do, too. Will it be ok if I meet you at your parents' house?
Jake: Yeah, that would be great. I'll see you later, ok? All right.

Ryan: Look, Adrian, I know I've been a serious pain and I just wanted to say that I know you're just trying to help me and I appreciate it.
Adrian: That's fine. Listen, Ryan, this could be a very serious situation for you. You got to learn how to keep your head screwed on straight, man. Listen, I'm going to call the club, all right?

Gillian: I need to talk to you. Will you meet me at the boathouse?
Ryan: I got to take care of a couple of things. I'll be there as soon as I can.

Adam: You're pregnant?
Arlene: That's right.
Adam: That's pathetic, Arlene.
Arlene: Oh, no, it's wonderful!
Adam: No, no, no. You would stoop to almost anything, but this?
Arlene: What, you think I'm making this up?
Adam: I know you're making it up.
Arlene: Well, why would I do that?
Adam: Because you know the money train stops the minute this grotesque marriage of ours is over. And that's what I'm doing right now. It's over.
Arlene: Oh, no. It's the beginning.
Adam: Do I have to physically throw you out of here?
Arlene: Easy, Adam. Baby on board. You know, it's a sort of poetic justice when you think about it. You and I having a miracle child again. All these years after Hayley.
Adam: You have a grotesque sense of imagination, you know that?
Arlene: Oh, I just thought of something -- and Colby and our baby could play together. They could have, well, play dates.
Adam: All right, stop it. This is just a stalling technique and you know it. There's no way you're going to convince me you're pregnant.
Arlene: Oh, yeah? Huh? Winifred? I want you to run to the drugstore and get me a home pregnancy test.
Adam: Do it.
Arlene: Run, run! Like a bunny.

Dixie: Hey, Mr. Frequent Flier. What's with the sudden business trip?
Tad: Oh, I'm sorry, honey. It's another bonus to the whole Col-Mar catastrophe.
Liza: The insurance carrier is threatening to cancel our policy.
Tad: Which would set us back even farther than we were when we started.
Liza: Actually, a medium fortune.
Tad: [English accent] So I'm just going to jump across the pond, try to convince the chaps that we've just had a small setback. You know, the explosion was just a spot of bad luck and everything is just going swimmingly well.
Liza: Why don't you go with him? You could see it as a little vacation.
Tad: [Normal voice] That's a great idea.
Dixie: Well, I wish, but now's just not a good time for the boys, you know? They've got their whole school routines. They just started.
Tad: Wait, Sweetie, we could ask Brooke to look after them.
Dixie: I hate to impose. Besides, I have work. And the foundation depends on me now, Tad.
Tad: Ok, well, in that case, I'm not going anywhere until I get one thing straight. David?

David: Can I help you with something, Tad?
Tad: Yeah, I think you should know that I offered to take Dixie away on a business trip. She turned me down. Something about being needed here.
David: Well, I hope you're not expecting me to ask her to go. Dixie's essential to the foundation.
Tad: That's exactly what I'm talking about. I want you to promise me that you won't overwork her when I'm gone.
David: Ok.
Tad: No. I mean it. Don't take advantage of her generosity.
David: Why are we even having this conversation? Dixie doesn't have any trouble speaking up for herself.
Tad: No, but you've got a problem listening.
Dixie: You know what? I've got to go to the office. So, I guess I'm not going to see you before you go to London, huh? Give me a smooch?
Tad: Ok.
Dixie: Ok. And you call me whenever you get there?
Tad: As soon as I get there. I love you, baby.
Dixie: I love you, too.
Tad: Very much.

Adrian: Hey, I'm going to split.
Ryan: What, problems at the club?
Adrian: No, no, I need to find Tina. Seems she pulled a little vanishing act.
Ryan: Oh, all right. Well, good luck.
Adrian: All right.

Ryan: Hey, guys.
Liza: Hey.
Tad: Ryan.
Liza: I know that you didn't necessarily get the big hero's welcome, but I hope you know what you did for Jake was incredible.
Ryan: Thank you. Thank you. I jumped into it without considering the consequences, though. I -- I'm in a lot of trouble. I took $3 million from the company to finance the rescue mission.
Tad: Yeah, we heard. Just out of curiosity, what were you thinking? That they wouldn't miss a few million dollars?
Ryan: It gets worse. Greenlee Smythe replaced the missing money with money that she got from a loan shark, and now I'm out that money plus the interest. And I was really hoping that you guys could help me out.
Tad: Oh -- ah --
Liza: Um, well, Ryan, we invested quite a lot of money into incredibledreams.com and we're sort of wobbly right now. I don't think we'll be investing any more money in the future. Nothing personal.
Ryan: Just so you know, I wasn't being irresponsible. I'm just trying to replace the money that I spent to bring Jake back.
Liza: Tad and I will have to discuss it. I should go. I have to make a phone call to Colby's nanny.

Ryan: Tad, I was actually hoping that you guys could maybe ante up a little bit more than the $3 million.
Tad: It's amazing. No one's ever going to accuse you of lacking nerve. You know that, right?
Ryan: Yeah. I just found out that Greenlee and her grandfather own a major part of incredibledreams.com and I thought that maybe if Chandler Enterprises could buy them out, then you would become the principal stockholder.
Tad: Anything else I can do for you? Ryan: Yeah, co
uld you talk to the DA. Please, and get him to drop these charges against me?
Tad: Do I look like Santa Claus to you?
Ryan: Tad, I'm just trying to get the company back on its feet again, back to where it was when I left for Chechnya.
Tad: Yeah, I understand. And you think that I'd just jump to solve all your problems out of gratitude, is that it? Let's get one thing perfectly clear, ok? I am overjoyed to have Jake back safe and sound, and even grateful. But don't insult my intelligence by trying to pretend that this was some kind of mission of mercy because we both know it wasn't. I know in my gut that you and Gillian have been having an affair.

Greenlee: I am not fixated on Ryan Lavery.
Leo: Really? Um -- whom do you despise with a passion?
Greenlee: Ryan.
Leo: And whom did you love, love, love, before you decided to trash his loft?
Greenlee: I am a woman of deep feelings.
Leo: Ok, Greenlee, let me put it to you this way. Do you think about anyone else? Yourself excluded, of course.
Greenlee: All right, you made your point. So, what, is there a self-help book for me? "Women Who Can't Let Go."
Leo: No, I would have gone with something more like "Women Who Hate Too Much."
Greenlee: So what do we do? Short of a lobotomy?
Leo: Well, I prefer the hands-on method myself. Lie down on the bed.
Greenlee: Are we playing doctor now?
Leo: Ha! Dr. du Pres. I like the sound of that. No, too much work. Lay down. Ok, relax. Close your eyes. Get comfortable. There you go. Clear your mind of any thoughts of Ryan Lavery. Completely clear your mind. Bring all your attention to the strong, manly hands that are caressing your temple. That's it. That's it. Nothing else matters. There you go.

Arlene: How long does it take to go to the drugstore anyway? I don't know why you keep that Winifred around.
Adam: She'll be here long after you're gone.
Arlene: You know, you're going to have to hire more staff. I'll need a baby nurse before I deliver.
Adam: Oh, stop it. Stop it! As soon as that pregnancy test turns out negative, you're out on the sidewalk.

[Door closes]

Arlene: Well, it's about time. I could have had triplets by now. Ooh, good. Be back in a jiffy.
Adam: No, no. Hold it right there. Winifred, go with her. Don't take your eyes off her.
Winifred: Follow her into the bathroom, Sir?
Adam: Yeah.
Winifred: Oh, I would really rather not.
Adam: Winifred, that's an order. Don't let her out of your sight.
Arlene: Oh, come on, Winnie. I won't bite.

Liza: Hi.
Joe: Hi.
Liza: How's Jake feeling?
Joe: Well, for a man who's just been shot, very well. I think one more test and he'll probably be heading home.
Liza: Well, I was thinking maybe I could bring Colby over as a surprise. Or do you think it's too soon?
Joe: Well, I tell you. I think, why don't we wait until he asks for her. That way we'll be sure that he's ready.
Liza: Of course. I just thought it might cheer him up.
Joe: Oh, I know it will. Well, I've got to go and welcome a new group of interns. Hate to think how many times I've given this speech. I'll see you later.

Liza: I should go, too. I have dinner plans. Will you call me from the plane?
Tad: Sure.

Jake: Hey. Dad leave?
Tad: No, no, he's -- he's going to be back in a few minutes.
Jake: Looks like the press sure cleared out of here in a hurry.
Tad: Yeah, it did. I don't know about you, but I was kind of surprised to see Adrian and Ryan show up at the press conference.
Jake: Well, not as surprised as I was to see them in Chechnya.
Tad: I'm fairly sure Ryan wants the whole world to know that he's the one that came up with the money to get you out of there.
Jake: Well, he did.
Tad: Yeah, well, now he wants to be repaid. He just hit up me and Liza for $3 million. On top of that, he wants me to intercede with the DA. Can you believe this guy?
Jake: Tad, I've read about his legal problems. Do me a favor. Just give him the money.

Gillian: There's so much I want to say to you right now. But listen, first I want to apologize to you.
Ryan: For what?
Gillian: That horrible press conference. I could see in your eyes how upset you were that I had to kiss Jake. I'm really sorry.
Ryan: I'm frustrated, Gillian. I thought we would be together by now. I just want you to tell Jake the truth. I thought that's what we both wanted.
Gillian: Yeah, it is, Ryan. I'm just -- I'm just waiting for the right opportunity.
Ryan: There is no right opportunity, Gillian. The longer you wait, the harder it's going to be.
Gillian: Ryan, please don't be angry at me. I'm just trying to find the gentlest way I can to let Jake down.
Ryan: There is no gentle way. And we're almost out of time here, Gillian. Trust me.
Gillian: What do you mean?
Ryan: Jake -- Tad knows. He just told me that we're back together again. How long do you think it's going to be before he tells Jake that?
Gillian: He saw us together?
Ry: No, not like that. He's just following his suspicions.
Gillian: Oh, God! First, Adrian and then Greenlee and now Tad, and this is just getting more and more like the whole situation with Colby.
Ryan: Which is why you've got to tell him now, Gillian. He shouldn't hear this from somebody else.
Gillian: I am trying to, Ryan! It's just -- when I'm with Jake, I get so tongue-tied.
Ryan: I understand you want to spare Jake as much as possible. So do I, but it's not going to get any easier an hour from now or a week from now or a month from now. The longer Jake stays at home, the more attached he's going to be to his old life, the more he's going to expect you to be part of that.
Gillian: You know, I should have just told him in Germany.
Ryan: So tell him now. The longer you wait, the more it's going to hurt him in the end, Gillian. Is that what you want?
Gillian: No, no.
Gillian: Ryan, just hold me.

Arlene: Well, well, well, well, well. Would you look at that? A big old plus sign. Now do you believe me?
Adam: Was the package tampered with at all?
Winifred: No, Sir.
Adam: And you didn't let it out of your sight?
Winifred: I opened the package myself, sir, and I watched every step of the process. I'm afraid it's on the up and up, Mr. Chandler.
Adam: You may go, Winifred.
Winifred: Yes, sir. I'm sorry.

Arlene: Don't you feel silly doubting me? Hmm? Go ahead. Just don't blow the smoke my direction.
Adam: You may be pregnant, but that doesn't make me the father.
Arlene: You know, Adam, you really know how to spoil a wonderful occasion. Like it or not, you're the father.
Adam: Prove it.
Arlene: Ok, I will. You know, I had a nice little conversation with the doctor that confirmed my pregnancy, and he told me I could take a DNA test in the next few weeks. So I've made an appointment, and instead of bringing Winifred along, this time you will come. And lucky you, you will find out that you're the Daddy-O.

Leo: There you go. You are floating on a tranquil stream. You are now forgetting Greenlee, Greenlee, Greenlee. Forgetting every man you've ever known. The only man you can think about is Leo du Pres. And only him.
Greenlee: Hmm, Leo du Pres. No one else exists, Doctor.
Leo: You're damn right. You're making wonderful progress. How do you feel?
Greenlee: A little woozy. I think I need a little more resuscitation.
Leo: Oh -- yes, I think you're correct.

David: What the hell's going on in here?
Leo: Do you mind?
David: Yes, of course I mind, Leo. This is a hospital, not some fleabag motel.
Greenlee: I better be going.
David: Playing doctor, Leo?
Leo: No, one doctor's quite enough in the family, thank you.
David: So tell me, do you delight in being completely inappropriate?
Leo: Did I -- did I wrinkle a bed sheet? I didn't realize you were such a stickler for housekeeping.
David: You know what I'm talking about. I thought that you were serious about Becca. And now you're messing around with this cheap little tramp?
Leo: Don't talk about Greenlee like that. She's a terrific girl.
David: She's nothing but trouble, Leo. Stay away from her.
Leo: Look, first of all, you don't get to tell me what to do.
David: I'm not telling you what to do. I'm trying to keep you from making a very big mistake.
Leo: And second of all, you are the last person who should be giving romantic advice. By the way, how's the engagement going with Erica?
David: You keep throwing that in my face and you're going to spend the rest of the day in the ER getting stitches.

Gillian: I have to meet Jake at his parents' house.
Ryan: Now? I thought Joe wanted to keep him at the hospital. You see, this is what -- this is what I was afraid of. He wants to take you home.
Gillian: No, it's not like that.
Ryan: What's it like, Gillian?
Gillian: I'm not going to spend the night there. I'm just going to -- I agreed to meet Jake there so I can finally have some time alone with him so I can tell him that I want a divorce, tonight.
Ryan: Are you sure?
Gillian: Yes.
Ryan: Ok. Well, then I will meet you at the Turret after you tell him. Look, I know how tough this is. I really do. But it's all going to work out.

Tad: You got to be kidding. You want me to bail out Ryan Lavery. Jake, if you only knew the kind of stuff that's been going on around here since you've been gone.
Jake: Tad, Tad, I don't even have to know anything. If you can shift around some money and give this guy back his $3 million, I'd really appreciate it. And if you have any pull with the DA use that, too.
Tad: Why? Why would you want to help out Ryan?
Jake: Because he saved 16 people that I care about. Plus, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to my brother if he hadn't stepped up.
Tad: You're a bigger man than I am, that's for sure.
Jake: Well, let's just say I have my own selfish reasons, all right? I don't want Gillian worrying about his legal problems. That's why I want him off the hook with the DA.
Tad: All right. I hear you.
Jake: And as for the money, Tad, I don't want to owe this guy anything. I just want him out of our lives.
Tad: You actually think paying off his debt is going to accomplish that? You really think he's just going to take the money and walk?
Jake: Well, I'm not blind, all right? And I know that he had other reasons for coming to Chechnya. And I know how he feels about Gillian, and I also put him on notice for that. But I'm back home here now. And I'm going to fight for my wife, and you can bet I'm not going to lose her to Ryan Lavery.


ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN

Erica: My daughter is slipping away from me, Jack.

Greenlee: Do you have any idea what you've done to me?

Gillian: I want us to be happy. You and me --
Jake: And Ryan?
