Liza: Hmm, Arlene, you're still here. I thought you'd be gone by now.
Arlene: Well, I was halfway out the door but a package arrived.
Liza: Really?
Arlene: Special delivery.
Liza: Take it and go.
Arlene: Easier said than done. You see, Adam has a big investment in it. It's sort of like a joint venture.
Adam: Arlene --
Liza: Adam is in business with you? Is she drunk?
Arlene: Oh, no. I'm off the sauce. Doctor's orders.
Liza: Really. Liver's shot?
Arlene: No, the hospital did a full blood panel after you and your mother tried to poison me.
Liza: You know, honestly, Arlene, I am not interested in your medical problems.
Arlene: Oh, problems? No, it's a blessing. You see, Liza, I'm going to --
Adam: It's time for you to go, Arlene. Liza and I have a date tonight.
Arlene: Ok. I'm actually going to go see Hayley. We have to do a little mother-child bonding. See you later. Have fun.

Liza: And what was that all about?
Adam: Believe me, you don't want to know.
Liza: A joint venture? Is she trying to squeeze more money out of you? Because -- give it to her. Give the money to the woman if that's going to get her out of our lives, please! Because I think that our lives should be together -- you and me and Colby. And, Adam, I -- I want that right now. I don't want to wait.

Mateo: Listen, Honey, you've been bummed out all night. Everybody's almost gone. Why don't I just close and take you home, huh?
Hayley: No, I don't want to ruin the party.
Mateo: Well, then, let's talk.
Hayley: I don't want to deal with it.

[Hayley sighs]

Hayley: But I have to.
Mateo: What's the problem?
Hayley: My mother, what else?
Mateo: Oh, now, what'd she do?
Hayley: She dropped the mother of all whammies on my dad and me. She's pregnant.
Mateo: No. No.
Hayley: Yes. Yes, she is. She's having a baby. Man, am I beyond scared for that kid.

Leo: Greenlee. Finally. I've been tracking you all night.
Greenlee: Look, Leo, I can't talk right now.
Leo: What's up? Where are you?
Greenlee: I'm taking care of some unfinished business.
Leo: Why don't you drop it and meet me at the S.O.S.?
Greenlee: Not tonight.

Leo: God. Pathetic. Hey. Did you get a hold of your mother?
Bianca: Yeah, I told her that we'd be hanging out here for a little while longer.
Leo: Did she give you a hassle?
Bianca: She wasn't thrilled, but she didn't force me to come home.
Leo: Cool.
Bianca: Now, Leo, you've helped me through the worst week of my life.
Leo: It's nice to be needed.
Bianca: You've been a really good friend. So let me return the favor.
Leo: No, we're here. It's happening.
Bianca: I'm not so caught up in my own drama that I can't see that you're thinking about something or someone. Is it Greenlee?
Leo: Yeah. I just tried to call and she basically blew me off.
Bianca: Why?
Leo: I don't know. I'm not sure, but it's a pretty safe bet that it involves Ryan Lavery.

Singer: Here in my mind we're playing every line remembering all of the love we made you told me only yesterday nothing could take your love away here in this room so many traces of you so many nights lying by your side sleeping with secrets deep inside secrets your eyes could not deny singer: Come as you are lay with me beautiful nights once more tell me with all the love in my heart I'll set you free line up the lies I've said good-bye

[Knock on door]

Ryan: Gillian?
Ryan: Greenlee, what the hell are you doing here?
Greenlee: I followed you.
Ryan: Get out!
Greenlee: You're not giving me the brush-off, Ryan. Not this time. Not after the way you ruined my life.
Ryan: Excuse me? Your life is ruined? What are you talking about?
Greenlee: I'm being exiled back to California to live with my parents. Well, to hell with that and to hell with you!

Gillian's voice: I need to know if he's going to have some chronic problem -- some back problem or mobility problem. If there's something wrong, you have to tell me. I have to know, please, Joe. Please, tell me.
Joe: Well, it's not any of those things. I don't know how I got myself into this. All right. Because of his injury, Jake may experience some loss of sexual function.

Gillian: I have to call Ryan.
Gillian: This is for me.
Gillian: It's a letter from Jake when he was in Chechnya.

Jake's voice: "My Dearest Gillian, it's late and the only sound is the bombs falling in the distance. It's impossible to sleep, and the loneliness is damn near unbearable. So I'm traveling back in time, back to Pine Valley, back to you, and the first time we made love. I'm remembering how impossibly soft your skin felt, the way your hair spilled across your shoulders, the smell of your perfume, the taste of you lips. I'm back in your arms, pacing my breathing to yours, feeling closer to heaven than I ever felt possible. Falling in love with you was a gift, Gillian, that I never expected."

[Jake walks into the room]

Jake: You're my world, Gillian, my safe harbor, my compass on the long voyage home. And I love you with all my heart and soul, in the name of everything that's good, honest, and true. I live to give you my love again.

Adam: I can't tell you how long I've waited for this.
Liza: I know. Because I've waited all my life.
Adam: My life has been an endless hell.
Liza: So has mine.
Adam: You forgive me?
Liza: Love forgives everything. And I love you very much.
Adam: Say that again.
Liza: I love you. I never stopped. I mean, I -- I was very prideful. I guess I got angry and frustrated, but then I realized that I didn't have any joy in my life. I didn't have any passion. And I thought about you and me together and -- and I want us to be the way that we used to be.
Adam: Yeah.
Liza: I want you. I love you.
Adam: I love you. I love you.

Ryan: I am not going to go another 10 rounds with you, Greenlee.
Greenlee: Well, I'm not leaving.
Ryan: Well, when you get tired of being the prima donna, then you know the way out.
Greenlee: I will not be ignored! My life is over because of you, and I'll be damned if I pay for what you did.
Ryan: I owned up to my mistakes, Greenlee. Own up to yours.
Greenlee: The only mistake I made was falling for you in the first place.
Ryan: I got a question. I got a question. Where'd you get the idea that money could buy you love?
Greenlee: What are you doing here, Ryan?
Ryan: What am I doing here? What are you doing here?
Greenlee: Oh, my God. This is where you and Gillian rendezvous to cheat on Jake. You're expecting her to dump her husband and meet you here tonight.

Gillian: This letter, Jake -- it's beautiful.
Jake: Well, it doesn't even come close to saying what I feel.
Gillian: You didn't send it. Why?
Jake: Because words don't cut it. I wanted to show you what you mean to me.
Gillian: I don't know what to say.
Jake: Well, why don't you let me start. Gillian, when I think back of how I left pine valley and went overseas and left you, I was so mixed up. And I just want you to know that I didn't leave here because of you. I left here because of everything else that went wrong. And if I could go back in time and do it all over again, I'd never leave you, Gillian. I'd never let you go. Because when I was in Chechnya, I realized that there were two things that kept me alive, and that was you and my family. And now that I'm back, I see that you've just given my life a purpose that I've never known before.
Gillian: Jake, so much has happened.
Jake: I know. And I know we can't go back. But we can start over, Gillian. And we can take it step by step. And I'd never pressure you, but I've given up on us once and I'm not going to make that mistake again. Because I know, Gillian, in all of my heart, that the two of us together, we can handle anything that life throws at us. If you believe in that, you can believe in it the way that I do. We're home free.

Hayley: You know, just when I think we've gotten Arlene out of our lives --
Mateo: Wait. Wait wait. How do we know she's really pregnant? Has she taken a test?
Hayley: Hospital blood test and a do-it-yourself kit, both positive.
Mateo: That's unreal. I mean --
Hayley: It'll be real enough in eight months or less.
Mateo: What'd your dad say?
Hayley: Well, he wasn't exactly passing out cigars. As a matter of fact, he wanted to boot Arlene to the far side of the moon, but I talked him out of it. He's agreed to let her stay, at least until the baby's born.
Mateo: We have to keep an eye on your mom, all right, make sure she takes care of that baby because I don't trust her.
Hayley: Are you kidding me? That baby can't compete with Arlene. She does whatever she wants whenever she wants. If she wants to have a drink, she'll have that drink. If she wants to shack up with some loser for a one-night stand, then that's what she's going to do. That baby doesn't stand a shot. You know, and it's not fair, Mateo, because I eat right, you know, and I take vitamins and I still can't get pregnant. My mother treats her body like a landfill and she is having a baby.

Arlene: Hey, Sweetie. Did you tell Mateo the wonderful news? What does a mama-to-be have to do to get a drink around here, huh?

Bianca: Admit it, Leo. I've seen you and Greenlee together. You guys obviously have something going.
Leo: Yeah, well, it's the direction that I'm worried about.
Bianca: Complications?
Leo: Nothing is simple with Greenlee Smythe.
Bianca: Right. She's a total drama queen.
Leo: Oh, you noticed? With Greenlee, everything is the highest high or the lowest low. She could be eating ice cream and it is the best butter pecan in the world. Some dude cuts her off on the freeway and he's the biggest SOB on the planet. And get her started on Ryan Lavery --
Bianca: Your competition?
Leo: He used to be the only man she'd ever love. Except now she hates his guts.
Bianca: Sounds to me like Shakespeare 101. You know, the lady protesting too much.
Leo: Yeah, well, wherever Ryan is tonight, I'm sure Greenlee's not far behind.
Bianca: So, you going to go after her?
Leo: What, jump through hoops and fall flat on my face? No, I think I'll pass, thank you very much. She can chase him until her legs fall off. I don't care. I'm moving on.

Greenlee: Ryan, you are so -- you have no class! No conscience! No scruples whatsoever!
Ryan: And you are so incredibly pristine, aren't you?
Greenlee: I'm not cheating on my husband his first night back from the trenches.
Ryan: Gillian is not cheating on Jake!
Greenlee: He knows about you two? Since when? Who told him?
Ryan: She's telling him tonight.
Greenlee: "Welcome home from the war, Jake. Here's your mail. And by the way, I'm dumping you for my ex." Get a clue! Jake is not going to just let Gillian walk out of his life. You saw him at the press conference, the way he looked at her, the way he kissed her. He is out of his mind in love with his wife. He put up one hell of a fight for those orphans, and you can bet he'll fight for Gillian.

Gillian: Jake, there's -- there's no one like you. I've always known that.
Gillian: You know, when I was in that car crash, you took such great care of me. You taught me how to talk again.
Jake: Well, see, sometimes I think that I taught you a little too well because I miss the way that you mangled the English language.
Gillian: You saved my life. And -- after that accident, you were so patient and so kind to me and you cheered me every step of my recovery. And then when you asked me to marry you, I was so sure that we were meant to be together. And then everything just fell apart and you lost Colby.
Jake: And we lost Colby.
Gillian: And we lost each other. Jake, you didn't even say good-bye to me when you left Pine Valley.
Jake: I know. I know, and, Gillian, I was hurting and I was stupid.
Gillian: And I thought that you stopped loving me.
Jake: Never.
Gillian: Jake, you -- you just left! And I didn't blame you. I don't blame you for one second. I lied to you. I lied to myself. And when you were gone, I struggled to try and figure out where I fit into your life and where you fit into mine.
Jake: I know that it was really rough for you with me leaving and you being gone here and you being all alone. And I'm not the kind of guy who expected you to sit around and wait for me to come home to start living your life. I'd never do that. I had no right to do that. Certainly not after the way that I treated you.
Gillian: Jake, I really, really thought we were over.
Jake: So did I. Until I got a taste of life and death on a war zone with bombs dropping all around me and beautiful children dying in my arms. And I thought of you, and I realized how much that I had to live for. And you came over there, Gillian, and you took me out of there and you brought me back home. And that's why you're my lifeline. And I know you're confused, and I don't even know where you're at right now, but I want you to know that I'm here. And I'm here for you. And you just grab a hold of me and you don't let go.

Mateo: What's your pleasure, Mom? 1%, 2%, Nonfat?
Arlene: Oh, Moo Juice? Have to pay me to drink that.
Hayley: Well, nobody's going to pay you to take care of your baby, Arlene, and the baby needs calcium.
Arlene: Hayley is taking care of me and her little sister.
Hayley: Actually it's too soon to tell if it's a girl.
Arlene: Well, I'm hoping.
Hayley: Right. The daughter you never had.
Arlene: Sweetie, I missed a lot of your growing up.
Hayley: Blackouts will do that.
Arlene: Ahem. Mateo, skip the milk. I'll have a diet soda.
Mateo: Right.
Hayley: Oh, great. So you can pour whatever you've got in your flask into the caffeine. Do the words "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome" mean anything to you?
Arlene: You know, for your information, I'm doing this pregnancy by the book. I am swearing off the booze and I've tossed away --
Hayley: What book would that be, specifically? The bartender's manual? Shouldn't you be home and in bed?
Arlene: Well, I would be if Adam weren't entertaining. He's telling Liza the great news of the unexpected visitor.
Hayley: Oh, don't expect Liza to throw you a shower.
Arlene: Oh, you know what? Skip it. I got to go.
Hayley: Wow, I never thought I'd see you say that with a smile on your face.
Arlene: Well, if I'm lucky, I'll get to see Liza leaving with her tail between her legs.
Hayley: Miraculous! Your flask has a homing device!
Arlene: Well, if I had had a chance, I would have tossed it away. I just didn't get it.
Hayley: Oh, my God.
Arlene: Good night, sweetie. Talk to you later.

Hayley: What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to stand back and let my mother just decimate this little baby's life?
Mateo: It doesn't have to be that way. This kid could have a real shot at the future with us.
Hayley: What do you mean?
Mateo: Well, we want a baby, right?
Hayley: Yeah.
Mateo: We're going to adopt your mom's.

Bianca: So what if Greenlee finally got Ryan Lavery out of her system?
Leo: Lavery's not the only problem. It's the endless games.
Bianca: Battle of the sexes?
Leo: Greenlee's made that an Olympic event. I need a lover, not a competitor.
Bianca: So, what, you want to call it a night?
Leo: Sure. You up to facing your mom?
Bianca: I think I might just stick around here for a while. I'll take a cab home.
Leo: That's fine. I can stay.
Bianca: Quick, call "The Exposer." "Erica Kane's Daughter Behind the Eight Ball." Wouldn't my mom love that?
Leo: All right I hear you. But you're sure you're all right here?
Bianca: Yeah, I'm fine. How about you? Ok about Greenlee?
Leo: You kidding me? Greenlee doesn't know what she's missing, Bianca. Ciao. I'll talk to you later.

Ryan: We belong together. If you can't accept that and if the Martins can't accept that, well, you're just going to have to live with it because me living without Gillian is not an option.
Greenlee: Her husband's going to have something to say about that.
Ryan: Well, if he loves her half as much as I do, then he's going to fight for her, but he's not going to win.
Greenlee: Ooh, tough guy Ryan, taking on a war casualty. Ryan: Listen to me. Jake saved Gillian's life and then he saved my life, but I saved his life, so he and I, we're even.
Greenlee: Really? Aren't you trying to steal his wife?
Ryan: Why am I -- look, Gillian and I hate the fact that Jake's going to get hurt, ok? But she loves me. She wants to be with me, all right, and pretending that she doesn't isn't fair to anybody. Jake especially.
Greenlee: You and I are a lot alike, you know that?
Ryan: Really. Well, that's very frightening.
Greenlee: That's true. We keep reaching for what we want, and what we want is almost always unreachable, but that doesn't stop us. We keep reaching until someone gets hurt, you know? Sometimes that someone is the other guy, but most of the time it's us.
Ryan: How many times do I have to tell you, Greenlee -- I didn't mean to hurt you.
Greenlee: But you did, so I set out to hurt you. But looking at you here, in this fairy-tale castle, waiting here for your little princess -- I realize that I don't have to lift a finger to hurt you. Jake Martin will do it for me. I wish I could be here to see it.

Jake: Gillian, I've said all I can say. I'm going to head upstairs and go to bed.

Joe: Gillian?

[Leo sighs]

Greenlee: What's your problem? You should be thrilled. I hate Ryan -- madly, passionately, deeply --
Leo: Yeah, and you said the same thing before only you used the L word. It all sounds the same to me.
Greenlee: You can't be jealous. Leo, I hate Ryan to the bone. I'll spend as long as it takes to make sure he paid for what he did to me.

Greenlee: You look far away.
Leo: Actually, I was sort of close.
Greenlee: I didn't expect to find you here.
Leo: Yeah, well, I wasn't waiting for you.
Leo: How's Ryan?
Greenlee: How'd you know I was with Ryan?
Leo: If there's one thing I've learned about you, Greenlee, it's that you always make a play for the obvious.
Greenlee: I scared myself tonight. I parked in front of Ryan's loft and I followed him to Wildwind.
Leo: Why?
Greenlee: Beats the hell out of me. I guess I just wanted to make him suffer.
Leo: Did it work?
Greenlee: No. But I learned something. I'm over him, Leo. I'm really, finally over him.
Leo: Yeah, well, you'll understand if it's -- that's a little hard for me to believe, Greenlee.
Greenlee: I don't blame you. But it doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. I'm out of your life, too.
Leo: Why? You joining the convent?
Greenlee: Might as well be. My grandparents found out about Wade, the three million I borrowed, the whole damn mess. They're sending me back to California.
Leo: This is a joke, right?
Greenlee: No, Leo. It's good-bye.

Hayley: You want to adopt Arlene's baby? Are you serious?
Mateo: Dead serious. Your mom had a flask in her purse. I mean, she has no business raising a kid. What kind of life would the kid have to look forward to?
Hayley: Well, I wouldn't wish my childhood on anyone.
Mateo: Exactly. We're breaking that cycle, all right? We're breaking -- we're stopping that. At least, in our family, in our home, that kid would be wanted, it would be loved.
Hayley: I like the sound of that.
Mateo: And it's not like the baby will be alone. I mean, we're going to have kids of our own, right? You know, and he'll have lots of brothers and sisters to play with.
Hayley: Like you had.
Mateo: Yeah, I had a great life growing up. I really did, and, well, it's getting better every day with you. And we have so much to give, so much to share.
Hayley: You're so amazing. I love you.

Liza: Let's go upstairs.
Adam: No, I -- I want to --
Liza: Well, what's stopping you?
Adam: Sweetheart, I -- I hate spoiling a perfect moment like this, but I -- we have to talk about Arlene.
Liza: Oh -- you know, I don't know what the situation is with Arlene, but it can wait. We'll talk about it later and then we'll deal with it. We'll deal with it together.

Arlene: Don't start something you can't finish, Liza, or you'll end up like me -- in the family way.
Liza: Hmm. Well, bluff away, Arlene.
Arlene: No, it's true. Why don't you tell her, Adam? Huh? We're expecting.
Liza: Adam?
Adam: Yeah, it's true. I'm afraid it's true. Arlene is pregnant.
Arlene: Isn't it great? Your Colby can be a big sister to my little baby.

Gillian: Joe, I just -- I hate what's happened to Jake. He deserves so much better. It wasn't suppose to be this way.
Joe: I know.
Gillian: He loves me.
Joe: Of course. Does that surprise you?
Gillian: No. No. No, he has a tremendous heart and he wants to give it to me.
Joe: Gillian, I didn't tell you about Jake's injury to make you feel guilty.
Gillian: I know.
Joe: He'd be very upset if he knew I told you and that's not just because of pride.
Gillian: I know. I know that, too, Joe.
Joe: Jake has been, for years now, trying to find himself. But he found what he's looking for in you and in Colby. All of a sudden his life has started to make sense. He's been making plans for the future. Believe me, that's very rare. For my son, it's a first. Before that he was just content to drift wherever life happened to take him. I think that's one of the reasons he's always loved sailing so much. But you have changed that. You have changed him. You're the one, Gillian. His search has ended with you.
Gillian: I just -- I just feel so helpless.
Joe: Well, look, now he's got one hell of a fight on his hands, and he can't win it by himself. He needs you by his side. Please, Gillian, don't desert him. My son needs you.

Mateo: Hey.
Hayley: Hmm.
Mateo: So, you been thinking about what I said?
Hayley: It's all I can think about.
Mateo: I think we can do it -- you, me, your mom's kid. Are we good to go?
Hayley: We are good to go.

Liza: Adam, please tell me that she's drunk or that you're lying for her.
Adam: No. Neither. That's what I was trying to tell you, Liza.
Liza: Who's the father?
Arlene: Oh, it's Adam's. No doubt about it. See, I'm staying here. Adam insisted.
Adam: Hayley intervened. She convinced me that it would be better off for the baby if Arlene stayed here for now.
Liza: Well, you just don't stop, do you? You'll do anything to keep your claws in him.
Arlene: No, no, no. You see, you got it wrong. Adam found me in bed. In fact, he was so persistent, that we didn't even have time to use protection.
Liza: You are beneath contempt.
Adam: Liza, Liza, don't let her get to you. We can work this out.
Liza: No, don't touch me. You think this child that you're carrying is your ticket to ride? You're going to get exactly what's coming to you. I promise you.
Adam: Liza -- Liza, wait!

Arlene: Well, I hope that Winnie has stocked the fridge. I have this sudden craving for pistachio ice cream.

Leo: You're not going to California. You're not going anywhere without me.
Greenlee: I've got the orders on high from the grandparents. I'm banished to La Jolla, land of sun and surf.
Leo: We'll fight back. We'll devise a battle plan. We'll get Woody and Millie to reverse their decision.
Greenlee: How?
Leo: How. How -- I'll call David, have you quarantined. We'll have him say that you came down with a galloping case of the dengue fever. If that doesn't work, we'll go underground. We'll survive on our wits, which, on the surface sounds scary, but we'll manage. We'll assume new identities. I'll be Natasha, you be Boris.
[Greenlee kisses Leo]

Leo: What was that for?
Greenlee: A thank-you.
Leo: For what?
Greenlee: For being ultimately, wonderfully reachable.

Joe: Your life and your decisions are all your own. I don't mean to pressure you, but my son needs you. Help him to heal if you can.

Singer: I closed my eyes, begin to pray then tears of joy stream down my face with arms wide open under the sunlight welcome to this place I'll show you everything with arms wide open singer: With arms wide open --
Singer: Well, I don't know if I'm ready to be the man I have to be I'll take a breath I'll take her by my side we stand in awe I'll show you everything oh, yeah with arms wide open wide open --


ON THE NEXT - - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Erica: You lied to me.

Dimitri: Tonight I was the only person standing between you and a big mistake.

Jake: I've never felt so alive as when I do right now and I want to show you.
