[ "Angelina offers to sing at Kevin and Chloe's wedding and won't take no for an answer. Angelo promises Kevin that he can take a vacation from babysitting Angelina to have a honeymoon with Chloe but only if he allows Angelina to sing at his wedding. Devon tells Angelina to think carefully about the words to the new song he wrote for Chloe and Kevin and sing it like she has felt so much love for a man that she never wants to be away from. Angelina does that and starts singing very well but only when Kevin is watching her sing. When he isn't there, she sings off key again. Angelina wants to make sure that Kevin takes her along on his honeymoon with Chloe, so she calls her old boyfriend Carmine for help.", "Jack and Genevieve plan their wedding for next month and Genevieve is happy to spend her first Christmas with her fiance. Lauren, Michael, Victoria and Nick are shocked when Tucker casts the deciding vote for CEO in favor of Adam. Michael later goes to visit Victor who confides that everything is going according to his plan. Michael hopes that Victor's plan works, and Victor smiles because his plan is already working. Deacon quits his job at Gloworm, because Nikki needs him. Gloria congratulates Nikki on her marriage and tells her that Deacon was working at the bar all night the night that Diane was killed, so she should be happy that at least she has a husband that doesn't go around killing attractive blondes. Nikki goes to Victor to tell him what Gloria told her about Deacon. Nikki tells Deacon that he better beg for his job back, because she knows that he lied to her and he was working at the bar all night. Nikki tells Deacon that she is going to annul the marriage and he had better take the large check she is offering him because that is all he will get from her. Nikki tells Deacon that she is taking her life back starting right now.", "" ]

[ "Lauren: Okay, so the board isn't here to vote yet. You feel okay?", "Michael: Huh? Uh... Victor does not want me to push Nick to be appointed as C.E.O. I'm afraid that he has some plan that involves... Adam taking over.", "Lauren: Oh, please. Victor knows we've got math in our favor. Nick, Victoria, and I are gonna vote for Nicholas, and with seven board members, we only need one member as the swing vote to win. (Chuckles) And here comes \"Mr. Swing\" now.

Uh, the Newman board of directors is selecting a new C.E.O. today. Adam here is in the running.", "Genevieve: Hmm.", "Adam: Almost sounds like you want me to win, Jack, not your former stepson. Why is that?", "Jack: Well, I'm not exactly waving the Adam flag, but I am in full support of economic growth and development.", "Adam: As long as it benefits you and Jabot, right?", "Jack: Especially then.", "Adam: See you later, Jack.", "Genevieve: That was interesting.", "Jack: That arrogant S.O.B. has burned me more than once.", "Genevieve: Aha. And you're willing to stick your hand back in the fire again?", "Jack: Eh, what's a little singe, if I can manage to get Beauty of Nature in return?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: And I obviously need at least one tier to be red velvet.", "Gloria: (Laughs) Got it.", "Deacon: Excuse me, Gloria, may I speak with you for a second?", "Gloria: Of course, you can, Deacon, but first, I'm gonna need you for more shifts this jingle-bell season, and that includes Chloe and Kevin's wedding reception tomorrow.", "Deacon: Uh... Chloe, Deacon. Hi.", "Chloe: Hi.", "Deacon: Uh, no offense, but, uh, I'm gonna have to take a pass on that.", "Gloria: (Laughing) That's funny.", "Deacon: Yeah? If you think that's funny, you're gonna think this is absolutely hilarious. This is me quitting. Bye-bye.", "Chloe: (Laughs) Okay, you don't understand. I have guests coming here tomorrow, and they need to be served red drinks.", "Gloria: (With clenched teeth) And I have lots of ladies who come in here to look at your glutes.", "Deacon: Well, the only person who's gonna be looking at my glutes is my new bride. She happens to need all of my love and attention right now.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Woman: You. Time to go.", "Nikki: Ohh.", "Victoria: Hi.", "Nikki: Oh, I'm so happy to see you.", "Victoria: Mm.", "Nikki: Oh, you didn't have to come.", "Victoria: Of course we're gonna come.", "Nikki: I know, but isn't the board meeting right now?", "Nick: Don't worry about that. That can wait.", "Victoria: (Chuckles)", "Nikki: (Sighs) Well, I-- well, I am sober, I'm alert, and I know exactly what I have to do.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Go home. You have spent enough time in prison.", "Sharon: Is it worth it, protecting Nikki by doing this to yourself?", "Victor: (Sighs)", "Gloria: Come on, Deacon. Two weeks' notice.", "Deacon: No.", "Gloria: One week.", "Deacon: (Laughs) No. I can't do it, Gloria.", "Gloria: Come on, come on.", "Deacon: No, I can't.", "Gloria: One lousy day.", "Deacon: I'm sorry. I can't do it. Listen, Chloe, I hope that you and your new husband will be as happy as me and my new bride. Gloria, it's been a treat. Have a nice day, Ladies.", "Gloria: Your glutes ain't that great.", "Chloe: Overrated. All right, you know what? I-I'm just gonna go meet Kevin. I've gotta make sure he's, you know, doing a good job with the décor. I'll talk to you later. I got--", "Gloria: Chloe, Chloe. Before you go... I said some pretty hurtful things about you when you and Kevin broke up, but you gotta understand, I was hurt, too.

I need to, uh... (Clears throat) Hone my instrument, you know.", "Devon: Okay. Hey, I need to talk to you about the music for the ceremony. I went ahead and wrote you guys a little something.", "Kevin: You did? That's awesome. Thanks.", "Devon: Yeah.", "Angelina: It's better than that. It's perfect. (Gasps) Devon will play, I'll sing. Oh, my God, best idea ever.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: Tucker, it is imperative that Nick be C.E.O.

So you know exactly who and what Adam is. Have I told you how happy I am that you're on the board?", "Tucker: Well, thanks. So am I.", "Lauren: Oh, would you excuse me for a minute?", "Tucker: Yeah.", "Lauren: Bob, Davis. Um, can I have a word?", "Bob: Sure.", "Lauren: Great.", "Adam: Tucker. Just the man I was hoping to see. It occurred to me that somebody could have gotten the wrong idea from our recent conversation.", "Tucker: Wrong idea, how?", "Adam: Well, that I might have been proposing an illicit quid pro quo, special favors in return for your vote. It couldn't be further from the truth.", "Tucker: Okay. No misunderstanding, then.", "Adam: Glad to hear it. It seems my brother has priorities other than Newman business.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: We're still worried about you, Mom. I mean, how did things get so bad?", "Nick: Did you really think Victoria had something to do with Diane's death?", "Nikki: I'm so sorry for all the nonsense I said. I didn't mean any of it.", "Nick: Mom, we're not looking for an apology.", "Victoria: No, we're not. It's just, you know, we want to--we want to help you.", "Nikki: And you can help me. You can help by trusting me. I-I know that's a lot to ask right now, but I am ready to make things better in my life. I am ready to move on, and I'm gonna do it right now.", "Victoria: Okay. (Clears throat) We have faith in you, don't we?", "Nikki: All right, well, then, go. Don't let Adam get that C.E.O. seat.", "Nick: All right. You'll get something to eat?", "Nikki: Yes, yes, yes, I will get something to eat.", "Victoria: Mwah! That's the Mom I know.", "Nikki: Good luck.", "Victoria: All right, thank you.", "Nick: Love you, Mom.", "Nikki: Love you too, Sweetie.", "Gloria: And...", "Nikki: Oh.", "Gloria: Here you go.", "Nikki: Thank you.", "Gloria: No, no, no, Nikki, thank you. Your husband just quit.", "Nikki: Well, Gloria, I'm sure there are a number of talented bartenders who would love to work here.", "Gloria: True, but at holiday time, it's inconvenient.", "Nikki: Well, I understand I missed quite a lot of excitement in the last few months.", "Gloria: (Chuckles) Well, according to that vicious article, you didn't miss Diane's murder. Not that I put any stock in that trash, and now that Victor's confessed--", "Nikki: You know, it seems...", "Gloria: Never saw that coming.", "Nikki: Like everybody in town has been a suspect.", "Gloria: But nobody from the Gloworm family, thank God. Not even your new husband. He had an alibi right off the bat, because he was here all night.", "Nikki: Really? He was here?", "Gloria: Well, at least you know this husband doesn't go around whacking attractive blondes. Enjoy.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Does Nikki appreciate the sacrifices you've made for her? I mean, does she even know what you've done?", "Victor: As I've said, my confession was the right thing to do.", "Sharon: You know when I was locked up... you hired Avery for me. You convinced Nicholas to bring Faith to court so I could see her. That and your visits are what gave me hope. I'm not about to walk away now that our positions are switched.", "Victor: But you see, there's a difference. You belong out there, and I belong in here.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: Sing? At my wedding?", "Angelina: You're welcome.", "Kevin: You can't. It--it's--it's too kind.", "Angelina: Daddy would want me to do this for you, and we want to keep daddy happy, right? Come on. Let's rehearse. I got a great idea for a song. (Singing off-key) Oh, baby I saw you grindin' on the dance floor", "Devon: Oh, wow.", "Angelina: And you know that I want some more, more", "Daniel: (Humming)", "Angelina: So kind.", "Devon: Oh, yeah.", "Kevin: Hit me with this. The corner, right into my temple, hard as you can. One blunt shot, it'll--", "Daniel: It's not that bad. Maybe Chloe'll be cool with it.", "Chloe: (Gasps) Ohh, it's so insanely cute!", "Kevin: (Laughs)", "Chloe: (Gasps) Look at--ohh.", "Kevin: Oh, good, you like it. That's great.", "Angelina: Runnin' with you don't leave me behind", "Chloe: Why is \"Mafia princess\" screeching in the chapel?", "Angelina: Take me away I'll be by your side", "Chloe: Oh, no, no, no. She is not singing at the wedding, because you would never let that happen.", "Angelina: Out of the light living your secrets... (Singing off-key) Runnin' with you out of the light living your secrets let's burn through the night", "Devon: Angelina, Angelina. I want you to listen to the words that you're singing, okay? The song is about loving someone so much that you can't live without 'em. You know what that feels like?", "Angelina: My father hired a full-time babysitter so that Carmine doesn't come anywhere near me. I get it.", "Devon: Okay, then sing it like you mean it.", "Angelina: (Singing off-key) Runnin' with you out of the light living your secrets let's burn through the night (singing tunefully) Riding with you don't leave me behind take me away I'll be by your side riding with you I'll dance in your fire I'll be all you desire", "Devon: What was that?", "Angelina: Hmm?", "Devon: Uh, my implant is either on the fritz, or you sounded really, really good.", "Angelina: (Chuckles)", "Kevin: Uh, you guys should, uh, get back to the studio. I think Daniel wants to hear some more.", "Daniel: Yes, absolutely. I-I do.", "Angelina: Without you? Yeah, that'll happen.", "Kevin: Uh, Devon and Daniel will be on \"Keep Carmine away\" duty, okay?", "Angelina: Daddy's gonna be P.O.'d. (Chuckles) Good luck with that. Oh, and, uh, I need to know where we're going for the honeymoon. Like, you know, how many bikinis should I bring?", "Devon: We'll figure that out.", "Daniel: (Clears throat) We should go.", "Devon: Yeah.", "Daniel: Yep.", "Devon: See you, guys.", "Kevin: Bye.", "Chloe: See you. Hmm?", "Kevin: I wanted to ask you about the three wise men--", "Chloe: Hey, excuse me. \"Meadow soprano\" is not singing at our wedding, and she is not coming on our honeymoon.", "Kevin: A 4-bedroom house, Chloe. A playroom for Delia and the closet of your dreams, the one you've always--", "Chloe: Oh, the closet better be just like the one that Big made for Carrie.", "Kevin: It's gonna be bigger. It's gonna be even bigger. We just have to humor Angelo for a little bit longer, and we can take our honeymoon anytime.", "Chloe: (Clicks lips) Oh, no, you didn't. Yeah, you did. (Sighs) You just did.", "Kevin: I'm gonna fix this.", "Chloe: Yeah. Yeah, you will.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Gloria: (Singing fanfare)", "Angelo: Congrats on your upcoming nuptials.", "Genevieve: How thoughtful. Thank you.", "Gloria: Mm, well, love and romance are my specialty. I'm doing my son Kevin's wedding reception here tomorrow. Maybe we can do yours.", "Angelo: Oh, she has an eye for elegance. Excuse me.", "Gloria: (Chuckles) Have you set a date? I can always check my book.", "Jack: No, we've set no date.", "Gloria: All right, well, it's never too late to start on the menu.", "Genevieve: Gee, thanks for the champagne.", "Gloria: Mm-hmm. (Chuckles) Enjoy.", "Genevieve: Jack.", "Jack: Yeah?", "Genevieve: You love to torture her.", "Jack: She has it coming.", "Genevieve: (Laughs)", "Jack: She cost me Jabot.", "Genevieve: But you got it back. You won.", "Jack: I did, didn't I? And now things are only getting better. Jabot is gonna be bigger than ever.", "Genevieve: We're back to the Newman meeting, aren't we?", "Jack: Whoever wins the seat of C.E.O. has exactly what I need.", "Genevieve: Huh, and here I thought I had that honor.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Victor, you're innocent, and you're too stubborn to admit that this is all about protecting your family.", "Victor: You know, there was a time when you were very angry with me. Just remember that feeling.", "Sharon: I bet that you've had to spend more than one Christmas alone when you were a child.", "(Door opens)", "Nikki: Thank you. Oh. Um, I'll wait outside.", "Sharon: No, no, that's okay. I'll--I'll come back.", "Victor: How are you?", "Nikki: Oh, Victor. I'm so sorry to have put all of you through this, acting like a drunken fool.", "Victor: You're ill.", "Nikki: No. I am a lush, and... possibly more. I mean, maybe I'm the one who should be in here.", "Victor: (Sighs) I don't want to discuss this with you any longer, all right?", "Nikki: Victor, I was too drunk to remember what happened in the park, but that's over. I am determined to find out what happened to me that night.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: Sorry we're late.", "Adam: I honestly didn't think you'd make it.", "Victoria: Well, Dad brought you back to Newman, but the last thing this company needs is you as C.E.O.", "Michael: All righty. Since I'm not a board member, I will excuse myself, but Victor Newman asked that whomever is elected C.E.O... read that to the board.", "Nick: Of course.", "Lauren: All right, shall we get started? We have two candidates for C.E.O.-- Nicholas Newman and Adam Newman. We are a board of seven, so the C.E.O. will be selected by a majority vote of at least four. Now rather than get into a lengthy debate, I suggest we go straight to the vote.", "Victoria: Seconded.", "Adam: I'll go first. Obviously, I'm voting for myself.", "Bob: Adam Newman.", "Davis: Agreed.", "Lauren: Then that appears that the remainder is for Nicholas.", "Adam: Why don't we just poll everyone, as a formality?", "Lauren: Fine. I stand behind Nicholas.", "Victoria: As do I.", "Nick: I vote for myself.", "Lauren: Tucker.", "Tucker: Well, looks like I'm the speed bump. I haven't made up my mind yet.", "Nick: (Sighs)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: And then I learned from Gloria that Deacon was at work at Gloworm all night that night that Diane was killed. He couldn't have seen anybody. He wasn't at the park. He couldn't see me. He couldn't see Victoria. He didn't know what was going on. He was working, and I believed every word of it. I was such an easy mark. I mean, there I was, just getting drunk in Genoa City. I should have been in rehab, learning how to be sober.", "Victor: (Sighs) (Exhales slowly) None of this is your fault. I can see to it that Deacon is shipped out of here tonight.", "Nikki: Thank you for offering that, Victor, but I want the pleasure of dealing with Deacon all by myself.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Genevieve: Summer's pretty much a classic.", "Jack: Oh, we're gonna wait that long?", "Genevieve: (Laughs) Okay. Spring?", "Jack: How about January?", "Genevieve: Wow. Someone's impatient.", "Jack: Someone's in love.", "Genevieve: Wow. Okay, January it is.", "Jack: Oh, we got--", "Genevieve: Oh.", "Jack: We got a deal, I got a phone call to make.", "Genevieve: You do?", "Jack: Hi, this is Jack Abbott. Fi-fine, everyone's doing great. I was hoping I could stop by the rectory to talk to someone about a January wedding.", "Genevieve: Oh, my gosh.", "Jack: Right.", "Angelo: That's just what I like to hear-- love that can't wait, and may I say, with a lady like yourself, I can understand where this guy's coming from.", "Genevieve: You're quite the charmer, aren't you?", "Kevin: (Clears throat)", "Angelo: Whoa, oh, oh, oh. Where's my girl?", "Kevin: She's perfectly safe with Devon and Daniel.", "Angelo: She should be perfectly safe with you.", "Kevin: (Sighs) Okay, we need to talk about that--calmly, away from any sharp instruments.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: If she thinks that she's coming on my honeymoon--", "Daniel: What? Oh, come on. Kevin's gonna figure it out. The guy would do anything for you. You know that you're-- you're like the center of his universe, right?", "Chloe: Yeah, I know, I-I get it, I get it. Jeez.", "Daniel: That's... not a bad thing.", "Chloe: I know. I know. I love him. I love him, too. He's the... float to my boat... (Laughs) The cherry on my sundae, the cutesy and whatever.", "Daniel: Okay, okay. I get it. I believe you. Fine. (Clears throat)", "Chloe: You should. You should believe me.", "Daniel: (Clicks tongue) Of course, you know there is... lowercase \"Love,\" and then there's uppercase love.", "Chloe: And you think that someone who's planning a wedding that has lowercase love is an idiot, don't you?", "Daniel: No. No, I just-- I think that before you get up to that altar, you should be certain exactly what case yours is.", "Chloe: Mm-hmm.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: Well, maybe you aren't aware of my background in the company. I was C.O.O. for several years. I also served as C.E.O. with Victoria.", "Victoria: You know, other than getting arrested repeatedly, all that Adam has done is tank a hedge fund and draw fire from the S.E.C.", "Lauren: You will not find a more honorable businessman than Nicholas.", "Tucker: What about your boy's?", "Davis: Adam is all business. Victor brought him back to Newman for a reason.", "Victoria: I mean, you can't seriously want Adam to represent this company to the public. He's morally bankrupt.", "Bob: And Nick punched a guy at the Athletic Club yesterday.", "Nick: (Laughs) Adam has been in charge before. We're still trying to recover from that.", "Adam: Our family issues are no secret. Tucker, you're a businessman. You take risks, protect your interests, make money, as do I, as I did on Wall Street. So are we gonna worry about playing nice, or are we gonna run a corporation here?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: I know what I feel. I feel uppercase... l-o-v-e love. (Sighs)", "Daniel: All right, good. Well, there you go, then. You know, Kevin's the best. I mean, I've never had a friend like him.", "Chloe: Me, neither, and tomorrow, I'm gonna walk down that aisle, and I'm gonna capital-\"L\" him forever.", "Angelina: (Singing off-key) Riding with you don't leave me behind take me away I'll be by your side riding with you out of the light living your secrets let's burn through the night riding with--", "Devon: All right. Hey, what--what's, uh, what's going on with you? The--that mojo that you had back at the church-- you need to get that back.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: We're talking about my honeymoon, Angelo. How am I gonna keep Carmine away from Angelina if I'm... doing honeymoon things with my wife? So for her sake and mine, why don't you let me take my honeymoon without Angelina coming along for the ride?", "Angelo: (Laughs) What do you think, I don't understand romance? Gah. The week is yours.", "Kevin: (Sighs) Thank you.", "Angelo: But that house just got smaller. Just three bedrooms, and maybe no fireplace.", "Kevin: Well, a fireplace isn't gonna matter if my wife kills me.", "Angelo: Yeah, she's a feisty one.", "Kevin: Right. And since this is going so well...", "Angelo: Mm-hmm.", "Kevin: One more thing. Um... Angelina wants to sing at my wedding, and--", "Angelo: Oh, why didn't you tell me that first? This is wonderful! I mean, is that what they're rehearsing over there? Come on, let's go get an earful.", "Kevin: Yeah, let's go do that.", "Angelo: (Laughs) Besides, you ain't on vacation yet, and if you let that no- good bum Carmine get near my baby, forget about the wedding. Angie'll be singin' at your funeral. (Laughing)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Wait, you can't go yet. (Sighs) When I was locked up, some days... it was easier to pretend that life on the outside didn't exist. It was too painful to think about freedom. I told you not to come, and you did anyway. I told you I didn't need any help, and you wouldn't take no for an answer, and I survived because of you. If you think that I'm gonna walk away now, well, too bad. You don't scare me. I'm coming back. There's nothing you can do about it.", "Victor: Okay. I'm listening.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Angelina: (Singing off-key) Riding with you out of the light living your secrets let's burn through the night riding with you...", "Chloe: I can't think of a worse omen on my wedding day.", "Kevin: Hey.", "Devon: Hey.", "Angelina: (Gradually singing more tunefully) Take me away I'll be by your side", "Devon: Hey, how is she--", "Angelina: Riding with you", "Devon: Hello, Kevin.", "Angelina: Tearing down walls", "Devon: Can you come here? Stand about right here.", "Angelina: Gotta do it all", "Devon: Thanks.", "Angelina: Riding with you I'll dance through your fire I'll be all you desire", "Devon: That's what I'm talkin' about.", "Daniel: Wow.", "Chloe: Weird, annoying. (Sighs)", "Angelo: Hey, hang on a minute. The way she's lookin' at you, like--like you're her hero-- I mean, if you can make her sing like that--", "Chloe: (Singsong voice) And then that means that he's my hero. (Normal voice) Okay, listen. She can sing at the wedding, but the honeymoon is off.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Thank you, Reverend. We'll be in touch. So... what do you think?", "Genevieve: I think this is a lovely place to walk down the aisle with you.", "Jack: This time next month, unless you want to do it right now.", "Genevieve: (Sighs) You're such a good man. I'm not exactly sure how I managed to find you.", "Jack: You didn't. As I recall, I found you, and I'm not always a good man.", "Genevieve: Do I detect a little bit of pride in that statement?", "Jack: I've always thought following the rules was a little overrated. There have been some people in my life who've had a hard time accepting my philosophy.", "Genevieve: Not me. I'm a rule-breaker. Maybe that's why we found each other.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Tucker: Everyone here knows my reputation in business. Risk big, win big, and I gotta say, I've been hassled by the S.E.C. myself, so I can't be a hypocrite and hold that against anyone. This is not about who you want to have a beer with. This is about having the right leadership to advance Newman Enterprises, so the stockholders can make a pile of money. My vote goes to Adam Newman.", "Victoria: (Sighs)", "Lauren: Tucker, my God, no.", "Victoria: This is a huge, huge mistake.", "Adam: That appears to be three votes for my brother here and four votes for myself. That would be a majority vote. I am pleased to be your new C.E.O.", "Nick: My father's blood created this company, and this vote is an insult to him.", "Tucker: You know, I think this would be a good time to read that letter Michael brought from Victor.", "Adam: Yes, he requested the new C.E.O. read it. I'd be happy to. (Tearing open envelope) \"Colleagues, in so much as I cannot participate from jail, nor can I vote, I'm trusting that you all vote in the best interests of this company. Now it's time to stand united behind our new C.E.O. Regardless of your individual vote, I give my full faith and support to the Newman C.E.O., and I expect the same from each and every one of you. Signed, Victor Newman.\" Well, we all know that first and foremost, my father is a savvy businessman, as are at least four of us in this room here, and I promise that you will not regret the decision you made today.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Angelina: Did you love it? I loved it.", "Kevin: I, um... uh, yeah, yeah. Uh, we can't wait for you to sing at the wedding.", "Chloe: (Sighs)", "Kevin: But the good news is, your father has decided to give me a vacation, so you don't have to come on our honeymoon.", "Chloe: Hallelujah! (Laughs) Devon, that song is really fabulous, even in its extremely raw form.", "Devon: Well, thank you.", "Angelo: Let's hear it again.", "Devon: Uh, we can't, actually. I have to close up shop. I forgot to drop food off at the church for the food drive.", "Daniel: What?", "Devon: Yeah.", "Angelo: Well, Angie can, uh, serenade us on the way out, huh? There you go.", "Devon: Yeah.", "Angelo: Wh-where'd she go?", "Angelina: (Sighs) Oh, Carmine, it's been so long, and, uh, I need your help.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Genevieve: It feels strange. (Laughs) My first Christmas with my husband-to- be.", "Jack: Good strange?", "Genevieve: Oh, wonderful strange.", "(Cell phone alert chimes)", "Jack: Ooh. This could be about the Newman vote.", "Genevieve: Uh-huh.", "Jack: Wow. Adam did it. He's C.E.O.", "Genevieve: And you're pleased about that?", "Jack: Whatever it takes to get what I want.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: Gentlemen? In the not-too-distant future, I think we're all gonna remember this day as the day it all started to go wrong.", "Nick: What the hell were you thinking voting for Adam?", "Victoria: You know he's gonna destroy this company.", "Tucker: You know, it's funny, your father didn't say anything about that in his letter. He said, \"Stand behind the C.E.O.\"", "Nick: Oh, I'll do that. I'll be right there, making sure that Adam doesn't ruin everything.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: (Exhales slowly) Can I buy you a coffee?", "Sharon: I can get my own, thank you.", "Adam: Well, uh, let me spring for a muffin to celebrate me being elected the new C.E.O. of Newman.", "Sharon: You won? Congratulations. Now you have everything you want, officially.", "Adam: \"Everything\"? No.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Tucker's was the deciding vote?", "Michael: Nick's not pleased.", "Victor: I'm sure he isn't. What he doesn't know is... it's all according to plan, okay?", "Michael: At the risk of stating the obvious, whatever you're planning, it damn well better work.", "Victor: Rest assured, it's already working, all right?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Deacon: Hey, how's the head doin'? I don't suppose you, uh, feel like hitting a meeting?", "Nikki: You are a filthy liar. You weren't in the park the night Diane was killed. You don't know who was there or what happened.", "Deacon: All right, Nikk, I'll bite. If I wasn't there, where was I?", "Nikki: You were here. You were working. Gloria told em that, speaking of whom, you ought to start sucking up to get your old job back, because you're not gonna be leeching off of me. I can have this marriage annulled in a heartbeat. And considering this entire debacle is about money, exactly how much will it cost to get rid of you forever?", "Deacon: Nikki, you don't get it. You can add as many zeros as you want, but all I want is you.", "Nikki: Take the check, Deacon, 'cause that's all you're gonna get out of me. I'm taking my life back as of now.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Cane: Tag team action.", "Lily: We've always been good partners.

[ "Adam: Morning, Mason. Jack in?", "Mason: Door was closed when I got in. I assume he's on his way to Chicago for that big presentation.", "Adam: That's right, thank you. Jack. Jack, wake up.", "Jack: (Grunting) Ohh! What the hell do you think you're doing?", "Adam: I'd like to ask you the same question. Were you too messed up to go home last night?", "Jack: (Breathing heavily)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: Gloria lost every penny she invested in our last company. Why would she risk it again?", "Chloe: Because she loves fashion, she loves us, and she's about to get 7 million big ones burnin' a hole in her wallet.", "Kevin: Yeah, well, hope you got it in writing.", "Chloe: Oh, thanks for the good wishes, \"Sweetums.\"", "Kevin: You got it, Babe.", "Chloe: (Scoffs) See, what'd I tell you? Kevin's just all \"Mr. Sunshine\" lately.", "Chelsea: Maybe we should listen to Kevin and bail on this idea, cut our losses now.", "Chloe: What? No. We have to move on to much bigger and better things, like this rockin' new business we're about to launch.", "Chelsea: Okay, okay, I-I just feel like we need to just, like, slow down a little bit.", "Chloe: What are you talking about? We're on a roll. Okay, we both need this in our lives right now, and I've got some more good news. Okay, look, I found this amazing space that we can work at. Okay, look at this loft that I found. It's--", "Chelsea: Okay, stop, stop, I can't do this! I can't do this. Everything's just going too fast right now.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Oh, my God, where did you get this?", "Victor: Look at that, yeah.", "Nikki: All of our photo albums were destroyed in the fire. I can't believe it.", "Victor: No, I just, you know, asked the rest of the family and friends and the photographer, and then I think I found all the--all the important ones, except there are some favorite ones that are missing, I think.", "Nikki: Thank you so much. They are beautiful. You couldn't have gotten me a better gift...", "Victor: I'm so happy.", "Nikki: Or found a better way to get my mind off of strangling Sharon.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Faith was crying, I was crying. I was sitting in my car trying to comfort her.", "Dr. Watkins: And it wasn't working?", "Sharon: Nothing was working. She was hysterical... and that's when it hit me how wrong that was. I was taking her away from the people who love her, and... what gives me the right to wreck her life just because my life is such a disaster? And that's when I knew I had to turn around and take her home. (Sighs) How can my concept of right and wrong be so off base?", "Dr. Watkins: Sharon, you're missing the most important piece of this. That moment of clarity that you experienced-- it means that the medication is beginning to work.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kay: Stop... right there.", "Tucker: Good morning, Mother.", "Kay: What the hell are you doing here at this hour?

You can throw 'em away if you want.", "Adam: Nope. I can't do that. You might need these to taper off.

This is something really positive for you to focus on.", "Chelsea: What do you think would happen to me without this project?", "Chloe: It could get really ugly...", "Chelsea: (Laughs)", "Chloe: Like, not hideous ugly, but depressing, sad, a little ugly.", "Chelsea: I-I will be fine, okay? I'm just a little bit overwhelmed right now.", "Chloe: Yeah, eventually, you're gonna learn to deal with it, but right now, we cannot cancel on Gloria because we really need her money to get this whole thing rolling.", "(Cell phone rings)", "Chelsea: It's Adam.", "Chloe: You know what? Give me the phone. I have some things I want to say to him.", "Chelsea: No. What do you want, Adam?", "Adam: Just calling to see how you're holding up. Hope you're not spending too much time with Chloe. She's got a pretty warped view of the world.", "Chelsea: That's none of your concern.", "Adam: We need to talk.", "Chelsea: (Sighs) We said everything that we had to say last night, Adam.", "Adam: We have to settle some things between us.", "Chelsea: (Sighs) Fine.

How are you supposed to move on if you keep on running back to him?", "Chelsea: I'm not! We just need a little bit of closure, and he said that we need to settle some things.", "Chloe: Settle what, exactly?", "Chelsea: No clue, but I know what I need to settle. I'm gonna tell Adam that we need to cut all ties, and the sooner, the better. Wish me luck.", "Chloe: Good luck.", "Kevin: Hey, is Chelsea okay?", "Chloe: (Sighs) No... but she will be, and so will we.", "Kevin: How are we gonna be okay?", "Chloe: They're talking settlements.

Blue jeans, music-- what's next, a tattoo parlor in the break room?", "Neil: Jack, I'm experimenting with the workplace, making things a little less formal. I read several studies where productivity soared when--", "Jack: It's not Jabot, Neil. We're about quality, high-end chic, and our employees do not dress like they're on spring break.", "Neil: When you hired me, you said that I could do things my own way.", "Jack: This is your way?

I was trying to slip out of here to avoid this conversation...", "Kay: (Sighs)", "Tucker: But come on, we're all here. I would like a cup of tea. Why don't we sit down and try to act civilized?", "Kay: Impossible.", "Jill: Oh, for God sake. We all got along just fine at Thanksgiving.", "Kay: Only through a supreme effort of will.", "Jill: Well, then make another damn supreme effort!", "Kay: Jill, why do you think I am so upset with the two of you carrying on? He hurt you... repeatedly!", "Jill: (Sighs)", "Tucker: I get it. You don't think I'm good enough for Jill.", "Kay: I couldn't have said it better.", "Jill: Are you a saint? Am I a saint? I mean, everybody's made mistakes. No, Katherine, listen to me. Forget about me. For some reason, which I don't understand, he wants to have a relationship with you, his mother. Would it really be the end of the world if you gave the man a second chance?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Oh, look, there's Douglas making the toast.", "Victor: My goodness. I remember him saying, \"Victor, ol' boy, a luckier man has never walked the face of this earth-- more debonair, perhaps, but never luckier.\"", "Nikki: (Laughs)", "Victor: He was right, you know.", "Nikki: Ohh.", "Victor: Wasn't he? Yeah, he was a nice guy.", "Nikki: Now there used to be one with Casey...", "Victor: Oh.", "Nikki: Standing behind me, just goofing around...", "Victor: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.", "Nikki: Pushing the tiara down on my head.", "Victor: I couldn't find that one.", "Nikki: Oh. Well, that means I'll never see it again, one of the very few pictures I have of my sister, thanks to Sharon.", "Victor: Yeah. Sweetheart, let's not talk about Sharon right now, okay? Let's talk about the preparation... for the wedding. I'm so looking forward to marrying you again. Do you know that?", "Nikki: You're right. We have a beautiful future together. I am not going to dwell on what that woman has taken from us.", "Victor: Good, and I'm not saying that she will not pay for what she has done, but right now, I don't want to talk about that. When I get my company back, I will deal with Sharon, okay?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: I haven't even thought about Christmas and what I'm gonna get the kids. Of course, um, Nick probably won't let me spend that much time with Faith.", "Dr. Watkins: You seemed a bit tense earlier, when you mentioned the visit you had last night from your friend Adam.", "Sharon: Yeah, Adam isn't exactly a friend. Adam made clear his feelings for me, and they go way past friendship.", "Dr. Watkins: And that troubles you? Why is that?", "Sharon: Because I have feelings for him, too.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: What happened? Sharon didn't welcome you back with open arms?", "Adam: It's not about that.", "Chelsea: Of course it is. She's the reason our marriage is over.", "Adam: I could have lied to you. It would have been easier to lie... but then we would be living that lie and you would know it, deep down, and you'd hate me for it.", "Chelsea: And you would still hate me for going to Victor and Nikki.", "Adam: I could never hate you, ever. You know that. I love you, Chelsea. I always will.", "Chelsea: Just not enough.", "Adam: Well, even though we won't be married anymore, I want you to be taken care of, now and always.", "Chelsea: If you mean financially, that's a nice thing to say, but... our prenup is airtight. It protects every cent of yours.", "Adam: I'm throwing it out. I want you to have half of everything that I earned while we were together. That's fair. That's-- that's what you deserve. It should help get you through this.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Cell phone rings)", "Chloe: Hi, Gloria. Is everything okay? Yeah, you're really late for our creative meeting. Are you kidding me? I-- (Inhales sharply) No... (Sighs) You know what? Uh, don't--don't worry about it. We'll--we'll manage without you. Yeah, okay, thank you. Good luck to you, too. Okay, bye.", "Kevin: What, was that bad news?", "Chloe: Well, Gloria has decided not to invest in our fashion business because she and Jeff have-- wait for it-- have decided to buy a racehorse. (Sighs)", "Kevin: (Chuckles) Oh, man. Yeah, good old Gloria. Well, that is what you get for trying to depend on Gloria for something.", "Chloe: Well, you know what this means, don't you? It means that we're back at square one, no money, with a balloon payment that's about to be due. I mean--", "Kevin: Yeah, well, guess what? It wouldn't be an issue if you'd let me use the money from TagNGrab.", "Chloe: Oh, the word is \"Steal,\" my darling, not \"Use.\"", "Kevin: Tomato, toh-mah-to. Any way you slice it, we still don't have any money. (Scoffs)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: You make a crazy amount of money, and half of that is still pretty crazy.", "Adam: It should be enough to help you make a fresh start.", "Chelsea: Why, Adam? Why are you doing this? Are you looking for a way to ease your guilty conscience? Because I'm not interested in helping you feel better about dumping me for Sharon.", "Adam: Just take the money, Chelsea.", "Chelsea: This was never about money. What, do you think I'm--I'm pulling a con? The whole point of us being together is that we never had to con each other.", "Adam: I just don't want you to have to struggle.", "Chelsea: Go to hell.", "Adam: Chelsea, please--", "Chelsea: I loved you, Adam. I wanted a life with you, a future, a family. It was never about money.", "Adam: Don't you think I know that? I just want you to be comfortable.", "Chelsea: You have made it painfully clear that I am not your priority, so keep your money. I don't want it. I don't want anything from you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Tyler: We'll plaster stickers, flyers, billboards, graffitied walls all over the city, all featuring this... and only this-- a single sexy eye shadowed with intense color. No words, no logo, no hashtag or web sites, no explanation at all-- just one eye with that bold color popping up everywhere. People will talk, speculate, stories will appear in the local media, and then just before it hits the saturation point, boom-- Jabot launches its hot new eye shadow line. Beautiful, right? Any questions?", "Devon: Not from me. Lily?", "Lily: I think it's--", "Neil: Tyler, would you please wait outside?", "Tyler: Yeah, sure, no problem.", "Jack: Graffitied walls? Really? This is the very antithesis of our brand.", "Devon: I actually think it's kind of cool.", "Jack: It's God-awful, and I hate it.", "Neil: Tyler's idea has merit, Jack. I think we should at least consider it.", "Devon: Yeah, I mean, I-it could open up new markets for people my age and younger who have no idea Jabot even exists.", "Lily: Jack, market research is showing that people perceive Jabot as a brand for \"Mature, sophisticated women,\" which... (Laughs) I'm sorry, but I feel like that's code for \"Boring old ladies.\" This fits in perfectly for what I'm trying to do, just Tyler took it to a new level.", "Jack: The consumer group that you just insulted, Lily, has been our bread and butter for decades. You spray-paint their town, you will alienate them, and we will not sell enough $90 jars of antiaging serum to pay your salary.", "Cane: You know what? Actually, I agree with Jack. I don't think its right for, uh, Jabot's demographic.", "Jack: Finally, someone else sees some reason here. Rogue tactics are not gonna fly, not while I own Jabot.", "Neil: May I please speak to you in private? Is this how it's gonna be?", "Jack: I am not trying to step on your toes, Neil. I am trying to look out for my family's company.", "Neil: By cutting me off at the knees in front of my staff?", "Jack: By questioning decisions you make that compromise work that we've done to build this company for decades.", "Neil: Then trust me make the right decisions.", "Jack: Neil, I can't trust you to wear a tie. God, this is the last thing I needed to deal with today.", "Neil: Then don't. Why don't you hire yourself a yes-man to run your company? It'd be a lot less stressful for both of us, wouldn't it?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: Damn it, Jack. (Sighs)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kay: How many times do you have to forgive a snake before you get tired of being bitten? No! My God, I mean, how-- I thought you were smarter than that.", "Tucker: Will you stop it, Katherine? Stop belittling her! Listen... Jill gave me a second chance. Now why can't you, my own mother?", "Kay: (Laughs) You even have to ask? Please.", "Tucker: You know what? If you'd listen, if you'd open up your ears and listen, you would understand that I only want what's best for Jill.", "Kay: Ohh.", "Tucker: You won't do that, though, will you? Too stubborn. All right, I'm taking off. Enjoy your morning, huh? We'll talk soon.", "Jill: Yeah, we better.", "Tucker: (Kisses Jill) We will.", "Jill: There. Are you satisfied?", "Kay: Jill... I can see that you do not have a clue as to why that man is in your bed again.", "Jill: (Chuckles)", "Kay: He's using you. That is what he does. That's the only thing he knows how to do.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Leslie: So how'd it go?", "Tyler: Oh, it wowed 'em, especially that dime piece Lily. Mm.", "Leslie: Neil's the one you needed to impress.", "Tyler: Yeah, well, he's still in there talking things over with Jack, but if the answer was no, I would have heard something by now.", "Leslie: Mm, fingers crossed, little brother.", "Tyler: (Sighs)", "Jack: (Moans)", "Tyler: Are you okay?", "Jack: Yeah, I'm fine.", "Tyler: So, uh, what did you think of my pitch?", "Jack: This company has bigger issues than you to deal with right now, but I wouldn't go buying a new car.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Adam's leaving his wife. They're getting a divorce because of me, which freaks me out.", "Dr. Watkins: Why?", "Sharon: Because he'll be available, and we could be together again if we wanted to. And these feelings I have for him, I have been fighting them for so long, and I can't fight them anymore.", "Dr. Watkins: Why have you been fighting them?", "Sharon: Because everything inside me is telling me I can't go there again.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: Hello, Nikki. Is my dad here? I need to see him.", "Nikki: (Sighs)", "Victor: What is it, Son?", "Nikki: If you'll excuse me, I doubt I want to hear any part of this.", "Victor: What's the problem?", "Adam: How could you go to the press with that?", "Victor: How could I go to the press with what?", "Adam: Jack's pill problem. I wonder who could have leaked that.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Tucker: I just read an article on an online site about your misuse of prescription pain meds. Is it true? Are you a drug addict?", "Jack: Believe everything you read on the internet?", "Tucker: I believe what I see. Look at you. You're a mess. Now you tell me what the hell is going on.", "Jack: Nothing.", "Tucker: So if it's not true, how did the media get a hold of it?", "Jack: How the hell do you think they did? Victor! He'll do anything to get his company back.", "Tucker: So what are you doing to counteract it?", "Jack: I am sick and tired of everybody trying to micromanage me! I don't have to tell you anything, except get the hell out of my office!", "Tucker: Let me tell you something-- I sacrificed way too much to get control of Newman Enterprises to watch some drug addict flush it down the toilet! Now if you got a problem, you better get some help, Buddy, and get yourself straightened out, or you'll have me to answer to. Don't you screw me over.", "Jack: Adam, get in here now. I need one of my pills. (Slams receiver down) (Breathing heavily)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: You and I had a deal. You don't prosecute Sharon, and I get Newman back for you without your interference.", "Victor: I didn't leak that story.", "Adam: No?", "Victor: Why would I throw a spotlight on Jack Abbott's drug habit? It doesn't serve my interest now, does it?", "Adam: Okay, well, then who could have done it?", "Victor: An inside mole.", "Adam: You mean, aside from me?", "Victor: And you are not doing a very good job as a mole. You're so preoccupied with Sharon's problems that you're forgetting that a pill head is running Newman Enterprises now.", "Adam: I can handle things on my own just fine. Besides, this ain't my first rodeo. Once you get what you want, you'll be kicking me to the curb.", "Victor: A curb is far better than a prison cell, don't you think, for aiding and abetting arson?", "Adam: Don't you appreciate the irony here? Of the four Newman children that you have, the one that can pull through for you is me. The one thing you want, I can get for you. You'd be a fool to get rid of me, and you know it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: For Adam to offer you that much cash, he obviously cares what happens to you.", "Chelsea: (Scoffs) Does he?", "Chloe: I never liked the guy, but I gotta admit-- I mean, you gotta give him a little bit of credit.", "Chelsea: Maybe you do. Adam's feeling guilty about his nasty behavior so he's trying to throw money at me. (Sighs) I told him to keep it. I don't want a dime from him.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Mason: Can I help you with something?", "Adam: Some disturbing rumors have surfaced about Jack's medical situation. Is it any coincidence that, uh, as of a few days ago, you've been placed just outside his door?", "Mason: Mr. Newman, I swear to you I wasn't involved. I have no idea what you're talking about.", "Jack: Adam! Get in here. What took you so long?", "Adam: I had to take care of some--", "Jack: Never mind, never mind. I've had an awful day. I need one of my pills.", "Adam: You need a pill? How soon, Jack, until it's two or three?", "Jack: Are you turning me down?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dr. Watkins: Why do you think you should avoid Adam? Is it because he cares about you?", "Sharon: He shouldn't. I wish I'd never let him help me. I-I leaned on him too much, and now it's cost him his marriage.", "Dr. Watkins: And how does that make you feel?", "Sharon: Ashamed. I've gotta stop hurting people.", "Dr. Watkins: That represents so much progress, Sharon, and you have achieved this on your own, without Adam. I want to see you continue along this path. Don't let yourself be drawn into something you're not comfortable with or prepared for. If your instincts are telling you that something is dangerous, it probably is.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jill: Ohh! All right, all right, all right, let me get this straight. (Chuckles) The only way a man would ever, ever be attracted to me is if he was after something. This is what you're telling me.", "Kay: Should I remind you of the cons you have fallen for over the years?", "Jill: Oh, my God.", "Kay: No, I'd better not. We'd be here all day long.", "Jill: You know what? You are the one with the issues. You barely let Tucker open his mouth, you're so afraid.", "Kay: Of what?", "Jill: Despite all the rotten, horrendous things he's done, you know you still love him, and that terrifies you.", "Kay: (Coughing)", "Jill: If you would just open up that addled, closed mind of yours and listen to what the man has to say and face your history head-on, maybe, just maybe--", "Kay: (Coughing)", "Jill: Oh, God! This is the only way you're able to win an argument these days, by faking a heart episode! God, grow up, Katherine. I don't have time in my life for this.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Devon: Still haven't heard anything?", "Lily: That's weird.", "Tyler: Yeah, I'm not crazy, right? I mean, you liked what you saw in there.", "Devon: Yeah, we both did.", "Lily: Yeah.", "Tyler: Thanks, man. I just--I know that my ideas could really rock this place, you know, take it to another level. You did tell Neil and \"The suit\" what you thought in there, right? You know, 'cause you were the only one in the room that actually knows the products. You use them every day, so to me, you know, your opinion should carry the most weight.", "Lily: Yeah, I mean, I may have been the only woman in there, but everyone else in that room has more business experience than I do.", "Cane: All right, listen, uh, Neil's boss, okay? So it's gonna be his decision. You have to wait to hear from him, okay?", "Tyler: Well, that might be true, but I still value the lady's opinion.", "Cane: Uh, we haven't actually been introduced. I'm Cane Ashby. I'm, uh, Lily's husband.", "Tyler: Pleasure, Bro.", "Cane: Cool.", "Leslie: Neil hasn't come out yet?", "Devon: It's been awhile.", "Tyler: Yeah, my laptop's still in there. I didn't get a chance to pack it up.", "Leslie: Oh, I'll see what the holdup is.", "Cane: (Sighs)", "Leslie: What in the world? Neil, what are you doing?", "Neil: I already did it. I quit.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: What have you got there?", "Nikki: Oh, nothing.", "Victor: Let me see.", "Nikki: Just our wedding date, that's all.", "Victor: Oh, Valentine's Day. How sweet, how wonderful. I love it.", "Nikki: Really?", "Victor: Let me show you how much.", "Nikki: (Chuckles) Mm. All right, then, Valentine's Day it is, but...", "Victor: What?", "Nikki: I don't want Adam there. I don't trust him, and I don't think you should, either.", "Victor: I don't, but he may be our salvation, okay?", "Nikki: Or he may take a page from Sharon's book and reduce us to ashes.", "Victor: Don't worry about that.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Come on, just one pill.", "Adam: You are practically crawling out of your skin, Jack.", "Jack: You told me I shouldn't go cold turkey.

[ "Jack: Hey, Kyle, it's me. I'm calling to see what you found out while Victor was still at Summer's birthday party. I thought I'd hear from you by now. If there's any kind of a problem, give me a call. Hey.", "Billy: Hey.", "Jack: That for Summer?", "Billy: Yes, it is.", "Jack: Oh, that's nice. You didn't have to do that.", "Billy: I didn't. Victoria did. Sorry we didn't make the party.", "Jack: I understand. I'm sure Summer does, too.", "Billy: So, you making moves against Victor, huh?", "Jack: When he forced me to sell Newman back to him this time, it cost me a fortune. He's not gonna have the last laugh.", "Billy: I'm all for that. I'm surprised you're using your son to do it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Noah: Simple question, Kyle. What are you doing here?", "Kyle: My job. Now, if you'll excuse me...", "Noah: I don't remember you going through my grandfather's desk as being part of your job description.", "Kyle: The drawer was open. I was closing it.", "Noah: That's not what it looked like.", "Kyle: Yeah, well, that's what it was.", "Noah: You're lying.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Oh!", "Victor: Let me help you.", "Nikki: Thank you, Honey.", "Victor: There you go.", "Nikki: A lovely party. A nice way for the Abbotts and the Newmans to celebrate Summer's birthday.", "Victor: Yeah. I don't think our granddaughter would agree. Did you see her -- her expression when she saw all of us together?", "Nikki: Oh, I think she was more overwhelmed than anything else.", "Victor: Who wouldn't be overwhelmed if they found out that Jack Abbott was their father?", "Nikki: I think her emotional outburst was simply because she missed her mother. That's all.", "Victor: All the more reason that she needs to stay with Nicholas, you know.", "Nikki: I think he and Jack have done a very good job in a very difficult situation. Perhaps there's something we can learn from our son.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: Sharon.", "Sharon: Nicholas.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Kyle taking the job at Newman-Chancellor was his idea, not mine.", "Billy: Oh, so your kid's steamrolling you now. You're going soft, Jack.", "Jack: I didn't like the idea, but now it seems to be working out.", "Billy: You sure Victor's not playing him? He could be giving him just enough rope.", "Jack: Yeah, Victor's trying, but I know all of Victor's tricks.", "Billy: Does Kyle?", "Jack: He's learning.", "Billy: Sounds risky to me, man.", "Jack: Look, I needed someone on the inside, someone I could trust -- absolutely trust.", "Billy: Well, that makes sense why you didn't ask me to do it.", "Jack: No, I would never ask you to choose between your two families again. Ever again.", "Billy: No, that didn't work out so well last time.", "Jack: You got enough on your mind right now. Did you ever find out who set up that foundation in Delia's name?", "Billy: No, I did not. Kelly seems to think it's better for me to concentrate on all the good the charity's gonna do and not who financed it.", "Jack: Kelly?", "Billy: Yeah, she's a friend I met at grief support group. She works at GC Cares. That's the non-profit that's handling the startup of Delia's charity.", "Jack: Funny coincidence.", "Billy: Not really. She started working there after her son died. She couldn't go back to teaching, you know. Didn't want to be around kids after she lost hers.", "Jack: You seem to have gotten to know this Kelly pretty well.", "Billy: Yeah. She's easy to talk to. Have a lot of common.", "Jack: More than you and Victoria?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: Oh. Hey.", "Stitch: Hey.", "Victoria: Is this your home away from home?", "Stitch: [Chuckles] More like my home away from work. I'm on a break.", "Victoria: Wow. They don't have any coffee at the hospital?", "Stitch: Yeah. But I took an oath to do no harm, including to myself.", "Victoria: Wow. It's that bad, huh?", "Stitch: [Chuckles] Lethal. How's Johnny? Were you able to get him in to see an allergist?", "Victoria: Yeah. You know what? You were right. He was having, um, an allergic reaction to the material in his sweater.", "Stitch: I'm glad that's all it was.", "Victoria: Well, actually, the doctor said it would have been a lot worse if you hadn't have started him on that antihistamine when you did.", "Stitch: Ah, you would have figured it out yourself.", "Victoria: Yes, I definitely would have, because I was thinking so clearly and so rationally.", "Stitch: [Chuckles]", "Victoria: Oh, wait. No. That was you.", "Stitch: I guess, uh, those qualities come in handy in my line of work, so...", "Victoria: Yeah, and your previous line of work. Well, I heard what Dylan said about you at the Veterans Day celebration, and it sounded like you were a real hero in Afghanistan.", "Stitch: I was just --", "Victoria: I know. You were just doing your job.", "Stitch: Yeah.", "Victoria: Well, you know, Dylan was really lucky to have you by his side.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: So, what are we celebrating?", "Adam: A dinner with no crying.", "Chelsea: Be serious.", "Adam: I love the little guy, but he has amazing timing.

He has no connection to our son.", "Dylan: [Sighs] It turns out, uh, you weren't the only one keeping things from me.", "Chelsea: What do you mean?", "Dylan: Nikki Newman kept the biggest secret of all.", "Chelsea: What could she possibly be keeping from you?", "Dylan: That she's my mother.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: You can't very well compare Nicholas' situation with Summer to yours with McAvoy. Can't do that.", "Nikki: He's dealing with the reality of his new circumstances.", "Victor: And I'm not?", "Nikki: You're angry, understandably. I should have told you about that baby years ago. I-I waited far too long.", "Victor: Do you remember when we got remarried? You said we shouldn't do it unless we were completely honest with one another?", "Nikki: Yes, I know I did.", "Victor: Okay.", "Nikki: I really wanted to tell you.", "Victor: But you didn't tell me. You told Paul Williams, didn't you? You trusted him.", "Nikki: [Sighs] If I could go back and change things, I would. But I can't. All I can do is tell you how very sorry I am and... [Sighs] I just hope for the best for everybody that I love.", "Victor: Including the McAvoy guy?", "Nikki: He's made it very clear he wants nothing to do with me.", "Victor: Really? For how long?", "Nikki: What do you mean? You think he's gonna change his mind?", "Victor: Baby, think about it. Once he finds out what you have to offer, he's gonna come to you.", "Nikki: If you're talking about money, he has no interest.", "Victor: Sweetheart, how the hell do you know? You don't even know the guy. All we know about him is that he kidnapped our grandson and he ruined Nicholas' engagement.", "Nikki: Avery is responsible for Nicholas being stood up at the altar.", "Victor: Listen, Sweetheart, anyone who hurts our family will not become part of it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: Can I get a dozen of those? Thank you. You know, Johnny loves the Christmas cookies here.", "Stitch: Little known fact -- a good cookie can cure just about any ailment.", "Victoria: Really?", "Stitch: Mm-hmm. Best medicine there is. Chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter, even a snickerdoodle.", "Victoria: I just find that so hard to believe.", "Stitch: Well, you have to believe me. I'm a doctor.", "Victoria: I'm beginning to worry about that a little bit.", "Stitch: Ah.", "Victoria: [Chuckles] So, you were a medic in the army, and now you're a doctor.", "Stitch: Oh, no. You starting to doubt my credentials because of the cookie thing?", "Victoria: No, not at all. I just think that it's lucky you seem to have transitioned back into civilian life pretty easily.", "Stitch: I've had my share of road blocks.", "Victoria: But you're still doing what you were trained to do. You're saving lives. Must feel good every time you do that.", "Stitch: It does, but it doesn't make up for the ones that were lost.", "Victoria: Well... you seem to be dealing with it better than others.", "Stitch: You mean Dylan.", "Victoria: Wh-- I-I'm sorry. No, I-I didn't mean to --", "Stitch: Use me to get insight to your brother?", "Victoria: [Chuckles] No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put you on the spot. It's just that, you know, I don't really have anybody to talk to about all of that. Come on. There must be something that you can tell me about him.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Billy: I know what you're getting at, Jack.", "Jack: Listen to me. I have some idea what I'm talking about here. When Cassie died, Nick's life spun out of control, too. I saw the results up close. Sharon was just as devastated by Cassie's death. He turned to Phyllis, not --", "Billy: Okay, okay. Please stop. This has nothing to do with that. Victoria is well aware of my friendship with Kelly. It's not like I'm running around cheating on my wife, Jack.", "Jack: You're just shutting her out.", "Billy: She understands that I need somebody that I can -- I can talk to.", "Jack: Talk to about what?", "Billy: About how much I love my daughter. About how my house is quiet now that she's not here. How I'm forgetting things. I'm losing memories of my own kid. I'm not gonna get them back. She understands that.", "Jack: Victoria understands all that.", "Billy: It's different, Jack. It's just different, man.", "Jack: You don't think Victoria loved Delia any less than you did?", "Billy: No, of course not. She's -- she's -- she's grieving, but in a different way, and it's good, because she's able to get past the pain, and she's there for our kid. He's got a normal life, and I'm still stuck in this...", "Jack: Billy, she understands your grief, too.", "Billy: I know, Jack.", "Jack: So talk to her!", "Billy: It's like she's trying so hard to keep this family together, and I feel like if I just unload on her, it's not smart, man. It's too much of a burden.", "Jack: And yet you're perfectly comfortable spilling your guts to this woman you've just met?", "Billy: Yes, I am, because it doesn't matter what I say to \"This woman.\" I can unload all this emotional garbage on to her, and then I can walk away and go home to my wife and my son. I can be a father, I can be a husband just like they deserve.", "Jack: Billy, all this sounds great. But this can't be good for your marriage.", "Billy: Ironically... Kelly seems to be the thing that's holding my marriage together, Jack.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: I'm -- I'm sorry.", "Sharon: I -- no. There's no need to apologize.", "Nick: Yeah, but I should not have, uh, done that.", "Sharon: Uh... look, no, I-I...I get it. It's fine. It's just something that happened.", "Nick: Yeah, I'm -- I'm glad you understand.", "Sharon: Of course. Oh, yeah, it doesn't mean anything. [Chuckles] I know how you get when you take the trash out.", "Nick: Yep. That always gets my engine going. [Chuckles]", "Sharon: [Chuckles]", "Nick: I really don't know what I was thinking, and I'm sorry.", "Sharon: Uh, no! Look, there's no need for apologies. We just...we got caught up in the moment, and we kissed, and, um...it doesn't mean anything.", "Nick: Yeah, 'cause we're just friends.", "Sharon: Right. We're friends with no benefits. So, no weirdness.", "Nick: None.", "Sharon: Good.", "Nick: Good. I mean, it's not like we've never kissed before.", "Sharon: Yeah. Hundreds of times. I mean, that's old news.", "Nick: Almost boring.", "Sharon: Totally.", "Nick: [Chuckles] [Sighs] I'm gonna take the trash out.", "Sharon: Okay. I'm gonna put the glasses back.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kyle: Get out of my way, Noah.", "Noah: Not until you tell me what you're doing here.", "Kyle: You really are threatened by me, aren't you?", "Noah: What were you looking for in my grandfather's desk?", "Kyle: A piece of paper. I wanted to leave him a message.", "Noah: Newman-Chancellor's a billion-dollar corporation with state-of-the-art communications technology, and you were handwriting him a note?", "Kyle: I like to keep things personal. Besides, I was in a hurry.", "Noah: Yeah, you barely had time to wish Summer happy birthday before you cut out of her party.", "Kyle: [Scoffs] Keeping tabs on me now, man?", "Noah: You know, I would have thought that making this day special for Summer was more important than you rushing out and scoring points with the boss, but I guess all that \"Us not competing\" was just bull.", "Kyle: Yeah, I guess so, because here you are spying on me, trying to prove to Victor that you're more loyal to him than I am.", "Noah: I don't have anything to prove. Grandpa knows he can trust me.", "Kyle: [Scoffs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: What's this?", "Victor: Insurance policy.", "Nikki: Insurance policy?", "Victor: Yeah.", "Nikki: This is my will. And you've deleted Dylan.", "Victor: He should never have been added in the first place. I had it redrafted, so just sign it, okay?", "Nikki: I can't believe it. You had no right to do that!", "Victor: You had no right to include that guy, okay? He shouldn't be treated as we treat our other children.", "Nikki: Why not?! He's my son!", "Victor: I don't give a damn whether he is your son or not.", "Nikki: I know you don't.", "Victor: Now... with him removed from your will, we will never question his motives, now, will we?

I was adopted.", "Chelsea: I didn't know that.", "Dylan: I didn't, either. My dad didn't even know.", "Adam: Wow. Mother lied to both of you?", "Chelsea: Adam, please.", "Adam: No, no, no, no, no. I've been there. My mother lied to me about my father. And, look, I was the interloper. I know what it's like with that family, so fasten your seat belt. It's a rough ride.", "Dylan: I don't need your advice.", "Adam: Well, good luck. It's a pit of vipers.", "Dylan: I don't need it. I have no interest in being in the Newman family.

It was interesting, the exchange there.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kyle: You really have no clue when it comes to business, Noah.", "Noah: And you don't know a damn thing about my grandfather.", "Kyle: I know that he's a businessman first, that he hires people he can count on, who will help his company grow. Smart, creative, talented people.", "Noah: That he can trust.", "Kyle: Victor knows he can trust me, otherwise I wouldn't even be here.", "Noah: The only reason why you're here is your last name is Abbott.", "Kyle: I think you're a little confused on how nepotism works.", "Noah: And you're an idiot if you don't see that my grandpa hired you to stick it to your dad.", "Kyle: Oh, the same way he hired you to stick it to yours?", "[Door closes]", "Victor: Assumptions are ill-advised, Boys.", "Noah: [Sighs]", "Victor: That's why I like to deal in facts, okay? Kyle, you are here because you're bright and ambitious and you don't mind stepping beyond your comfort zone. I appreciate that. You, Noah, are here because you are loyal to me and my company, and you're a very hard worker, and I appreciate that, okay? Now, did your last names help you get your foot in the door? You bet. You both are gonna have to work twice as hard to prove that you have reason to stay here. Starting right now, okay?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: Are you taking off?", "Sharon: Yeah, it looks like we're done here. Unless you need me for something else.", "Nick: Uh...no, I think we're good.", "Sharon: [Clears throat] Okay, I'm just -- I'm gonna get going. Abby's taking Faith to see the window displays at Fenmore's after they're done tree shopping. I want to get some presents wrapped before she comes back.", "Nick: Yeah. I should do that, too.", "Sharon: All right. See you later.", "Nick: Sharon? It's weird, right?", "Sharon: You're right. It is.", "Nick: I'm really sorry. I never should have...kissed you. And, you know, you've been doing so well trying to get your life back on track. And for me to kiss you like that, it...", "Sharon: Well, you've been under a lot of stress lately with everything that happened with Avery and Dylan.", "Nick: Yeah, but I can't lean on you.", "Sharon: How many times have I leaned on you?", "Nick: Yeah, but I don't want to give you mixed signals. You know, I was the one who told you that we can't be anything more than friends.", "Sharon: Friends understand when someone else makes a mistake.", "Nick: So, then we're good?", "Sharon: I'm your friend, and I hope you'll always be mine.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Stitch: [Laughs]", "Victoria: That did not really happen.", "Stitch: All true. Well, mostly true, anyway, I swear.", "Victoria: Okay.", "Dylan: [Chuckling] Hey. What's, uh, what's going on here?", "Stitch: Victoria and I were just talking.", "Dylan: Really? About what?", "Victoria: Well, he was just telling me how you two met.", "[Laughs]", "Dylan: Oh, that's -- really? The camel story again?", "Stitch: It never gets old.", "Dylan: Wow. Did he tell you that I had a lot of gear on? I, you know, kind of lost my balance? Did he say anything about that?", "Stitch: Went ass over tea kettle. But I got to give him credit. He stuck the landing. Right on his chin.", "Dylan: Man, you need to get some new material.", "Stitch: Come on, man. It's funny.", "Dylan: Yeah, funny. Almost as funny as that, uh, story about you getting stung by a scorpion. You want to talk about that one?", "Victoria: Ow! That doesn't sound funny.", "Stitch: Yeah, it wasn't. And I'm sure Victoria doesn't want to hear it.", "Victoria: No, I do. I want to hear it.", "Dylan: Well, you should have seen our big, brave medic here running out of the tent screaming [Chuckling] Like a girl.", "Victoria: You were okay, right?", "Stitch: I was fine. My buddies set me up, taped the whole thing, and then posted it on Viewclick.", "Victoria: Oh, so there was no scorpion. Aww, that is so mean.", "Dylan: No, it's not. He deserved it. He stole Sully's last cookie out of his private stash.", "Victoria: [Laughs]", "Stitch: Worth every ounce of humiliation.", "Victoria: What is it with you and cookies, anyway?", "Stitch: I can't resist. Chocolate chip peanut butter, homemade by sully's mom?", "Dylan: That's true. When Mrs. Sullivan heard about what happened, she would, uh, send Stitch a care package of his own.", "Stitch: Still does every Christmas.", "Victoria: Hmm. How does Sully feel about that?", "Stitch: I'm sure he'd be fine with it, knowing that his mom found a way to celebrate without him.", "Victoria: Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry. I didn't realize. I know the holidays can be so hard, especially Christmas.", "Dylan: Yeah. I'm sorry. I know it's gonna be a-a rough one for Billy.", "Victoria: Yeah, every day's rough for Billy, but you know what? He's doing better. He's still going to group. It helps having someone to talk to.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Billy, listen to me. This can only end badly.", "Billy: Jack... you have no idea what I'm going through here, so just...", "Jack: I have some idea where you've been, where Victoria found you -- in the gutter, literally. She helped pull you out. She helped build your strength. She helped you build a family against all odds. Do you really want to throw all that away?", "Billy: Jack... I'm trying to hold on to what we have here, and I've got just a thread left, so do me a favor and back off and just give me a break.", "Jack: I do have some idea what you're dealing with. Phyllis pulled me back from the edge. She was the strong one, like Victoria. If you need someone, make it your wife.", "Billy: I just can't.", "Jack: Then make it me. Or Traci. Or Ashley.", "Billy: Hey, Jack, back off from me, please? Look, man, I'm -- I'm sorry. I appreciate you. I appreciate everything you've done. I appreciate the family. But right now... I need somebody outside of this family.", "Jack: Billy, listen. Just -- just listen to me. I know you lost a lot. I know that. And I am so sorry. Stay on this path... you could lose everything.", "Billy: [Scoffs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: To be honest with you, I have some questions about some of the subsidiaries that we acquired when I merged Newman Enterprises with Chancellor Industries. I want you both to take a close look at them and tell me which ones you think are worth keeping and which ones we should jettison, all right?", "Kyle: So, you want us to assess the viability of each company?", "Victor: You got it. There's a prospectus on each one of these companies in that folder. If you need further information, just access the internet, okay?", "Kyle: Any particular entity that you're worried about?", "Victor: Yeah, Bonaventure Industries.", "Kyle: The bio-tech company?", "Victor: Yep.", "Noah: You already asked me to work on that, Grandpa.", "Victor: Well, now you'll both be working on it, all right? Kyle, you investigate the financials. And you, Noah, look at the products and services, okay?", "Noah: [Sighs]", "Victor: Cross-reference with each other to make sure you've covered everything, clear? Any questions?", "Kyle: Not from me.", "Victor: Noah?", "Noah: I'm good.", "Victor: All right, Boys. Let's get to work.", "[Door opens]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dylan: [Sighs] Here you go. But they're not as good as Sully's mom's.", "Stitch: Ah.", "Victoria: Oh, thank you. I'm sure that Johnny's gonna love them. Um...maybe you should come by and say hi to Billy. He'd like that.", "Dylan: Yeah. Yeah. I'll try to do that.", "Victoria: Okay. Thank you for everything.", "Stitch: Glad I could help.", "Victoria: Yeah. Well, me, too. Okay.", "Dylan: Hey! What -- what was that?", "Stitch: I was there when her son had an allergic reaction. I helped it get under control.", "Dylan: For that, you get a hug?", "Stitch: [Chuckles] One of the perks of being a doctor, man.", "Dylan: Well, I thought maybe it was the camel story that made her so grateful.", "Stitch: She wanted to know about her brother.", "Dylan: Yeah, well, I'd rather she didn't know.", "Stitch: It was one dumb story, Mac.", "Dylan: Yeah, it was one too many.", "Stitch: I'll leave the rest up to you.", "Dylan: Yeah. Hey, were you -- were you serious when you said Sully's mom sent you cookies every year?", "Stitch: Yeah, and don't steal any if they show up when I'm not there.", "Dylan: Why would they be coming here? You're not going home for Christmas?", "Stitch: I'm low man on the totem pole at the hospital, Dude. Pulled a double shift.", "Dylan: What about Jenna and Max?", "Stitch: They're gonna spend the day with her parents, so...", "Dylan: Working on Christmas. That sucks.", "Stitch: How come you're doing it? You're the boss.", "Dylan: [Sighs] Well, lots of people don't have anybody to spend Christmas with. Need a place to go.", "Stitch: Including you?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: You think I'm conning you?", "Adam: What's that?", "Chelsea: What I've done my whole life. Scammed people, lied, cheated, did whatever I had to do to get what I wanted. [Sighs] It's hard to trust somebody like that. Especially with your heart.", "Adam: You are one of the few people who actually believes I have one.", "Chelsea: Well, it's not gonna happen. I'm not conning you.", "Adam: Well, you can't predict the future. You never know what could happen. Things just happen.", "Chelsea: You're right. That's what I'm saying. Look at us, Adam. Look at Connor. He can see. [Laughs] I mean, did you ever imagine that things would turn out like this? We have spent so much of our lives, the two of us, both of us, thinking that we didn't deserve to be happy. We do, Adam. You do. You deserve to be happy.", "Adam: [Sighs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: There are going to be doubters, you know, people who think that we can't just be friends or that we shouldn't be.", "Nick: Well, we've never listened to them before.", "Sharon: That's true. But, um, kissing is out. I mean, we know that it doesn't mean anything, but we don't want to give other people the wrong idea, like Faith.", "Nick: Yeah. No more kissing. Cross my heart.", "Sharon: Maybe we should leave our hearts out of this.", "Nick: [Chuckles] Yeah.", "[Cell phone chimes]", "Nick: Uh-oh.", "Sharon: What?", "Nick: Abby apologies profusely, but she had to go back to work, so she's dropping Faith off.", "Sharon: When? Faith, Sweetie, what are you doing here? What happened?", "Faith: The Christmas trees were all sold out!", "Sharon: Oh, no! You know what? I think I heard something about a shortage this year.", "Nick: No Christmas tree? What are we gonna do? I mean, we may have to cancel Christmas. Where are we supposed to put all of our presents at the tack house?", "Faith: We can celebrate Christmas with mommy.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Stitch: [Sighs] You know, you don't have to spend Christmas by yourself. I'm sure Avery would love to spend the day with you.", "Dylan: [Scoffs] Don't you have some patients to take care of, Stitch?", "Stitch: What about Victoria?", "Dylan: Victoria and Billy, I-I don't think they're up for a celebration this year.", "Stitch: Nikki, then.", "Dylan: Nikki? Why don't you just drop it? Drop it.", "Stitch: [Sighs] Why do you have to be so stubborn?", "Dylan: Why are you pushing this?", "Stitch: Because they're your family.", "Dylan: No, they're not my family, no matter what a DNA test says. No.", "Stitch: Oh, so you're one of those guys that doesn't believe in science?", "Dylan: Penny McAvoy is my mom. Nikki Newman is a stranger to me.", "Stitch: She doesn't have to be.", "Dylan: [Sighs]", "Nikki: Hi. Um... do you have a minute?", "Dylan: You know what? I'm kind of busy.", "Nikki: Oh, this won't take very long.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "[Door opens]", "Victoria: Hi.", "Billy: Hey.", "[Door closes]", "Victoria: Um, is everything okay?", "[Keys thud]", "Billy: Yeah. It's, uh... [Clears throat] You know what? Close your eyes.", "Victoria: Why? What? What's going on?", "Billy: I've got a surprise for you. Close your eyes. When -- when people say \"Close your eyes,\" it usually is a surprise.", "Victoria: I don't know. I'm closing my eyes.", "Billy: Perfect. Okay. Wait right here. Close your eyes.", "Victoria: They're closed. You should hurry, because I'm not really that good at the suspense thing.", "Billy: Well, all right. Keep them closed.", "Victoria: They're closed.", "Billy: Doing a great job.

I love it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: All right, Sweetheart. Now, you know I was just kidding, right, about canceling Christmas? I mean, even if we don't have a tree, we can still decorate the house.", "Sharon: Yeah, you could put lights and tinsel on that big potted plant you have.", "Nick: Santa might leave you a few extra presents 'cause we're so original.", "Faith: It won't be the same without a tree.", "Nick: Hmm. All right. Ooh! [Snaps fingers] We'll go chop one down. I'll get an axe. We'll go out on the ranch, and we'll just take one down. It'll be fun.", "Faith: Why can't we have Christmas with mommy?", "Nick: Um, well, because...", "Sharon: Because, um... well, I-I can't really think of a reason.

That's a really good idea.", "Billy: Does that work? Um... it's a little small and glittery.", "Victoria: Okay.", "Billy: Doesn't really fit the whole thing.

[ "[Knock on door]", "Sharon: Faith? Sweetheart?", "Faith: Go away!", "Sharon: You were so amazing onstage. Tonight was your night. I'm so sorry that your dad and I spoiled it by fighting. Can you forgive me?", "Faith: [Sniffles]", "Sharon: Faith, will you open this door so we can talk about this?", "[Footsteps approach]", "Sharon: [Sighs] She won't even talk to me.", "Dylan: Sharon.", "Sharon: What was I thinking, asking nick to give up his time with Faith in front of her friends backstage. She was right there to hear us bickering. I couldn't have picked a worse time.", "Dylan: Come on, Sharon. This isn't your fault.", "Sharon: Really? Whose fault is it, then?", "Dylan: Look, you were calm and reasonable. Nick's the one who escalated things.", "Sharon: I-I just should have waited.", "Dylan: Well, that could have helped. It might not have helped. We don't know. But nick should never have gone at you like that.", "Sharon: He's still angry with me. What other reason does he need?", "Dylan: Exactly. He's still caught up in being wounded and he's not thinking clearly. He's not thinking about Faith and what's best for her, which is spending more time with her mom.", "Nick: What the hell is her problem?", "Nikki: Where shall I begin?", "Nick: Faith has been looking forward to this night for months, and Sharon destroyed it by demanding for more time with Faith, wants to change the visitation agreement just before Christmas? I mean, how selfish is that?", "Nikki: What would you expect from the woman who kept your child from you? She'd still be pretending that Christian was hers if she hadn't have been forced to tell the truth.", "Nick: You know, I don't trust Sharon for a lot of obvious reasons, but we have to do everything we can to make sure she doesn't try and pull anything with Faith.", "Nikki: And you know she will given the chance.", "Nick: I want our lawyers all over this. Dad, I assume you're way ahead of me on this?", "Victor: You know, son, normally that's the route I would take, but I don't think we should do it this time.", "Christine: I have been after this guy for years. Never able to get a conviction. Either the evidence disappeared or the witnesses suddenly changed their mind about testifying.", "Paul: Right, I know. I know the history. I want to nail this guy as badly as you do.", "Christine: And I can't afford another acquittal. I need this case airtight.", "Paul: Right, and for that to happen, Chris, someone has got to go deep undercover and infiltrate the organization and bring in evidence that's not gonna unravel. That's gonna take a lot of man hours and total dedication.", "Christine: Yes, and a willingness to put himself in danger. You know what these people are capable of.", "Paul: [Sighs] Okay, ask your question.", "Christine: Are you sure that Dylan is right for this case?", "Paul: I am absolutely positive. He is the best man I have.", "Christine: What have you told him about the assignment?", "Paul: Okay, not all the nuts and bolts, but, uh, he is up for the challenge.", "Christine: [Sighs] Gosh.", "Paul: [Sighs] Do you have a problem with this?", "Christine: [Sighs] What worries me is that you don't.", "Michael: Yeah, look, I'm just about to walk into a meeting. Shoot me an e-mail, and we'll touch base in two or three days, okay? Thank you. Right. Good night. I am so sorry I'm late. You have my undivided attention.", "Jill: How wonderful.", "Michael: [Sighs] So, on the phone, you said you need some legal advice.", "Jill: Yes, Michael, but not your average \"call up any lawyer in the phone book\" legal advice. I need a ruthless, unrelenting bastard of an attorney. So, can you help me?", "Michael: [Inhales deeply] Waiter! Drink, please.", "Sharon: Thank you.", "Dylan: Better?", "Sharon: At least now I know not to push this. You know the last thing that I want is to upset nick.", "Dylan: That doesn't take much these days.", "Sharon: Well, that's for sure. And it's really hard on me and on Faith and you. As much as I want to spend more time with her, I'm thinking we should just leave the schedule the way that it was and not try to talk nick into letting Faith spend every night here during the holidays.", "Dylan: You know, maybe it should be more than the holidays.", "Sharon: You can't mean...", "Dylan: Yeah, why not?", "Sharon: You think I should try for full custody?", "Dylan: Look, I-I think Faith is at an age where she needs her mom to be a bigger presence in her life.", "Sharon: But, Dylan --", "Dylan: Yeah, I know. We should just at least discuss it, don't you think?", "Sharon: She's locked in her room right now and won't even talk to me. You heard what she said backstage. She wants a divorce from nick and me. Now's not a time to force her in to anything, not when she hates me.", "Dylan: Sharon, she hates the fighting. Not you. That was her way of telling you two to pay attention to what this is doing to her. But the only one keeping this conflict alive is nick.", "Sharon: Well, he has a right to be angry with me, wouldn't you agree?", "Dylan: Look, I understand, but it's not about him. And he's not understanding that. We need to do what's best for the kids.", "Sharon: Yes, but still --", "Dylan: Right, so she's using this word \"divorce\" because that's all she sees around her. Half her friends are from broken homes. And look at her family. Anytime there's trouble, they just -- they leave. They don't even try to work things out because it's not easy. It takes hard choices and it takes compromise on both sides. And it's time somebody made nick realize that.", "Victor: [Sighs] Don't you think our family has spent enough time in courtrooms?", "Nick: I hear what you're saying.", "Victor: What? You disagree?", "Nick: I just feel like I need to get out in front of this. I don't want Sharon filling Faith's head with a bunch of crazy ideas, trying to manipulate this situation.", "Victor: I understand your concern, but I think it's a mistake to involve lawyers right off the bat.", "Nikki: Victor, I don't understand why you're not encouraging Nicholas to be proactive.", "Victor: Sweetheart, think about for a moment what it means to Faith to be in the middle of a courtroom battle between mother and father. I don't think it helps matters.", "Nick: Well, neither will leaving things the way they are. Faith needs to know that she has at least one stable parent. I mean, who knows what kind of poison Sharon and Dylan are putting into Faith's head about me.", "Nikki: All right, now wait a minute. That's Sharon. Dylan would never do anything like that.", "Nick: I'm really surprised, dad, that you're not with me on this. Protecting the family -- that's your motive for everything.", "Victor: Son, I understand, you know, you having questions about that, but -- and I certainly have used a heavy hand in the past. I'm known for that. But in this case, I honestly think it's counterproductive.", "Nick: Faith's upset, and she's confused, and I don't want her worried about what's coming next. I want her to feel loved and safe. I want her to know that her world is rock solid.", "Victor: But that's exactly why I suggest we go about it in a different way.", "Paul: Dylan is absolutely the right cop to put on this case. He's done the groundwork. It's already in motion. Why are we having this debate?", "Christine: I just don't know if he's in the right frame of mind to take on something like this.", "Paul: I asked him that question.", "Christine: And?", "Paul: He said he is fine.", "Christine: [Sighs] Of course he did.", "Paul: Okay, Chris, what are you saying? That because he's had a rough couple of weeks, automatically he isn't able to focus on the job at hand?", "Christine: What he's been going through is a little more serious than a rough couple of weeks.", "Paul: Agreed. It is, uh, an exceptional situation. But I think he's doing a very good job.", "Christine: Would you treat another officer like this? Would you put him in this situation under these circumstances?", "Paul: Come on, Chris. You know as well as I do that at one time or another, every cop on the force has had to deal with a personal crisis, but they still do the job. They're professionals.", "Christine: This is a really dangerous situation, taking down the worst kind of criminals. There's so many things that could go wrong, and he's never done this kind of work before! Don't you remember the first time you went undercover?", "Paul: I do. It's completely different. I was-- I wasn't even a cop. I was just trying to save my dad.", "Christine: God, I remember you telling me so vividly. Carl was framed by the mob. He was kicked off the force. And you were determined to clear his name. So you went undercover to get the answers you needed. But you told me, Paul -- you told me you were so scared.", "Paul: I put that completely out of my mind. I had to. And Dylan will, too.", "Christine: Okay, but the difference is, Carl didn't know what was going on. If he had, never in a million years would he have approved it, because you didn't have experience!", "Paul: The difference is Dylan does have experience. He is a veteran. He has proven to be cool under fire. I trust him implicitly. He's talented. He is resourceful.", "Christine: And I am not challenging his competence.", "Paul: Are you challenging mine?", "Christine: God, you are throwing your son into harm's way! Can you really live with that?", "[Knock on door, door opens]", "Lauren: Hi. The sergeant said to come in. Oh. Am I early?", "Paul: No. No, you're fine.", "Jill: Well?", "Michael: There's some clever wording, a bit of vague language here and there, but for the most part, it's pretty straightforward. You pay them rent and they give you space to operate brash & sassy.", "Jill: Okay, so bottom line -- my lease will hold, yes? Jack can't kick us out of our office space?", "Michael: He can try. But he'll lose.", "Jill: [Gasps] Yes! I knew it!", "Michael: Unless there's more to this.", "Jill: What are you talking about?", "Michael: Do you think there's any way Jack could prove that either chancellor or their subsidiary's in breach?", "Jill: No. No way.", "Michael: Are you sure? Because he obviously thinks there's something he can hang his hat on or he wouldn't incur the legal expenses.", "Jill: No, no, no. You are assuming that Jack is acting logically, and he's not, okay? Brash & sassy have been ideal clients according to anybody's standards.", "Michael: All right, then what's driving this sudden eviction?", "Jill: Well, I would think it would be pretty obvious. It's a vendetta against Billy.", "Michael: That's all? Really? I mean, you're not leaving anything out?", "Jill: Well, lately he has been making a little bit of noise about wanting the competition out of the building.", "Michael: Even though he's the one who approved this lease?", "Jill: Exactly. And then suddenly, out of nowhere, he's deeply concerned about corporate theft? I'll tell you what that is. That is code for his brother sleeping with his wife.", "Michael: All right, all right, let me get this straight just so we're clear. You're saying that this push to get you out of the building --", "Jill: In a few days, I might add.", "Michael: All right. This -- this push to get you out of the building is strictly a desire for personal vengeance.", "Jill: Exactly. He wants Billy out of his sight. It is a petty act of vindictiveness.", "Michael: Let me ask you a question, Jill.", "Jill: Okay.", "Michael: Is this a fight you really want to have?", "Lauren: I cannot believe that Michael isn't here.", "[Door closes]", "Lauren: We said we were gonna meet at 6:00. Should I call the restaurant? Should I push back our reservation?", "Christine: No, I think we'll be fine. Um, just excuse me for one second. I have to make a call.", "Lauren: Sure. [Sighs]", "Paul: All right. So you see there? That's the reason we don't meet here. There's an argument to meet somewhere like the restaurant.", "Lauren: [Laughing] That's for sure. You're singing to the choir. I mean, it's very hard to leave the office at the end of the day, right?", "Paul: So tell me. Uh... how are things at Fenmore's?", "Lauren: Well, certainly not as dire as the look on your face.", "Paul: Oh. Well, that's only because the last time we spoke, you --", "Lauren: I was venting.", "Paul: Are you sure that's all it was?", "Lauren: [Scoffs] Honey, you worry too much. Everything's fine.", "Paul: You know you can always talk to me, right?", "Lauren: Yes. Business is tough. It's certainly not for the faint of heart.", "Paul: You know, I've heard you described a lot of ways over the years. \"Faint of heart\" ain't one of them.", "Lauren: It's a bump. Do you know how many of those I've had to deal with over the years? People scrutinizing me, wondering where my weak spot is, if I'm up to the task.", "Paul: What do you mean? Bankers, vendors? Who are you talking about?", "Lauren: Your mother.", "[Both laugh]", "Paul: My mother.", "Lauren: She never approved of me, not for one minute.", "Paul: No, you're right. You, uh, you had to put up with a lot, I must say.", "Lauren: [Laughing] I did. I did. Oh, and what about Mary's signature dish?", "Paul: Sauerkraut and spare ribs.", "Lauren: Oh! She made that every time we went there for dinner!", "Paul: Well, that's because she was under the impression it was my favorite.", "Lauren: [Laughing] Oh, no. She did that because she knew I detested it.", "Paul: Oh.", "Lauren: Do you know to this day I cannot look at sauerkraut without seeing your mother's face?", "Paul: Well, I did lead her to believe that it -- it was indeed my favorite.", "Lauren: Because you're a good son.", "Paul: No, because I'm a good liar. I mean, my mom was a lot of great things, but, uh... a gourmet chef was not one of them.", "Lauren: [Laughs] No! Can you imagine what she would have done with a steak? Arson is a crime, you know.", "Paul: Yes. And now I'm the chief.", "Lauren: Right. [Laughing] Right, right.", "Paul: You know, all kidding aside... I know what a fighter you are. And I also know when you're hiding something behind your tough facade that you're not willing to admit. So why don't you just tell me what is really going on with Fenmore's. Please.", "Lauren: [Sighs]", "Victor: Nicholas. Sharon is pushing your buttons. She has done that before. It's a trap. Don't fall for it.", "Nikki: I have to agree with your father. I mean, as much as I want to see Sharon punished for what she's done, we do have to think about Faith and what's best for her.", "Victor: The last thing we should do right now is put Faith in the middle of a court battle between father and mother. It's no good.", "Nick: I already lost a year with my son. I don't want to give up any time with my daughter.", "Victor: Nicholas, you're a wonderful father.", "Nick: Faith said she wants a divorce from me and Sharon. Right now I'm not feeling like a very wonderful father.", "Victor: Faith loves you. If there's a contest between you and Sharon, there is no contest. You're the one she can count on.", "Nikki: Honey, she has already chosen to live with you. She has already said where she wants to be.", "Victor: Son, think about it for a moment. Right now you are in the driver's seat. You have the power. If you go after Sharon, attack her, she'll become the victim. That's counterproductive. That's a mistake.", "Nick: Well, who knows what's going on in Sharon's head. I mean, for her to ask me to give up the entire holiday season with Faith? Why would she think I would do that for even a second?", "Nikki: She wasn't thinking, obviously, as usual.", "Nick: If Sharon gets desperate enough, I wouldn't put it past her. She may try and undermine me with Faith, make her think that I'm just too busy with Christian and I don't have time for her or make her feel like her little brother means more to me than she does. [Sighs]", "Nikki: Honey. Being a parent, especially when you're on your own, is a juggling act. And I know, because I've done it. But you happen to do those things extremely well.", "Victor: Your kids have always come first with you. No one is more involved with his children than you. Everyone knows that. So does Faith. So if she wants to spend a few miles with Sharon, let her. She will always come back here, because she knows this is her family. This is her home. And who would want to miss all the fun at Christmas at the Newmans'?", "[Blocks clatter]", "[Container thuds]", "Nick: Thanks, both of you.", "Nikki: Wait. Where are you going?", "Nick: I'm going to get my daughter.", "[Door opens]", "[Door closes]", "Michael: Jill, how well will your team perform if you insist on staying in enemy territory? 'Cause I promise you, if you fight this eviction and win, Jack is gonna turn that high rise into a battle zone.", "Jill: If you're trying to talk me out of suing Jack, you're doing a lousy job.", "Michael: No, look, he's offered to pay movers to relocate you.", "Jill: Oh!", "Michael: It's a gesture. Jill, look, surely the jabot building isn't the only available office space in Genoa city.", "Jill: No, Michael, but it is the only one with a state-of-the-art r&d lab in it, and I'm not willing to give that up because Jack is behaving like a horse's ass.", "Michael: Well, for good reason, don't you think?", "Jill: You know, this thing between Jack and Billy is theirs, okay? They can handle it on their own time. I am not gonna let it negatively affect my cosmetics division. Now, in any case, you asked me before if there's any chance that Jack could pull a rabbit out of a hat and prove that we've been bad tenants. Well, there isn't. There is our documentation for our case. It's all our canceled checks that prove we paid on time. It's proof that we complied with the building's regulations, including the ridiculous insistence by Jack that Billy be accompanied by security at all times.", "Michael: [Chuckles] Security. Why is that?", "Jill: It's not funny. It's not funny.", "Michael: Why?", "Jill: My son is a shareholder at jabot. He's a member of the board at jabot. He had the audacity to walk up to the jabot floor on personal business one time.", "Michael: Uh-huh. \"Personal business.\" Is that perhaps a euphemism for Phyllis?", "Jill: [Sighs] Jack threw a tantrum, okay, and he banished Billy from the building, and then he went and hired a guard to accompany him at all times, even on our floor.", "Michael: I see.", "Jill: You know, he has created a hostile working environment. I could sue him for harassment. Please feel free to tell his lawyers that.", "Michael: [Sighs]", "Jill: Ugh! I don't want to think about it. Okay, put these away. Now, let's you and I have another drink, and we can talk about more pleasant things.", "Michael: Well, as delightful as that sounds, I'm gonna have to give you a rain check.", "Jill: Boo. Why?", "Michael: Lauren and I are having dinner with Paul and Christine.", "Jill: Well, just a quick drink. Waiter, please, another round.", "Michael: Jill --", "Jill: Thank you. So, tell me about yourself. Oh, how was your anniversary?", "Michael: It was...pretty amazing. I mean, for the most part.", "Jill: Mm-hmm. \"For the most part\"?", "Michael: It's the Christmas buying season. Lauren's busiest time, as you well know. There's always some crisis brewing. I mean, she was fielding phone calls all night.", "Jill: Hmm. What kind of a crisis?", "Michael: You'll have to ask her.", "Paul: You know, you don't have to deal with this all yourself. If you're afraid I'm gonna tell the wrong person, scout's honor.", "Lauren: It's not that.", "Paul: Well...", "Lauren: You know I trust you.", "Paul: Okay. Then talk to me.", "Lauren: [Sighs] It's been a challenging year.", "Paul: Oh, there's progress. [Laughs] Challenging how?", "Lauren: Oh, I don't want to bore you with all the stuffy accounting stuff.", "Paul: Bore me.", "Lauren: Suffice to say that a good Christmas, it's gonna turn it all around.", "Paul: Have you talked to Michael about any of this? [Sighs] Why not?", "Lauren: He has enough on his plate. I don't need to worry him needlessly.", "Paul: He's your husband. That's what we're for, remember?", "Lauren: Yes. And as my ex-husband, you have been filling in very nicely.", "Paul: [Chuckles] It doesn't feel like it. I want you to feel comfortable to talk about --", "Christine: Looks serious in here. What did I miss?", "Lauren: Oh. [Chuckles] Nothing important.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Lauren: Excuse me. I'm sorry, guys. I need to take this. Hi, Andrew. What's up? Okay, I'm on my way. Thanks. I'm sorry, guys. I have to go to this meeting quickly with my regional manager.", "Paul: Is everything okay?", "Lauren: Yeah, everything's fine.", "Christine: You want us to call Michael? We can cancel, change.", "Lauren: No, no, no. No, no, no. Uh, it's not a big deal. Won't take long. I'll meet you there, okay?", "Paul: Okay. Sounds good.", "Dylan: Hey. Faith's got to be hungry. She went upstairs without dinner.", "Sharon: Okay, I'm gonna take that up to her.", "Dylan: Uh, let me. Neutral party.", "Sharon: You're right. You're good with her. Maybe she will talk to you.", "Dylan: Yeah, let's hope.", "Dylan: Isn't this something?", "Sharon: The artwork you did there, it's -- I mean, it's dazzling.", "Faith: Thank you.", "Dylan: And complete with a \"D\" for Dylan.", "Faith: \"D\" is also for \"Daddy,\" which is what you are now to Sully, and kind of to me, too. Right, Mommy?", "Sharon: Right.", "Dylan: No one can replace your dad. But I couldn't be prouder to be like another dad to you.", "[Pounding on door]", "Sharon: Nick.", "Nick: I came to get Faith to bring her home.", "Sharon: Did she call you?", "Nick: No.", "Sharon: I don't understand. Why are you doing this?", "Nick: Because Faith needs stability and continuity.", "Sharon: She's still very upset about what happened earlier, remember?", "Dylan: Hey, Faith.", "Sharon: She needs to calm down.", "Dylan: You okay?", "Nick: Well, she can calm down at my house where I know she's the most comfortable.", "Dylan: Hey, come on. Open up. I got some food for you.", "Sharon: She's already settled in her bed. If you try to drag her out of here now for no reason --", "Nick: There is a reason. I already told you what it was.", "Sharon: You're just gonna make things worse.", "Nick: Faith won't see it like that, me dragging her out of here, unless you put that in her head.", "Sharon: Don't do this. Just let her spend the night here. We can talk about this tomorrow.", "Nick: I am through talking.", "Sharon: Nick, please! I don't want to fight with you about this!", "Nick: I don't want to fight, either! Faith!", "Dylan: Faith's not up there.", "Nick: Where is she?", "Paul: Yeah, I'll get these back to you as soon as I can, all right?", "Christine: So when I walked in earlier, um, it looked like Lauren was trying a little too hard to pretend like everything's okay, or am I just imagining that?", "Paul: Uh, no, you're not.", "Christine: So what's going on? Or are you sworn to secrecy?", "Paul: No. I wouldn't keep any secrets from you, and Lauren wouldn't expect me to.", "Christine: No, I'm not trying to be nosy. It's just Lauren's my friend, too, so I was concerned.", "Paul: I got the impression that things at Fenmore's are pretty rocky at the moment.", "Christine: How bad?", "Paul: Well, she didn't go into specifics. Just that she's dealing with a whole hell of a lot.", "Christine: I'm really sorry to hear that.", "Paul: Yeah, me, too. I wish she would talk to Michael about it. He could offer her some support. I mean, it's obvious she could clearly use some.", "Christine: Michael doesn't know?", "Paul: No, uh, not all of it. Maybe not even most of it.", "[Knock on door]", "Paul: Uh --", "Michael: Hey.", "Paul: Hey there.", "Michael: I am starving. Are we all ready to go? Where's Lauren?", "Lauren: [Indistinct] Thank you.", "Jill: Hi.", "Lauren: [Gasps]", "Jill: [Chuckles]", "Lauren: You scared me.", "Jill: Who was that? He looked really familiar.", "Lauren: Did he? Really? That just happens to be Fenmore's Midwest regional manager, Andrew.", "Jill: Ohh. Didn't look too happy.", "Lauren: No, it's the holidays.", "Jill: Is there a problem there?", "Lauren: It's always something.", "Jill: Something I can help with?", "Lauren: No, it's already taken care of. Listen, uh, Michael and I have plans tonight, so --", "Jill: No, I know. I know all about them.", "Lauren: You do?", "Jill: Yeah, I just met with Michael awhile ago right here.", "Lauren: All right, well --", "Jill: And you'll never guess why.", "Lauren: You know what? I'm sorry. I'm already late.", "Jill: No, this will only take a minute.", "Lauren: Okay. All right, what, what, what?", "Jill: Jack is on the warpath. He's trying to evict brash & sassy from his building. Okay, you remember we took over the floor with Ashley's lab on it?", "Lauren: Yeah, I was there.", "Jill: Yeah, well, aren't you gonna ask me why he's trying to boot us out?", "Lauren: All right, Jill, why's he trying?", "Jill: It's all about punishing Billy. He's making noise, he's beating his chest, a big testosterone display.", "Lauren: Jill --", "Jill: I'll tell you something. No, no, no, no. This is only gonna take a minute. I can make noise, too. Chancellor can make noise, too. If he dares to try to evict us, he's gonna regret it. And I'm sorry. I know you're in a hurry and it's all about me. Tell me about you. Michael said you had a great anniversary.", "Lauren: Yeah. It was wonderful. And now I'm gonna go --", "Jill: Dinner plans. I got it. And also problem with the business. What would that be about?", "Lauren: [Sighs] Nothing for you to worry about.", "Dylan: Faith's room was empty. The window was open.", "Nick: She must have climbed down the lattice.", "Victor: Where else have you looked so far?", "Dylan: We split up and searched the area between the two houses.", "Nick: She's not at my place.", "Sharon: We were hoping she would have come up here.", "Nick: Has she?", "Nikki: I'm sorry, honey. We haven't seen her all evening.", "Dylan: Damn it.", "Victor: My granddaughter Faith is missing. I want you to search the grounds immediately, all right?", "Nick: What the hell happened? I mean, what did you say to her?", "Sharon: Excuse me?", "Nick: You heard me.", "Sharon: I didn't -- that's not how it happened.", "Dylan: Okay, don't start throwing around accusations, all right? It's not gonna help. We just need to stay calm right now.", "Nick: Don't talk to me about being calm, all right? My little girl's gone, not that you'd know anything about that.", "Nikki: Nicholas, please.", "Nick: Mom, he is not her father!", "Dylan: Why would you even say that? I treat Faith like she's my own.", "Nikki: We know that. We're not even questioning that.", "Nick: I am just trying to figure out why this would happen. Why would my daughter run away like this?", "Sharon: She locked herself in her room and wouldn't talk to me. She was so upset about seeing us fighting.", "Nick: Because you're trying to change the visitation agreement. Or are you going after more than just that?", "Nikki: All right, stop! Let's not rehash this, okay? It's very cold outside. The little girl is out there, and we've got to find her! Please. I'm gonna stay here and wait for Faith in case she comes here.", "Dylan: Okay. Sharon and I are gonna keep looking.", "Nick: Yeah, we all will.", "[Door opens]", "[Door closes]", "Lauren: [Sighs]", "Jill: Lauren, you can't keep me in the dark where Fenmore's is concerned. I have a right to know. I have partial ownership of the company, remember?", "Lauren: How could I forget? But let's be honest. I run the day-to-day. I'm the one that makes the decisions.", "Jill: Why are you so defensive about this?", "Lauren: Oh, would you enjoy being interrogated?", "Jill: I wasn't trying to interrogate --", "Lauren: Oh, of course you were! You can't even help yourself! You can't even pick our regional manager out of a lineup, but, oh, you have no problem throwing your weight around. You have no idea what I'm up against. None!", "Jill: Shh! Calm down. Just give me a general overview. What is your inventory picture? Are you overstocked? What have your sales been like leading up to the fourth quarter? And have you looked at your online presence? 'Cause I did, and it's a bit of a mess.", "Lauren: All right, I have been in this business my whole life. It is my life! I know the name of every designer, everything! I know the price of silk in Malaysia! I know what millennials are wearing in the east village!", "Jill: Honey, honey, honey, honey! I'm not attacking you or your business acumen or your ability, okay, or your dedication. I'm trying to help you, sis.", "Lauren: You know what? I don't need your help or your sage advice. In fact, I don't need you or anyone else, for that matter.", "Jill: Oh!", "Nick: Mom? Hey, it's nick. Any sign of her? All right, keep looking.", "[Door closes]", "Nick: Any luck?", "Dylan: No.", "Nick: Where could she be?", "Dylan: Well, nick, if I knew...", "Nick: I mean, Faith is going through hell right now trying to make sense of everything, like how her mother could keep my son from me. Now Sharon has the gall to ask me to give up time with my daughter?", "Dylan: She's Sharon's daughter, too.", "Nick: You really want to do this right now? Do you think that'll help?", "Dylan: You know what? Part of me thinks it's good that Faith overheard everybody arguing. You're getting a good look at how you're hurting her.", "Nick: How I'm hurting her?!", "Dylan: Look, you said it before, okay? I'm not Faith's dad. But that gives me perspective. And right now, that little girl needs her mother, something she couldn't tell you because you've decided to make Sharon the enemy! You'd rather go on punishing Sharon than do what's best for your own daughter!", "Nick: You want to talk about irresponsible?! Considering what Faith is going through right now, Sharon should have never left her alone and kept a better eye on her.", "Dylan: If you believe that, that's ri--", "Nikki: Stop it! Both of you!", "Victor: Faith? Sweetheart? It's Grandpa. Sweetheart? Oh, my goodness. My baby.", "Faith: Shh.", "Victor: Okay. Okay. My sweetheart.", "Lauren: But what about the store in Denver and phoenix? Oh, my God. They're down 17%? How can this be happening? I know what the projections were. Ann, because I helped establish them. But we're still off 8% to 10%. Okay, all right, all right. What -- what about the southeast and Atlanta and Charlotte? We're overloaded with inventory. Do you realize that we're gonna have to mark it all down and hope that we move it before the end of the next quarter, otherwise... okay. [Stammering] Ann, thank you. Thank you. I know. I know you're doing the best that you can. Thank you. [Sighs]", "Michael: I'm not surprised Lauren took off to a meeting. There are not too many people more dedicated to their work than her. I mean, sometimes I look at her schedule. I feel like a slacker.", "Christine: [Chuckles] She's been putting in long hours, huh?", "Michael: Not only that, you should hear how her employees talk about her. I mean, I'll show up at those corporate events, and they'll make a point of coming up to me to tell me how well Lauren takes care of them, how much they love working for her.", "Christine: And that's wonderful, but not at all surprising.", "Lauren: Hi.", "Paul: Whoa! You're here, thank God! Michael has been bragging about you insufferably.", "Lauren: Oh, really?", "Michael: Sue me. I'm a fan. Mwah! Mmm! You okay?", "Lauren: Yeah, of course. I'm fine.", "Michael: [Chuckles]", "Lauren: You ready to eat?", "Paul: I am ready to eat.", "Christine: I'm starving.", "Michael: I'm starving.", "Lauren: We're all starving.", "Victor: Are you okay, my baby?", "Faith: I'm cold.", "Victor: Yeah, I bet you are. I'm sorry.", "Faith: Are you mad at me, grandpa?", "Victor: No, sweetheart. Why would I be mad at you?", "Faith: For running away.", "Victor: Oh, sweetheart, no. But everyone is looking for you. Okay? They're worried about you.", "Faith: I'm not ready to go back yet.", "Victor: Okay. You don't have to, all right? You're with grandpa now. You don't have to. You're a sweet girl.", "Nikki: I love both of you, but I am not going to stand by and watch you attack each other! We need to focus on what is important right now!", "Dylan: My only concern right now is Faith.", "Nikki: Yes.", "Nick: And Sharon.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Nikki: Oh, it's victor. Yes? [Sighs] Yes, I will tell them. She's fine. She's fine.", "[All sigh]", "Dylan: Oh, thank God.", "Nick: Where is she?", "Sharon: I need to be with her.", "Nikki: No, victor said not to worry. He's with her. And we should just all take a deep breath and try to relax.", "Dylan: Yeah, well, that's a tall order.", "Nikki: Yeah, well, do it anyway. I'm gonna make us some tea.", "Sharon: Nikki. Do you need any help?", "Nikki: I can manage.", "Nick: What are we doing?", "Victor: Nice and cozy. There. Are you cozy now? Hmm? Nice and cozy now? Okay.", "Faith: Mm-hmm.", "Victor: Okay, my sweetheart.", "Faith: [Sniffles]", "Victor: You're safe now, okay? You're with grandpa. You're safe.", "Faith: [Sniffles]", "[NEXT_ON]", "Lauren: Come on. Let's open it up.", "Gloria: Whoo!", "Lauren: [Screams]", "Gloria: Deck the halls, everybody.", "Victor: Sweetheart.

No. That's not what you're doing. I know you're wondering how you can sneak some coal into my stocking.", "Billy: Sneak coal into where?", "Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Look, I know you're acting all \"ho, ho, ho,\" but I know it's eating you alive that I actually believe jack is the person to lead jabot. That's exactly why I voted for him.", "Billy: Okay. All right. We're gonna do this, aren't we?", "Phyllis: [ Sighs ]", "Billy: Okay, let's do this. I think the reason for your vote, and I'm just spitballing here, is not so much about your faith in jack's mad skills but more about this underlining guilt you have for falling in love with his sexier younger brother. That's really why you threw your ex a bone that he doesn't deserve.", "Phyllis: It really bothers you that I think jack is good at what he does. Okay, I have some guilt lingering, okay? But you, my love, you have some jealousy lingering...", "Billy: No, no. Phyllis, it's not about that.", "Phyllis: Yes, you do.", "Billy: No, it's not. You heard ashley in there, okay? Jack is overextended. He doesn't have his priorities straight, and we're not gonna just walk away. We're gonna have to -- unh-unh! Nope! No, no! No! I'm not doing this. I'm not -- I'm not gonna argue with you.", "Phyllis: Because you know I'm right.", "Billy: No. No. It's because I'm not gonna allow anything outside that door, whether it's work or family or anything come in here... and mess with what we have.", "Phyllis: No. No, we're not.", "Jack: Kyle, it's dad again.

Jack. You know, it's okay if you just took a step aside and not worry about the files. Focus on yourself. Focus on our mother. I understand. It's got to be very difficult for you to accept, but now that the board voted no confidence, it means you're not C.E.O. So why don't you just --", "Jack: Just what? Let it go? Just let it go? Is that it? That's not gonna happen, ash. As far as I'm concerned, it's business as usual.", "Devon: Hey, thank you again for letting me use this place.", "Sharon: Of course!", "Devon: I really wanted the toy drop-off location to be somewhere that was warm and festive and put people in the giving spirit, you know?", "Sharon: Well, that's what it's all about.", "Devon: This is gonna make a difference for a lot of less privileged kids.", "Sharon: I'm happy to help.

Sure you didn't buy the whole store?", "Hilary: Well, I'm just doing my little part, and -- oh! To get the word out, I also posted about the toy drive on the gc buzz website. I sent a blast out to all of my followers, and I'll be promoting it later today on my show.", "Devon: Wow. You're really going all out.", "Hilary: Well, it's a feel-good story. That's our thing, now that we're partnered with jabot.", "Sharon: Very lucky for the kids. And lucky for you, because this will no doubt give you the positive publicity that you so desperately need.", "Hilary: There is nothing wrong with that, right? As long as it's in the holiday spirit.", "Sharon: If you say so.", "Hilary: But why is it so impossible for you to believe that I can think of someone other than myself?", "Cane: Yeah, I just saw the updated projections.

So between them and my loyal viewers, I think you'll have a lot more presents coming in.", "Devon: Well, I really appreciate that, and I know the kids will, too.", "Hilary: And you should always let me know when you're doing stuff like this, okay? Because I can let my viewers know. I ask them, they deliver.", "Devon: You got it. Look at you, getting all worked up about doing nice things these days. I don't know if it's because of jack and the new direction of the show, but it's a nice fit for you, this positive energy.", "Hilary: Well, thank you. And thank you for not assuming that I have ulterior motives. Okay? Sometimes it feels good, you know, to do something nice for someone else. Okay, I guess -- I guess I am selfish because I like the way it feels.", "Devon: There's nothing wrong with that, though.", "Hilary: And I know that this is a really important cause for you because of how you grew up and everything.", "Devon: Yeah, I mean, for me, most christmases came and went because the people I was with either couldn't afford it or didn't care. Which is why I want to make sure that these kids know that there is somebody out there looking out for them and their hardworking parents. I don't know how many people we're gonna reach, but we're gonna try like hell.", "Hilary: So they feel the magic, like santa picked something out just for them.", "Devon: Exactly.", "Sharon: Here you go.", "Hilary: Thank you.", "Devon: That's on me.", "Hilary: Thank you.", "Devon: Sure.", "Hilary: Okay, well, I have to run. I have one more gift to drop off to a very special little man. Sam.", "Sharon: Cane's son.", "Hilary: Mm-hmm. That one is -- he's such a charmer.

It's never been just your company, it's a family company.", "Jack: And who the hell has been running this company all these years, making a success of it?", "Ashley: Oh, news flash -- jabot has been successful in the past without you as C.E.O., And it will be again.", "Jack: You seem awfully certain of that -- I'm not willing to take that risk.", "Ashley: It didn't work. You couldn't pull it off. You couldn't run the company from home and take care of mother. It was impossible.", "Jack: According to you.", "Ashley: Well, and the majority of the board, okay? Something had to give, jack.", "Jack: So, what, I'm supposed to just shove mother aside or just forget about our father's legacy? That's not gonna happen.", "Ashley: The board made its decision.", "Jack: Yes, because you forced the issue. And why? Was it jealousy, or just more resentment?", "Ashley: It didn't work, jack. It was too much for you.", "Jack: Who the hell are you to decide that? I have been running this company for years without anyone looking over my shoulder. I will continue to do that, thank you very much.", "Ashley: It's too late. What you need to do now is allow jabot to have the leadership that it deserves.", "Jack: I'm not having any part of this conversation.

This isn't really the kind of news one can put into a text.", "Victor: You mean that you're home?", "Nikki: Mm. And why. That would be key.", "Victor: Well, victoria's on a business trip. I'm sure she'll be very happy to hear that her parents have gotten back together.", "Nikki: Well, that's a very generous way of putting it.", "Victor: How else would you put it?", "Nikki: Well, I'm not sure, considering the choice was either prison or the ranch.", "Victor: That's one way of interpreting it, yeah.", "Nikki: You are enjoying this.", "Victor: Well, you should enjoy it, as well, you know? I mean... you came here for the tree lighting and for thanksgiving, and now you don't need an excuse to be here for christmas.", "Nikki: How thoughtful of you to plan ahead. And kind of you to not have me arrested.", "Victor: Yes, well... you embezzled funds, you stole from me. I could have thrown you to the wolves, but I prefer to have you here.", "Nikki: Yes, it's much more entertaining for you to keep me on my toes, isn't it?", "Victor: Well, we are starting a new chapter of our lives, and redefining our relationship. All you have to do is accept the new normal, and everything will be fine. My dad'S.", "Cane: All right, your timing is perfect because I just got great news, and I want to share it with someone.", "Hilary: Okay.", "Cane: I spoke to the doctor, and he said that sam is gonna be coming home before the new year.", "Hilary: Oh, cane, that is fantastic news, and poetic, as well, because it's a new year, and it's the start of sam's new life at home with his dad. What? Why do people keep looking at me like that today? As if I have two heads.", "Cane: You know, um, when you think about it, it's kind of -- it's interesting that, you know, you're here cheering me on, and I'm grateful for it, you know? It's bizarre, but it'S... it's kind of bizarre in a good way.", "Hilary: I guess life is full of surprises.", "Cane: Yeah.", "Hilary: Just like...this bag.", "Cane: Mm. And what is in this bag?", "Hilary: Presents for sam.", "[ Chuckles ]", "Cane: Really?", "Hilary: Yes. I wrapped it all separately so, you know, I still have time to return it if there's anything that you don't approve of.", "Cane: All right. Oh!", "Hilary: Okay, see, that one i wasn't too sure about because it's preemie size, but how long are they officially a preemie?", "Cane: It's adorable. Ah!", "Hilary: And they say it's never too early to start reading to babies.", "Cane: This is very true. Okay.", "Hilary: And those, I just -- I loved the colors. So you need to take pictures when he's playing with them, okay?", "Cane: Well, uh, you know that he won't be playing with these for a while, right?", "Hilary: Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, I know. I know. [ Chuckles ]", "Cane: Uh-huh.", "Hilary: How long is a while?", "Cane: Months. Actually, uh, quite a few months.", "Hilary: I'm sorry.", "Cane: No, no. It's all right.

They were given to you by our good friend hilary.\"", "Billy: You and jack are all good and you wanted to give me the good news?", "Ashley: Yeah, not exactly.", "Billy: Oh, come on. That's a shame. I wanted to come here and sing \"jingle bells\" wearing matching sweaters and drinking hot toddies. Can I still get a hot toddy?", "Ashley: Mm, maybe later.", "Billy: Gonna hold you to that.", "Ashley: Okay, but you have to be serious now, okay? Because jack's not here, traci's not here, and mother's upstairs resting, and I need to talk to the only...sibling that I have that will listen to me. Mrs. Newman? Where would you like these?", "Nikki: Oh, uh, one of the guest suites, please.", "Victor: In fact, it's the second suite on the left, all right? Everything has been freshly made up for the lady. Yes, sir.", "Nikki: Well, you have thought of everything, haven't you?", "Victor: Oh, yeah. You didn't think that I would share a bedroom with you after all that you've done to me.", "Nikki: Victor, you are so unpredictable, I really didn't know what to expect, but I'm happy to see that we're on the same page, where this matter is concerned.", "Victor: I think we have to discuss a few things, talk about our new arrangement.", "Billy: How you holding up?", "Ashley: Oh, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?", "Billy: Is that how we're gonna do this?", "Ashley: [ Sighs ] No. Do you think that I'm selfish?", "Billy: No. Next question.", "Ashley: Do you think that i am power-hungry and overly ambitious and destructive?", "Billy: Where is this coming from?", "Ashley: I don't want you to think that I was pushing for jack to be replaced as C.E.O. As some kind of a power play or that it's some kind of a secret ambition of mine. I'm honestly just trying to safeguard the company, and I'm looking out for jack's well-being because he has spread himself too thin. He thinks he can be all things, billy, to all people. He can't! He can't run the company from home and take care of our mother. It's impossible. Nobody could do that.", "Billy: I'm with you, ash. Me and my vote. Look, I understand why you went to the board, and I understand that was a very difficult decision. So why are you questioning yourself now? Because that's what you're doing, isn't it?", "Phyllis: Look who's here. I just had a meeting. What's your excuse?", "Jack: Do I need one?", "Phyllis: I can't imagine it's pleasant at home.", "Jack: Well, that's a nice way of putting it.", "Phyllis: And yet you're sitting at a bar, alone.", "Jack: I'm not alone. The bartender's right over there.", "Phyllis: And you're telling him about the jabot vote and how your sister wounded you?", "Jack: Why do you think he walked away from me?", "Phyllis: Well, I'm here, ready to listen.", "Jack: You're humoring me. You think I'm running on empty because of dina, that I'm angry and resentful and wound up and stepping over everyone because i can't allow my ego to see that there might be somebody else who could run jabot.", "Phyllis: Well, part of that isn't a lie. Hey. It's coming from the best possible place. Yes, you do run on emotion. And, yes, your ego can be a bit hefty. And, yes, nobody but you should be running jabot, including your cold- fish, condescending, self-righteous sister.", "Jack: Tell me something. At the vote -- did you back me just to stick it to ashley?", "Phyllis: Not entirely, but it doesn't hurt. Let's be honest, I don't think ashley should be calling the shots. I think she's petty. I think she loves to wield her power over the minions, especially of the ones she disapproves of.", "Jack: There was a time you would have said the same of me.", "Phyllis: Well, that time is not now. C.E.O. Is not a popularity contest. It's focus. It means fighting for what's right. And now that I'm on the board, i can fight with you.", "Jack: I have to be honest with you, I only asked you to be on the board so that I'd have support at the meeting.", "Phyllis: Oh, and so now you're saying that you don't want my support any longer? Because that would imply that you and I are pals, after everything I put you through? You don't need to forgive me, jack. What I did was unforgivable. But if you're worried that you cannot trust me, and that's why you don't want me to have a voice at jabot --", "Jack: I'm glad you're at jabot. Glad you're on the board. Glad... glad you're in my corner. Hi, I'm mike ditka.", "Victor: I don't need to tell you that the newman name has been damaged, both in the business world and publicly. And I want that to be rectified. I made that name, I nurtured it. I want it to shine again.", "Nikki: I understand what you want, and despite the fact that we will be staying in separate rooms, we will be mr. And mrs. Victor newman again. And I'm assuming to keep that image up, we might have to do a little bit more than the occasional staged photo op.", "Victor: Any objections to that?", "Nikki: Uh, for the record, no, I have no objections, and off the record, I don't know that I can afford to object. I did take money from you, so...", "Victor: [ Laughing ] You took money from me... you stole money from me!", "Nikki: Yes, and I put you... in a very dangerous position with paul and christine, and i regret the distress that caused you and victoria.", "Victor: Is that meant as an apology?", "Nikki: It is an apology. I am very sorry, victor.", "Victor: Mm. All right.", "Nikki: Now, I have some requirements of my own.", "Victor: Okay.", "Nikki: I would like you to make sizable donations to several of my favorite charities.", "Victor: That's no problem.", "Nikki: And I reserve the right to take solo vacations whenever I feel the need to... get away from here.", "Victor: Again, no problem, because I want to do the same. Now, I don't think we need to, uh, you know, write up some agreement whereby you agree not to malign my name or our family's name or the company's name.", "Nikki: A word against you is a word against myself at this point, so, no, we don't need to write that down.", "Victor: Good. Now, you enjoy being mrs. Newman again, don't you? I mean, you must have missed the enormous power that goes along with that. Being chairwoman of various gala parties and being in the society pages... all that went away when you moved out.", "Nikki: Now I'm back at your side, ready to use your resources to my full advantage.", "Victor: [ Chuckles ] I'm sure you will. And to the outside world, we will appear to be a very loving happy power couple.", "Victor: As it should be. But behind closed doors, I am not going to engage in the traditional marriage. All I'm concerned about is the newman image. I want it untarnished. I want it to shine again. And I want some transparency and honesty.", "Nikki: Hey, as long as that's a two-way street, I am happy to oblige.", "Victor: Good. Well, you know, the best deal is always the one that is mutually agreed upon, so I think you and I just made a hell of a deal. Cheers.", "Sharon: Top you off?", "Devon: Um, no, actually, I'm good. Thank you, though.", "Sharon: Uh, it looks like we're gonna have to get a bigger box.", "Devon: I know, right? Some of the people that stopped by said that they heard about the toy drive from \"the hilary hour.\" She really turned out to be quite the christmas elf. Didn't see that coming at all.", "Sharon: Do you mind if I sit?", "Devon: Yeah. Of course.", "Sharon: I just want to apologize for earlier. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable when I was talking to hilary, suggesting that she is...not quite so generous as a rule.", "Devon: Sharon, you don't have to apologize. I think most people think that about her.", "Sharon: [ Chuckles ]", "Devon: Why would you think i care?", "Sharon: Well, you and mariah have been broken up for a while now...", "Devon: Yeah?", "Sharon: And the way you look at hilary, it's as if you're hoping she's what shows up under the tree.", "Devon: What? [ Laughs ] No. That'S...not gonna happen at all.", "Cane: At the moment, I'm under a little bit of pressure at chancellor.", "Hilary: Why?", "Cane: 'Cause jill wants to sell the company.", "Hilary: Are you serious? No. No. She can't mean that.", "Cane: Yeah, she does, and the only problem is that we're in a good place, but I have to now convince her that she's making a mistake.", "Hilary: Well, six months ago, it would have made sense for jill to sell. You were in no position to help the company or yourself. You would have tanked chancellor just like you did brash & sassy.", "Cane: Uh, thanks for that. That was -- I appreciate it. Thank you.", "Hilary: But now look at you! You are a classic redemption story. And when you came on my show, the fans -- oh, my gosh, forget about it. The mail that we got, the proposals, the propositions... and just plain props for lifting yourself up out of the muck.", "Cane: You know, you should be careful with these compliments 'cause they're gonna go to my head.", "Hilary: I'm just saying that you're not the same person that you were, okay? And selling now, it would be the wrong move.", "Cane: Well, I know that. I just, uh, have to convince jill.", "Hilary: Good luck.", "[ Doorbell rings, cellphone rings ]", "Hilary: Okay, you get your phone, I will get the door for you.", "Cane: Okay.", "Lily: The holiday decorations are gorgeous. When did cane have time to decorate? I mean, he's been so busy, he could barely say hello to me when I walked in.", "Hilary: Yeah. They wanted the place to look at as festive as possible. Cane thought that sam would be home by now. Esther obviously did, too. But the good news is that the doctor thinks that sam will be home for new year'S. I think it'll be incredible, as long as jill doesn't yank the company out from under cane. You know that she wants to sell, right?", "Lily: No, I didn't know that. She can't do that. Not now.", "Hilary: Yeah, well, jill does whatever she wants. In some women, it's appealing. In her, it's just annoying.", "Lily: Well, I'm happy that sam is coming home.", "Hilary: Well, at least you wasted that lie on me, not cane.", "Lily: Excuse me?", "Hilary: Come on, when you talk to cane, you need to fake it just a little better.", "Lily: I'm not faking anything. I'm genuinely happy sam's coming home. I just don't want to get an update from you, of all people.", "Hilary: Okay, fair enough. The world's basically turned upside-down. Cane and I, in his words, are friends now.", "Lily: Oh, I bet you are. Exactly what kind of game are you playing, hilary?", "Billy: Look, ash, I get it. We're family. You hate conflict. And there's some guilt in there.", "Ashley: Some guilt? Try a lot of guilt.", "Billy: Well, trust me, I have my fair share. It wasn't that long ago jack reached out his hand and pulled me out of a burning building. We're like buddies again, and I like that. Yet I voted against him. But that vote wasn't about jack. It wasn't about my brother. That was about a C.E.O. Who unilaterally decided to buy chancellor without a business plan. He's messing up deals because he's refusing to delegate. Look, if he wants to take care of his mother, I respect that. That's a good thing. But he can't steer the jabot ship from here while he's home taking care of his mom.", "Ashley: Well, but she's my mother, too, billy. Doesn't it kind of look like I'm punishing him for taking care of her, like I refuse to?", "Billy: No.", "Ashley: I mean, it seems like I'm kind of heartless.", "Billy: I don't see it that way.", "Ashley: Jack is so angry with me. He's not really treating me like a sister now. He's kind of treating me like the enemy.", "Billy: Hey, don't go there, please.", "Ashley: No, you know, he's known longer than the rest of you that I'm not really an abbott.", "Billy: Yes, you are, damn it.", "Ashley: Okay, okay, that i don't have abbott genes. But he's never looked at me differently until now. Now he looks at me like I am an outsider, like I'm somehow taking away something that belongs to him.", "Billy: But that's just not true. I mean, look at the way he treats me. I'm not talking about after phyllis. My whole life. I mean, I'm the guy he exiled to hong kong, and then, you know, before you know it, we're bffs again. It's just the way it goes. We ping-pong back and forth a couple times a year. It has nothing to do with blood, ashley. That's just...family. It's messy and it's complicated. You are the one that said that he is trying to be everything to everyone right now, and it's just not working. Yet you're the only one that puts up their hand to say, \"hey, there is a problem here,\" okay? And the truth sometimes, ash, is hard to hear. It can be really painful, especially when it comes from someone who you love.", "Jack: I think of ashley standing in that board room, listing all my failings, which in turn means I failed my father... and, worst of all, my own son voted against me.", "Phyllis: God knows what ashley said to get him on her side.", "Jack: No, no, no, no. This was all kyle.", "Phyllis: No.", "Jack: Ashley swears she didn't try to sway him.", "Phyllis: And you believe her?", "Jack: Actually, I do.", "Phyllis: Then why would kyle do something like this?", "Jack: I don't know. I've asked him. He won't return my calls.", "Phyllis: Now, something's off here. When he left for new york, both of you were fine.", "Jack: Yeah, I thought so, too. Maybe I didn't reach out enough. Maybe I didn't visit him enough or come up with enough reasons for him to visit me. So much was going on. I got all caught up in it, and now I may have lost my son in the process.", "Phyllis: Jack, that's not what's happening here.", "Jack: I'm not the father i wanted to be to my son. I'm not the son I wanted to be to my mother. And, according to ashley and the majority of the board, I am not the leader that jabot needed. Maybe ashley's right. Maybe I took on more than i could handle.", "[ Breathes deeply ]", "Ashley: Thanks for listening. Thanks for talking me down.", "Billy: Ash, you have good instincts. Whether it's work, family, personal, I trust you. So just trust yourself.", "Ashley: What if I don't know what to do, billy? I mean, jack's not ready to step down, but he doesn't really have a choice. We're left without a C.E.O. Now.", "Billy: We have a C.E.O. It's you, okay? You were acting C.E.O. Two minutes ago until jack decided to be a super-exec and gave you the boot. That office, that title, they're rightfully yours.", "Ashley: Well, I don't necessarily disagree with you. But the board might. There was so much acrimony surrounding that vote, they might want fresh blood, somebody without so much baggage.", "Billy: Talent and experience are not baggage, okay? Look, I know you want the position, right? So just convince the board that you should be in charge.", "Jack: So, then my mother told me that I was a constant disappointment to my father and that I would never measure up to him.", "Phyllis: You can't let that get to you.", "Jack: [ Scoffs ] Kind of hard not to.", "Phyllis: I'm gonna be blunt. Your mother has one mean streak. She may be lucid or not, but whatever she told you, it was a lie.", "Jack: Well, dad's not here, so I can't exactly ask him.", "Phyllis: You don't have to. You know. Deep down.", "Jack: Yeah, I probably do. Maybe that's what's really bothering me -- deep down, i know my mother might be right.", "Phyllis: You're tired. Jack, you have a bleary-eyed look of someone who needs a break. But you're strong. You are smart. You are not only smart, but you are wily, which is even better. You're two steps ahead. [ Both chuckle ] If you want to run jabot, keep an eye on dina, then figure it out, find a way. But don't give up. Don't let them pour poison in your ear. Not ashley or dina. Being C.E.O. Of jabot is who you are. Nobody is more devoted to that company. And let's be real -- where would you be without it? And what would it be without you?", "Lily: You keep implying that I'm jealous.", "Hilary: Um, I didn't imply it. I said it straight-out.", "Lily: Well, it's ridiculous.", "Hilary: Then why are you looking at me like I'm trying to make a move on your man? Let's get one thing straight. I don't want cane -- at all. Now, I would ask you the same question, but I doubt that you would give me an honest answer.", "Lily: You just love telling me everything I don't know about my own...", "Hilary: [ Chuckling ] There it is -- your own what? Your husband? Your ex? The love of your life? See, this isn't about me getting the inside scoop from cane about the baby or work. This is about you and how you thought things would be by now.", "Lily: Well, cane's moved on. He has a new title, a new baby, you know? Everything is moving so fast.", "Hilary: Isn't that what you wanted? No more limbo, no more dragging things out? Oh, but now speed -- it's not all that appealing, is it?", "Lily: I'm just trying to say that it's a lot to process.", "Hilary: Just admit it, lily. You're having second thoughts. You and cane had something special, and, yes, he screwed it all up. But that doesn't mean that you forget the times when things were better.", "Lily: No, I can't forget. But all I am is sad because everything is so real and final, and there's no turning aback -- for either of us.", "Devon: What is this, uh, project that you mentioned? It sounded time- sensitive.", "Nikki: I think that would be me -- or should I say, us.", "Devon: Nikki? I didn't realize you were here.", "Nikki: I was upstairs unpacking.", "Devon: Does this mean that, uh...", "Victor: Well, it means that nikki and I have decided that we are much better off together than apart.", "Nikki: It really was the best solution.", "Victor: We want the world to know that from now on, our family and nikki and I are stronger and more united than ever.", "Devon: Fantastic.", "Victor: All right?", "Devon: Fantastic. Yeah. That's a great thing, and i think that, uh, something like this deserves an announcement.", "Victor: Well, why don't we just show up at a number of public gatherings, you know?", "Devon: And you what we can also do, is follow that up with some online material, maybe some on-camera appearances or something like that?", "Victor: I trust your judgment completely. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to make a few calls.", "Devon: For sure. Yeah. Do what you got to do. We can pick this up another time. You know that I have to ask you --", "Nikki: I do.", "Devon: Is this what you want?", "Nikki: It solves a lot of problems.", "Devon: Well, I'm certainly not gonna question that, but it would help me to know that you are happy about whatever this is.", "Nikki: I am quite content with the situation.", "Devon: Really?", "Nikki: I'm home. I mean, I know that was not the original idea, but in the long run, it's the best thing. And this way, victor and I both get exactly what we want out of this arrangement. Statins lower cholesterol,", "Hilary: Okay, um, you know what, cane should be done soon. I'm just gonna go and let you guys talk.", "Lily: You don't have to do that.", "Hilary: Lily, you know what, maybe you're right. Maybe it's over. But what if it's not?", "Lily: Okay, obviously cane is busy, so I have a lot of holiday prep I have to take care of.", "Hilary: Are you serious? You're gonna leave now?", "Lily: Just tell cane I said goodbye.", "Cane: Hey, was that the door?", "Hilary: Um, yeah. Lily. She had to go, but she said to say goodbye.", "Cane: [ Sighs ] It was just a work call. I should have hung up and got off earlier.", "Hilary: No, no. You did what you needed to do. Trust me, you will have other opportunities to talk with lily. Now, I -- I'm gonna go, okay? So...", "Cane: Hey. Hey. Thank you for everything. Thank you for thinking about him. I really appreciate it.", "Hilary: Cane, I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry for my part in causing the damage between you and lily. It seems like I've been trying to mess up your marriage since i came to this town, and then for me to do that and stick my nose in juliet's business...", "Cane: Yeah, well, I mean, it certainly didn't help, but, you know, I'm the one who screwed up my marriage, you know, by making the same dumb mistake over and over and over, and then, you know... so, hey, it's my fault I'm not with my family for christmas.", "Hilary: Well, I -- I really wish that things could be different.", "Cane: Me, too. But it seems that lily's ready to move on, and she has been for some time now, so I don't know, maybe I should, too. And it's kind of like what you said, huh?

One second. Before you go, you never explained this to me -- why did you take the money? I mean, did you have a plan, or did you want to make a point, or...? Did you want to leave town?", "Nikki: Leave town?", "Victor: Yeah.", "Nikki: Why would I do that? My family is here.", "Victor: So then why did you do it? Did you want to see if you could pull it off?", "Nikki: Partly. I guess I looked at it as a rainy day fund, you know, just in case.", "Victor: Well, then, uh, let's move it back to my account, all right?", "Nikki: I'm afraid that's not possible.", "Victor: What do you mean, that's not possible?", "Nikki: I used it.", "Victor: That's a small fortune. What did you use it for?", "Nikki: I bought...a park.", "Phyllis: Props to us for not letting this come between us. You know, jack, he's tired, he's ragged, he's emotional. Don't you dare say that's why he shouldn't be C.E.O.", "Billy: I can't because ashley's in the same headspace as him. Minus the exhaustion.", "Phyllis: The next board meeting's gonna be a doozy.", "Billy: Yeah, and you're gonna be there front and center. Which, let's be honest, is a little surreal. It wasn't that long ago jack couldn't stand to be in the same room as you. Now you're on the board.", "Phyllis: He and I talked it over. You know, we came to an understanding. It's not gonna be a problem, me being on the board.", "Billy: You sure about that?", "Phyllis: Why, don't you want me there? We can play footsies under the table, saves it from getting boring.", "Billy: It's not that, phyllis. I think jack is on the edge. He's not gonna back down. He's not gonna let go. I think it's only gonna get worse before it get better. If it gets better.", "Jack: Checking on mother?", "Ashley: Yes. She's fine.", "Jack: Good.", "Ashley: I'm glad you're back. We need to talk.", "Jack: Yeah. I agree.", "Ashley: About this whole C.E.O. Thing...", "Jack: Look, I think there's really only one logical choice for you here.

At the Athletic Club Fen is waiting on Tessa and Mariah. Tessa doesn't order much and admits she is broke. Mariah gets a call from Sharon and ignores it. Mariah tells Tessa that Sharon was so vindictive but Tessa sticks up for Sharon. She gets another phone call from Sharon and answers her on speaker phone. Sharon wants her to come over and talk. Mariah tells her she has already heard what she has to say and that she is not breaking up with Tessa and hangs up. Tessa convinces Mariah to go and talk to Sharon and not to shut her out. At the recording studio, Devon and Ana are working until Ana reminds Devon of his meeting. Ana declines attending and immediately calls Fen to come over. Lola is at Crimson Lights when Kyle tells her they are celebrating her amazingness. Kyle tells her to show up at his house dressed for the tropics. Billy is at Victoria's where she thanks him for helping out while Nikki is at the hospital. Billy takes off his coat and tells her he is not going to dessert her. He is going to help with dinner and their son's song for the Christmas pageant and Victoria hugs him. Back at the music studio, Fen comes rushing in and is in awe of the studio. Ana wants to quickly get started and she gives him a song. Fen argues and insists on doing his material. Ana harshly tells him his music is not that good and that the song is better. They argue and Fen gives in. Meanwhile Kyle is arranging palm tree inflatables and flowers for his date. He calls Lola and asks if she is getting ready. Back at the music studio, Fen and Ana are still arguing as he is uncertain about a new song. Ana calms him down and tells him she may never get another chance to produce a hit record. Ana has confidence in him and asks him to try it and tells him she didn't mean to sound harsh earlier. Back at Victoria's, Billy is trying to convince Victoria to relax. She tells him she is concerned about Johnny and the pageant. Billy assures her she is doing a great job. Over at Sharon's house, she is sitting on the couch and hears a thumping noise. She grabs a weapon and opens the door to a frightened Mariah and they both scream. Sharon is surprised Mariah is at her house after their phone call. Mariah brought wine and popcorn and tells her it sounded like she needed company. Mariah tells her that \"evil Tessa\" was the one who convinced her to come over. Sharon admits she is afraid to be alone because of the fire and what happened to Nikki and that it means the world that Mariah came over. Mariah hugs her. As they get ready for the movie, Sharon tells Mariah her feelings about Tessa will never change and she cannot pretend otherwise. Mariah reminds her of Sharon's battles with Nikki over Nick and how it is now happening to her. Sharon adamantly insists that Tessa is a liar and Mariah tells her she wants both of her in her life and asks Sharon to at least promise to stop hurting Tessa.", "Billy is helping Johnny with his Christmas song who refuses to sing. Billy tells him about a pageant he was in when he was Johnny's age and how nervous he was. The two sing and practice the song and high five each other afterwards while Victoria watches on. Tessa is at Kyle's house waiting for Lola who hasn't shown yet. Lola fell asleep in her dress and flower in her hair. Kyle thinks he is being stood up. Tessa convinces him to go find her and grabs her guitar to go along. At the music studio, Fen is singing the new song and Ana stops him and tells him he needs more emotion. He starts the song again and Ana smiles on listening. Fen stops singing and Ana gushes about how incredible it was. Fen is sorry he doubted her. Ana calls him a star and tells him they will do one more take. Devon enters and asks \"one more take of what\"? Ana tells him she took advantage of his being out of the studio. Devon is angry and tells her he told Fen no and means it. He is angry that Ana lied to him and he doesn't know how things will work if he cannot trust her. She asks Devon to hear him out and Devon angrily tells them to get out. Ana puts the song on and Devon stands still. He listens to the song as Ana and Fen anxiously wait. Devon listens 3 times and then admits Fen really has something very real. Fen enthusiastically asks Devon to work with him. Devon agrees to work with him and asks him to go back in the booth. Devon tells Ana to go to the office and drum up a contract. Ana insists that she discovered him and Devon tells her Fen needs a more experienced hand. He demands that she does her job and to go get the contract as Fen mouths \"I'm sorry\" in the background. Back at Lola's she is sleeping until she hears \"Joy to the World\" being sung at her window. She looks out the window and tells Kyle he is amazing and to come up. Upstairs, Kyle is very cold and Lola tries to warm him up. They wrestle on the bed teasing and then kiss. She tells him he is very romantic and they kiss more. Kyle asks if she is ok. Lola sits up and asks what they should do now. She lays her head on his shoulder and asks if it ok (that they stopped). He tells her absolutely and that he just wants to be close to her. Back at Victoria's house, Billy is assuring her she is a good mom. She tells Billy she just wants her mom to be ok and Billy tells her he is going to be there for her.

Big ones. I know that. But at least you are genuinely sorry about the things that you've done. In a way that sharon isn'T. So she asked me to make a choice, and I made one. And it was you. And she has to find a way to come to terms with that.", "Tessa: I can understand why it's hard for her, though.", "Mariah: She's not even trying right now, choosing to see everything in black and white. She's good. I'm good. You're bad. And she's completely failing to see the complexity of the situation. Or show compassion, which is totally unlike her. And I don't understand why she is acting this way. But you and I are together, so if she goes after you, she goes after me, too. [ Cellphone rings ] Wow. She really doesn't know when to quit. Hi.", "Sharon: I'm so glad you answered, honey. Um, listen. I know you're upset with me, but I was thinking maybe you could come over, we could talk.", "Mariah: About what? You've made your point very clear.", "Sharon: If you just let me explain, I would feel a lot better.", "Mariah: Well, you know what? Then, great. I will come right over. Because what I want to do right now is come to your house and help you feel better about yourself.", "Sharon: That's not what I meant.", "Mariah: You know what you did to tessa was wrong, and you just won't admit it.", "Sharon: Just, please, hear me out.", "Mariah: No. I have already heard what you have to say. That you want me and tessa to break up. Well, that's not gonna happen. I don't think that I will be getting any more calls after that.", "Tessa: I don't want you to push your mom away because of me.", "Mariah: It's not because of you. It's because of her.", "Tessa: But she sounded really upset and anxious, like she needed you.", "Mariah: So I'm just supposed to go running because she summoned me?", "Tessa: Yes. Because she's your mom, and she's reaching out, and I think you should reach back.", "Fen: [ Breathlessly ] Sorry. I, uh -- I got here as soon as I could.", "Ana: What took you so long? Did you walk here?", "Fen: Um... well, the guy that was supposed to cover me flaked right before I was about to leave, so I had to find another guy to cover me. That guy probably hates me now, along with half the staff, for skipping out on a shift the first week of my new job, so I'm really hoping this is gonna be worth it.", "Ana: It will be.", "Fen: Wow. [ Chuckles ] This is the real deal. I mean, I-I recorded my demo in a closet with pillows duct-taped to the wall.", "Ana: We should get started. Hopefully we'll have just enough time to lay a track down, but we'll only have one shot at it.", "Fen: Okay.", "Ana: You just focus on singing better than you ever have before. Bring your \"a\" game, okay?", "Fen: Yeah. Yeah, got it.", "Ana: Look this over, and we'll try a take.", "Fen: Um... what -- what is this?", "Ana: The song that you're gonna sing.", "Fen: Uh... heh... no offense, but I usually -- I usually sing my own songs.", "Ana: Not this time.", "Fen: I mean, I-I know my materials backwards and forwards. I-I've never seen this before.", "Ana: So get familiar with it. Quick. This is what professional singers do.", "Fen: Look, I really think we should just do my material. Okay? That's -- that's the whole reason i pitched my demo to devon in the first place.", "Ana: Look, I don't have time to massage this for you or protect your ego, so I'm just gonna say it. [ Inhales sharply ] Your music's not that good.", "Fen: Wait, what?", "Ana: This one's better. Trust me.", "Fen: Bu-- but you said you liked what you heard.", "Ana: Your voice. Not the material.", "Fen: Why should I trust you? I barely even know you. I mean, you were a-a singer once. But that didn't really work out for you.", "Ana: I got us this studio, and I'm your producer. I found us this song, so we're doing it.

You getting ready?", "Lola: For what?", "Kyle: You won't forget tonight, I promise.", "Lola: Mm, we'll see.", "Kyle: I know the invitation says 7:00, but preparations are running a little behind schedule. Is 8:00 okay?", "Lola: Ahh, I don't know. I had a long day at work, and I'm pretty tired.", "Kyle: Oh.", "Lola: I'm kidding. I will ply myself with caffeine. I'm dying of suspense.", "Kyle: Me too.", "Lola: Wait, why are you dying of suspense? You already know what the surprise is.", "Kyle: No reason. I'm dying to see you.", "[ Snorts softly ]", "Lola: Me too. See you soon.", "Kyle: [ Sighs ]", "Mariah: Okay! You are being very pushy right now. Like, literally.", "Tessa: I'm gonna get the bill.", "Mariah: I don't want to go to sharon's, tessa.", "Tessa: I know. But big picture -- she loves you, and you love her. Look, I know that you think that she should support us as a couple. But if she can't, you might have to be the one who learns to be okay with that.", "Mariah: I've forgiven you. Why can't she?", "Tessa: Because what she's going through right now is incredibly stressful, and I only made it worse. And because you are her daughter, and she wants to protect you. You have to let her feel the way that she feels. I already know that you're in my corner. I don't need you shutting sharon out of your life to prove that to me. And in the long run, you're gonna regret it. So, please, go and talk to her, and see what she has to say.", "Fen: You know what, I-I -- I should just walk right now.", "Ana: No, you shouldn't, because that would be a big mistake.", "Fen: You know, you have a lot of confidence for someone who's never done this before.", "Ana: This is a big opportunity for both of us. And we can pull it off. If we both do our jobs.", "Fen: Mm-hmm.", "Ana: Your job is to use everything you have to interpret the song so it hits the listener right here. And my job is to make sure the product is as good as it possibly can be -- starting with the song choice. I may never get another chance to produce a hit record. But I feel -- no. I know this is the right one.", "Fen: Yeah, what if it's not right, um, like, for me.", "Ana: I promise you, it's gonna fit your voice like a glove. The key, the arrangement. It's gonna work. If you'll just try it.", "Fen: You know, my -- my songs are good, too.", "Ana: I didn't mean to sound harsh. And hopefully we'll have a lot of chances in the future to record them. But tonight, can we do this one? For us?", "Fen: Yeah, okay. Who's this, um -- who's the songwriter, anyway?", "Ana: A guy back east. He signed off on the rights, so it's ours.", "Fen: Yeah, well, I hope he's as good as you said he is.", "Ana: I've got the backing tracks synched and ready to go. All we need now is your butt in that booth.", "Fen: Yeah, okay, fine.", "Ana: Thank god.", "Fen: Hey, uh, you know, your bedside manner with the artist could use a lighter touch.", "Ana: Noted. Now do your thing.", "Billy: Whoa! No, no, no. Come on. I'll take care of that. You leave that. Come on. Over to the couch and relax. Put your feet up for a little while.", "Victoria: [ Sighs ] Thanks.", "Billy: What can I get you? A glass of wine?", "Victoria: Can you, uh, bring my father back home?", "Billy: [ Sighs ]", "Victoria: [ Sighs ] I'm sorry. I just -- I really wish he was here.", "Billy: Yeah, so do I.", "Victoria: Wow, that was good. I really appreciate the effort.", "Billy: [ Chuckles ] Okay. So what's going on with johnny? [ Victoria sighs ] Why is he so nervous about this pageant?", "Victoria: His teacher called yesterday...", "Billy: Mm-hmm.", "Victoria: ...And said that he doesn't know his lines, and he refuses to participate. She doesn't know why. But I think I might have an idea.", "Billy: Okay.", "Victoria: There's just been so much upheaval. You know, reed's back home, and maybe johnny's not getting as much attention as he's used to. And the accident. We've all been so focused on that. [ Sighs ] I don't know. Maybe this is just his way of getting noticed. And I've been working so hard to keep everything normal, and to keep everybody on their schedule, and --", "Billy: You have done a great job managing everyone, as always.", "Victoria: I don't know about that.", "Billy: Well, as far as johnny, maybe it's just, you know, old-school stage fright.

That, uh -- that might have been overkill.", "Sharon: So, what were you doing outside of my window?", "Mariah: Well, I dropped my bag on the way to the door, and I was using the flashlight on my telephone to look for my stuff.", "Sharon: What stuff?", "Mariah: Supplies. Um... popcorn. Wine. I thought we could stream \"thelma & louise.\"", "Sharon: I love that movie.", "Mariah: Sounded like you needed company for the long haul tonight, so I came prepared.", "Sharon: I just didn't think that was even a possibility after our phone call.", "Mariah: Well, it was pointed out to me by somebody much more level-headed and generous that I was maybe being a bit short-sighted.", "Sharon: Tessa.", "Mariah: Evil tessa suggested that i come over here and spend the night with you because you sounded distressed on the phone.", "Sharon: [ Sighs ] Maybe my mind's running a little wild, but I just don't feel that comfortable being alone since nikki's accident.", "Mariah: Why?", "Sharon: I just keep thinking... what if the hit-and-run was connected to the fire in the stables?", "Mariah: Was done by the same person who moved J.T.'S body?", "Sharon: There's no proof of that.

Nick is another word for santa claus. It's not your uncle st. Nick, because, well, he's not a saint. But we're not gonna go there right now. Um... so, I feel you.

You nervous you're gonna not remember the line? Yeah. Okay. The best thing about that is, I figured it out. This is what you got to do. Listen to the song, and when you hear the line before yours, when you get to your line, you just open your mouth, and the line's gonna come out. Because you know the line. You sang it like a hundred times. You don't have to worry about that part. So all you got to do is just have fun with the song, and listen to it, and when the line comes before yours, you just open your mouth, and it's like a christmas miracle. Okay? So you want to try it? Okay. Good. Let's change positions. Let's mix it up a little bit. You ready? Okay. Deep breath. You good? Phew! Okay. I'm gonna start.

All we know is that she showed up out of nowhere with hilary's face, working for the man who scammed devon out of his inheritance. Wouldn't you want to know more about her? Wouldn't you want to know where she came from? In fact, you could help us. You could talk to her. Figure out what she's hiding.", "Nate: Not a chance.", "Elena: Why? Because you're afraid to find out something that you don't want to know?", "Nate: No. Because I respect her privacy, just like I would want her to respect mine. You and devon have all these conspiracy theories about amanda that are based on what? How she looks? Who her client was? Even though she thought she was working for chance, not colin. You have nothing else. So, I'm sorry, elena. I'm not on board with this. I think it's dangerous and wrong.", "Devon: Hey. I need to talk to you.", "Summer: Oh, hang on! Hold on. How does it look?", "Nick: Uh, well, why don't you told me what it is?", "Summer: Really? It's a wise man.", "Nick: Huh. A wise man. Okay.", "Summer: Okay, well -- wait, you really couldn't tell? Oh, my -- oh, my god, are you serious? Dad! You're so bad!", "Nick: I know, but the look on your face was priceless. I mean, come on. This is -- this is incredible. I had no idea that you --", "Summer: That I was, what, such a domestic goddess? Neither did I. Who knew, right?", "Nick: It's amazing. Um, is it finished?", "Summer: Uh, almost. I just have to try it on christian tomorrow and then put the final touches on.", "Nick: He's gonna be thrilled.", "Summer: I don't know, I think that your girlfriend, chelsea, the former big- shot fashion designer could have done a better job. Which, uh, speaking of... I haven't really seen her around here much lately. I know she's got a lot on her plate, you know, but I'm just kind of curious --", "Nick: Summer.", "Summer: Yeah?", "Nick: If you want to ask me about chelsea, then just -- just do it.", "Summer: What the heck is going on with you two?", "Adam: Hey. I was hoping you'd still be here. Do you have a minute?", "Chelsea: Uh, hardly. Is everything okay? Is connor all right?", "Adam: Oh, yeah, connor's fine. He's, uh, in session with sharon right now, so... I thought you and I could grab a quick dinner.", "Chelsea: Oh, I can'T. I have some christmas shopping to do.", "Adam: Well, that's great. We can do it together. We'll pick out some stuff for connor.", "Chelsea: I'm shopping for nick.", "Adam: Oh. Right. Of course.", "Chelsea: I planned to drop his gift off later today, so...", "Adam: Mm-hmm, sure. Yes, I understand.", "Chelsea: But you're right. We definitely need to talk about gifts for connor, and I know your family tends to go overboard. I think that we should set some limits this year.", "Adam: Agreed.", "Chelsea: Okay, well, I got to run, I'll talk to you later.", "Adam: Mm-hmm.", "Sharon: So, connor, let's talk about the last time we were together. You said some things about our conversation that weren't true. Right?", "Connor: I got in trouble.", "Sharon: You did, huh?", "Connor: My mom and dad took my video games away for a month. Said I had to apologize.", "Sharon: Why do you think you did it?", "Connor: I don't know.", "Sharon: Well, think about it.", "Connor: I guess because i thought it'd make them be together, but now I know telling the truth is better.", "Sharon: How did you figure that out?", "Connor: I told mom and dad the monster wanted them to yell and fight and live apart. They listened to me. They believed me. And now we're all together, so that makes me happy. When I rent a car, I never compromise. Additional sponsorship", "Devon: I know that you saw that P.I. File on amanda, and i want to explain.", "Elena: You don't have to.", "Devon: But you need to know that I didn't hire any investigators. Victor did, and then he brought me the information that he found.", "Elena: And you had to act on it. I know. I agree with you.", "Devon: Really?", "Elena: Yeah. I mean, it's obvious she's been hiding a whole lot from us all along. And you need to get to the bottom of it. I'm just sorry I didn't realize it in the first place.", "Devon: Wow.", "Elena: You're surprised.", "Devon: Yeah, I'm very surprised because, lately, you've been telling me I need to back off of her.", "Elena: I was wrong. I just hated what this was doing to you, to us, and I thought that if we could be done with this amanda business, we could go back to how things were.", "Devon: I tried to.", "Elena: I know.", "Devon: And when victor showed up, it just raised all these questions again, and... I don't know what I was supposed to do.", "Elena: Exactly what you're doing. You need to find closure with this situation. And, at the very least, you need to figure out how or why this woman has dropped into your life. And I'm gonna help you figure that out.", "Nick: I wish I had a simple answer for you about chelsea, but the reality is, I don'T. It's just, uh... it's a strange time for us.", "Summer: I mean, I think it's a little more than strange, but, you know, whatever -- whatever works for you.", "Nick: This isn't about me or us. It's about connor&", "Summer: Look, dad, I know that she's concerned about her son. It's just --", "Nick: Hey, do you remember when your mother took you off to switzerland for medical treatment?", "Summer: Yeah. I mean, I was a kid, but, yeah, a little. Why?", "Nick: Well I wasn't sure i wanted you to go, all right. I was scared. It was really far away. I wasn't sure it was gonna work, but when I saw how committed and dedicated your mother was to getting you well, I stepped back, and I'm glad because it was the right thing to do.", "Summer: Okay, dad, I'm sorry. Are you comparing, um, that to -- to this?", "Nick: Yeah, I am.", "Summer: Dad, there's a huge difference here, though. Mom wasn't living with another guy.", "Nick: Chelsea is not living with adam, okay? She's just staying with him until connor gets better.", "Summer: Okay, well, normally, maybe I might agree with you, but this is adam that we're talking about.", "Nick: [ Sighs ] Yeah. It's adam.", "Summer: Does he even respect any boundaries that you and chelsea have set up?", "Nick: No, he does not. In fact, your grandmother was telling me she was talking to adam the other day, and he kept talking about himself and chelsea but saying \"us\" and \"we\" and the whole thing was about his family.", "Summer: Okay, that's exactly what I'm talking about, dad. This is nothing like mom taking me to switzerland. This is adam just doing what he does all the time -- going after what he wants but fighting dirty to get it. So my question for you is -- what are you gonna do about it?", "Phyllis: And I stood by adam when nobody else would. When all that stuff was going on with victor pretending to die and all those accusations were being thrown around, I listened to him. I sympathized. I helped him. How does he repay me? By... saying one of the most -- the most insulting thing that anyone has ever said to me, and that's a long list. You know that.", "Jack: What did he say?", "Phyllis: I can't tell you.", "Jack: Oh, come on. You can't go on for 10 minutes breathing flames about adam and then not give me the punch line.", "Phyllis: He asked me -- [ Sighs ] He asked me to do something very degrading and disgusting. That's all. Okay? He's not capable of human emotion. He doesn't see people as people. He sees them as cogs and tools that he can use and then abandon.", "Jack: Okay.", "Phyllis: Okay?", "Jack: What did you expect, righteous indignation?", "Phyllis: I didn't expect you to just shrug your shoulders.", "Jack: Okay, I guess hell hath no fury...", "Phyllis: What? No. I am not a woman scorned. Wrap up your holiday shopping with the blitz in,blitz out sale", "Devon: Hon, you have -- you have no idea how relieved I am to know that you're on my side when it comes to amanda. Because when I came in here and saw you talking to nate --", "Elena: I was telling him the exact same thing. I think amanda is bad news.", "Devon: And I'm sure he didn't want to hear that.", "Elena: Yeah. Nate seems to have a blind spot when it comes to her.", "Devon: Did you tell him about the P.I. File?", "Elena: No, but I did tell him that someone gave us information about her, and he didn't seem to care at all. And then I asked him to talk to her, maybe get her to open up a bit. He shut me down.", "Devon: Of course he did. I'm worried about him.", "Elena: Yeah. Me, too. He claims he doesn't have a thing for her, but I don't know if I agree.", "Devon: I definitely don't agree.", "Elena: Yeah, and what makes him so sure we're wrong about amanda?", "Devon: Because you can't tell him anything. It's like when he gets something stuck in his head, it doesn't matter what we have to say.", "Elena: Stubborn.", "Devon: Yeah. Probably runs in the family. You've really been a rock for me through all of this. You know that, honey?", "Elena: Well, a crumbling rock.", "Devon: No. No. You've been amazing. You were right to be concerned about me because it was messing with my head, seeing amanda and having it bring up old memories of hilary. And I'm sorry that I hurt you. I'm sorry that it took me so long to see the truth. But I know that amanda sinclair or whoever the hell she is, is nothing like hilary. And all I care about right now is you. Because you're my future.", "Phyllis: Hey!", "Jack: I'll call you back.", "Phyllis: Is it \"offend phyllis month?\"", "Jack: Okay, I did not mean to offend you.", "Phyllis: \"A woman scorned.\"", "Jack: Okay, I apologize for that.", "Phyllis: I do not now or have I ever had a romantic relationship with adam newman. No romantic feelings.", "Jack: Duly noted.", "Phyllis: Thank you very much. I needed a friend! I needed an ally. No more, no less. I got a hell of a lot less, which is why he's gonna regret it because people who cross me usually do.", "Jack: Oh, wait. Wait a minute, now you're telling me you're about to wage war on adam newman?", "Phyllis: Damn straight.", "Jack: The same adam newman who has inherited victor's great love of vendettas?", "Phyllis: I know his weaknesses. I know where to hit him where it hurts.", "Jack: Good luck with that.", "Phyllis: If you mean that, thank you very much. Thank you.", "Jack: You know what, go home, sober up, get a good night's sleep. Wake up tomorrow morning and realize what a dumb idea this is.", "Phyllis: Oh, you're protecting adam.", "Jack: No, I am actually looking out for you, sweetheart. It's the worst idea in the world to go after adam because of wounded pride. You're better than that. You want some advice? Some free advice? Focus on your family. Focus on your career. Work on building up your life again instead of tearing someone else's down.", "Phyllis: What, are you a philosopher now, jack?", "Jack: I'm just offering my opinion.", "Phyllis: Your opinion? Really? From the man who pushed me out of jabot. That's why I went to adam in the first place.", "Jack: And how many people back then told you not to do that, including your daughter? Did you listen? No. You knew best. Well, here you are. Phyllis, you're one of the smartest women I know.& You're as capable as they come. And yet, somehow, you keep getting in your own way. If I were you, I'd start asking myself \"what has that gotten me? Where has that gotten me?", "Adam: So, how did it go?", "Sharon: Connor and I had a good session. He apologized for lying.", "Adam: Hm.", "Sharon: He was, um, calm and in good spirits. And he drew this.", "Adam: Oh, connor's monster.", "Sharon: Yeah, but do you see the difference? The monster is smaller and less threatening than his prior drawings, and then the three of you are there fighting the monster together.", "Adam: Well, that's a pretty awesome sword he gave chelsea. So, this is all good, right?", "Sharon: It's encouraging. Connor recognizes that the two of you have made an effort on his behalf, and it's clear that you've made him a priority.", "Adam: Anything else?", "Sharon: I am concerned that you might be giving him other unintended messages, and if you don't correct that, it's going to backfire in a big way. My gums are irritated.", "Elena: So, now that we have the P.I. Report on amanda, where do we go from here?", "Nate: I was wondering what you two were up to, but I'd have never suspect of this. You hired a P.I. To dig up dirt on amanda?", "Devon: No, we didn'T. Victor did and then he bought us the information that he found.", "Nate: Like that's supposed to matter.", "Devon: It really should matter because we found out some things that might even disturb you.", "Nate: I'm not interested.", "Devon: Okay, then, nate, go home.", "Elena: No, devon. Nate needs to hear this. Nate thinks that we are crazy and obsessed with amanda, and we have information that proves otherwise.", "Nate: Okay, fine. I'll listen. Convince me this was a good idea.", "Devon: We found out that before amanda came to town, she hired a company to completely erase her information from the internet. She couldn't get rid of everything, but most of it, it's gone.", "Elena: So if she's so squeaky-clean, what is she hiding?", "Nate: I don't know.", "Devon: Do you think it's weird.", "Nate: I think it's none of my business.", "Devon: We also found out that she filed a restraining order against the guy and that same guy filed one against her.", "Nate: Do you know the circumstances?", "Devon: I could guess what they were.", "Nate: And that's all it would be -- a guess. Like all the rest of this so- called evidence you've piled up. If you took this to court, they'd laugh you out of the building.", "Devon: The investigation just started.", "Nate: And I think that's sad, devon, for both of you. Why would you want to waste all of your time and energy jumping down this rabbit hole again?", "Devon: Is that really what you're concerned about?", "Nate: Seriously?", "Devon: I'm dead serious. You say all the time that you're worried about me, but I think you're way more concerned about amanda.", "Nate: I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that.", "Adam: Of course connor wants his mother and his father to get back together. That shouldn't surprise you.", "Sharon: No, of course not. It's very common for children of divorced or separated parents, but this is more serious.", "Adam: How so?", "Sharon: Well, connor told me how you and chelsea can only defeat the monster if you're all together.", "Adam: Mm-hmm. That's right. He overheard an argument we were having.", "Sharon: But then connor had a meltdown when he thought that chelsea was leaving here for good, until you both convinced him otherwise.", "Adam: All we were trying to do is just reassure him that everything was gonna be okay.", "Sharon: But that's not the way that connor sees it. He wants this situation to continue indefinitely. That's what he's rooting for. But maybe I'm wrong. At some point, you and chelsea are going to be living separate lives again, and my fear is just that that's going to confuse him and anger him and undo all the work that we've done.", "Adam: Well, that is also chelsea's concern. So what do you suggest?", "Sharon: I think that you should be honest with connor. The sooner, the better. I mean, the longer this fantasy goes on, the more upset he's going to be.", "Adam: Sharon, we -- we are going to tell him. Eventually.", "Sharon: Eventually?", "Adam: The holidays are coming up. The poor kid, he's probably gonna be going to a different school soon. I mean, you said for yourself what he needs right now is stability, and we just -- that is what we're giving him.", "Sharon: Well, obviously, it's your decision.", "Adam: And I appreciate everything that you've done. I just -- I really don't think right now is the best time to shake up his world again. And I told chelsea the same thing.", "Sharon: Okay.", "Adam: You don't agree.", "Sharon: My two cents is... you should bring it up little by little. Just gently steer the conversation toward the love that a parent has for their child, no matter where they are and how that never goes away, even if they're not living together because that's the truth, adam. And letting connor believe that his parents have reconciled is not.", "Nick: I made you a sandwich.", "Summer: Oh, well, thanks.", "Nick: It's the least I could do, considering how hard you worked on christian's costume.&", "Summer: Oh, look at you. You cut off the crust for me and everything, like when I was little.", "Nick: Well I know you're this big-time executive at a big-time company, but you will always be my little girl.", "Summer: Thanks. Hey, good job, by the way.", "Nick: On the sandwich?", "Summer: No, on avoiding that question that I asked about you and chelsea.", "Nick: I'm not avoiding your question.", "Summer: Really? Because you made me sandwich that I didn't ask for. And if you want to talk to me about it, I mean, that's fine.", "Nick: Chelsea and I are gonna be okay.", "Summer: Okay, you keep saying that, but I wonder what \"okay\" means.", "Nick: Summer, relationships have ups and downs. We are clearly in a down right now, but we're gonna get through it.", "Summer: Okay, well, I don't mean any offense by this, but when were you in chelsea last in an up? It just seems like it's been one crisis after the other ever since she came back into town.", "Nick: It's not chelsea's fault, okay? Connor needs both of his parents right now.", "Summer: I know because he went through a traumatic situation thanks to an associate of chelsea's dead husband.", "Nick: And you blame chelsea.?", "Summer: I'm just saying that maybe she could have come clean to you about her life and everything that happened before a hotel full of people were held hostage. Then maybe things would have, I don't know, ended a little bit differently.", "Nick: Well, I mean, I was keeping secrets from her, too.", "Summer: Yeah, I know, because I was also kept in the dark about grandpa faking his own death. But at least you were trying to bring adam to justice. I mean, what was her motivation? Everyone has been so vague about how well she knows this guy simon black. I can guarantee you that her reasons were a lot less noble than yours were.", "Nick: I know that you didn't think it was a good idea for me to get back together with her.", "Summer: No, dad, this -- this this is not about my opinion on chelsea. I have tried to be supportive of your relationship with her, and I have no interest in being proved right. It's just so hard for me to sit here and watch you be so unhappy. And what doesn't make any sense to me is how can chelsea not do anything about it? I mean, if she cares, then why isn't she trying to change things?", "Chelsea: Merry christmas. \"The young and the restless\" will continue.", "Jack: Hey, billy. It's jack. I heard about the job you landed. I just want to learn more about it. I thought maybe we could have a nightcap together. Give me a call, billy. We'll catch up.", "Abby: Do you want to talk to billy, uncle jack?", "Jack: Yeah. Yeah. He got a new job. I want to congratulate him.", "Abby: Is billy okay?", "Jack: As far as I know. Why do you ask?", "Abby: Victoria mentioned that they haven't been spending much time together. She chalked it up to long work hours, but I just get the sense that it's more than that.", "Jack: I think billy's dealing with a few things since he left jabot. I'm not sure where they are. He's not talking to me about them.", "Abby: All right, great. Yeah. I don't mean to worry you. I could be completely wrong. Maybe it is just victoria working overtime.", "Jack: No, I want you always to tell me about things like this. Look, I'm going to talk to billy. If there's any kind of a problem, we will deal with it as a family.", "Abby: Do you ever get tired?", "Jack: Tired of what?", "Abby: Of carrying this family on your shoulders? Any time there's any sort of problem, everyone always runs to jack. I've done it myself more than once. You always listen and you're patient, and you usually have the right answer.", "Jack: Not always.", "Abby: [ Laughs ] But it must feel like a burden sometimes, to always be that person.", "Jack: Not when I see the abbott family growing, building, taking small accomplishments I've made and making them better. Moving them forward. Like you're doing here. This is your baby. You made this dream a reality, and when you have a family of your own, this will be the legacy that they build on. This is what my father taught me. Set the bar high. Expect the next generation to exceed it. That's what you're doing. I could not be any prouder of you. Oh!", "Summer: Chelsea, we were, um... [ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, hold on. Oh, you know, I have to -- I have to go see mom now.", "Nick: You didn't even touch your sandwich.", "Summer: Um, no, that's okay. I'll just eat it when I get back, or -- better yet, you just eat it. Could you tell christian I'll finish his costume tomorrow?", "Nick: Sure. Love you.", "Summer: Okay. Bye. Love you. It's, um... it's nice seeing you here.", "Nick: [ Sighs ] It's kind of funny, you know, when, uh... your kids get old enough to be as overprotective as you, as you were of them.", "Chelsea: Yeah. I guess I have that to look forward to.", "Nick: Yep.", "Chelsea: Not that I can blame her.", "Nick: Why?", "Chelsea: For thinking you're crazy for putting up with me. I'm sure summer's not the only person who feels that way.", "Nick: Nobody thinks that.", "Chelsea: Really?", "Nick: All right, well, if they do, you know, I don't listen to them. Because I do what I want.", "Chelsea: I don't deserve you.", "Nick: Well, that's true.", "Chelsea: [ Laughs ] It's -- it is true.", "Nick: Come on. Come on.", "Chelsea: It's the truth, nick. None of this has been fair to you, and I care about what you're feeling. I really do. And I know I've asked too much of you, and yet, you've done it. You put connor and me first, above everything. You have been amazingly patient. And if I was more patient, I would tell you to move on without me and find somebody who can be there for you the way that you deserve. But I'm not the person. So instead I'm standing here, begging you to just hold on a little bit longer. I promise you, it will be worth it.", "Nick: Is it my turn?", "Chelsea: No I'm not done because I need to tell you how much I have missed you. I have missed you like crazy, so bad. Last night, I almost came here in the middle of the night just 'cause I wanted to crawl into -- mmm. Okay. Now it's your turn.", "Adam: Hey, bud. It's almost time for bed. Oh! What do you got there?", "Connor: Something I made for mom.", "Adam: Oh. Well, she's really gonna like that. You know, why don't I keep it down here, and I'll show it to her when she gets home?", "Connor: Where did she go?", "Adam: She... she went out to do a little christmas shopping.", "Connor: I hope it's something for me!", "Adam: Hey, you never know, hmm?", "Connor: I told her I wanted a skateboard, but she said it might be too dangerous. I don't think so. Do you, dad?", "Adam: Well, you know, your mother is usually right about these things.", "Connor: Will you talk to her?", "Adam: Sure. We will figure this out together. With advil,", "Summer: Hey, mom. Hey!", "Phyllis: Hey.", "Summer: Can I join you?", "Phyllis: Of course!", "Summer: All right.", "Phyllis: We're still getting together for your birthday, right?", "Summer: Yeah. What, I can't spend more than one day a week with my mom?", "Phyllis: Jack told you to come.", "Summer: Look who cares who told me to come. I'm here.", "Phyllis: Why did he do that?", "Summer: Because he's jack.", "Phyllis: I don't need a babysitter.", "Summer: No, I think that jack's exact words were, \"your mom needs a friend.\" And, honestly, I'm just happy to have an excuse to get out the house.", "Phyllis: That doesn't sound like you, sitting alone in your house. I hope you're not pining away for your ex-boyfriend.", "Summer: Theo? No. No, I told you, we -- we made the right decision breaking up. I mean, it's hard enough being his boss and then you add in me trying to not get caught in the middle of his ongoing feud with kyle. That's awkward enough without adding dating.", "Phyllis: That's mature.", "Summer: Yeah, I mean, even in spite of everything that's gone on with theo and I, we're still friends.", "Phyllis: Good.", "Summer: Hey, you're the one that taught me that you can stay close to your exes. Kinda like jack and how he text me because he didn't want you to be alone tonight.", "Phyllis: Okay. Um, what about you?", "Summer: Hmm?", "Phyllis: What's going on with you? You should get out there. There are a lot of great guys out there.", "Summer: No. [ Laughs ] I'm in no hurry. Dating just makes life complicated. I don't have time for that.", "Phyllis: Ah, well an uncomplicated life sounds really boring.", "Summer: [ Laughs ] I'm not gonna just date a guy just to say that I'm in a relationship. I mean, I guess that's kind of what I did with theo, even though he was really, really good-looking and a lot of fun. There's just always something missing, you know?", "Phyllis: Yeah. Well, you're right, you shouldn't settle. The guy who wins your heart... he should make your skin tingle and your heart melt and your mind come alive. That's the trifecta. And once you get that, it's worth the wait.", "Summer: Yeah, well, I guess that lucky guy will just have to wait because I am hungry. Come on. What are we getting?", "Chelsea: Where's connor?", "Adam: He's asleep upstairs.", "Chelsea: Good. I don't want him to see me like this.", "[ Sighs heavily ]", "Adam: What is? What's wrong?", "Chelsea: I can't do this anymore, adam. I keep trying to live this lie with nick, but I can't pretend anymore. I love you. I try to resist it, but I can'T. I belong here with you and connor. This is my home. This is my family. I'm sorry I just had to say it. If you don't feel the same way, I understand.", "Adam: This is how I feel. No, I want nothing more than our family to be together again. I mean, we were happy once. And I know we can be happy again. Family to be together again. I mean we were happy once and i", "Chelsea: If this is your idea of communication... I'm all for it.", "Nick: Did you really come over here to bring me a present, or was it just an excuse to, uh, how did you put it?", "Chelsea: Crawl into your bed.", "Nick: We didn't make it to the bedroom. I mean, I'm not complaining.", "Chelsea: No. I'm not, either. So, open your present.", "Chelsea: There's really something in there?", "Chelsea: Yeah. I want you to open it right away.", "Nick: Oh, my god, it's -- it's our home.", "Chelsea: It will be, when you build it. Where'd you find this?", "Chelsea: Rolled up in a closet. So I decided to have it framed.", "Nick: I love it. It's perfect. Thank you.", "Chelsea: It meant so much to me that you kept the property we were gonna build our dream home on, even when you weren't sure I was ever going to come back to genoa city. It shows that you believed in us, so... you didn't want to give up on us, and this is a reminder that you are right to believe.", "Nick: I haven't given up on us. I still believe in us. Try that.", "Elena: [ Sighs ] Nate was pretty angry.", "Devon: He's just trying to convince himself that he's right.", "Elena: What if he tips amanda off on the P.I. Report?", "Devon: He's not going to do that.", "Elena: What makes you so sure?", "Devon: Uh, well, because i know him, and as much as he disagrees with us about amanda, I think he'll see it is a point of honor to not go and blab it to everybody else. Just hope it opens his eyes up, finally. But who knows if it will? I'm just glad you see what i see, honey.", "Elena: Mm-hmm. No more secrets, please.", "Devon: No more. You're not alone, devon, and I'm always gonna be by your side. So please stop pushing me away.", "Devon: I promise, honey, i won'T.", "Elena: I love you.", "Devon: I love you more.", "Phyllis: You made that?", "Summer: Yeah. Yeah. I watched a lot of how-to videos online so I taught myself how to sew well enough to make a children's costume.", "Phyllis: That is adorable!", "Summer: Thanks.", "Phyllis: Oh, my gosh, I -- I bet that nick loved it. I mean, he loves making christmas special for the kids.", "Summer: Yeah, he does. He does. I remember one year he kept hiding the christmas elf, and i got so mad at him. I remember saying that if the christmas elf isn't on the tree, then santa claus isn't gonna come.", "Phyllis: Yeah, but then you woke up, and the elf was in your room on christmas day.", "Summer: Oh, that's right. He was in a little toy ride-on sports car thing that I wanted so bad. Oh, that was so much fun. I wonder if he's going to do the same thing for christian this year.", "Adam: Or connor. You're going to spend the holidays with him, right?", "Summer: Yeah, I mean... I don't know, he -- he came to the ranch on thanksgiving, so maybe? Things have been so weird between dad and chelsea so... who knows?", "Chelsea: Hey. Where's connor?", "Adam: He's asleep upstairs. Can I fix you something to eat? Oh that's ok. I had a sandwich at nick's so, how did the session go with connor and sharon?", "Adam: Uh, it went okay. He didn't have any complaints about her this time.", "Chelsea: Well, that's progress, right?", "Adam: Mm. I think so. But she did have some interesting insights into what's going on with him. I think we should talk about it.", "Chelsea: Absolutely. But can it wait till tomorrow? I'm just kind of beat.", "Adam: Sure. Tomorrow's fine.", "Chelsea: Okay. I'm gonna go kiss him good night and try to get some sleep.", "Adam: Okay. Good night.", "Chelsea: Night!" ]

[ "Lily told Drucilla that she'd convinced Malcolm to surprise Neil for Christmas. Olivia invited Malcolm to stay with her now that he was staying in town. They shared a passionate kiss. Dru demanded Malcolm not come to Christmas Dinner, angering both Malcolm and Olivia, who accused her of being selfish. Malcolm agreed to sit out the holiday, but warned he wasn't leaving town. Olivia met Adrienne. Malcolm learned about the murder of Adrienne's son, and she admitted she'd come to town to see her ex-husband, the boy's Father, and that - while she'd seen him and he'd apologized - she was not ready to accept it and forgive. Brittany convinced Bobby that her job at the boutique was for the best. Nikki wanted to give Bobby money for Christmas, while Victor told her to tell him the truth about his dead brother. When Bobby told Nikki he planned to sell his club, she said she might be interested in buying. After hearing Brittany's sob story about having no money for Christmas, Victor gave her a card with a wad of cash inside. Michael insisted that Paul find out what was said when Phyllis met with Dominic at the prison. Paul stalled, but agreed to do so once Michael threatened to investigate the matter himself. Glenn Richards saw through Christine's bluff about having proof to clear Damon, and insisted he would not drop the charges against the man." ]

[ "Brittany: Bobby, why did you drag me here? I need to get back to the boutique.", "Bobby: Why did you lie to me?", "Brittany: I didn't lie to you.", "Bobby: Well, you weren't exactly being honest, were you? Why didn't you just tell me that you got this sales job? Any reasons?", "Brittany: It's okay.", "Bobby: It's not okay. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear them.", "Brittany: I thought it would be fun working over the holidays, selling cool clothes, hearing Christmas carols 24/7, get me into the spirit.", "Bobby: Okay, now you're lying to me.", "Brittany: I needed something to do with my free time.", "Bobby: No, that's not it. You needed money, we do.", "Brittany: I thought it might help if I earned a few dollars. Is that a crime?", "Bobby: Okay, I'm the husband. I'm supposed to provide for you.", "Brittany: Honey, that's kind of archaic.", "Bobby: Well, not to me, it isn't. All of this just goes against nature. A man is supposed to provide for his wife. How do you think it makes me feel?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Well...", "Nikki: Hi.", "Victor: Hi, my sweetheart. Look how beautiful. My, God.", "Nikki: I know. Where have you been?", "Victor: Well, I just came back from the Rec center. You know, the Christmas party's there tonight, and I just wanna make sure that everything is in order. They took care of everything.", "Nikki: Wow. Well, you must be very proud of them.", "Victor: I'm very proud of them. They have done a great job.", "Nikki: You know, I was looking at all these presents under the tree-- I mean, not that material things are the most important, but we are so blessed.", "Victor: This is so beautiful. Are we blessed, are we ever blessed? Let's sit down, darling. My God. You know, I bought something for everyone at the Rec center. Nothing extravagant, but something for them to open.", "Nikki: Well, that was sweet. They'll appreciate that.", "Victor: I didn't see the car of our houseguests outside.", "Nikki: No, Bobby and Brittany aren't here. I feel so badly about them. I don't think they're gonna have a very merry Christmas.", "Victor: Sweetheart, don't let their situation get you down. You have done so much for them-- given a roof over their heads, meals to eat. I mean, you have been extremely generous with them.", "Nikki: I know. I'm just thinking about what it's gonna be like on Christmas Eve. We're all gonna be here, the family's gonna be opening gifts, and what are they supposed to do, just sit and watch us? That's not a very fun celebration.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dru: Hey, Lily.", "Lily: Hey, Mom. You wouldn't believe how crazy these people are out there.", "Dru: That's what you get for waiting till the last minute.", "Lily: Yeah, I know, and i still have to go back out, too. I need something for devon. He hasn't come back yet, has he?", "Dru: No. I thought you were gonna keep your eye on him.", "Lily: No, we split up.", "Dru: Well, honey, he's new at this. I thought he could have used your help.", "Lily: Well, he didn't want it, and then I ran into him again at the mall, and he seemed to be doing fine.", "Dru: All right.", "Lily: What, you think I should have stuck with him?", "Dru: Well, I think that would have been nice.", "Lily: Yeah, I guess I could have been more helpful, but I'm sure he'll be okay.", "Dru: Okay, what's going on with you?", "Lily: What?", "Dru: You look like you're about to burst. What? What?", "Lily: Stop it. Well, um, I guess it's not a surprise to you, right?", "Dru: What's not a surprise to me?", "Lily: Who I saw at the coffeehouse. Uncle Malcolm, he's back.", "Dru: I know.", "Lily: So why didn't you tell me?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Olivia: Um, can I get a black coffee to go? Make that a large-- Malcolm? What are you doing here?", "Malcolm: I work here, Liv.", "Olivia: I know that, but I thought you left.", "Malcolm: I had some unfinished business. Liv, I'm glad you're here. I want to talk to you for a minute, if you have some time.", "Olivia: Sure, absolutely. I'm free, yeah.", "Malcolm: Good. Let's go in the back. It's a little more private, all right?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: (Knocks on door)", "Paul: Yeah?", "Michael: Where's my law partner?", "Paul: Out.", "Michael: I can see that. Any idea where?", "Paul: Can't say that I do. Sorry.", "Michael: I hate to say this, but it appears that you are correct, Paul.", "Paul: About?", "Michael: Phyllis' entire defense hinges on that conversation she had with Dominic Hughes in the Georgia prison.", "Paul: Well, I can't see that a jury would take the word of a convicted killer over Phyllis'. I mean, even though it appears that he is fully rehabilitated.", "Michael: Doesn't seem fair, does it?", "Paul: You think it's a possibility?", "Michael: Well, without corroboration, it looks pretty grim.", "Paul: Detective Weber told Chris that there is no recording of Phyllis' visit.", "Michael: And you believe them?", "Paul: What, Weber?", "Michael: Or the prison authorities. Do you believe that there's actually no recording, audio or video, of that conversation?", "Paul: Michael, why wouldn't I believe them? Why would they lie? What would they have to gain?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Knock on door)", "Glenn: Come in.", "Chris: Glenn, you busy?", "Glenn: Christine. Let me guess--you're here to wish your ex-boss a merry Christmas or you're here to discuss your case involving Damon Porter.", "Chris: You're right on both counts.", "Glenn: I would rather do this after the holidays.", "Chris: I just need a minute of your time.", "Glenn: I really was just on my way out.", "Chris: My client is going to have a miserable Christmas because of what's going on, so I need to insist that we talk now.", "Glenn: Okay. What is so urgent that it can't be tabled till after the New Year?", "Chris: I want you to consider dropping all the charges against Damon.", "Glenn: You can't be serious.", "Chris: I'm very serious.", "Glenn: I'm sorry, Christine, but that is not gonna happen.", "Chris: Even if I tell you I have absolute proof there was no conspiracy?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dru: Honey, I'm so sorry. Look at this place. I've been so busy, I completely forgot. I'm sorry.", "Lily: No, don't worry about it. I know, I know. I'm just glad that I saw him. Actually, it was really funny because he sneaked up behind me and I almost jumped through the ceiling.", "Dru: I bet you did.", "Lily: And then we had this really great talk. You know, he's such a great uncle. I'm so glad that he's back, aren't you?", "Dru: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.", "Lily: I just wish I understood why he wanted to leave in the first place.", "Dru: Well, sweetie, you know, people have agendas. They have to do what they have to do.", "Lily: I know, but I have so many questions I wanna ask him.", "Dru: Honey, listen--", "Lily: Actually, before I forget, you didn't tell Dad, did you?", "Dru: About Uncle Malcolm? No. Why?", "Lily: Well, because I have an incredible idea. I'm gonna surprise dad with Uncle Malcolm for Christmas.", "Dru: Ow. Well, I don't-- I don't know if Daddy would appreciate that.", "Lily: Well, what are you talking about? Of course he will.", "Dru: Well, sweetheart, I think you should have a plan \"B.\" You know, I think you should think about this twice.", "Lily: Um, okay, but I think that you're being kind of weird about this. Dad's been missing him so much. It'll make his Christmas.", "Dru: Sweetheart, daddy and Uncle Malcolm, they haven't been seeing eye to eye lately.", "Lily: Exactly, so can you think of a better way for them to patch things up than spending Christmas together?", "Dru: Well, you don't wanna force the issue, honey. You should let something like that happen organically.", "Lily: Mom, Uncle Malcolm agreed with me on this, okay? And seriously, I don't see what could possibly go wrong. So please don't tell dad, okay?", "Dru: Baby--", "Lily: Mom, please, all right? I am begging you. You will see. I guarantee you dad is gonna love this.", "Dru: Sweet--", "Lily: Please, Mom, please. Please. Please.", "Dru: Okay.", "Lily: Thank you. Trust me, this is gonna be amazing, okay? When we see the look on Dad's face, he's gonna be so excited. Well, anyway, I am going to wrap some presents. So please knock on my door before you wanna come in.", "Dru: Yes, ma'am.", "Lily: Thank you, and that's Santa ma'am to you. Bye.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Olivia: I'm really excited that you're here, but I hope you're not expecting something from me like me pulling Nate out of a hat.", "Malcolm: Olivia, as much as I wish you would, I understand.", "Olivia: It's just too soon, but if you stuck around...", "Malcolm: Look, you know I can't make any promises right now.", "Olivia: I'm not asking you to make any promises. I'm not expecting anything at all, well, except maybe a kiss when you come back from almost leaving.", "Malcolm: Fair enough.", "Malcolm: Mmm... mmm, woman, you are something else.", "Olivia: So why are you staying? Or is it you couldn't bear the thought of leaving me?", "Malcolm: I'll give it to you, you are a very tempting, tempting woman.", "Olivia: 'Cause I do recall you saying something just before you left before about not being able to tear yourself away from me.", "Malcolm: Well, obviously it's true. But you know, Liv, on a serious note, I'm done running away from my family.", "Olivia: Well, my sister's gonna be thrilled to hear that.", "Malcolm: No, she's furious, but you know what? Who cares? She's just gonna have to get used to me being around.", "Olivia: Well, I'm glad you're back.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Brittany: Bobby, please don't be angry. I know you wanna provide for me, and I love you for that. I just thought I could help out a little.", "Bobby: Come on, by working a dead-end job running around on your feet all day?", "Brittany: Hey, money's money. If it makes you feel any better, I was gonna use my first paycheck to buy you a Christmas present.", "Bobby: You like it at the boutique.", "Brittany: How could I not? It's where we met. You remember that day, don't you?", "Bobby: Like I could forget. You were the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen. The moment I laid eyes on you, I was a goner.", "Brittany: I remember thinking, who is that drop-dead gorgeous hunk?", "Bobby: Oh, please. Get out of here.", "Brittany: You think I'm kidding? You were so handsome, I thought my knees would give out. And now here we are married.", "Bobby: Yeah, and look how we started out.", "Brittany: It's not your fault.", "Bobby: Oh, yeah? Whose fault is it?", "Brittany: It's nobody's fault. It's just circumstances. We'll get through this.", "Bobby: You're just trying to make me feel better.", "Brittany: Is it working?", "Bobby: You gotta admit, I did screw up. I mean, if this club doesn't turn around soon--", "Brittany: I wish you wouldn't be so down on yourself. You are doing the best you can. That's all anyone can ask.", "Bobby: You know, baby, you're incredible. As bad as things get, you're still smiling.", "Brittany: It's easy for me to smile. I'm married to you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: I'm not sure what you're getting at.", "Nikki: Well, I want Bobby and Brittany to have a good Christmas. It's their first one as a married couple. It should be special. I don't think they have much money to buy gifts.", "Victor: So what are you talking about?", "Nikki: Well, I'd like to give them a little money-- not a lot, but just enough so they could buy each other something nice.", "Victor: You wanna give them a little money? You don't think that's condescending?", "Nikki: No. I want to, I need to.", "Victor: Do you still feel guilty about what happened years ago?", "Nikki: I cost Bobby so much.", "Victor: And you think by giving him money you're gonna erase his past? That's not gonna happen. Bobby Marsino is who he is, nothing is gonna change that. If you want to unburden yourself with this guilt that you carry around with you because of what happened years ago, I suggest you do one thing.", "Nikki: What?", "Victor: Tell Bobby Marsino the truth.", "Nikki: No. No.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Well, for starters, Detective Weber's had it in for Phyllis from day one. And don't you think it's possible that the prison authorities don't want anyone to know that they record visitors' conversations?", "Paul: Why?", "Michael: If word got out, nobody would say anything incriminating in the visitor's room. They'd lose a valuable resource for maintaining control, not to mention the uproar from the privacy rights contingent.", "Paul: You know what? I still don't see how I could help.", "Michael: Come on, Paul. You deal with these sorts of people all the time.", "Paul: Come on, Michael, best case scenario, it's a long shot.", "Michael: So what? There are no short cuts. Look, you would be helping Christine and me both. Damon Porter is in the same fix as Phyllis.", "Paul: And what are you suggesting I do?", "Michael: You call down to the prison in Georgia, you find out if there isn't some kind of tape down there.", "Paul: Right, and they're just gonna hand it over to me because of my good looks?", "Michael: Whatever. You bribe, you threaten, you do what it takes to find something to back up Phyllis' claim. That's it.", "Paul: That she was warning Dominic Hughes to stay away from Porter?", "Michael: Yes, and not luring him into some kind of trap.", "Paul: This couldn't come at a worse time. You know how busy I am right now? You want to see my schedule?", "Michael: What schedule? You work for us, right? At least part-time. Okay, you know what? I forgot. You only dance to Christine's tune. I just help pay the office rent and the phone bills out of the goodness of my heart.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Glenn: Christine, you can show me proof that no conspiracy exists?", "Chris: That's what I said.", "Glenn: Well, unless you have a recording of Miss Abbott's visit with Dominic Hughes, that's impossible. The people at the prison told Detective Weber no such recording exists.", "Chris: So you're gonna have to trust me on this.", "Glenn: I can't just take your word.", "Chris: You think I'd lie to you?", "Glenn: No, but you may be seeing proof because it's what you want to see.", "Chris: I'm not.", "Glenn: Look, Christine, fine, then show me your evidence.", "Chris: While Damon might have had motive to see Dominic dead, he's shown no propensity toward violence.", "Glenn: Really? What about that night at the motel when he sliced Hughes up with a samurai sword?", "Chris: He was protecting his girlfriend from a known violent offender who was standing there with a gun. It certainly wasn't premeditated.", "Glenn: Nice try. People are on record verifying Porter's extreme hatred for Hughes.", "Chris: Yeah, of course he hates the man. He murdered his little boy, but that doesn't make Damon a killer.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Malcolm: So, um, your offer to stay at your place, is it still good?", "Olivia: Of course it is, for as long as you want, and I mean it-- no strings attached. I'll just be so thrilled that we're all under the same roof.", "Malcolm: Well, Liv, I appreciate it. I'm gonna have to call Phyllis because she offered me her couch, but since you've got the extra bedroom...", "Olivia: And me.", "Malcolm: I guess that seals the deal.", "Olivia: Well, this certainly is turning into an interesting holiday.", "Malcolm: Yeah. Liv, you have no idea. I'm gonna be Neil's number one gift under the tree this year.", "Olivia: What? How did that happen?", "Malcolm: Turns out I have a little niece that's very, very hard to say no to.", "Olivia: Lily.", "Malcolm: Mm-hmm. She invited me over for Christmas Eve. Well, no, no, no, check that. It was definitely a command performance.", "Olivia: Does Dru know about this?", "Malcolm: I don't know, but I don't care. To see the look on her face-- Olivia, Lily was so excited. That's enough for me. You know, that girl--", "Dru: Where is he? I need to talk to you right now.", "Olivia: Oh, my God. Can't I spend ten minutes alone with the man without you barging in all the time?", "Dru: Would you shut up? This is between him and me.", "Olivia: Oh!", "Malcolm: Dru, I got nothing else to say to you.", "Dru: Well, that's too bad, 'cause I'm not done talking to you. What were you thinking about, agreeing to be Lily's \"gift\" to Neil? That is not gonna happen. It won't work.", "Malcolm: I don't know that.", "Dru: Oh, well, I do. You're gonna pick up the phone and call Lily and tell her it's not gonna happen.", "Olivia: Have you lost your mind? That's gonna break her heart.", "Dru: She's gonna have to get over it, Liv.", "Malcolm: I don't think she will. Drucilla, what's wrong with you? We're talking about Christmas here. I got serious issues with my brother, but I'm gonna put 'em down for one night. Why can't you do the same thing? We are family here, aren't we?", "Dru: I know that you are Neil's brother. But I would like to spend Christmas with my immediate family. That includes my husband, my daughter and my foster son, not you in the middle of my living room, 'causing all kinds of tension.", "Olivia: Listen to her. \"You, you, you, you, you,\" it's always about you.", "Dru: Would you stay outta this?", "Olivia: No, I won't, because it's not right. I mean, what gives you the right to banish Malcolm outta Genoa City? And what you're doing right here, this is wrong.", "Dru: I am trying to protect my family.", "Olivia: From what? From them spending Christmas with someone they love? Come on, even for you, that's low. That's selfish.", "Dru: Oh, you're calling me-- oh, isn't that calling the kettle black? You're selfish.", "Olivia: What are you talking about?", "Dru: What am I talking about? Why do you really want him in town? What do you really want from him, Liv?", "Olivia: None of your business.", "Dru: Well, I'm gonna make it my business right now.", "Olivia: You're always making my business your business.", "Malcolm: Okay, ladies, ladies, ladies, stop it! Enough with this. I'm not going through this again. The last time y'all did this, I walked out. Drucilla, I'm not leaving so get used to it, all right? You don't want me in your house? Fine, I won't come. You know, I need your attitude like I need a stick in my eye. And I'm pretty sure that goes for everybody else who has to listen to that mouth.", "Dru: So are you gonna tell Lily--", "Malcolm: No, I'm not gonna tell Lily. You'll tell Lily. And you're gonna tell her exactly why I'm not gonna be there, because her selfish mother is too wrapped up in her own stuff to let her family be together at Christmas. Drucilla, I told you I wasn't your enemy. But right about now, you're making me rethink that statement.", "Olivia: Don't worry, Dru. I'll make sure Malcolm has a wonderful Christmas Eve with me, something that not even you can spoil.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: No, I can't do it. I can't tell Bobby that I shot his brother.", "Victor: What do you mean, you can't do it? Instead, you're gonna let this secret eat away at you?", "Nikki: Victor, he would never forgive me.", "Victor: Darling, you were 5 years old when this happened. You didn't shoot his brother intentionally. If you explain the story to him, I'm sure he'll understand.", "Nikki: I don't know.", "Victor: Do you want me to talk to him?", "Nikki: No! It's my responsibility. If anybody tells him, it will be me. But I'm not ready yet. I have to think about it, okay?", "Victor: Think about it soon, all right?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Brittany: Bobby, I really need to get back to work.", "Bobby: There's no way I can talk you outta this?", "Brittany: I could see if I could get off a little early. We could go out to dinner. No, that's not good. Well, we can fix ourselves something at the ranch.", "Bobby: All right, I'm definitely not liking this.", "Brittany: Things will get better, just watch. The club will become a big success, you'll finish the work on your condo, it'll be great. Until then, we'll find a way to get by.", "Brittany: I love you.", "Bobby: I love you, too.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Malcolm: Olivia, let me-- let me get that for you.", "Olivia: Thank you.", "Adrienne: Well, I'll be. Hello, stranger. Fancy seeing you here.", "Malcolm: Yeah, likewise. Uh, let me introduce you to an old friend of mine. This is Dr. Olivia Winters.", "Olivia: Pleased to meet you.", "Adrienne: Same here.", "Malcolm: So I'll see you at home tonight, yeah, after I get off?", "Olivia: Oh, okay. Yeah. Sure, see you then. Bye.", "Adrienne: Bye. Care to join me?", "Malcolm: Sure.", "Adrienne: So old friend, huh? Seems, uh, I may have had some effect on you.", "Malcolm: (Chuckles)", "Adrienne: (Chuckles)", "Malcolm: Yeah, I guess you could say that. I realized what I was walking away from.", "Adrienne: And was that really an old friend?", "Malcolm: That was my ex-wife. But she's still a friend.", "Adrienne: Seemed like, um, maybe there's still something there.", "Malcolm: I don't know, maybe. But right now, she's just got an extra bedroom.", "Adrienne: Well, that's convenient.", "Malcolm: You know what? Enough about me. What about you? Did you hook up with your ex yet?", "Adrienne: Oh, I saw him, for all the good it did. The man spent eight years alone in his own world, totally cut off from anyone. Now all he can do is say he's sorry. Well... I don't think that's good enough. In fact, I know it isn't.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Whoa, Bobby Marsino. Just who I'm looking for.", "Bobby: What did I do?", "Nikki: Nothing. It's something I did.", "Bobby: What's this?", "Nikki: Open it.", "Bobby: (Chuckles) what is it?", "Nikki: It's a pashmina.", "Bobby: A scarf?", "Nikki: Yeah, it's a shawl. I saw it in a store. I thought--thought you could give it to Brittany. I hope I didn't overstep.", "Bobby: No, no, um... look, I-I appreciate it, but it's--", "Nikki: Oh, you already bought her something.", "Bobby: No, it's not that. Um, Brittany and I aren't gonna be buying each other gifts this year.", "Nikki: Well, then this is perfect. You should take it.", "Bobby: (Sighs) you know what? It's not just-- it's not right.", "Nikki: Bobby, Brittany doesn't have to know where it came from.", "Bobby: Right. I'll know. Thanks, though.", "Nikki: Well, I was just trying to help.", "Bobby: Nikki, I appreciate it, but you've already done more than enough.", "Nikki: I just hate to see you struggle, that's all.", "Bobby: Nikki, don't worry about me. I got a feeling things are gonna turn around real soon.", "Nikki: Good. Well, I'm glad you're so upbeat about it.", "Bobby: Well, actually, I wasn't until just a few minutes ago in the car.", "Nikki: Really? What happened?", "Bobby: Well, I made a decision. I'm gonna sell the club.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Brittany: Excuse me. Can I help you with something? Oh...", "Victor: My goodness...", "Brittany: Victor.", "Victor: Brittany.", "Brittany: I didn't recognize you.", "Victor: I didn't know you worked here.", "Brittany: I just started.", "Victor: Yeah.", "Brittany: Figured I'd earn some extra money over the holidays.", "Victor: Good for you.", "Brittany: Is there anything I can help you with?", "Victor: You know, I came here with my granddaughter a few days ago, and she looked at this sweater and she loved it.", "Brittany: It's an excellent choice.", "Victor: Yeah?", "Brittany: It's one of my favorites.", "Victor: Is it?", "Brittany: It'll look great on Cassie.", "Victor: Yeah, I think I'll get it.", "Brittany: Why don't i ring it up for you?", "Victor: Yeah, that'd be nice.", "Brittany: Unless there's something you need?", "Victor: Nope, that's it.", "Brittany: Would you like it gift wrapped? It's free.", "Victor: Well, in that case, by all means. So how do you like it here?", "Brittany: So far it's great.", "Victor: Mm-hmm.", "Brittany: I've worked here before so I know the drill.", "Victor: Are you still performing at the club or...", "Brittany: Uh, a little.", "Victor: Mm-hmm.", "Brittany: You know Bobby's trying to turn it into a cabaret?", "Victor: Yes, I've heard that. Right.", "Brittany: It hasn't been as successful as we hoped. Some nights only a few people come in. But things will pick up. We just have to be patient.", "Victor: Yeah, well, patience is a virtue in business.", "Brittany: Anyway, uh, that's why I came back to work here.", "Victor: Mm-hmm.", "Brittany: I wanted to pitch in.", "Victor: Your husband is very lucky to have a wife like you.", "Brittany: Oh, well, thank you. We're trying. It's just hard. We should be focusing on our marriage, our future. Instead we're worrying about where we'll get the money to make ends meet.", "Victor: I'm sorry to hear that.", "Brittany: We even agreed that we wouldn't buy gifts.", "Victor: Oh.", "Brittany: Our first Christmas together, and we won't have any presents to unwrap.", "Victor: Oh, my goodness. Yeah, well...", "Brittany: Forgive me. I-I didn't mean to unload all my problems on you.", "Victor: It's all right.", "Brittany: Especially when you and Nikki have been so great to us. On your credit card?", "Victor: Um, upon second thought, let me pay in cash, okay?", "Brittany: Oh, wait. Before you do that, let me have this wrapped.", "Victor: All right.", "Brittany: You don't mind waiting a minute, do you?", "Victor: Not at all, no.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Malcolm: You know, you never did say, uh, what came between you two.", "Adrienne: Um... my son was murdered. He was only 8 years old.", "Malcolm: Wow. Um, I'm sorry to hear that.", "Adrienne: Ah...", "Malcolm: That must have torn you both up.", "Adrienne: It destroyed our marriage. No. Excuse me. He, um, he allowed it to destroy our marriage.", "Malcolm: You're angry about that.", "Adrienne: Yes, I am.", "Malcolm: Is that why you went to Africa?", "Adrienne: It was the only way I could let go of some of the pain, helping people get through some of theirs.", "Malcolm: Yeah, lord knows, there's enough suffering out there to go around.", "Adrienne: You can get lost in it.", "Malcolm: Yeah, who you tellin'? I know I did. You know, it took everything in me to come back here.", "Adrienne: So... are you staying true to yourself?", "Malcolm: I'm here, right?", "Adrienne: (Chuckles) I'm glad you stayed.", "Malcolm: Yeah, so am I. I got tired of runnin'. What about you? You gonna stay in town?", "Adrienne: Um, I might. It seems like a certain ex-husband, um, wants me to stick around. He's finally ready to talk.", "Malcolm: You ready to listen?", "Adrienne: So what about your niece? Is she, um-- was she pleased to see you?", "Malcolm: Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she definitely was.", "Adrienne: Good. Maybe that means there are still some happy endings after all, even for people like us.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Glenn: I know you want to believe that Porter's innocent. Who's to say he hasn't been planning his revenge for years, just biding his time until Hughes got paroled?", "Chris: You honestly believe a jury is going to convict a man whose son died in his arms, a horrible, senseless death at the hands of a gangbanger?", "Glenn: I wouldn't be trying this case if I didn't think I could win it.", "Chris: When that group of 12 people hears my client's tragic story, there won't be a dry eye in the courtroom.", "Glenn: Which I will counter with evidence that Hughes is a changed man.", "Chris: Oh. Well, wait till the jury hears that this \"changed man\" had a gun, which he had purchased illegally just a few days after he was let out of prison, which is not only a clear violation of parole...", "Glenn: Which he is being punished for.", "Chris: It shows that he is not the saint he portrays himself to be. Instead, a convicted felon who had every intention of going back to a life of crime.", "Glenn: And I will argue that Dominic got the gun after he went to see Porter to make amends and was viciously threatened.", "Chris: So what are you saying? Under those circumstances, it was \"okay\" for him to carry a loaded pistol?", "Glenn: Of course not.", "Chris: You know, you know what it all boils down to, Glenn? You are basing your case on the testimony of cold-blooded murderer.", "Glenn: When I am done with him, Porter will look like a vigilante, like a man who should be put away for the safety of society.", "Chris: You are making such a big mistake.", "Glenn: Come on, counselor, you were a prosecutor long enough to know what this is.", "Chris: What do you mean?", "Glenn: You're playing poker, Christine. This is a pretrial bluff. I'm disappointed in you, actually. I thought you would've come up with something just a bit better.", "Glenn: Anyway, merry Christmas, Christine. I'll see you in court.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: Office rent? For what office? I have been waiting months and I don't have a space I can call my own.", "Michael: These things take time.", "Paul: All right, so how about knocking some heads together and get this thing finished?", "Michael: First things first. I have an innocent client to worry about.", "Paul: All right, I'll take care of it.", "Michael: When-- today, tomorrow, next week? I need a concrete timetable.", "Paul: Look, Michael, I said I'd take care of it. I can't guarantee when.", "Michael: Well, I can't wait any longer, and if you're not gonna get off the dime, I'll make the phone call myself.", "Paul: Look, I will take care of it. I will make it my top priority.", "Michael: Good. I'm counting on you, Paul. So is Phyllis.", "Paul: Damn", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Brittany: I'm sorry, Victor. There are so many things to wrap, they're a little backed up.", "Victor: That's quite all right.", "Brittany: Do you mind coming back later?", "Victor: Not at all.", "Brittany: Great.", "Victor: Uh, this is for you.", "Brittany: What is this?", "Victor: Just consider that an early Christmas present. You have a nice day.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: You can't sell Marilyn's. You love that club.", "Bobby: I think I need to move on and do something new.", "Nikki: No, Bobby, wait a minute now.

Meanwhile, the crowds are getting smaller, and the stack of bills on my desk is getting higher and higher. I need to face the facts that Marilyn's is a bust.", "Nikki: Well, then you make it a success. You are not throwing in the towel, not after everything you've put into it.", "Bobby: All right, listen to me, that's the whole point. I have put my whole life into this place, and I've got nothing to show for it.", "Nikki: All right, well, I will give you some money.", "Bobby: No, Nikki, I'm not taking handouts.", "Nikki: It's not handouts. It's--it's an investment. That way you can pay off your bills, maybe you can do a little renovating. Hey, we're partners, remember?", "Bobby: Okay. I appreciate the offer, but the answer's no.", "Nikki: Will you please stop thinking about your pride? Let me help you.", "Bobby: This is nothing about pride. I have crunched the numbers. Now there is no way that this club is gonna make it as a cabaret.", "Nikki: All right. Well, what if you--", "Bobby: No. I am not turning this back into a strip joint. I promised Brittany that I was outta that business, and I mean it. I mean, the cabaret was a nice idea. It's just not what the people want.", "Nikki: I'm sorry that you feel you have to do this.", "Bobby: Oh, yeah, me, too. Now I just gotta go and I gotta tell Brittany. I feel real stupid about this. I'm supposed to be a businessman, and I went and blew everything I have on some crazy fantasy.", "Nikki: So when did you get this idea?", "Bobby: I don't know. I've had it kickin' around in my head for awhile, but... it just clinched it right now.", "Nikki: What? Why?", "Bobby: Brittany got herself a job working as a salesclerk.", "Nikki: Oh, for heaven sakes, so what? That bothers you?", "Bobby: Yeah, it bothers me that my wife felt the need that she had to go out and get a job to help support us. Yeah, that's not right.", "Nikki: Bobby, a lot of wives work, including me. There's nothing wrong with it.", "Bobby: That's not the way we had it planned. I was gonna be the one bringing home the dough and she was gonna stay home and raise the kids.", "Nikki: Okay, well, I think you have a little bit of time before you have to worry about that.", "Bobby: Yeah, but, Nikki, you know what I mean. I want to be able to provide for my family, and I gotta stop wasting all my time and energy on this hopeless situation.", "Nikki: Bobby, wait a minute. What if I told you I don't think it's hopeless?", "Bobby: It wouldn't matter what you said. I'm still gonna sell the place.", "Nikki: What's the asking price?", "Bobby: What?", "Nikki: Just tell me the price. I think you might have a buyer.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Boy: Hope you're working your new foster parents for everything you can. That ride won't last long.", "Nikki: Can't you just accept my generosity without all these questions?", "Bobby: Nobody throws around large sums of money for no reason.", "Kevin: The Abbotts are gonna find out who we are eventually. Why not today?" ]

[ "Brad has been notified that he has to take a DNA test, but he isn't all that worried. He knows that the cops only want to main his past, he thinks. Victor tells Nikki that he is not pleased that Victoria has been lying. Brad is hiding something. Victor tells that he has hired someone to look deeper into Brad's murky background. Kevin and Jana wake to find that Gloria isn't in the apartment. Kevin gives Jana her present. It is a book on serial killers. \"How did you know?\" she shrieks with glee. \"Well you did drop a few hints,\" he jokes. They get ready to be with the family at Michael and Lauren's place. When they arrive, Kevin is introduced to Joanna. She tells him that she loves it there and is planning on staying. She doesn't see a need to get an apartment. Why should she when she can stay there? Kevin overhears Jana lying to his mother about her family, and suggests to Jana that they go downstairs and get some presents that they left there. When they get to the apartment, Kevin asks Jana why she lied to Gloria just now. Jana tells that she didn't see a need to tell her that she isn't with her family for the holidays because she can't get along with them. She didn't want to spoil Christmas. She is disappointed. She thought that he had brought her down there to make love to her again like he did that morning. He didn't plan on that but that is what they do. At Nick and Phyllis's place, Sharon comes over while Phyllis is upstairs with the baby. They both talk nicely and honestly about their wishes for the best for each other. Phyllis comes to the top of the stairs and listens as the two talk and say Merry Christmas. Nick and Sharon lean in for a kiss but it is strange as they don't know whether to go in for a peck on the lips or cheeks. \"Oh hi Phyllis,\" Sharon says afterwards when she turns and heads for the door. At the ranch, Victor and Nikki have decided that this year everyone will be getting present from the past. Nikki gets the first piano piece that she ever played Victor gets an old McCloud-like coat that he used to wear around the ranch. Victor gets an essay that she wrote in elementary school. \"You lied about it. Remember? You said that you lost it on the school bus, but the important thing is that you eventually told the truth,\" Nikki says. Ashley gets the first perfume that she ever put on the market. She is thrilled. Jack and Brad gets stationary. It is Newman stationary and it has Brad and Jack's names at the top. Jack finds that to be a strange sort of gift. \"I get a kick out of it,\" Victor says smiling. \"It is to remind me of how you and Brad almost got one over on me.\"" ]

I was able to have a nice chat with them very early morning.", "Gloria: Ah, nice.", "Joanna: Excuse me.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: So how's the cider? Did I put too much cinnamon in it?", "Ashley: No, not at all. It's perfect. I couldn't have made it better myself.", "Nikki: Thanks. How are things at Jabot?

I mean, you know, it's--it's business as usual.", "Nikki: Hmm.", "Jack: Listen, I want to apologize for getting so emotional the other day at the hospital. I... I think that after everything that Phyllis and I had just been through--", "Victor: Don't you dare apologize for that. You were open. You showed your feelings. It's your openness and honesty-- that is what people value in you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: So how's it coming?", "Jana: Well, we found a compromise, right, ladies?", "Gloria: Mm-hmm.", "Kevin: Jana, I just remembered we forgot some presents downstairs. Why don't we go and grab them before Michael and Lauren come home?", "Kevin: Uh, we'll be back in a minute. Um, can you two be trusted for the time being?", "Gloria: Of course.", "Joanna: When Lauren gets back I'm gonna make her a nice eggnog shake.", "Gloria: Why?", "Joanna: She needs cheering up.", "Gloria: And why does she need cheering up?", "Joanna: Most new mothers are ecstatic, and obviously Lauren is not, probably because she's not getting enough help with the baby.", "Gloria: And what's that supposed to mean?", "Joanna: Michael's always working.", "Gloria: No, no, don't you dare criticize Michael. He spends as much time as he can with Lauren, and half the time he works anyway.", "Joanna: That's my point. He's no backup.", "Gloria: Joanna, we were doing just fine before you came.", "Joanna: If it makes you feel better to think that, you go ahead.", "Gloria: With your constant criticism that has Lauren under so much stress. According to you, she can't do anything right. It's not about eggnog. If you want to put a smile on her face, get off the poor girl's back, or better yet, get the hell out of Dodge!!", "Joanna: oh, my.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Ashley: It's not like Nikki to be this nice to me. It's making me nervous.", "Jack: What, did you think? She'd be nasty to you on Christmas Day?", "Ashley: I'm just saying, it's not at all like her.", "Victor: And I think if Zapato gets any bigger, you can put a saddle on him.", "Nikki: Can you put this on the cookies?", "Noah: Okay.", "Nikki: Thank you.", "Victor: Well, Jack and Ashley seem to have a good time.", "Nikki: Yes, everyone is having a good time except for Ashley.", "Victor: Mm-hmm. That's because she's bothered by her conscience.", "Noah: These are my dad's favorite cookies.", "Abby: I think someone is hungry.", "Noah: The reindeer is tired. He needs food if he wants to make his next trip around the world.", "Jack: Hey, you.", "Victor: Rebecca, how are you enjoying your first Christmas in Genoa City?", "Rebecca: It's wonderful. Now I haven't been to many Christmas parties...", "Victor: Isn't the food wonderful? Yes.", "Rebecca: It brings back a few memories, even those of... friends and family who aren't with us anymore.", "Victor: On a day like this, you must be thinking a lot about your older son.", "Rebecca: Well I miss him every day. Today is no different. But I always him his memories to cherish.", "Victor: Hmm.", "Nikki: What memories do you have about him?", "Nikki: Oh.", "Nikki: Mm-hmm.", "Victor: Hmm.", "Rebecca: We did a lot of cooking and baking together.", "Nikki: Well, I'm sure.", "Brad: Not to mention eating.", "Nikki: Well, now that you are living in Genoa City, you'll have to start some new traditions.", "Victor: In fact, I have an idea for a new tradition. Why don't you, Brad, say a few words in honor of your brother?", "Brad: What a lovely idea, Victor.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: What's all this?", "Phyllis: Ooh.", "Noah: Food from the party.", "Nick: Nice.", "Noah: Mom said we could bring some for you and the baby.", "Phyllis: Oh, that's sweet. Well, I'll eat the baby's portion, okay?", "Noah: Can I see my sister?", "Phyllis: Yeah, um, she's asleep right now, but I'm sure she'll keep up after you open up all your presents.", "Noah: Come by. Help me open some.", "Phyllis: He's excited about his little sister.", "Nick: Yeah, I was worried he'd have mixed feelings, you know, 'cause of... Cassie, but... he seems really excited to be a big brother.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Joanna: Oh, absolutely, and a merry, Merry Christmas to you and all your little ones. Of course I will.", "Joanna: Bye!", "Joanna: Leave it.", "Gloria: No, no, no, no. You leave it. I put it down there. Joanna, what's your problem?", "Joanna: You are. You are. You obviously don't even know how to set up for a Christmas party.", "Gloria: Oh, yeah, is that a fact? And who died and made you Martha Stewart?", "Joanna: Oh, fine. It's all yours.", "Gloria: Thank you.", "Gloria: Joanna, don't you--", "Joanna: Aah! Stupid cow! Look what you've done! You've broken Fenmore's little ornaments!", "Gloria: Unh-unh. This is your fault. Not only are you ruining my day, you--you are ruining everybody's Christmas.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: I wanna know why you lied to my mom about your family. You weren't on the phone with them this morning.", "Jana: It's no big deal.", "Kevin: It is to me. I don't understand.", "Jana: Well, I just don't get along with them, really, Kevin, okay?", "Kevin: Okay, so why didn't you tell me?", "Jana: And put a damper on our day? Kevin, this has been the best holiday I've ever had. I have you. I have this fabulous apartment, a decent job. But I am disappointed about one little thing.", "Kevin: What's that?", "Jana: Well, I thought you lured me down here to play a repeat of this morning.", "Kevin: Well, who says I didn't?", "Jana: Get your bum over here and unwrap me again.", "Kevin: Your Christmas wish is my command.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Hey.", "Noah: Hey, Mom.", "Nick: Hey, Sharon.", "Sharon: Hi. You kids ready to get going? There's a lot more presents to open up at the main house, plus Zapato's waiting for you.", "Abby: Come on, let's go.", "Noah: Uhh!", "Nick: See you, Dude.", "Nick: So I wanted to thank you.", "Sharon: Oh, yeah? For what?", "Nick: For making everything as normal as possible for Noah.", "Sharon: Well, of course.", "Nick: And I'm real glad you decided to spend Christmas with my parents.", "Sharon: Yeah? Thanks. I, uh, I kinda thought that might be weird at first, but I don't know. They invited Jack, and I'm having a good time.", "Nick: Well, that's good. Well, Merry Christmas.", "Sharon: Yeah, Merry Christmas.", "Sharon: Oh... oops. okay, bye.", "Nick: Bye.", "Sharon: Oh, Merry Christmas, Phyllis.", "Phyllis: Merry Christmas, Sharon.", "Nick: Is the baby asleep?", "Phyllis: Yeah.", "Nick: Then we are... alone.", "Phyllis: Yeah, we are. What is this?", "Nick: Why don't you open it and find out?", "Phyllis: Turquoise.", "Nick: Yeah. It's, you know, in honor of the one in the pink's birthstone... and also for our New Mexico wedding.", "Phyllis: It's very sweet. I love them.", "Nick: Yeah?", "Phyllis: Yeah.", "Nick: Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Now, everyone, this year Nikki and I have decided to do things a little differently.

All right. Sharon, you may go first.", "Sharon: Oh, okay. I'll open mine. oh, my gosh. I'd completely forgotten about this.

Where did you find this?", "Nikki: Do you remember that?", "Victoria: This is an essay that I wrote in elementary school.", "Nikki: And you told your teacher you left it on the school bus, but you hadn't finished it. Well, the next day, you completed it, and you admitted it to us, but the important thing is you finally told the truth.", "Victor: Ashley, you're next.", "Ashley: Oh. Okay.

It was shocking. Imagine a woman abandoning her own baby... and she seemed so cold.", "Nina: Hmm. So what happened after the woman left?", "Woman: Uh, some nuns came and took the baby.", "Paul: Do you remember the name of the orphanage or of the order of the nuns?", "Woman: All I can remember is that everyone called them the \"Grey Nuns.\"", "Nina: Grey? \"G-R-E-Y\"?

I mean, we don't want to lose this.", "Kay: We haven't even finalized things with Tucker McCall yet.", "Neil: You're not concerned that he's gonna back out, are you?", "Kay: No, of course not.

Plus, Adam loves that.", "Victoria: Yeah, I know. Well, I guess he's gonna have a good Christmas, isn't he? He's got the job of a lifetime, and he's got Sharon on a string, apparently.

It makes me out to be an addict.", "Kyle: So you're saying you quit taking pills?", "Jack: Yes!", "Kyle: How long ago?", "Jack: It's something you do over time, it's not something you do overnight, but yes, I am done.", "(Cell phone rings)", "Jack: Oh.", "Kyle: Who was that?", "Jack: Oh, another scandal rag. I gotta be careful who I talk to or how I handle things. Y-you--you do, too. You cannot afford to be drawn into casual conversations with well-meaning strangers any longer. We are folding Jabot into Newman and investor confidence is everything.", "Kyle: Wouldn't it be a good idea to just hold off on the Jabot thing for a little bit? You know, just till you've had more of a chance to recuperate?", "Jack: Kyle, I told you, I am back! Dad is back, and better than ever.", "Kyle: Dad, you're kidding yourself. Hey, don't do that, with the hurt look. You're sounding just like Mom used to when she'd get in over her head on something, trying to convince herself she wasn't.", "Jack: Wait, is that what you think, I'm in over my head? Kyle, this is not something I can't handle.", "Kyle: Under normal circumstances, maybe, and just 'cause you can handle it doesn't make it a good idea. You know, I don't know why you had to take over Newman in the first place. Why couldn't you just be happy at Jabot? That's where you belong.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Leslie: Jack hired you to head his company because he trusts your judgment.", "Neil: Well, for whatever reason, that changed. I didn't see it coming.", "Leslie: Push back. You didn't get to where you are by giving up easy.", "Neil: Hey, hey, young lady, I know how to fight for myself. I didn't think I would need to with Jack, you know? Otherwise, I never would have taken the job.", "Leslie: Do you want to know why I took this job?", "Neil: Hmm?", "Leslie: To work with you, be a part of what you're building. You are revitalizing this company, Neil. You've got the ideas, the drive, and I'm not the only one feeling it.", "Neil: Well, thank you for saying that, but Jack's vote is the only one that matters.", "Leslie: Well, he just needs a little convincing.", "Neil: A little convincing? He about blew a fuse when I said that we ought to consider his ideas. Imagine the reaction when I tell him I think that we ought to go with 'em.", "Leslie: Do you really?", "Neil: Yeah. I mean, uh, the concept made me think, you know, step back a little bit, but, um, that's the whole point of guerilla marketing, you know? To get through the clutter and get inside your head. Mm. All those little eyeballs all over the place that he made-- I-I love it. It's a fresh, innovative campaign. It's gonna get people talking, and that's half the battle.", "Leslie: See? Listen to you, the passion and conviction. You can't tell me Jack wouldn't be impressed by that. You can't just walk away, Neil.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jamie: And I told the social worker I don't want to go back there.", "Lauren: Have you been to this group home before?", "Jamie: Yeah, another time my dad was... uh, unavailable.", "Lauren: Do you know this place?", "Michael: I've heard some things.", "Lauren: So what was it like?", "Jamie: You--you had to really watch your back. Y-your stuff would go missing, and if you complained, they'd let you have it.", "Lauren: And who would?", "Jamie: The other guys. Some of them were... pretty hard, you know?", "Lauren: Michael--", "Michael: We'll figure something out.", "Jamie: Look, I-I-I-- I'd rather just go home, on my own. I mean, at least nobody's gonna beat me up. I-I-I can get a job. I-I can pay for my own food--", "Michael: Jamie, I'll make some phone calls.", "Jamie: Uh, thanks. I didn't know if I should bother you guys.", "Lauren: Oh, I am so glad you came to us. This is just too much for somebody your age to handle by yourself.", "Jamie: I-I-I don't know what to do.", "Lauren: Oh, Jamie. Ohh.", "Jamie: Thank you.", "Fen: Seriously?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: You know I put a little system in there for you, too.", "Summer: (Laughs)", "Avery: Hello again.", "Nick: Hey.", "Summer: Oh, you're done with your meeting already?", "Avery: Uh, it never happened. My client had to cancel.", "Summer: Mm, seems to be a lot of that going around.", "Nick: Phyllis is delayed getting back from Chicago.", "Avery: Oh, Honey, I'm sorry. I know she was really looking forward to this dinner.", "Summer: You can join us if you want.", "Avery: Oh, uh, thank you, but I think I'm gonna head home.", "Nick: We ordered a lot of food. We could use some help eating it.", "Summer: Yes. Otherwise, Dad'll spend the whole night saying... (Deep voice) \"Oh, I can't believe I ate it all.\"", "Avery: (Laughs)", "Nick: Do I sound like that?", "Summer: (Laughs) Mm-hmm.", "Avery: Well... (Laughs)", "Summer: (Normal voice) Together, we can stop him from gorging himself.", "Avery: All right, I'll stay for a little while.", "Summer: (Chuckles)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jill: Here, let me hold this for you.", "Kay: No, no, no, no, I'm fine, I'm fine. I was only joking.", "Jill: Not this time, Katherine. You fainted.", "Kay: (Sighs, sniffles)", "Jill: Now were you lightheaded? Was there pain with it?", "Kay: Pain in the neck.", "Jill: My God, the next time, I'm gonna walk out of this room and leave you lying there. That would serve you right.", "Kay: Mm, mm.", "Jill: What, what's the matter with your head?", "Kay: I-I, uh, I-I... I-I think I must have hit it when I dropped onto the couch.", "Jill: You could have a concussion!", "Kay: Oh, don't be silly.", "Jill: No, I'm gonna call your doctor.", "Kay: Uh, uh...", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Fen: Group home, huh?", "Lauren: Yeah, your, uh, your dad thinks that he might be able to intervene on Jamie's behalf.", "Jamie: Maybe I should just go.", "Michael: Jamie, stop. Stick around, hang out with Fenmore for awhile. Let's see how far I can get tonight. It's a challenge.", "Fen: I just got a new video game. Come on.", "Michael: The simplest thing for us to do is to have him stay with us temporarily.", "Lauren: Yeah, well, I want that, too, but is there a problem that we're not licensed foster parents?", "Michael: Well, as an officer of the court, I think we could cut through some red tape.", "Fen: Hey, is there any of that chicken left? We're hungry.", "Lauren: (Chuckles) I'm just about to make dinner, but let me ask you a question. How would you feel if we asked Jamie to stay with us for awhile?", "Fen: Well, how--how long is \"A little while\"?", "Michael: Just until we can arrange for something else. Listen... I know that you have your issues with him, but the kid could just use a break, Fenmore.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Avery: Thank you.", "Summer: Thank you.", "Avery: Nick, do you feel all right?", "Nick: (Deep voice) I'm so full.", "Avery: (Laughs)", "Summer: (Laughs)", "Nick: (Chuckles)", "Phyllis: Oh, um, oh, listen, listen, I'm the birthday girl's mom. Can I take this over there? Do you--do you mind? Thank you.", "Avery: Interesting. (Laughs)", "Nick: I'll bet.", "Summer: Hi!", "Nick: Oh. Oh.", "Avery: Oh!", "Phyllis: Hey, happy birthday.", "Summer: Thank you!", "Phyllis: Yeah, uh...", "Summer: You made it.", "Phyllis: Well, of course. I'm not gonna miss my baby girl's birthday.", "Summer: Thank you. Oh, I am so happy that you're here. Look, Dad ate everything, but if you're starving, we can order more.", "Nick: (Chuckles)", "Phyllis: Oh, no, it's okay. I already ate.", "Summer: Okay.", "Phyllis: Yeah, um, make a wish.", "Summer: There's nothing left to wish for. I already have everything that I want.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Wh-when you say \"I belong at Jabot\"--", "Kyle: Well, is that not the same thing you said every day for years after Victor took over the company?", "Jack: You're implying that I can't handle anything else.", "Kyle: I'm saying you have enough on your plate. That's all I'm saying.", "Jack: Kyle, taking over Newman was an amazing business opportunity that fell into my lap.", "Kyle: Oh, yeah, can't we be real with each other, please? Taking over Newman wasn't a business move. It was payback for a lot of things, and in my opinion, that's beneath you.", "Jack: And what about this smear campaign? Is this beneath Victor? Why aren't you hassling him like you're hassling me?", "Kyle: You're missing the larger point here. You ought to be worried you weren't well enough to make it to that meeting with Matt Merrick, not worried about who's gonna read about it in some stupid internet article!", "Jack: I thought you didn't read the article.", "Kyle: Well, I imagine that's what it says.", "Jack: You imagine because... that's what you told the reporter? You did this to me?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: We were thinking about having pasta for dinner. That okay with you?", "Jamie: Oh, uh, I can't stay.", "Michael: No, it's fine. We're happy to have you.", "Lauren: In fact, we've all been talking about-- we would like you to stay with us while you get your living situation straightened out.", "Jamie: That--that's not why I came here. I wasn't expecting that.", "Michael: Are you opposed to the idea?", "Fen: It doesn't matter if you are. You've been outvoted. Hey, 3 to 1, you're staying.", "Jamie: Thanks.", "Lauren: Okay, I will make dinner and you're gonna make some calls, right?", "Michael: I'm going to make some calls, if you'll excuse me.", "Lauren: Yeah, good.", "Jamie: You're, uh, you're seriously cool with this?", "Fen: We're not adopting you. Just a place to crash.", "Jamie: Look, if I had anywhere else to go--", "Fen: Hey-- man, that group home sounds like a pit.", "Jamie: Pretty much my entire life sucks, and, no, that doesn't mean I'm after yours.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: Would you like some cake, Avery?", "Avery: Oh, no, thank you. I actually have some work at home that I need to be getting caught up on.", "Nick: She wouldn't have been here at all, but she had a client bail on her.", "Summer: Lucky us.", "Phyllis: Yeah, we're so lucky.", "Avery: Well, happy birthday, Honey.", "Summer: Thank you. Um, I'll see you tomorrow?", "Avery: Yes, you will.", "Summer: Okay, bye.", "Avery: Mwah!", "Nick: I'll walk you out.", "Phyllis: I'm sorry I was late.", "Summer: It's okay. It's not your fault. What's Jack's deal lately?", "Phyllis: Oh, I don't know. He's been very unpredictable lately, but you know, we're not gonna disparage him today, not on your birthday, not the man who delivered you.", "Summer: Yes, in an elevator during an ice storm, I know.", "Phyllis: Elevator, during an ice storm. It's true, it's true. You joke, but it's true.", "Summer: (Chuckles)", "Phyllis: The moment is seared in my brain... holding my beautiful baby girl for the first time, and now look at you.", "Summer: (Laughs) You're so gushy tonight.", "Phyllis: (Voice breaking) I love being your mother more than anything in the world.", "Summer: Not lately, probably.", "Phyllis: Definitely lately. (Normal voice) You remember what your dad and I used to say to you when we tucked you in at night?", "Summer: Yeah, no, Dad and I were just talking about that. Yeah, \"I love you more than infinity.\"", "Nick: And infinity is not affected at all by phases of bad behavior.", "Phyllis: Um, okay, well, I have a surprise. This is my gift to you.", "Summer: Okay.", "Phyllis: (Chuckles)", "Summer: (Chuckles) It's an infinity charm. Thank you, Mom.", "Phyllis: You're welcome.", "Summer: Thank you.", "Nick: It is beautiful.", "Summer: Um, I'm gonna go to the restroom. My mascara is just melting for some reason.", "Phyllis: (Chuckles)", "Nick: (Sighs)", "Phyllis: I'm glad she liked it. I-I know it doesn't make up for my being late.", "Nick: Why did you go to Chicago in the first place?", "Phyllis: Um... (Sighs) Uh, some business thing, just, uh, you know, Jack assured me I'd be-- I'd be back in time. He--he assured me it wasn't gonna be an issue.", "Nick: And he just didn't show up?", "Phyllis: Yeah. Don't get me started. This has been going on for weeks.", "Nick: What's been going on for weeks? You been covering for him?", "Phyllis: No, I'm not covering for him, Nick. It's just-- I-I-I think I'm just being selfish because it's, you know, screwing up my schedule, but he--he had major surgery. You just--it's--its incredible how he's recovered.", "Nick: Well, it was awfully big of you to move in with him so you could take care of him.", "Phyllis: Yeah, it was... but that's over. I'm back home now. It's a miracle, actually. It's incredible how quickly he's recovered.", "Nick: Well, I'm glad you're here. It would have crushed Summer if you didn't make it.", "Phyllis: I made it, okay? I made it. She liked my gift, so you can drop it, okay?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jamie: That was really good.", "Lauren: Thank you.", "Michael: All right, it is tough to get anyone on the phone during the holidays, but I am trying. But, Jamie, you are staying here until we sort this thing out.", "Lauren: Oh, that's a relief. (Chuckles) Okay, you guys ready for dessert?", "Fen: Oh, I've got a study session with Drew. Big Chem test tomorrow.", "Jamie: I-I should go get some clothes, uh, some of my stuff.", "Michael: Hey, you want some help?", "Jamie: No, go ahead and eat. I'm not bringing a lot.", "Lauren: All right, well, we will have dessert when you get back.", "Michael: Ooh, dessert. What do we got?", "Lauren: Ooh, come here, let me show you.", "Michael: (Chuckles)", "Jamie: Hey, uh... there's no test in chemistry tomorrow.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Cell phone rings)", "Summer: Hey, Fen.", "Fen: Happy birthday.", "Summer: I thought you forgot.", "Fen: Nah. Are you home?", "Summer: Nope, I'm with my parents.", "Fen: Okay, well, let me know when you get there. I have a present for you. Okay. (Chuckles) All right. I'll see you then.", "Jamie: Where are you really going?", "Fen: Summer's. It's her birthday. All right, you--you can hang out in my room if you want, but don't touch my computer, though.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Leslie: I bet Jack already regrets how he handled things with you.", "Neil: It can't be easy for him, turning over control of the company his father built.", "Leslie: Even more reason he knows he was wrong. He was probably coming at you from an emotional place.", "Neil: Yeah. Maybe I should give him some time. He might have a different take on things, huh?", "Leslie: Mm, so you need to be ready to remind him of all the reasons he shouldn't let you go, assuming you're willing to talk to him again.", "Neil: Yeah, I should be. Come on.", "Leslie: All right.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: You are the anonymous source.", "Kyle: I had my reasons.", "Jack: What possible reason could you have for destroying my repu--", "Kyle: I'm trying to save your life! I see where this is going, with the pills and the exhaustion.", "Jack: You are reading something into this situation that doesn't exist.", "Kyle: See, the more you lie to me, the more I know you have a serious problem.", "Jack: If you are so concerned, why not talk to me?", "Kyle: I tried, but you won't listen to me. I had to do something. You're the only parent I have left.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Doctor: Your blood pressure is elevated.", "Jill: Should she be hospitalized?", "Kay: No.", "Doctor: I don't think that's called for. You'll take it easy the rest of the night?", "Kay: Yes, yes, yes, yes.", "Jill: Katherine, this is serious.", "Doctor: We'll schedule a follow-up for next week.", "Jill: Great. I'll make sure that she's there on time, and thank you for stopping by.", "Doctor: No trouble at all.", "Kay: \"Yes, Doctor, I'll make sure she follows your instructions\"... as if you were the one who didn't cause what just happened.", "Jill: Me?", "Kay: Your deplorable taste in men!", "Jill: You know what? I'm not gonna fight with you. I'm not gonna engage with you on me seeing Tucker, because that's not what this health issue is about.", "Kay: It's just-- just coincidence that is what we were arguing about when I dropped onto the sofa?", "Jill: You're 300 years old, Woman.", "Kay: Oh... (Scoffs)", "Jill: It's a miracle you're still upright, and admit it-- this is not about Tucker and me. It's about Tucker and you. The two of you are so alienated from each other and you can't figure out how to fix it, and it's making you sick.", "Kay: You have no idea what you're talking about.", "Jill: (Sighs) Really? I have no idea what it's like to be alienated from my children? Katherine, in the last couple of years, I have forgiven and been forgiven by each of my sons-- by Phillip, by Billy, even by Cane, and it's changed me. It's changed my entire outlook on life, and it can do the same for you.", "Kay: This is entirely different.", "Jill: How is it different?", "Kay: Your sons weren't screwing over the people you love. No, it wasn't, Jill. I'm... I'm so ashamed of Tucker. Oh, God, I'm so ashamed of what he's done!", "Jill: And you're so ashamed of the part you played in making him who he is.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: (Chuckles)", "Summer: It was an awesome birthday. I-I really appreciate that you guys...", "Nick: Weren't screaming at each other?", "Summer: Yeah, I really appreciate it. Uh, do you need a ride home?", "Nick: Uh, you go ahead. I have a stop to make first.", "Summer: Okay. Thank you.", "Nick: Mm, I love you, Sweetheart.", "Summer: I love you.", "Nick: Happy birthday.", "Summer: Thank you. Bye, Mom.", "Phyllis: Okay, be safe.", "Summer: Okay, I will.", "Nick: Speed limit.", "Summer: Okay.", "Phyllis: No texting. (Chuckles) I wasn't sure about the car, but I think it was a good idea now.", "Nick: She needed to know that we still believed in her...", "Phyllis: Yeah.", "Nick: And I didn't realize how much she needed that until tonight.", "Phyllis: I think--I think she'll be okay, you know, with the responsibility.", "Nick: It's been a long few months, but she's gonna come out of this a lot more mature.", "Phyllis: Every-- every now and then, I get... glimpses of her as, um, an adult... and it's terrifying and thrilling all at the same time.", "Nick: I know what you mean. Look, Phyllis, we did a lot of things wrong--", "Phyllis: Yeah, we--we did a lot of things wrong, but when it comes to Summer, I think we did everything right.", "Nick: Yeah.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kay: Come on, you heard what the doctor said. I'm supposed to be relaxing.", "Jill: (Sighs)", "Kay: So if you really cared about my health, as you pretend to, then you will stop talking about Tucker!", "Jill: Katherine, you were able to make peace with me when you thought I was your daughter, and I was your nemesis. You despised me. All right, Tucker has disappointed you and vice versa, but it's nothing you couldn't get past if you were motivated, and he is.", "Kay: The only motives Tucker McCall has ever had... all ulterior.", "Jill: Not true. He loves you. He wants a relationship with his mother before it's too late. Come on, if you weren't so stubborn, you'd admit you want the same thing! (Exhales quickly) God. Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: Okay. (Sighs) See what you did? Here I am, back at the grindstone.", "Leslie: Yeah, it's good. I'm glad, though I must admit there's a downside to your staying on at Jabot.", "Neil: Really? And what is that?", "Leslie: We'll have to maintain our professional relationship, which rules out all those other interesting possibilities.", "Neil: You know... I did officially resign earlier, and I wasn't planning on taking that back till the morning, so for tonight, technically... I'm not your boss.", "Leslie: Mm-hmm. Nice try.", "Neil: Worth a shot, wasn't it?", "Leslie: Ah.", "Neil: Yeah.", "Leslie: (Laughs)", "Neil: (Laughs)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Knock on door)", "Summer: Hey, um, I was just about to open up your gift. Come in.", "Fen: Hi.", "Fen: Oh, that-- that's not from me.", "Summer: Oh, uh... it's not even a birthday card.", "Fen: (Chuckles) Somebody piss you off lately?", "Summer: Mm, not that I can remember. \"I'm sorry, sorry for the awkward moment. I wasn't planning to...\"", "Fen: \"Kiss you.\" Jamie kissed you?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: All right, be careful, this is very hot.", "Lauren: Uh, Honey...", "Michael: Huh?", "Lauren: Did you get Fen a new cell phone?", "Michael: Huh? No, why?", "Lauren: I found this one in his backpack.", "Michael: Well, this would be a downgrade from the one he has. This just can call and send texts.", "Lauren: You mean, it's prepaid?", "Michael: Yeah, it's a burner. Use it and toss it.", "Lauren: And why would Fen need one of these?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: So where's all this work that you had that made you come home?", "Avery: Oh, come on. Phyllis is entitled to enjoy her daughter's birthday without me around. Was she upset that you invited me to join?", "Nick: If she was, she kept it to herself.", "Avery: Okay, well, that's encouraging. You know, obviously, there's still a lot of tension between us, but in time, if that could taper off, it would be so good for everybody.", "Nick: I think, at our next family function, Phyllis might bring a date.", "Avery: Really? Was she dropping hints?", "Nick: Not intentionally. Just kind of got a feeling that something was brewing with Jack 'cause of the way she was talking.", "Avery: (Gasps) I had the same impression, and when I confronted her, she denied it vehemently.", "Nick: Yeah, I didn't ask. It's really none of my business, but it wouldn't surprise me.", "Avery: Well, it would be nice. I want my sister to be happy.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Just who I needed to see.", "Phyllis: I needed you, too, in Chicago.", "Jack: I'm sorry, I--", "Phyllis: I almost missed my own daughter's entire birthday.", "Jack: Look, I had a situation at Jabot, and then I had a meeting afterwards. It has been an awful day--", "Phyllis: You know what? My heart bleeds! It bleeds for you! If you can't handle the responsibilities that you've taken on, if you can't keep your promises, you get help, and I am talking real help. I am not talking the help that comes in a bottle. (Exhales sharply) I mean it. I am done covering for you.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Tyler: We could actually collaborate. No limits. Pure shared passion.", "Adam: Jack has a weakness, and all I have to do is exploit it.", "Jack: I am here to tell you there is absolutely no truth to the story reported by that so-called news outlet.", "[Laptop chimes]", "[Video plays]" ]

It came today, and it's gift-wrapped and tagged... ...for sully.", "Victor: Oh, sweetheart. Christian will love it, okay? And he's still here.", "Nikki: I know, thank god he's here. But with a new name. New family, new faces.", "Victor: And his real father. You know that's a blessing for both of them.", "Nikki: It is.", "Victor: Yeah.", "Nikki: It's just so much change for a baby. And for Faith. I mean, her whole life has been nothing but change lately.

She's getting dressed right now.", "Nikki: You were so sweet with her last night, out in the barn for hours drinking hot cocoa.", "Victor: I know, I know.

Yeah, I would hope she does.", "Noah: That your taking Faith back to your house.", "Nick: Well, she ran away from your mom's house, so it would make sense she should come home with me.", "Noah: Uh, I mean, she didn't really run away from mom. She ran away from the fighting. And she didn't exactly run straight to you.", "Nick: [Sighs] Yeah, well, it's my job to take care of your little sister, and I'm gonna do that.", "Noah: By cutting Mom out?", "Nick: I'm just trying to make this easier for Faith.", "Noah: Or easier on you. I mean, look, too bad if Faith needs her mom. Faith needs both of her parents.", "Nick: Look, I appreciate that you are concerned about her, but I got this, son. I promise.", "Noah: But I know from experience what Faith is going through. I lived it. I'm still living it. Even today. In between two parents who are at each other's throats.", "Sharon: Hey.

And the scrooge with the hands is Colin. And chi-town is Chicago. And he's staying there from now on. So I can go back to the chancellor house.", "Chloe: Wait, to live?", "Esther: To live and to work.", "Kevin: And you're excited about that?", "Esther: It's my home. And I want Bella to know Mrs. C.", "Kevin: Well, except she can't.", "Chloe: Yeah, okay, mom, you know, she's -- are you okay?", "Esther: Yes, and you know, I know Mrs. C.'s past, but she's still in every room of that house. And Bella can swim in the pool, right? And you can just have tea parties in the play house. Isn't that good? And you can pick flowers in the summer and you can make snow angels in the winter.", "Chloe: That is kind of adorable. Just don't put on the uniform for Bella's sake, yeah?", "Esther: Oh, no. This is for me. This is for us. And it's for Mrs. C. And won't Bella just love this? Mwah!", "Chloe: You know, you are pretty great as grandmothers go. Bella's very lucky. Okay, fine! I'm a very lucky daughter. Love you.", "Esther: I love you, too, honey. And I love you!", "Lauren: So, what are the projections?", "Michael: Merry Christmas to you, too! [Laughs]", "Lauren: Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay, what about east coast sales? [Gasps] Oh, my god! That's so fantastic! Yes! Thank you, Remy. And, uh, keep me posted, all right? Any updates. And merry Christmas! Bye. [Laughs] What's this?", "Michael: What was that? You're smiling.", "Lauren: I am smiling. Sales are solid. I mean, no final tallies yet, but...", "Michael: You seem relieved.", "Lauren: I'm not alarmed.", "Michael: Oh, you --", "Lauren: So, what is this?", "Michael: Oh, special delivery. Perishable.", "Lauren: Did fen send us some mutant fruit basket or something?", "Michael: Scott sent us the world's largest ham.", "Lauren: [Laughs] Well, come on. Let's open it up.", "Michael: That's why I have scissors.", "Lauren: Well, wait, wait, wait, careful! I mean, what if it is fruit?", "Gloria: Whoo!", "Lauren: [Screams]", "Gloria: [Laughs] Deck the halls, everybody. Gloria's back.", "Gloria: Oh, come on! Get me out of this thing! Come! Come, come, come! [Squeals, laughs]", "Michael: Uh, Gloria, this-this-this...", "Lauren: Quite a surprise.", "Gloria: Of course! Well, I couldn't leave my handsome sons alone on Christmas.", "Gloria: You and Kevin are my life. Nowhere else I'd rather be.", "Michael: I'm sure that was pleasant news for Jeffrey.", "[Both chuckle]", "Gloria: Oh, you should have seen the look on your face. Didn't know how limber I am, did you? Stunned. I would be, too. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to borrow your powder room because that box wreaks havoc on my hair. And when I get back, we'll celebrate the spirit of the season.", "Michael: Gloria.", "Lauren: Gloria.", "Michael: For Christmas.", "Lauren: How did you get on Santa's naughty list?", "Michael: Gloria...I mean... are you nervous, 'cause I'm -- I'm feeling very nervous.", "Lauren: It's okay. It's the holidays. We're gonna get through this.", "[Doorbell rings]", "Michael: No, no. What if it's Jeffrey in a box?", "Lauren: I'll get the scissors.", "Kevin: Merry ho-ho-ho. Who ordered the elf?", "Michael: Hey.", "Chloe: Hey!", "Lauren: Oh, Kevin.", "Kevin: Wait, what's wrong?", "Michael: We have news.", "Chloe: Who died? [Laughs]", "Gloria: Kevin! Kevin, I thought I heard your voice. [Laughs] I guess I did miss a lot while I was gone. Kevin. That precious little dumpling looks just like you.", "Dylan: [Sighs] Christmas come no matter what.", "Sharon: With Faith up at the main house.", "Dylan: She'll come down, you know, she'll unwrap some presents, she'll empty her stocking by the fireplace, and... who knows? We'll probably all eat too much and fall asleep watching a movie that Faith knows by heart.", "Sharon: That sounds like the perfect Christmas. Except...everything changed last night. Nick's so angry that we asked to have Faith stay with us over the winter break, victor thinks that he's a hero because he found Faith in the stables, and Nikki's...Nikki.", "Dylan: And Faith is Faith. You know, she was upset. She took off. That's what she does. You know it's not the first time. Remember when I found her in the woods? Back when you and I were just friends? Sometimes she needs to be alone to think. But then she comes home. To you.", "Sharon: Do you really think this is up to Faith?", "Dylan: I mean, who would it be up to?", "Sharon: I know the Newmans. I know how they work. I know how they think. They always find a way of getting what they want, and Nick insists that he's nothing like his father, but when it comes to Faith, he's got all that money and power behind him.", "Dylan: Yeah. You have me behind you. This time, they're not gonna win.", "Nick: [Sighs] You know, bud, I grew up just like you. I can remember so clearly being shuttled back and forth between my parents' houses, the constant arguing, always feeling like I'm caught in the middle.", "Noah: So then you understand. This is no way for a kid to grow up -- stuck between two fighting adults. That's just not fair. I mean, look, I wanted to divorce you and mom when I was kid, like Faith. When I got older, I followed Eden off to France just to get away from all the drama. It was endless between you two.", "Nick: Well, I mean, we definitely didn't do you any favors. Your mom and I, we... [Scoffs] We got together and broke up so many times, it was crazy. And you're right, it wasn't fair. But Faith isn't gonna have to deal with that. You know, your mom and I, we understand that we cannot argue with each other in front of her, you know, we can't bad-mouth each other, and we're trying.", "Noah: Well, you need to try harder. Because what happened backstage at Faith's play -- that can't happen again.", "Nick: It wasn't that bad, all right? I mean, it was mostly contained.", "Noah: Well, you know what you forget? You forget that Faith -- she can read you guys now, you know? She knows when the two of you are angry with each other, so she has to feel the responsibility of that? On top of everything else? Like I said before, it's not fair.", "Nick: Seems like you've thought a lot about this.", "Noah: It's just that this was a huge chunk of my life. You know? And, sure, I made it out the other side, but you know what got me through that? It was knowing exactly how much you and mom loved me. So we need to do the same thing for Faith.", "Nick: I appreciate you telling me this.", "Noah: Whether you want to hear it or not?", "Nick: Nah. Why don't you, uh, help your old man out? What do you think I should do for Faith?", "Noah: Well, I know the go-to position for a Newman is usually court.", "Noah: Mm, no. Nobody wants that again.", "Noah: Well, then, you and mom need to figure out how to get on the same page. Just the two of you. And do something now. Before it gets worse. All right? Just do it for Faith.", "Nikki: The house is always brighter when a child is in it, but... I wish Faith were here under better circumstances.", "Victor: Well, she's gonna have a wonderful and care-free Christmas. I will not let anyone ruin that for her.", "Nikki: Well, now, what do you mean when you say anyone?", "Victor: Anyone.", "Nikki: Because if you're talking about Sharon, I totally agree, but if you're throwing Dylan in there, none of this is his fault.", "Victor: Sweetheart, the only really blameless person in all of this is Faith. I mean, even Nicholas bears some responsibility. You know how hard it is for her, for that little girl to choose between two parents she loves?", "Nikki: I know. It's difficult enough for an adult, but for a child...", "Victor: Yeah. So we have to find a resolution because you and I know that whatever one's experiences are in childhood, they just don't fade away, you know?", "Nikki: Yeah.", "Victor: Hi, sweetheart.", "Faith: Morning.", "Nikki: Well, good morning. How you feeling?", "Victor: Are you ready to go for a ride? A pony ride? Once you've eaten something.", "Nikki: Or if you'd rather go home, we'd understand.", "Faith: Which home would I go to?", "Sharon: I'm so glad I can count on you.", "Dylan: Always. No matter what.", "Sharon: You know, we have to be prepared for the worst. Faith might not want to spend any part of Christmas with us. She might not even come down here for her stocking or for anything else.", "Dylan: No, she's upset, but I got to believe that she's gonna get past it.", "Sharon: Can she? Can you imagine being that little girl, trying to wrap her head around the fact that I hid Christian from her father, that I hurt her father that way?", "Dylan: Yeah, but last night was not about Christian.", "Sharon: Yes, but it was. It all about Christian. Nick and I were in a good place. Now we're not. That's because I lied to him about Christian. No matter what, it always goes back to that. And victor and Nikki, they'll do anything they can to shut me out of Faith's life.", "Dylan: How do you mean? Court? No way.", "Sharon: The courtroom is the Newman family's second home. And if a judge does that... if he tells me that I can't see Faith again...", "Dylan: Okay, that's -- that's not happening.", "Sharon: That's happened before.", "Dylan: Okay, well, we need to take control of the situation. You can protect Faith by making sure that you're in her life. So you got to talk to Nick and make him see that both of you working together can help Faith.", "Sharon: Nick's just so angry right now.", "Dylan: I know, I know it's not gonna be easy, but I know how much you love Faith, and I know you'll do whatever it takes to make this happen.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Dylan: Oh. I got to take this. It's the station. Detective McAvoy.", "Gloria: So, you are telling me that she is not my grandchild.", "Michael: I think Kevin and Chloe explained it rather clearly.", "Kevin: But Bella and I hang out all the time.", "Chloe: One compact happy family.", "Gloria: Wasn't that nice of the facility to let you out, dear. What is it, a three-day pass? Christmas or something?", "Chloe: No. I'm out. Completely sane. Would you like to see my discharge papers?", "Gloria: And you came right back to town, to my son, your ex-husband, whose heart you broke. Very interesting.", "Michael: All right, all right, all right, all right. We've got mulled wine, punch. Vodka by the gallon.", "Lauren: Yeah. Hot toddy. I mean, who doesn't like a good toddy, right?", "Michael: Yes.", "Gloria: They give me indigestion. Maybe it wasn't the drink.", "Kevin: Gloria, Chloe is here, she's healthy, and I am lucky that she lets me spend as much as time with the \"precious dumpling\" as I want.", "Gloria: So, the courts forgave you for trying to take out Adam with a car.", "Kevin: That's right. All is forgiven. Chloe's been back for six months, and everything is back to normal.", "Gloria: Six months. So, you were here when Adam was blown to smithereens in that cabin.", "Kevin: Vodka. Let's go with vodka.", "Michael: Of course. Yes.", "Chloe: So we've both been locked up. You took off an innocent woman's skin with tainted face cream. Bygones, right?", "Gloria: Meow! [Laughs] Guess I hit a nerve. Oh, it's good to know that your time away didn't extinguish your spark.", "Kevin: Your mom is on her way, right? She's on her way? Esther's on her way.", "Lauren: Oh, I'm so happy your mom's coming. That's great.", "Kevin: And she's on her way.", "Michael: Say it one more time.", "Chloe: You know what, she looks a little flushed. I'm gonna go take her jacket off.", "Kevin: What is wrong with you? Could you just...not? For me? For today? For Christmas?!", "Gloria: [Chuckles] Oh, sugar plum angel, I'm gonna do you one better. Best Christmas present ever. I'm gonna get that woman and her child out of your hair forever.", "Michael: All right, everyone. We've got mulled wine and hot toddies and an apple juice coming up!", "Lauren: Ooh!", "Michael: Everybody partake, shall we?", "Chloe: Yeah. Oh, thank you.", "Lauren: I have that for you.", "Chloe: Great. Oh, yeah!", "Lauren: So, how much booze is in here?", "Michael: Not nearly enough.", "Kevin: You do not get to decide who is in my life or my house, and you don't get to try and chase Chloe and Bella away.", "Gloria: That woman is trying to take advantage of you, Kevin.", "Kevin: Oh, really? Is she using me as a sugar daddy, mom? I work at the GCPD. She works for Chelsea 2.0.", "Gloria: What?! [Groans] It's like she's got all of you bewitched. What is it, more of Ashley Abbott's thing she brewed up? What is it called? Sex or hex...", "Kevin: Mom, where is this coming from? You and Chloe used to get on really well.", "Gloria: For your sake, honey. And then she ripped your heart out of your chest and ground it into sausage.", "Kevin: Chloe and I are fine. We're better than fine. And you've seen Bella. She's amazing.", "Gloria: Yeah, yeah, she must take after her father. Who is the father, by the way? Does she even know?", "Kevin: Enough. You may not like it, but you are going to treat Chloe with resp--", "Gloria: Love? Ooh! Respect. That's a good one.", "Kevin: Just don't torture her. Do not ruin this for me. I mean it. Drink, please!", "Michael: Right. How many?", "Kevin: Yes.", "Michael: All right.", "Chloe: Well, that looked fun. You and Kevin.", "Gloria: A mother always cares. You should know that, Chloe. By the by, whose child are you trying to foist on my son?", "Sharon: I was just coming over to see you, to talk about Faith.", "Nick: And say what? Look, Sharon, we have got to get on the same page. I just had a talk with Noah. He didn't pull any punches. We cannot do to Faith what we did to him.", "Sharon: Exactly. I want to find a way to work through this for Faith's sake without every decent moment spiraling into anger and frustration.", "Nick: Well, I do have every reason to be upset, don't I? We have to do whatever we can to make Faith feel secure.", "Sharon: Exactly.", "Nick: Which is why I think it was a bad idea for her to stay here last night.", "Sharon: Faith running off the way that she did had nothing to do with where she was sleeping.", "Nick: No, I know. It all comes back to Christian and what happened with him.", "Sharon: Right. Because it's all my fault.", "Nick: Let's just focus on Faith.", "Sharon: I would love to do that, but you seem to want to punish me, and I can take it, but I don't think that Faith should have to be a part of it.", "Nick: Well, that's what I came to say.", "Sharon: You think that Faith should be with you all the time.", "Nick: And you think she should be with you.", "Sharon: Well, this isn't about us.", "Nick: Right. We have to find a way to make this okay for Faith.", "Sharon: That's all I want, too.", "Victor: That was a great ride, wasn't it? I think patches enjoyed riding with you.", "Faith: I think he said he wants another apple.", "Victor: I think so, too.", "Faith: [Giggles]", "Victor: Yep. [Groans] My goodness.", "Faith: Can we stay here again tonight?", "Victor: Oh, sweetheart. Santa's coming. Besides that, your parents would love to see you. Are you looking forward to seeing them?", "Faith: I know what will happen. They'll just start fighting again. They can't help it.", "Victor: Sweetheart, you know, parents are just people. I mean, they make mistakes. I know they're trying very hard, but they just sometimes can't help it. They just fight. But that doesn't mean that they don't love you. They love you with all their hearts. They just want to do what's right for you.", "Faith: But why do they get to make all of the decisions?", "Victor: Yeah, that -- [Laughs] That's a good question. Because they are parents. That's why.", "Faith: Kaylee got to talk to the judge when her parents got divorced.", "Victor: Well, you know, every situation is a little different, and I got to tell you one thing. You don't want to go to court.", "Faith: But the judge listened to what she wanted. Why don't I get to choose where I want to live?", "Victor: Hmm. Come here. Come here. Well, let's not talk about that right now. Let's talk about Santa coming, okay?", "Nikki: Well, all three of you. That's either very good news or terrible.", "Nick: Sharon and I have come up with an agreement about Faith.", "Nikki: Really? Both of you?", "Dylan: It's fair to everybody, especially Faith.", "Nikki: Well, that's wonderful. And I'm very happy to see both of my sons together. Maybe this holiday season will prompt you to find your way back to being brothers.", "Sharon: I'd like to see Faith. Is she upstairs?", "Victor: Faith is just great, okay? I just came from the stables. She's there with buck, helping him brush her pony.", "Sharon: I'll go find her.", "Victor: I don't think that would be too good of an idea right now.", "Sharon: Victor, she's my daughter.", "Victor: Sharon, I'm perfectly aware that she's your daughter, but she feels a lot of tension now because of the continuous fighting between you and her father.", "Nick: Well, that's why we're here. We have come up with a schedule at my house and at Sharon's, so Faith always knows where she's gonna be. She won't feel like she has to choose.", "Victor: Son, let me ask you something. Have you ever considered asking her what she wants to do before you make decisions regarding her future?", "Esther: Thank you so much for having me.", "Michael: Oh, sure.", "Lauren: We're so happy you're here, and I'm sorry, do I smell banana bread?", "Esther: Yes.", "Michael: Ooh! Let me see! Let me see!", "Esther: And pumpkin bread and zucchini bread.", "Lauren: Yes!", "Michael: Oh! Here, let me get this.", "Chloe: Bella is my daughter, and that is all you need to know, Gloria.", "Gloria: Well, you might have hooked up with another inmate who will come after my son with a hockey mask and a machete.", "Chloe: Do you really want to exchange daddy résumés? After terrible tom and river? River the con?", "Gloria: I got your game, Chloe -- pushing that child on Kevin, stirring up his protective instincts just so you can crush him again under your dainty size 5'S.", "Chloe: Maybe you don't know this, but I sent Kevin divorce papers when I was in a psychiatric facility. I wasn't really in a position to be married to anyone.", "Gloria: You blindsided him.", "Chloe: Which I regret.", "Gloria: You don't regret breaking Kevin's heart. You regret being called out for it. Well, you listen to me, cupcake. Mommy's back. I got my eye on you.", "Nick: So, what exactly did you say to Faith?", "Sharon: Other than trying to turn her against her own mother?", "Victor: I didn't say a damn thing to Faith, okay? I listened. She talked. And she talked about a girl called Kaylee.", "Sharon: Oh, her parents were divorced this year...", "Victor: And about the fact that Kaylee was allowed to choose what parent she wanted to stay with. That is more than any of you have done for Faith.", "Dylan: Meaning us.", "Nikki: Look, victor is not taking sides. He just wants to make sure Faith feels safe.", "Dylan: Where are we going with all of this? To Faith saying that she wants to be with Nick 24/7? Because, victor, you wouldn't push this idea, and we know whose side you're on.", "Nikki: I'm on Faith's side. I agree. It's been horrible for you and Nicholas. It's not fair. But you're adults. You have coping mechanisms. She's a child. She needs our support.", "Sharon: I agree with Dylan. All of this is to shut us out.", "Nick: So, if Faith doesn't want to be with you, it's because she's been brainwashed, not because she knows what you did to me and Christian?", "Victor: Will you stop all of this? All you're doing is you're feeling sorry for yourselves. The schedule you came up with is meaningless. You're gonna continue to argue, and you're forgetting about the most important person in all this. That's Faith.", "Nick: What are you saying? Faith should make this decision on her own, where she wants to live?", "Victor: Listen, she needs consistency, she needs predictability, she needs security. And wherever she thinks she can find that, that's who she shall stay with.", "Sharon: And you don't know where that is? I don't buy that.", "Victor: I don't give a damn whether you buy it or not. I never talked to her about it.", "Nick: Faith doesn't need you confusing her any more than she already is.", "Nikki: Nicholas, your father is trying to tell you how Faith feels, and you're being too stubborn to listen!", "Victor: I am not confusing her about a damn thing, and don't you accuse me of that. Would you rather go to court and settle this?", "Dylan: Nobody wants that.", "Noah: Grandpa's right. All Faith wants is for somebody to listen to her. You know, she wants a vote in her own life. That's what I would have wanted.", "Sharon: That is such a huge decision.", "Noah: You should let her do this, mom. She needs it. You too, dad.", "Nick: Fine. We'll listen.", "Noah: And you're gonna respect her decision and mean it? Don't say you're gonna hear her out and then say you don't like what she said and continue fighting about it. If you want her trust, prove you deserve it.", "[Door slams]", "Faith: I could hear you all outside. You don't think I can decide. But I have.", "Nikki: About where you want to live, sweetheart?", "Faith: I know what I want. But... I don't know if you'll let me do it.", "Michael: Mwah.", "Esther: Gloria, it's so nice to see you again. What wonderful timing, back for Christmas.", "Chloe: Fun, fun, fun.", "Gloria: Yes! Looks like I got here just in time.", "Lauren: So, Gloria, tell us about your travels.", "Michael: Yeah, when are we gonna see good old Jeffrey?", "Gloria: Do not mention his name to me ever. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to know it. And if I could wash my brain clean of his very existence, I would do it in a heartbeat.", "Kevin: So, things aren't great, is what I'm hearing.", "Gloria: I left that leathery gasbag in a French racetrack in Deauville.", "Michael: So I take it that very expensive racehorse didn't place.", "Gloria: I wouldn't know! Didn't stick around to find out. No. It didn't.", "Chloe: Bummer.", "Gloria: So, I came home to be in the bosom of my family.", "Esther: Isn't it wonderful to see Kevin and Chloe together again?", "Gloria: Oh, yes. Just peachy. Couldn't make me happier. Every mother's dream to see her son with a lunatic.", "Chloe: [Scoffs]", "Esther: Is there a problem?", "Gloria: If you have an hour or two, Esther, I'll be glad to explain to you very slowly.", "Esther: Now, one minute. I don't like your tone.", "Chloe: Esther! Uh, will you help me find Bella's shoe? I think she lost it.", "Esther: It's on her foot.", "Chloe: It's a glove. Can you help me find the glove?", "Esther: Okay. I'll help you find it.", "Chloe: Thank you. Come here, sweetie. Come here. Come here. Come with mommy. Come on.", "Kevin: Woman, what did I say? You will not ruin this holiday or anything else for me.", "Gloria: Me? Never, my angel. You were supposed to be your brother's keeper. What did you do to him? Leaving him out like a piece of meat for that she- wolf.", "Michael: Look, if this is about you being upset about Jeffrey, I --", "Gloria: Uh! Uh!", "Michael: Ooh, okay. \"He whose name must not be mentioned...\"", "Gloria: Yes. Speaking of unspeakables, why won't Chloe talk about who the father of that child is? But not to worry. I will find out her secret. And I will save Kevin from her and that child.", "Lauren: I think it's going well, don't you think?", "Michael: Yeah.", "Sharon: We're so sorry, baby.", "Nick: Yeah, what happened at your performance...", "Sharon: We should have never behaved that way. We just love you so much that the idea of not being with you...", "Nick: You know, it makes us a little crazy. But we're not gonna let anything like that happen again.", "Faith: Yes, you will. You always do.", "Nick: Not anymore.", "Sharon: No, we -- we've made a schedule, so there's no more discussion. You'll always know who you will be with on what day.", "Nick: Yeah, there's nothing to argue about now, okay? You have our word.", "Faith: Back and forth. Mom's house, dad's house, mom's house...", "Sharon: Well, that's the way it's always been.", "Faith: And you always end up fighting anyway. So what's the difference?", "Victor: Sweetheart. I told both of your parents that you would like to make up your mind about where you want to stay.", "Nikki: You know how much everybody loves you, right? Your mother, your father, Dylan.", "Noah: Me, too. Look, I know that it's tough. I do. Going back and forth between houses. You know, when I was a kid, it used to tie my stomach up in knots. But you're a lot tougher than I was when I was a kid. So you just tell them what you need, and I promise, I will do my best to make them listen.", "Faith: I don't like this schedule. It's not what I want.", "Nick: Okay, uh, you know, whatever you want, I'm in, 100%.", "Sharon: Um, yes. If this is how we can help you, then that makes us happy, too.", "Noah: It's up to you, Faith. What's your decision?", "Faith: I don't want to live with mommy. And I don't want to live with daddy. I want to stay here. With grandma and grandpa.", "Faith: Yeah, I knew they wouldn't listen.", "Nick: No, we -- we're definitely listening.", "Sharon: You just caught us by surprise, that's all.", "Nick: I never thought that you wouldn't pick, you know, your mom's or to live with me, and I guess I'm just wondering if maybe you didn't make this decision yourself.", "Victor: What are you implying, son? This was Faith's decision. I had no idea what she was thinking.", "Faith: I didn't tell grandpa. I didn't tell anybody till now.", "Nick: Do you know what this means? You living here full-time?", "Faith: I know it means nobody fights. Nobody gets mad.", "Sharon: Sweetie, of course you love being here with grandma and grandpa. It's always fun. It's pony rides and play time. But, you know, rules are important, too. Bedtime and screentime and homework and eating your fruits and vegetables.", "Faith: I have to do all of that here. Sometimes they're even stricter.", "Sharon: Well, we are your parents, and if you had wanted to live with your father, I could understand that, but I didn't agree to you staying with anyone else.", "Noah: You said you'd respect her decision. It would be the same rules as mom and dad's, right? I mean, it wouldn't be like a permanent vacation?", "Faith: No.", "Sharon: It's not going to be a permanent anything.", "Dylan: It's just for now. Faith needs to know that she has some control. Isn't that right?", "Faith: Mm-hmm. I didn't ask grandma and grandpa, though. They might not want me around all the time.", "Victor: Of course we do, my sweetheart.", "Nikki: We are so happy that you feel safe with us. You're welcome to stay as long as you need.", "Faith: Okay. Then I guess it's a deal.", "Nick: Okay. I'll go get your stuff.", "Sharon: I'll go get your things, too. But, you know, if you want to come back home, or visit... or -- [Voice breaking] You know we just want you to be happy.", "Faith: I will be. Here.", "Victor: Come here, my sweetheart. Come here. Come here.", "Nikki: Oh, honey.", "Victor: It's okay.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Gloria: I'm going to stay with you and Lauren for as long as you'll have me.", "Jack: You're really at the point where you're ready to walk away?", "Phyllis: You were right. It's what best for both of us.", "Traci: Just stay long enough to spend some time with your sisters on Christmas Eve, please?" ]

[ "Nikki and Victor published a press release saying that they teamed up to save Chancellor park. Victoria and Abby saw the statement and were pleased that Victor and Nikki had reunited. Victor lead Victoria to believe he'd told Nikki that JT had decided not to turn her in. Nick questioned Nikki about her abrupt reconciliation with Victor. Nikki admitted that Victor blackmailed her into returning to the ranch, but she assured Nick that she was happy with the arrangement. Nikki told Nick that she was the one who outbid Victor and bought the park. A concerned Nick told Chelsea that it was just a matter of time before Victor broke down Nikki's defenses and hurt her again. Chelsea cheered Nick up with some romance. Paul thought Victor and Nikki's sudden reunion was odd. He was disappointed that JT couldn't find something to nail Victor. Nikki told Victoria why she'd gone back to Victor. Victoria told Nikki that JT, not Victor, was the one who made the charges go away. Nikki confronted Victor about his lies. She decided to stay at the ranch since Victor could still tell the authorities what she'd done. Nikki noted that she could turn Victor in for breaking Adam out of prison or bringing Chloe to town. Victor and Nikki toasted to themselves being a formidable couple. Mariah decided to quit her job because Hilary made her dress up as a snowman for the show. Sharon urged Mariah not to be hasty. Mariah and Hilary came to a compromise, and Mariah decided not to quit. Mariah hinted that Scott was keeping things from Sharon. Scott took Mariah aside and assured her that there was nothing going on between him and Abby. Scott praised the work Mariah did on the Hilary hour and said he'd be interested in hiring her at Hashtag. Mariah accused him of trying to buy her silence. Sharon walked in on the conversation, but Mariah and Scott came up with a cover story.", "Mariah asked Abby if she was involved with Scott. Abby denied it. Mariah made it clear that she'd fight for Sharon's happiness. JT was shocked to see Mariah, because he didn't realize Cassie had a twin. JT bought Abby a drink. Sharon and Scott spent some time catching up with JT and Abby. Sharon inadvertently made Scott and Abby uncomfortable when she told JT how they'd been trapped together. Scott and Sharon got their own table, but Scott couldn't stop watching Abby laughing and talking with and JT. Scott told Sharon that he didn't think it would be a good idea for Abby to date JT, because of his reputation. JT invited Abby to go visit the old bar where he used to hang out. Abby thought JT was asking her out, and she tore into him for it because he was married, and he'd been romantically involved with Abby's sister and cousin. JT swore he just wanted to hang out with Abby as friends, but she didn't believe him. Scott and Sharon saw the whole thing. Sharon theorized that Abby overreacted because something else was bothering her. Abby told Victoria that JT made a pass at her. JT explained that Abby misunderstood. JT admitted that he and Mac had been separated for some time, and she'd taken D.J. and Becca and moved back to Washington D.C. He also revealed that the reason he took the assignment in Genoa City was that he lost his full time job. JT planned to go home to Warsaw tomorrow. Victoria didn't want him to spend the holidays alone, so she invited him to stay and celebrate with her and Reed.", "" ]

[ "[PREVIOUSLY_ON]", "Faith: Then scott kissed abby. Like, really kissed her.", "Victoria: Well, it sounds like poland is agreeing with everyone. I'm sure the transition was a little rough -- such a big change and everything.", "J.T.: Well, we've hit some bumps along the way, but we adjusted. It's gonna come as a shock to nikki that she's off the hook with the authorities.", "Victor: Do me a favor. Don't let her know that she's been cleared. I want to convey that news to her myself. I've been expecting you. Welcome back. Why did you take the money? What did you use it for?", "Nikki: I bought...a park.", "Victor: Good morning.", "Nikki: How was your workout?", "Victor: Great. That a good book?", "Nikki: Not bad. Oh, I went over all of our january social engagements, and I will coordinate them with your assistant.", "Victor: All right. [ Tablet chimes ] Oh, look at this here. This is devon's press release.", "Nikki: \"Victor and nikki newman reunite to save chancellor park.\" All that's missing is \"and they lived happily ever after.\" Although, when you think about it, our story is like a fairy tale in that it's all a fabrication.", "Victoria: \"The adversity that victor and nikki have endured has only brought them closer together.\"", "Abby: \"Their time apart has made them stronger.\" Wait, so nikki moved back to the ranch?", "Victoria: I didn't know, either, until I read this.", "Abby: So you haven't spoken to her or dad?", "Victoria: No, I haven't, but I'm dying to know all of the details. I mean, obviously this is very personal for them, and I can't be happier that their relationship is back on track.", "Abby: Yeah. Me, too. And I'm glad that nikki's home. I always believed that she made dad a better person. I just hope...", "Victoria: What?", "Abby: I just hope it lasts.", "Nick: How did this happen? When did this happen?", "Chelsea: Okay, I see steam coming out of your ears. What has you so upset?", "Nick: My parents are the new owners of chancellor park.", "Chelsea: Huh.", "Nick: \"Huh?\" That's your reaction to this? \"Huh?\" Just yesterday, my parents were at each other's throats with this development. Today, they have a united front? This makes no sense. Zero sense.", "Chelsea: I don't know, I've given up trying to figure out your parents. Does the article say anything about what victor and nikki plan to do with the park?", "Nick: \"The park will continue to be a memorial to nikki newman's close friend katherine chancellor while making improvements to become a greater resource to the citizens of genoa city.\" [ Laughing ] I mean, what -- oh! \"Victor newman's very much looking forward to working on this project with his wife.\" Are you kidding me?", "Chelsea: Well, listen, one point for the good guys. And -- added bonus -- you don't have to print out fliers or organize rallies anymore.", "Nick: How did my mom get her hands on this park, and why didn't she tell me about it?", "Chelsea: I mean, who cares? She saved it. Isn't that what you wanted?", "Nick: But she's working on it with my dad? I -- that article makes it seem like they're back together.", "Chelsea: Like I said, I've given up trying to figure out your parents.", "Nick: What the hell is going on with them?", "Nikki: You know, if anybody read this, they would think we're about to embark on our umpteenth honeymoon, that we worked together to save chancellor park, when in reality, I am the one who outbid you.", "Victor: With the money you embezzled from me.", "Nikki: Victor, don't forget, I promised I would pay you back.", "Victor: Yeah. In a manner of speaking.", "Nikki: And I agreed to move back to the ranch. I am playing the devoted wife. I am helping to restore the newman name to its former glory. I would say that I have done more than enough.", "Victor: Well, as long as you keep your word, no one will know that you committed a crime.", "Nikki: Oh! Goodness. All right. I've got to go.", "Victor: Where are you going?", "Nikki: I have an appointment with a landscape architect. We're gonna discuss the park.", "Victor: Oh, yeah? That doesn't include me?", "Nikki: Well, you're not invited. Remember, you're a co-owner in name only. And as per our agreement, I'm in charge of all decision-making regarding the land.", "Victor: Okay. But doesn't that look suspicious if I don't show up at any of those meetings?", "Nikki: No. Not at all. You trust your loving wife to make decisions on your behalf while you are busy running your billion-dollar company.", "Victor: All right.", "Nikki: Although, you know, on second thought, you might be right. Maybe we should reschedule. I just worry that in your haste to update everyone about our relationship status that you're gonna be dropping a bombshell on our family and friends, and we need to convince them that this charade is sincere. And we need to do it today.", "Paul: You know, the timing of this newfound closeness between nikki and victor is certainly odd, don't you think?", "J.T.: They're the definition of \"on again-off again,\" right?", "Paul: Yeah, but as soon as victor's bank anomaly turned out to be a mistake, it was all back on again. It just doesn't smell right.", "J.T.: Maybe the good news of the audit rekindled some old feelings. Who knows, right?", "Paul: Right. Only in victor's world does a financial crisis work as an aphrodisiac. You know, I just find it hard to believe that there wasn't something you could pin on victor. I mean, the guy's good at covering his butt, but he's not that good.", "J.T.: If he covered up any illegal activities, I couldn't find it, and believe me, i tried.", "Paul: I know. You did your best. It's just that... you know, I really thought that we were gonna nail him this time.", "Sharon: Victor really did a 180 about the park. I suppose it's possible that nikki changed his mind.", "Scott: Yeah, she can be persuasive, but still, it just...", "Sharon: What?", "Scott: It doesn't add up.", "Sharon: Why not?", "Scott: Victor assigned abby and me to find out who the new owner was, and the next thing i know, it's him and he's been working with nikki all along.", "Sharon: I agree, that's odd, but I'm sure victor had his reasons, no matter how twisted they were.", "Scott: Yeah, but --", "Sharon: Don't drive yourself crazy trying to figure him out.", "Scott: You're right. And if anything, nick will be happy now that the park is saved.", "Sharon: Santa really came through for him, didn't he?", "Scott: And for you, too. I know how much you wanted to preserve that land, as well. Question is -- how am I gonna top that one?", "Sharon: Don't worry. You are the only christmas present I need.", "Scott: Mm.", "Mariah: Save it for the mistletoe.", "Sharon: [ Gasps ] Oh!", "Scott: [ Laughing ] Oh!", "Sharon: You...look...", "Mariah: Ridiculous.", "Scott: [ Sighs ]", "Sharon: I was gonna say christmas-y!", "Mariah: You know what, I'm gonna stick with ridiculous.", "Scott: What's the occasion?", "Mariah: \"The hilary hour\" christmas episode.", "Sharon: You're going to be wearing that on tv?", "Mariah: Coast to coast!", "Sharon: [ Giggling ]", "Mariah: No, it's fine.

I'm calling hilary to tell her i quit. My dad'S.", "Victor: Hi, my sweetheart.", "Victoria: Hi, daddy.", "Victor: So, I hear that your negotiations in hong kong were a great success.", "Victoria: Thank you.", "Victor: Thank you.", "Victoria: But you know, that is so not what I want to discuss.", "Victor: Oh, yeah? What do you want to discuss?", "Victoria: You and mom are back together?", "Victor: [ Chuckles ] Well, she finally came to her senses, yes.", "Victoria: Okay, dad, well, you're being just a little bit vague right now.", "Victor: Well, your mother apologized for having betrayed me and, uh, I let it be known that I wouldn't mind having her back in my life. You know, I never stopped loving your mother, you know that.", "Victoria: I do. It's just a rather abrupt turn of events, though.", "Victor: Love makes one do crazy things.", "Victoria: I'm not gonna argue that at all. How did she react when you told her that J.T. Wasn't following through with the embezzlement charges?", "Victor: Oh, obviously much relieved. I mean, imagine you suddenly realize that you're no longer being prosecuted. That's an enormous weight off your shoulders, you know.", "Victoria: Another curious turn of events. Chancellor park development.", "Victor: Oh.", "Victoria: It seems that one minute, you said you wouldn't let anything stand in your way, and then the next minute, you seem...", "Victor: Well, as you know, your mother and I always had an enormous fondness for katherine.", "Victoria: You let mom outbid you?", "Victor: We teamed up. I helped her finance the project. I want to make your mother happy. That is more important to me than developing some site to put some condos on. I can do that anywhere.", "Nick: So, after everything that's gone down, suddenly you run back to dad. I don't buy it.", "Nikki: Why not? Aren't you the one who predicted it? Because it's our pattern? Well, I guess you were right. I realized being victor's adversary was making me miserable. I'm happier with him than I am without him.", "Nick: And you figured all this out after you stole the money or after he summoned you to the ranch?", "Nikki: Well, he didn't brainwash me.", "Nick: What did he say to make you suddenly turn on a dime?", "Nikki: I told you!", "Nick: Look, that explanation may fool everyone else. It's not fooling me. Okay. In case you haven't noticed, i have a lot of time on my hands, so...we're not going anywhere until you tell me the truth.", "Mariah: Hey! Hey! Give it back!", "Sharon: I will, as soon as you cool off. No pun intended.", "Mariah: Fine. I'M... I'm calm. I'm cool and collected. May I please have my phone back?", "Sharon: Not until we discuss your decision to quit the gc buzz.", "Mariah: I thought you were supposed to support my decisions!", "Sharon: Mm, only the good ones.", "Mariah: I would say that getting away from hilary and her constant torture is an excellent one.", "Sharon: Torture is a little over-the-top, don't you think?", "Mariah: Uh, no! I don't think! Do you forget the part where she tripped me on live television? She goes out of her way to sabotage segments. I mean, she threw pasta sauce on me in one of them. The only reason that she wants me to wear this is to embarrass me, and if I don't put an end to it, it's only gonna get worse!", "Sharon: I understand, okay? And quitting may seem like the right thing in the moment, and it may even teach hilary a lesson, but then what are you gonna do after that?", "Mariah: Find another job where I'm not constantly humiliated.", "Sharon: Such as?", "Mariah: I mean, this is ridiculous! I am the on-air host of a nationally syndicated television show. I can find another job!", "Sharon: Just like that?", "Mariah: I don't see why not.", "Sharon: Okay, well, let's ask someone who has some experience in your field. Scott?", "Scott: Huh?", "Sharon: Is it really that easy to go out there and get another job?", "Scott: Eh, it can be tough. There's a lot of competition out there.", "Sharon: After you were... after you came back to genoa city, it was a while before you started working as a reporter again, right?", "Scott: Case in point.", "Sharon: Okay, and I'm sure you had a lot of ups and downs even before that. I mean, you didn't start your career covering major international events and war zones, did you?", "Scott: No, hardly. I mean, the worst job I had was when I was at grad school. I was interning for a newspaper in toronto writing obituaries and typing in classified ads. This one day, I was really tired and I got the two of them confused, and I ended up... and I'll save that story for another day.", "Sharon: I don't want you staying at a job that makes you miserable, honey. I just want you to consider the consequences of your actions.", "Mariah: Fine. Message received and processed. I will have a rational discussion with hilary about not wearing this monstrosity. And if that doesn't work, I'm gonna shove it down her -- I'm kidding. I'm kidding! Kidding. Partially. Because if she doesn't budge then quitting is still on the table because I cannot be the only one who compromises.", "Sharon: Fair enough. Obits and classifieds? I thought I knew everything about you.", "Scott: [ Chuckles ]", "Mariah: I bet there's a lot you don't know.", "Nick: You want ham or turkey? On your sandwich. 'Cause it looks like we're gonna be here for a while, so I might as well feed you.", "Nikki: [ Scoffs ] I could have walked out the door while you were in the kitchen, nicholas.", "Nick: Nah. Child-proof locks. Practically takes a magician to get out, so... crust or no crust?", "Nikki: You can't keep me hostage.", "Nick: You know what, mom, you're right. You can leave whenever you want, but just know I'm gonna follow you. I don't care where you go -- the salon, the club, charity meetings -- I'm gonna be right behind you asking you \"why? Why? Why?\"", "Nikki: All right! Because victor promised to keep me out of prison, okay?", "Nick: So he blackmailed you into coming home?", "Nikki: Turnabout is fair play.", "Nick: And that means what exactly?", "Nikki: When he brought chloe back to genoa city, I held that over his head for months.", "Nick: Well, that's different. You didn't force him to move out or make any public appearances.", "Nikki: Even though he did force my hand, I have to admit, I'm very happy being back at the ranch.", "Nick: Mm. Are you trying to convince me or yourself?", "Nikki: I'm serious. I've missed being the matriarch of the newman family, and to see much more of the grandchildren when they come to visit for christmas.", "Nick: Hmm. So it's not seasonal nostalgia or you breaking up with jack as a factor?", "Nikki: Well, come on, it's not like I was sitting around watching sappy holiday movies eating gingerbread cookies waiting for the phone to ring.", "Nick: Sorry. Still trying to process this.", "Nikki: Look, this is beneficial to me, and I'm going to take advantage of that, and I keep my independence. My relationship with your father will strictly be --", "Nick: What, it's gonna be different this time? Am I the only one experience déjà vu here?", "Nikki: It will be.", "Nick: How?", "Nikki: I have no illusions that he's ever going to change. But I have.", "Nick: You say that, but you still bought chancellor park with him.", "Nikki: Well, actually... I was the mystery buyer.", "Nick: You?", "Nikki: Yep. And it was quite the thrill. And I'm hungry to do more. I mean, let's face it, how many charity luncheons can i organize? I feel like there are things that I can do that I've never done before. And I feel that I can make a change for the better in so many things.", "Nick: That's great, but I'm still confused.", "Nikki: About what?", "Nick: The article made it sound like you teamed up with dad, like he was bidding against himself.", "Nikki: Oh, victor wanted people to think that, so i humored him. I guess it's kind of true, though. Since I bought the park using every penny that I stole from him. Oh, but it was worth it. You should have seen the look on his face when I told him. [ Laughing ] Oh!", "Scott: No more snowman outfit?", "Mariah: Nope.", "Scott: [ Sighs ] Things are, uh, a little awkward between us.", "Mariah: Yeah. Maybe that's because you kissed another woman behind my mom's back.", "Scott: Look, I want to reiterate, there's nothing going on with abby.", "Mariah: You're staying away from her?", "Scott: The only interaction we have is work-related, so i hope one day you and I can be cordial to each other again.", "[ Cellphone chimes ]", "Mariah: Oh, my gosh. Hilary agreed, and I managed to convince her that the snowman outfit is off-brand and not appropriate for the new and improved \"hilary hour.\"", "Scott: Congrats. So that means you're not quitting?", "Mariah: No. Sharon was right. I had a knee-jerk reaction. Which is funny because snowmen don't have knees.", "Scott: Ah!", "Mariah: Ah!", "Scott: Hilary's lucky. You are an asset to the show.", "Mariah: You watch?", "Scott: Occasionally. That segment you did last week exposing the restaurant who falsely claimed that their food was locally sourced? That was an impressive story.", "Mariah: I mean, I guess...", "Scott: And if you ever do end up quitting, I might have to snap you up for hashtag.", "Mariah: See, you almost had me going with all the flattery, but then you showed your cards too soon when you offered me a job.", "Scott: I'm not following.", "Mariah: You're trying to buy my silence.", "Scott: No. No. You've got it all wrong. I'm actually -- I just wanted to --", "Sharon: I enter the room, and you stop talking? That's not suspicious. What's the big secret?", "Scott: We may or may not have been talking about christmas gifts.", "Sharon: Oh?", "Mariah: Yeah. Yes, we were. And I have a feeling that there's going to be a lot of them under the tree this year. Expensive, shiny ones.", "Scott: [ Sighs ]", "Abby: Hi, dad. It's me. I just wanted to let you know that the meeting went well, and I will write up a report and have it to you by the end of the day. Also, um, well, I read about you and nikki getting back together. I'm very happy for you. Both of you. I just -- I wish you had told me yourself. Well, I will try calling you back later. I love you. Bye. You know, I am still not interested in becoming fodder for your gossip show.", "Mariah: Are you interested in scott?", "Abby: Scott grainger?", "Mariah: Bingo.", "Abby: He's a jerk.", "Mariah: Well, you two hang out together a lot.", "Abby: Well, if you consider working together \"hanging out,\" which I don'T. Where is this coming from?", "Mariah: My mom is the happiest she's been in a long time, and I intend to keep it that way.", "Abby: And what does that have to do with me?", "Mariah: Well, I've seen the way that you and scott are when you're together. It makes me wonder if something is going on between the two of you.", "Abby: There's not.", "Mariah: Okay. You can't blame me for jumping to conclusions. I mean, you do have a history of being the other woman.", "Abby: You know what, mariah, we've come a long way. I would even consider us friends...ish. But if you keep it up, we'll quickly become enemies. Your choice.", "Victoria: The money you stole from dad, you used to buy the park and deep-six our development.", "Nikki: Honey, please don't be upset. I had to do it. For katherine.", "Victoria: I'm not upset. Much.", "Nikki: And you don't have to worry.", "Victoria: Worry?", "Nikki: About being an accessory because you knew I had stolen the money. I am taking full responsibility for what I did, okay? So I alone will pay for my crime.", "Victoria: Mom, you're not making any sense.", "Nikki: Your father made the charges go away. I just had to agree to move back into the ranch. I know I'm trading one prison for another, but at least I get my normal life back.", "Victoria: I'm so confused right now. Dad was supposed to tell you that J.T. Lied to paul. He submitted a report that said that the anomaly was a banking error.", "Nikki: What? No, no. That's not what happened.", "Victoria: Yeah, it is, mom. I tried to call you to tell you.", "Nikki: Well, I tried to call you, and your father said that you were tied up on a business trip.", "Victoria: He assured me that he was gonna tell you. Okay, well, now it makes sense why he sent me to hong kong on such short notice, so I couldn't tell you that you were off the hook. And he knew that I wouldn't e-mail or text because there would be a paper trail.", "Nikki: What? Oh, my god. He lied so he could blackmail me into moving back in with him. That bastard!", "Nick: So my dad is blackmailing my mom, and for some reason, she is going along with it. And I don't for one second believe she agreed to this unholy alliance just so she can spend more time with the grandchildren. She could have done that without moving back in with him.", "Chelsea: I don't know, maybe your mom's just trying to make the best of a bad situation.", "Nick: Every day that she is there gives dad more opportunities to break down her defenses.", "Chelsea: So you're afraid if nikki forgives victor for all of his past sins, then this arrangement could become a true marriage?", "Nick: Look, I really want my mom to be happy. But we both know happiness with my dad is short-lived. It's just a matter of time before he hurts her again.", "Mariah: What are you doing? We're not done here.", "Abby: Yes, we are.", "J.T.: Sorry to interrupt.", "Abby: J.T.! Hi!", "Mariah: Let me shorthand for you -- cassie's twin, separated at birth, we're nothing alike. And I don't mind playing dirty to protect the ones I love.", "J.T.: Um... what was that about? And cassie had a twin?", "Abby: It's not even worth getting into. What are you doing back in town?", "J.T.: Oh, you don't know?", "Abby: Should I?", "J.T.: Oh, I just thought maybe victoria or victor might have mentioned something.", "Abby: Uh, well, v-squared tend to keep me out of the loop these days.", "J.T.: All right, well, in that case, why don't I buy you a drink and we can play catch-up? Yeah? White wine?", "Abby: Why not?", "J.T.: All right. Scotch and a white whine. Thanks.", "J.T.: Royal castle grounds. D.J. Loved the fountains.", "Sharon: Oh, no! Did he fall in?", "J.T.: Uh, jumped, actually, and then ran to the middle, so guess who had to go in after him?", "Sharon: [ Gasps ] You're all wet!", "J.T.: And becca, she could not get enough of the flowers.", "Sharon: Oh, look at those cheeks! And her cute little dress. Isn't it adorable, abby?", "J.T.: See it?", "Abby: So cute. Yeah.", "J.T.: All right, now I'm gonna put these away before you guys get bored seeing family pictures.", "Sharon: [ Chuckles ]", "J.T.: [ Sighs ] Can you believe I got three kids, scott?", "Scott: No. You settling into family life? Never.", "Scott: Yeah, well, I guess we both changed, huh? Because the scott I knew was a writer.", "Sharon: Oh, he still is! Tell him, scott.", "Scott: Nah, J.T. Doesn't want to hear about all that.", "Sharon: You're too modest. He runs hashtag. It's an online news outlet.", "J.T.: Ah, well, I mean, my, uh, reading's been limited to mostly kids books these days, but...", "Sharon: Well, his story about a sex-trafficking ring is worth checking out.", "Scott: Sharon...", "Sharon: We were all three involved in bringing it down in one way or another, but the worst part of the story was when scott and abby got trapped in a storage unit together by the perpetrator who turned out to be --", "Scott: J.T., You know, you can read it all online, and I'll even send you the link.", "Sharon: Wouldn't be surprised if you win a pulitzer for it.", "Scott: Oh, sharon, you're embarrassing me...", "Sharon: I can't help it.", "J.T.: How long have you guys been dating?", "Sharon: Seven months.", "Scott: A few months.", "Sharon: [ Laughs ]", "Scott: Yeah.", "Sharon: Typical, right? The female can tell you the exact amount of time, but the male, not so much. Am I right, abby?", "Abby: Right. Yeah.", "Scott: We should get to our table before they give it away to someone else.", "J.T.: Well, good seeing you both.", "Scott: Good to see you, too.", "Sharon: You, too. Take care.", "J.T.: All right. Take care. Yep. Well, who would have thought those two would end up together?", "Abby: Not me.", "Victor: How was your day?", "Nikki: Informative.", "Victor: Oh, yeah?", "Nikki: You are and always have been a very sly devil, victor newman.", "Victor: So, in what way was i sly today?", "Nikki: I had a very interesting conversation with victoria.", "Victor: Mm.", "Nikki: And it turns out J.T. Filed his report clearing both of us before you offered me this deal.", "Victor: Ah, did he now?", "Nikki: Oh, cut the act. You knew it, and you used it to your advantage. Now, our pact is suppose to be based on honesty. You've already broken the rules, which is no surprise. But it proves that I still can't trust you.", "Victor: Does that mean you're gonna move out?", "[ Laughter ]", "J.T.: I think I have another one, hold on.", "Abby: Oh, my gosh. [ Laughs ]", "Scott: What do you think's going on between those two?", "Sharon: Nothing. They used to be family, and he's married.", "Scott: Yeah, still. She should proceed with caution. The guy used to have quite a reputation.", "Sharon: After what happened with zack, I doubt that abby will be getting herself into another sticky situation.", "Scott: Good point. From now on, you have my complete and undivided attention. So, what else is on the christmas menu?", "Sharon: Um, here, I have a list somewhere. Let me find it.", "J.T.: It was a short-term job, and now that I'm done, I'm taking off tomorrow.", "Abby: Ah, no wonder my dad and victoria didn't tell me. So, what is it like being back in genoa city?", "J.T.: Ah.", "Abby: Has it changed much?", "J.T.: Well, you know, I've been so busy, I haven't had a chance to check out my old haunts, but... I will say this, one thing has definitely changed.", "Abby: And what's that?", "J.T.: Not what. Who.", "Abby: Me?", "J.T.: Yeah. Yeah.", "Abby: Ah!", "J.T.: You're a high-powered newman executive now, and you wear it very well.", "Abby: Thank you.", "J.T.: Yeah. So, where are all the good spots these days? Mm! Tell me. Tell me that dive bar jimmy's is still around.", "Abby: I wouldn't know. The last time I was there was for one of billy's halloween bashes.", "J.T.: Oh, yeah? You too high-class to slum it these days?", "Abby: No. Too busy. And the top of the tower is very convenient. It's just an elevator ride away from my office.", "J.T.: Yeah, well, then what are you doing here?", "Abby: Slumming it.", "J.T.: Exactly. [ Laughter ] Hey, I don't have any plans tonight, and unless you got to turn in early, why don't we go check out a couple of those places together?", "Abby: Are you asking me out on a date? Hi, I'm mike ditka.", "Abby: You know what, I'm gonna leave before this gets more awkward.", "J.T.: Abby, you misunderstood me.", "Abby: Doubtful.", "J.T.: That's not what i meant.", "Abby: Look, I'm out of here.", "J.T.: No, you -- you just misinterpreted this entire conversation.", "Abby: \"Let's check out some places together?\" It's pretty clear what you meant. I'm not an idiot.", "Sharon: Martha stewart's got nothing on me. [ Giggles ] [ Cellphone chimes ] Oh! Oh, that's faith.", "Scott: Is everything okay?", "Sharon: Yeah, she wants me to pick up some supplies for her art project. Let me just text her back real quick.", "Scott: Sure.", "Abby: Why don't you dust off those skills and get a clue? I am not interested in going out with a married man.", "J.T.: Abby, I don't want to go out with you. I want to hang out with you. There's a big difference.", "Abby: Not to me.", "J.T.: Come on. We have known each other forever. Why wouldn't I want to spend some time with you?", "Abby: Uh, I can think of three reasons off the top of my head. One, you're married to mac. Two, you used to be married to my sister. And, three -- oh, yeah, you were the love of colleen's life. So, no, I'm not interested in going out or hanging out or doing whatever with you. You need to keep an eye on your ex-husband.", "Victoria: What? What did billy do now?", "Abby: Not billy. Your other ex. J.T. Made a pass at me.", "Chelsea: You had a rough day, huh?", "Nick: Does this answer your question?", "Chelsea: Well, maybe you should open an early christmas present. Maybe that will make you feel better.", "Nick: Hey, if it's the biggest one under the tree, let's do it.", "Chelsea: You're looking in the wrong place.", "Nick: That's a hell of a gift. This is exactly what I wanted.", "Chelsea: Ah, ah, ah! Don't you know the rules about opening presents?

I wanted to check out a few places around town. She was....here, drinking alone. I was on my own, and I thought we could have a little fun. Innocent fun. On my last night in town.", "Victoria: You're leaving tomorrow? Did it ever occur to you to skip the clubs and spend some time with your son?", "J.T.: It's a late flight.

I got to move on to the next adventure.", "Victoria: Back to mac and the kids.", "J.T.: Yeah. That's a given.", "Victoria: Is it?", "J.T.: [ Clears throat ] Have you taken johnny and katie to see santa yet?", "Victoria: [ Sighs ] You're avoiding my question.", "J.T.: I'm changing the subject.", "Victoria: Look, if there's a problem, you can tell me. And if it affects reed, you should definitely tell me.", "J.T.: Mac and I separated.", "Victoria: What?", "J.T.: Yep.", "Victoria: I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say.", "J.T.: There's nothing to say.", "Victoria: I just always assumed that things between you and mac were solid.", "J.T.: Me, too. I guess I was wrong.

So she...took the kids and went back to D.C.", "Victoria: Does reed know?", "J.T.: No. This is actually the first time I'm saying it out loud.", "Victoria: Why did you tell me everything was fine?", "J.T.: I don't know, I guess i was...

No, this is empty. I just brought it down for bonnie for her to put in storage.", "Victor: Mm. So this was done for dramatic effect, then.", "Nikki: I was merely being kind and courteous, saving her a trip upstairs, okay?", "Victor: Mm.", "Nikki: You know what i realized while I was unpacking?

Together, we make a formidable couple, don't we?", "J.T.: Well, you have been awfully quiet. I'm beginning to regret opening my big mouth.", "Victoria: No. No. I'm actually glad you did. It's just what do you say when your ex tells you that his marriage is over and he's unemployed?", "J.T.: \"I'm buying the next round?\"", "Victoria: [ Chuckles ] If you feel like sharing, I'm a little bit curious.", "J.T.: How it all went to hell? Yeah, you want me to start with the job or mackenzie?", "Victoria: Mac. I just can't wrap my head around it.", "J.T.: We, uh... we wanted different things. Grew apart. Wasn't anybody's fault. What kills me is not being around my kids. All of them. [ Sighs ] All right, uh, my work here is done. I've, uh, successfully bummed you out, as well as myself. So thanks for listening.

[ "Nick is by Nikki's bedside asking Nate about his mom's status. Nate tells him Nikki's condition is not improving and that her condition is complicated and she needs more tests. Back at Victoria's Billy is excited about the concert. Reed sits listening. Victoria wants to go see her mom but Billy insists she go to the concert. Reed stops her and tells her it's not her fault as Johnny enters the room in his costume. Victoria gets a call from Nick who tells her to come to the hospital. Kyle and Lola are at his house where Jack congratulates Lola on her new job. Kyle and Lola are headed to Lola's family's Christmas party. Kyle is worried he may be overdressed. Jack hints at his special plans for Kerry but only elaborates to an epic surprise for her. Rey and Mia are getting ready for the party and Mia is thrilled she and Rey are in a better place. Mia tells him she invited Sharon and that she wants to become friends with Sharon also. Meanwhile Sharon is dropping off food for Nick and asks for an update. Nick gets upset and near tears telling her Nikki isn't getting better. He is upset at how much Nikki kept to herself and how he wishes she had confided in him. Sharon hugs him and Phyllis rounds the corner. At Dark Horse Arturo has an early present for Abbey and then asks her to attend the Rosales' Christmas party. Abbey thinks the early present is a bribe to get her to attend the party. She doesn't want a repeat of Thanksgiving. Arturo tells her that he wants them to see how strong they are together. He tells Abbey that everyone thinks of him as a screw up and that they can't see how he is with someone like Abbey. Abbey kisses him and agrees to go and then opens the present. Arturo got her an outdoor jacket for camping. Abbey isn't keen on camping and says a vacation should never involve sleeping outside. She is more into glamping than outdoor camping. At Victoria's, Reed insists on going to the hospital instead of the Christmas pageant. At the hospital Phyllis comes forward interrupting Nick and Sharon and asks if something happened to Nikki. Sharon reminds Nick of his strong bond with Nikki and that she knows he is here. Phyllis thanks Sharon for caring and Sharon mentions the importance of putting their issues aside and she then leaves. Nick tells Phyllis he doesn't want her to read anything into Sharon coming to the hospital. Reed arrives and listens to everyone talking about the scum that hit Nikki. Victoria and Reed go in to see Nikki. Reed walks slowly over to Nikki, clearly upset.", "Jack and Kerry are toasting at the club and talking about Christmas. Jack refers to something opposite than ice skating and presents her with tickets to Bora Bora. Kerry admits he was going for unexpected and he succeeded. Kerry is tempted but has concerns about flying off with just the two of them as she has responsibilities. She also feels they are moving at different speeds. She tells him she needs to think about it. Jack assures her no matter the decision he is ok with it. She kisses him and leaves. Kyle and Lola are the first guests to arrive at the party. Kyle asks if he can help with anything and Rey greets him and asks if he knows plumbing. He then admits he was just giving him a hard time. Arturo and Abbey arrive at the party. Mia admires Abbey's camping coat and Abbey says she is always up for an adventure. Mia and Lola tease Abbey about camping. Sharon then arrives with dessert. Mia gushes that she is an angel. Later Mia is pouring Sharon wine and thanking Sharon for being there for Rey and tells her she wants to be friends. Sharon quickly excuses herself to talk to Abbey and updates her on Nikki. Rey and Arturo are teasing Kyle about not hurting Lola. They ask her intentions and Kyle summons Abbey but she is on their side and tells him he better not hurt Lola. Lola interrupts and they all tease they were purposely giving him a hard time. Rey pulls Sharon aside and tells her he is surprised she came. Mia immediately interrupts them. After dinner the couples talk about winter weather and traditions. Mia brings up the time they went skinny dipping because it was so warm. Rey doesn't remember that happening and there is an uncomfortable silence. At the hospital Reed asks to be alone with his grandma. Outside the hospital room Nick is again fuming that they are going to make whoever did this pay. At Jack's house Kerry is at the door with her answer. She would love to go to Bora Bora with him and before he can respond he kisses her. He promises it will be a vacation of a lifetime. She tells him her bags are already packed and she wants to start the vacation tonight and they end up making love upstairs. Arturo and Abbey are back from the party and are downstairs. Arturo is blindfolded waiting for Abbey's surprise. She tells him to take off the blindfold and she is standing in front of him with her new coat on. She partially takes it off, wearing nothing underneath and they also head upstairs to the bedroom. At Crimson Lights, Rey comes downstairs and gives Sharon a Christmas present. She opens up an ornament with a leaf on it. He tells her it is in honor of the road trip they never got to take, looking at the leaves. Rey tells her that even though he is with Mia, he still cares for her. Sharon tells him she feels the same way. Mia is waiting for Rey upon his return and thanks him for making the party a wonderful night. Rey congratulates her on the party and the two fall onto the couch in a heated kiss. Reed is at Nikk's bedside confessing that he was driving the car that hit her. He tells her he didn't realize what he had done until the next day. He tells her he is scared and ashamed and he cannot believe she can die because of him. He tells her he loves her so much and is so sorry. He tells her he is just as bad as JT. In the hallway Nate updates Phyllis, Victoria and Nick and tells them that the tests did not provide any helpful information. Nate tells them to find Victor and to prepare for the worst.", "" ]

They're more complicated. We're dealing with a whole nother set of variables.", "Nick: Because of the M.S.?", "Nate: It's not a factor. But I'm going to repeat her blood chemistries. We're still searching for more subtle reasons for her unconsciousness.", "Nick: My mom's tough. You know that. She's tough enough to get through this.", "Nate: Yes.

So I just sit in there, staring at her face, thinking about everything she's gone through. So much more than she ever let on, and she kept it all to herself. I just wish she had come to me, you know?

But with her complicated injuries, she just has a lot working against her.", "Sharon: But she's not fighting alone. There's not a guy I know who shares a stronger bond with his mother.

No matter what they want to do or say.", "Abby: It doesn't matter what they think.", "Arturo: It's not supposed to, but let's be real -- it does. Mine labeled me family screw-up a long time ago. And no matter what I do, or what I accomplish, that's just how Rey thinks of me. And when Rey says that he has no idea what someone like you sees in someone like me, he's not joking.

Okay.", "[ Laughs ]", "Arturo: Wow!", "Abby: Oooh! Perfect fit. I love it.", "Arturo: Full disclosure -- Lola helped me pick it. Only requirements were high fashion, and warm enough to wear when I take you camping.", "Abby: Camping?", "Arturo: Yeah. In the spring. I-I -- we can't have hypothermia ruining our vacation.", "Abby: No, a vacation should never involve sleeping outside, possible bear attacks, and no room service.", "Arturo: Relax, okay? [ Abby chuckles ] It'll be more glamping than camping.", "Abby: Okay. Well... I'm liking the sound of that.", "Arturo: I knew you would. Which is why I bought a camper shell for my truck. Like that, we can sleep inside.", "Abby: I'm not sure you understand the concept of glamping.", "Arturo: I do.", "Abby: No.", "Arturo: Yeah, I do.", "Abby: [ Laughs ] Come here.", "Kerry: Delectable dinner.

I'm very cautious about this kind of thing, Jack. I'm not used to men --", "Jack: Surprising you? Making you feel as special as you should feel?", "Kerry: It's a lovely idea.

Sounds about right. Yeah, Rey and I, we came up with this plan to lure him up to the school roof, and we were each gonna grab, you know, a leg, and dangle him over the edge.", "Rey: Yeah. Until he promised to treat Lola like the little treasure that she is.", "Kyle: And how'd that work out?", "Arturo: Oh, we didn't actually do it.", "Rey: No, no. We were just...talking.", "Arturo: Mm-hmm.", "Rey: Like we are now.", "Kyle: Heh... guys, I-I really appreciate what you're doing here. [ Inhales sharply ] But you don't need to. I like Lola. A lot. I care about her. And respect her hugely.", "Arturo: Good to know.", "Rey: So what are your intentions?", "Kyle: Intentions?", "Arturo: Yeah, with our baby sister.", "Kyle: Uh, abby! So good that you're here.", "Abby: What's going on with my cousin?", "Kyle: Uh, they have some really big concerns about me dating Lola.", "Abby: Good. So do I. If you don't treat her the way she deserves, you'll be answering to these guys -- and to me.", "Kyle: Abby...! Heh...", "Abby: I'm serious, kyle. Lola is not only a close friend, but she's also going to be my head chef, so I don't need her to have any man troubles from the likes of you distracting her from creating stellar menus for me.", "Kyle: That's not selfish at all.", "Arturo: Hey, watch your tone with my girlfriend, man.", "Kyle: [ Stammers ]", "Lola: All right. The messing-with-kyle portion of the evening is now over.", "[ Laughter ]", "Abby: And he was an insanely good sport about it.", "Kyle: Ha, ha, ha. I knew you guys were having me on. So obvious. Uh... [ Sighs ] Will this be happening every holiday from now on?", "Lola: Beats me. No guy of mine has ever lasted this long.", "Kyle: [ Chuckles ]", "Mia: Okay, everyone. Food's almost up. And Lola's refreshing drinks.", "Lola: Oh, news to me.", "[ Sighs ]", "Rey: I found out last minute that you were invited. I didn't know if you'd come.", "Sharon: Yeah. I wasn't sure, either. But, um... it's a good distraction. I've been in the icu visiting nikki.", "Rey: Mm. How is she?", "Sharon: She's still unconscious.", "Mia: Remember, baby... this is a party. No work talk.", "Billy: You nailed it, buddy! You were the best thing about that Christmas pageant. You were so good. I'm so proud of you. And we got so many pictures and so many videos to show mommy. And you know that she really wanted to be there, right? She's with grandma.", "Johnny: Is grandma gonna be home for Christmas?", "Billy: That's the plan, buddy. That's what we're all hoping for. How 'bout we eat that gingerbread cookie now? Let's get it. You want an arm? Take an arm.", "Victoria: You've always been our emotional core through every crisis and every disaster that this family's ever been through. You never even asked for anything in return. This year has been... very difficult. I just want to thank you for being there for me. You saved my life. I'm sorry. I guess I should have paid more attention to the price you paid for taking on all of our family's problems. I'm so sorry, mom.", "[ Sighs ] [ Door opens ] Honey?", "Reed: [ Breathing hard ]", "Victoria: You okay? I know this is a lot to deal with right now. Do you want to go get some air?", "Reed: [ Gasps ] Um... could I have a minute alone with grandma?", "Victoria: Yeah, of course. Yeah. Take your time.", "Reed: This is all my fault.", "Kyle: That meal tasted like home-cooked perfection.", "Mia: Oh! [ Laughs ]", "Kyle: Are you sure it was delivery?", "Mia: I normally wouldn't brag about something like that, but...yeah.", "[ Laughs ]", "Sharon: Well, these cookies, though, they have a real homemade touch.", "Mia: Those, I made. Okay? These are the one edible achievement I have. [ Laughs ] Been a Christmas tradition since I met the wild and wonderful Rosales family.", "Abby: Most of our traditions here revolve around snow -- snowmen, sleigh rides, toboggans.", "Kyle: Yeah. What's it like growing up with no winter weather?", "Lola: Well, I guess one of our traditions was, after midnight mass, we would all go to the beach.", "Arturo: Yeah. Rey would build a bonfire. We'd stay up all night. The best year was when we invited mom's favorite singer, and he showed up and sang one of his hits a cappella.", "Lola: She was so excited she started crying. She said it was a Christmas miracle.", "Mia: Mm-hmm.", "Kyle: I bet. Hey, how'd you manage that?", "Rey: Well, I was a patrol cop back then. Pulled him over for speeding.", "Abby: You gave him a ticket? Your mom's favorite singer?", "Rey: No, I gave him a warning. Yes, I knew who he was, but that it.", "Mia: [ Chuckles ]", "Sharon: Uh-huh.", "Rey: I'm serious! He wy Sharon: So you asked him to serenade your mom. I mean... not directly, but...", "[ Chuckles ]", "Mia: I remember that. That night was so warm, we all went skinny-dipping.", "[ Laughter ]", "Arturo: That's right!", "Lola: Yeah, some of you did. But Mom and I did not.", "Rey: Yeah, neither did I. The singer had one too many. I had to drive him home.", "Mia: Well, who can remember all the details, right?", "[ Chuckles ]", "Abby: Um, you know what? We should probably get going. I have an early morning.", "Mia: Oh, okay.", "Arturo: Yeah, let's do that.", "Sharon: Um, you know, I'll walk out with you. Thank you so much.", "Abby: Thank you for hosting.", "Sharon: It was...great.", "Mia: [ Chuckles ] Any time.", "Victoria: Reed is taking this so hard.", "Phyllis: Of course he is, poor kid.", "Nick: He may lose his grandmother. And he's got to be reeling from the news that his dad was murdered. And no one can give him any answers.", "Phyllis: Hell of a way to spend Christmas break.", "Nick: It's all the more reason to find out who did this to Mom, and to make them pay.", "Jack: [ Sighs ]", "[ Doorbell rings ]", "Kerry: I've thought about your offer, and I have an answer. I would love to go to Bora Bora with you.", "Jack: That is just -- I promise you, this is going to be the vacation of a lifetime.", "Kerry: My bags are already packed. They're outside. I don't see why we can't start this vacation tonight.", "Kerry: [ Gasps ]", "Jack: [ Sighs ]", "[ Chuckles ]", "Arturo: So, do I need to stand here till it's actually Christmas?", "Abby: Blindfold on, mouth shut. Unless you don't want one of your presents early.", "Arturo: I do. But, you know, that coat's gonna be a hard gift to beat. I mean, you are literally going to be the envy of every camper, bobcat, grizzly bear, bunny rabbit --", "Abby: I think I will.", "Arturo: Heh...", "Abby: Blindfold off. Luckily, we don't have to worry about hypothermia... yet.", "[ Giggles ]", "Arturo: You, um... you -- you have a bedroom upstairs, right?", "Abby: Mm-hmm.", "Arturo: 'Cause I'm -- I'm having some trouble making my brain work.", "Abby: Don't worry. I'll guide you.", "[ Calculator whirring ]", "Rey: Good. You're still here. I can give you your Christmas present.", "Sharon: Oh, you didn't have to do that.", "Rey: Well, I was gonna give it to you at the station, but now seemed like a better time.", "Rey: [ Snorts softly ]", "Sharon: So pretty. Ah...", "Rey: It's in honor of that road trip we never got to take.", "Sharon: I know. But...", "Rey: It's just my way of saying that, even though I'm with Mia... you're still important to me.", "Sharon: Thank you. You're still -- I mean... I feel the same way. Um...", "Rey: Here. Here, let me.", "Sharon: I have to, um, close up the register and lock up these receipts.", "Rey: Yeah. I should, uh...", "Sharon: I'll see you at work.", "Rey: Yeah. Yeah.", "Mia: [ Sighs ]", "[ Door opens ] [ Sighs ] Thank you so much for taking the trash out, Honey. And for making tonight a wonderful night. There were a few dicey moments.", "Rey: Yeah. It's, uh, unavoidable when you get us all together.", "Mia: Think so?", "Rey: I think you should congratulate yourself on a very good night.", "[ Sighs ]", "Mia: Thanks, baby. You know... there's one way to improve it.", "[ Rey groaning ]", "Reed: I'm the reason that you're hooked up to all these machines, fighting for your life. I was driving the car that hit you. I didn't know. Not at the time. I promise. I... I didn't realize what I had done until the next day. I know I should just come out and admit it, but... I'm scared. [ Sighs ] And ashamed, and... I can't believe that you could die because of me. [ Sobs ] I love you so much, grandma. And I'm so, so sorry. [ Crying ] If you can hear me, I know what you're thinking. And it's true. [ Sighs ] This makes me just as bad as my father.", "Nate: [ Sighs ] The test didn't furnish us with any helpful information.", "Victoria: What does that mean?", "Nick: What are you going to do for my mother? Because if you or your staff can't come up with any answers, then I will find someone who can.", "Nate: There's no time for that. And I promise you, no one is going to tell you anything different. We have done all we can. Now you need to find your father and get him here.", "Phyllis: What are you saying?", "Nate: I'm saying that I think you all need to prepare for the worst." ]

[ "A Christmas Card arrived for Gloria with a local address. She said it was from her youngest son and told everyone what had happened when they'd surprised her older son with decorations. Jack abruptly left and went to buy the men a present. He ran into Lauren and she told him about Michael's negative attitude towards the holidays. Jack said Gloria's sons were the same and that he was headed over to convince them to come to Christmas Dinner. Lauren phoned Michael and warned him. Kevin wanted to reveal themselves to Jack, but Michael refused. When Jack showed up, Michael wouldn't open the door and insisted he go away (using a fake voice). Ash freaked when she couldn't find the family heirloom ornaments. Gloria rushed to Michael's, ran into Jack, thanked him for trying but sent him away, chastised Kevin, then demanded the ornaments back to appease Ash. Michael warned she was getting in deeper every day. Back at the Abbott home, Gloria played hero by 'finding' the missing ornaments. Neil worried about how Devon would spend his holiday cash, but Dru insisted they trust him to be responsible. Andre, a former friend of Devon's, begged Devon to buy him new shoes with the money, since he'd get no other gift. When Lily later asked Devon if his friend would have a good Christmas, Devon rushed out. Bobby demanded to know what was going on with Nikki (and how it involved him), after she offered $100,000.00 for the club. Nikki cried, refused to answer his questions, and ran out. Victor surprised Nikki with a white mink coat like the one he'd given her years before, and said he wanted to spend every Christmas with her forever." ]

[ "Bobby: I don't think I heard you right.", "Nikki: I think you did.", "Bobby: You wanna buy Marilyn's? Why?", "Nikki: Is it for sale or isn't it?", "Bobby: You know, Nikki, you were very clear from the get-go that you didn't wanna put one dime into the place. Now you wanna own it? What's going on? Some big real estate deal going down I don't know about?", "Nikki: Yeah, that's it. How did you know that? The fact is things are changing in my life. I didn't think it was a good idea before, but I do now.", "Bobby: Does this have anything to do with what's been bothering you?", "Nikki: Look, its Christmas. I'm getting into the spirit.", "Bobby: Nikki, I'm not a charity case. Be it would be an investment. Just think of it as my Christmas gift to myself.", "Bobby: Okay, so why would you wanna invest in a nightclub that's in the red?", "Nikki: Need I remind you that that's where victor and i first met? It has great sentimental value.", "Bobby: That was the Bayou.", "Nikki: Same building, same stage.", "Bobby: I'm not buying it. What's the real reason you wanna do this?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dru: This one's for Aunt Mamie, and she'll pick it up when she comes back from her trip, all right?", "Neil: Okay, yeah.", "Dru: This one's for Olivia.", "Neil: Keep them coming.", "Dru: Okay, and this one's from you-- it's from you to Malcolm.", "Neil: Yeah, yeah, you know, I was shopping the other day and I saw something I thought he might like, but since he's already left town, I guess I'll, uh, keep it for myself.", "Dru: This one's for Devon. He's gonna love these sneakers, honey, that you got him.", "Neil: Well, he ought to. They cost a million dollars.", "Dru: Right, so it's an extra bit of cash, but you know how much he loves basketball, and he's probably never had a pair of designer sneakers.", "Neil: Yeah, he'll be thrilled. Honey, he was practically drooling over them at the sporting goods store. You know, I just want Devon to feel like he's really part of the family.", "Dru: Yeah.", "Neil: Know what he told me?", "Dru: What?", "Neil: Some of his foster families would give him hand-me-downs for Christmas-- one of those little things the cut deep.", "Dru: Yeah, well, it's all about finding the balance, right? I don't want him to get the wrong idea. I don't want him to think that Christmas is about spending a lot of money and getting a lot of gifts.", "Neil: Yeah, I don't think we have to worry about that, baby. Devon knows what's important in this family. You can't put that under a tree.", "Dru: No, you can't.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: Man, I am so glad that I found something for my dad because he is impossible to shop for. I hope my Uncle Malcolm likes what I got him. If not, I guess he can just take it back, right?", "Devon: Mm-hmm.", "Lily: And remember, do not tell my dad that Malcolm is still in town because it's a surprise.", "Devon: Okay.", "Lily: So why didn't you get anything? That last store had some great stuff.", "Devon: I--I didn't see anything that I liked, Lily. There was nothing there.", "Lily: Oh, really? Well, we have been shopping quite a few times, and I haven't seen you buy one present. Have you been to the mall again without me? Okay, you know what? Don't tell me, okay? 'Cause I will find out soon enough.", "Devon: All right, you know what? I think I'm gonna get some coffee, okay? Would you like anything?", "Lily: Yeah, I'll have a mocha with whipped cream.", "Devon: Whipped cream? Okay, I'll be right back.", "Lily: Okay.", "Devon: Hey, can I get two mochas with whipped cream? Thanks.", "Boy: Hey, Devon. Man, I ain't seen you around in months.", "Devon: Hey, André, what's up, man? What are you doing?", "Andre: Not much. You know, group home's boring as ever, but you don't care about that, right? I hear you living large these days. So tell me about it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Brad: Hey, everybody. Come on, honey.", "Abby: Mommy!", "Ashley: Oh, hey, merry Christmas! My favorite little snowflake, give me a hug. Oh, you're more like an icicle. You're freezing.", "Abby: It's cold outside.", "Ashley: Ooh, we gotta warm you up.", "John: Well, you know, I think we just might be able to fix that.", "Abby: Do you have some hot chocolate?", "John: Do I have some chocolate? Yes, I think she knew that we were waiting for her, huh?", "Gloria: My little chocolate monster. Come on.", "John: Come on, come on. Oh, you're getting big. Oh, my goodness, I need three hands to hold you.", "Ashley: Thanks for bringing her.", "Brad: Decorating the tree? Abby wouldn't miss it.", "Ashley: Yeah, well, I hope you're gonna stay awhile.", "Brad: I was planning on it, just as I was planning on us all having a wonderful Christmas together.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: I'm addicted to these things.", "Michael: You're addicted to a lot of things.", "Kevin: Yeah, like Christmas.", "Michael: I may have to check into a hotel, preferably one that's not decorated like a bordello frequented by elves.", "Kevin: What, you don't like Mom's taste?? I think it looks great in here.", "Michael: Taste... look, you promise at the stroke of midnight on December 26th, all this goes down the hallway to the incinerator. Look, don't look at me that way. We have a deal.", "Kevin: I had my fingers crossed behind my back. Come on, Michael, don't be such a wet blanket. Remember what Lauren said, about letting other people enjoy the holidays?", "Michael: I'd prefer not to talk about Lauren now, okay?", "Kevin: Have you heard from her?", "Michael: No.", "Kevin: Well, did you call her?", "Michael: Look, why are you eating in the living room? You know the rules.", "Kevin: They're just walnuts.", "Michael: Yeah, well, first it's walnuts, next it's spaghetti, pretty soon that chair smells like the sofa in your old apartment.", "Kevin: You're just mad because you ticked off Lauren and now she isn't speaking to you, am I right?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: If you really wanna know, I started working at Marilyn's on a lark. I had no idea it was gonna bring a whole new dimension into my life. It rekindled something that I thought was gone forever.", "Bobby: You do understand that owning your own club is a real pain in the neck?", "Nikki: Well, I think it'll be exciting. It'll be a challenge. Here, have some cider. I'll take care of the existing debt, and you will continue to run the club.", "Bobby: Oh, this is good. All right, big shot, what's your offer to buy me out?", "Nikki: I'll pay you $100,000. Do we have a deal?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "John: Bravo, bravo.", "Gloria: Abby, yeah.", "Jack: Hey, hey, you started the party without me?", "Ashley: There's still plenty for you to do.", "Abby: We have all the green ornaments for you to put on.", "Jack: Because you knew they were my favorites, right?", "John: Well, I see you got the mail, Jackie?", "Jack: Yeah, bumped into the mailman on the way in.", "Brad: Imagine he's pretty loaded down today.", "Jack: Boy, is he. Oh, look at this. Gloria, there's one for you. It looks like a Christmas card.", "Gloria: Really? Must be from one of my friends. Probably Loretta from Detroit.", "Jack: No, actually, this is local. No name, but a return address. Who do you know at 250 Market, number 632?", "Gloria: It's from one of my sons.", "John: Really? I wonder which one.", "Gloria: Uh... oh, Steven.", "John: The younger one?", "Gloria: Uh-huh. Oh, I'll look at it later.", "Ashley: Isn't that where you were last night, visiting your boys?", "Gloria: Yeah, that's right.", "Ashley: There was some kind of a problem, right? Well, Dad said you phoned. I know it was pretty late.", "Gloria: It's a long story. My older son Ben hates Christmas-- always has, always will.", "Abby: How could anybody hate Christmas?", "Gloria: Well, I have no idea, baby, but that's how he is. So Steven and I, well, we decided to see if we could change his mind, and so we got the apartment all decorated. It looked fantastic. We were so excited, and then Ben came home and pitched a fit, told us to take it all down.", "Brad: Did you?", "Gloria: No, no, no, no, I refused, so Ben's pretty mad. I don't know what he's gonna make his brother do. So when I left there this morning, things were pretty tense. I wouldn't count on either one of them for Christmas.", "John: Well, that's just too bad. You know, I was hoping that we could have all of the family together this Christmas.", "Gloria: Well, I know. I was hoping that, too. It's the main reason that I went over there in the first place, to see if I could try to convince them to come over here and celebrate, but as I told you when I called last night, it's just not gonna happen.", "Jack: You know what? I gotta run out again. I still haven't finished with my Christmas shopping.", "Ashley: You know all my sizes, right, Jackie?", "Jack: Yeah, right.", "Gloria: Well...", "Brad: What have you got there, honey? Let me see that. Oh, that's a good one.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: Hit the nail on the head, didn't I, Mikey?", "Michael: All right, I am upset that Lauren saw fit to walk out on me this morning. Happy? I suppose you think I owe her an apology.", "Kevin: Well, you certainly owe Mom one. You were so rude to her. All of the sudden, it was like you were the nutcase and I was the sane one in the family.", "Michael: I just can't get into this, all right? All this frou-frou for what's supposedly a religious holiday. What does this crap have to do with the birth of Jesus? It's utter nonsense.", "Kevin: That isn't what bugs you about it, though, is it?", "Kevin: I just wish...", "Michael: What do you wish?", "Kevin: We had it so rotten growing up, you know? We never had a nice tree, stockings, nothing, none of the little things that kids look forward to, not even a lump of coal as a joke.", "Michael: You think all this could ever make up for that?", "Kevin: I've spent so many years being mad at the world, Mikey. Where'd it get me?", "Kevin: You're always telling me that I need to turn over a new leaf, get my life together. I'm finally doing it, you know? I'm trying to fit in, get a little joy out of something that other people actually approve of. And you know what? It's working. I'm changing, I can feel it. I don't know, I walk in here and I look at that tree, and I don't know, I smile. I can't help but feel a little glow inside. Why do you hate that?", "Michael: I don't hate that. I mean, truly, Kevin, I'm happy for you.", "Kevin: Why can't you be happy with me?", "Michael: Tell you the truth, I don't know. Just can't get into it.", "Kevin: Did you ever try?", "Michael: I don't know what to say to you.", "Kevin: But you would, like, if you could figure it out? I mean, get into it?", "Michael: Clean up the shells when you're finished, all right?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dru: I can't wait to see Devon's face, honey, when he sees his gift under the tree.", "Neil: I just hope we're not sending him the wrong message, you know, by giving him such an expensive gift right after he ditched that class.", "Dru: Are you afraid he might think that we're rewarding him for bad behavior?", "Neil: I don't know. Aren't we?", "Dru: No, honey, I think he's learned his lesson. Come on.", "Neil: Yeah, I guess so.", "Dru: Honey, cut him some slack, okay? He's not used to getting this kind of attention, much less attention on his education. The good news is that he's buckling down, sweetheart. He's getting really good grades.", "Neil: Yeah, yeah, but is he only doing it because of us? You know, it won't be long now, he'll be on his own. We won't be hovering over him, telling him what to do.", "Dru: But all the more reason to get him fired up about his education, help him focus on a subject that's he really enthusiastic about.", "Neil: Right, right, show him how far he could go with it, huh?", "Dru: Yeah, it could be his new year's resolution. What do you think?", "Neil: I think if anyone can help him do that, Dru, it's you, baby.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Devon: So what do you wanna know?", "Andre: Well, I heard you living in one of those swank high-rises downtown.", "Devon: Yeah, that's right. You heard right. It's nice, too.", "Andre: I'll bet. Hope you're working your new foster parents for everything you can, 'cause we both know that ride won't last long.", "Devon: Well, you know what, André? So far everything has been real cool being there. I think--I think I'm gonna stay for awhile.", "Andre: Yeah?", "Devon: Yeah.", "Andre: 'Cause rich folks are just dying to take in people like us, huh? Man, please. Everyone's taking bets on how soon you'll be back.", "Devon: Oh, really? Well, I--I don't know. I don't know. These people I'm with, they're definitely different. I mean, they're treating me like family. Check this out here. Look. Get this.", "Andre: Whoa. They gave you all that cash?", "Devon: Yeah, they did, to buy Christmas presents with.", "Andre: Sweet. So why ain't you spent any of it yet?", "Devon: 'Cause this Christmas shopping stuff really ain't my thing.", "Andre: Well, maybe you not shopping for the right person.", "Devon: What are you talking about not shopping for the right person?", "Andre: Listen to this. I was at the mall this morning, right?", "Devon: Yeah.", "Andre: They got in some of those fancy high-tops we was admiring, prices going down on them, too-- only a hundred bucks a pair.", "Devon: Really? Only a hundred bucks?", "Andre: Yeah, you got the bread, so stop tripping. Why don't you take that wad of cash and spend it on yourself... and your good friend André, of course?", "Devon: I don't know, André. I don't know.", "Andre: Come on, man, share the wealth a little. You think I'm gonna get jack this year at the group home? Look, man, I got some places I gotta be, so I'll tell you what-- meet me at the mall in, let's say, an hour right where we used to hang out.", "Devon: All right.", "Andre: All right, cool?", "Devon: Yeah.", "Andre: All right.", "Devon: See ya.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Bobby: $100,000, huh? What are you smoking?", "Nikki: It's a fair price.", "Bobby: Nikki, you've seen the books. You know I don't own the building. It's just the lease and the name. Let me tell you something, the sign cost more than the name.", "Nikki: A lot of business go through rough patches.", "Bobby: Nikki, you're much too savvy a businesswoman for me to believe that you think this is a good investment. You're throwing money at me because you feel sorry for me, and I take offense to that.", "Nikki: But please don't. That's not my intention.", "Bobby: Okay, I'm gonna handle my own problems my own way like I always have.", "Nikki: I know, and I think it's a travesty that you've never had anybody to go to for help in your life.", "Bobby: Well, that's how life is when your last name isn't Newman.", "Nikki: Believe me, I know that firsthand, but it doesn't have to be that way.", "Bobby: Okay, Nikki, why are you doing all this? I haven't known you that long, but you keep going above and beyond for me. You invited Brittany and me into your home, you're offering to pay for the repairs on my condo and now this, and every time I ask you why, you change the subject.", "Nikki: Why do you have to be so stubborn? Why can't you just accept my generosity without all these questions?", "Bobby: Okay, let's get real here for a second. Nobody throws around large sums of money for no reason. Even my old partners, those wise guys, they expected something in return, but not you. You keep throwing all this at me like you owe me something.", "Nikki: I don't wanna talk about this anymore.", "Bobby: No, no, no, no. You're involving me in something here, and I wanna know what it is. Nikki, what is causing you so much pain?", "Nikki: Who says I'm in pain?", "Bobby: It's written all over your face. Now does this or does this not have something to do with me?", "Nikki: All right, just stop it. Stop asking all these questions. It's Christmas. I don't wanna talk about anything unpleasant.", "Bobby: I don't care its Christmas. I wanna know.", "Nikki: I can't talk about this now.", "Bobby: No, no, Nikki, don't do this.", "Nikki: No!", "Bobby: I wanna talk about this.", "Nikki: Well, my goodness, you're giving Santa a run for his money.", "Victor: I certainly am. Come here, sweetheart.", "Nikki: Now don't tell me you did all this shopping by yourself.", "Victor: You don't think I could?", "Nikki: No.", "Victor: I love being out in the trenches. And guess who I saw working at Lauren's boutique.", "Nikki: Who?", "Victor: Brittany. Evidentially, she's working there to help out her husband.", "Nikki: Well, good for her.", "Victor: I gave her some money so that she could buy him a present.", "Nikki: You did?", "Victor: Yeah.", "Nikki: Well, that was very sweet. Why would you do that?", "Victor: Because it's Christmastime.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Abby: The wise man!", "Ashley: Yeah.", "Brad: You like that one, huh?", "Abby: He's so cute.", "Gloria: Wanna hang him on the tree, sweetie?", "Abby: Okay. I wanna put it real up high, Daddy.", "Brad: Real up high? Okay, I think I'm just the Daddy for the job. Come on.", "Ashley: You guys, don't forget. We have to save room for the heirloom ornaments, okay? I don't think we've opened that box yet. Where'd it go?", "Brad: I haven't seen them.", "Ashley: It's gotta be here somewhere.", "Gloria: What? What is it you're missing, Ashley?", "Ashley: Oh, a box of family ornaments-- very special. I brought the box down myself. I was showing Abby just the other day.", "Abby: Yeah, I even saw your first Christmas ornament.", "Ashley: That's right, when I was a little, tiny, teeny baby.", "Abby: It was really neat.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: She found these gorgeous ornaments-- I don't even know where. She's trying to do something for you that she was never able to do before, something she wanted so bad for us when we were kids, something that she dreamed about, and you spit in her face.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Ashley: Well, I thought so. Where did it go? That is so strange. I don't understand this.", "Brad: Well, I'm sure they'll turn up.", "Ashley: Well, they'd better. They're irreplaceable.", "Brad: Oh, you know what? Maybe they're wedged behind the tree.", "Abby: I don't see them anywhere.", "Ashley: Well, let's look. Gloria, would you help us look, please?", "Gloria: No, they're not here.", "Ashley: What do you mean they're not here? How do you know?", "Gloria: I mean, all the boxes, they're right here, and you can see there aren't any more.", "Ashley: Yeah, I know. That's what's upsetting me.", "Gloria: Look, you know what? I almost forgot. I promised to pick up a prescription for your dad. Does anyone need anything from the drug store?", "Ashley: No.", "Gloria: No, nothing. Okay, well, I will be right back in just a jiff, okay? Bye, honey.", "Abby: Daddy?", "Brad: I'll be right back, honey. One second. You'll never get used to that woman being in the family, will you?", "Ashley: That's putting it politely. Nothing. Maybe somebody accidentally put them in the dining room. Keep looking.", "Brad: Oh, honey, look at this one. Come here. Sit down here. This is great. It's cute, huh? It's a rocking horse.", "Abby: Yeah.", "Brad: A teddy bear. Let's see.", "Abby: Maybe we can put it on.", "Brad: We will, but you gotta pull on that.", "Ashley: They're not in there.", "Brad: I'm sure it'll turn up, Ash. Oh, look how pretty that is.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Woman: There you go.", "Jack: Thank you. And happy holidays.", "Lauren: Oh, it is you.", "Jack: Well, hello there, beautiful. Merry Christmas.", "Lauren: Merry Christmas to you, too. I thought, \"If that isn't Jack Abbott, that's got to be the most handsome stranger I've ever seen.\"", "Jack: Oh, my gosh. Your patter's almost as good as mine.", "Lauren: Well, I kind of have to hone my skills these days 'cause I may be back on the market.", "Jack: Ooh, sounds like man trouble.", "Lauren: Uh, yeah. I've been seeing Michael.", "Jack: Baldwin? My condolences.", "Lauren: And normally I would smack you for that.", "Jack: So what has the shyster done to put a frown on your face?", "Lauren: He's a scrooge. He doesn't like the holidays. Can you believe that?", "Jack: Really?", "Lauren: Yeah. I mean, we had this big blowup this morning about it, and I don't know, this is my favorite time of year. I don't like his attitude.", "Jack: Funny you should say that.", "Lauren: Oh?", "Jack: Yeah, my dad's new wife Gloria is dealing with the same situation with one of her sons.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Quite a coincidence, don't you think?", "Lauren: No, no. I think there are lots of people that can take or leave the holidays.", "Jack: Well, it's bugging my dad that Gloria's kids will not make it out tomorrow. Anyway, I'm on my way there to try to hunt them down.", "Lauren: You are?", "Jack: Yeah, I got the address off of a note the younger one wrote his mother. Think his name's Steven. Anyway, it's the older one that's the scrooge. Thinking maybe I can get them to come out to the house for a little while. You know, have some eggnog with the Abbotts. Anyway, I bought a couple of ornaments to offer as a peace offering.", "Lauren: Well, that's very thoughtful.", "Jack: Yeah, well, anyway, merry Christmas.", "Lauren: To you as well.", "Jack: And if Baldwin continues to give you grief, tell him to stick some holly where the sun don't shine.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Cell phone rings) (Ring) (Ring)", "Kevin: Yo, Michael, it's Lauren. (Ring)", "Michael: Oh, oh, give it. (Ring)", "Michael: Lauren?", "Lauren: Michael--", "Michael: It's so good to hear your voice. Look, about this morning, I am so--", "Lauren: No, listen. We have a situation. I'm at the boutique, and Jack Abbott just left.", "Michael: Jack Abbott? Chitchatting about what? What are you telling me? He's on his way over now? You're sure.", "Kevin: What is it?", "Michael: Quiet! I'm sorry. No, no, no, I'm sorry, Lauren. I was talking to Kevin. Look, thanks for the heads-up. I'll call you later. You idiot. How could you be so stupid?", "Kevin: What did I do?", "Michael: All right, uh... I've got to cover my name on the mailbox. Look, if the doorbell rings, for God sakes, don't answer it. Idiot! I can't believe you could be so moronic.", "Kevin: What did I-- what did I-- what...", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Well, you're not the only one in the Christmas spirit. I bought a little gift for Bobby to give Brittany. He refused to accept it.", "Victor: Well, they're two very strong and very determined people, and that attitude bodes well for them. They'll be on their feet soon.", "Nikki: Oh, it's not just about the gift. He won't let me help him with anything.", "Victor: Sweetheart, you've got to stop worrying about Bobby Marsino.", "Nikki: His life would have been completely different if I hadn't...", "Victor: But don't you understand the guilt that you carry with you because of his brother's early death is totally inappropriate now?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Okay, let's just hope he doesn't talk to the doorman and start asking a lot of questions like, if there's a guy named Fisher up here and stuff like that.", "Kevin: Yeah, well, there is.", "Michael: Look, it's probably too late for us to get out of here, so if Jack actually comes knocking, we're gonna have to just pretend that we're not here, okay?", "Kevin: Be my guest.", "Michael: No, we, Kevin, the both of us.", "Kevin: This is so dumb, Michael. The Abbotts are gonna find out who we are eventually. Why not today? They'll get over it.", "Michael: What, do I have to tie you up and gag you? No.", "Kevin: If Jack knocks on the door, I say we open it up, offer the guy a beer, you know, be nice to him.", "Michael: Kevin, understand, Jack Abbott is never gonna be nice to you ever.", "Kevin: Says you. (Doorbell rings)", "Michael: All right, not one word, do you understand me?", "Kevin: Can you speak up? I can barely hear you.", "Jack: Hello? Hello? I can hear your voices. I know you're in there.", "Jack: Hello? Please open up. I'm not gonna leave until you talk to me.", "Michael: Who is it?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: I'm Jack abbott.", "Michael: I don't know any Jack Abbott. Go away.", "Jack: I know you, though. You're Ben Fisher and your mother Gloria is married to my father. That makes us stepbrothers.", "Michael: So what?", "Jack: So what? So it's Christmas. I know that isn't exactly your thing, but I was hoping I could talk you guys into coming over tomorrow to spend part of the holidays with the Abbotts.", "Jack: Come on. I'm getting tired of talking through the door.", "Michael: Then take a hint.", "Jack: You don't wanna see your mother on Christmas day?", "Michael: I already saw her, so go on. I'm busy.", "Gloria: Jack, what are you doing here?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: You think maybe we should have gone shopping with them, guided Devon a little?", "Dru: No, no, he needs to exercise his independence. He needs to learn how to manage that money. Why else did we give him the $200? He needs to learn how to be responsible.", "Neil: I'm gonna call Lily's cell.", "Dru: Honey, don't do that. Don't do that.", "Neil: No, no, no, just to check in. I wanna see how things are going.", "Dru: No, sweetie. They'll think you're policing them. Don't.", "Neil: Yeah, well, I...", "Dru: Please?", "Neil: All right, you're right. I'm sure that Devon can figure things out for himself.", "Dru: Yeah. Worst-case scenario, we'll be opening up some pretty funky presents. The main thing is that he understands what this holiday season is all about, honey. You know, those feelings we get right here...", "Neil: Mm-hmm.", "Dru: Not about the gifts that we give or get.", "Neil: Well, being around you, how could he not realize that? Happy holidays, baby.", "Dru: Yeah.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: So who was that guy you were talking to?", "Devon: Oh, that was just somebody I knew from the group home.", "Lily: Really? You should have introduced me.", "Devon: Well, I don't think you two would have had that much in common, Lily.", "Lily: And why is that, because I'm a spoiled little rich girl?", "Devon: It's not that. It's when you live in a group home, Lily, Christmastime isn't exactly the best time of year, okay? Everybody else is having a great time with their families, and there you are in there with nobody. And then you gotta slap a smile on your face when some do-gooders drop by with a bunch of junk that some store donated because nobody else wanted to buy it.", "Lily: Look, Devon, I am really sorry that you had to go through that.", "Devon: Well, everything's different now, all right? I'm with you guys.", "Lily: Yes, this is true. So is your friend living with a foster family, too?", "Devon: You know what, Lily? I gotta go.", "Lily: Where?", "Devon: I just got some stuff I gotta do, all right? I'll see you later.", "Lily: Oh, okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Gloria: Why are you here at my son's place?", "Jack: Well, I was hoping to talk them into spending part of Christmas with the family.", "Gloria: Oh.", "Jack: Maybe if we go in there together...", "Gloria: Oh, no, no, no, no. Trust me, you do not wanna do that.", "Jack: Oh, you know, you're probably right. They won't even open the door. I had no idea things were this bad.", "Gloria: Well, it's not something that I'm proud of.", "Jack: Yeah, I can see why.", "Gloria: Well, thank you for trying, Jack. That's very sweet of you. I'm just here to thank Steven for the card that he sent. So we'll see you back at the house?", "Jack: You gonna be okay?", "Gloria: Oh, just fine. Ben's bark is a lot worse than his bite.", "Jack: Well, I just wish I could have come through for you.", "Gloria: Oh, no biggie. Bye.", "Michael: Get--get...", "Gloria: It's all right. The coast is clear. He's gone.", "Michael: Oh! I don't know which of you I wanna kill first.", "Gloria: Well, I know who I'd start with.", "Kevin: Mom!", "Gloria: What in the world were you thinking sending that card to me at the house?", "Michael: He wasn't thinking, that's the problem.", "Kevin: I can't even send my own mother a lousy Christmas card without getting yelled at? How bad does that suck?", "Gloria: Look, you two, I don't have time for this. I've gotta take some of these ornaments back. Ashley's having a fit.", "Kevin: You took those from the Abbotts?", "Michael: What? Yeah, take them all back. I'm sick of looking at them.", "Gloria: Kevin, get me the box these came in. Now!", "Kevin: Okay.", "Michael: You just keep getting in deeper and deeper, don't you?" ]

No one hears you, Lauren.", "Lauren: (Sighs) there's gotta be some way-- some way out of here.", "Sheila: You're even dumber than I thought. Hello? The whole point is to keep the people inside isolated. If you'd just worked with me instead of against me, we wouldn't be in this position right now.", "Lauren: Worked with you? You tried to kill me!

Till last year, you and your family made me finally see what it was all about. Now I'm just back to, uh... wishing it would just be over.", "Victor: Yeah.", "Nikki: Listen to me. I know that the pain is unbearable right now. I know. But you're gonna get through it. I know you are. And you have so many friends who love you. So many people to help you.

Can you watch Noah for a second? I wanna talk to Sharon.", "Victor: We certainly can.", "Nikki: Oh, I don't know. Can we watch Noah?", "Victor: Noah, let's go in the kitchen, come on.", "Nick: We'll be back before dinner.", "Sharon: We'll be right back.", "Noah: We just got the most awesome present.", "Nikki: You did?", "Victor: Well, you'll have to tell us all about it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: (Clears throat) so, uh, I was going to-- to come by and bring you something, but I didn't want to bug your family on Christmas Eve.", "Jack: You couldn't bug my family if you tried.", "Phyllis: I could bug them.

You could--you could stay if--if you want to.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: I understand why you're taunting me about my son. I mean, it really must eat away at you, listening to me go on about my family and Christmas. And everything I have and everything you don't.", "Sheila: What does somebody like you even know about Christmas, Lauren? When I think back to how miserable you made Scott's father, how that wonderful man suffered all because... you were afraid of losing. How you kept him tied down to a marriage that wasn't happy. And you know it wasn't.", "Lauren: No, our marriage wasn't perfect. But you... you went in there and you destroyed everything we had. If you hadn't, we would've stayed together. And Scott-- he would've had a chance to be with his father before he died. He would've had a chance to grow up in a normal family, have a normal childhood surrounded by the people who love him. You know, I don't know why I'm even explaining this to you. Because... you don't even know the meaning of love.", "Sheila: Lauren, no, you're wrong. I loved Scott. And I love his son with all my heart. And there is nothing I wouldn't do for him-- nothing. Do you hear me?", "Lauren: You still don't get it. That's called obsession not love. Love is about forgiveness and understanding and compassion. And those are things that you are never, ever gonna experience in your life. Because you don't even understand what they mean.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Scott, uh... if I could turn back the clock, believe me, I would. I have so many regrets about Tom, you know, about everything. And I know you blame me for what happened--", "Scott: I shouldn't have said that. It wasn't fair. Obviously, none of this is your fault.", "Michael: Look, Scott, you have every right to your feelings.", "Scott: I know you loved my mom, Michael. There's nothing you wouldn't have done to protect her. I know that. But right now, we all need to be strong and try to get through this the way my mother would want.", "Michael: Yes. You're right. She would like that.", "Kevin: Hey, guys?", "Michael: Hmm?", "Kevin: Um... I'm sorry to interrupt, but I just found these in the spare room.", "Michael: What is it?", "Kevin: Uh, they're Christmas gifts for us from Lauren.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Devon: Mom, what do you mean you're not going to New Hampshire with us?", "Yolanda: Just what I said.", "Devon: Why, though? Why? Did you guys say something to her while I was at the coffeehouse to make her feel like she shouldn't come along?", "Dru: Whoa, watch yourself now. We did no such thing.", "Yolanda: Yeah, Devon, you've got it all wrong.", "Neil: Listen, young man, we were just as surprised as you are. This was your mother's decision. She just told us.", "Yolanda: Yeah, honey, I have a job, remember? I have to work at the store through New Year's.", "Dru: Sweet, we'll be back in no time. You'll still be on break-- all kinds of time to spend with your mother.", "Yolanda: Yeah. We sure will. Now come on, enough discussing. It's Christmas Eve. What do you say we start enjoying it?", "Dru: Yeah.", "Yolanda: Oh, I made some of that custard that you like. You know, in the little dishes with the nutmeg?", "Devon: You remember that?", "Yolanda: Yeah. Okay, you help Drucilla and me put dinner on the table. And maybe I'll let you have some. Come on, I'm hungry. Let's go.", "Dru: There you go, okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Open, open, open. Open, open.", "Scott: Wow.", "Michael: Oh, my, look at your hair.", "Scott: I'll never forget when we took this picture. We were in New York. We had a total blast. Mom was so full of life and... she was a really great mom-- the best.", "Michael: She is a great mom. Look, uh... Scott, when we talked before the wedding about being a family... I just want you to know nothing's changed. I'll always be here for you if you'd like.", "Kevin: Yeah, me, too. And our mom and the Abbotts and, uh... all of us.", "Michael: Yeah, that whole bunch-- if you want us.", "Scott: Yeah. Yeah, I do.", "Michael: Then that's settled. We're family. We always will be.", "Kevin: Yeah.", "Scott: Thanks. 'Cause now that my mom's gone...", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sheila: Don't you patronize me. I know what love is. And if Scott had stayed married to me, I never would've betrayed him the way that you did. You cheated on him, Lauren. And I never would've done that. And I never, ever would've had my son raised thousands of miles away from me. When you love someone, you hold onto them with both hands. You don't abandon them.", "Lauren: Do you love your mother, Sheila?", "Sheila: That's complicated.", "Lauren: Molly Carter may be the only person on this planet who wanted to believe in you. And how did you repay her? You threatened her. You held her hostage. You left her to die in a fire because she was just a thorn in your side.", "Sheila: I didn't want to hurt her.", "Lauren: Oh, but you did. Now I don't know if you were born this way or something horrible happened to make you into the monster that you are. And you know, frankly, I really don't care. All I know is that this world would be a much nicer place if you had never been born.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: Uh, do you want something to drink? I can get you, um, cranberry juice, orange juice, uh... red wine, white wine, chocolate milk?", "Jack: Right now all I want is for you to hear what I have to say.", "Phyllis: Straight up or on the rocks?", "Jack: I know you were upset with me yesterday morning.", "Phyllis: Yeah, because you shut down Nikki and me.", "Jack: No, that was not my intention.", "Phyllis: Mmm.", "Jack: It was a business proposal. I could not get behind it for the reasons I gave you.", "Phyllis: I really wish you'd reconsider, Jack.", "Jack: I really, really didn't want to get into this conversation tonight.", "Phyllis: Oh.", "Jack: You know what? Every time I think we're on the road back, somehow we manage to let business derail us.", "Phyllis: I don't know if that's ever going to change. We see things completely different.", "Jack: I'm hoping it'll change. But you know what? Tonight... tonight I want to forget all about Jabot and Newman and shareholders and profits and anything else with a dollar sign in front of it. I wanna block it all out. All I care about-- all I care about... is being with you. You think... maybe we can put all that other stuff behind us? And just spend Christmas Eve together?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Nick, I hope that this isn't about Brad because... well, I know how upset you were.", "Nick: Sharon, let me just... when you came home from St. Louis and told me about what almost happened with Brad, that was a real wake-up call for me. I don't want things to go on the way the have been any more than you do. I really miss you.", "Sharon: I miss you, too, Nick, so much.", "Nick: But I know if things continue the way they have, if I don't fight for you, then our marriage is not gonna make it. Losing Cassie was the worst experience of my life. But I don't know what I would do if I lost you, too.", "Sharon: That won't happen. We won't let it.", "Nick: I have a present for you.", "Sharon: Oh, Nick.", "Nick: In February, we will have been married for ten years. Ten. We have gone through so much. We have faced unbelievable challenges. And we have survived every one of them-- every one of them. What we have is rare. That's worth fighting for. I was gonna wait and give that to you on our anniversary. But I wanted to give it to you now as a promise to you that things will get better in the New Year. I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. For months, you've been reaching out to me. And I just couldn't deal with it. I put up walls but... I need you to know that I love you. And I always will.", "Sharon: I love you, too... so much. And everything you said to me, I've been wanting to hear that for so long. And I almost gave up hope. But I'm glad I didn't. Because... this is a miracle.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: A portrait of Cassie? What a beautiful gesture.", "Victor: On the patio of the coffeehouse, did you say?", "Noah: I asked Santa to help me feel closer to Cassie. And I got my wish. I'm gonna go all the time and drink smoothies and see Cassie there.", "Nikki: Very sweet.", "Victor: Whose idea was that? Mackenzie's?", "Noah: No, Daniel's.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Daniel: Hey.", "Jack: Hey.", "Daniel: Don't you two look cozy?", "Phyllis: He came down the chimney and surprised me.", "Daniel: Ah. Well, it works out because I've got enough food here for three.", "Phyllis: Oh! I was going to make dinner.", "Daniel: That's all right. You know, you'll be slaving away in the kitchen all day tomorrow. I figured the least I could do is take care of tonight.", "Phyllis: Isn't he amazing?", "Jack: Well, that all depends. How many, uh, spring rolls you got in there?", "Phyllis: Do you have spring rolls?", "Daniel: You know, I'm really glad you're here, Jack.", "Jack: Thanks. Your mom just finished telling me about what you did at the coffeehouse. Pretty impressive.", "Daniel: It was great. I mean, the Newmans looked like they were really touched. And we gave little Noah a Christmas Eve that he'll never forget. That's what counts.", "Phyllis: I'm so proud of you.", "Daniel: Thanks.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: I just can't get over that tribute to Cassie. What a perfect gift.", "Noah: I can't believe she won't be here.", "Victor: I know. That's difficult for all of us to deal with, okay? But what is important is that we celebrate her memory and that we celebrate her life.", "Nikki: Just as we're celebrating the birth of a child tonight.", "Victor: Mm-hmm. The birth of a child whose message was peace on earth.", "Noah: And goodwill to men.", "Victor: That's right.", "Nikki: That's right.", "Victor: Smart boy.", "Nikki: And that is what we pray for tonight and every night.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Devon: I just wanted to say that... I have the very best foster parents in the world. You guys took me in and my mother, and you gave us a real home for the first time ever. You know, how many-- how many people would do that?", "Dru: Oh, baby, thank you. Oh, thank you.", "Devon: And, Mom, I'm... I'm so proud of you and, uh, all that you've done for yourself. I just think that... you're beautiful, Mom.", "Yolanda: Oh, honey...", "Devon: I love you.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Brad: I'm not the bad guy in your marriage, Nick, you are.", "Jill: You took this to Jack before you brought it to me? Why did you go over my head that way?", "Tom: Don't hang up. It's me.", "Gloria: You murdering bastard!" ]

Bye.", "Lily's voice: Hey, Sonny, are you still coming?", "Billy: That is the question.", "Rafael: The charges against you are serious, Adam, but as a first-time offender, you might catch a break.", "Adam: What, are you kidding? You're going up against the great Victor Newman.

You can pretend you don't have any interest in Jack so I'll lower the price? Okay.", "Victor: I gave you a chance to expose Jack Abbott. You turned me down, arrogantly. You were insulting.

But that's just gonna force me to say not guilty sooner than later. And I would really like to speed this along. I-I really wanna bang this thing.", "Amber: No. No. What did you do to Mrs. Chancellor, huh? How'd you make it look like an accident? Was it just because of the money?", "Jana: Oh, no, my Kevvy's a sweet, loving little soul, who wouldn't do anything like that.", "Amber: Kevin had a bag of cash the night Mrs. C. disappeared from the coffeehouse. Maybe it was Mrs. C.'s and maybe he stole it and maybe he had to cover his tracks and that was his motive for killing her!", "Kevin: Dude! I know she's rich, but come on!", "Daniel: Nobody carries around that kind of cash.", "Amber: She's a billionaire. Duh.", "Jana: Ahem. You are just grasping at bloody straws now. We all know Amber's kooky, overrated, outrageous, over the top thing that she's doing, but we love her anyway, don't we?", "Kevin: (Imitates buzzer) Try again.", "Daniel: Hey, do you guys wanna come over later, get some pizza, some beer?", "Amber: No! No! No! No! Not until I prove Kevin's guilty!", "Jana: But he's not!", "Daniel: So you can't!", "Kevin: There. I'm outta here. I want pizza and beer.", "[Kevin imagining]", "Kay: Liar!

Please come?", "Cane: If she's up to it, absolutely.", "Esther: Wait till you see the tree next year. It'll be covered in baby's first Christmas ornaments.", "Jill: Oh, a new Chancellor baby in the family. How incredible.", "Cane: I never thought I would... I never thought I'd reach this point, Mum.", "Esther: Well, it came out of the blue. No one expected you to be all smiles and chipper right off the bat.", "Cane: Oh, I saw this picture of Chloe when she was a little girl, and let me say... this baby is gonna have some cheeks--like, cheeks.", "Esther: Oh, yes. You'll push her in the stroller and put her on your shoulders. Chloe never had that, but, well, her daughter will.", "Jill: Oh, don't start sniffling now, Esther. You won't stop till New Year's.", "Cane: You know what I realized, Mom? All that anger I had before-- there's no room for it anymore. I'm going to be a father, and it doesn't matter how it happened, and it doesn't matter what I lost. I just can't wait to see this little baby's face. I can't wait.", "Jill: Oh.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: So what did you do for dinner last night?", "Billy: Really? You're--you're so bored waiting that you're gonna ask me about my dinner?", "Lily: Hey, did you know that Sonny's friend's name in \"The Last Picture Show\" was Billy?", "Billy: Yeah.", "Lily: Wait, you knew? As in, like, you've read the book before?", "Billy: Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, as in, that was supposed to be fascinating, but it's just--it's just not.", "Lily: Well, I bet Sonny knows.", "Billy: Why do you care so much?", "Lily: Because it was just so random. It's like there was only one guy on that entire dating site that I actually wanted to know, and he just happened to like a book that I love. You know, it was a good sign. Unlike him not showing. That is not a good sign.", "Billy: Well, relax. He said he was on his way.", "Lily: Well, maybe he saw me and thinks I'm a troll.", "Billy: Oh, yeah, that's it. That's definitely the logical explanation. Definitely. You're such a troll.", "Lily: Or he's just jerking me around for fun.", "Billy: Or maybe he's just intimidated by smart, funny, gorgeous you. Or maybe, um... he's hiding behind a quirky screen name and text messages because... it's safe.", "Lily: Safe? From what?", "Billy: Maybe you'll see him, not like what you see.", "Lily: Billy?", "Billy: Or you can call me Sonny.", "Billy: You thought I might be taller, right? Look, I know it's anti-climatic. You were expecting a stranger, but here I am. Look, look, look, I had every intention of telling you that I was Sonny Crawford.", "Lily: Oh, okay, then why didn't you?", "Billy: 'Cause it was never the appropriate time.", "Lily: How about all those times I told you I met this great guy online? You had a million chances.", "Billy: After all the Jabot mess? I mean, you wouldn't have listened to me.", "Lily: Yeah, you know what? You're a coward.", "Billy: Yeah, I am a coward. Okay? You wouldn't even talk to me. You wouldn't even look at me for a while. But this Sonny guy-- he can always talk to you. He wasn't such a jerk. What was I supposed to do?", "Lily: To think, the things that I told him. I mean, you. Sorry.", "Billy: Look, I-I was there, too, right? I mean, I-I told you things I couldn't tell you face-to-face. And I don't know, it--it felt good, that connection, you know? I let down my guard. It felt right.", "Lily: Yeah, to make a fool out of me. Nice.", "Billy: I didn't mean-- look, I-I was gonna come clean at the Halloween party, okay? But then you got all upset about Cane and you took off. You bolted. And I tried again when we came here, but what happened?", "Lily: Cane showed up.", "Billy: You weren't ready. And maybe you're not ready now, or maybe you're just not ready for me. I don't know, but... every conversation that we had-- it felt right--you and me. And... we don't have to lose that, right? You know? I don't wanna lose that. We don't have to if you just... forgive me.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Cane: Okay, bye.", "Esther: Oh! Chloe said she'd come?", "Cane: She is dying to get out of the house.", "Esther: Oh, that is great! Wait a minute... what is this? I thought that we agreed to wait until Christmas morning to open Mrs. Chancellor's gifts.", "Jill: I probably just nodded to make you stop talking.", "Cane: Is this Grandma's last gift?", "Jill: You know what? I need privacy for that.", "Esther: Tears are nothing to be ashamed of, Jill.", "Jill: Who said anything about tears, Esther?", "Cane: Mom, the three of us are here. We all loved Katherine. There is no better time to open this. Come on.", "Jill: All right. If only to put an end to this.", "Esther: We're here for you. You go first, and then I will.", "Jill: If I do-- if emotion does happen, not one word.", "Cane: (Chuckles)", "Jill: What... the hell? \"Embrace your feminine side and you might finally land a man.\" What a bitch!", "Cane: (Laughs)", "Jill: Go! Open yours! I'll bet yours is something sweet and loving.", "Cane: (Laughing)", "Esther: Okay. Oh, here it is.", "Jill: Oh, God.", "Esther: Oh! \"Black does nothing for your skin tone. Enjoy!\" What a--", "Jill: Excuse me? I didn't quite catch that.", "Cane: She's even pushing buttons from the great beyond.", "Jill: Oh, my God. The ornery, in your face, pain in a backside--", "Esther: All that and more. We were so lucky to know her. Katherine Chancellor was one of a kind.", "Cane: Yeah.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kay: Don't say anything, but look and see if Murphy seems a little upset.", "Pearl: Looks like Murphy.", "Kay: Well, he bought me the same foot massage that Joe did.", "Pearl: Well, you keep Murphy's, give me Joe, Jr.'s. Problem solved.", "Kay: That's not the point. He seems a little low, and I think he should have a boost. I planned this big spread for him Christmas morning. I think I should do it tonight instead.", "Pearl: Okay.", "Kay: I wanna get started.", "Pearl: Go on, I'll stall him.", "Kay: Your secret gift may be delayed a little bit tonight because I've gotta use it as an excuse.", "Pearl: I knew it was you. Go on. I'm a sucker for young love.", "Murphy: All right, Benny, I'll catch you later. Take care. Merry Christmas.", "Benny: You, too.", "Kay: Uh, Murph--Murph-- Murphy, listen, I, um, I gotta go home and get Pearl's present. I forgot to bring it with me.", "Murphy: Well no, you sit. I'll go.", "Kay: No, no, I know exactly where it is. Now cover for me, because she doesn't know that I'm her secret elf.", "Murphy: Okay, mum's the word.", "Kay: See ya.", "Murphy: Oh, hey, Pearl? A cup of coffee?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "[Amber dreaming]", "Amber: You're back! Oh, Mrs. C., I missed you so much!

Duh.", "Amber: See? Duh! You weren't yourself. Even Jill was worried about your memory problems.", "Kay: I-I asked him if I left the money there at Crimson Lights, and he yelled at me!", "Amber: He yelled? He yelled at her?! What happened next?", "Kay: He wanted to meet me. Now he told you that himself, Jana!", "Jana: I thought you said she didn't show.", "Kevin: She didn't!", "Kay: Liar! Watch the wings.", "Amber: Oh, yes.", "Kay: We met. He wanted to talk before he handed over the money. One drink, you said, one drink.", "Amber: That's why he was at the bar.", "Jana: I'm sure he was just trying to be kind and friendly.", "Kay: I ordered a drink, non-alcoholic, of course. Watch the wings.", "Amber: He spiked it!", "Kay: That's exactly what he did! Yes! And once I was blotto, he put me behind the wheel of a car-- my car-- and with purpose. Delivering me to my death.", "Kevin: Oh! (Scoffs) She got hammered all on her own. Everybody knows that.", "Amber: This was your fault! You did this! She was my friend and now she's gone! And she is gone because of you!", "Kevin: It was the money! Everybody knows I'm crazy about money. That and deep down inside I'm a violent person. I have tried to kill before.", "Daniel: That is exactly what Amber said. See, Baby? I listen.", "Jana: Oh, it's true! Amber, how could I have ever doubted you?", "Daniel: Amber, you are a genius, even with a cold.", "Amber: Thank you.", "Kay: Thank you for avenging my death. Careful of the feathers.", "Amber: Well, it won't bring you back, but at least we know why you're gone.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Billy: Um, here.", "Lily: I don't even know you.", "Billy: Oh, come on. You know me better than anybody else I know.", "Lily: And what, if you can stick it to Cane? That's what, a bonus or the main event?", "Billy: Look, I-I don't wanna screw Cane. I just.. I just want you.", "Lily: You have all the right answers. So easy to believe you. I should've walked away when you walked in.", "Billy: Look, listen to me. Falling for you has felt more right than anything else in my life in a very long time. I didn't mean to hurt you.", "Lily: You know, I am really sick of hearing those words.", "Billy: Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: You wanna see me scared? Fine. It's obvious I'm scared.

But, you know, if you do get to the end of the books before me, you have to promise not to tell me what happens, 'cause it drives me nuts when people do that.", "Victor: You've done the impossible. You've put me in the holiday spirit, you know?", "Sharon: You know, I never really even knew what the Christmas spirit was until I joined your family. When I was growing up, you know, my father wasn't around, and Doris, she's-- she's not the most festive person, you know? So Christmas was always a bit of a disappointment, just something that never lived up to the hype. I'm sure that's nothing compared to your childhood.", "Victor: (Inhales deeply) Hmm. There's certain similarities, yeah. It wasn't until I was an adult that I didn't... loathe the idea of Christmas, but now with children and grandchildren... Beautiful music, and... (Inhales deeply) The smell of Christmas trees and candles and... the laughter of children.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: You dragged him-- you dragged him away.

He'll be there waiting for us.", "Kevin: Wait, wait a second. If Carmine knows that I'm getting married, why does he think that you and I had sex?", "Angelina: Right, because no one ever cheats.", "Kevin: Whatever. I'm going to my wife-to-be, who is waiting for me, and your dad can handle this.", "Angelina: No! You can't tell Daddy. He'll kill me, and you for letting it happen, and if Carmine finds us there--", "Kevin: Whatever. You know what? Fine. I don't care. I'm just gonna call the cops, then.", "Angelina: Did you forget who Daddy is? Cops are not an option. I can handle Carmine. I can. We just need to... (Sighs) Duck out of town for a couple of days, until I can make him see sense.", "Kevin: What are you talking about? We don't have a couple of days. I am getting married right now!", "Angelina: Do you want my lunatic boyfriend popping off bullets around Chloe and your family?

Do you think he's bleeding?", "Victoria: No, no, no, no, like a flat.", "Michael: Yes, like he needs jumper cables.", "Billy: I have some jumper cables...", "Chloe: (Gasps)", "Billy: And I'm gonna go find him and give them to him.", "Chloe: (Sighs)", "(Cell phone rings)", "Chloe: Oh, wait, maybe that's him, maybe that's him. Oh, my God, oh, my God. Hi. Are you okay? Are you bleeding? Do you need cables? Are you serious? You're calling off the wedding? Angelo said that you were right behind him.", "Kevin: I... (Clears throat) I was, and then, um... something happened, and-- I have to pull over. Hold on. I realized, Chloe, that I, um... I need some time... to think.", "Chloe: About what?", "Kevin: I'm worried that you're gonna get hurt. I think that if we get married, you're gonna get hurt, so it's best we just stop now. (Sniffles)", "Chloe: You don't want to marry me.", "Kevin: (Sniffles) (Sighs) It's crazy, isn't it? How this all happened-- I mean, so fast. We were together, and then we weren't, and we were together again, and then, boom, we were engaged.", "Chloe: But we were okay, weren't we?", "Kevin: I-I can't come to the church and I can't see you in your dress, looking so beautiful, knowing that... some terrible things could happen to you, and it would be my fault. It's not fair.", "Chloe: No, no, I mean, look, if you're not ready to get married, then you shouldn't be here.", "Kevin: Chloe, there's nobody else that I would rather be ready for. You know that. (Sighs) I-I'm just not there.", "Chloe: (Voice breaks) Okay.", "Kevin: I'm gonna go away for a few days. I need time, just so that... I know that I'm doing the right thing, and when I get back, we will sit down and we will talk face-to-face, and I will hopefully have answers for you.", "Chloe: Sure.", "Kevin: Chloe?", "Chloe: Yeah?", "Kevin: (Sobbing) I'm so sorry.", "Kevin: (Breathing heavily)", "Chloe: Um... So there's not gonna be a wedding tonight.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: (Slurring speech) Hello? Another.

Pour me a drink.", "Deacon: Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Honey, but I'm here as a customer.", "Nikki: (Groans) Well, your hands aren't broken, so pour it anyway.", "Deacon: You know, that woman who put me in my place yesterday was sober. She was tough and strong. Who the hell did this to you, Nikk? Who drove you back to the booze?", "Nikki: You are so, so concerned about me, so full of... it.", "Deacon: You're right, I am full of it...", "Nikki: Mm.", "Deacon: About some things, but one thing that has not changed and will never change is that you affect me. I see you like this, and all I want to do-- all I want to do is take care of you. I mean, I know you think I'm a jerk. Hell, I am a jerk...", "Nikki: Mm.", "Deacon: But I'm a jerk that cares about you. Please, let me help you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: Well, look at this place. I mean, it just looks incredible, right? And what am I gonna do? I'm gonna be that person who's like-- has this great big party, and then is like, \"Oh, no, whatever.\" I mean, I could do that, and I could get really drunk and cry all over people, but...

You don't deserve this.", "Chloe: Thanks.", "Billy: (Clears throat) I'm gonna ask you something that, uh, if it were coming from anyone else, it'd be unfathomable, but, um... (Clicks lips) Given our crazy history, I feel like I could ask you this.", "Chloe: Are you serious? (Laughs)", "Billy: No, uh, well, maybe, I don't-- are you gonna hit me if I ask you?", "Chloe: No. (Sniffles) You're right. I'm the only person you could ever ask.", "Billy: This is true.", "Chloe: Um...", "Billy: (Laughs)", "Chloe: Yeah, do it.", "Billy: Thank you.", "Billy: (Clears throat)", "Victoria: Uh... everyone, uh... I'm afraid that I have an announcement. Kevin and Chloe will not be getting married tonight.", "Jill: What?", "Victoria: (Quietly) That sounded a lot more subtle in my head.", "Billy: (Quietly) No, no, it--it's okay. Um, I got your back.

Here you're at the underground.", "Summer: Yes. Here I am at my dad's club, where my husband works.", "Phyllis: As opposed to having your own job.

Think about what he's gonna do. He's gonna come after me. He's gonna find a way, and he's gonna get to me, then I'll be dead and he'll be in prison.

You want some more?", "Paul: [Laughs] You want me to comment on your poetry? No, no, no!", "[Laughter]", "Paul: Moving right along. Santa had an excellent time. The kids were really cute. A little sticky, but cute. And they asked for a bunch of gadgets that I had no idea what they were. Go figure.", "Dylan: Well, now you'll know when your kid asks you in a few years.", "Paul: Yeah.", "Avery: Yeah. Where's Chris?", "Paul: She's home resting. Today proved how exhausting kids can be.", "Dylan: Well, you got a couple months to store up some energy.", "Paul: Right. I hope it's enough. So how did the flier distribution go?", "Avery: Very well. We're getting the word out about the rally.", "Dylan: Yeah, it's just good to see that people care about the area.", "Paul: They do. They care about you and the coffee house. You've made a real impact on this area in a very short time. On all of us.", "Avery: Yes, he has, and there was a news van parked out front.", "Paul: Really? You know, you get the media on your side, the powers that be will follow.", "Avery: Yes, it's a big step in gaining landmark status for the building.", "Paul: That sounds like a lot of paperwork. But worth it maybe. I mean, these old brick buildings have been around a long time. But they were built to last.", "Dylan: Yeah, the thing is sometimes people don't know the value of something until it's gone.

She was upset that Santa couldn't give her what she wanted for Christmas.", "Avery: That's ridiculous. What could Faith possibly want we couldn't give her? Oh, my God. A family. She asked that we'd be together.", "Nick: I told her that I loved her, that we both did, and that will never change.", "Sharon: And then she just ran out and you didn't stop her? She's a child!", "Nick: I thought she was okay. Then I went to check on her.", "Sharon: She's not okay, Nick. No one is okay. Faith, I want you to come here right now, sweetie. This is not a good game.", "Nick: She is not here.", "Sharon: She has to be. Because she can't be out there in the snow and the cold. Anything could happen to her.", "Phyllis: Because getting romantic advice from me is so hilarious?", "Summer: Well, I just plan on being married only once.", "Phyllis: Well, we all plan on it just being once. But sometimes life gets in the way. None of us set out to be a three-time bride, Summer and to think otherwise is naive.", "Summer: So how are you and Jack doing?", "Phyllis: I think we are handling our issues like mature adults.", "Summer: Mm. Meaning that Jack hid anything that's valuable that could break if thrown across the room?", "Phyllis: Meaning he admits he should have told me sooner about Kelly, and I understand that he was lonely and needed some companionship.", "Summer: And that you want to rip Kelly's face off?", "Phyllis: Yes. But no, because Jack and I are past all that. I am back. And I am healthy, and I am accepting that life went on while I was away.

And, as for earlier, I told you before, I just was really turned around.", "Chelsea: You were just listening in on a private conversation?", "Sage: I don't know what you mean by that. I just needed directions.", "Chelsea: Right, to a store that was just up the street. It wasn't particularly a very believable cover story.", "Sage: I didn't think I needed to have a cover story. It's the truth.", "Chelsea: Listen. I don't know who you are, but I have the feeling you know who I am. So I should tell you I can spot a con a mile away, and you are setting off my radar. I want to know why.", "Adam: Think about this. Billy's not rotting away in some prison cell right now for trying to shoot me in my car that night. He's not, is he? He's out in the world.", "Jack: Don't you dare act as if this is some rough patch that Billy got through. He lost his daughter. My niece is dead.", "Adam: Yes, I know that. The thought of it makes me sick. But Adam is dead now. He has paid the ultimate price. He lost his life, his wife, the chance to be a father to his son.", "Jack: It's a stolen identity. A new face. You're still Adam in there. God, you're still alive.", "Adam: I'm upright and walking, Jack, but I am not living. Not yet.", "Jack: Not yet? What, you're expecting more? Do you want it all back? Billy and Chelsea are together now. They're happy.", "Adam: Yeah, I know, maybe you're right. That might be the case. But I'm just asking for a chance here. I want to see my boy. That's all. I want to hear Chelsea's voice. These are the things that I miss the most. That's all I'm asking for.", "Jack: My brother lost more than you can ever imagine.", "Adam: What does he gain by finding out that I'm still alive, hmm? You really want to rip open that wound again? Because I got to tell you something -- I'm not sure that Billy will ever be able to come back from that.", "Jack: 'Cause of course you worry so much about him.", "Adam: Because this way we can both remain among the living. Now, I know that you want to see me punished. I get that. But don't you also want to protect your brother from himself?", "Billy: Hey. I'm here. Who's this?", "Sage: I was just trying to make it back to the main road. I heard voices. I didn't realize --", "Chelsea: That a man was pouring his heart out over his deceased child? And you just thought, \"why not stick around\"?", "Sage: No. I couldn't hear what you were saying. I would never take pleasure in someone else's suffering. I know how it is to lose someone that you love.", "Chelsea: Finding common ground. Nice move. What's your deal? What, were you recording him so you could post it on some, like, disgusting tabloid website or something?", "Sage: No. I wish I hadn't been there. Geez. I wish I wasn't here now.", "Chelsea: Then why are you here?", "Sage: I'm staying at the hotel.", "Chelsea: And like I said, I don't believe you.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Sage: Hello? Yes. Okay. Right there.", "Chelsea: Hey!", "Jack: Billy, this is --", "Adam: Gabriel Bingham.", "Billy: Oh. Billy Abbott.", "Adam: Did some business with your brother.", "Billy: Bingham. Bingham -- that name doesn't sound familiar.", "Adam: Well, it was a long time ago. Right, Jack? I don't think you were in the Genoa City offices back then.", "Billy: Oh, yeah. The Hong Kong years.", "Adam: Must be it. Anyway, I know that I probably overstepped coming here, but, um... I wanted to make my personal plea to you, Jack. Do we have a deal?", "Jack: No. No, not yet.", "Adam: Well, \"not yet\" I can live with. We'll talk soon.", "Billy: Hey. Nice to meet you.", "Adam: You too.", "Billy: All right. He's gone. You, uh, want to tell me what that was all about?", "Phyllis: Well, they can't find her at all?", "Summer: No. Dad's about to call the police, but he's probably just calling everybody he can think of.", "Austin: We can help with that.", "Summer: Maybe we can post it on FacePlace or something.", "Phyllis: Yeah, yeah. Have everyone keep an eye out. Definitely.", "Austin: It's okay. It's okay. I got it. I got you.", "Phyllis: We'll find her, babe.", "Summer: It's cold and it's gonna be dark outside.", "Phyllis: You know, I imagine they've looked in the barn, but maybe she's in one of the service buildings on the ranch.", "Summer: This is Sharon's fault. Sharon is the one that tore up this family, and now Faith is scared and alone all because of Sharon.", "Phyllis: How many times did you run off only to be back in time for dinner? Even as an adult, you ran off to Chicago after the Kyle mess. That was enough to scare your dad and me.", "Summer: Yeah, but Faith is a kid. She doesn't know how to look after herself.", "Phyllis: I've seen your dad in these situations. He will find her. You hear me? Hey. You hear me? It's gonna be okay. It'll be okay.", "Paul: And you check all the outbuildings and the grounds. All right.", "Sharon: Paul, thank you so much for coming. We had no idea you were gonna handle this yourself.", "Paul: Well, I heard the call come in, and I wanted to be a part of this personally.", "Nick: Thank you.", "Paul: Please sit down. Nick, I wanted to ask you, do you think that this had anything to do with what happened before, when I talked to Faith as Santa Claus?", "Nick: No, not at all. You just told her the truth. Santa can't put families back together.", "Paul: Yeah, I just should have figured out a way to touch the issue.", "Sharon: No, Paul, it's not your fault. Just the fact that you're here now -- I just want to find my daughter.", "Paul: All right. Let's cover all the bases. You've talked to friends and family?", "Nick: Just family. Noah, Mariah, Summer, my dad.", "Sharon: No one's heard from her.", "Paul: Has she ever done anything like this before?", "Sharon: A couple of years ago, she panicked and she ran off, but we found her almost immediately.", "Paul: Why did she panic?", "Sharon: I was hurt, and she was scared, just like now she's scared.", "Nick: She is upset, and she acted out.", "Sharon: Well, what does she have to hang onto, Nick? A war between mommy and daddy, no idea what's going on or what's gonna happen? She knows I'm hurt. She knows why.", "Nick: Look, I'm putting every ounce of energy I have into finding our daughter. You should be doing the same.", "Sharon: You're not hearing me. Faith is terrified she's going to lose me. How much more proof do you need to see before you realize you're hurting our child?", "Nick: [Sighs] Oh, you want to do this? You want to blame me? You lied to Faith. You lied to Faith's father. You told her I was punishing you? If she found out I was going for full custody, she didn't hear about it from me.", "Sharon: Faith and I both know that you are using her to get back at me, like you have too many times before.", "Nick: And you're using her as a human shield.", "Paul: You know what? That's really not the issue right now.", "Sharon: I would never.", "Nick: You are hiding behind an innocent child. You did this. You did this to all of us. You dragged Noah right back into the middle of it, and you know how much he hates it. You don't know how to put your kids first. It's so obvious. I mean, when you tried to make everything think that Adam wasn't a threat, even though he stole our child and let us think she was dead? And nothing's changed since. That is why I'm fighting for custody, so I can keep Faith safe.", "Sharon: This happened on your watch. That's you keeping her safe? You can blame me all you want, but this is all on you! And if you want to fight me in court, I'm gonna tell the judge about this right away. And we're gonna have a police report to back it up.", "Paul: Okay, okay, that's enough! You're not gonna use my department to bolster your case. Either one of you. This is about finding your child. Period. Now let's do this. Do you hear me? All right, we're gonna make some calls. Friends' parents, maybe a favorite teacher. Babysitter. I'm gonna go outside and supervise my men. The good news -- little feet don't usually travel very far. And do me a favor. Don't kill each her.", "Chelsea: Oh, Avery.", "Avery: Chelsea. Hi. How are you?", "Chelsea: I'm good. I've actually been meaning to call you. Some paperwork came in regarding Adam's estate. Probate -- would you mind looking it over for me?", "Avery: Of course. Adam was a client of mine.", "Chelsea: You were also a very good friend to him. He didn't have many of those, certainly no one that will admit to it now. So, thank you for looking it over.", "Avery: Mm-hmm.", "Chelsea: Oh, and I meant to ask you -- you're fighting against the warehouse district new development? You and Dylan?", "Avery: Yes, it's a real struggle. We have a really coming up, so if you're available, we could use your support.", "Chelsea: Sure. It's not going well?", "Avery: Well, it's an uphill battle, but we're getting momentum, and we're meeting the mayor today.", "Chelsea: That should help you.", "Avery: Yes, and if he can just hear Dylan out, I think that we'll get the backing we need for landmark stat at the coffee house. Dylan has a way with people.", "Chelsea: I remember.", "Avery: He's actually outside right now talking to supporters.", "Chelsea: Whoa. What is this?", "Avery: Yes, we're engaged.", "Chelsea: You're -- oh, my gosh. That's great. Congratulations.", "Avery: Thank you. Thank you. We're very happy.", "Chelsea: I'm really happy for the both of you. Feels like we're all getting a fresh start. [Chuckles]", "Billy: I mean, I walk in here, and you are drilling that guy with look you usually save for Victor.", "Jack: There are similarities.", "Billy: You really did business with him?", "Jack: Yeah. Yeah. Not all of it positive.", "Billy: Okay, so, what? He was here to make nice, kiss the ring?", "Jack: Something like that.", "Billy: Really? To your house? That -- that takes some stones. You know, his next play is gonna be to use the friendship card.", "Jack: Oh, he has already played that card.", "Billy: Okay, look, I know that you're a big fan of loyalty, b you need to check your gut, brother. I mean, don't get screwed over just because you want to make nice.", "Jack: I just need more time to consider, that's all.", "Billy: Oh. In the meantime, as long as you're considering things... this -- way more interesting.", "Jack: Oh.", "Billy: Uh-huh.", "Jack: She's perfect.", "Billy: Yeah. It's nuts, right? First Christmas. Not that she has any clue, but... [Chuckles] Johnny, he's starting to get it, and Connor, eh, maybe, but Katie, we're just gonna dress her up like an elf or a candy cane, let her drool right through it. It'll be awesome.", "Jack: It's a lot of Christmas cheer. Johnny and Connor.", "Billy: Yeah, we're going blended family all the way. In fact, Chelsea came with me to go see Katie.", "Jack: Wow. Victoria was okay with that?", "Billy: We're all getting along -- me, Chelsea, Vick. Stitch. [Chuckles] Yeah, yeah, I know. I've come to terms with him. He's, uh... he's not a bad guy.", "Jack: You seem happy, Billy. More at peace than I've seen you in a long time.", "Billy: Yeah. Well, I went to the memorial today -- Dee Dee's. And I guess I realized that any time I get to spend with Katie, Johnny, Connor -- I'm a lucky guy. Hey, uh, did a package come for me today?", "Jack: Yeah, it's in the kitchen.", "Billy: Oh. Chelsea's Christmas gift. I'm gonna go grab it.", "Adam: Delia, I am -- I'm so sorry. [Sighs] [Sniffles] I came here once before, and I told you that I, uh... that I had to pay for what I did. [Sniffles] What I did to you. [Sniffles] And I feel like I have. Just not in the way that I intended to, but I really feel like I have. I, um... I lost my wife and my [Sniffles] Son. My God, I hope you didn't suffer. [Sniffles] [Sighs] There is a, um... there's a little boy [Sniffles] That I want to get to know. And... I feel like he needs me in his life, you know? He's my son.

Guardianship for Connor Newman?", "Jack: Adam was worried if he died Victor would get access to Connor.", "Phyllis: And warp the kid?", "Jack: Yeah. That was his fear.", "Phyllis: Well, when he died -- now, I'm still piecing this together. That's when you found out about his connection to Delia's accident?", "Jack: Yeah.", "Phyllis: Well, that's a lot at once. I mean, first you're grieving your friend, and then you find out what he did.", "Jack: Part of me hated him. Parted of me pitied him. I don't know that Adam ever really had a chance in life, tied to Victor the way he was.", "Phyllis: If he had gotten away from his father, he probably would have, I don't know, had a better shot.", "Jack: He would have been a better man. I know that.", "Phyllis: [Sighs] Honey, I know that would have made you happy, and for your sake, I wish he had that chance, but it still doesn't make sense.", "Jack: None of it makes any sense.", "Phyllis: No, I mean, what's with the papers? Why pull them out now?", "[Lock disengages]", "Chelsea: [Sighs]", "Chelsea: You're back. I only beat you by a few minutes.", "Billy: Yeah, I just had to swing by Jack's and grab a little something.", "Chelsea: Let me hold it.", "Billy: Hold what?", "Chelsea: The present! Let me hold it. You know, shake it around, see how heavy it is. That kind of thing.", "Billy: Oh, that kind of thing. Uh, no.", "Chelsea: Please?", "Billy: That is not how this works. We wait until Christmas.", "Chelsea: I don't like to wait.", "Billy: I had it sent to my brother's place so you couldn't get your little paws on it.", "Chelsea: You love my paws.", "Billy: It's true. I do. And you can feel free to put them on me any time. Just not the gift.", "Chelsea: Okay, fine. Let me just see for one second how -- [Chuckles]", "Billy: Patience.", "Chelsea: Like you have any patience.", "Billy: No, I'm not an example for anyone. So... are the kids still with Hannah?", "Chelsea: Yes. Why? What do you have in mind?", "Billy: I will just have to show you.", "Chelsea: Oh. Well, that's very tempting.", "Billy: Mm-hmm.", "Chelsea: You want to take this upstairs, then?", "[Both laugh]", "[Laughing]", "Chelsea: No! That tickles! Stop it! [Laughs]", "Avery: Yes, the documents will come from Chelsea Newman regarding the estate of Adam Newman. Put that at the top of my stack. Thank you, phoebe. Messy business of dying. Well, the messy legal business, that is. It lingers on.", "Dylan: Even after all the papers are signed and filed.", "Avery: Yeah. You know, when I thought you were dead, you were never not in my thoughts. I would lie awake in bed and just pray for one more day -- one more day to see your face.", "Dylan: And here I am.", "Avery: It's the kind of luck most people never get.", "Dylan: You think Chelsea does that about Adam when she's with Billy?", "Avery: I don't know, but I'm glad she's happy. I think everyone deserves a second chance.", "Dylan: Just like us?", "Avery: Yeah. Like us.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Dylan: Oh, city hall.", "Avery: Oh. Get it.", "Dylan: Yes. Dylan McAvoy. Are you sure? I'm -- I mean, we can be there in, like, five minutes. Okay, uh, can I reschedule right now? [Sighs] Please, this means a lot to us. Okay. Okay. Thank you.", "Avery: Do not tell me the mayor's office just canceled.", "Dylan: Yes, they did.", "Avery: Why would they make an appointment just to break it?", "Dylan: [Sighs] That's a good question. All I know is the fight just got tough again.", "Summer: Where is Faith? I don't understand. The park, the movie theater --", "Austin: We looked everywhere.", "Summer: If we can't find her and my dad and the police -- it's so cold out there, Austin. Once night falls...", "Austin: The police aren't gonna give up, Summer. Okay, maybe if she calms down she'll go home on her own.", "Summer: No, she left for a reason. Being out there is not as scary as being at home. Please, just promise me that we will never get a divorce. Okay, just please -- please promise that we would never put our own kids through something like this.", "Paul: All right.", "Nick: Anything?", "Paul: We found bicycle tracks all the way up to the main road.", "Sharon: She's never been on that road without one of us.", "Nick: Especially not in the winter.", "Paul: All right, I'm calling out more uniforms. We're gonna widen the search area. Now, I know this sounds impossible, but stay calm. She'll be home soon.", "Nick: Thanks, Paul.", "Paul: All right.", "Sharon: On the main road, on her bike, as it gets dark and the roads get icy. That's even if she's still alone! What if someone picked her up?", "Nick: No, that's never gonna happen. Faith knows the code word. She knows -- she's not gonna get tricked into someone's car.", "Sharon: She's a child. Someone could have grabbed her.", "Nick: No. Don't. Don't do that. Okay? We just need to focus on finding her.", "Sharon: Bad things happen on the road at night. Delia.", "Nick: Sharon. Faith isn't like anyone else in this world. She is not Cassie. She is not Delia.", "Sharon: No, she's not like anyone else.", "Nick: What happened last time she took off? Dylan found her, and he brought her home.", "Sharon: She was so scared.", "Nick: But the point is she came home. She was home with us.", "Nick: \"'Why, thank you,' replied bumpy. 'Don't mind if I do.' He took a long slurp of water and then burped.\"", "Faith: [Laughs]", "Sharon: \"The Bedouins laughed, having never heard a camel burp before. But bumpy didn't care.\"", "Nick: \"He'd made it back, and that's all that mattered.\"", "Sharon: \"Happy now, bumpy fell asleep, surrounded by his friends and family.\"", "Nick: \"He was finally home.\"", "Sharon: She came home.", "Dylan: [Sighs] We were so close!", "Avery: We don't need the mayor's support to make this happen.", "Dylan: But having it, it would have put us on the one-yard line.", "Sharon: Somebody must have gotten to him, said something.", "Dylan: Maybe one of his advisors? I mean, who even knew we had the appointment? And for the mayor to turn on a dime like that.", "Avery: Joe doesn't have that kind of pull.", "Dylan: But his investors might.", "Avery: Okay, well, if the mayor's gonna side with big business --", "Dylan: This place matters. I'm not just gonna watch it go away.", "Avery: The landmark commission can still decide in your favor.", "Dylan: Unless somebody gets to them, too.", "Avery: Well, we can fight that, Dylan.", "Dylan: Oh, I plan to. I'm not losing a damn thing I care about. Definitely not to Joe Clark.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Sage: Gabe, are you there? It's Constance. It's serious. Come home right now.", "Adam: I am home.", "Jack: Hey. Everything all right?", "Phyllis: Yeah.", "Jack: Something about Faith?", "Phyllis: Just Daniel checking in. I didn't tell him about Faith. There's nothing he can do from so far away.", "Jack: Yeah, it is nerve-racking, that fear for a child.", "Phyllis: But that is not why you pulled out those documents about Connor's guardianship. You didn't know about Faith until I came home. Why don't you tell me what's going on with you.", "Jack: I don't know. It's the season. A year ago this time... Adam's car went into that embankment. So many things have happened. You're back.", "Phyllis: Yes. I am. And I am never going anywhere again ever. But Adam -- he's not coming back.", "Summer: Look, I know that kids are awhile off for us, but...just when I think about Faith and Daniel and Noah and I and how we were bounced around from this house to that parent. I know it's kind of normal now. Like, half the kids I know went through it, but it can be really confusing and exhausting when your parents are constantly at each other's throats.", "Austin: Hey, hey, hey. That won't be us.", "Summer: How can you be sure?", "Austin: Because I know. Okay, maybe other people... but, baby, never us.", "Nick: Nothing from the Beemans.", "Sharon: Or the Chens.", "Nick: [Sighs] [Chuckles] Do you remember the first time I put Faith on ice skates?", "Sharon: Once around and she was ready for hot chocolate.", "Nick: But not hot.", "Sharon: No. Cold hot chocolate.", "Nick: But not chocolate milk. Just... cold hot chocolate. She was very specific about that.", "Sharon: Nick, I can't -- I can't do it. I can't do it again. File away memories like we had to with Cassie. [Voice breaking] Faith has to be okay.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Avery: The bike's here. Faith's not.", "Dylan: Something's not right.", "Avery: Yeah, I'm gonna call Nick.", "Victor: Have a good reason to ask me to come out here? I do.", "Constance: Victor Newman killed your father." ]

[ "Jill was concerned when she realized Billy would be alone for Christmas Eve, but he insisted that he'd be fine. Barry gave Jack a large donation for the Abbott-Winters Foundation. Lily tricked Barry into telling her that Hilary never planned to take a job on another show. Hilary and Devon came to a deal about GC Buzz that they were both happy about. She'd come back to the show in exchange for full control, an executive producer's title and a competitive salary. They shared a kiss after their agreement. Jill, Neil, Cane, Lily and the twins celebrated Christmas Eve with Devon and Hilary at their penthouse. Lily was angry when she found out Devon rehired Hilary. Lily told Devon what Barry said. Jack approached Phyllis and tried to strike up a chat about her holiday plans. She was distant with him. He was shocked when Phyllis said she was ready to leave Jabot. Ashley, Billy and Traci had a joyous celebration at the Abbott Mansion until Jack arrived and kicked Billy out. Billy ended up alone at the Athletic Club bar, while his siblings had Christmas Eve dinner at the family home. Lauren and Michael hid their dismay when Gloria announced that she planned to stay in their spare bedroom. Gloria unsuccessfully tried to convince Lauren and Michael to help her break up Chloe and Kevin. Lauren hired Phyllis to help her out with Fenmore's. Chloe and Kevin shared some happy moments with Bella. Kevin urged Gloria to give Bella and Chloe a chance. Gloria wasn't interested, and Chloe told Kevin not to waste his breath asking Gloria to do something she didn't want to do. Michael engineered a warm interaction between Bella and Gloria, which gave Kevin hope.", "" ]

[ "Hilary: Devon.", "Devon: Wow. Wow, wow.", "Hilary: I'm glad you like it.", "Devon: Like it?", "Hilary: Well, I just -- I want to make sure that everything is gonna be perfect for our first Christmas Eve in our brand-new place.", "Devon: You keep calling it our place. It doesn't feel like home yet, hon?", "Hilary: Well, it's gonna take a little getting used to. The move happened so fast.", "Devon: Yeah, but our suite at the club always felt temporary to me. This is -- this is real, you know? It's permanent. We can start an amazing life here together.", "Hilary: Yeah, I hope so.", "Devon: What do you mean, you hope so? What does that mean?", "Hilary: Devon, you need to accept that I am determined to build a dynamic career for myself, wherever that leads me.", "Devon: Okay, but where, uh, where exactly do you plan on having it lead you? Away from me? Away from here? You gonna go to new York or L.A.? Honey? Are you, by any chance, considering taking one of those new job offers you got?", "Hilary: Hmm, well, what if I am?", "Devon: What if you are? You know what I want for Christmas this year? Just one thing. I want you to come back to the GC buzz.", "Hilary: Oh. Well, if that's true, you're gonna need to talk to my agent. [Chuckles]", "Jack: Barry, I knew things were going well. This donation is substantial.", "Barry: Happy to help. It's a worthy cause.", "Jack: Well, this check will go a long way toward helping our foundation's New Year's Eve celebration be a great success.", "Barry: Glad you're impressed. So, between that check and helping out your friend Hilary, I'm hoping that that favor I owed you has been fully repaid.", "Jack: And you would be right, though I think I did you a favor introducing you to Hilary. Talented woman, isn't she?", "Barry: She is. Her looks, her style. You know, she could really take off.", "Lily: Jack.", "Jack: Hey. How are you, Lily?", "Lily: Good. I just want to tell you I'm really excited about the benefit next week.", "Jack: Thank you for all you've done. I know it has been a good bit of help.", "Lily: Yeah, well, I felt bad that we couldn't host the event here, so my dad kind of guilted me into working for him. But I'm happy to do it, though.", "Jack: Well, we're happy to have you onboard.", "Lily: Yeah, thank you. Well, merry Christmas.", "Jack: And merry Christmas to you, and to cane and the kids.", "Lily: [Chuckles] Thanks.", "Barry: So, you got any plans for the holidays?", "Jack: Oh, uh, playing it pretty low-key this year. Gonna be at home with my... my family.", "Jill: [Sighs]", "Billy: Hey, mom.", "Jill: Oh, ho, ho.", "Billy: You're, uh, leaving it till the last second to get your shopping done, aren't you?", "Jill: I'm telling you, I am a woman on a mission.", "Billy: Taking on the hordes of people running down the aisles, looking for last-minute gifts? You're brave.", "Jill: I will trample and trounce anybody who tries to get in between me and the perfect gift for my grandchildren.", "Billy: [Chuckles]", "Jill: [Sighs] By the way, these are all wrapped and ready to go for you to take to Katie and Johnny.", "Billy: Okay, good. It's gonna have to wait till tomorrow, though.", "Jill: Honey, it's Christmas Eve.", "Billy: Yes, I know, but it's Victoria's day with the kids.", "Jill: What?!", "Billy: Look, if I can deal with it, so can you.", "Jill: Listen to me. That is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. Neither you nor Victoria have a significant other right now, so do the sensible thing and come together for Christmas for your children.", "Billy: We are divorced, okay? We're doing things separately.", "Jill: I don't want you to be alone tonight.", "Billy: I'm fine with it.", "Jill: Well, I am most certainly not fine with it.", "Traci: Here you go.", "Ashley: Thank you.", "Traci: Here. Uh, what do you think? Maybe we should turn on some Christmas carols, huh?", "Ashley: Do you think it'll help?", "Traci: Got to do something to make it feel like Christmas Eve around here.", "Ashley: Okay. Christmas carols, here we come.", "Traci: Okay. It seems kind of strange, doesn't it?", "Ashley: Hmm?", "Traci: Just the two of us and Jack.", "[\"Jingle Bells\" plays]", "Ashley: Yeah, Abby's with the Newmans this year. She said that she'll be here in spirit. Does it count?", "Traci: [Chuckles] No.", "Ashley: [Laughs] I know.", "Traci: And what about Billy?", "Ashley: He's keeping his distance. Who can blame him? Every time he reaches out, Jack just shuts him down.", "Traci: I can completely sympathize with Jack. I mean it. But...[Sighs] To push it to the point of forcing brash & sassy out of the jabot building by the end of the year -- I mean, what is the rush?", "Ashley: Well, he says it's expansion, you know? He's making a play for Fenmore's. Whatever.", "Traci: Well, that's a calculated business move, but the eviction? It's a personal attack on Billy, and this is the time of year we should be coming together.", "Ashley: Makes me miss dad more than ever.", "Traci: Yeah, me, too. Dad always taught us that Christmas was a time for hope.", "Ashley: Yeah.", "Traci: And he always said, \"just because things are bad...\" [Chuckles] Come on.", "Ashley: [Laughs]", "Traci: Finish it.", "Ashley: Just because things are bad doesn't mean they won't get better in time.", "Traci: Because we're Abbotts, and we never give up on our own. [Chuckles] We miss you, Daddy.", "Ashley: We miss you, Daddy. Hey jingle bells, jingle bells", "Gloria: Oh, I wish you could have been here to experience it firsthand, fen. It was dazzling. Your grandmother popping out of a box. [Laughs] Best Christmas present ever.", "Michael: I told you. All is come, all is bright situation contained.", "Lauren: [Laughs] Yeah. For the moment. That's because Chloe and Gloria are on opposite sides of the room.", "Michael: Hmm.", "Gloria: [Laughs] Love you, too. I love my grandson.", "Michael: Aww. We're fond of him, too.", "Lauren: Yes.", "Gloria: I think I'm gonna go freshen up, get a second wind. Quite a journey from France.", "Lauren: [Chuckles] You must be exhausted traveling all those miles...in a box.", "[Both laugh]", "Michael: Well, listen, let us know when. We'll get a car service to drop you at the hotel.", "Gloria: Hotel? It's Christmas Eve, Michael. Don't be silly. I came all this way to be with family.", "Michael: Meaning?", "Gloria: I'm going to stay with you and Lauren for as long as you'll have me.", "Jill: I wish I hadn't made these other plans now. I'm going over to join the festivities at Devon's new place with cane and Lily and the kids.", "Billy: Well, have fun. I'm more than capable of spending that on my own.", "Jill: Yeah, but it's Christmas Eve. Why don't you come with me?", "Billy: I need you to understand something, okay? That's not where I want to be right now.", "Jill: If you will not go over to Victoria's, there might be something else familial you can do, somewhere else you could go.", "Billy: Don't even ask me to try and figure it out with Jack, okay?", "Jill: Oh, please. Jack. I wouldn't even ask you to offer an olive branch to that idiot, the way he's behaving right now.", "Billy: Okay. I like that.", "Jill: And Ashley is on jack's team.", "Billy: Okay, mom, listen.", "Jill: But Traci -- you could spend the night with Traci.", "Billy: Mom.", "Jill: Traci would never want you to be out in the cold on the holidays.", "Billy: You're right. It's the holidays, okay? So don't get all worked up. You should be in a good mood. I want to hear your -- your holiday cheer.", "Jill: I am in a good mood. Traci is the solution here.", "Billy: Both of my sisters already reached out to me, okay?", "Jill: They did?", "Billy: [Chuckles]", "Jill: They did.", "Billy: Yes, they did. They did, okay? Ashley is not happy with the way Jack is acting, and of course Traci, who's got the biggest heart in the world.", "Jill: So, honey, call them, okay? Go on over there.", "Billy: I'm not gonna do that, okay? I'm not gonna act like my big brother and make them choose sides on Christmas. Everybody else is all caught between Jack and me, and I don't want to make things harder for them.", "Jack: Just thought I'd say hello.", "Phyllis: Hello. Surprised to see you here on Christmas Eve.", "Jack: Yeah, I'm headed home now. How about you? I assumed you'd be with summer.", "Phyllis: Oh, lucky girl. She is actually in Belize with a couple of friends. It was a birthday present from nick and me.", "Jack: Lucky girl. Then you're...", "Phyllis: Alone, yes.", "Jack: And later?", "Phyllis: Later I am heading to Michael and Lauren's, and I do have plans, Jack, even if they aren't with... even if they're different this year.", "Jack: Hard to believe that was a year ago, the two of us up at the cabin alone before my family surprised us with a visit.", "Phyllis: And now we have moved on. So looking back doesn't make any sense, right? Not even at Christmas.", "Lily: Hi. I didn't get to meet you before. I'm Lily Ashby. I'm the manager of this club, and I saw you come in here before with my sister-in-law, Hilary?", "Barry: That's right. Pleasure to meet you, Lily.", "Lily: Yeah, you, too. You're Barry, right, her new agent?", "Barry: I am her agent, but I'm definitely not new. Been doing this for quite some time, which is why you look familiar to me. Weren't you a model?", "Lily: Wow. I was a model. [Chuckles] A long time ago. You do know your business.", "Barry: I try.", "Lily: [Chuckles] May I sit?", "Barry: Please. Absolutely.", "Lily: So, um, I know that Hilary is very enthusiastic about where her career could go from here.", "Barry: She's been talking to you about it?", "Lily: Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, we chat. We have a lot to say to each other.", "Barry: Mm-hmm.", "Lily: So, please. Tell me. What are your plans on making my sister-in-law a big star?", "Hilary: Your family is gonna be here any minute, and I don't want to be in the middle of an argument when they get here.", "Devon: Well, I don't want to be in the middle of the party and have this be unsettled.", "Hilary: It's settled.", "Devon: Sweetheart, I am not going to talk to your agent, okay? I want to speak to my wife.", "Hilary: See? That right there, that is the problem. You only see me as your wife, not as an individual who has her own professional goals.", "Devon: That's not true.", "Hilary: [Scoffs] I disagreed with you, and what did you do? You fired me.", "Devon: Because we had different visions where the show was concerned.", "Hilary: Then why would you even want me back?", "Devon: Because you're a fantastic host. You light up in front of the camera. The audience responds to you.", "Hilary: And? Go ahead, go ahead. Keep -- keep the compliments coming.", "Devon: And I love working with you.", "Hilary: When I agree with you.", "Devon: No. Hilary.", "Hilary: Yes.", "Devon: This is not about you agreeing with me, okay? This is about you and me putting out something that we can both be proud of.", "Hilary: I want that, too. I do.", "Devon: Then what's the problem?", "Hilary: Well, I also want a show that people will watch, okay? Devon, what good is all of that hard work if nobody's gonna see it?", "Devon: I hear you. We will find middle ground.", "Hilary: If you trust me.", "Devon: You know I trust you.", "Hilary: You have to trust me to make my own decisions, Devon. The show needs to be mine. I need to control the stories, and I need to have a title that makes my position clear. And I want a salary, the type of salary that the other production companies were willing to offer me, because this is about my value and my merit. So, you want me? That's what it's gonna take to keep me.", "Michael: Is this okay with you? Honey, is that okay? Gloria staying with us?", "Gloria: Of course it is, because Lauren loves me. Don't you, Lauren?", "Lauren: [Chuckles] Nobody is more extraordinary than you, Gloria.", "Gloria: Thank you. You know me so well. And now that we're going to be roomies, you're going to discover more about me.", "Lauren: I'll bet. I'll bet, I'll bet.", "Gloria: [Chuckles]", "Lauren: Honey? Honey. Now.", "Michael: You can use Fenmore's room.", "Gloria: Excellent. That's settled. Now what are we gonna do about that? Oh, come on. I know you two are as worried as I am about how Chloe's taking advantage of Kevin.", "Lauren: We're very supportive of their relationship.", "Gloria: Oh, please. Do not say that is so.", "Michael: Kevin is very happy to be back together with Chloe. They're good for each other.", "Lauren: That's right. And he went in with his eyes open. Chloe, from moment one, told him that Bella was not his daughter.", "Michael: [Chuckles] It's Kevin's life, Gloria. He gets to decide how he wants to live it.", "Gloria: So when your darling son decides to move in with a crazy woman and her fatherless child, only to get his heart decimated, you tell me how you feel. So never mind about my maternal concerns. Never let it be said that this glorious Grinch was the one who ruined the night before Christmas.", "Lily: I know that Hilary is thrilled to have you as her agent and all of those job opportunities.", "Barry: I can line up any number of jobs for Hilary -- entertainment, news. She'd kill on cable.", "Lily: Oh, yeah, I agree with you. And I'm sure she would love to shine on a bigger stage.", "Barry: Probably, but marriage is a pretty tricky business, especially if your husband is also your boss.", "Lily: Yeah, Hilary and I talked about that, how it might benefit her to distance herself from Devon.", "Barry: I wish she still felt that way. It seems that your sister-in-law only wanted me to prove a point to her husband, make him see her value. She doesn't have plans to make any moves anytime soon.", "Lily: Right. It's smart. Um, so she allowed Devon to think that she had all these offers, but...", "Barry: That is the art of negotiation. She seems to love him very much.", "Devon: I never want you to question your worth.", "Hilary: I know that you say that, but...", "Devon: No, no. No buts. No buts. Um, I don't want to lose you. So I'm gonna make you a deal. If you agree to come back, the show is yours. Completely. And I mean it. The title, money, complete control over every story you tell.", "Hilary: [Sighs] Devon, that's -- that's all that I want.", "Devon: With that being said, you know the standards that I want to uphold, okay? So no more, uh, \"creative editing\" and no more slander, because if you keep going down that road, there will be a lot of people with their lawyers lined up waiting to make sure we don't have a show anymore.", "Hilary: You have my word. Can I kiss you now?", "Devon: Yeah, by all means, please. I know we've both made mistakes, and I really hope that moving forward we can, uh, do it with a little bit more respect for each other.", "Hilary: We will. We will. We most definitely will.", "Devon: Well, welcome back.", "Hilary: [Laughs]", "[Doorbell rings]", "Devon: Oh, geez.", "Hilary: Well, let's get this party started, shall we?", "Devon: No, no. Yeah, okay. Let's do it. [Sighs]", "Hilary: [Squeals]", "Devon: [Chuckles] Who is it?", "Neil: Hey, hey.", "Devon: Hey!", "Hilary: Merry Christmas, Neil!", "Neil: Merry Christmas! Santa Claus has arrived.", "Devon: How are you, dad?", "Neil: Good, good. Well, happy faces. Aren't you both in the holiday spirit.", "Hilary: Never better. [Chuckles]", "Jack: Well, have a nice holiday. I guess I'll see you at the office next week.", "Phyllis: Will you?", "Jack: What does that mean?", "Phyllis: Well, you've been trying to oust me from the company for months. I thought maybe giving me a boot just before Christmas would give you some sort of joy.", "Jack: You almost look as if you're disappointed I didn't fire you.", "Phyllis: Well, I know it's coming. I just think maybe I'm hoping for you to put me out of my misery.", "Jack: And what about your threat to sue me for half my share in the company if I did fire you?", "Phyllis: Oh, Jack, you knew that was never gonna happen.", "Jack: What about this new project of yours you seem so excited about, excited about working at jabot again? You really willing to walk away from that?", "Phyllis: I am. I am very excited about this new project, and I am not excited about working for jabot.", "Jack: Then you did want to get fired. Um... wow. You're looking elsewhere? I mean, have you found another position?", "Phyllis: No. It's just time. It's what you wanted. Ashley's gonna be thrilled I'm gone.", "Jack: You're really to the point where you're ready to walk away?", "Phyllis: You were right. It's what's best for both of us. Merry Christmas, Jack.", "Jack: Merry Christmas.", "[Upbeat music playing]", "[Traci and Ashley laugh]", "Traci: Whoo! [Laughs] Oh.", "[Laughter]", "Ashley: Mrs. Martinez.", "Traci: Oh, so sorry about the noise. We were -- we were just --", "Mrs. Martinez: Dancing like you used to. It's so fun. [Laughs] Still only three for dinner?", "Traci: Yes, unfortunately.", "Mrs. Martinez: Ay.", "Ashley: [Chuckles]", "Traci: Well, you heard the lady. Crank it up.", "[Doorbell rings]", "Ashley: Oh. Annoyed neighbor? Oh! Billy! Billy!", "Billy: Hey.", "Traci: Oh, you came!", "Billy: I did. Just long enough to -- mwah -- drop off some presents before Jack comes downstairs.", "Ashley: He's not home.", "Billy: What?", "Ashley: He's not home!", "Billy: Well, in that case... ohhh, my goodness. Cookies and homemade fudge.", "Ashley: Yeah.", "Billy: Wow, it actually feels like Christmas in here.", "[Clears throat]", "Ashley: Hey.", "Billy: All right. Hold on a second here. Priorities.", "Ashley: Yep, go ahead.", "Traci: Yeah, that's right. [Laughs]", "Ashley: [Laughs]", "Billy: Mmm.", "Traci: Well?", "Ashley: Right?", "Billy: Mm. Where is Mrs. Martinez?", "Traci: [Laughs]", "Billy: Look at you!", "Mrs. Martinez: My little Billy! Mwah!", "Billy: You made all my favorites!", "Mrs. Martinez: My present to you. This family is so generous to me and my children.", "Billy: Well, you tell those children they have the best mom in the world and they better take care of you this Christmas. Here. This is for you.", "Mrs. Martinez: Oh!", "Billy: From me.", "Mrs. Martinez: Oh! [Sobs quietly]", "Traci: [Chuckles]", "Billy: I didn't mean to make her cry.", "Ashley: Yeah, I've heard that before.", "Traci: Happy tears, though, Billy.", "Billy: Happy tears? Well, in that case, give me some presents.", "Ashley: Right.", "Billy: Here. [Clears throat] Okay.", "Ashley: [Sighs]", "Billy: Um, ash.", "Ashley: Oh, it's a big one.", "Billy: This one's you, Traci.", "Traci: Thank you. And here's your giant gift from us.", "Billy: Socks?", "Traci: Big box. [Laughs]", "Billy: And here, this is for, uh, for Abby. We can just stuff that under the tree.", "Ashley: Oh, that was sweet of you.", "Traci: Anything for Jack?", "Billy: Yeah, I got him something, but I, uh, I'll just hold on to it for now.", "Ashley: Oh, that was really nice of you.", "Billy: Did you think I was gonna miss Christmas Eve with my sisters? Come on. Just because my brother's a tyrant and he hates me.", "Ashley: He doesn't hate you, Billy.", "Billy: Hey, no lying in front of the Christmas tree, okay? It's bad luck. [Sighs] Okay. I should get going.", "Ashley: No.", "Traci: Oh, no, no, no, no. Not yet, not yet, not yet.", "Ashley: You have to stay at least so we can open our presents.", "Billy: I don't think we should.", "Traci: Please. Just stay long enough to spend some time with your sisters on Christmas Eve. Please?", "[Chuckles]", "Billy: [Chuckles]", "Kevin: [Laughs]", "Bella: [Giggles]", "Lauren: Listen, honey, uh, hang in there where Gloria's concerned.", "Chloe: Ugh. I feel like I should be telling you that. I don't know which is worse -- her giving me the stink eye or her loving you so much that she wants to move in with you.", "Lauren: Oh, well, that's a good point. Trade ya. [Laughs] Come on.", "Chloe: Fat chance. I think Kevin and I are finally ahead on that one.", "Lauren: Uh-huh.", "Kevin: Well, it's a bummer that fen and Scotty couldn't join us.", "Michael: Ah, well, maybe we'll all be together next year, but I'm gonna make sure Lauren sees them soon! She misses her boys, doesn't she? Mwah!", "Kevin: Hey, is fen still planning on doing the whole lawyer thing?", "Michael: Yeah, it's looking that way.", "Kevin: Wow. That's impressive. He's really turned his life around.", "Michael: And so have you. I mean, think about where you come from. You work for the police.", "Kevin: Right? Who'd have thunk the two of us, given where we came from, that we would end up on the side of law and order?", "Michael: Oh, not me. Come here, you little scamp. Ohh! Man, I'm thankful for it. And I'm happy for you. In a serious relationship again and getting to look after this little cutie here. Mwah!", "Bella: [Giggles]", "Michael: [Sighs] [Groans] I'm sorry Gloria's giving Chloe such a hard time.", "Kevin: I'm not Bella's dad. Chloe's been honest about everything. I don't understand why mom doesn't get that.", "Michael: All right, just give her some time to warm up to the situation.", "Jill: Wow, Devon. Oh, this place is spectacular.", "Devon: Thank you, Jill. We like it.", "Jill: And what a lovely holiday party. Thank you for including me.", "Hilary: Well, we thought it would be a nice gesture.", "Jill: Ohh, Hilary, Hilary, Hilary. Somehow I doubt you turned to your husband and said, \"Devon, sweetie, let's include Jill for Christmas Eve.\"", "Hilary: True.", "Neil: Hey, uh, Devon. I'm looking around here, and I know you're enjoying this place 'cause there's nothing like having a place you can call your own.", "Devon: I couldn't agree with you more, man.", "Hilary: And we have really big plans not just for this apartment but for the whole building.", "Jill: The whole building, Devon?", "Hilary: Yeah. Devon didn't tell you? Well, we bought the entire place from the developer.", "Neil: Wow.", "Devon: It's a good investment.", "Neil: Yeah. Putting down some serious roots here, ain't you?", "Cane: All right. Who's ready for Santa?!", "Mattie: Me!", "Cane: [Laughs]", "Mattie: I'm gonna stay up all night to see him!", "Charlie: And the reindeer, too!", "Cane: And the reindeer? Huh? Yeah?", "Lily: Hey.", "Cane: Hey, mommy's here!", "Lily: Hi! I'm sorry I'm late, you guys. Hi.", "Cane: I missed you, baby.", "Lily: Hey, everyone. Merry Christmas.", "Devon: Merry Christmas. Hey, Lily. Make yourself at home.", "Billy: Do you like them? Do you like your presents?", "Ashley: Of course.", "Traci: Absolutely.", "Billy: Yeah? Are you lying? Are you glad I put the gift receipts in there?", "Ashley: Absolutely.", "Traci: Yes, we are.", "[Laughter]", "Billy: Well, I'm not returning this. It's perfect. It's exactly what I wanted. It's beautiful.", "Traci: Oh, Billy, we got exactly what we wanted, too. [Chuckles] We got to spend some time with you today.", "Ashley: Aren't you glad you hung around? You could open up your great gift.", "Billy: Yeah, I am. I mean, you know, to spend time with my sisters in this beautiful place on Christmas Eve.", "Traci: Do you remember all the Christmases when you were a little boy?", "Billy: Oh, gosh, yeah.", "Traci: [Chuckles]", "Billy: Running up the stairs as soon as the sun set.", "Ashley: That's because you wanted to get to sleep as early as you could so that Christmas morning would come sooner.", "Traci: [Laughs]", "Billy: Come running down the stairs, dad behind me snapping photos, laughing.", "Ashley: Never, ever wanted to miss you opening up your presents, not once.", "Billy: So many fantastic Christmas memories in here. Thank you for adding another one today, tonight.", "Traci: [Voice breaking] Billy, have a cookie.", "[Both laugh]", "Ashley: I might have a cookie.", "Traci: Have another cookie before I lose it. [Laughs]", "Billy: I got to say, cookies, fudge, laughs, love -- it's not what I expected this year.", "[Door opens]", "Billy: I think most people would say all I deserve is a lump of coal --", "Jack: Did you not get the message the last time you stopped by here?", "Billy: You mean when you changed the locks on the front door?", "Jack: You're not welcome here.", "Billy: I just came to bring some Christmas presents for my sisters, Jack.", "Jack: You all had some time together. So --", "Traci: Jack.", "Ashley: This is insane.", "Traci: Can't you and Billy just have a cease fire long enough to get through Christmas Eve dinner?", "Ashley: One meal. Just a couple of hours, Jackie? Can't you manage that for Traci and me, who just want us to be together as a family so we can remember what this holiday is for?", "Billy: Thank you. I'm sorry, but I, uh, I don't think that's gonna happen. [Sighs] Bye. Thank you very much. I love you. Bye.", "[Door opens]", "[Door closes]", "Ashley: Have you nothing to say for yourself?", "Jack: Wow. Something smells amazing, Mrs. Martinez.", "Michael: Merry chri-- oh, my gosh! I love the new look. Mwah!", "Phyllis: Thank you.", "Michael: It suits you.", "Phyllis: Thank you. Whoo, looks like someone started the party early.", "Michael: Well...", "Chloe: Hey.", "Phyllis: Hi, guys.", "Chloe: Merry Christmas!", "Michael: It's quite the Christmas Eve we're having.", "Phyllis: Hmm.", "Lauren: Hi, sweetie!", "Phyllis: Hey!", "Michael: Look who's here!", "Phyllis: Here she is. Hey, did fen come home?", "Lauren: Uh, not this year, but I am planning a sit-in in his apartment for valentine's day.", "Phyllis: [Laughs]", "Michael: Well, we did get a, uh, surprise visit this year.", "Lauren: Yes, we did.", "Phyllis: Gloria! Holy -- wow. You're back.", "Gloria: And your hair looks fabulous! Oh, maybe I need to switch it up a little bit. Bet you had one of those \"wash that man right out of my hair\" moments. Ah, but which man was it? Billy or Jack?", "Lauren: Honey, come help me in the kitchen.", "Chloe: You know that Santa is going to come soon on his sleigh. Yes, he is! I know, I'm as excited as you are.", "Kevin: It's gonna be a really, really special Christmas.", "Chloe: [Sighs]", "Bella: Whee!", "Both: Whee!", "Chloe: There he goes! Well, this is the first time that we're gonna wake up together. We're gonna have a real traditional Christmas morning.", "Bella: Whee, whee!", "Chloe: [Laughs] You know, I mean, I'll have you take a million photos --", "Bella: Christmas, Christmas!", "Chloe: Christmas business!", "Kevin: [Chuckles]", "Chloe: A million photos because I'm gonna cherish every one of these moments.", "Lauren: So, honey, you know, I've been wondering how long is it gonna be till you finish developing that online strategy for Fenmore's we were talking about? I-I want it up and running really, really fast.", "Phyllis: Things are coming along.", "Lauren: Good.", "Phyllis: Yeah, I think you're gonna have something in about a month or two.", "Lauren: A month?", "Phyllis: Mm-hmm.", "Lauren: Can we expedite that or...?", "Phyllis: Well, uh, things could speed up considerably if I actually worked for you full time.", "Lauren: You would leave jabot?", "Phyllis: Lauren, look, I'd like to get out of there before Jack tosses me out on my butt. He's on a tear. He wants to get rid of brash & sassy, and there is no doubt I'm gonna be next.", "Lauren: But I thought you wanted to fight for him.", "Phyllis: Ooh, I fought. I fought and I lost. And I am done fighting. And I am done being the masochist. And you can only beat your head up against a wall so long.", "Lauren: That's true.", "Phyllis: Yeah.", "Lauren: You sure you're over it?", "Phyllis: Yeah. I am. In fact, I told Jack I hope to be on my way soon. So, if you want me, I'm all yours.", "Lauren: Are you kidding?", "Phyllis: Nope.", "Lauren: Yes!", "Phyllis: [Laughs]", "Lauren: Deal!", "Phyllis: Yay.", "Lauren: Oh, my gosh.", "Phyllis: Good.", "Gloria: What?", "Kevin: You know it doesn't have to be like this, right? Chloe over there, you over here and this big, dumb wall separating all of us.", "Gloria: Stop it. I've been civil. And if you have a problem with that, why don't you just go back over there and talk to everyone's favorite unwed mother?", "Kevin: Look, I need you to accept that I am committed to Chloe and Bella. I don't understand why that's so hard for you.", "Gloria: You don't even know --", "Kevin: Mom, listen. Listen to me. I love that little girl like she's my own, which means that you would be like a grandmother to her, a very young and beautiful grandmother.", "Gloria: You don't even know who the father is, Kevin.", "Chloe: Gloria. You have made your position perfectly clear. And thankfully Bella already has a grandmother, and her name is Esther. And she is happy to spend Christmas with us, so please, Kevin, do not waste your breath asking Gloria for something she obviously does not want to give.", "Jill: Oh, look at that.", "Cane: So... you do realize that you can't stop staring at Hilary.", "Lily: I'm not staring.", "Cane: Yes, you are.", "Lily: No, I'm not. I'm just wondering what changed. Because last time I heard, Devon told me that she wasn't even speaking to him.", "Cane: Well, maybe they made up.", "Lily: Yeah, and then some. They're acting like they're newlyweds or something. And look, he buys her a penthouse?", "Cane: Lily Ashby, you sound like you're jealous.", "Lily: No, I'm nauseous, because I'm hoping there's an end to it. He has to draw a line somewhere, right?", "Cane: Well, uh, I know you don't like this woman, but it is her house and it's Christmas, so please don't make a scene.", "Lily: I'm not gonna make a scene, but I will never forgive or forget what she has done to our family.", "Cane: And I don't blame you and understand, okay?", "Charlie: Mom, dad!", "Cane: Hey!", "Mattie: When are we going to the concert in the park?", "Cane: You want to go to the park now? Why?", "Mattie: We found the presents aunt Hilary and uncle Devon got us.", "Charlie: And there's one for Moses, too.", "Neil: There is. He'll love that. I'll be sure to give it to him tomorrow.", "Charlie: Can we open them now?", "Mattie: Please?", "Lily: We said that we would keep the presents under the tree until tomorrow morning, remember?", "Jill: That's right. We should always stick to the rules, shouldn't we? But there is one little known exception, and that's when you have a favorite grandma and she brings presents on Christmas Eve. They're Christmas Eve presents, and you can open them on Christmas Eve. [Laughs] So run over there and get the bags I showed you. Okay. Quick like bunnies. Sorry.", "Cane: It's all right.", "Neil: Hey, there. I don't mean to put you on the spot, but, um, just checking in to see if you're still gonna host our New Year's Eve benefit.", "Hilary: Yeah, I would never let you and Jack down, and I've been helping with the planning for weeks. Why would you think that I wouldn't be there?", "Neil: I don't know, I heard you found yourself an agent. You trying to broaden your career?", "Hilary: Yes, that -- that is true. But the benefit is very important to me, and I would never turn my back on the foundation.", "Neil: That's good to hear. I'm real glad that we're still on your agenda.", "Devon: About that, actually. Hey, could I get everyone's attention? I, uh, I just want to say thank you all for being here. I really appreciate it. This is definitely the first of many holiday parties we will be throwing for our friends and family. And I have some exciting news to share. Hilary will be coming back to the GC buzz as our host, but also as our executive producer, and I'm very happy about that.", "Neil: Wow. That's wonderful news.", "Cane: Well, congratulations, Hilary.", "Chloe: I'm sorry if I made you and everyone uncomfortable, but I refuse to let Gloria look down on me and my daughter.", "Bella: [Gibberish] Chocolate.", "Michael: Gloria, Bella wants to give you this. Yay!", "Gloria: Thank you, sweetie.", "Kevin: Well, it's a start.", "Chloe: Well, she is being nice to a sweet, little girl. How could she not?", "Kevin: That is not just any little girl. It's Bella, and she's irresistible.", "Chloe: You're right. She is.", "Michael: You did a great job! Look, everybody, come here! Come here! I think Bella has just shown us the true meaning of Christmas, and I want to thank you 'cause you're the best! -- Mwah! -- The best baby ever! And I would like -- glasses, everyone.", "Lauren: Okay.", "Michael: [Sighs] I would like to wish a very merry Christmas -- ooh! -- To each and every one of you, and especially you.", "Lauren: Aww.", "Michael: Mwah.", "Lauren: And you!", "Kevin: Merry Christmas.", "Chloe: Merry Christmas.", "Lauren: Merry Christmas.", "Michael: Merry Christmas, darling.", "Chloe: Merry Christmas, baby!", "Michael: [Chuckles]", "Jill: This looks really interesting, but I think we should open it at home. There's a lot of pieces.", "Cane: It doesn't take batteries.", "Jill: It doesn't take batteries, which is much more educational.", "Lily: Hey.", "Devon: Hey.", "Lily: What, uh, happened to you standing your ground, not letting Hilary back on the show?", "Devon: I obviously changed my mind. And I don't really appreciate you approaching me like this at our party. We talked it through.", "Lily: You mean you were afraid that she would go elsewhere so you gave in. You know she had no intention of leaving GC buzz, right?", "Devon: She very well could have. She, uh, had plenty of other job offers, and she has a talent agent.", "Lily: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Her agent is legit. Hilary is the one who's a phony.", "Devon: Excuse me?", "Lily: I hate to tell you this, but all of her \"job offers\" were a ploy.", "Devon: And what do you mean?", "Lily: She used that agent to manipulate you to get everything that she wanted.", "Devon: Lily, stop this, please.", "Lily: I talked to the agent. His name is Barry. He told me everything.", "Devon: What exactly did Barry tell you?", "Lily: He told me that he thinks that she has serious potential but that she wasn't interested in any job offers. All she wanted to do was make you grovel. Devon, I'm sorry, but she played you again, just like she always does.", "[Indistinct conversations]", "Jack: Look, I know we don't always see eye to eye.", "Ashley: Thanks.", "Jack: And I know sometimes I, uh, I make it pretty difficult for both of you. But I love you very much. And you have no idea how much it means to me that you're spending this holiday with me.", "Ashley: We love you, too, Jack.", "Traci: I would like to pray before we eat. Thank you for the many ways in which we are blessed this Christmas Eve. For those who are no longer with us, know that you are in our hearts and our memories. For those who simply couldn't join us, know that we are thinking of you, and whether we are together or apart, we will always be family.", "Ashley: Amen.", "Jack: Amen.", "Billy: [Sighs]", "[NEXT_ON]", "Connor: Merry Christmas.", "Victor: Merry Christmas to you, young man!", "Jill: You belong with your kids.", "Billy: I was actually hoping for a Christmas miracle. O Christmas tree Such joy you bring" ]

[ "Jill griped at Esther for making heart-healthy Christmas Eve menu. Charlie decided to celebrate with Cane at the Chancellor house instead of with Lily, Devon and Mattie at the Club. Phyllis and Billy weren't eager to spend the evening with the warring Abbotts or the critical Jill. Billy decided to visit Jill on his own and meet Phyllis at the Abbott's later, to spare her from doing two celebrations. Charlie gave Cane a gift from Lily – a baby blanket. Charlie gave Lily a book about Paris, which stirred up memories about her wedding to Cane. Mattie had conflicting feelings about Cane; she was angry, but she missed him. Cane called Lily to thank her, but she didn't know what he meant. Charlie admitted he'd given them the gifts to get them talking. Charlie asked Jill not to sell Chancellor. Esther was shocked about Jill's plans for Katherine's company, and they bickered. Billy spent time with Jill and was pleased she didn't lecture him. Paul and Christine suspected that Victor blackmailed Nikki into taking him back. They offered her immunity if she could tie Victor to the sex ring. Nikki stormed off. Paul followed Nikki and urged her to let him save her from Victor.", "Tensions ran high at the Abbott dinner; Dina insulted Hilary and Phyllis, Jack accused Ashley of getting him ousted from the CEO's seat because she wanted the job for herself. Ashley and Abby admonished Jack for making the celebration awkward. Traci took up for Jack. Dina asked what was going on, and Ashley told her the truth. The dinner fizzled after Dina accused the others of stabbing Jack in the back. Traci left because she blamed Ashley for adding to the drama by telling Dina the truth. Hilary ended up at the Club and accepted Devon's invitation to join them for dessert. Phyllis tracked Jack down. He admitted he was considering doing something extreme to Ashley. Phyllis urged him to think of the consequences before he acted. Phyllis and Billy had a private romantic evening in front of their fireplace. Jill and Devon combined their celebrations, so that the Ashbys ended up together. Cane and Lily hugged as they listened to Tessa sing Christmas songs. Ashley took Dina's advice and tried to make amends with Jack. Jack revealed that he'd added an amendment to Jabot's bylaws stating that only blood Abbotts could be CEO. Hurt and furious, Ashley slapped Jack.", "" ]

[ "[PREVIOUSLY_ON]", "Jill: Home for the holidays!", "Victoria: Obviously paul and christine are making this number one priority.", "Nikki: You and I both know that victor would never have anything to do with a sex trafficking ring, for heaven's sake.", "Victoria: But dad provided the infrastructure via newman enterprises.", "Nikki: And to the outside world, we will appear to be a very loving couple.", "Victor: As it should be.", "Ashley: I can't abide you exploiting our company for your own selfish ends, jack. If our father were alive, he'd be appalled at your behavior.", "Jack: He's my father, not yours. No confidence.", "Gloria: You've been voted out, jack.", "Traci: Well, I have never seen a more festive setting for a christmas eve dinner.", "Ashley: I think we've done a wonderful job. Abby, good job with the place cards. Looks like we had just enough.", "Abby: Oh, well, as long as billy, phyllis, and hilary don't bring any party crashers.", "Dina: Hilary?", "Ashley: Yeah, hilary curtis. She has that local tv show that you were on. Remember? The hilary hour ?", "Traci: She's a friend of jack'S.", "Dina: Yeah, the so-called journalist.", "Traci: Yes, jack invited her. She's on her own this year.", "Dina: Quelle surprise.", "Jack: You sure you don't want this seat? I mean, tradition has it that it's mine, but things are changing so quickly.", "Ashley: It's christmas eve. Can we please not do this?", "Abby: Mom, what does he mean?", "Jack: Oh, then you haven't told abby and traci. Ashley has decided to make her interim stay as C.E.O. At jabot a permanent one. Her motives for the no- confidence vote are becoming clearer by the minute.", "Jill: Oh, yummy!", "Esther: Yes. Here you go.", "Jill: Love it, love it. Thank you.", "Esther: Yeah.", "Jill: Ah! There's something wrong with this.", "Esther: [ Scoffs ] I think it's perfect.", "Jill: Esther, you know how to make eggnog. I've been drinking yours for years, and it's always delicious. Come on.", "Esther: It's heart-healthy eggnog. No fat, no alcohol.", "Jill: And no need to drink it. Ugh.", "Cane: Listen, between you and me, all right, I already told jill and esther that you won't be staying for dinner, so you're not obligated to hang out with us, all right?", "Charlie: Come on. Where else would I be?", "Cane: Uh, at the athletic club with your mom and devon, which is gonna be a lot more fun than here. Trust me on this.", "Charlie: Are you kidding? These two are just getting warmed up.", "Jill: Oh, and, esther, I hope you've kept it in mind that none of the rest of our guests are recovering from a heart attack, nobody except me. No need to punish them with the heart-healthy appetizers.", "Charlie: These taste a lot better than they, uh, sound, so...", "Cane: Yeah. Well, you have to brace yourself, 'cause esther's about to impress you with her pear pecan cheese ball, right?", "Esther: Coming right up. See?", "Jill: Listen, listen, I hope everything's on schedule. I don't want our guests waiting around hungry.", "Esther: Yes, don't worry. Everything is right on schedule.", "Jill: Yeah, so you say.", "Charlie: Look, I know it's weird doing the whole split-holiday thing. Maybe next year mattie will be with me, but tonight, I'm right where I want to be.", "Devon: Aww, so glad that you guys could make it.", "Mattie: Thank you for inviting us.", "Devon: Absolutely. Now, there is a five-course festive feast just moments away.", "Mattie: Five courses?", "Devon: That's right. I hope you're hungry.", "Mattie: I'm starved.", "Devon: Yeah?", "Mattie: And I'm sure with all that food, some of it must be vegan?", "Lily: Uh, I thought that was a new year's resolution.", "Mattie: It is, but I'm also celebrating a cruelty-free christmas.", "Lily: Not for the poor chef who could have used that news yesterday.", "Devon: It's totally fine. It's not a problem. I will talk to the chef. There will be no cruelty on the menu for our favorite intern.", "Mattie: Thank you from me and all the poor, loveable farm animals without a voice.", "Lily: Well, honey, I'm very proud of you, but don't ruin turkey for the rest of us.", "Devon: Oh, I'm just happy that you two could be here tonight. I think that after everything that's gone down the last 12 months, you guys deserve a nice, special celebration, so leave your worries at the door, relax, and let me take care of everything, all right?", "Billy: Phyllis, you know where my dry cleaning is?!", "Phyllis: Try looking for the big thing on the hanger covered in plastic!", "Billy: Big thing with the plastic on a hanger? Really? I mean, can you just tell me if it's up there, please?", "Phyllis: Okay, okay, you're not the only one who's getting ready around here, okay? Where is it? It's right where I left it.", "Billy: Oh, well, I mean...", "Phyllis: Okay, now. Am I gonna have to help you out anymore? Should I go ahead and take this off the hanger for you?", "Billy: You can most definitely take it all off.", "Phyllis: All right, as much as I would prefer our own private yule fest, we have places we need to go.", "Billy: Yes, abbott family dinner. Nothing like two warring siblings on christmas eve.", "Phyllis: Hmm. Like I am overjoyed to be flouncing into the chancellor estate right into your mother's crosshairs.", "Billy: There is a third option that we've overlooked until now. Hmm? Hi, I'm mike ditka.", "Paul: [ Sighs ] This is not gonna be easy.", "Christine: Well, if we're gonna get to victor, we need to reel her in first.", "Devon: Would you go ahead and open it already?", "[ Chuckles ]", "Mattie: Are you kidding me? Bruno mars concert tickets? Oh, my goodness! Uncle devon, thank you so much!", "Devon: You're very welcome.", "Mattie: Thank you, thank you, thank you! That show has been sold out since like the day these went on sale.", "Devon: Yeah, I know. I pulled a few strings. It's no big deal. I'm happy to do it, especially after all the hard work you put into my present here. Really, this photo album is beautiful, mattie. Brought back a lot of great memories.", "Mattie: Well, mom helped.", "Lily: Well, no. I supplied the photos, but the artistry is all mattie.", "Mattie: Oh, and before i forget, charlie gave me his gifts for everyone.", "Lily: Oh, that was considerate.", "Mattie: Open it. It'll be a surprise for me, too.", "Lily: [ Chuckles ] Okay.", "Devon: What is it?", "Lily: Uh, it's a photo book of paris. God, I miss that city. I always love going back.", "Mattie: So did dad. With you.", "Lily: Well, it was a very special place for us. [ Chuckles ] Well, my son, more sweet than subtle.", "Jill: I hope you have the most wonderful christmas, colin. Well, of course I'm jealous. [ Laughs ] You're on a sailboat off the gold coast, and I'm here freezing my tinsel off. Yes, sweet baby, I love you, too. But here, wait. Your son wants to talk to you.", "Cane: Merry christmas, dad. [ Chuckles ] Yeah? I bet it is. So how's the reef diving going?", "Charlie: Hmm? So, uh, I don't know if you have any last-minute gift ideas for my dad.", "Jill: Well, I think I've gotten that covered, honey, but if you have a suggestion, make it.", "Charlie: Uh, don't sell the company. I mean, he's rocking the new job.", "Cane: Guys, can we not do this topic tonight, okay, please? I don't want to talk about it.", "Esther: What? You're -- you're selling mrs. C's company?", "Jill: Esther, esther, it's my company, all right?", "Esther: Which makes this even more bonkers.", "Jill: [ Chuckles ] Do you see what you started? If you weren't so damn cute, I'd fill your stocking up with coal.", "Charlie: Sorry.", "Jill: [ Sighs ] There is nothing for you to worry about.", "Esther: Oh, yeah?", "Cane: Thanks for the effort.", "Charlie: You know I got your back.", "Cane: All right.", "Jill: You're the estate manager, okay? You're responsible for running the estate we're standing on. All the contents of katherine's will are my responsibility.", "Cane: I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I'm actually looking forward to billy and phyllis getting here.", "Charlie: [ Chuckles ]", "Billy: Okay, so maybe the, uh, last-minute cancellation and a bubble bath for two wasn't exactly the most logical solution.", "Phyllis: Tempting, yes. Logical, no.", "Billy: I have another solution, and this one we're clothed in.", "Phyllis: Ooh, okay. Let's hear it.", "Billy: You go to the abbotts. I will go to my mother's, spend some quality time with her. I will meet you at jack and ashley's for dessert after.", "Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Well, half of them are gonna hate me because of my vote at the board meeting, and the other half are gonna hate you.", "Billy: Hey, at least you don't have to do two dinners like I do. Plus you skip out on hanging out with my mother. That's pretty good. And we're only apart for half the evening.", "Phyllis: Seems kind of cruel making you go to dinner all alone at your mother's house.", "Billy: Anything I can do to make your christmas eve just a little bit more merrier.", "Phyllis: There's more of that waiting for you when the night's done, okay? A lot more.", "Billy: God bless us, everyone. Mm.", "Traci: So you're really going through with this?", "Ashley: Can we please not talk about this tonight? No business, right? It's christmas eve. You get what I'm saying, abby?", "Abby: This isn't the time or the place.", "Ashley: Exactly. We can talk about the jabot situation after the holidays.", "Jack: Including how people may or may not feel now after their vote in the boardroom?", "Ashley: Including everything and anything, jack. I know what you're wondering, and yes, that vote was absolutely necessary. And to move forward, I had to step in because I think jabot deserves focused and consistent leadership. It's exactly what you would have done.", "Jack: Whatever you say, boss.", "Ashley: Jab away all you want. I'm not gonna pay any attention to you. I'm certainly not gonna let this christmas eve turn into a rehash of that board meeting. Tonight we are going to enjoy ourselves, correct? We are gonna be reminded that family comes first. And in the spirit of the season, our hearts are gonna be filled with love and happiness and joy! Am I clear? Great. I'm gonna go check on dinner.", "Jack: Ho, ho, ho.", "Jill: Oh!", "Billy: Mwah.", "Jill: You look so handsome.", "Billy: Oh, no need to butter me up. I've already got your gifts straight from new york, handpicked by me. And phyllis, of course, who sends her regards. Some last-minute fenmore's/jabot internet blah blah blah. Thank you, esther.", "Jill: I'm trying to get into the holiday spirit, sweetie, desperately. Of course, that one's making it very difficult.

Thank you. That means a lot to me. It really does.", "Charlie: And this one's for you, too.", "Cane: Okay. Is this from mattie or...? Here.", "Charlie: Uh...", "Jill: Thank you.", "Charlie: No.", "Cane: No?", "Charlie: It's from mom.", "Jill: Oh, how precious!", "Esther: Oh, so sweet.", "Cane: It's beautiful. But I didn't get your mom anything.", "Charlie: Hey, relax, dad. Night's still young.", "Lily: Thanks. That was delicious.", "Devon: Yeah. You know what, guys? I'd like to make a brief toast to the season and to the greatest gift that I think anyone could ever ask for, and that's a night spent with family.", "Lily: I talked to dad on the way over here, and he sends his love.", "Devon: Oh, nice. Yeah, not everyone is here, but no one is forgotten.", "Lily: To family.", "Mattie: To family.", "Devon: To family. [ Glasses clink ] All right, well, if you guys will excuse me, I'm gonna go check on something in the kitchen real quick, all right?", "Lily: Okay.", "Mattie: The book made you sad, didn't it? Charlie didn't think it through properly, especially for tonight.", "Lily: No, hey, I'm not sad that I have those great memories with your dad. You know, our trips to paris, I'll cherish them no matter what.", "Mattie: I wish that my memories with dad didn't seem so messed up, but everything that happened this year...", "Lily: Look, it won't be that way forever. I know that you're disappointed in him, but just try and keep an open heart, okay? Because no matter what happens between your dad and me, I don't want that to affect you missing out on all the great times you both can have together in the future.", "Mattie: I really am trying. I'm still mad at him, but when i saw this table, I had the same thought you probably did.", "Lily: Two place settings short?", "Mattie: Even if I don't show it... I still miss him.", "Lily: Come here.", "Ashley: This is very thoughtful. Mmm. Balsam fir.", "Abby: One of mom's favorites.", "Ashley: Yeah.", "Hilary: Jack told me.", "Dina: Her again! [ Scoffs ] You know, I was hoping you were playing a holiday prank on me.", "Jack: Mother, we discussed this. Hilary --", "Hilary: Jack, jack, it's fine. No need to cause a scene. Season's greetings, dina. It's nice to see you again.", "[ Doorbell rings ]", "Dina: Mm-hmm.", "[ Chuckles ]", "Ashley: Oh.", "Phyllis: Merry christmas.", "Ashley: Oh. Where's billy? Parking the car?", "Phyllis: Uh, yes, he is, at the chancellor estate. He's gonna have dinner with jill and dessert with us. He sent me as his placeholder.", "Hilary: Hi, phyllis.", "Phyllis: Hi, hilary! Nice to see you. Jack, you, too.", "Jack: We're delighted you could join us. Isn't that right, abby?", "Abby: The more, the merrier.", "Phyllis: Dina, your outfit is gorgeous.", "Hilary: Yes, I-I agree. You look beautiful.", "Dina: Oh, what a delight. Strumpets in stereo.", "Phyllis: Everything okay here?", "Jack: Haven't you heard? It's the most wonderful time of the year. Why don't we all head into the dining room? Uh, oh, did I just overstep? I know you're angling for C.E.O. Did you want to be the one to ring the dinner bell?", "Ashley: What did I say before?", "Jack: I want your job ? No, that's not it. No, it was, oh, this will be a christmas eve to remember. Let's go make it one.", "Hilary: What are we doing here, exactly?", "Phyllis: When you find out, text me.", "Nikki: Well, I was surprised to get your dinner invitation. But it's nice for us to get together, all of us off duty.", "Paul: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. Old friends don't need a reason to get together, now, do they?", "Nikki: So, any vacation plans?", "Paul: Oh, you know, it -- it is really difficult to plan anything, isn't it?", "Christine: Even harder when you try and sync up both of our schedules.", "Nikki: Mm-hmm.", "Paul: I mean, I finish one case, and before I know it, there's another one on my desk that's just demanding to be tackled.", "Christine: Yeah, like the newman audit. It seemed like that case would never close.", "Nikki: Oh, I'm sure. Happily, that's behind us. I am famished. How about you two?", "Jill: Honey. Dinner's ready. Everybody's waiting.", "Cane: Oh, I'm sorry. I just want to make sure this doesn't get lost in the shuffle.", "Jill: This really caught you off guard, didn't it?", "Cane: Yeah, it was unexpected. And it was really sweet of lily.", "Jill: You know what? Dinner can wait a few minutes. You call her.", "Cane: I should call her now?", "Jill: Baby, this is not just a present for sam. She's reaching out to you. Reach back. At least, uh, that's what i would do.", "[ Cellphone rings ]", "Lily: Oh. Excuse me.", "Devon: Sure.", "Lily: Hey. Is everything okay with charlie?", "Cane: Yeah, yeah, he's great. Um... but that's not why I'm calling.", "Lily: Oh, what's up?", "Cane: I wanted to thank you for the gift.", "Lily: The gift?", "Cane: Yeah, for sam. It was a really sweet gesture.", "Lily: Uh, I didn't get sam a gift.", "Cane: I thought it was for me, but it was really for him. Charlie brought it with him. It was -- it's a silk blanket with his name on it.", "Lily: Oh, you mean charlie bought a present and put my name on it.", "Cane: All right, that's what happened. I think we have a very clever son.", "Lily: Yeah, clever enough to buy me a book about paris.", "Cane: Oh, is that what he did? Okay. Hey, you know we're kind of lucky we don't have identical twins. We might find ourselves caught in a real-life parent trap.", "Lily: Yeah, definitely. Uh, well, I guess mystery solved.", "Cane: Yeah, I guess. Well, listen, I should go. Um, everybody's sitting down for dinner, and they're waiting for me.", "Lily: Same here. Um, well, sorry for the mix-up. Good night. Cane?", "Cane: Lily? Merry christmas.", "Lily: You took the words right out of my mouth.", "Cane: I'll call you tomorrow, okay?", "Lily: That'd be great. Until then.", "Cane: Good night.", "Ashley: It's so nice to have you all here on this special night. Um, mrs. Martinez will be bringing dinner out very shortly, and I'm sure it's gonna be a magnificent feast.", "Dina: Well, I don't know what we're waiting for. This never would happen in paris. There'd be a baguette at least.", "Ashley: [ Chuckles ] Baguette. Well, I thought we would just sit and chat, maybe have a glass of wine, and, you know, share some stories about other christmases in the past and remind each other why this holiday is so special to all of us.", "Jack: Well, I, for one, will remember this christmas season for a long time to come.", "Abby: Come on, uncle jack. I know you're disappointed, but mom's right. Don't ruin it. Let's enjoy it.", "Traci: Sweetie, perhaps uncle jack would have a better time if all the people weren't telling him how to behave in his own house.", "Hilary: Here we go.", "Dina: Well, I don't understand what jack is so disappointed about.", "Jack: Mother, I'll fill you in later. Ashley doesn't want to discuss it. This is the season of goodwill to all.", "Dina: Well, if there's something going on, I want to know about it.", "Jack: Well, there, I tried. She insisted. So do we put it to a vote whether to tell her or not?", "Christine: So you only just moved back to the ranch. It must have seemed a bit odd to leave victor alone on christmas eve.", "Nikki: Oh, no, not at all. We're gonna meet later on this evening and have our own celebration.", "Paul: Oh. Forgive me if I'm being presumptuous, but it doesn't sound like victor giving you a furlough on a holiday.", "Nikki: Maybe you don't know him as well as you think you do. Things have changed.", "Christine: You should tell us. How have things changed? Listen moms,", "Dina: Well, I'm not eating dinner with people who stabbed my son in the back. I'm surprised, darling, you haven't lost your appetite.", "Jack: You know what, mother? You have a point. If everyone will please excuse me, I don't know what the hell i was thinking.", "Dina: Shame on you all!", "Traci: [ Gasps ] Mother, wait, wait! Mother! [ Sighs ] Oh! Did you have to tell her?", "Ashley: What?! Jack's the one that brought it up! What should I have said? You're the writer! Why don't you tell me?", "Traci: Anything at all just to keep the peace. Please, you could have made something up. It would be easy. Ashley, just don't say something that's gonna set our mother off and ruin the entire evening.", "Abby: Really? You're gonna blame this on my mom? Uncle jack has been a pill since I got here!", "Ashley: Exactly.", "Traci: Because his sister got him fired and went after his job.", "Ashley: Okay, you know what? If I'm such a horrible person, i certainly wouldn't want you to have to share a meal with me.", "Traci: Oh, no. Don't be silly. You stay put. I will not stay around for this debacle of a dinner.", "Abby: [ Chuckles ] Merry christmas. At least you're not related to them.", "Phyllis: Hmm. I was really looking forward to that meal.", "Hilary: You think if we sit here long enough, they might serve us eventually?", "Nikki: Just today during lunch, we were mapping out our charitable endeavors for the new year. I just wish other people realized there's so much more to him than the ruthless business tycoon.", "Paul: Well, he's a complicated man, no doubt. But you and I both know, nikki, he's done some terrible things.", "Christine: Which he tends to get away with.", "Nikki: Well, not always. As you both know, he recently served time in prison.", "Christine: Yeah, which never would have happened if you and other family members hadn't testified against him and then reversed that testimony to get him released.", "Nikki: You know what? Is this really the right topic of conversation for christmas eve?", "Paul: You know how much i care about you, nikki. So with everything that's happened the last couple of years, moving back in the ranch, defending him, as your friend, as a cop, I have to wonder. Is this really your choice?", "Nikki: I don't really know what you're implying.", "Paul: I think victor has something on you and he is using it to twist your arm.", "Nikki: You know, paul, i would be offended if that weren't so ridiculous.", "Christine: If that's happening, then you're living a nightmare every day. And if you need help, we can -- we can provide that.", "Paul: Maybe we can all help each other.", "Devon: So, guys, I spoke to the chef and told him to hold off on dessert for a little while so we can have more time to just relax and enjoy each other's company.", "Lily: Yeah, good idea.", "Hilary: Merry christmas, everyone.", "Devon: Hey. You're back from the abbotts so soon.", "Hilary: Oh, more like the nick of time. Phyllis and I, we walked in on a full- on family feud. We didn't even make it to first course.", "Devon: Oh, boy. Uh, well, would you like to join us for dessert?", "Hilary: My favorite part of the meal.", "Devon: Yeah? Okay, well, let's get you some champagne.", "Hilary: So, everything okay over there?", "Devon: Yeah. Yeah, why?", "Hilary: Well, you know, I was just wondering how mattie and lily are doing. First christmas since the split.", "Devon: Yeah, they're hanging in there, but you're right, 'cause, uh, charlie's with cane, and mattie and lily are feeling the weirdness a little bit.", "Hilary: Well, it seems like the holiday spirit's having a little trouble kicking in all over town.", "Devon: Right? Maybe we should try to figure out a way to goose it along a little bit.", "Hilary: I might have just the way.", "Billy: You know, I have to hand it to you. You showed a lot of restraint. Not one speech about me getting my life together in 2018.", "Jill: [ Laughs ] Don't be so silly. I would never do that to you on christmas. I'm saving that for new year's eve.", "Billy: Walked right into that one, didn't I?", "Jill: Hmm.", "Billy: Fyi -- I have plans on new year's eve.", "Esther: Oh, take me with you. Please. Please.", "Cane: I talked to your mom before dinner.", "Charlie: So you found out about the blanket.", "Cane: Yeah, I found out about the blanket. All right, listen, I'm not mad. I'm just a little puzzled because you knew your mom and I were gonna talk and we'd figure this out.", "Charlie: Yeah, that was the point -- get you guys talking about something.", "Cane: You know I should be telling you not to worry about it, right? But it's christmas. So, uh, good job, son.", "[ Cellphone rings ]", "Jill: Merry christmas. I don't know. Just enjoying a quiet evening at home. Why? Did you have something in mind? Wow. It sounds perfect. Count me in. Statins lower cholesterol,", "Dina: This house got quiet in a hurry, didn't it?", "Ashley: I'm sorry. I guess I could have handled things better.", "Dina: Well, I don't see how, my darling, with what you did to jack.", "Ashley: I didn't do anything to jack. He is now being pulled in a lot of different directions, mother, and I'm hoping that he's gonna see the big picture and realize that I was trying to make things better and not worse.", "Dina: And I'm sure I'm one of those directions where he feels pulled.", "Ashley: Well, you do know that you are his number one priority.", "Dina: Well, while I still have a few marbles rattling around, would you like some advice?", "Ashley: I have a feeling you're gonna give it to me anyway, so sure.", "Dina: Tell your brother that you still love him and that family is far more important than anything at work.", "Ashley: Well, I know that it is.", "Dina: Well, don't waste time the way I did. Make amends right away, before it's too late.", "Phyllis: Billy, it's me. You can skip the abbott dessert plan. I'll explain later. I'll see you at home, okay? Hey.", "Jack: How'd you find me?", "Phyllis: Simple. I know all of your go-to places.", "Jack: I used to think jabot was my place.", "Phyllis: I know that you are angry at ashley, but sitting alone at a bar on christmas eve isn't the fix. This looks like you're quitting. Jack abbott is many things, but he is not a quitter.", "Jack: I am merely considering my options.", "Phyllis: Which are?", "Jack: Well, let's see. I could back down for the good of the company and my family. That's not quitting. That's putting the important things first.", "Phyllis: What else you got?", "Jack: I realize I was petty and mean-spirited tonight. It was that or start rolling out the really big guns and pointing them straight at ashley.", "Phyllis: Not sure exactly what that means, but it sounds pretty damn extreme.", "Jack: It is, I assure you.", "Phyllis: It's obvious you're forming a plan, if you haven't already. My advice before you do anything rash? Weigh the consequences. Maybe even say it out loud a few times. And try -- try to have a very merry christmas.", "Jack: Thank you. You, too. Good night.", "Phyllis: Good night.", "Jack: Merry christmas.", "Nikki: I do hope we're done with this absurd conversation.", "Paul: Not even close.", "Christine: Victor was cleared in that audit somehow. But we know there was more going on than we were able to uncover.", "Paul: And if you don't know what those things are, we are confident your being back at the ranch, you will have a chance to find out.", "Nikki: I don't even know what you're talking about.", "Paul: How much did he know about the sex ring and how it operated? What else has he been up to?", "Christine: Nikki, with your help, we can put victor away for a long time, and in return, grant you immunity.", "Nikki: Immunity? Just what exactly do you think I've done?", "Paul: First things first. You help us, nikki.", "Nikki: You know what? This meal is over.", "Lily: Hey, uh, about dessert. When mattie heard it was a double chocolate cream cake --", "Devon: Don't worry about it. I won't be offended if she doesn't eat it. Neither will the chef.", "Lily: Oh, no, she wants to put the whole vegan thing on hold for a few hours now.", "Devon: Is that right?", "Lily: Yes.", "Devon: Well, tell her the cake will be out soon and the cream is made from free-range cows.", "Lily: Oh, okay. [ Chuckles ] [ Cellphone chimes ] But first I have a surprise that's about to walk through the door.", "Jill: Merry christmas, everybody!", "Lily: Jill! Oh, my god!", "Jill: Hi! Merry christmas, darling.", "Lily: Merry christmas!", "Jill: Hi, sweetheart. How are you? I guess that you're all wondering what this is about. Well, devon and I were talking, and we came up with an idea that would make the evening even more joyous.", "Lily: What?", "[ Laughter ]", "Esther: Merry christmas, everyone!", "Devon: Esther!", "Lily: Oh, my gosh!

That's really what happened. But, you know, makes me appreciate this little escape that we've set up here.", "Billy: That's for sure.", "Phyllis: Yeah.", "Billy: Doesn't matter what happens out there. We got this.", "Phyllis: We got us.", "Billy: Merry christmas.", "Phyllis: Merry christmas.", "Tessa: The sounding joy repeat, repeat the sounding...", "Paul: Nikki, hear me out. We have known each other way too long. There is something you are not telling me.", "Nikki: You're wrong, paul.", "Paul: This is not only about nailing victor. I want to help you if I can.", "Nikki: Please. We both know this has nothing to do with helping me, so you can drop that act.", "Paul: You think it's an act? After everything we have been through all these years? Come on, nik. I can't lie to you just so chris can charge him with something.", "Nikki: I don't know. It sure seems like it.", "Paul: I am giving you a chance to escape him for good, for your own good. Take it. Please.", "Tessa: Let every heart prepare him room and heaven and nature sing", "Ashley: Hey. I'm glad you're back. I'm sorry about before.", "Jack: Is this insurance to guarantee a harmonious christmas morning?", "Ashley: I would have said it any time because it's the truth. I want to find a way for us to move forward. I know we can do it.", "Jack: As long as you're still the C.E.O., Right?", "Ashley: Jack, I do want us to have a very harmonious christmas. There's got to be a way.", "Jack: The thing is, there is no way.", "Ashley: You don't believe that.", "Jack: I do believe that. You will, too, once you read this.", "Ashley: What is it? What? You're evicting me from my own home?", "Jack: It's an amendment I had added some time ago to jabot's corporate bylaws, the rules that govern our little company. It's a small change but an important one. I had it highlighted there. It's really only one clause. Only a blood abbott can hold the title of C.E.O. Of jabot.", "Ashley: You can't do that.", "Jack: It is 100% legitimate. Unlike you, I'm sorry to remind you.", "Ashley: You son of a bitch!", "Jack: You're not taking my job from me, ashley.

Nicholas has had his share of problems, but he knows what counts in the long run, doesn't he?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: I thought you should come over tonight. Okay, I'll see you soon. (Sighs) Okay, where were we? \"But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight...\"", "Faith: \"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.\"", "Nick: Nice! That. You know, my mommy used to read this to me when I was little. It just wouldn't be Christmas without it.", "Nikki: Nicholas is one of the most devoted parents I know.", "Angel: That didn't happen by accident, Nikki.", "Nikki: I used to love reading to him. My little guy, and in the blink of an eye, he's a young man.", "Nick: Look at you. I honestly can't believe it. Look how big you're getting. You're like this now, and pretty soon, you're gonna want to leave the house like your big brother Noah. But you know what? No matter where you go or what you do with your life, this will always be home, okay?", "Faith: Okay.", "[Nikki remembering]", "Nikki: Nicholas, I'll never be over your father. We have two children together. That's a bond that you can't dismiss-- at least, I can't.", "Nick: Mom, I know you're gonna make it through this.", "Nikki: You think so, huh?", "Nick: You're tough. You always have been tough. Anyway, I'm here now, and maybe I can help. No, I know I can help, Mom.", "Nikki: It has been pretty lonely around here for me lately.", "Nick: Mom.", "Nikki: Suddenly, I'm very, very glad to have my son back home.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: I shouldn't have ever have sent them to boarding school. I should have kept my children close.", "Angel: They needed their mother just as much when they were teenagers. They still do. That never ends.", "Faith: Mommy!", "Nick: That's right.", "Faith: Hi.", "Sharon: Hi, Faith! Merry Christmas. Mommy missed you so much.", "Nikki: It was good of Nicholas to ask her.", "Nick: I thought it'd be nice if Faith had both of us here to tuck her in tonight. Plus, you know, we gotta get the fixin's ready for Santa and all his reindeer, so--", "Faith: (Squeals)", "Nick: Yeah.", "Sharon: (Laughs) Well, I can help with that.", "Nick: Let's do it. Tell you what, why don't you finish this drawing, coloring for Santa, all right?", "Faith: Okay. Okay.", "Nick: Good job. Here, want to carry that?", "Sharon: Sure. What made you change your mind about inviting me?", "Nick: It hit me how sad I would have been if I wasn't near my mom during Christmas, no matter how little I was, and I don't want to do that to Faith.", "Sharon: Well, I'm glad you didn't.", "Nick: This is the right thing for our daughter.", "Sharon: You sound like your mother.", "Angel: That's your influence, Nikki-- exactly the kind of thing you did for your kids again and again.", "Nick: I've been thinking about her a lot. I just wish I could make her understand that no matter what she's done or how screwed-up she feels, that I'm here for her, just like she's been there for me a million times.", "[Nick and Nikki remembering]", "Nick: Mom, you've been so great through all this. I don't know how I would have held together without you.", "Nikki: I just wish I could do more.", "Nick: It's out of our hands.", "Nikki: Listen. They perform miracles with premature babies-- miracles.", "Nick: I know. That's what I'm praying for.", "Nikki: You keep on praying, because miracles do happen.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Angel: You've always been the glue, Nikki, the one who's kept this family together. What greater gift can a parent give? Some of the best parts of both of your children came from you.", "Nick: (Sighs) All right. Hey, Beautiful. It's about bedtime. I'll tell you what, how about we... do a Christmas prayer together? Sound good?", "Faith: Mm-hmm.", "Nick: Okay. (Pats couch cushion)", "Sharon: What a wonderful idea.", "Nick: All right, ready? Dear heavenly father, I humbly ask you for joy, peace on earth for everyone, on this special evening. My dad's going through a pretty rough time right now, and I know you're gonna look out for him and bring him back to us very, very soon. And please, wherever my mother is tonight, don't let her ever forget that she is not alone.", "Faith: Amen.", "Sharon: Amen.", "Nick: Amen. (Kisses Faith)", "Angel: Your children aren't the only ones praying for you tonight.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kay: (Sighs)", "Murphy: There's still no word from Nikki.", "Kay: None? She's--she's probably spending her holidays in a bar with strangers, instead of with her family. My God, she must have known that she could have come to me.", "Nikki: It's true. I could always go to Katherine for anything. She's helped me more than I can say.", "Angel: You've helped her, too, but you don't give yourself credit for that, do you?", "Kay: She's been like a rock for me. Oh, she has seen me through some of the-- the worst times of my life.", "[Kay and Nikki remembering]", "Kay: Oh, God, I wish I didn't have to go to that damn funeral tomorrow.", "Nikki: Would you like me to go with you?", "Kay: Oh, yes, I'd like that very much.", "Nikki: Okay.", "Kay: I dread that... horrible long ride alone to say your final good-bye.", "Nikki: You will not be alone.", "Kay: But I am alone, Nikki. Yeah, well, I-I am alone.", "Nikki: No.", "Kay: I-I cannot remember ever, ever feeling so alone, and I say to myself, \"What--what do I do now? Where do I go?\" (Sobbing) What do I do, Nikki?", "Nikki: Oh, Katherine.", "Kay: (Sobbing) Oh, God, Nikki, help--help me.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Angel: I wish you could see yourself through her eyes, because that woman is a fighter.", "Murphy: You're coming up?", "Kay: No, no, no... (Stammers) In a minute.", "Murphy: Okay. (Exhales slowly)", "Kay: We have a situation here... and you and I are going to have to do something about it. I am going to help Nikki. I-I'll never ever really give up on her. That's where I need a favor from you, Lord. Please don't let Nikki ever, ever give up on herself.", "Angel: Don't you see that you've brought so much love to the lives of your family and friends? That you're not nothing?", "Nikki: (Sighs) Yes, and it's been very moving, but it doesn't erase everything that I've done. There's one person who's not... home on Christmas Eve, and it's because of me.", "Angel: Victor. It's time for you to see him.", "Nikki: (Sniffles)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: (Slides tray on floor)", "Victor: (Sighs)", "Nikki: I hate that I've done this to him.", "Angel: Pleading guilty was Victor's idea.", "Nikki: He has so much commitment, and what does he get in return? He gets to spend Christmas Eve in a cell, thinking about how much he resents me.", "[Nikki and Victor remembering]", "Nikki: Put--put your arms around me first.", "Victor: This is not gonna prove anything, you know.", "Nikki: Just put your arms around me.", "Victor: Now remember, this was your idea.", "Nikki: You dirty stinker!", "Victor: I beg your pardon?", "Nikki: You can kiss like that, and you've been holding out on me.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: He's remembering everything that we lost.", "Angel: No, Nikki. He's remembering how much he loves you. Through good times and bad, you and Victor have been the one constant in each other's lives. When he gave up on himself after Sabrina died, you're the one who fought hardest for him. You put your pride aside to help pull him back. Do I need to remind you what you did for him?", "[Nikki remembering]", "Nikki: He's not just grieving. He's broken. His soul is broken.", "Ashley: Look, I know what it's like to feel that kind of unbearable pain, where you don't think you can take any more. You just want to close your eyes and go to sleep and never wake up. Nikki, you know that I've gone through my own dark times in my life, but I survived. Here I am. Victor will survive, too.", "Nikki: I don't think he's gonna make it this time. (Inhales shakily) Go to him. Help him. You may be the only person who can save him.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: (Sighs) There was no other way.", "Angel: But only you would have realized that, and don't think Victor doesn't know it. He's well aware of what you sacrificed for him. He can always count on you to stick by him.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "[Nikki remembering]", "Nikki: Now just because you'll be home doesn't mean you can jump right back to work. The last thing we need is to have your blood pressure skyrocketing.", "Victor: (Chuckles) You're always looking out for me, aren't you?", "Nikki: Um... I-I should...", "Victor: What?", "Nikki: Have you stand, but if you don't feel well--", "Victor: No, I don't want to stand right now. See, I want you to talk to me. You know that you went away and--and went to build a new life for yourself, and then you put it all on hold for me.", "Nikki: Victor, that doesn't matter.", "Victor: Yeah, but it matters to me.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Where else would I have been?", "Angel: Exactly. Whatever you need to do for each other, you do. Whatever sacrifices you need to make, you make. It has been your past. It will be your future.", "[Victor and Nikki remembering]", "Victor: (Sighs) (Sighs) Don't you realize what this is all about? You know, sometimes, when we're in each other's arms, I really feel as if our souls are intertwined, and... you and I have become one.", "Nikki: I do, too.", "Victor: My beauty.", "Nikki: Ohh, Victor.", "Nikki: Why can't we stay like this forever?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Dear Lord, I don't talk to you often enough. I don't turn to you often enough, I know that. (Sighs) But Nikki needs your help. She needs it to survive. She needs to move on, not only for herself, but for her whole family. Please show her that she has the strength and the will to do this on her own.", "Nikki: I want to go, please. (Sniffles) Thank you. I couldn't handle watching Victor suffer because of me.", "Angel: Then don't let it happen. Believe in yourself, the way we're all praying you will. Why would I have come tonight if yours wasn't a life worth living? You called yourself \"Nothing,\" but you're everything, everything to the people who love you.", "Angel: Please tell me you've heard me.", "Nikki: I have. I-I have, and I want to believe. I... I just have to ask you-- wh-why did you come to me, and why did you come now, knowing what I've done? I mean, why do you feel that I'm worthy of forgiveness after taking another woman's life?", "Angel: Nicole, you're not a murderer.", "Nikki: But I have all these dreams, all these memories--", "Angel: Put those aside. They aren't the whole story. If only you would have looked into your heart, you would have known what I know, that your conscience is clear.", "Nikki: Well, then who killed Diane?", "Angel: I can't tell you, but your husband knows the truth.", "Nikki: Victor?", "Angel: It's gonna be all right, I promise you. I can't say any more. I have to go now.", "Nikki: Oh, no, don't go.", "Angel: But I'm so glad we had this time together.", "Nikki: Please, you--you-- you have to stay.

You have no idea.", "All: (Laughing)", "Victoria: So happy to see you.", "Nikki: Oh, Baby.", "Victoria: Mm.", "Nikki: (Sniffles) I know that your father would love to be here to share in this.", "Victoria: Mom, I doubt that Dad would be as happy about me marrying Billy as you are.", "Nikki: Listen, he is thinking about you right now. Don't you worry about him, and--and don't worry about me anymore, okay? 'Cause it's gonna be all right, I promise you. I promise.", "Victoria: Okay.", "Nikki: (Sniffles) Ohh.", "Victoria: Mom, I love you, and now that you're here...", "Nikki: I love you. Listen--", "Victoria: We can start", "Nikki: Yes, just--", "Nick: Yeah.", "Nikki: Just give me a minute to--to, uh--", "Victoria: Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah, no problem. Okay, we'll just--", "Nikki: I love you all.", "Victoria: Love you.", "Nikki: Thank you. (Sniffles)", "Kay: Oh, God, Nikki. Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, my baby.", "Nikki: I'll see you in there.

Well, can you help me find a place for these, then?", "Victor: You bet. Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here. What's in here? The bottom.", "Nikki: You'll find out. Oh, my goodness.

You're asking me if I've ever patronized a trendy café surrounded by palm trees, Porsches, and pretty people eating things made out of avocado and kale. That describes just about every single eating establishment west of La Brea. You want to be a little bit more specific?", "Abby: Oh, I intend to be.

Done. Who was the guy?", "Abby: His name was Alfalfa.", "Tyler: Alfalfa.", "Abby: Mm-hmm. And he had the most adorable beard and these big, brown eyes. We shared some very public, very heavy petting.

I'll see you.", "Nick: I'll see you.", "Avery: Nick? How are you really doing?", "Nick: I'm fine.", "Avery: Oh. Well, then...", "Nick: You're not buying that.", "Avery: I'm not. You want to try again with the truth?", "Nick: I've been going through hell. So is my whole family.", "Avery: I know. I've been thinking about all of you and how awful this Christmas will be without Delia.", "Nick: Well, I know firsthand how difficult it's gonna be for Billy and Victoria. You know, the tree and the ornaments and the putting together of the toys for the other kids. It all reminds you of the name that you won't be writing on the gift tag, the smiles you won't see.", "Avery: And you're reliving this whole thing with them.", "Nick: Well, it's not gonna be any easier for you.

We're devastated that we lost Delia, but at least Connor's sight was saved.", "Dylan: Yeah.", "Nikki: So, um...you were saying?", "Dylan: Yeah, what you probably don't know is that at first Chelsea and I thought Connor's condition was hereditary.", "Nikki: So you blamed yourself.", "Dylan: At the time, I didn't know I wasn't Connor's father. But it made me realize how important it is to know your family medical history.", "Nikki: That's exactly why I sought you out in the first place.", "Dylan: Is there something else I should know?", "Nikki: Nothing pressing. Um, I-I have it all written down.", "Dylan: Do you mind if I have it?", "Nikki: No, not at all. I wrote it down for you. I can make you a copy right now if you want to wait.", "Dylan: Yeah, sure. That'd be great.", "Nikki: Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: Aren't you supposed to come down the chimney?", "Victor: Since you were so personally involved in Nikki's search for her son... would you tell me what you uncovered?", "Paul: There's nothing else to tell, Victor. Nikki was involved in every aspect of the investigation. Why don't you just ask her?", "Victor: Ask her? I won't. She has feelings of guilt in regard to that boy. So let me hear the facts.", "Paul: You know them all. We found who we were looking for, and it was confirmed by the DNA test.", "Victor: I want to know more than just the lab results okay? I want to know everything you've learned about Dylan McAvoy.", "Paul: [Sighs] Nikki has all that information.", "Victor: She is never gonna tell me. Trust me.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Summer: I just came from being grilled by Chief Williams, so I know what you guys want to hear.", "Michael: What did you tell Paul?", "Summer: I told him the only thing that I could tell him or you guys.

Please.", "Lauren: No, you're trying to protect him, and I get that.

Do you honestly think that we would willingly do anything to hurt him? Summer, please!", "Michael: Lauren. Lauren. Lauren. Listen, we know Fenmore went to your birthday party.", "Summer: Yeah, but it was a surprise birthday thing. I wasn't the one who sent out any of the invites.", "Michael: But you were glad he was there.", "Summer: Yeah, obviously I was excited to see Fen there. He looked good. But I don't understand how talking about my party will help at all.", "Lauren: Because everything that you can tell us about that time helps us. You are probably the last person to see him before he disappeared.", "Summer: I can't -- I can't do this.", "Lauren: No, Summer. Please don't go.", "Summer: Please, I cannot tell you anything, especially after what Chief Williams said to me.", "Michael: What did Paul say to you?", "Summer: J-just some stuff.", "Michael: Did he threaten you?", "Summer: More like a warning. He -- he said that I could possibly be arrested for helping Fen.", "Michael: Oh. Here. Sit. Sit. Go on. What Paul did -- he used scare tactics to get you to talk.", "Summer: Okay, so I-I can't really get in trouble?", "Michael: Well, technically you can be charged.", "Summer: A-and be thrown in jail over Christmas?", "Michael: I would do everything legally possible to protect you in that case.", "Summer: No, no. Please, Michael, I cannot go to jail, okay. I would lose my job. My mom -- what if my mom gets better and I'm in jail? Please. That cannot happen to me.", "Michael: Well, you know, let's make sure it doesn't. And the cleanest way to keep charges from being filed is for Fenmore to come home of his own volition.", "Lauren: So can you help us do that, Summer? Can you help us get our son home? Summer, please.", "Summer: I do know more.", "Lauren: Tell us where our son is.", "Summer: I-I really don't know where Fen is, but I... I-I know that Fen's guilty.", "Michael: Why would you say that?", "Summer: Because he told me that he pulled the trigger.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Just when you thought I was never coming back, right?", "Dylan: It did take a while. Is everything okay?", "Nikki: Oh, yeah. Just printer problems, as usual. Now you have my complete family medical history.", "Dylan: Thank you. May I?", "Nikki: Yes, please. Of course. Read through it. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.", "Dylan: How are you feeling? With the M.S.?", "Nikki: Well, that was my first concern when I got my diagnosis, was passing it down to my children, including you.", "Dylan: Can you?", "Nikki: Multiple sclerosis isn't necessarily hereditary, but you do have a slightly higher chance of being diagnosed with it, so you should let your doctor know that it is in your family medical history.", "Dylan: That's, uh, not why I was asking, but thank you. I just wondered how you were doing.", "Nikki: Oh. Oh, well, um... you know, w-with medication, I-it's under control.", "Dylan: Yeah. You do that a lot?", "Nikki: What?", "Dylan: Put a good spin on things so other people don't have to worry.", "Nikki: [Chuckles] Wow. Um... I have been accused of that...", "Dylan: Yeah.", "Nikki: ...Quite a few times. But, no, seriously, everything is good. I'm listening to my doctor and trying to avoid stress.", "Dylan: Oh, you know what? I didn't even think about that. I hope me showing up didn't cause you any stress.", "Nikki: No, no, no, no. You aren't stressful at all. I-I completely understand why you came, and I respect how you feel.", "Dylan: Thank you.", "Nikki: I don't want you to feel any pressure because of my condition. But it's hardly affected my life these days.", "Dylan: You putting that good spin on things again?", "Nikki: No. No spin. Would you like some hot chocolate? Or I have eggnog.", "Dylan: Actually, I-I have another question.", "Nikki: Oh, sure.", "Dylan: Do you know anything about my biological father's medical history?", "Nikki: No. No, um... I haven't seen Ian Ward since before you were born. He's probably dead, for all I know.", "Dylan: I'm pretty sure he's alive and kicking.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: I'm not gonna help you sabotage Nikki's attempt to get to know her son.", "Victor: With all due respect, I think you owe me, Paul.", "Paul: For what?", "Victor: For insinuating yourself into a family situation and causing Nikki a lot of stress. You know damn well that she's struggling with M.S.", "Paul: I honestly thought I was doing the right thing. And Nikki came to me first.", "Victor: Instead of to me, her husband.", "Paul: That was because of my position. I was with her. I was with her back then all those years ago in the commune.", "Victor: Yes, you were. Why didn't you protect her?", "Paul: [Sighs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Avery: I'm not sure Dylan and I are an official \"We.\"", "Nick: Why aren't you sure?", "Avery: Well, because we're -- we're just kind of taking things one day at a time. Uh, what about your Christmas plans? What are you doing, other than watching Faith's face when she opens up all these presents?", "Nick: I'm, uh, just gonna be with my family.", "Avery: Family?", "Nick: Yeah, you know, after the lie about Summer came out, I'm just grateful to actually have some family to be able to spend the holidays with. And, Avery, I know you're a big part of that.", "Avery: That was all Summer. Nick, she loves you.", "Nick: I'm serious. The girl who I still consider to be my daughter, she almost cut me out of her life for good, but she didn't. And I know that your forgiveness helped Summer get to that point. So just maybe give me a smile and say, \"Thank You.\"", "Avery: Thank you.", "Nick: You know, I'm trying to be as straight up as possible from now until tomorrow 'cause I've got the whole naughty and nice list thing hanging over my head.", "Avery: Oh, yeah. Well, since you're in that mode, uh...", "Nick: Do you have something naughty to confess?", "Avery: No, I just think that, you know, since Christmas is all about miracles, uh...", "Nick: All right, what'd you do? Did you, uh, rear-end my car?", "Avery: No. But I was hoping that for Christmas you could find it in your heart to make peace with Dylan.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Why do you think Ian Ward is alive? Have you spoken to him? Have you seen him?", "Dylan: Actually, I have very little information about the guy. It seems like he slid off the grid years ago.", "Nikki: Well, yeah, that's what I thought, too, but --", "Dylan: Avery did some research. No death certificate turned up. She hasn't found any records of him legally changing his name. I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring something up that would upset you.", "Nikki: No, it's okay. Just, um... tell me what you found out.", "Dylan: I found out what kind of man he was. [Sighs]", "Nikki: I'm sorry.", "Dylan: Since you, uh, hardly want to talk about this lowlife during the holidays, I'm -- I'm gonna take off.", "Nikki: Oh, no, no. You -- you don't have to rush out of here.", "Dylan: Thanks. I got -- I got what I came for. Thank you.", "Nikki: Is there something else?", "Dylan: Merry Christmas.", "Nikki: Well, Merry Christmas, Dylan.", "[Laughs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: You must have realized the cult leader was taking advantage of Nikki. Why didn't you try to stop him?", "Paul: Don't you think I wish I had seen the signs? If I had known that scum was taking advantage of Nikki, I would have stepped in and handled it. But I couldn't fix something I didn't now was going on. And you weren't around to run to the rescue, either. So what we have to do now is try and be there for Nikki, give her understanding and support.", "Victor: Listen, I'm trying everything in my power to make sure that she doesn't have additional upset. She's struggling with M.S.", "Paul: That's exactly why I went with Nikki to help her find her son. She was making herself sick, Victor. She was agonizing over the decision. She was wondering how you would accept it, how the family would accept it. Not to mention the kid she was hoping to find.", "Victor: Okay. Thanks, old boy. Um... do me a favor and just stay out of it from now, okay?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: What Fenmore said to you makes it even more urgent that we find him.", "Summer: Because of Carmine's murder.", "Lauren: We cannot risk you being questioned again.", "Michael: He must have said something to you about where he was going.", "Summer: He mentioned New York.", "Michael: New York.", "Lauren: Okay, good, good, good. Yeah, I have lots of friends.", "Summer: Look, New York is the one place I'm sure Fen isn't.", "Lauren: I don't understand.", "Summer: Fen wants you guys to go search New York so he can find someplace else to lie low.", "Lauren: All right, so where is he?", "Summer: I really don't -- I don't know. Okay, I'm sorry. I have to go.", "Michael: Oh, no. No, no. No, Summer... listen to me. There's another way you can help save Fenmore.", "Lauren: Only if you can help us pull this off.", "Michael: We realize we're asking a lot, and if there were any way we could do this without involving you --", "Summer: Please. Okay, there has to be something else. When he was running away after the Jamie thing, I was the one who tricked him into coming home. Please, I can't do that to him again.", "Lauren: Okay, Sweetheart. I know you're just being a good friend to him. We get that.", "Michael: He convinced you. He convinced you that the only way to help him was to let him run. We know that.", "Lauren: We even considered that ourselves for a brief moment.", "Summer: Then why did you change your mind?", "Michael: Bottom line, Fenmore's gonna get caught. He may be a clever kid, but he does not have the resources to avoid the authorities.", "Summer: Okay. And if he comes home?", "Michael: Either way, he's back in custody. But if he turns himself in, there's less of a chance that he gets hurt or killed in the process. I mean, he won't face additional charges. Listen, I know I can build a strong defense for him in court.", "Lauren: Look, Sweetheart... [Voice breaking] I'm terrified for my child. He's out there all by himself. He can't even go to an N.A. meeting because if he runs into a police officer, what would he do? With all that pressure and being by himself, he could go back to drugs.", "Michael: Not to mention all the other things a kid on the street has to deal with.", "Lauren: Please, if you care about him, please help us.", "Summer: Fen? It's Summer. Um... you're gonna hate what I'm about to say.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Abby: And that drive up the pacific coast highway.", "Tyler: That was spectacular.", "Abby: How are we gonna top that?", "Tyler: Well, I'll tell you what. I can think of a few things.", "Abby: [Chuckles] I love that idea, but we're all sandy.", "Tyler: Oh, well, getting clean can be fun.", "Abby: And I have to go run out and grab something.", "Tyler: Okay, we'll have it delivered. Come on.", "Abby: How can I get it delivered when I have no idea what it is yet? Hmm?", "Tyler: What the...", "Abby: I just -- I want to get something for the room that, despite the fact that there's not cold or snow, that it's Christmas Eve.", "Tyler: How about we sing some Christmas carols while I wash your back?", "Abby: [Laughs] Tyler.", "Tyler: And I think I saw a sprig of mistletoe hanging over that Jacuzzi tub in there.", "Abby: Mm. [Chuckles]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Avery: You don't look like you've been out singing \"Joy to the World.\"", "Dylan: You don't look too jolly yourself.", "Avery: I saw Nick.", "Dylan: You ran into him?", "Avery: No, on purpose. Just some unfinished business. I needed to return something to him.", "Dylan: And what'd he have to say?", "Avery: Nothing bad. You know, it was a little tense, but, um, I think it was for the best.", "Dylan: [ Sighs]", "Avery: What is that?", "Dylan: This is, uh, Nikki's medical report.", "Avery: Really? How did you get that?", "Dylan: I went to see her. I guess my mother and I had some unfinished business, too.", "Avery: You just called Nikki your mother. Maybe that business isn't so unfinished, after all.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Abby: Why don't you go jump in the shower?", "Tyler: Alone?", "Abby: I'm gonna go get us some holiday gewgaws that are way better than your imagined mistletoe.", "Tyler: Hmm.", "Abby: [Laughs]", "Tyler: All right. Whatever makes you happy.", "Abby: You and I will make each other happy in the Jacuzzi. Later. I promise.", "Tyler: [Sighs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Fenmore: [Panting] I nearly lost my mind when I got your message. I-I -- thank you for the call, Summer, but why did they send my dad back to prison? What happened? What's going on? Answer -- Summer --", "Lauren: Fen. Oh, thank God you're okay.", "Fenmore: Mom? Dad, you aren't locked up? I-I thought --", "Michael: My client's here to turn himself in.", "Paul: Fenmore Baldwin, you are under arrest for the murder of Carmine Basco. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand your rights as I read them?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "[Chord plays]", "Nick: [Sighs]", "[Chuckles]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dylan: Nikki may be my biological mother, but she'll never be my mom.", "Avery: So nothing's changed.", "Dylan: Can we just talk about something else?", "Avery: Yes, we can. We can talk about the other elephant in the room, Christmas.", "Dylan: Christmas.", "Avery: Christmas, Dylan. Its tomorrow, and we've made no plans.", "Dylan: It's my fault. My life has just been so crazy lately. I just...", "Avery: I know that. But any thoughts?", "Dylan: Uh, how about after I close the coffeehouse tomorrow night, we get together and we celebrate? You know what? I better run out and get your gift before all the other procrastinating shoppers get all the good stuff.", "Avery: Oh, you know what? I know what I want for my gift.", "Dylan: T-that's great. Where do I -- where do I buy that?", "Avery: Right here.", "Dylan: You want coffee?", "Avery: No.", "Dylan: Donuts? Pastry? Muffins? Cookies?", "Avery: Dylan, what I want... I want you to close this place for the whole day tomorrow so we can spend it together.", "Dylan: The entire day?", "Avery: Yes, the entire day.", "Dylan: [Grunts]", "Avery: I'll make a turkey, and I'll bake some pies, and we'll play Bing Crosby, your favorite, and we'll make a fire, and --", "Dylan: You don't have a fireplace.", "Avery: We'll light candles! Look, I know that it's not the same as a big family crazy gathering.", "Dylan: Yeah. You're right. It's not. It's gonna be better.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "[Door closes]", "Victor: So... how did things go with your son?", "Nikki: Fairly well, all things considered. Dylan was very kind for a few moments.", "Victor: I'm glad to hear that.", "Nikki: Victor, you don't have to pretend that you care.", "Victor: Baby, I'm not pretending. I love you. I care about you. Okay? I'm concerned about you.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Tyler: Abby, forget something?", "Michael: He showed up at the police station to turn himself in. He was acting responsibly.", "Christine: You expect me to believe that.", "Faith: I wished that you and Daddy and I could be together for Christmas. And Santa heard me." ]

[ "Sharon and Nick rush into her home, looking for Faith but she is nowhere to be found. Sharon begins to panic. Adam is on the stairs of the penthouse when he receives a call from Sage concerning Constance. As Adam leaves the apartment, he encounters Victoria and Katie at the elevator. They exchange pleasantries but she doesn't recognize him. Dylan and Avery enter the Coffeehouse and going behind the counter, Dylan sees Faith crouched in a corner. Dylan calls Sharon and lets her know that he found Faith in the Coffeehouse. At the lab, Ashley and Ben remember when they made love in the shower.

Sharon thanks Avery for her help. Nick and Dylan discuss Faith running away. Victor asks Tobias about the formula that Ashley is working on in the lab. Victor tells Tobias to get closer to Ashley so she will tell him her secrets. Ashley and Ben think that what happened between them was a one night thing and they should go back to just being friends. Abby walks in and invites them to a party but they refuse. Abby senses something amiss between them and wants to know what's going on. Victoria and Billy discuss a date for the christening and that Chelsea should be involved. Victoria wants Chelsea to sit in on their meeting, but Billy says that Chelsea is taking a shower. Victoria lets Billy know that Katie's full name will be Katherine Rose Newman. Billy is upset by this news. Cane, Joe, Colin, and Jill are standing at the Athletic Club discussing the small business owners and what Joe is doing to them by taking their businesses. Jill defends the small business owners and vows to fight to stop Joe and his investors. Joe asks Jill how she lost control of Chancellor Industries and looking across the room, Jill tells him that it was all because of one man. Joe puts Cane up to ask Victor for help in backing his investment. Cane walks over to join Victor at his table. Looking at Constance, Adam urges Sage to take her to a hospital but Sage refuses. Adam walks over to the bed and sits down beside Constance. Constance tells Adam that she has something to tell him that she should have told him a long time ago. At home, Faith will not listen to any of Sharon and Nick's explanations as to why they cannot get back together. Faith gets up and runs upstairs. Sharon looks at Nick and tells him that they cannot go on like this.", "Ashley lets Abby know that nothing is going on between her and Ben. Abby reminds Ben of his getting drunk and going to sleep on the sofa in the lab. Tobias joins them and asks Ashley if there is anything else he can do for her. Ashley tells him no but that after the New Year she will be giving him more responsibility.

I'm on the way.", "Adam: Cute baby.", "Victoria: Thanks.", "Billy: Vick.", "Victoria: I need your help.", "Nick: Faith?! Faith!", "Sharon: Faith? Faith, are you in here?", "Nick: She's not up there.", "Sharon: I saw the light on. I thought maybe...", "Nick: Yeah, me, too.", "Sharon: I must have left it on. God, Nick. Where is she?", "Nick: We're gonna find her, all right? We just got to stay positive.", "Sharon: You're right. You're right. She's okay. She's gonna come home...safe.", "Avery: Are you sure this is Faith's bike?", "Dylan: Yeah. I saw her riding it at the ranch. Nikki and Victor gave it to her for her birthday.", "Avery: Okay, the bike's here. Faith's not.", "Dylan: Something's not right.", "Avery: Yeah. I'm gonna call Nick. I'll call the staff -- see if anybody's seen her.", "Dylan: Avery. You okay? What are you doing here?", "Faith: I had to get away from him.", "Dylan: From who?", "Faith: My dad.", "Nick: I'm at Sharon's. No, dad. Faith is not here, so please call me if you hear anything. Okay. All right. I'm going back out.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Sharon: Hello?", "Dylan: Sharon, it's Dylan. Faith's here at the coffeehouse.", "Sharon: Oh, thank God! She's with Dylan.", "Nick: Okay. I'll call Paul and let him know.", "Sharon: Dylan, we're on our way.", "Stitch: I was hoping adjusting these middle notes would give us the scent we're looking for.", "Ashley: It takes time to perfect a fragrance.", "Stitch: It's frustrating -- all the hours we put in and nothing to show for it.", "Ashley: That's not true. I'll work a little bit longer on it after you leave and see if I can make some headway.", "Stitch: You know, you practically live here lately.", "Ashley: Well, when you feel passionately about something, you don't mind putting in late nights.", "Ashley: Well, then, you leave me no choice.", "Stitch: Ohh! Ohh! Okay. That is -- that is freezing.", "Ashley: It's okay. It's gonna warm up. I promise.", "Stitch: Yeah?", "Ashley: Yeah.", "Stitch: Yeah, you're right.", "Ashley: Aah! Oh, no! No!", "Stitch: It's getting warmer already.", "Ashley: This isn't exactly what I had in mind.", "Stitch: I'll send you my latest calculations.", "Ashley: We can't keep doing this. This is just ridiculous. We're acting like everything is normal between us.", "Victor: Of course! I'm very relieved Faith has been found! Are you kidding? And Nicholas will be happy that you're telling everyone about it. It's an enormous relief. Uh, sweetheart, I'm about to go into a meeting, so I will see you soon, okay? I'm very happy to hear this. Okay. You'd better have a good reason to ask me to come out here.", "Tobias: I do.", "Victor: So, what is Ashley developing in the lab?", "Cane: Well, you didn't exactly expect them to lay down, roll over, and die, did you?", "Joe: Well, I thought my charm would at least win them all over.", "Cane: Well, you've already won over some of Genoa City's biggest movers and shakers, so you should be expecting a lot more people to come to your little cocktail party. Hello.", "Colin: I-I-I-I hope that I'm on the list.", "Jill: Without a plus-one.", "Joe: You know, I'm surprised an intelligent, forward-thinking woman such as yourself is not on the right side of progress, Jill.", "Jill: Oh, I don't like what we're progressing to.", "Cane: Well, maybe you should come to the cocktail party and see what he's proposing.", "Jill: I already know everything I need to know, honey. I'm not gonna change my mind. Besides, I like a good fight.", "Joe: Even one you know that you can't win?", "Jill: You're as confident as you are suave, aren't you? Almost like you know something the rest of us don't.", "Dylan: You want to tell me what happened?", "Faith: Everything was perfect. We were finally gonna be a family again. Then daddy ruined it.", "Dylan: Because he called the wedding off?", "Faith: Mommy's so sad. She pretends she isn't, but I can tell.", "Dylan: I know this is hard, but sometimes adult relationships can be really complicated.", "Faith: But if daddy would just talk to mommy --", "Dylan: Is that why you ran away -- so your mom and dad would talk?", "Sharon: Faith, oh, my God. You're okay. Baby, let me look at you.", "Nick: Sweetheart, you should not have taken off like that. We've been worried sick.", "Sharon: You know what? Let's -- let's get you home, and we'll talk about it there.", "Avery: Here's her coat.", "Sharon: Thank you so much, Avery.", "Dylan: Her bike's right here.", "Nick: Thanks for calling.", "Dylan: Yeah. I'm just -- you know, I'm worried about Faith and how she's handling all this.", "Nick: The breakup's been hard on her. I'm glad she feels like she can trust you. She's gonna need all the support she can get.", "Dylan: How 'bout you? How you doing?", "Nick: Well, you don't have kids, but if you do, you'll understand. When they're in pain, it kills you.", "Victor: What's on the damn thing?", "Tobias: Photographs. They're Dr. Russell's files.", "Victor: You still haven't told me what Ashley is working on.", "Tobias: If you analyze the formulas on the files, you might find what you're looking for.", "Victor: What do you mean, \"might\"?", "Tobias: I know you wanted definitive answers by the end of the year, but I am doing the best that I can.", "Victor: That may not be good enough. You have her confide in you.", "Tobias: That's... not gonna be easy.", "Victor: I don't give a damn if it's easy. Nothing in life is easy, okay? Just do it.", "Ashley: I know we decided to just forget about the whole shower experience and, uh, not let it affect our professional relationship.", "Stitch: It's not working, is it?", "Ashley: It's not working, no.", "Stitch: Look, you know, it's just -- it does feel weird, you know, sleeping with you and then telling you that Victoria and I are back together.", "Ashley: Look, it was a one-night thing, okay? You don't owe me anything. Do you understand? I don't expect anything from you.", "Stitch: But you deserve more than that, Ashley. It's just -- yeah.", "Ashley: I appreciate that. We're adults. I understand that relationships can be messy. Life is a little complicated at times.", "Stitch: Okay. Well, what can I do to uncomplicate things?", "Ashley: How 'bout if we both just hit the \"reset\" button and go back to being friends and colleagues? Can we do that?", "Stitch: That sounds good.", "Abby: Hi.", "Ashley: Hey!", "Abby: Good news -- I just got a text from Noah. They found Faith.", "Ashley: What happened?", "Abby: She ran away. But, hey, who wouldn't? With Sharon as her mother -- yeah, she probably couldn't stand being around her another minute.", "Ashley: I'm sure there's more to it than that. Please.", "Ashley: Whatever. She is back, and hopefully with Nick.", "Stitch: Well, I'm glad she's all right.", "Abby: Yeah. I was planning on spending the whole night looking for her, which I totally would have, but now I can put this to good use.", "Both: Whoa!", "Stitch: Yeah, I'm not sure there's any good use for that. Mnh.", "Abby: Come on! Somebody has got to be the life of the office Christmas party! Come on! Let's go! We're missing all the fun. You know what happens when the suits and the lab coats mix it up.

That's good.", "Victoria: Yeah.", "Billy: And the little angel slept through the whole thing.", "Victoria: Good. Well, thanks for offering to watch her for me while I looked for Faith. I appreciate that.", "Billy: Yeah, of course. I'm glad you came to me.", "Victoria: Listen, while I'm here, I wanted to run some dates past you for the christening.", "Billy: Sure.", "Victoria: Okay. Do you want to ask Chelsea to join us? I mean, this sort of affects her, too.", "Billy: Oh, I appreciate it, but she's -- she's taking a shower, so...", "Victoria: [Chuckles softly] It's kind of amazing, isn't it? Not that long ago, the thought of you and Chelsea and me and Ben at our daughter's christening seemed kind of impossible, I guess.", "Billy: Katie has managed to heal a lot of wounds.", "Victoria: Yeah. Anyway, about the christening --", "Billy: Hey, any date you pick will be just fine with me.", "Victoria: Okay.", "Billy: Something else?", "Victoria: Yes. I'd like to make something official -- her name.", "Billy: Katherine rose?", "Victoria: Katherine Rose Newman.", "Joe: Well, you're right, Jill.

One sideways glance, you could be reduced to a pile of ash.", "Jill: Yeah? I'll reduce you to a pile of ash if you continue to side with your cronies on this.", "Cane: Well, isn't this gonna be a fun family Christmas, huh?", "Jill: The three of you guys just don't get it, do you? A city is a living, breathing thing. You cannot continue to chip away at the heart of it, or eventually, you'll have nothing left. Now, the people who were born here, like, me -- we're gonna do everything we can to keep that from happening.

Excuse me.", "Jill: [Chuckles]", "Colin: Cane's right. I mean, my wife and I might disagree on this matter, but I wouldn't underestimate her -- well, if I were you.", "Joe: Well, I won't do that. But I am curious about one thing -- how is it an astute, cunning businesswoman such as yourself lost control of Chancellor Industries?", "Jill: Ah. There's the reason sitting right over there.", "Cane: Excuse me, Mr. Newman. Is Nikki joining you?", "Victor: No, she's not, but I'm waiting for someone, so...", "Cane: Thank you. Let me get you a drink while you wait. Can you get Mr. Newman a tequila, please? Thank you.

I'm here.", "Constance: I have to tell you something.", "Adam: No, you don't -- you don't have to say anything right now.", "Constance: I've kept it from you too long.", "Adam: Just rest right now, okay?", "Constance: You need to know, Gabriel. It's about your father.", "Sharon: All right, young lady. Sit. We need to get a few things straight. Your dad and I are grateful and relieved that you're okay, but you are never, ever to run off like that again. Is that understood?", "Faith: Yes.", "Sharon: If you are angry or confused, you come and talk to one of us.", "Faith: I did talk to daddy. If he'd just tried to make up with you like I asked, I wouldn't have run away.", "Sharon: Well, that's still no excuse for what you did. And that's not fair to your dad. This breakup is hard on all of us, including him.", "Faith: Then why can't you change his mind?", "Nick: Okay. [Sighs] Look, sweetheart, I know... I know you're hurting. And I'm sorry that this is the way things are. The important thing is that this doesn't change at all how your mother and I feel about you. We both love you so much. And we're gonna do everything we can to make this new arrangement work out for you.", "Faith: You promised we were gonna be a real family again, and that was a lie.", "Sharon: Faith...", "Faith: This is gonna be the worst Christmas ever, and it's all his fault!", "Sharon: We can't go on like this.", "Nick: [Sighs]", "Ashley: Abby, there's nothing going on.", "Abby: Well, then, why did you have such a weird reaction when I mentioned going to the office Christmas party?", "Ashley: I don't know -- maybe because neither one of us intends on going.", "Stitch: Yeah. I was on my way to Victoria's.", "Abby: Of course you were. And what's your excuse?", "Ashley: I think my time is better spent here, sweetie.", "Abby: Mom, you seriously need to get a life. You're spending way too much time with these test tubes and boring chemistry geeks.", "Stitch: She hasn't even started drinking yet.", "Abby: [Chuckle sarcastically] Weren't you leaving?", "Stitch: Heh. Have a nice Christmas.", "Ashley: Thank you. You, too. And thanks for all your hard work.", "Stitch: You're welcome. Hey, Abby, lay off the egg nog.", "Abby: Oh, says the guy who got so drunk last week, he had to spend the night on the couch here.", "Ashley: Stop.", "Abby: Merry Christmas!", "Abby: Something's off with you two.", "Ashley: Tobias. What are you doing here?", "Abby: Yeah. I thought everyone was supposed to be at the office Christmas party.", "Tobias: I came by to see if there was anything you needed me to work on -- maybe some analysis of Dr. Russell's latest samples.", "Ashley: That is so sweet. No. You've been working so hard. Please go to the party. Enjoy yourself.", "Tobias: If you're sure. I --", "Ashley: I really appreciate your dedication. In fact, I've been meaning to tell you that after Christmas, I'm gonna give you even more responsibility here in the lab.", "Tobias: Thanks! That means a lot.", "Ashley: Yeah. You just keep on doing what you're doing. You're gonna get exactly what you deserve.", "Billy: So, you just decided on your own to name our daughter Katie Newman? You don't want her to have my name?", "Victoria: Billy, just try to understand.", "Billy: I don't. I don't understand. How could you do this?", "Victoria: Because for once, I've thought of hers as mine.", "Billy: And now you know that she is ours.", "Victoria: She's gonna be living with me -- okay? -- Going to work with me. I'm reopening the nursery so that I can be near her. And, honestly, Billy, you and I are not together anymore.", "Billy: Vick, I'm her father, just like Johnny is mine, and he has my last name, and Katie's gonna be spending just as much time with me as he does.", "Victoria: I am not gonna try to cut you off from your daughter.", "Billy: Wait. Wait. You're just doing this to get back at me, aren't you? I hurt you, and now you want to hurt me, and what better way, right?", "Victoria: No.", "Billy: Come on, Vick. Admit it. You're still angry at me for blowing up our marriage, our family. You want to make a point, and what better way than to refuse to give my daughter my name?", "Victoria: You're right. It's not fair to you.", "Billy: So, what -- you'll give her my name?", "Victoria: What do you think about the name... Katherine rose Abbott-Newman?", "Billy: I guess I can live with it.", "Victoria: Good. So, Katie Abbott-Newman it is. [Chuckles] I have to get going, but I'll let you know about the dates for the christening, okay?", "Billy: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'll, uh -- I'll bring by Christmas presents later.", "Victoria: Oh, thanks. Are you sure you're okay with the name?", "Billy: I guess I have to be.", "Victoria: Thank you.", "Billy: Yeah.", "Victoria: Bye.", "Billy: Bye. [Sighs]", "Sharon: I hate that this is happening during the holidays.", "Nick: I'm doing everything I can to make this a happy Christmas for Faith.", "Sharon: The only thing that's going to make her happy is if her parents get back together.", "Nick: We both know that is not gonna happen.", "Sharon: Yes, we do. But Faith is a little girl. She still believes that Santa can make miracles happen.", "Nick: Well, I hope you're not giving her false hope.", "Sharon: What are you talking about? How could you even suggest I'd do that?", "Nick: What are you trying to say?", "Sharon: Nick, you made her a promise that we would be a family, and maybe it's my fault that you couldn't keep that promise, or maybe you shouldn't have even made it in the first place. But the point is she's trying to tell us something. If we can't be a family... can we at least not fight?", "Nick: If you're trying to get me to drop the custody suit, forget it.", "Sharon: Even after what happened today, you wouldn't consider it?", "Nick: I am not gonna let Faith's behavior stop me from doing what is best for her.", "Sharon: Maybe what's best for her is that we not get into a tug-of-war over her.", "Nick: Well, maybe we just need to work harder to get her to accept the reality of the situation.", "Avery: Well, I'm sure Nick and Sharon are just relieved. It must be terrifying to think you've lost your child.", "Dylan: Sharon's still facing that possibility.", "Avery: You mean if Nick gets sole custody of Faith?", "Dylan: I know he said that's best, but I'm not sure. I mean, look how it's affected Faith already. Man. You know, being a parent seems terrifying and awesome, all at the same time.", "Avery: Yeah, kind of like jumping out of a plane.", "Dylan: Yeah, like without a parachute.", "Avery: Do you ever think about what we would have been like as parents if our baby had lived?", "Dylan: For a long time, I tried not to. You know, it was too hard wondering what might have been.", "Avery: What about now?", "Dylan: We would have been great parents, and our kid -- our kid would have been amazing.", "[Cell phone chimes]", "Avery: Oh, no. It's bad news.", "Dylan: What is it?", "Avery: The application I filed to have the warehouse district designated as a historical landmark has been denied.", "Dylan: Come on! Are you serious?! Landmark status was our one surefire way of saving these buildings from demolition.", "Avery: It's definitely a setback. But, look, it's not -- it's not a guarantee that the redevelopment project will move forward.", "Dylan: How are we gonna stop them now?", "Avery: The buyer still has to get city permits to do whatever construction he's planning. That gives us time to come up with another strategy.", "Dylan: You said it yourself -- this is our best shot.", "Avery: It's not our only shot.", "Dylan: Well, first the mayor cancels -- now this happens?", "Avery: It's a couple of roadblocks.", "Dylan: Avery, you don't believe that. You're thinking the same thing I am -- that somebody with a lot of power is getting to all the people who can help us.", "Joe: Well, you're still upset that Victor Newman was given control of Chancellor --", "Jill: Given control? Please. He stole it.", "Joe: Interesting, because I read that Katherine Chancellor bequeathed her company to Mr. Newman in her will.", "Jill: He conned a little old lady out of her company.", "Joe: Or maybe it was that she felt that he was better suited to continue her legacy.", "Colin: Look, let's agree to disagree on this one and get back to a much more interesting subject -- your redevelopment project.", "Joe: What about it?", "Colin: Well, I've recently come in to a spot of cash that I'm looking to invest in a potentially profitable enterprise, like yours.", "Joe: Well, you know, we're always looking for additional funding to possibly close a deal, but if we need that, I'll be in touch. If you would, excuse me, please.", "Jill: Mm-hmm.", "Colin: What?", "Jill: Don't \"what\" me. You wouldn't have two dimes to rub together if I hadn't prevented you from paying off that slimeball Kurtz.", "Colin: Something which I am eternally grateful for.", "Jill: Really? And this is how you show your gratitude -- by backing something you know I'm opposed to?", "Joe: I'm sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to say hello.", "Victor: And you are?", "Cane: Uh, Victor, this is my friend Joe Clark. Joe is representing the investors in the warehouse-redevelopment project. Victor said he will be attending the cocktail party.", "Joe: Well, that's great to hear.", "Victor: But I will not be used to draw in other investors, all right?", "Joe: Well, I appreciate your candor. You could understand why I had to try -- a man of your reputation.", "Victor: I'll be at the gathering. You have a nice day.", "Joe: It was good to see you. Cane.", "Cane: Joe.", "Victor: Just a friend?", "Cane: Former business acquaintance.", "Victor: He's your conduit back to the corporate world?", "Cane: That would be if I wanted to come back to the corporate world, but I've already told you I'm very happy where I am.", "Victor: Well, you must be aware of what's going on in the business world.", "Cane: I read the financial page. Always tracked what's happened to, uh, Chancellor over at Newman-Chancellor. Why wouldn't I? It was Katherine's company. I care about that.", "Victor: So, you must have an opinion of how things are going.", "Cane: Are you referring to, uh, how you have not rebounded after the Bonaventure debacle? Is that it?", "Victor: One day I'll find out who was behind that. It was quite a setback.", "Cane: Yes, it was. Between the SEC. Fines, the lawsuit, and the recall costs, it was probably very expensive for you.", "Victor: Well... just so you know, I have things in the pipeline that will more than make up for the losses that we incurred.", "Constance: Gabriel...", "Adam: I'm here.", "Constance: ...You have to know.", "Adam: About my father? What is it?", "Constance: He built all this by himself.", "Adam: With his software empire, right?", "Constance: He did it for you, Gabriel. He loved you.", "Adam: And I loved him, too.", "Constance: Everything he worked so hard for was stolen from him.", "Adam: Uh, yeah. The hostile takeover of his company -- yeah, I remember.", "Constance: Losing it was too much for him.", "Adam: Grandmother, I know you think his heart attack was a result --", "Constance: It wasn't a heart attack.", "Adam: Okay. I was told that it was a heart attack.", "Constance: Your father... committed suicide.", "Adam: Why didn't you, uh -- why didn't you ever tell me that?", "Constance: 'Cause I wanted to protect you. And now my time is -- now my time is running out, and I...", "Adam: Don't talk like that.", "Constance: ...Want you to know who was responsible for the death of your father.", "Adam: Let's not talk about that right now, okay?", "Constance: His company was taken over by Newman enterprises. Victor Newman... killed your father.", "Sharon: Your father and I understand that you're disappointed that things didn't turn out the way we all thought they would.", "Faith: Now we have to be the kind of family who lives apart again.", "Sharon: I know that's not what you want. But you still have two parents who love you more than anything in the world. And you get to have two amazing Christmases.", "Nick: With lots of presents and lots of love.", "Sharon: Okay?", "Nick: Kiddo, I know you have friends whose parents don't live together.", "Faith: But they don't love each other like you and mommy do. If you guys could just get back together, I promise I will never ask for anything ever again.", "Nick: I'm sorry. We can't give that to you.", "Sharon: It'll be okay.", "Faith: No, it won't!", "Nick: [Sighs]", "Stitch: Delivery from the north pole.", "Victoria: Wow! I had no idea there was a Fenmore's at the north pole.", "Stitch: Well, maybe. I just wanted to get a few gifts for some of my favorite kids.", "Victoria: A few gifts?", "Stitch: Yeah.", "Victoria: [Chuckles]", "Stitch: Okay. I confess. Maybe I was trying to impress their mom.", "Victoria: Yeah.", "[Both laugh]", "Victoria: There's no need for that, and I thought you were coming over on Christmas.", "Stitch: Oh. I-I mean, I didn't want to presume.", "Victoria: No. I mean, don't be silly. I want you to come by, if you want to come over.", "Stitch: I'd love to. I haven't had a real Christmas since the last one I had with Jenna and max.", "Victoria: You said you were gonna call her and let her know what really happened.", "Stitch: Yeah. I-I tried. She's -- she's not taking my calls.", "Victoria: I don't understand. I thought that you were video-chatting with max.", "Stitch: I think all the questions from Billy and Chelsea made her afraid that the truth was gonna come out, so I can't -- I can't blame her for trying to protect max, you know? She'll get in touch with me eventually. I just hope that Jenna at least is giving max all the gifts I sent him.", "Victoria: I'm sorry. You don't deserve to be cut off from your son, especially this time of year.", "Stitch: Hey... I got you, and I am so grateful for that.", "Victoria: Come here. You know what? I'm gonna make sure you have a really happy Christmas.", "Ashley: You can't be completely shocked that Victoria wants Katie to have the Newman last name.", "Billy: I can and I am, and I'm pretty ticked about it.", "Abby: I'm sure you could hire a high-powered attorney to fight it if you wanted.", "Billy: I don't want to fight with Victoria over this. Katie's my daughter. She should have my name.", "Abby: You said Victoria agreed to add \"Abbott\" to her name, right?", "Billy: And \"Newman\" still comes after it. It just feels so Victor-like, like he's gotten inside her head and turned her against me.", "Ashley: I kind of think that you're jumping to conclusions here.", "Billy: The guy has opened up a nursery at Newman-Chancellor. The next thing you know, he's gonna move her into the ranch and start filling her full of ideas about her worthless father.", "Ashley: Billy...", "Billy: What?", "Ashley: ...Victoria is not gonna let Victor poison Katie's mind against you.", "Billy: So, you think he's gonna be okay with her being half Newman?", "Abby: Yeah. I mean, he was with me.", "Billy: Well, that's because Ashley raised you away from Victor. My daughter is going to be under his constant influence.", "Ashley: I think you're gonna have to trust Victoria on this.", "Abby: Yeah, and stop imagining a war when my dad hasn't even launched an attack.", "Billy: Give it time.", "Abby: You know what? I am so glad that you came here to come to the office party with me. Blow off some steam, all right? Forget all about it.", "Billy: I appreciate it, Abby, but I'm just not feeling it.", "Abby: Oh, my gosh. Does anybody around here believe in having fun, or is it all up to me?", "Ashley: Go have fun for all of us.", "Abby: Remember, you said that.", "Ashley: Uh-oh. Don't make me sorry.", "Abby: Pbbt!", "Billy: I think that's a safe bet.", "Ashley: Do you want to tell me the truth now?", "Billy: About what?", "Ashley: About why this name thing really bothers you so much? Please don't try to tell me that it has anything to do with Victor.", "Nick: I'm doing what I think is best for Faith.", "Sharon: I know. I don't agree with you, but I believe you.", "Nick: I wish things could be different.", "Sharon: I thought we were finally gonna be able to put all the pieces back together. Just because things didn't work out doesn't mean that we can't make this a wonderful Christmas for Faith.", "Nick: We will.", "Ashley: Do you want me to tell you what I think?", "Billy: Like I could stop you.", "Ashley: You're upset that Victoria wants Katie to have the last name Newman 'cause you think that what she's actually saying to you is that it's over once and for all for the two of you.", "Billy: It's scary how well you know me.", "Ashley: Sorry.", "Billy: You know, sometimes I think back to right before Dee Dee... [Sighs] My life was on this trajectory of happiness -- you know, good times -- and then, boom, it all got blown off track, and, uh... no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get it back.", "Ashley: Until now.", "Billy: Yeah, Katie's brought all this joy back into our lives.", "Ashley: Isn't there any way that she can help put you and Victoria back on the path you were on before?", "Billy: Vick and I are just friends now. I mean, we're -- we're...co-parents. [Sighs] I can't get it back.", "Ashley: Are you sure?", "Billy: I'm with Chelsea now. And we're happy.", "Stitch: Are you sure you don't want me to go grab us something from the burger beat?", "Victoria: Uh, no. As tempting as that sounds, I have a few last-minute Christmas details to take care of.", "Stitch: Yeah? I guess I can handle that since we're gonna be together on Christmas.", "Victoria: And I'm really looking forward to that.", "Stitch: When I think about how close I came to losing you...", "Victoria: What?! Oh, come on. That's behind us now, okay? Okay?", "Stitch: Okay. You sure you want me to leave?", "Victoria: Yes. I need you to go. I won't be able to get your gift.", "Stitch: Ooh! Ooh! Can I get a hint?", "Victoria: Uh, no.", "Stitch: Has it got a big engine, four wheels, huh?", "Victoria: Some diamonds.", "Stitch: Really?", "Victoria: You better get me something great. Get out!", "Stitch: Let me give you something. Come here. Come here.", "Victoria: Bye. Go!", "Victoria: Hi. This is Victoria Newman. I know you probably were not expecting to hear from me. But I need to speak to you. It's about Christmas.", "Colin: You stand for the fine people of Genoa City who want to preserve history and the beautification of this lovely town. Me? Well, I'm one of the carpet-bagging bastards who wants to make millions of dollars through progress and redevelopment. You make us -- you make us look good. Me? I-I make us money.", "Cane: Oh. Sorry about that. So, can I get you guys a table?", "Jill: What was that little powwow with Victor?", "Cane: Little powwow?", "Jill: Hmm.", "Cane: Oh. Uh, Victor said he would come to Joe's cocktail party.", "Jill: It's not bad enough that he's destroying Katherine's legacy. Now he's determined to tear away the fabric of our city.", "Colin: Look, you can't do anything about Victor's involvement with Joe Clark. What I don't understand is how you two could let him take Chancellor Industries.", "Cane: We didn't let him take Chancellor Industries. Katherine gave it to him in her will. And there's nothing we can do about it.", "Jill: Maybe. Maybe not.", "Avery: You're right -- someone is pulling out all the stops to make sure this development deal goes through.", "Dylan: Yeah, somebody who stands to again a lot of money from all this property.", "Avery: Well, whoever it is, they must be pretty powerful to have the mayor and the landmark commission on their side.", "Dylan: We've got a bigger battle on our hands than we thought.", "Victor: So, what's the word?", "Joe: Everything's going according to plan.", "Adam: Grandmother, are you saying my father killed himself over a business deal with Victor Newman?", "Constance: [Chuckles] He didn't care what destroying my son would do.", "Adam: Well, I don't doubt that. From what I've heard, Newman would destroy his own son if it meant he got what he wanted.", "Constance: Promise me you'll make him pay for what he did to your father.", "Adam: I promise you... Victor Newman will suffer for everything he's done.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Mariah: What's going on?", "Kevin: Just get over to the police station right away. I need your help.", "Dylan: I brought you something. It's a Christmas present.", "Sharon: Victor." ]

[ "Nikki and Victoria prepare the Top of the Tower for a family Christmas party. They reminisce about happier Christmases and forget to get a punch bowl. Victoria offers to get one from GCAC. Jill sees Billy at the GCAC bar and urges him to fight for his marriage and not try to drink or gamble his problems away. Jill thinks Billy should go to Newman Enterprises to talk things through with Victoria. By the time Vitoria gets there, Billy has gone but Jill asks Victoria to forgive Billy. Billy goes to Newman but finds Victor instead of Victoria. Victor reminds him of what a loser he is and tells him to stay away from Victoria. Victor tells Luca and Marisa to go home early but Luca thinks Victor is trying to get rid of them. Noah says it was his idea and they agree to leave. In the hall, Luca shows Marisa a picture of Ava that was sent to him on his phone. He tries to show Noah but Noah clearly doesn't want to see it. The phone is broken and an argument ensues. Victor joins them and fires Noah, saying Noah isn't mature enough for the level of responsibility he'd been given. Luca and Marisa stand up for Noah and Victor agrees to keep Noah on. Back in Victor's office, Victor tells Noah that was just for show to make Luca think he is getting respect. Noah asks Victor to join him for the Christmas party but he declines. Neil doesn't want Hilary working for Simon because he is a loose cannon but Hilary wants to help people and feels it is her obligation. Gwen joins them and makes snide remarks that are made indirectly to Neil. Simon thinks Ashley is working herself too hard and needs to realize that there are no guarantees in research, there are risks involved. They share a drink. Cane decides to spend the night at Lily's so he can be there when the twins open their gifts. He tells Colin not to worry, he's sleeping in the guest room.", "" ]

[ "Jill: Billy, this is your mother. Again. Telling you to call me. Again. Please do it this time.", "Colin: Can I interest you in a, um, slice of holiday fruitcake? 'Tis the season.", "Jill: [Laughs] Nobody eats that stuff. Besides, how can you even think about sweets or booze at a time like this?", "Colin: Christmas time?", "Jill: No, darling. I'm talking about Billy. I'm worried about him.", "Colin: Oh, that. [Chuckles] Well, look, I wouldn't let it get you down, really.", "Jill: Colin, you may believe in this hands-off kind of parenting with cane, but I cannot stand by and watch my son self-destruct.", "Colin: Sweetheart, look, that's not what I meant.", "Jill: I know it's not what you mean. It's just Billy's been in such a tailspin ever since Jack fired him from jabot and -- and -- and Victoria left him. And...he may be in a ditch somewhere, okay? Or he may be gambling his last cent away.", "Colin: Or... standing over there. Looks pretty good for a guy that just stepped out of a ditch.", "Nikki: Isn't it wonderful how quickly my idea came together?", "Victoria: Mom, the place looks great.", "Nikki: Yeah, well, it just shows you what Newman women can do when they set their minds to it. We are going to have a beautiful Christmas eve party for the whole family.", "Victoria: The whole family?", "Nikki: Yeah, well, now that Nicholas and sage have patched things up, hopefully they can get back in time to join us.", "Victoria: That would be really nice. I can't help thinking, though, about someone who won't be here.", "Nikki: Don't. Billy has already ruined one Christmas party at the underground.", "Victoria: What makes you think I'm talking about Billy?", "Nikki: Oh, well, if you're referring to your father, since he's decided to be scrooge this year and work on Christmas eve, we can get along just fine without him.", "Victoria: Uh-huh. Okay. I'm not buying it, mom.", "Nikki: What do you mean? What are you talking about?", "Victoria: Let me put it to you this way. You could have hosted this party anyplace, and you chose this building, where dad happens to be working.", "Nikki: Yeah? It was handy.", "Victoria: Or maybe you're secretly hoping that he'll stop crunching numbers and he'll come up here and join us tonight.", "Luca: You wanted to see us, Victor?", "Victor: I just wanted to tell you to call it a night and start your holiday.", "Marisa: Thank you, Victor. That's very generous of you.", "Luca: He's not being generous. My family has a deal with Newman, which you keep trying to forget. As part of that deal, I am the eyes and ears of the Santori family. You don't get to just shut me out and send me home.", "Victor: Why are you so cynical? What happened to peace on earth and goodwill to all men?", "Lily: Hey.", "Cane: Hey. Uh, listen, um...about tonight...", "Lily: Please don't tell me that you're canceling on me. We agreed to have one last Christmas together.", "Cane: I know.", "Lily: Well, we can't cancel on the twins. We already told them.", "Cane: I'm not canceling on the twins.", "Lily: You're not?", "Cane: I was thinking maybe, you know, probably I should maybe come over and stay the night. I mean, in the guest room. You know, with the twins waking up at the crack of dawn to open presents, I should be there for it, so... is this something that's okay with you?", "Lily: Yeah. Yeah. That's -- that's okay with me.", "Cane: Okay.", "Devon: Listen, I don't care about the forecast. Just please have the jet ready, 'cause I'm not gonna spend the holidays here. All right? I have one last thing to take care of, and then I'm gonna hit a beach far away from Genoa city.", "Neil: Hey, hold on. Hold on a minute, okay? You got to let me pull the plug on this before dr. Neville makes you his personal lab rat. It's way too dangerous here.", "Hilary: I'm the only one who can do this, Neil. I was patient zero for dr. Neville's treatment.", "Neil: Listen to me. You don't have to be obligated to do this.", "Hilary: I'm the living proof that it works.", "Neil: Yeah, but your recovery came with a tremendous risk.", "Hilary: A risk that you were willing to take on my behalf.", "Neil: I had no choice.", "Hilary: Exactly. You did what you had to do to save me, and now I want to save others. Someone has to be the guinea pig.", "Neil: [Sighs] Hilary, come on.", "Hilary: And this time, it's my choice.", "Dr. Neville: But it's ridiculous. We're not gonna cut media and publicity like you've suggested here.", "Gwen: This is the operating budget.", "Dr. Neville: [Chuckles] Then I need a judge's ruling on this one. Ashley, what do you think? Ashley? You all right?", "Ashley: I'm fine.", "Dr. Neville: Uh-huh. Nice try. I am a doctor, remember? What's wrong?", "Ashley: It's just a headache.", "Dr. Neville: Well, do you know what caused it?", "Ashley: Yes. All this arguing about business versus science. Would you just suck it up and stop arguing with Gwen?", "Gwen: Excellent advice.", "Dr. Neville: But this micromanaging is --", "Ashley: Comes with millions of dollars attached, Simon.", "Dr. Neville: But Devon said we had --", "Ashley: What is the use of coming up with a cure if you can't share it with anybody because of sloppy paperwork?", "Dr. Neville: So, we waste time on rules and red tape while someone out there is desperate for precisely the kind of breakthrough I used to treat Hilary.", "Ashley: We owe it to that person to do things right.", "Neil: Are you doing this to keep me out of prison?", "Hilary: Okay, yes. That's how it began. Right, I didn't want Neville to tell the police that you were the one who was keeping me in the boathouse all those months.", "Neil: I am prepared to face that, Hilary.", "Hilary: But you know what Neville's threat proved to me? It proved that he is willing to sacrifice anything and anyone for his research.", "Neil: Okay. All the more reason that you shouldn't get involved.", "Hilary: No, it's because it works, Neil. Neville's discovery -- it helps people. And if I can save someone's life the way that Neville saved mine, that's my obligation.", "Neil: Wait, now. Wait. That -- the man's a loose cannon.", "Hilary: Well, that's the reason why you convinced Devon to have you oversee the project. Okay. Come on. You can handle Neville. I think we're overlooking the real wild card.", "Neil: Which is...?", "Hilary: Your ex-girlfriend.", "Neil: Gwen?", "Hilary: She knows that you can be arrested for what you did. And like Neville, she is leveraging that information to get what she wants. You.", "Neil: You are barking up the wrong tree here.", "Hilary: Oh, then why is she working here?", "Neil: She angled for this job because Jack -- he made cutbacks and let her go.", "Hilary: She lied for you, Neil. She risked her freedom for you.", "Neil: She's a good person.", "Hilary: [Chuckles] No. It's because she loves you.", "Neil: Past-tense. Right after we broke up, I could tell -- everyone could tell that she hates me now.", "Hilary: Yeah, that was then. Now, I-I guess she wants you back.", "Neil: Not a chance.", "Hilary: She wouldn't be pulling strings to work here if she hated you, Neil. Trust me.", "Nikki: I would love for your father to come, too, but he probably won't. So... if you want, go ahead and invite Billy.", "Victoria: Look, I really feel badly keeping Billy away from his kids on Christmas eve. I want him to be here to tease them about Santa Claus bringing gifts. Or not, based on their behavior. I want that. For as long as possible, I want them to see their father as a hero, somebody that would be there for them and never let them down, be a strong presence in their life, but if he shows up here drunk or out of control --", "Nikki: Oh, my god. He wouldn't do that, would he?", "Victoria: Well, there was a time when he wouldn't, but now I just don't know. Do you know what I wish, mom?", "Nikki: What?", "Victoria: I wish that we could just have the most beautiful Christmas tied up with a big bow, [Chuckles] Just like in those old-fashioned Christmas movies.", "Nikki: Oh, god, yes. They were so great. Like jimmy Stewart, when he realizes he's not a failure and life is worth living and he runs home through the snow to his wife and children.", "Victoria: And those sappy Christmas commercials. They always make me cry.", "Nikki: Oh, god. Me, too.", "[Both chuckle]", "Nikki: Oh, my gosh. Well, now that we're confessing... I choke up when I see the Grinch. [Chuckles]", "Victoria: The Grinch? [Laughs]", "Nikki: He reminds me of your father.", "Victoria: Oh, yeah. A dead ringer. Well, who knows? Maybe dad's heart will grow and grow and he'll show up and dance around the Christmas tree with all of us.", "Nikki: [Laughs] Oh, right.", "Both: Not a chance.", "Victor: My wife has accused me of being scrooge, you know, for making my family work on Christmas eve. And here I'm offering the two of you to go home, take it easy, and you accuse me of having an ulterior motive.", "Luca: You're trying to get rid of me.", "Victor: [Laughs] That's silly nonsense. You know that.", "Luca: And you're trying to go back on your agreement with the Santoris. Okay? Not a good idea, Victor.", "Victor: Oh, yeah? You know what's not a good idea? Is to threaten me.", "[Knock on door]", "Noah: Hey, not to take credit or anything, but it actually was my idea to give Marisa and Luca the night off.", "Marisa: It was?", "Noah: Yeah. Yeah, get out of here. I'll take care of things here. Got nowhere else I need to be. Besides, gives me a chance to work with my grandfather one- on-one. I do have a lot to learn.", "Luca: Yeah, no doubt. Well, since you're making this offer, Noah, we accept.", "Noah: Great.", "Victor: All right. We settled that.", "Noah: Have a good time.", "Marisa: Merry Christmas, Noah.", "Noah: Merry Christmas.", "[Door closes]", "Victor: That impudent little boy.", "Noah: Mm-hmm.", "Victor: You know, you handled this very well.", "Noah: Thank you.", "Victor: You made him underestimate you.", "Noah: It's nice to see the plan come together.", "Victor: You're a smart boy.", "Noah: Thank you.", "Victor: You're thinking ahead.", "Noah: You know what? There's actually something I'd like to show you that I've been working on.", "Victor: You bet.", "Luca: Carmen just sent this photo of Ava.", "Marisa: She's opening the Christmas present we sent her.", "Luca: [Chuckles] Look at that face. So sweet.", "Marisa: And so happy.", "[Door opens]", "Noah: What are you still doing here? Talking shop? Get out of here.", "Luca: Uh, we were actually just looking at a photo of our daughter. Ava may be far away, but she's never far from our thoughts. In fact, I-I think she makes us feel closer.", "Noah: That's sweet.", "Marisa: Um, le-let's go, Luca.", "Luca: Yeah, certainly. Would you -- would you like to look at the photo, Noah? As a proud father, I can't resist showing off my little girl.", "Noah: Sure. She's beautiful, Luca.", "Luca: Yeah, like her mother.", "Noah: Yeah.", "Luca: Can you see the resemblance?", "Noah: I can. Yeah.", "Luca: Look closer.", "Noah: I -- it's really --", "Luca: No, look --", "Noah: It's not necessary. Luca, just --", "Luca: You did that on purpose.", "Noah: [Sighs]", "Gwen: Here are the latest purchase orders. We need you to sign off on them before we can stock supplies for Neville's research.", "Hilary: Well, you are just jumping right into this project, aren't you?", "Gwen: Well, when I believe in someone, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for them. And I saw firsthand what Neville's capable of.", "Hilary: Yes. Neville is a genius. We should do everything we can to help him.", "Gwen: Some of us are doing more than others. Like Ashley. She's so dedicated to finding a cure that she's inspiring everyone.", "Neil: Gwen, you're forgetting someone. Hilary's made one hell of a contribution here.", "Gwen: I'm sure you're doing your own small part, Hilary, by having your blood taken a few times a week.", "Neil: None of us would be here in this position if it weren't for this lady.", "Gwen: You do not need to remind me of that, Neil. I am well aware of how we got here and why. Thank you.", "Neil: [Sighs]", "Hilary: She wants you, Neil. She wants you bad.", "Lily: Do not think that you're getting off easy by bringing these tonight, 'cause I still expect you at the house early to open presents.", "Devon: Well, actually, I'm --", "Lily: No. No excuses. Mattie and Charlie need your help putting them together and making sure there's plenty of batteries.", "Devon: There's no assembly required, and batteries are included, so the kids won't even notice when I'm not there.", "Lily: Not there?", "Devon: Yeah. I'm gonna go to Miami for Christmas, 'cause it's too cold in Wisconsin.", "Lily: Are we talking about Wisconsin or are we talking about a woman who lives here? You can't escape your feelings, Devon, even if you're lounging on a beach.", "Devon: But I can have fun trying.", "Lily: Please, stay. I need my brother.", "Devon: Why do you need me? You have the twins and you have cane.", "Lily: Exactly. I need you to stop me from making a fool of myself.", "Devon: What does that mean? What did you do?", "Lily: [Sighs] I snapped at cane when all he was doing was trying to ask if he could spend the night. In the guest room.", "Devon: Okay, well, that's just a few feet away from your guys' bedroom. That's progress, right?", "Jill: How many times do I have to tell you that drowning your sorrows in vodka will not help?", "Billy: And a merry Christmas to you, too, mom. And that, by the way, is water.", "Jill: Right. All right. Okay. So, why haven't you returned my calls, then?", "Billy: Oh, so many places to go with that.", "Jill: It's not funny, Billy. I have been worried sick.", "Billy: And I have been at the Abbott cabin with Phyllis and Jack. There's not very good reception there.", "Jill: Wait. You were with Jack?", "Billy: Oh, don't -- don't get carried away.", "Jill: No, no, no. That is wonderful. I-I thought after he fired you from jabot, you'd just be --", "Billy: That I'd be what? All sad and lonely and feeling sorry for myself? Well, I was, but Phyllis dragged me to the cabin, and, yeah, good things happen.", "Jill: Good. Jack forgave you? He gave you your job back at jabot?", "Billy: What a Christmas miracle that would have been, but no. It didn't -- it didn't go like that.", "Jill: Well, then, what happened?", "Billy: Jack and I talked. You know, we hashed some things out. And we're better now.", "Jill: And that's it?", "Billy: Well, it was good, mom. You know, I realized that my life is worth living, that I owe it to Delia to... I owe it -- I owe it to Delia not to succumb to my demons, okay? Especially the one named Newman.", "Marisa: Nice. The phone's broken. The photo of Ava's lost.", "Noah: That's not really how it works, okay? I'm -- I'm sorry. It was an accident.", "Luca: Yeah, okay. You've done enough, all right? Just leave us alone. Leave Marisa alone.", "Noah: I'm sure we can get the picture back. It's on a server somewhere. It's fine.", "Luca: Look, if you hadn't come at me, okay, and pushed the phone away --", "Victor: Will you stop this confrontation right now?! I'm trying to bring my company back from the brink. Family or no family, you're no longer welcome at Newman enterprises.", "Luca: You can't do that. Okay? The Santoris have a deal.", "Victor: I don't give a damn about the Santoris. I'm talking about my grandson.", "Noah: Wait. I mean, you're -- you're -- you're firing me?", "Victor: Noah, you left me no choice. I brought you back to this company reluctantly. You've proven again you're not ready for this level of responsibility.", "Luca: If Noah can redirect that youthful passion towards Newman's competitors, he's sure to be a credit to the company.", "Noah: Okay, I don't need you to speak for me, Luca. I'd appreciate --", "Marisa: Luca's not angry. Neither am I. Can we please just let it go?", "Victor: All right. Since Marisa and Luca are willing to let this go, I'll give you a pass. Consider this your Christmas bonus.", "Marisa: Enjoy your holiday. Both of you. Come on. Let's go.", "Noah: I really don't know what to say. Uh, I don't understand.", "Victor: Sit down. You just gave me an opportunity to reinforce the idea in Luca's mind that you are the weak link in the Newman chain. That will prove to be useful, got it?", "Noah: So, that whole thing about there --", "Victor: Was only a way to massage that vain fellow's ego, to give him the respect he thinks he deserves.", "Noah: Good work.", "Victor: Okay. Let's get back to work.", "Noah: No, I got a better idea, grandpa. How about we, uh, turn off the lights, go upstairs, and go to the party.", "Victor: What party?", "Noah: Grandma's throwing a family party upstairs, top of the tower.", "Victor: Oh. Well, why don't you go. You don't want to be late.", "Noah: I-I-I can't go without you. It's your -- it's your building. It's prac-- you're the boss.", "Victor: You've got that right. Did a hell of a job.", "Noah: Merry Christmas, grandpa.", "Victor: You belong at this company.", "Noah: Thank you.", "Victor: Have a great time up there.", "Noah: Thank you.", "Victor: Yep.", "Jill: Good for you and Jack. Now, that's very, very adult. And now that you've worked out all your differences, it's probably only a matter of time before you're back at jabot, right?", "Billy: Whoa, whoa, mom. Slow down. Jack and I still have a long ways to go, and I have a lot left to prove, and not just to my brother.", "Jill: Oh, right. To Victoria.", "Billy: No. No, to myself. I mean, I'm sick and tired of being the punch line to every family joke. I want to make something out of my life, something I can actually be proud of.", "Jill: I love to hear you talk in this way. Now go. Go tell Victoria about all this.", "Billy: Mom, I can't just drop in on her.", "Jill: No, no, no. Go to where she works. I mean, knowing Victor, he's got them working late on Christmas eve.", "Billy: Yeah, probably, but I'm not doing that.", "Jill: Honey, if you were able to patch things up with Jack, surely you can with Victoria.", "Billy: Mom, Victoria has made it abundantly clear that she doesn't want me to be a part of her life.", "Jill: You will never be out of her heart, and therefore, you will never, ever be out of her life.", "Cane: Yeah, I hear Billy's got some troubles, huh?", "Colin: Billy's got no one to blame but himself. You, on the other hand -- you were framed. Joe Clark could cost you your marriage and the chance to spend Christmas with your kids.", "Cane: Actually, I'm going to lily's tonight, and I'm gonna stay over for Christmas. In the guest room, dad. I'm staying in the guest room. You don't have to worry about it.", "Colin: Look, what happens after the kids have opened up all their gifts, stuffed themselves full of holiday candy, and then crashed for an afternoon nap, hmm?", "Cane: I'll come back here.", "Colin: Or... you could stay over for a night or three.", "Cane: I haven't forgiven, dad, and I can't forget that easily.", "Colin: Can you divorce?", "Cane: We haven't talked about divorce.", "Colin: We're -- we're sleeping over, but we're not forgiving.", "Cane: Okay, all right.", "Colin: And we're not divorcing. We're certainly confused, by the sound of it.", "Cane: That is it, dad. That it is.", "Lily: Cane is never gonna forgive me for sleeping with Joe. Tonight is only about the kids.", "Devon: Well, what about tomorrow and the day after that?", "Lily: I don't see things changing.", "Devon: Why do you say that? I mean, Joe's gone. He's out of our lives. He's not gonna be a threat. And you were never in love with the guy.", "Lily: Yeah, and does that make sleeping with him better or worse?", "Devon: Well, I think that cane understands that Joe kind of took advantage of you.", "Lily: No. No, I opened the door when I stopped believing in my husband when he needed me most.", "Devon: If dad can forgive Hilary and me for having an affair behind his back, I think that cane can find it in his heart to forgive you.", "Lily: And what about you? Instead of running off to Florida, can you start the new year by forgiving Hilary for still having feelings for dad?", "Dr. Neville: Oh. Hilary left me a present. Oh! An ornament. Now all I need is a tree.", "Ashley: Simon?", "Dr. Neville: Uh-huh?", "Ashley: How did you develop the protocol to save Hilary's life?", "Dr. Neville: In what sense?", "Ashley: What sense? I mean, did you do some kind of testing on patients? How many?", "Dr. Neville: Hilary was my only patient. Until I met her, my work was theoretical.", "Ashley: Then what we're doing right now could be a complete waste of time.", "Dr. Neville: [Chuckles] Oh, ms. Abbott, you know how research works. Nothing is guaranteed.", "Marisa: Thank you, Luca.", "Luca: For seeing you to your room?", "Marisa: [Chuckles] For what you did for Noah. If you hadn't said anything, Victor would have fired him.", "Luca: [Sighs] I didn't do it for Noah. I did it for you.", "Marisa: But Noah and I --", "Luca: Listen, that relationship may be over, but I know you still care about him. Good night, Marisa.", "Marisa: You can come in. I mean, if you want to.", "Luca: Uh... I don't want to push things. And besides, now that we're working together, we have to follow the company's fraternization guidelines.", "Marisa: [Laughs]", "Luca: [Laughs]", "Marisa: Have you ever followed guidelines?", "Luca: Only one. The same one that allowed us to leave our daughter with the only family she knows.", "Marisa: And that guideline is...?", "Luca: When it doubt, follow your heart.", "Colin: I'm not pushing divorce, but lily's given you quite a bit of provocation here. And if that's your decision, well, I support it.", "Cane: Well, thank you for that. But right now, all I care about is the kids having the best Christmas possible, so let's just...", "Colin: I'm sure that you can make that happen. Merry Christmas, son.", "Cane: You, too, dad. You, too, mate. I'll see you later, okay?", "Colin: Yeah.", "Cane: All right. Hey.", "Jill: What was that about?", "Colin: He's sleeping over at Lily's.", "Jill: Whoa.", "Colin: Guest room. Uh, so, how's Billy doing? Still in Victoria's doghouse?", "Jill: Well, for now. Baby, what are we toasting?", "Colin: Long shots. Who'd have thought that of all the marriages, ours is the one that lasts?", "Jill: [Chuckles] Me.", "Victoria: Mom, everybody is gonna be here soon, and we're headed for a big disaster.", "Nikki: Please do not say the \"d\" word. It reminds me of the last time we were all in this room.", "Victoria: Oh, right. Okay, well, we have enough punch and plenty of champagne, but we have nothing to serve it in.", "Nikki: Oh. Well, I'll go to the club and I'll ask lily to borrow a punch bowl.", "Victoria: No, no, no. I'll go. It's my fault for getting us caught up in memories of happier Christmases. I'm over it.", "Nikki: Aw. All right, sweetie. Hurry up.", "Victoria: Okay. I'll be right back.", "Nikki: Thank you.", "Victoria: Sure.", "Nikki: Some things, we never get over.", "Victor: I want to spend every Christmas with you for the rest of our lives.", "Nikki: I wouldn't be anywhere else except right here in your arms. I love you. Oh, merry Christmas, my darling.", "Victor: Merry Christmas to you, my sweetheart.", "[Knock on door]", "Victor: Come in. James.", "James: Sorry, Mr. Newman. I didn't know you were still working.", "Victor: That's all right. Come in. By the way, James, I don't think we ever discussed the night of the fire. Didn't go unnoticed how heroic you were, helping a lot of people out of that inferno.", "James: Oh, it's part of the job.", "Victor: You did more than just your job, all right? And your efforts will be reflected in your Christmas bonus.", "James: Oh, well, thank you, sir. [Chuckles] But aren't you missing that shindig upstairs?", "Victor: To paraphrase you, this is part of my job.", "James: [Chuckles] Well, so is being with your family. Merry Christmas, Mr. Newman.", "Victor: Merry Christmas to you, James. Thank you, again.", "Ashley: But before you tried your method on Hilary, you did test it through other means, correct?", "Dr. Neville: As best I could.", "Ashley: As best you could?! I'm asking you. You can heal other brains the way you healed hers, right?", "Dr. Neville: Well, that's the point. I mean, that is what we're doing here, isn't it? We're trying to recreate that success. I mean, yes, if -- if you want to be pessimistic, I suppose I could say that my cure might have been a fluke.", "Ashley: It can't be a fluke. I mean, for people out there, your research is their only hope.", "Dr. Neville: Ah. You know, we've been at this, uh, a lot today. Why don't you, uh, adjourn, you know? Go celebrate the solstice festival with your family.", "Ashley: No, I'm -- I'm willing to work through the night.", "Dr. Neville: Really?", "Ashley: Yes. Really. Because the longer and the harder we work, then the faster we can perfect your process, right?", "Dr. Neville: Right. Well, um, knowing that you feel that way, I think I have, uh, just the thing.", "Neil: You're really determined to help Neville out, aren't you?", "Hilary: Yeah, I am. But I like the way you stood up for me, making sure that I don't become Neville's lab rat.", "Neil: [Chuckles] Yeah. And thanks for having my back where Gwen's concerned. If I'm gonna be working with her, I-I don't want to send her any mixed signals.", "Hilary: Well, I'm sure that's difficult. You know, Christmas eve -- it can be the happiest time of the year...or the saddest, depending on who you spend it with. So, I was hoping that, um, you will spend it with me.", "Neil: Um, I-I -- thanks, but I've already made plans. You know, since they split, lily and cane -- she asked me to come over and make Christmas as merry as possible for the twins.", "Hilary: Yeah, no. Of course. I understand.", "Neil: But I hope that Santa brings you everything that you ask for.", "Hilary: Yeah, you, too.", "Neil: Bye.", "Hilary: Bye.", "[Footsteps approaching]", "Nikki: Did you get the punch bowl?", "Noah: Uh, no punch bowl, I'm afraid. I almost threw a punch tonight. Does that count?", "Nikki: [Chuckles] Well, you don't look like Victoria. Hi, sweetheart. Mwah! You are the first guest to arrive. What's this about throwing a punch?", "Noah: Oh, it's just an occupational hazard of working in the same office as Luca Santori.", "Nikki: Well, do you have cuts or bruises or something?", "Noah: None that you can see on the outside.", "Nikki: Well, broken hearts have a way of mending.", "Noah: You know, I did try to get grandpa to come tonight.", "Nikki: Well, that's all right.", "Noah: Yeah.", "Nikki: It just means more Christmas goodies for us, right?", "Noah: That's right.", "Nikki: [Smooches] A punch bowl to top of the tower ASAP.", "Victoria: Thank you.", "Jill: Oh, Victoria! I thought you'd be working late.", "Victoria: Well, yeah, uh, it's Christmas eve, so...", "Jill: Well, when has that ever stopped Victor, huh", "Victoria: [Chuckles] True. Well, most of us are having a-a little gathering for a Newman family Christmas party, so --", "Jill: Oh, a party. Tell me something. Is Billy invited to that party? You know, your former husband, the father of your children?", "Victoria: Jill, I really don't want to get into this tonight.", "Jill: I really do want to get into it.", "Victoria: No, I really don't think that you do, because I'll just have to go down the list of the ways that your son has screwed up lately. And if I do that, we'll be here all night, and I'd really like to get home to my children, your grandchildren.", "Jill: It wasn't that bad. It's not worth cutting him out of your life completely.", "Victoria: Jill, after everything that Billy has done, can you honestly blame me for wanting to cut him out of our lives?", "Jill: Honestly, yes.", "[Door opens]", "Billy: Victoria? Ah.", "Victor: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I may reconsider giving my security guard a Christmas bonus.", "Billy: And a \"bah, humbug\" to you, too, Victor.", "Victor: I haven't seen you since you lost your job. Must have been rather embarrassing to get your walking papers from your brother.", "Billy: Your point?", "Victor: What are you now doing? Looking for Victoria? Is that it? Wanting to cry on her shoulders?", "Billy: Victor, where is she?", "Victor: You honestly think I'm gonna tell you where my daughter is? Not till hell freezes over.", "Dr. Neville: This is an interesting little compound -- a formula I've been working on.", "Ashley: As in testing?", "Dr. Neville: Oh, no. I'm gonna skip all of that, take the first dose myself.", "Ashley: Stop. You can't -- you can't do that. That's very irresponsible.", "Dr. Neville: By all means, feel free to watch and witness the effects.", "Ashley: Oh, please. You must realize how stupid this is.", "Dr. Neville: Why? You want to go first?", "Ashley: Obviously not. I have no idea what's in that.", "Dr. Neville: Well, a little of this, little of that. Friendly little compound. It's a molecule called c2h6o.", "Ashley: Oh, c2h6o with a little additive of... coriander and... juniper berry. This is gin.", "Dr. Neville: Well-played, ms. Abbott. Along with a little bit of seasonal food coloring.", "Ashley: Mm. So, why did you make me think that this was some kind of a horrible thing?", "Dr. Neville: Because you need to calm down. You're running yourself ragged. You're giving yourself headaches. It's not good. Try to remember -- in research, sometimes it's a matter of leaping before you look, being willing to take risks. And if it's too much, if it's not working out, we can end our association right now. I'll go back to that rat's nest of a motel room.", "Ashley: We can't do that. Because this stuff is too damn good.", "Dr. Neville: Excellent. Excellent. You know what? Do another round with me.", "Ashley: Mmm. What did you do with that? Because it's so --", "Dr. Neville: Really taste the cucumber, phosphorus, little bit of red mercury.", "Lily: Okay, getting warmer. Warmer. Okay, okay, stop, stop, stop. Stop. All right.", "Cane: All right. All right.", "Lily: Hot. Very hot.", "Cane: We should, uh, you know, get these ready under the tree before the kids come home.", "Lily: Yeah. Um...yeah. I-I'm sure it'll take us a while, but we'll get it all done. Here we go.", "Cane: If this is gonna be the last Christmas as a family, you know, I'd like it to be magical for the kids.", "Lily: Yeah, me, too. I know the best part for them will be spending it with you.", "Cane: Look, um...", "Lily: Yeah?", "Cane: This -- let's do the tags. Let's get the tags done on this. Uh, Mr. Hamilton, the staff was told --", "Devon: Yeah, my plane wasn't able to take off 'cause of the weather, so I'm gonna end up spending Christmas here after all. Ah, then we --", "Devon: But, no, tell the rest of the staff not to worry, 'cause you guys still get to go home early and, uh, spend Christmas day with your families. Thank you, sir. Take any table you'd like.", "Devon: Thanks. [Sighs]", "Luca: Wait, wait, wait, wait. If you don't want this, if it's happening too fast --", "Jill: Look, honey, Billy was just here, okay? And he is devastated about all the pain he caused.", "Jill: I know. Billy is always sorry. But he always makes the same mistakes.", "Jill: Yeah. This time is different, though, okay? He's different. He spent some time with Jack at the cabin, and he's come back determined to change his life around.", "Victoria: Billy was with Jack? And no punches were thrown?", "Jill: Well, apparently Phyllis was there to referee, but the point is if Jack is willing to give him another chance, why won't you?", "Victoria: I just --", "Jill: No. Look. Look me in the eye and you tell me that you don't still love him.", "Victoria: Sometimes, love isn't enough.", "Jill: Oh. That's very glib, okay? But in the end, what else is there?", "Victor: I know you once fancied yourself a businessman, but you must know that you've lost the last ounce of credit with my daughter.", "Billy: You don't get to decide that.", "Victor: Why don't you face it, Billy boy? You're bankrupt -- financially, morally, spiritually. You're not gonna win my daughter back.", "Billy: You think I'm bankrupt? You should look in the mirror.", "Victor: You know what I see?", "Billy: Hmm?", "Victor: Hard-working, successful businessman.", "Billy: Ah.", "Victor: How's that?", "Billy: How's that? Well, it's Christmas eve, and here you are, sitting by yourself with nothing but dollar signs and -- and that ridiculous picture of yourself to keep you company. Face it, Victor. You're just as sad and lonely as I am.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Both: Mistletoe!", "Lily: How did that get there?", "Neil: Magic.", "Billy: I'm gonna do whatever it takes to win you back. I'm gonna do better.", "Traci: Merry Christmas!", "Abby: Merry Christmas!" ]

[ "Chelsea: Okay, Connor, stay close by, buddy!", "Nick: Are you still planning on coming over to my parents' later?", "Chelsea: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. What? I am. For Connor's sake. It's important that he be around family and feel all of the love that he still has in his life, you know?", "Nick: Well, good, because my best memories as a kid are Newman family Christmases.", "Chelsea: Oh, that's nice. Especially compared to Christmases with my mom. We would be holed up in a cheap motel eating cold Chinese food, hiding from the cops.", "Nick: Ah, mine are a little different.", "Chelsea: A little. Sounds like it.", "Nick: I'm just glad that Connor and his cousin will be able to carry on the Newman Christmas tradition.", "Chelsea: Yeah. What? What's -- what's wrong?", "Nick: [Sighs] It's just, uh, you know, I can't stop thinking about faith. I want this holiday season to be amazing for her, but everything's just such a mess right now.", "Chelsea: She's just confused, nick. Everybody's been a little bit confused by the situation. She'll get past it.", "Nick: I hope so.

What have you got there?", "Faith: It's Santa's sleigh. There's a website that tracks where he's heading all around the world.", "Victor: Oh, really?

She still gets so excited about all of it, you know? Christmas just isn't the same without...", "Dylan: Without little kids in the house.", "Victoria: Whoa, come back here! Santa's coming. Come. Come here. Kids, he comes late at night. That's when we leave out the cookies and the milk, right?", "[Johnny and Katie laughing]", "Victoria: Come back here! Kids! Santa leaves us the best presents, but we have to get home. Come on. Johnny, where's your coat? Where's your coat?", "Johnny: [Giggles]", "Victoria: [Sighs] Come on, Johnny Abbott.", "[Katie giggles]", "Jill: Billy Abbott.", "Billy: Yes, mother?", "Jill: What are you doing?", "Billy: Just getting in the holiday spirit. What are you doing? Why are you here? I thought you were hanging out with cane and Lily and the kids at the park, waiting for the snorefest to start overdosing on sugarplums.", "Jill: Since when do you hate Christmas?", "Billy: Hate Christmas? No, that'd be too much energy.", "Jill: [Sighs] Stop this. Get your feet off the table. Stop it.", "Billy: It's just a pillow.", "Jill: No! I mean stop wallowing, Billy. Stop being so damn cynical. You belong with your family. You belong with your kids.", "Billy: Well, speaking of that, I was actually hoping for a Christmas miracle.", "Devon: Lily, this is absolutely ridiculous, you coming here making these accusations about my wife, especially here at our Christmas party.", "Lily: Devon, it is true. I talked to her agent. There were no job offers. She was using him so that you would beg her to come back to GC buzz, and it worked.", "[Laughter]", "Cane: Uh-oh!", "Lily: Look, I know you don't want to believe it, but it's true.", "Devon: I don't really know what to believe.", "Lily: Then you should talk to your wife.", "[Laughter]", "Cane: Burn it down.", "Hilary: Stop teaching them stuff like that, cane.", "Lily: Guys, are your mittens on?", "Charlie: Yes.", "Cane: Tuck your scarf in.", "Lily: Okay, what do you say to Devon and Hilary for your presents?", "Both: Thank you!", "Cane: Thank you.", "Devon: You guys are very welcome.", "Lily: Okay, thank you, guys.", "Devon: Of course.", "Cane: Bye-bye.", "Neil: Merry Christmas, you guys.", "Devon: Merry Christmas.", "Neil: All right, love you.", "Devon: Love you, too. Drive safe, all right?", "Hilary: [Sighs] That was so much fun, wasn't it? [Sighs] Having your family here and everyone, it really got me in the Christmas mood. And I have to admit, I wasn't convinced at first, but this place is amazing for entertaining. We should have tons of parties, and not just your family. I mean, we could host the elite of Genoa city here --", "Devon: Hilary, just stop it, will you?", "Victor: Merry Christmas.", "Abby: Merry Christmas.", "Victor: How are the roads out there?", "Abby: They're fine. I was a little scared of driving in the snow, so I had Noah pick me up, but I think it's gonna miss us.", "Nikki: Well, as much as I would love a white Christmas, it's more important to me that people stay safe.", "Abby: Yes.", "Victor: Look who's here.", "Faith: Now Santa's in... Tanzania. I've been keeping track since Easter island.", "Noah: Tanzania, huh? Just a little ways off.", "Abby: Well, it looks like he's heading in the right direction. That's good news.", "Faith: Fun fact -- Santa will have to fly over Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa.", "Victor: Whoa! You know, it's very bumpy up there. You know what Santa has to do? He has to take the reindeer and tell them to go around the mountain.", "Faith: [Chuckles] I'm sure it'll be okay. Santa does it every year.", "Abby: Oh, here. Come here, you. I want a hug. Mwah! So, Noah filled me in. Faith chose to live here?", "Nikki: Well, we think it's just temporary, just so she can get away from the tension of her parents.", "Victor: Our door is always open. That goes for you, as well, Noah.", "Noah: Well, I guess that's true.", "Victor: I mean in regard to the business. If you ever get tired of pouring drinks, you come back to Newman enterprises.", "Noah: Thank you, grandpa. But, you know, I'm happy where I am.", "Victor: Yeah?", "Noah: I'll tell you what. Why don't I show off some of those drink-serving skills right now?", "Victor: Great idea.", "Abby: Okay, I'll help you. Go ahead.", "Noah: Oh, thank you.", "Abby: Show me the way.", "Noah: Yeah.", "Abby: Well, that wasn't exactly festive.", "Noah: [Scoffs] Grandpa thinks I'm, like, going through a phase or something, you know? I mean, maybe one of these days he's gonna wake up and realize this is just who I am.", "Abby: And what's that? A career bartender? You do make a killer mojito, though.", "Noah: [Chuckles]", "Abby: Thank you.", "Noah: Look, this is not gonna be forever. But I'm not going back to Newman. And, you know, I'm not gonna stay at the underground. Just...dad's going through a lot right now. Feels good to help him out.", "Nikki: Merry Christmas, Connor!", "Chelsea: Can you say \"merry Christmas\"?", "Connor: Merry Christmas.", "Nikki: Oh!", "Victor: There you go! Merry Christmas to you, young man! There you go.", "Nick: You must want to hold this guy.", "Victor: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.", "Nick: Here you go, dude.", "Victor: Ohh, boy! Oh, boy! Pretty soon you're gonna say that, too, aren't you?", "Nick: Where's, uh, where's faith? How's she doing?", "Victor: Oh, faith is upstairs. She is -- she's very happy, and she's tracking Santa's trip around the world.", "Nick: [Chuckles]", "Nikki: This is such a magical time of the year. We can put aside all of our troubles and just spend time with the people we love.", "Nick: If that means you're expecting Dylan, I wish you would have warned me.", "Sharon: Eggnog, Paul?", "Paul: Oh, thank you.", "Sharon: I made it myself.", "Paul: Looks beautiful. Cute glasses.", "Sharon: No Christine?", "Paul: She's busy trying to finish a brief before the holiday. It's a very important case.", "Dylan: Uh, I'm glad you stopped by before you're heading up to the main house.", "Paul: You know, Nikki invited all of us weeks ago.", "Dylan: Yeah, but that was before.", "Paul: She'd still love to see you.", "Sharon: Um, you know, we're just gonna spend a quiet evening at home together. It's okay, Paul.", "Paul: She personally asked me to try and convince you.", "Dylan: Paul, just being polite or she's feeling guilty. Look, it -- it's a Newman family thing. It's Victor's house. Nick's gonna be there with... with Christian, and I'm sure he doesn't want us to show up, so why would we subject ourselves to that?", "Paul: I hear what you're saying, but I think you're making a mistake. I mean, this is the time of year when people make an effort to get along and put their differences aside. And they do it for the children so they can have some magic in their lives.", "Dylan: Yeah, Paul, I know you mean well, but it's not happening.", "Paul: Fair enough.", "Faith: Daddy, look. Here's another fun fact. In the Netherlands, children leave a shoe on the hearth instead of hanging a stocking. They wake up on Christmas morning to find it filled with sweet treats.", "Nick: Well, that is a very cool website.", "[Laughter]", "Faith: Mommy thinks it's so funny.", "[Door opens]", "Faith: Is she coming?", "Nikki: Oh, who's here?", "Nick: You know what? It looks like somebody just got here.", "Victor: Look who's there!", "Faith: Aunt Victoria! Aunt Victoria, look! Santa's in Holland!", "Nikki: Let me take the gift. He's making very good time this year, see?", "Victor: He certainly is. My goodness.", "Victoria: You're tracking Santa on it? Hi.", "Faith: It shows how close he is getting to our house. Can I show Johnny and Katie?", "Victoria: Uh, yeah. Just let me get his coat off real quick. All right.", "Nikki: Hello!", "Chelsea: Hello!", "Nikki: Oh, I got these pies here.", "Victoria: Okay.", "Victor: There we go. There you go.", "Victoria: They're off.", "Abby: Merry Christmas.", "Victoria: Oh, thank you. Mwah.", "Noah: I'll take these into the kitchen for you.", "Nikki: Thank you.", "Victoria: Take this, too.", "Abby: [Chuckles] It looks like you could use some Christmas cheer.", "Victoria: How about a double martini? That'd be nice.", "Abby: All right.", "Victor: Well... all my sweet, little children here, why don't you gather around, because grandpa's gonna read you a Christmas story.", "Faith: Yay!", "Billy: I've noticed a change lately.", "Jill: In Victoria? Really? What kind of a change?", "Billy: She's pulling away.", "Jill: No, no, no. You're imagining it.", "Billy: No, I'm not. She's not exactly subtle about it, either.", "Jill: Well, for god's sake, do something.", "Billy: Like what?", "Jill: I don't know. Like -- like the Christmas miracle you were just talking about.", "Billy: Yeah, 'cause that's me, right? Billy Abbott, a miracle worker.", "Jill: Honey, come on. You're very resourceful. And you're very, very charming when you want to be. So make some grand romantic gesture and remind her of the man she fell in love with. [Sighs] Why won't the two of you just open your eyes and see that you belong together?", "Billy: Here's the thing, mom. Our relationship is complicated. It's fragile. We have trust issues on both sides. But... [Sighs] Where we are right now, I'm grateful for. We're -- we're adults. We're raising our kids together, and that means the world to me. Victoria's made it clear that she doesn't have room for me in her life that way. She doesn't feel that way as far as I can tell, and...", "Jill: [Sighs]", "Billy: And I'm okay with that. I'm content to be friends with her right now.", "Jill: You don't mean that, Billy.", "Billy: Yes, I do. And I don't want anything to mess that up. So, back to my Christmas miracle I was talking about. It's really the only thing that I want this Christmas.", "Jill: Ask. It's yours.", "Billy: Stop interfering in our relationship. We got to figure this out on our own, okay?", "Jill: All right, I'll do it.", "Billy: Really? You're not just saying that?", "Jill: No. You have my word.", "Nikki: Oh, Victoria. I'm so glad you're here, honey.", "Victoria: Thanks, Mom. Me, too. In case I haven't said so, merry Christmas. I just can't remember after the day I've had.", "Nikki: I've had a few of those myself. Merry Christmas, darling.", "Victoria: Thanks, mom.", "Nikki: How you feeling?", "Victoria: Uh, I'm feeling a little outnumbered by my kids right now.", "Nick: Yeah, I know the feeling.", "Victoria: Yeah? You know, it's like I can manage a company and run a whole business with million-dollar budgets, but getting my kids out the door is another story.", "Nick: Yeah, it really takes it out of you.", "Victoria: Yeah, sometimes I feel like I can barely keep up, you know? Like I'm, uh...", "Nick: Overwhelmed?", "Nikki: Listen, you two have so much going on, and you do it beautifully.", "Victoria: Well, some days are better than others, Mom.", "Nikki: Okay. [Chuckles]", "Nick: Well, at least you can count on Billy.", "Hilary: And I asked the caterers to put some leftovers in the fridge for you just in case you want a little snack later.", "Devon: Hilary, will you knock it off, please?", "Hilary: [Sighs] What is your problem? Why are you in such a mood all of a sudden?", "Devon: Why don't you take a guess?", "Hilary: [Scoffs] I have no idea.", "Devon: You know all those job offers that you had for the shows?", "Hilary: Yeah. What about them?", "Devon: They never existed.", "Hilary: Devon --", "Devon: Wow. Wow, really?", "Hilary: Okay, who told you this?", "Devon: Who told me? That's your response? Not an explanation or an apology?", "Hilary: It was obviously someone who had it in for me.", "Devon: Honey, it doesn't matter who told me. I just gave you everything that you wanted. I-I gave you the show back. I made you executive producer, gonna give you the pay, control of the content. I bought you this home. Why didn't you just come to me and talk to me like an adult? You knew I was willing to work with you, get over my concerns, meet you halfway. I mean, why did you lie to me? I trusted you.", "Hilary: No, you haven't, Devon. You've never trusted me. [Sighs] You want to know what my problem is? You hold the purse strings. You are my boss. You make all of the big decisions, usually without even consulting me, and I'm just supposed to sit back, keep quiet, and just go with the flow. You manage me, Devon. You just stood there and you listed all of the things that you've given me. [Scoffs] You don't even think that I should have a say on where we live, for god's sake.", "Devon: Honey, I apologized for that. And originally I wanted this place to be a surprise.", "Hilary: No, I got that when you marched me in here and you proclaimed that this is our new home.", "Devon: I know we're past this 'cause you love it. You've told me that.", "Hilary: Yeah, that is besides the point. Okay, you bought this place to appease me, Devon, so that I would -- I would keep quiet and I wouldn't make any waves. I would behave the way that you want me to behave. I will say the things that you want me to say. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells all of the time, trying not to upset you. Do you have any idea how stressful that is? And I am supposed to be your wife! I'm supposed to be your equal! But it doesn't feel that way at all!", "Devon: Sweetheart, how do you expect me to support and trust you when you lie to me and you run off and do crazy things like have an agent make up stories so that I'll grovel at your feet and give you what you want? I mean, it worked this time, but --", "Hilary: No, no, not really. [Sighs] Devon, I know the real reason why you don't trust me. Our relationship, it began when I cheated on your father with you. That is the foundation of our relationship, so I get it. Naturally you assume that I'm gonna do the same thing to you. So it's still there, all of that uncertainty. But you want to know what the sad part is? After... [Sighs] ...Every single thing rotten thing that I've done... I don't think that I deserve your trust. [Scoffs] But I love you. I love you so much, Devon. And all of this, every single thing, it's all gonna erode us from the inside out if we let it, so I'm fighting. I am fighting for us, Devon. I just -- I don't understand how you can't see that.", "Devon: Sweetheart. Honey. I see you, okay? Listen to me. Lying is not the answer. All right?", "Hilary: [Sighs]", "Devon: No more of that.", "Victor: \"And the angel said unto them, 'fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people, for unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior, which is Christ the lord. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will toward men.'\"", "Nikki: Is Dylan coming?", "Paul: I'm so sorry. I did my best. It's just -- it's just too soon. It's so raw, I mean, for him, for both of them.", "Nikki: Okay, well, you did your best. Thank you. Come on in.", "Dylan: You want to go for a walk or something?", "Sharon: Hmm. Not really.", "Dylan: Then we can head into town, grab a bite. There's gonna be some carolers in the park.", "Sharon: It's a nice idea, but I don't...", "[Door opens]", "Mariah: Oh, my gosh, there is nothing like putting off Christmas shopping until the stores are locking up and the last minute Santa -- whoa. Whoa. Where did Christmas go?", "Sharon: Faith's not gonna be here.", "Mariah: Right. You know what? I feel so bad for all of those, you know, holiday salespeople. They have to listen to the same recorded carols over and over and over again since before Halloween. It's like their eyes are glazed over, like it's \"night of the living dead: Holiday edition.\" So, um, what do you say? Do you guys want to get some hot chocolate going, put on some tunes, maybe open some presents?", "Dylan: Fine by me.", "Sharon: Sure.", "Mariah: Great! Great, okay.", "Sharon: Um, do you want me to make the hot chocolate now or...", "[Christmas music plays]", "Mariah: No, no, no, no. Let's do presents first.", "Sharon: Okay.", "Mariah: We'll go. All right. Sharon, this one is for you.", "Sharon: Oh.", "Mariah: I'm sorry the bow got all smushed.", "Sharon: Oh, no, no, it's -- it's fine. It's a beautiful box.", "Mariah: Yeah, I kind of put it altogether in the car at Fenmore's parking lot. I am a, uh, master planner. So, go, go, go. Open it.", "Sharon: [Gasps] Oh, my favorite!", "Mariah: Is it? 'Cause if it's not, you can totally exchange it.", "Sharon: No, no, no, it's perfect. That's so sweet of you. Thank you, Mariah.", "Mariah: Well, a lady can't go without her favorite face cream. All right, on to the next. This one is for faith, so I'll just run that up to Victor so I can give it to her in person.", "Dylan: I'm sure she'd love that.", "Mariah: Awesome. All right, Dylan. This is for you. I figured since you're a guy, you, uh, you don't really need the fancy box or the bow or anything.", "Dylan: You figured correctly.", "Mariah: [Laughs]", "Dylan: Okay.", "Mariah: Hopefully it'll be something you find useful.", "Dylan: Look at that.", "Mariah: [Chuckles]", "Dylan: A head lamp.", "Mariah: Yes!", "Dylan: This is crazy. This is great. I wanted one for the car.", "Mariah: Or for your next camping trip. Not that I will be there to appreciate it, but I figured you could use it to see the bears before they attack you at night. Keep you safe.", "Dylan: Thank you.", "Mariah: [Laughs]", "Sharon: Well, should I make that cocoa now and then you can open your presents from us?", "Mariah: Yeah, do you need help in the kitchen?", "Sharon: Nope. Oh, did something fall out of your bag?", "Mariah: Um... whoops.", "Jill: Will you look at this? Everybody's in costume. It's like something straight out of dickens.", "Billy: Looks fantastic. Thank you for getting me out here tonight.", "Jill: Wait a second. That was a \"thank you,\" an actual expression of gratitude?", "Billy: That's all you're gonna get. Enjoy it.", "Jill: [Chuckles] Will miracles never cease? Look who's here. It's Lily and the kids and cane and Neil. Come on, let's go wish them a merry Christmas.", "Billy: You go ahead. I'm gonna hang back for a minute.", "Jill: [Sighs] All right, suit yourself. Hey, hey!", "Lily: Hi.", "Jill: Hi. Merry Christmas.", "Lily: Merry Christmas. Happy holidays.", "Jill: Oh, sweetie, hi. Mwah.", "Cane: Merry Christmas, doll.", "Jill: Merry Christmas. And merry Christmas to you. I haven't seen you forever.", "Neil: How you feeling?", "[Indistinct conversation]", "Cane: Come here. How you doing? You all right?", "Billy: You can skip the \"peace and good will\" act. Your family's not watching.", "Cane: Yeah? Well, sometimes it doesn't matter if someone's watching.", "Billy: Wow, cane. That's profound. So what do we do now? We share a beer, we gather around the Christmas tree and let bygones be bygones?", "Cane: You know, I know that you and I tangle at work, okay? But, you know, I also know it's tough, you know, not having your kids around at Christmas. You don't have to pretend it's not, okay? Merry Christmas, man.", "Billy: Merry Christmas.", "Mariah: Sorry, you guys. It's a present for Christian. I never meant for you to see it.", "Sharon: It's okay, Mariah. There's no reason to apologize. We -- we know that you love him. And we think that it's sweet that you still want to be a part of his life. Really, it's okay.", "Dylan: Yeah. Yeah, it's getting late. You should probably head up the path with those before, uh, the sugar wears off and all the kids crash.", "Mariah: [Chuckles] Yeah. It's a good idea. I'll just -- I'll open presents tomorrow, yeah?", "Sharon: That sounds perfect. I love you, Mariah.", "Mariah: I love you, too.", "Sharon: If I don't see you before morning, then... have a merry Christmas.", "Mariah: Same to you. And don't worry. We're gonna hang out tomorrow. We'll do something special. I promise, okay?", "Dylan: That sounds good. That sounds really good.", "Mariah: All right.", "Dylan: All right, thank you. See you.", "[Door closes]", "Dylan: [Sighs] You know what? Maybe we should make that hot chocolate we've been talking about all evening and, uh, watch \"It's a Wonderful Life.\" I'm sure it's on about 15 channels.", "Sharon: You're upset that Mariah got Christian that gift, aren't you?", "Dylan: I have no right to an opinion.", "Sharon: But you are upset.", "Dylan: I just want to get through the holiday.", "Sharon: Even though we're not talking about him, he's here with us. He's in this room. Sully, our son. The son we lost.", "Dylan: I don't want to talk about it.", "Sharon: Well, I do. The thing is, I have a confession to make.", "Victor: There's your daddy.", "Nick: [Smooching] You know, I think he really liked your story. That part about good will towards all men and peace, it gets me every time.", "Victor: Yep, you probably can recite that in your sleep, can't you?", "Nick: Yeah, probably. I just love hearing you read it. Wouldn't be Christmas without it.", "Victor: Appreciate it.", "Nick: Come on, let's go find Connor.", "[Indistinct conversations]", "Victor: I know how much you wish that Dylan were here.", "Nikki: Well, it's probably just as well. Even if he hadn't brought Sharon, there probably would have been tension.", "Victor: Well, not for me, though. I mean, he's your boy, and I know how important it was for you to have him here, especially on Christmas Eve, you know?", "Nikki: Thank you. Thank you for saying that.", "Victor: I know what it means to miss someone.", "Nikki: Darling, you do. I know.", "Victor: I see reminders of Adam all over the place. [Sighs] I wish he were here.", "Nick: All right, bud, you want some juice? You want apple or orange? Or you do what I do -- mix them all together, throw in a little fizzy soda, get a little kick. What do you think?", "Chelsea: Hey, I, um, I think the -- the juice is gonna have to wait, sweetheart.", "Nick: You got to leave? It's early.", "Chelsea: I know. We had such a wonderful time. Um, but I just think it's been a long day for him.", "Nick: Yeah. Yeah, sure. Uh, I'll go get all his presents. He had quite a haul tonight.", "Chelsea: Thank you.", "Nick: Yeah.", "Chelsea: Okay. [Sniffles]", "Victor: [Sighs] I miss him, too.", "Lily: [Chuckles] How's your guys' hot chocolate?", "Cane: Good?", "Lily: Good? Mwah. Hey.", "Neil: Hmm? Hey, baby. Doesn't it do your heart good seeing people, uh, enjoy the spirit of the season, too?", "Johnny: Daddy!", "Katie: Daddy!", "Billy: Hi!", "Victoria: I didn't know you'd be here.", "Mariah: Merry Christmas. Hi. Mwah. Good to see you. Ho, ho, ho and all that jazz.", "Faith: Look, Santa's almost across the Atlantic.", "Mariah: What?! No way. Well, you know what that means. Guess where he's gonna be next? Canada and then...", "Faith: Genoa city!", "Mariah: Genoa city! Okay, well, in the meantime, I have something to hold you over.", "Faith: [Gasps] Oh, thanks! Can I open it right now?", "Victor: Yes. Time for everyone to open presents. How's that?", "Mariah: Um, for Christian.", "Nick: Thanks a lot, Mariah.", "Faith: Wait. Something's missing. There's no star at the top of the tree.", "Victor: It's time to put that way on top there. See if you can reach that there.", "Victor: Look... what I found.", "Faith: Ooh!", "Victor: Yeah. Son, I think it's your time.", "Nick: Yeah?", "Victor: Yep. You bet.", "Nick: All right.", "Victor: Daddy's gonna lift you all the way up to the tree.", "Nick: I think, uh, I think I'm gonna need some help.", "Faith: From me?", "Nick: Oh, yeah. Who else? Let's go.", "Victor: You take it in your hand.", "Faith: Okay, dad, let's do this!", "Victor: You bet.", "Nick: Ready? One, two, three.", "Faith: Eee!", "Victor: There we go.", "Faith: Okay.", "Nikki: Wow.", "Victor: All the way up there. Look at that.", "Faith: Okay. There we go.", "[Cheers and applause]", "Nick: All right. Well, why don't you open some presents? That big one's from me.", "Noah: I want to help.", "Abby: Yeah, I want my present.", "Victor: Okay, now...", "Abby: This is for you.", "Nikki: That was wonderful, passing down a family tradition like that.", "Victor: Mariah.", "Nick: Dad lifting me up to put the star on the tree, it's one of my earliest and best memories as a kid.", "Nikki: We are lucky to have those memories. A lot of people don't.", "Nick: Yeah, I know, mom, how...how blessed we are. You know, this Christmas could have been a lot different.", "[Indistinct conversation]", "Nikki: From your father and me.", "Nick: Oh, wow. Wow. Hey, little man, look. Look at that. It says \"Christian.\" That's you, bud. Yeah. That's you. Thanks, Mom. It's absolutely perfect.", "Nikki: Oh, you're welcome. Merry Christmas. I love you so much.", "Nick: Merry Christmas to you, too. I love you. Hey, bud.", "Sharon: I know that we said we would get rid of all the pictures of sully so that we wouldn't live in the past, but... I held on to this one.", "Dylan: I understand.", "Sharon: You do?", "Dylan: I have a confession, too. O Christmas tree o Christmas tree thy leaves are so unchanging o Christmas tree o Christmas tree thy leaves are so unchanging not only green when summer's here but also when it's cold and drear o Christmas tree o Christmas tree thy leaves are so unchanging o Christmas tree o Christmas tree you'll ever be unchanging a symbol of goodwill and love you'll ever be unchanging each shining light each silver bell no one alive spreads cheer so well o Christmas tree o Christmas tree you'll ever be unchanging O Christmas tree O Christmas tree O Christmas tree O Christmas tree O Christmas tree O Christmas tree Such joy you bring", "[NEXT_ON]", "Nikki: Nicholas made a beautiful gesture, one that I'm sure will help he and his brother get closer together.", "Nick: That was a one-shot deal. I don't want you to think that was an invitation to change the rules.", "Hilary: Excuse me. You're in my chair." ]

It's like you took all the ideas I had just rolling around in my head and--and went one better.", "Tyler: You know, it'd be a kick if, uh, we could actually collaborate. You know, going back and forth. No limits... just pure shared passion.", "Cane: Hey, hey, uh, oh, I'm sorry to break this up.", "Lily: Hi. Um, so Tyler has an interview with my dad. (Chuckles)", "Cane: Lucky guy.", "Lily: Yeah, so I have a meeting to get to. Um, I'll see you later. And kick some ass!", "Tyler: Certainly. Uh, which way to the boss' office?", "Cane: Uh, actually, the boss isn't here, so you're gonna have to deal with me and, uh, I'm sorry to say there's not much to discuss. Uh, Jack and I talked about, um, some things, and we just don't think your ideas are right.", "Tyler: Well, that's not what your wife said.", "Cane: Listen, why don't you, uh, work on some more ideas and, uh, give us a call when you think you're ready?", "Tyler: (Laughs) Sure. Always up for a challenge.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: I wanted to stall for awhile, play both sides.", "Sharon: Well, why would you want to do that? There's no love lost between you and Jack.", "Adam: I owe him. The guy gave me a chance to run Newman.", "Sharon: Temporarily, and that was mostly just to get back at Victor.", "Adam: At first, yes, but I believe I've earned his respect, and he trusts me. Well, he needs me to handle things.", "Sharon: Why?", "Adam: (Clears throat) Namely, because his plate is rather full. For example, he's folding Jabot into Newman.", "Sharon: But if he does that and Victor takes the company back...", "Adam: Jack loses both.", "Sharon: Adam, we can't let that happen.", "Adam: I don't know if we can stop it.", "Sharon: This is, like, the same thing that I did, undermining Victor and trying to make Newman my own. Meanwhile, Victor's lost his legacy, and Jack-- he can't lose his.", "Adam: The only way to prevent it is to boot Jack before he absorbs Jabot.", "Sharon: So that way, everyone wins.", "Adam: Yeah. Yeah, everyone wins. Jack goes off running with his tail between his legs after he's ousted from Newman with Jabot as a consolation prize. Meanwhile, my father triumphs.", "Sharon: (Sighs) You know... (Clears throat) You and me and Jack and Tucker have all tried to steal Newman away, and Victor was left on the outside, looking at his company, the accounts that he secured, the employees he hired, all in the hands of people who have no loyalty to it. Can you imagine what it must feel like to love something so desperately, and yet you can't have it? Jack just belongs at Jabot. He was happier there. You know, getting him out of Newman could be the best thing for him, for everyone.", "Adam: Maybe.", "Sharon: The only question is how to do it without him catching on.", "Adam: It might be easier than you think. Jack has a weakness, and all I have to do is exploit it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: And we'll do it here at the house. Yeah, it'll--it just-- make it more personal. How soon can you set it up? Perfect. We'll see you then.", "Kyle: You sure you're okay to do this?", "Jack: Yeah, I put this off too long. It's time we address this controversy and put it behind us.", "(Doorbell rings)", "Jack: Oh. Stick around. I want you to see what it takes to undo this.", "Kyle: Okay, I'll be in the study.", "Jack: You lose your way to the unemployment office?", "Neil: I deserve that. I was out of line yesterday, said some things I shouldn't have.", "Jack: Like \"I quit.\"", "Neil: I'd like to rescind that, if you're amenable.", "Jack: Come on in.", "Neil: Jack, as you know, I was feeling micromanaged yesterday. I have a real issue with that. I know that I can take Jabot to the next level. I am asking you to trust in me and trust in my experience and let me run with this. I will not let you down.", "Jack: I appreciate your candor, Neil, and frankly, I am not proud of the way I handled things yesterday. Got a lot on my plate. (Exhales slowly) As a matter of fact, I'm getting ready to address the press about this whole mess on the gossip sites.", "Neil: Really? What mess are we talking about? You know, I don't--I don't pay attention to those rags.", "Jack: Well, unfortunately, a lot of people do, and someone has planted a story that I am hooked on painkillers. I guess we both know who would be responsible for that.", "Neil: Victor? Yeah, I-I don't know, Jack. I mean, why give them something he can't substantiate? That's--that's not Victor's style.", "Jack: Well, maybe it's another enemy I've made over the years, or some rogue investor just looking to make a buck by making the stock crash, but whoever it is, they're gonna be disappointed, because I'm about to quash this thing.", "Neil: Hey... are you? Are you abusing pain meds?", "Jack: (Chuckles) You even have to ask? Neil, I-I'm taking oxydycone for my back, and yes, it has a reputation of dependence, and an outsider would look at this situation and think I might have a problem. I don't. You have my word.", "Neil: Sure. That's all good and fine, Jack, except for one thing. I'm not an outsider. I'm an addict, and I recognize when another addict's in denial.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: You're usually not this cautious.", "Cane: Well, when you're dealing with, you know, millions of dollars of company money, sometimes you should be cautious.", "Lily: Yeah, unless it costs you a rising star. If we don't grab Tyler, somebody else will.", "Cane: Well, that's a risk I'm willing to take.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Leslie: He wasn't impressed?", "Tyler: No. Think I pissed him off.", "Leslie: Did you hit on his wife? Unh-unh.", "Tyler: Come on, she is absolutely gorgeous.", "Leslie: Not again, Tyler! You need this job. How does someone with your talent and your brains burn through so much money so quickly?", "Tyler: Life should be enjoyed.", "Leslie: Yeah, and now you don't have a place to sleep. I mean, unless you want to crash at my place.", "Tyler: Oh, what, and have your little bro around when you and Neil decide to start \"Conducting business\" for real?", "Leslie: That is not gonna happen.", "Tyler: (Scoffs) People are already taking bets on it. Hell, I should start a pool at Jabot.", "Leslie: Yeah, first, you need to get the job.", "Tyler: I will, in spite of Cane.", "Leslie: He's the C.E.O.'s son-in-law.", "Tyler: Yeah, but I'm that good.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: I hate to disappoint you, Neil. I am not a member of that particular club.", "Neil: Missed meetings, uncharacteristic behavior, subpar work performance-- man, they're all signs.", "Jack: A sign that I am still recovering and I pushed myself too hard.", "Neil: Hey, Jack, let me ask you something. You take more pills than the doctor prescribed? Multiple sources for your pills? Lie to people, yourself? Jack, it can happen to anyone.", "Jack: I have not even been on the medication that long.", "Neil: It just takes that one line to be crossed, and there's no going back.", "Jack: I don't have a problem, Neil!", "Neil: Look, I understand. I understand you're saying that to me right now, but that's what I said to myself over and over. \"What's the difference if I have just one more drink? I can handle it. Yeah, I can control it.\" But you know what? I couldn't control it. I needed help, and so do you, Jack.", "Jack: Okay, enough 12-step talk, okay? Save that for your A.A. meetings. I know you mean well, but stop projecting your issues on me. Now I have an interview to get ready for, and you have a job to get back to. I suggest you do that, and don't let me down.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: What are you talking about? What \"Weakness\" does Jack have?", "Adam: You know what? Don't worry about it. Forget I said anything. I don't want to add to your already full plate and get chewed out by Dr. Watkins, so...", "Sharon: Okay, yeah. Yeah, you're probably right. She likes the place I'm in now. She feels the medication is finally balancing me out.", "Adam: Huh. I knew you could do it. With enough time and support, I knew you could do it.", "Sharon: She also said she feels what's best for me is to stay away from you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: I would like us all to come together, you know, and celebrate what we have, and we have a lot.", "Victoria: Aside from Newman Enterprises, of course.", "Victor: Oh, but this gives me a chance to dispel the notion that that company is the only thing I think about, Sweetheart.", "Billy: Oh, this ought to be good. (Chuckles)", "Victor: You know that I've accomplished a lot in my life, but none of it means a damn thing without family. Without all of you, I feel as alone as I did when my mother left me in that damn orphanage.", "Billy: That is a great story, and we'll be thinking about that and you when we're in Jamaica.", "Victor: You know what? Think about your mom. She'd be very disappointed if you don't all come. She loves you. She has been through a lot. So have you, and you've come through it because your mother and you were supporting each other. And by the way, apparently, Vera is preparing some plum pudding.", "Billy: Oh, sentimental. That's a nice touch.", "Victor: Um... what do you say? I'm willing to put our differences behind us, but you gotta meet me halfway. So please come, okay? Bring the whole family. Bring the children, bring Billy. This will be a time and a season to remember, okay?", "Billy: (Deep voice) \"This will be a time and a season to remember.\" (Laughs) (Normal voice) I think he's been watching too many commercials, Honey. Ohh, please tell me you're not going to buy into this crap, are you?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: (Clears throat) I'm sorry. I shouldn't have, um, just blurted that out. I just thought you should know.", "Adam: No, it's okay. That's... whatever your doctor suggests, you should do, even if it means staying away from me.", "Sharon: But you know, it's--it's a good thing, really, because it'll give you a chance to save your marriage.", "Adam: I already told you, that's, uh...", "Sharon: No, you know, the kiss that we had, Adam, that--my life was completely out of control, and you just got caught up in that, and once you spend time alone with Chelsea, you know, you'll see.", "Adam: I can't do that to her. She's been through enough. Uh, she's been hurt too much as it is.", "Sharon: Because of me.", "Adam: Because I didn't commit to my marriage... 'cause I couldn't. No, she turned down my--my offer to settle anyway. She doesn't want my help. She doesn't need it, she claims.", "Sharon: Well, sometimes, the best thing you can do for someone is to just let 'em stand on their own.", "Adam: So... (Clears throat) What happens next? (Exhales sharply) Any plans?", "Sharon: Yeah, I think I'd, uh, like to get a job and start doing something that I'm good at and I can take pride in.", "Adam: Well, we are hiring at Newman. (Chuckles)", "Sharon: (Laughs) That's probably not the best place for me to be... for many reasons. Adam, thank you... for everything.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Tyler: Well...", "Cane: (Exhales slowly)", "Tyler: What are the odds?", "Cane: You know, I thought the, uh, perks of this club were for the members only.", "Tyler: And guests of the hotel. Look, I know you came here to wipe the day off, so let's do it. We'll start fresh.", "Cane: There's no need to.", "Tyler: I know you're giving me attitude because I noticed your wife, but it's kind of hard not to, man, and I mean no disrespect.", "Cane: I'm giving you attitude because of your cockiness, the way you walk around with this \"I got the job before I have this job\" attitude. I know it's 'cause your sister works at Jabot and she's tight with Neil.", "Tyler: Well, no offense, but I'm not the one married to the boss' daughter.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: I am here to tell you there is absolutely no truth to the story reported by that so-called news outlet. I am not abusing prescription drugs. That claim is nothing more than malicious gossip, and I intend to set the record straight. After the surgery, I was prescribed medication for the considerable pain. Now listen, I'm not one to take aspirin, so you can imagine the effects of this heavy-duty painkiller. Compounding that, my commitment to Newman Enterprises motivated me to return to work sooner than advised. I should have listened to the doctors. I pushed too hard and I had to pull back. Not surprisingly, Newman Enterprises has operated at 100% ever since. There is, however, a subversive element that wants you to think otherwise, and they've gone to considerable lengths to paint me in less-than-flattering colors to do it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Cane: Look, you don't know the first thing about me, so don't start making assumptions.", "Tyler: Oh, assumptions. Well, now you know how that feels.", "Cane: Look, I'm trying to, uh, make this pretty clear to you, okay, that if you want this job, maybe you should put your ego in check before I make my final decision, okay?", "Tyler: I thought Neil had the last word.", "Cane: Well, I'm the chief operating officer, which means it's my responsibility to make sure we hire the right people.", "Tyler: Well, you know, I'll let my work do the talking. You won't find anyone better than me.", "Cane: Well, we'll see. We'll see.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: (Chuckles)", "Billy: You've got that look again.", "Victoria: What? What--what look?", "Billy: That \"Oh, well, maybe it'll all be different this time\" look, and then if you cave, Nick and Abby can't be too far behind, and then look out. Daddy gets exactly what he wants again, all his little geese following him in tow and lockstep.", "Victoria: I think he was sincere.", "Billy: Oh, nope, okay, that's it. We are leaving right now. We're leaving today. Come on.", "Victoria: What? No!", "Billy: Come on. Come on, come on, come on, come on.", "Victoria: Well, wait, what about Reed? What about our reservations?", "Billy: Honey, we will figure it out, okay? But the first thing that's important is getting you out of here before you start falling victim to Victor's vortex. Let's go, come on.", "Victoria: Honey, wait. I want to stay here. I want to have Christmas with my family.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Cell phone alert chimes)", "Man: Earlier, Newman C.E.O. Jack Abbott addressed allegations that he's become addicted to oxydycone.", "Jack: Let me assure each and every one of you that I was strictly monitored by doctors and have since stopped taking the medication altogether. I am healthy and strong, and so is Newman Enterprises.", "Adam: (Exhales slowly)", "Jack: Perfect timing. I'm glad I found you in. I'd like you to take a look at an interview I just did.", "Adam: I already caught some of it. The damage control was very well done, very convincing.", "Jack: Oh, y-you're making it sound like spin. It's not. Come on, Adam, have I asked you for any more pills?", "Adam: No.", "Jack: And I'm not going to. My head is clear. I am myself again.", "Adam: Well, in that case...", "Jack: (Sighs) It's good to be back.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Billy: Can't you see what a mistake this is? I-I--there are so many reasons why spending the holidays with your family is a mistake, starting with our marriage.", "Victoria: Hold on a second. What does this have to do with our marriage?", "Billy: I don't care what Victor says. He always has some sort of game in play, and I don't want to put us right in the middle of it when we're still trying to find our way back to one another.", "Victoria: But, Billy, part of me finding my way back is being home, surrounded by the things and the people that I love, you know? And my father offered you a truce. I think you should take it. It's not often that he admits that he's wrong.", "Billy: Wrong? I-I'm sorry, were we sitting in the same conversation? Wrong? No, no, no.", "Victoria: Billy, would you please just do it for me? Please?", "Billy: Honey, I would do anything for you. I would walk through fire. I would lasso the moon. I would sit through every Reese Witherspoon romantic comedy that you could possibly find, but I'm not gonna sit back and watch Victor hurt you any more than he already has.", "Victoria: All right, well, you have my permission to pop him one if he steps out of line, but I believe that he'll behave.", "Billy: (Laughs) Well, you may believe in miracles, but I don't.", "Victoria: Come on. Stranger things have happened on Christmas. I'm willing to take a chance. Are you?", "Billy: (Exhales slowly)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: We worked things out.", "Cane: Good, good, 'cause Jack would have regretted losing you.", "Neil: So how did things go with Tyler's interview? When does he start?", "Cane: He doesn't.", "Neil: What?", "Cane: Look, Neil, this guy talks a smooth game, but I need to see he can deliver before I put him on company payroll.", "Neil: Correct me if I'm wrong, but the kid's got an excellent track record, very successful. What more do we need?", "Cane: Weren't you the guy who was gonna quit 'cause he was being micromanaged?", "Neil: Cane, this kid is the wave of the future. I don't want him slipping away.", "Cane: (Sighs)", "Neil: Hire him.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: These are waiting for your signature. I will be down the hall if you need me.", "Jack: Hey. I'll be fine.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: Okay, thank you.", "Tyler: This time, I come bringing gifts.", "Lily: What--", "Tyler: I got three more ideas to show your husband.", "Lily: That fast?", "Tyler: Well, work flows when I'm inspired.", "Lily: Well, I am sure they're all genius. I just hope that Cane agrees, because usually he's more open-minded, but...", "Tyler: Well, the guy's staking his territory. He thinks that I was flirting with you.", "Lily: (Chuckles) Were you flirting?", "Tyler: Uh, it's just my natural charm. Cane will get used to it, especially when he sees how I knocked this out of the park. He won't be able to resist.", "Lily: Well, let's find out. Hi.", "Cane: Hey.", "Tyler: I worked up those new proposals, and I can't wait for you to see 'em.", "Cane: You got the job.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Cell phone vibrating)", "Adam: Yeah?", "Victor: Made any progress?", "Adam: Anxious much?", "Victor: I saw Abbott's interview. It's not what I wanted to hear.", "Adam: Relax. Things are in motion.", "Jack: (Exhales slowly)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Billy: What are you doing?", "Victoria: Well, I figured we'd better pack if we're going to Jamaica.", "Billy: Eh, forget about that. Help me with this. What do we got here?", "Victoria: I thought you said we were just gonna put up enough to make the boys happy.", "Billy: Well, we want to make this a holiday to remember, don't we? Hmm?", "Victoria: Does that mean we're staying?", "Billy: Baby... I don't need to spend Christmas in Jamaica. I just need to spend it with you. (Chuckles) (Growls)", "[NEXT_ON]", "Jack: Next week, Jabot will be a subsidiary of Newman Enterprises.", "Chelsea: This is all payback for all of the bad things I've done.", "Chloe: If anybody has an ugly dose of karma coming their way, it's Sharon.", "Nick: And you're getting better, and really, who knows you better than I do?" ]

You can help me wrap it.", "Sharon: Well, uh, it might take a little more time to assemble.", "Nick: Huh?", "Sharon: Yeah. Santa's gifts come unassembled?", "Nick: Well, yeah, but, I mean, I don't have to have it built right now. I could do it, you know, tomorrow or next week when there's more time.", "Sharon: Nicholas, no. You can't give a little girl 500 pieces of a dollhouse for Christmas.

So he asked if he could leave it here today.", "Faith: Why didn't his elves put it together first?", "Nick: Well, the elves are -- they're pretty busy this time of year, so Santa asked us if we could give him a hand.", "Faith: Daddy, are you telling me the truth?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Tyler: Oh, that was fast.", "Abby: What?", "Tyler: The shopping trip.", "Abby: Oh, yeah. I-I saw these Santa hats downstairs in the gift shop, and then I realized I forgot my sunglasses, and I came back. Who was that woman that just left?", "Tyler: Woman?", "Abby: There was a woman that just left our room.", "Tyler: You know what? I thought I heard somebody, but I figured it was you. When I came out of the bathroom, I didn't see anybody.", "Abby: I did.", "Tyler: Maybe it was the maid.", "Abby: A maid in 4-inch heels. And why would the maid mess up the bed instead of make it?", "Tyler: You think somebody broke in?", "Abby: A thief who doesn't take anything. Maybe she got freaked out and took off before she got the chance to.", "Abby: I don't think so.", "Tyler: Well, if it wasn't the maid and it wasn't a thief, I don't know who else it could have been.", "Abby: I know exactly who it was.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: Please don't let those bogus charges against you ruin your Christmas.", "Neil: Yeah, it'd be a shame if you did, son. Leslie's gonna have this whole mess straightened out in a minute. You know that.", "Devon: Yeah.", "Lily: Why would the Las Vegas police think that you would trash a hotel room? You could buy that hotel.", "Leslie: I don't think that'll fly as a defense.", "Devon: My defense is that I was never in Vegas. I haven't been west of Chestnut Street in months.", "Neil: Okay, well, that means there's obviously someone out there that's pretending to be you.", "Devon: I just wish the hotel would hand over the surveillance video that they claim to have of me, 'cause that would clear this up.", "Leslie: Yeah. No, I've been calling them, you know. Their security staff is a little shorthanded because of the whole holiday thing. But they promise to get back to me as soon as possible.", "Lily: Did you figure out how someone was able to get your credit-card info?", "Devon: I use my credit card for everything, so it could have been anywhere.", "Lily: I'm really sorry this is happening to you, especially during Christmas. That's awful.", "Devon: There's much worse things to stress about than someone stealing my identity.", "Lily: What? Like making this the best Winters-Ashby Christmas ever?", "Devon: Top of the list.", "[Laughter]", "Neil: Hey, Guys, to nothing spoiling this holiday for us.", "[Children shouting]", "Cane: Whoa!", "Lily: You guys.", "Cane: Whoa. Whoa. Now, what do you want to say to your mommy? Come on.", "Charlie: We're sorry.", "Mattie: We didn't mean to ruin your dinner.", "Neil: [Chuckles]", "Lily: Oh, Honey. It's okay. You didn't ruin my dinner, all right? I love you both so much, just the way that you are. Okay?", "Cane: Mm-hmm. Me too. One for you, too.", "Lily: [Chuckles] I can't be mad at them.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "John: Well, now, you don't seem too surprised to see me.", "Jack: The last time you were with me, you told me how proud you were that I'd finally stepped up to be the head of the Abbott family.", "John: Well, I am, Jacky. You did a wonderful job taking care of your brother and your sisters and all my grandchildren.", "Jack: But?", "John: But you need to be with somebody that...take care of you.", "Jack: Dad, I'm doing great. No pills, no booze.", "John: And nobody. Come on, Son. It's Christmas Eve. You're all alone. Jack, Phyllis would not want to see you like this. Home alone, talking to a ghost. You have got to get your life back among the living.", "Jack: It would just seem like a betrayal, Dad.", "John: She would want you to be around people who care about you. Son, that is the greatest Christmas present you could give her... and yourself.", "Jack: You know what? You're right. You're right. I should be out among people I care most about. But first, I got to do something else.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: Yeah, we should go to the park. Are you coming?", "Devon: No, the press is following me around everywhere. I don't want to turn the ceremony into a media circus.", "Neil: Oh, that's a shame, Son. I know how much you wanted to be there.", "Devon: I will be, in spirit.", "Cane: Let's get out of here. See you tomorrow, okay?", "Devon: All right. Bye.", "Lily: And, hey, there better not be two ponies coming through the front door.", "Charlie: Ponies! Yay!", "Devon: How'd you guys know about that?", "Leslie: You're not serious, are you?", "Lily: He better not be.", "Cane: Uncle Devon is joking. There's gonna be no ponies.", "Devon: There's ponies.", "Cane: Come on. Let's go.", "Lily: Okay, Devon, I mean it. There better not be.", "Devon: Fine. No ponies. Love you.", "Leslie: He's joking about the ponies, right?", "Neil: Yes.", "Lily: He's joking. Trust me. Merry Christmas, Hilary.", "Hilary: Your sister bump her head or something?", "Devon: What do you mean?", "Hilary: I don't know. Did she forget who I am? Has she come down with amnesia?", "Devon: No, I'm sure she still wants to wipe you from her memory.", "Hilary: Then why did she just wish me Merry Christmas?", "Devon: Maybe it's really the season of miracles.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: I don't even know how you can ask me that. I mean, do you know what happens to people this time of year who don't tell the truth?", "Faith: They don't get any presents from Santa.", "Nick: Exactly! So why would I even risk that?", "Faith: But Santa has a bunch of elves to help him put toys together.", "Nick: Sure. He's got lots of them. But elves need time off, too, just like everybody else.", "Sharon: To spend time with their kids.", "Faith: But we have elves here -- in the elf tree in the woods.", "Sharon: Yes. Uh, I saw one the other day, and he told me that they were all headed up to the North Pole to help with the Christmas rush, so that just left Daddy and me.", "Nick: Santa's given us so much joy and happiness through the years, when he asked us to help, how could we say no?", "Sharon: So we're his helper elves.", "Faith: You guys are the best helper elves ever.", "Nick: Oh. All right. [Smooching]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: [Sighs] Thank you so much for pushing his arraignment.", "Michael: And getting him released to us.", "Christine: I did what I thought was fair.", "Michael: You've been more than fair throughout this whole thing.", "Paul: Well, we know how difficult it's been on all of you.", "Lauren: Oh, excuse me.", "Summer: How did the arraignment go?", "Lauren: They released him into our custody, and they're fitting him with a tracking device right now. And thanks to you, he's coming home. And he's safe.", "Summer: Fen hates me.", "Lauren: You did the right thing. And he will realize that.", "Summer: Fen is not gonna forgive me. Not for this one.", "Michael: Uh, somewhere between training wheels and this, I failed him.", "Christine: Michael, you can't blame yourself.", "Michael: Then how did we end up here?", "Paul: Well, parenting isn't an exact science. You did your best.", "Michael: Wasn't enough, was it?", "Christine: Hey, you and Lauren got him to come home.", "Michael: And now what?", "Paul: Now you spend Christmas with your family.", "Michael: Uh, okay. If I'm gonna do that, I better get him out of here.", "Paul: You got to sign some papers first. They're in my office.", "Christine: So, your dad's taking care of some paperwork, and then you can get out of here.", "Fenmore: Great.", "Lauren: Thank you so much. We are grateful beyond words for everything that you've done for us, aren't we, Fen?", "Fenmore: Yeah. Sure.", "Christine: The paperwork he's signing, it basically says that he and your mom are responsible to make sure that you show up for all future court proceedings.", "Fenmore: Don't worry. Whatever it takes, they'll make sure I'm there.", "Christine: If you're not, your parents could be charged with aiding and abetting a fugitive. So you see, Fen, this isn't about your freedom on the line. It's about your parents', as well.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "[Door opens]", "Tyler: All right, so who do you think was here?", "Abby: I know who was -- you know what, Tyler? Never mind. I don't need this.", "Tyler: Don't need what?", "Abby: These games. You bring me to L.A. to try and mess with my head. I don't have a problem finding men.", "Tyler: Wait a minute.", "Abby: I've dated movie stars, billionaires, professional athletes. I once had a Norwegian prince offer to buy me a castle on a fjord just to be closer to him. And maybe -- maybe he wasn't a real prince. Maybe he was just Nordic-ly gorgeous and ridiculously wealthy, but you know what? The castle was real, and so was the fjord.", "Tyler: Okay, Abby, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.", "Abby: Me! Me! I have options, lots of them! I'm not gonna just sit around while you sneak around with your ex, okay?", "Tyler: All right, this has just gone from loopy to downright insane.", "Abby: I saw someone leave this room.", "Tyler: And you think it was Mariah?", "Abby: It wasn't a maid, and it wasn't a thief. And you know the saddest thing about the whole entire thing is I believed you when you said this wasn't another fling, that what we had meant something.", "Tyler: You were gone for, like, three minutes. What do you think happened?", "Abby: I don't know, but something did.", "Tyler: [Scoffs] Okay, Baby. You know what I think? I think that all of this sunshine is playing tricks with your mind.", "Abby: And I think it illuminated the situation perfectly. So you know what? You and Mariah have fun playing your reindeer games. Abby out. Stop it. Let go of me.", "Tyler: Unh-unh. You're not doing this, all right. We're gonna go down to the front desk. We're gonna straighten this out. Because we are gonna have a Merry Christmas, all right? Even if it kills me.", "Abby: Don't tempt me.", "Tyler: [Sighs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Do you like your dollhouse?", "Faith: I love it!", "Nick: Yes.", "Faith: But it's not fair.", "Sharon: What's not fair?", "Faith: I got to see one of my presents, and you guys didn't.", "Sharon: Well, maybe we should each open a present, then.", "Faith: Yeah!", "Sharon: Well, let's see. Why don't you grab that one and give it to Daddy?", "Faith: Here, Daddy! Open it!", "Nick: Good toss. All right. Is it a globe?", "Faith: [Giggles]", "Nick: No!", "Sharon: [Chuckles]", "Faith: [Giggles]", "Nick: Oh, man. Check that out.", "Faith: [Giggles]", "Nick: \"Best dad!\" Nice job, mommy.", "Faith: I made it!", "Nick: Oh, you made it. All right, well, then I extra love it. Great job. This is the best present ever.", "Faith: You said that last year.", "Nick: Well, they're all the best presents ever. Come here.", "Faith: [Grunts]", "Nick: [Smooches] I love you. Hey, little elf, see that red and white one right there? Why don't you go give that one to your mommy?", "Faith: So heavy.", "Sharon: Wow, I get the big one?", "Faith: [Giggles]", "Sharon: It's from you. You got me a present?", "Nick: I did. Just a little something.", "Sharon: Okay. Well, I really love the wrapping paper. And the ribbon.", "Nick: Just so you know, it's not a \"Best Mom\" shirt.", "Sharon: Oh. A foot spa.", "Nick: Yeah. The other day you said that your feet always hurt when you wear heels all day, so I thought you could use something like that when you came home.", "Sharon: I love it. Thank you.", "Nick: Merry Christmas.", "Sharon: Merry Christmas.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Merry Christmas to you, too, Daniel. I'm glad you're there. Yeah, j-just put the phone next to her ear. Hey, Red. Merry Christmas. Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you. I think about you all the time. It's cold here. Very cold. Talking about more snow. Again. 'Cause, of course, 3 feet isn't enough. Remember we were gonna get away from the cold this winter, go off to Maui. We can still do that, you know. We can go to all the places we talked about. Hey, we could bring Summer with us, she just had a birthday. Well, of course, you know that. Gave her a mountain of presents. You'd have told me I was spoiling her, but it went pretty well. There's something here for you, too. I won't tell you what it is, but... it'll be here waiting for you when you get here. So will I. I miss you, Red. I'd tell you I wish you were here, but... you are here. You're in my heart. I just want you in my arms. Merry Christmas. I love you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: You see, Michael, we really had no choice. The lab found gunshot residue and some blood splatter on the suit that Fenmore was wearing the night Carmine was shot.", "Christine: Between the forensics and your stories about the sober chip not adding up, I had to issue a warrant.", "Michael: Well, um... [Clears throat] We know this hasn't been easy on either of you. And, um, we would like to thank you for spending your Christmas Eve making sure that our son spends the holidays with us.", "Paul: Well, we have to get over to Chancellor Park.", "Lauren: Oh, that's right. That's tonight. We, uh, we would have loved to have gone.", "Paul: Well, if we can wrap up this paperwork, we can all get out of here. I just need your signature right here.", "Summer: Fen? Fen, please just give me a second to explain --", "Fenmore: Explain what?! You lied to me.", "Summer: Fen, I didn't do it because I wanted to stab you in the back. I did it because I care about you. You're my friend.", "Fenmore: No. My friends aren't rats.", "Summer: Fen, you were doing something stupid and dangerous.", "Fenmore: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that vote of confidence.", "Summer: Look, Fen, I get it, okay? You want to run away and leave all of your problems behind. I did it, but I learned very quickly that that's not the answer.", "Fenmore: Yeah, maybe not for you.", "Summer: Yeah, Fen, neither for you. You were in trouble, major trouble.", "Fenmore: Look, I could have handled it all on my own. I didn't need your help.", "Summer: Why? Why would you want to, Fen, when you have so many people that want to help you, people that love you and care about you?", "Fenmore: People like you?", "Summer: Yes, Fen! People like me! I did it because I care about you.", "Fenmore: Yeah, well... I don't want your help.", "Summer: Fine. Go ahead and push away all the people that care about you. But you have no idea how lucky you are to have those two people in there. Because I would give and do anything to be with both my parents on Christmas.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Abby: You're gonna make me do it, aren't you?", "Tyler: What?", "Abby: Apologize.", "Tyler: Well, I mean, if there's something that you feel like you want to apologize for, I'm not gonna stop you.", "Abby: Okay, it's perfectly reasonable for me to assume that something weird happened when I saw a strange woman leave our room.", "Tyler: Okay, that's an apology? Really? [Chuckles]", "Abby: Okay, I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion.", "Tyler: All right, this isn't your thing. Let me -- let me help you out. You could say something like, \"I'm so sorry that I was a raving lunatic and I accused you of something so ridiculous that I can't even repeat it.", "Abby: How was I supposed to know that the hotel room keys were all mixed up?", "Tyler: Okay, so you believe what the guy at the desk said, yeah?", "Abby: I guess it's possible that someone went up to the wrong floor and used their room key to get into our room.", "Tyler: All right, well, I don't think they would have gave us a free spa treatment if that wasn't true.", "Abby: All right! I'm sorry! I'm really, really sorry that I acted like a jealous idiot. But at least we got free massages out of it.", "Tyler: Yeah, which I think I'm gonna go ahead and pass up on. You know, after that whole mix-up with Traci...", "Abby: Okay, well, we could soak in the Jacuzzi. Give each other massages. Hmm?", "Tyler: That sounds good. After.", "Abby: After what?", "Tyler: After we go down to the beach, watch the sunset, and then we wait for your star to appear.", "Abby: Ooh, well, it'll be a little while until the sun sets. What are we gonna do till then?", "Tyler: Tell you what. I've got some ideas.", "Abby: Ooh. [Chuckles]", "Tyler: [Chuckles]", "Abby: Christmas!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: All right, Beautiful. Have you thought about what you're gonna wish for when you light your candle?", "Faith: I already got my wish.", "Sharon: Was it your dollhouse?", "Nick: No? What, you want me to tell Santa to take that thing back?", "Faith: Daddy, you can't do that!", "Sharon: If it wasn't your dollhouse you wished for, then what is it?", "Faith: I wished that you and Daddy and I could be together for Christmas. And Santa heard me.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Fenmore: Ho ho ho. Merry Christmas.", "Lauren: Here you go.", "Michael: Thank you.", "Lauren: Okay, Men. You know, we have not had much time to decorate.", "Michael: Well, we haven't had much inclination, either.", "Lauren: Yes, but it's never too late. Any interest?", "Fenmore: Absolutely none.", "Lauren: Okay, well, I'm gonna put up a few things. I still have some Christmas spirit.", "Fenmore: Ever the optimist.", "Michael: I would be glad to help. You know what I always say. A little garland and tinsel always cheers up a room.", "Lauren: You know, Fen, you used to love my positive outlook. Do you remember the Christmas list that had 14 items and one was larger than the next?", "Fenmore: You told me that if I was good enough, Santa would give me everything.", "Lauren: And?", "Fenmore: I'm not a kid anymore, Mom.", "Lauren: But that doesn't mean that I still don't want everything to be right in your world.", "Michael: That's all we've ever wanted.", "Fenmore: And all I've ever done is disappoint you.", "Lauren: That is not true.", "Fenmore: I killed a guy, Mom.", "Lauren: Your father's gonna get you acquitted.", "Fenmore: There's that optimism.", "Lauren: You know something? It worked in your favor in the gift department.", "Fenmore: You know, I hope you're right about this, too, 'cause... I got to tell you... I'm scared.", "Lauren: Come here, Sweetie. Come here.

But I'd just be a distraction.", "Hilary: Paparazzi outside wants to make it all about you.", "Devon: Mm-hmm. I really wish my grandmother were around. She would tell me exactly how to handle those clowns.", "Hilary: How would she do that?", "Devon: Oh, I... I don't know. But I'm sure it would have involved an obscene gesture.", "Hilary: [Chuckles] What? Your grandmother really would do that?", "Devon: She would. That was her, the great Katherine Chancellor.", "Hilary: Wow. I wish I could have met her. You really miss her, huh?", "Devon: Yeah. You know, she wasn't even a part of my life a few years ago. And now that she's gone, I don't have a clear picture of who I am. And it's no wonder that somebody stole my identity.", "Hilary: It's easy to lose yourself when you lose an anchor.", "Devon: How do you get yourself back?", "Hilary: Maybe I can help.", "Devon: What, you have a magic wand to get rid of those bloodsuckers outside?", "Hilary: No, but I could tell you who's been causing all this trouble for you.", "Devon: You know the person who stole my identity?", "Hilary: Yes. And so do you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Abby: No. No. [Chuckles] Merry Christmas. [Chuckles]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: Hello, everyone. And welcome to the first ever holiday candle-lighting ceremony here in Chancellor Park. As many of you know, this beautiful place was dedicated in the memory of our beloved Katherine Chancellor. And it seems strange, at least to me, that the holidays are upon us and she is not here to share them with us, at least, physically. It's been months since she passed on, and, um, I still expect her to be in town and pick up the phone and hear her voice, but sadly that has not happened. I miss her terribly. And I'm sure I'm not alone in that. And during the holidays, we all have a tendency to grieve over those we have lost. But the Katherine Chancellor I know wouldn't have any of that. She was the complete and total embodiment of the spirit of the season. And even though in her advanced age, she had the uncanny ability to see the world through the eyes of a child, that is not to say she didn't face challenges. She did. And she met them head on. But she never lost faith in the resilience of the human spirit. She believed that faith would indeed overpower fear. And she also believed in family and the bonds of love that bind us to the ones we hold most dear. But above all... she believed in hope. Even in her darkest days, she never lost hope. So join me, everyone, in lighting a candle to honor our beloved Katherine Chancellor and making a wish... a wish made in love... to a beautiful future.", "All: The first noel the angels did say was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay in fields where they lay keeping their sheep on a cold winter's night that was so deep noel noel noel noel born is the King of Israel they looked up and saw a star shining in the east beyond them far noel noel noel noel born is the King of Israel", "All: Happy holidays from \"The Young and the Restless.\"", "[NEXT_ON]", "Victoria: Hi!

Not to mention the rewards they bring.", "Jill: [Chuckles]", "Lily: Yeah, Colin here even managed to sit through Mattie and Charlie's Christmas pageant without falling asleep.", "Colin: Come on! They stole the show!", "Neil: Spoken like a true grandfather.", "Jill: Oh, how cute was Mattie when she came in holding that giant star bigger than she was?", "[Laughter]", "Hilary: I need to get Jill and Colin their drinks.", "Devon: Just a minute. Just a minute.", "Hilary: You were supposed to bring Gwen.", "Devon: I didn't want to do that to you after you told me how much it bugged you.", "Hilary: It doesn't matter how I feel.", "Devon: I didn't want to do it to Gwen, either. All right? It's like Neil said. This is a time when people really care about each other should be together.", "Hilary: I can't change how I feel about you. But now that we know that Neil is on the verge of drinking again? We can't be together in any way.", "Devon: Are you saying --", "Hilary: Yes, Devon. No more sneaking around. Not while I'm married to your father. Agreed? Okay, one glass of bubbly.", "Jill: Oh, thank you.", "Hilary: And whiskey. No ice.", "Colin: You know, as I was saying... there's nothing quite like being around this kind of unconditional love.", "Lily: Aww. Hear, hear. [Chuckles]", "Hilary: Dinner should be ready any minute.", "Neil: Wait, quick announcement first. Before the evening's over... I'm gonna have a surprise. For everyone.", "Michael: I feel bad that you had to cancel your ski trip with your friends.", "Lauren: Yeah. I mean, you were really looking forward to that.", "Fenmore: Maybe we could all go next year. Ski the alps.", "Lauren: I don't remember the last time I had a pair of skis on.", "Michael: It's been awhile for me, too.", "Lauren: Honey, what classes are you taking next semester?", "Fenmore: Econ, statistics, abnormal psych. And astronomy for my science elective.", "Lauren: Abnormal psych?", "Fenmore: Yeah, I mean, it's pretty interesting. I needed another social science credit.", "Michael: Well, living amongst the Baldwin-fishers, you should have plenty of first-hand source material for your papers.", "Lauren: That's true.", "Fenmore: Yeah, Kevin is claustrophobic on account of his dad being abusive. I could research that, and, of course, your father is a --", "Michael: Is a sociopath. Oh, and Gloria. There's a case study.", "[Laughter]", "Lauren: How about more salad. Anybody?", "Fenmore: Yeah, I'll have some.", "Lauren: There you go. You're welcome.", "Michael: All right. That's it. [Inhales deeply] No more walking on eggshells. It's time we talked about what's really going on.", "Faith: Who's that?!", "Nick: Ho, ho, ho!", "Sharon: I'll find out.", "Nick: Ho, ho, ho.", "Sharon: Honey, look! It's Santa!", "Nick: Ho, ho, ho, ho!", "Dylan: Man, did I time this visit right.", "Faith: You're not Santa. You're daddy.", "Nick: Aw, man! Can't get anything by you.", "Faith: [Chuckles] You came!", "Nick: I just wanted to come and drop you a couple presents here. It's your night to be with your mother.", "Faith: You're leaving?", "Nick: Yeah. You remember that talk we had the other day?", "Faith: I know. You and mommy aren't together. But you're here.", "Nick: Sweetheart.", "Faith: Okay. I get it. Please, daddy. Can't we all try to get along? Just for tonight?", "Nick: Well, I suppose I could stay. If it was okay with your mother.", "Sharon: I have problem with that.", "Faith: [Laughs] Yes! You guys are the best.", "Dylan: Well, I should get going.", "Sharon: Oh, wait. Your present.", "Dylan: Oh.", "Sharon: Merry Christmas, Dylan.", "Dylan: Oh, thank you. Same to you. Santa, always good seeing you.", "Nick: You, too, man. I'll walk you to the door.", "Mariah: Bye, dude. Merry...whatever.", "Dylan: Merry whatever to you, too, Mariah. And what about you? Where's my Christmas hug?", "Faith: Right here!", "Dylan: All right! Merry Christmas.", "Faith: Merry Christmas.", "Nick: I just want to thank you again for everything you did for faith the other day. I'm just sorry you got dragged into this mess.", "Dylan: I'm just glad she came to me. It's what family's for.", "Nick: You got it.", "Dylan: Merry Christmas.", "Nick: Merry Christmas.", "Dylan: Hey!", "Noah: Merry Christmas!", "Dylan: You too!", "Noah: We're here!", "Sharon: Hey! Noah and Courtney! You're right on time. I was just about to pour eggnog.", "Mariah: Ooh.", "Noah: Dad. I'm glad you're here.", "Nick: Well, I'm doing it for faith. I wasn't gonna stay, but she asked me to.", "Noah: Well, I'm sure she's thrilled.", "Nick: Well, I'm just worried it's gonna send the wrong message, you know? I don't want to get her hopes up.", "Noah: What, that you can put your anger aside during Christmas for your daughter's benefit? I don't think that's such a bad message.", "Mariah: Kev, Kev, Kev. Slow down. What's going on?", "Kevin: Just get over to the police station right away. I need your help.", "Mariah: I don't know if you heard, but it's kind of Christmas Eve.", "Kevin: And I'm desperate, or I wouldn't be calling. Can you just get here now, please? Thanks. Bye.", "Jill: Ah, but to you, they're just derelict buildings. The people who live there and work there probably don't feel that way.", "Cane: Since when did you become so anti-business? That's what I'm trying to understand.", "Jill: I'm not anti-business, all right? I'm anti-bulldozing the livelihoods and homes of hundreds of people.", "Colin: Let's change the subject. Business, politics -- it's kind of --", "Neil: Bad for the digestion.", "Cane: Exactly, so let's all just agree to disagree.", "Jill: That's fine with me.", "Cane: All right.", "Jill: Absolutely.", "Colin: Uh... what time are we expected at Michael and Lauren's?", "Jill: Oh, my God! Oh, Neil, I am so, so sorry.", "Neil: Oh, no, that's okay. That's fine. Just give them my best, okay?", "Jill: Mwah! I will. Thank you both for a lovely, lovely dinner.", "Neil: Thank you for joining us. Thanks, Colin.", "Hilary: I'll get your coat.", "Jill: Okay. I am so sorry to eat and run like this.", "Hilary: Oh, no, no. It's okay. I'm just -- I'm glad that you could come. It means a lot to Neil to have everyone together.", "Jill: You know, Hilary, I've given you a hard time for a very long time. But now that I've been around you more and Neil and I've seen how happy you make him --", "Hilary: Okay, Jill. Don't feel obligated to say anything you don't mean just because it's Christmas.", "Jill: I never say anything I don't mean, not ever, okay? So if I give you a compliment, it is real. You've been a very gracious host in more ways than one.", "Hilary: Well, you seem happy.", "Jill: And the reason for that is that man standing right over there.", "Colin: Well, thanks to that money I got, I was hoping to buy some very nice presents this year.", "Devon: I'm so happy to hear you're putting it to good use. But if you're thinking of going to that well again, don't, because I told you that we're done.", "Colin: And a merry Christmas to you, too.", "Devon: Same.", "Lily: Well, goodbye, you guys. Have a good night. Merry Christmas.", "Neil: There's something I want to talk to you about. I hope I can trust you to keep a secret.", "Cane: You know, believe it or not, that's something I'm very good at doing.", "Neil: I've been accepted into an experimental program that specializes in my type of blindness.", "Cane: That's fantastic.", "Neil: Yeah.", "Cane: That's great.", "Neil: They say that I'm a good candidate. I am not getting my hopes up too much right now. But, oh, what I wouldn't give to see everything that I've been missing.", "Nikki: I got a call earlier from the club. Kelly wanted to know how many people would be at our table?", "Victor: For what?", "Nikki: Joe Clark's cocktail party. Why on earth would you accept an invitation from a group that supports the demolition of the warehouse district? Do you know the stakes for Dylan here? If this goes through, he'll lose his coffee house.", "Victor: Sweetheart, we're simply gathering some information. You know, then there's a q&a for the developers later on.", "Nikki: Oh, really?", "Victor: Yeah.", "Nikki: All right, I'm sorry. I just -- I get so upset when I think about these out-of-towners who just want to come in and raze a neighborhood.", "Victor: Sweetheart.", "Nikki: Can't you talk to the sellers, Victor?", "Victor: It's Christmas Eve. Can we not talk about this another day?", "Nikki: It's on my mind.", "Victor: I understand.", "[Doorbell rings]", "Victor: Who's -- who's this?", "Nikki: I don't know, but as you say, it's Christmas Eve. People like to come around and say hello. Oh, Dylan! What a surprise. Come in.", "Dylan: Thanks, thanks.", "Nikki: Gosh. This is nice.", "Victor: Hello, Dylan.", "Dylan: Victor.", "Victor: Nice to see you.", "Dylan: You too.", "Victor: Well, I got a stop to make, so I'll leave you alone with your mother for awhile. Okay, sweetheart.", "Nikki: Okay. [Sighs] Victor and I were just talking about those awful people who want to just come in and destroy neighborhoods. As far as I'm concerned, they are just evil bean counters who don't give a damn who they hurt.", "Mariah: Kevin? Kev?", "Kevin: Down here.", "Mariah: Hi. Did you lose a contact?", "Kevin: Roscoe got out of his cage.", "Mariah: Oh, my God. You let a criminal escape?", "Kevin: No, it's Harding's pet. I'm supposed to be watching it while Harding is out of town.", "Mariah: Are you joking?", "Kevin: Does it look like I'm joking?! This is his cage. It's empty. I didn't latch the door correctly.", "Mariah: Why are we whispering?", "Kevin: Because I don't want to scare him away.", "Mariah: Okay, well, what is he? Is he an iguana or a python or?", "Kevin: A rabbit.", "Mariah: [Laughing] A rabbit?", "Kevin: It's not funny. It's not funny.", "Mariah: [Laughs] Tough guy Harding has a -- has a pet bunny rabbit?", "Kevin: Stop laughing! This is serious. He could fire me or kill me or both!", "Mariah: [Laughing] Oh, my God.", "Kevin: I don't even know why I called you. I'm screwed, but why would you care?", "Mariah: No, Kevin! [Laughing] Kevin. Kevin, Kevin. I -- [Laughs] I care. I do. I care. I promise. I will help you find this poor little bunny rabbit, okay?", "Kevin: Thank you.", "Mariah: Okay. Um... come here, roscoe. Roscoe?", "Kevin: Roscoe.", "Mariah: Okay. Roscoe.", "Kevin: Roscoe.", "Mariah: Come here.", "Kevin: [Gasps] I see him. There he goes. Roscoe, Roscoe! [Grunts] He's under here. I -- I can't reach.", "Mariah: Okay, let me try.", "Kevin: Yeah.", "Michael: There is a subject that we feel that we all have to tiptoe around. And the subject is making us all very uncomfortable, and if neither of you are courageous enough to say it, I will. This lasagna is dry. There is not enough sauce. And there isn't nearly enough cheese.", "Lauren: Oh, tragedy strikes!", "Fenmore: Holiday ruined!", "Lauren: And it's all my fault, of course!", "Fenmore: Actually, it's dad's fault for being too lazy to fire up the grill.", "Michael: What?!", "Fenmore: Yeah.", "Michael: Oh, no. Really? You want me to go on the roof in the cold and barbecue a steak on Christmas Eve?", "Both: Yes.", "[Both laugh]", "Michael: Look... we all know what I'm dealing with.", "Lauren: What we're dealing with.", "Michael: What we're dealing with. And what we're dealing with has a name. Cancer. Can-cer. Cancer!", "Lauren: [Laughs]", "Michael: Cancer", "Lauren: [Laughs]", "Michael: Ca-a-ncer ca-a-a-a-ncer", "Lauren: Oh!", "Both: Cancer, ca-a-ncer what are you doing?!", "All: Ca-a-a-a-ncer cancer, ca-a-ncer there's cancer", "[Laughter]", "Michael: Cancer! Cancer!", "[All chanting \"cancer\"]", "[Laughter]", "Michael: Oh! Now, doesn't that feel better, family?", "Lauren: Much. [Laughs]", "Fenmore: Yeah, actually.", "Michael: It's so important that we keep our sense of humor. [Sighs] It is. I mean, we've dealt with -- we've dealt with so much. We're gonna deal with it with strength and grace. And humor. Mwah! Mwah! I want us to make a pact right now, that we will not let this disease that I have rob us of who we are as a family. Or rob us of our capacity for joy. In all its forms. Little and small and big and great. Agreed?", "Lauren: [Chuckles]", "Michael: Yeah?", "Fenmore: I do so solemnly swear.", "[Doorbell rings]", "Michael: What is that?", "Lauren: I totally forgot. Oh, no.", "Michael: Who is it?", "Lauren: Jill.", "Jill: God, what happened? Are you all right? We were down the hall and we heard screaming. What's the matter?", "[Laughter]", "Dylan: I'm doing all I can to fight this thing, but I also got to be realistic. If I can't stop the redevelopment plan, I'm probably gonna have to figure something else out.", "Nikki: It just upsets me that it might even be necessary. Crimson lights is very important to Nicholas, too.", "Dylan: Nick's been very supportive. So have a lot of other people.", "Nikki: I asked Victor if he could possibly stop this, 'cause he has a lot of friends in government and in business.", "Dylan: We're not gonna spend our whole visit talking about this, are we? Because I brought you something. Your Christmas present.", "Nikki: That is so sweet. Ooh, I have something for you and Avery, too.", "Dylan: No. No, you first.", "Nikki: Okay. [Sighs]", "Courtney: Noah, that's gorgeous.", "Noah: It's the one that you saw in the window, right? The one that you loved?", "Courtney: Yeah.", "Noah: Good.", "Courtney: I love it.", "Sharon: Can I see?", "Courtney: Sure.", "Sharon: Oh. It's so pretty.", "Courtney: Want to help me put it on?", "Noah: Of course. [Clears throat] All right.", "Faith: [Smooches]", "Noah: One second. Do you think that's funny? Do you think that's funny?", "Sharon: [Laughs]", "Nick: Oh, you're gonna get it!", "[Knock on door]", "Noah: It's not funny!", "[Faith laughs]", "Sharon: Victor.", "Victor: I just wanted to bring by a present for faith. From grandma and me.", "Faith: Stop it!", "Mariah: Did we lose the bunny?", "Kevin: I don't know. Oh, my God. What if somebody opens the door and he gets out that way?", "[Cell phone rings]", "Kevin: [Sighs] It's Harding. What do I do?", "Mariah: You answer it or you let it go to voicemail. I think those are you only two options.", "Kevin: Hey! Harding! How's it going? He's great. He's -- he's living the dream. Getting waited on paw and foot. What? N-no. No, no. You don't owe me at all. Merry Christmas to you, too. I'm a dead man.", "Mariah: Worst-case scenario, we just -- we get the guy another rabbit. They all look the same. He's not gonna know the difference.", "Kevin: He hasn't had roscoe that long, but I think he's gonna know. I give Harding a hard time, but he's a pretty smart detective.", "Mariah: We have to be detectives. We have to think like one. Why would a rabbit leave the comfort of his home for a foreign environment? Where is he going? What does he want?", "Kevin: He wants carrots. I think you're mocking me.", "Mariah: No, I'm not, I swear. It just kind of sounds that way. Wait, shh, shh. Do you hear that? It sounds like a rabbit.", "Kevin: Rabbits don't make noise.", "Mariah: Okay, well, that non-noise is coming from over there.", "Kevin: [Gasps] I see him. I see him, I see him. Um... look what I found!", "Mariah: Uh, nice bunny, but you're gonna want to see this.", "Kevin: [Laughing] What? Oh, my God. Baby bunnies!", "Mariah: They are adorable!", "Kevin: That's so cute!", "Mariah: I guess Harding didn't know enough about his little friend over here.", "Kevin: Yeah. I guess roscoe is a, uh... a Roxie.", "Mariah: [Chuckles] I guess so.", "Kevin: That's crazy.", "Mariah: Hey.", "Kevin: Wow.", "Victor: What the hell are you doing here, son? How can you stand to be in the same room with the woman who has done so much damage to you and our family?", "Nick: I'm here because I care about faith.", "Sharon: And if you care about her, too, then you won't ruin this night for her.", "Victor: And you have the audacity to say that to me? After what you have done to this family? Don't you realize what the hell she's doing? She's manipulating you, son.", "Nick: Okay, just stop.", "Victor: Are you that naive?", "Nick: Stop.", "Victor: I'm not gonna lose faith. I'm not gonna lose our granddaughter because of your weakness.", "Nick: Dad, it's Christmas Eve. If this is how you're gonna act, then you got to leave.", "Victor: I can't believe that you're standing up for her.", "Sharon: He's not. He's standing up for our little girl on Christmas Eve.", "Nikki: How old were you when this was taken?", "Dylan: I was 8 or 9.", "Nikki: Aww.", "Dylan: After my dad, terry, died, I found all this stuff in his personal effects, and I really had no idea what to do with it. And then it hit me one day that you hadn't seen any pictures of me as a kid.", "Nikki: Mnh-mnh.", "Dylan: And you missed out on all that growing-up stuff, so... here's a little bit of it. My baseball trophy right here.", "Nikki: Aww.", "Dylan: Report card.", "Nikki: Oh!", "Dylan: Slingshot.", "Nikki: [Laughs]", "Dylan: And some artwork. I don't know if you'd call that artwork.", "Nikki: Oh, my gosh. Oh, this is just the best gift ever. I will treasure it always. These things must have meant a lot to your father that he kept them for so long.", "Dylan: Ah, who knows? Maybe he forgot he had them.", "Nikki: Oh, I don't think so. I think he cherished all of this. Especially when you were overseas. I'm very honored that you're entrusting me with this.", "Dylan: That's pretty amazing if you think about it. You know how far we've come since last Christmas.", "Nikki: Oh, we knew nothing about each other, and I had no idea where to start. I just worried and wondered if we would ever have any kind of relationship.", "Dylan: Yeah, at the time, I just, you know, I felt like I couldn't -- couldn't trust anybody or anything.", "Nikki: I know.", "Dylan: But...you hung in there with me. And I'm really glad that you did. [Chuckles] I'm just feeling really blessed. Merry Christmas, Mom.", "Nikki: Oh, Merry Christmas, my dear, dear son.", "Neil: Everybody, it's time to open a Christmas Eve present!", "[Cheers and applause]", "Lily: Okay, hey, you can open one tonight and the rest tomorrow morning. Okay?", "Hilary: Okay, come on, guys. Help me play Santa Claus.", "Neil: All right.", "Lily: I'll light the Christmas candle.", "Cane: Want me to get you some matches?", "Lily: No, I have them right here.", "Cane: Okay. Is everybody excited? Ready?", "Cane: Yes!", "Lily: Whoo!", "Cane: Yay!", "Lily: Dad, do you want Moses to sit with you and open presents or you want me and cane to help him?", "Devon: Dad? You all right?", "Kevin: Nice work getting that nest moved into roscoe's cage without disturbing any of those baby bunnies.", "Mariah: Thank you.", "Kevin: Who knew that you could be maternal?", "Mariah: Me.", "Kevin: [Chuckles]", "Mariah: What about old fluffy here? She must have been preggers when Harding got her.", "Kevin: I cannot wait to see the look on his face.", "Mariah: You know, do you think that Harding would let faith have one of the bunnies? After it's okay to be away from the mom.", "Kevin: Yeah, I don't see why not. What is he gonna do with all those baby bunnies?", "Mariah: What is he gonna do with one?", "Kevin: [Laughs]", "Mariah: You know, I'm glad that you called me. This was fun. You're fun.", "Kevin: Well, I try.", "Mariah: [Laughs]", "Kevin: Okay, now that the crisis has been averted, I guess I should head over to Michael's.", "Mariah: And I should get going back to Sharon's, so...", "Kevin: Merry Christmas, Mariah.", "Mariah: Merry Christmas, Kevin.", "Jill: I hate to tell you guys this, but your singing voices are terrible.", "Colin: I have to agree with that. It's unlike any caroling I've ever heard. More like, uh, fingernails down a blackboard.", "Lauren: Really? Well, we apologize for the quality of our voices. I'm a [Clears throat] Little rusty.", "Michael: Mwah! We are sorry that we scared you. But I personally would like to start eating sweets and other things that are not good for me, and I would like to open a Christmas Eve present.", "Jill: Well, that sounds very appealing to me, and luckily, look what we brought -- champagne, because of our successful year.", "Michael: Yes!", "Lauren: Fen, will you please show Jill and Colin where the glasses are?", "Jill: Please do.", "Fenmore: Sure. It's all in the kitchen.", "Jill: Okay, great. Thanks.", "Michael: [Laughs]", "Lauren: Come here.", "Michael: What?", "Lauren: I have something for you. I wanted to give you something.", "Michael: Ohh. [Sighs]", "Colin: Well, it looks like your mom and dad started ahead of us.", "Jill: [Laughs]", "Michael: Lauren just gave me two tickets to the ring cycle in New York...for next October.", "Colin: All this for four days of Wagner in 10 months?", "Jill: [Chuckles] They must be big fans.", "Colin: Mm.", "Noah: Is everything okay?", "Nick: Yeah, grandpa just wanted to drop by some Christmas cheer.", "Victor: Well, how is Christmas going?", "Faith: Perfect.", "Victor: Yeah?", "Faith: I didn't know you were coming, too.", "Victor: Yes, sweetie.", "Faith: I would have saved you some of the cookies we made for Santa.", "Victor: Oh, yeah? Well, that is so sweet of you. But you know what I did? I brought you a present from grandma and me.", "Faith: [Chuckles]", "Victor: Merry Christmas to you.", "Faith: I love you, grandpa.", "Victor: Oh, sweetheart. I love you so much. Are you curious what's in there?", "Noah: Merry Christmas, grandpa.", "Victor: Merry Christmas, Noah. Okay. Well, you have a nice evening.", "Nick: Merry Christmas, dad.", "Victor: Merry Christmas, son.", "Mariah: Is this an alternate universe? What did I just see?", "Noah: Oh, just your run-of-the-mill Christmas miracle.", "Neil: I'm fine, Devon. Everything is good. It's just a very special evening for me. That's all.", "Lily: Okay, Devon. For you. From Neil and Hilary.", "Neil: Let me know what it is. My lovely wife did all our shopping this year.", "Cane: Yeah, so I want to know what you get the man who's got everything.", "Lily: [Chuckles]", "Devon: Okay. All right. Let's see what it is. It's a fruitcake.", "Lily: What?", "Neil: Seriously?", "Hilary: Yes, seriously.", "Devon: This is, um... it's perfect. It's perfect. Thank you, guys.", "Neil: Now, the billionaire who has everything. Now he's got some fruitcake. Who knew?", "Devon: Hey, Charlie. Can you hand me the present with that's green with the gold wrapper on it? There you go. Thank you. This is my gift to you and Hilary.", "Neil: Should we open it?", "Hilary: I'm not waiting.", "Devon: The top of the box just comes right off, dad.", "Neil: That's the top?", "Hilary: It's right --", "Neil: Thank you.", "Hilary: Oh, wow. It's a crystal bowl.", "Devon: Dad, I know you like to dump your change on your dresser every night, and I figured you can have something nice to put it all in.", "Neil: Yeah, it's thick and heavy so I can't knock it over. I like that. It's very nice. Thank you, son.", "Devon: You're welcome. You're welcome.", "Neil: [Clears throat] Um, lily, can I talk to you for a second? Would you guys mind?", "Devon: Not at all.", "Neil: Hey.", "Lily: What?", "Neil: I've got something... [Whispering indistinctly]", "Devon: I'd like to see you tomorrow for Christmas.", "Hilary: No, Devon. We already agreed.", "Devon: Just five minutes. Okay? Not in a suite, no beds involved. I just want to talk to you. Please.", "Neil: Everyone, I'd like you to gather 'round. I got a surprise for you.", "Neil: [Chuckles] I am going to read one of the all-time favorite Christmas stories, \"'twas the night before Christmas.\"", "Lily: [Chuckles]", "Neil: Thank you.", "Lily: Mm-hmm.", "Neil: Okay.", "Hilary: You're reading? In Braille?", "Cane: Didn't know you made so much progress.", "Neil: Well, lily has been helping me practice. I got to admit, it's been hard, but, hey. I've got the first part of this story memorized. [Chuckles]", "Neil: You ready?", "Charlie: Yes.", "Neil: Okay. \"'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, with hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there\"... ...\"but I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight, 'happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.'\"", "[Cheers and applause]", "Lily: Good job, dad!", "Neil: Thank you. [Laughs] Merry Christmas. I appreciate it.", "Devon: How long did that take you?", "Neil: It took me forever. Hey, what about opening presents in the morning, guys?", "[Children cheer]", "Neil: Is everybody -- yeah?", "Lily: Presents?", "Neil: Does anybody want to do that?", "Charlie: Yes.", "Neil: Yeah? Well, you're gonna have to wait.", "[Laughter]", "[NEXT_ON]", "Phyllis: This is the information I have been craving.", "Nick: Is there something you want to tell me?", "Hilary: It looks like a wedding ring." ]

[ "Victoria is at Nikki's bedside then goes into the hall as Nick arrives. They discuss Victor and that perhaps Nikki is holding on for Victor. Back at Victoria's house Johnny and Katie are still awake upstairs, while Billy and Reed are wrapping gifts to help Victoria. Billy says they are lucky that Reed came home. When they are finished wrapping they talk about Nikki. Bikky tells Reed that his grandmother is a fighter. Reed gets mad and tells Billy that his dad and Delia were fighters and look how that turned out. Meanwhile Lola and Kyle arrive back at his house shivering, Lola doesn't deal well with the cold. Lola tells Kyle the tree is missing one thing as she puts a gift under the tree because he has been a good boy. Lola teases him about her brothers giving him a hard time. The two have their first Christmas together toast and Lola relays that she now realizes she can have it all-a successful career and a boyfriend, and that the one makes the other one better. Lola opens her gift from Kyle and gushes over a purse he knew she wanted. Kyle opens a watch. He loves it and takes off his watch to put it on. Lola picks up his watch and realizes it doesn't come close to the discount store watch she bought. He assures her that her gift means way more as he cannot put a price tag on it since it is from her. He thanks her and they kiss. Back at the hospital Nick is now at his mother's bedside filling him in in the kids and shopping. He tells her he knows how much Christmas means to her. He is sorry for putting her in the middle of the battle between him and Victor. He tells her how strong she is and how she proved him wrong at the MS benefit and begs her to fight. Victoria is next at Nikki's bedside telling her mother how she stood up for her and now it's Victoria's turn to fight for her. — A twilight zone scene shows Nikki playing the piano who then hears \"don't give up mom\". Victoria tells her to try again but Nikki doesn't open her eyes. Victoria tells Nikki that Reed is really struggling. Nikki is again playing the piano and she hears Reed confessing that he hit her and is sorry. Nikki tells him no. She keeps hearing Reed saying \"it will be my fault\".", "In the hallway again, Nick and Victoria discuss how their being there helps. Victoria tells Nick how helpful Billy has been. Nick offers his help and Victoria heatedly reminds him that Dark Horse is a rival. Nick assures her he is not infringing upon her turf. She apologizes and they hug. Once home Victoria thanks Billy and Reed for wrapping. She gives an update on Nikki and laments the person who hit her. Reed asks if the police have any updates to which Victoria tells him no but that she is so proud of Reed. Johnny and Katie come downstairs and Johnny gives an encore performance in his snowman suit. Victoria explains to the kids about their grandmother as Reed uncomfortably looks on. At Nikki's bedside again, Nick is making small talk about Christmas and elf on the shelf and how he will record Christian's reaction. He tells her he misses her laugh and he is sorry he put her between him and Victor and that's why she didn't tell him about the drinking. In the twilight again — Nikki is playing the piano and calls out to Nicholas. Nick tells her that they had no luck in finding Victor and that he knows it's the one voice she wants to hear. Nikki is again playing piano until she sees a light. She stops and goes toward it. She then bears Victor's voice telling her not to go but she tells him the light is so beautiful. Victor tells her that they can make beautiful music here and she should stay. \"Stay\" he tells her as he holds out his hand to Nikki and they dance. They stop dancing and Nikki again looks longingly at the light. Victor tries to distract her from going to the light and asks that she play piano for him. He stands by her as she plays the theme song to the Young and the Restless (Nadia's Theme) and as the first few chords slowly begin to sound, she emotionally looks up at her Victor.

[ "Michael goes to give the Winters the bad news. Devon's DNA was found on Carmen's earring. It was in saliva. Michael says he can explain all that away. Devon was arguing with the woman on the elevator and spit could have flown on her. Devon feels that is ridiculous and that no one will believe that. Michael believes it. He just needs for the owner of the other mystery DNA sample to be identified and that will cause doubt on Devon's case and give the boy a fighting chance as that will create doubt. Kevin has to go and give a sample. He worries that there are things that he should know and so he asks Michael for advice before heading out. Michael says that there isn't anything to worry about if the boy is telling the truth. He says that he is but he is worried because he doesn't have an alibi for Carmen's murder timeline. Paul tells JT that there is trouble. Someone has been looking into Brad's past in Cleveland and he was just alerted about it. JT has no idea what that could be about. Paul wishes that he knew what Michael was up to but he knows that he can't go to the man now. He calls Lauren and invites her out for coffee. She says that it is too cold and that she doesn't want to take Fenmore outside. He will come to her then. Paul calls Brad and gives him the news about what is going on in Cleveland. He thanks Paul for the call and turns to his mother and wife. Rebecca wonders if this is Victor's doing. Victoria throws her hands up and says that she is sorry, but she only thought that she was helping when she told her father about Brad's brother. \"I am sorry that I am not as good at fabricating as you both are,\" she says to Brad and Rebecca. Paul is getting ready to go and see Lauren. As he and JT are leaving the coffeehouse they see Will and some man enter. JT stays behind and watches as Kevin gets a swab done for DNA testing. He goes to Kevin to question him about that but Kevin isn't interested in talking. Paul heads to Lauren's and they talk for a bit. He asks her about the murder case. \"I'm home!\" Michael has returned and isn't pleased to find Paul in his apartment, or asking about the case. \"Get out! He isn't welcomed here!\" Michael shouts. Paul walks out immediately. Victoria, Rebecca and Brad try to figure this thing out. \"He had no brother,\" Michael tells Victor. Victor isn't surprised. He orders Michael to drop everything, the murder case included and find out what Brad's secret it. Later Victor is surprised to find Rebecca, Victoria and Brad at his house. He asks the trio what they are doing there. \"Dad,\" Victoria starts. \"There is something that we have to tell you \"" ]

I have a right to take it easy just like everyone else.", "J.T.: Yeah, you do. You gonna stay here all day?", "Colleen: I don't know. I might go hit up some sales or something.", "J.T.: You feel like some company?", "Colleen: Aren't you meeting Paul?", "J.T.: Well, I thought I could play hooky, too. You know, we could hang out. It'd be fun.", "Colleen: You know what? It's okay.", "J.T.: (Chuckles) you realize what you're passing up, right? I mean, I'm offering to go shopping with you on the busiest day of the year, and that, that is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.", "Colleen: Thank you, but I really think I'd rather be alone.", "J.T.: Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Success?", "Lauren: (Chuckles) yes! He's asleep.", "Michael: Peace and quiet at last.", "Lauren: Thanks so much for getting up with him last night.", "Michael: I'm the Daddy. That's what the Daddy does.", "Lauren: I know, but a lot of daddies wouldn't be as involved, so I just want you to know how much I appreciate it.", "Michael: Hey, look, I'm not like those other run-of-the-mill guys.", "Lauren: No, you're not.", "Michael: I'd do anything for that kid. That's what being a good dad's all about, right?", "Lauren: Yep. Hmm, you thinking about Neil?", "Michael: He must feel sick.", "Lauren: When are you going over there?", "Michael: Right now.", "Lauren: I'm really glad you didn't have to say anything to them on Christmas Eve.", "Michael: I couldn't. I walked in there, and they were so happy. There's no way I could ruin their holidays by telling them that Bardwell's case against Devon has gotten even stronger.", "Lauren: Oh, I can't believe this. (Knock on door)", "Michael: It'll be okay. Mmm. (Groans)", "Kevin: Hey, I'm glad you're still here. Hi, Lauren.", "Lauren: Hi, Sweetie.", "Kevin: Um, I just wanted to check before I do this DNA test. Is there anything I need to know?", "Michael: No. Keep your mouth shut, do as you're instructed, it should go smoothly.", "Kevin: I really have to do this?", "Michael: Yes, you really have to do this. Look, Kevin, it was a trade-off. The only way I could get the DA to force Jack and Brad to give DNA samples was if you did, too.", "Kevin: Yeah, I get it. I know. You're just doing your job. You're Devon's attorney. You need to create a reasonable doubt, but, um, let's not forget, I'm your brother.", "Michael: \"I'm your brother\"? Okay, what does that mean?", "Kevin: Well, it means I don't have an alibi for the night Carmen was murdered.", "Michael: You don't need an alibi.", "Kevin: You sure about that?", "Michael: You're not hiding anything. Unless there's something you're not telling me?", "Kevin: What?", "Michael: Uh, someone else's DNA was found on Carmen's earring besides Devon's.", "Kevin: So?", "Michael: So there's no chance that--", "Kevin: That it's mine? No, Michael! Jeez, no, none!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: \"Of the reported injuries related to the storm, none were believed to be life-threatening.\"", "Nikki: Well, that's good.", "Victor: Boy, are we lucky. That could have been a tragic night, especially for our family, you know? Thankfully, everything turned out all right.", "Nikki: I'd rather hear about that than you saying what a hero Jack is.", "Victor: We do owe him.", "Nikki: Do we?", "Victor: Well, of course. He helped bring our granddaughter into the world. What are you talking about?", "Nikki: I think it was sheer coincidence that he happened to be stuck in an elevator with Phyllis. Yes, I'm sure he was helpful, and I'm sure she was happy she didn't have to go through all of that alone, but having given birth to two children, I can safely say that the mother does all the heavy work.", "Victor: Sweetheart--", "Nikki: Look, it was admirable. What he did was commendable. He didn't pass out. Great. But that does not make up for everything that he's done to you and me. You say that we owe him? You're right, we do. And I cannot wait to pay him back. (Telephone ringing)", "Jack: Hello?", "Nikki: Hi, Jack.", "Jack: Hey, I was just about to call you. I wanted to thank you once again for including me in your family Christmas celebration.", "Nikki: Oh, well, we're very happy to have had you. Um, you gonna be home for a while?", "Jack: Uh, yeah, sure. Why, what's up?", "Nikki: Well, we need to go over how we're gonna handle Phyllis' responsibilities while she's on maternity leave. I know we discussed splitting it, but it looks like Victor and I are gonna take some time off over the holidays, so...", "Jack: Well, that's great. You both deserve that.", "Nikki: Can I come over now?", "Jack: Uh, sure, I'm here.", "Nikki: See you in a bit.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Knock on door)", "Colleen: Dr. Korbel.", "Korbel: You weren't at the lecture.", "Colleen: I left you a message. Did you get it?", "Korbel: Yeah, I got it.", "Colleen: Then what are you doing here?", "Korbel: I came to give you these.", "Colleen: What's this?", "Korbel: Handouts from today's lecture. Dr. Moriarty talked a lot about the early stewards of religious art collections. I made copies of my notes, too. Thought they might come in handy for your paper.", "Colleen: Thank you.", "Korbel: You know, I'm not known for having the most legible handwriting. Maybe we should take a few minutes, go over them together in case you have any questions.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Yeah. So what did you find out? Are you sure? I can't be wrong about this. All right, all right, great. E-mail me the details. Yeah, thanks.

Then I'm on my way.", "Victor: See you then.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Brad: Gentlemen, right on time.", "Will: Mr. Carlton.", "Brad: Come on in.", "Will: Hello.", "Victoria: Hello, Mr. Bardwell.", "Brad: So what do you need, a few strands of my hair, blood sample?", "Will: A cheek swab will do.", "Brad: Cheek swab?

Is this about Carmen's earring?", "Michael: Devon's DNA was on it.", "Dru: Get out of town!", "Neil: Oh, no.", "Dru: Come on.", "Devon: That's impossible.", "Michael: The test was run more than once with the same result.", "Devon: This is ridiculous.", "Michael: Well, unfortunately for our case, it's scientific fact. Now, uh, I'm not accusing you, Devon, but is there anything you haven't told me, anything that you've overlooked?", "Devon: No, no.", "Michael: You sure?", "Devon: I'm very sure.", "Michael: All right. Uh, there is also good news. Someone else's DNA was found, too. I don't know who it is, but we're working on it.", "Devon: Well, work harder!", "Neil: Hey, Devon, come on.", "Devon: Okay? No, like the cops don't have enough evidence against me already, and now this? You know something, Michael? You better find out what the story is and fast.", "Dru: Yeah.", "Devon: Or else I'm going down for Carmen Mesta's murder.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Colleen: What--what does this say?", "Korbel: Where?", "Colleen: Right here.", "Korbel: \"Masaccio.\"", "Colleen: Oh, okay. (Laughs) I see it now.", "Korbel: Pop quiz. What do Masaccio and Donatello have in common?", "Colleen: 3-dimensional realism.", "Korbel: Always on your game.

It's just, I don't need them.", "Korbel: Well, what about your paper?", "Colleen: I'm not writing my paper.", "Korbel: You gonna change your topic?", "Colleen: No, I'm dropping your class.", "Korbel: What?", "Colleen: I have to. It's better this way.", "Korbel: When did you reach this decision?", "Colleen: Right now. But I've--I've been thinking about it.", "Korbel: I see.", "Colleen: I'll help you find another research assistant. I will. There's plenty of other students I can recommend that would do--", "Korbel: I don't want another research assistant. I like the one I have.", "Colleen: No, please, come on.", "Korbel: You can't drop my class, Colleen.", "Colleen: Because why?", "Korbel: The deadline has long passed. You withdraw this late in the semester, you'll receive a failing grade. That'll stay on your transcript.", "Colleen: Seriously?", "Korbel: Mm-hmm. I guess you're gonna have to make the best of it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: Okay, Michael, um, worst-case scenario-- say we never find anyone else's DNA on Carmen's earring. What then?", "Devon: Then it's over.", "Dru: Devon...", "Michael: It's not over.", "Devon: How's it gonna look to a jury? They already have my DNA underneath her fingernails, and now they have it on her earring.", "Michael: The DNA from your hand got under her fingernail when you both grabbed for her cell phone in the elevator.", "Dru: Yeah, Baby, you were talking.", "Michael: As for the saliva on her earring--", "Neil: Hold up a minute, Michael. That's what it was, saliva?", "Michael: Yes, and it's easily explained. We'll say you were upset. You were yelling at Carmen in the elevator.", "Dru: You were talking loud, Sweetie. It's no biggie.", "Michael: Either way, you were in close quarters. You were yelling. Some of your DNA matter went flying, landed on her earring.", "Devon: And who's gonna buy that?", "Dru: A lot of people!", "Michael: Look, I can get any number of experts. My job is to defend you. Your job is to tell me everything I need to know.", "Devon: I'm gonna tell you one last time, I did not kill Carmen Mesta. Okay, I swear it.", "Dru: We believe you, we believe you.", "Neil: Son, Son, come on, we believe you.", "Devon: No, I know you believe me. Does my attorney believe me, though?", "Michael: Yeah, I believe you.", "Neil: Okay, so, um, let's go back to the unidentified DNA what do we do about that?", "Michael: I'm already working on it. I asked William Bardwell to take samples from Jack, Brad, also Kevin Fisher.", "Neil: Kevin? Because his fingerprints were on the tape?", "Michael: Yes, yes, the samples will be collected today.", "Dru: So is it possible that one of them actually killed Carmen?", "Michael: Our burden is to show that someone else other than Devon could have killed Carmen. If we can create that doubt, the rest is up to me.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Oh, boy, is it chilly out there.", "Jack: Yeah, the cold I don't mind, as long as there are no storms in the forecast.", "Nikki: Well, I think we have had enough bad weather for a while.", "Jack: Yeah, it made for a memorable holiday season, huh?", "Nikki: Listen, I want to thank you again. If you hadn't of been with Phyllis when she went into labor, there's no telling what could have happened.", "Jack: I'm glad I could help.", "Nikki: Your father would have been very proud. It must have been difficult going through Christmas without him.", "Jack: Well, this wouldn't have been in my top five. But you know what? Next year will be better. Couldn't get much worse, could it?", "Nikki: You wouldn't think so.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: How about that, hmm? Michael Baldwin is gonna come over and tell me all about Brad Carlton, whatever his name is.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Brad: All right, well, I'm gonna make some scrambled eggs. Anybody, uh, want some? Takers, Mom?", "Rebecca: I couldn't possibly eat.", "Brad: Honey? No? All right. Well, I'll be in the kitchen.", "Victoria: Brad, would you please just stop?", "Brad: What?", "Victoria: Stop pretending like what just happened isn't serious when it is.", "Brad: But, Honey, listen, it was a DNA sample. I had nothing to do with Carmen's death, so I have nothing to worry about.", "Victoria: Maybe not right now, but what about the future? They have your fingerprints. They have security video footage. Now they have your DNA.", "Brad: I understand that.", "Victoria: So then why aren't you freaking out?", "Brad: Because there's no point. What's done is done. There's no going back. I'm not going to live my life in fear. I think I've done enough of that.", "Rebecca: True.", "Victoria: I'm just saying, what if--", "Brad: Victoria--", "Victoria: What if? What if the police find those bodies in Cleveland?", "Brad: They won't.", "Victoria: How do you know?", "Brad: Because I made sure of it. Now trust me, both of you, none of that's ever going to come out.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: So tell me, have you been doing any digging into Brad's past?", "J.T.: You mean without telling you? No, of course not.", "Paul: Well, huh.", "J.T.: Not the answer you're looking for?", "Paul: No, uh, I was hoping you had been.", "J.T.: Wait, you lost me.", "Paul: I got a call from Kara. Someone's doing some snooping out there.", "J.T.: In Cleveland?", "Paul: Yeah.", "J.T.: Who?", "Paul: I have no idea.", "J.T.: Does Brad know?", "Paul: No, I haven't told him about it yet.", "J.T.: You think you should tell him?", "Paul: Yeah.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Cell phone rings)", "Brad: Hello?", "Paul: Brad, its Paul. Where are you?", "Brad: Home.", "Paul: Can you talk?", "Brad: What's wrong?", "Paul: I got a call this morning from my contact in Cleveland. Someone's been asking a lot of questions about you and your family.", "Brad: What kinds of questions?", "Paul: Well, I'm not sure. They've been looking into a lot of official documents, anything with the name \"Carlton\" on them.", "Brad: Well, that's not good.", "Paul: I talked to J.T. he doesn't know anything about it. I just thought you should know.", "Brad: Well, I appreciate you keeping me up to date.", "Paul: I'll try and find out what's going on. I want to keep this thing buried as much as you do.", "Brad: We have a problem.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Colleen: Well?", "Korbel: I just spoke with the registrar directly. No exceptions this late in the semester.", "Colleen: Great. So I'm stuck?", "Korbel: Well, I wouldn't say that.", "Colleen: I don't want an \"F\" on my transcript.", "Korbel: I don't blame you.", "Colleen: But how can I possibly stay in your class? It would never work.", "Korbel: Says whom? Colleen, look, I would never let anything interfere with our relationship in class. You are my favorite student. You are intelligent, inquisitive and your organizational skills are far superior to mine. I mean, you are invaluable to me. I-I say that to you as your professor.", "Colleen: So you really think that this could work?", "Korbel: We'll make it work.", "Colleen: Okay, well, if you're okay with it, then I guess I can be, too.", "Korbel: And to prove to you how easy it's gonna be for us to work together, let's get back to my, uh, chicken scratches, okay?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dru: Hey, Devon, can I get you something? How about some-- how about some pancakes?", "Devon: No, no, I'm okay.", "Dru: Yeah?", "Devon: Thank you.", "Dru: All right.", "Devon: Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm gonna go lie down for a little bit in my room.", "Neil: No, no, you're not. Come here a minute.", "Devon: What, Neil?", "Neil: Just humor me, all right? Sit down over there. Hey, Dru.", "Dru: Yeah?", "Neil: Wait a minute. Come here, sit down, please.", "Dru: What are we doing?", "Neil: Just--just sit down. It's called taking matters into our own hands, starting right now.", "Devon: I don't get it.", "Dru: Yeah.", "Neil: Michael's a great attorney, but there's only so much that he can do. We can't depend on other people to clear your name, so we're gonna have to do it ourselves.", "Devon: Okay. How are we gonna do that?", "Neil: I'm not too sure. We're gonna have to start somewhere. Okay, listen, Son, I want you to think back and tell me everything that you can remember about the day that Carmen was murdered.", "Devon: I've gone over everything.", "Neil: I know, I know. We've gone over this a thousand times already, but just let's pretend like I don't know anything. Uh, start from the moment that you woke up. I want you to tell me where you went, who you talked to, who you saw, who saw you, all right? Don't leave anything out. Let's go.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Here you go.", "Nikki: Thank you. I was just going over Phyllis' project list—", "(Knock on door)", "Jack: Oh, I'm sorry. Hold that thought. I'll be right back.", "Will: Hello, Mr. Abbott.", "Jack: Mr. Bardwell.", "Will: Have we, uh, come at a bad time?", "Jack: If I said yes, would it matter?", "Will: Not really.", "Jack: I didn't think so.", "Jack: Nikki, I believe you know--", "Nikki: Yes, District Attorney Bardwell.", "Will: Hello again, Mrs. Newman. Um, this gentleman's name is Terrence. He'll be taking care of things this morning.", "Nikki: Um, do you want me to leave?", "Jack: No, no, this shouldn't take too long. Am I right, William?", "Will: No, as long as you're cooperative.", "Jack: The police need a sample of my DNA it seems my fingerprints were on a piece of evidence in Carmen Mesta's murder. I've explained to the D.A. why my fingerprints were there, but it appears to have been wasted breath on my part.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "J.T.: So what are you thinking?", "Paul: I was just wondering if whoever is looking into Brad's past might somehow be connected to Carmen's murder.", "J.T.: Yeah, that crossed my mind, too.", "Paul: I wish I knew what was going on with the investigation.", "J.T.: You could try talking to Michael.", "Paul: Oh, yeah, right. Like he's gonna tell us anything.", "J.T.: Is he still mad at us for bailing on him?", "Paul: (Chuckles) you think?", "J.T.: Well, maybe someday you can tell him the real reason why you did it.", "Paul: I gotta figure out some way to find out what Baldwin knows.", "J.T.: Why don't you try talking to Lauren?", "Paul: I was gonna call her anyway and find out how she's doing. Maybe I'll just bring it up.", "(Telephone ringing)", "Lauren: Hello?", "Paul: Hey, there. How's it going?", "Lauren: Well, hello there, Stranger. How are you?", "Paul: Well, you know what? I was just sitting here at the coffeehouse, and I was thinking, uh, it might be pretty nice to have Lauren Fenmore sitting across from me.", "Lauren: Now?", "Paul: Yeah, if you're free.", "Lauren: Uh, you know, I-I don't think so. It's so cold, I don't want to take Fen out.", "Paul: Well, then I'll bring the coffee to you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: Who do you think is snooping around in your past?", "Brad: I don't know. Maybe your father.", "Rebecca: Because of all the questions he's been asking?", "Brad: Yeah, that story you made up about my brother who died in the car crash.", "Victoria: My dad didn't even question it.", "Rebecca: Yeah, maybe not out loud.", "Victoria: Okay, so it wasn't a good excuse, but you know what? There's nothing we can do about it now.", "Brad: No, there isn't. It won't take long for your father to figure out I never had a brother. Then what?", "Victoria: You're speculating, Brad.", "Brad: For good reason.", "Victoria: All right, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for trying to help you out of jam. I guess I'm just not as good at fabricating as the two of you are.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: All right, let me hear it.", "Michael: Well, Brad never had a brother.", "Victor: As I suspected.", "Michael: You said you got this information from Victoria?", "Victor: So either he lied to me, or Victoria lied to me.", "Michael: Well...", "Victor: I want you to stay on this.", "Michael: Victor--", "Victor: I don't give a damn how hard you're working on the murder investigation right now. I want you to start paying attention to this. I need to find out what Brad Carlton is hiding.", "Michael: What would you like me to do?", "Victor: I want you to follow them, get their fingerprints. Get everything you can on the mother, as well. You got that?", "Michael: If that's what you want.", "Victor: And listen, no one knows that you're doing this for me, no one.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Korbel: See? It wasn't so hard for us to be together.", "Colleen: Absolutely.", "Korbel: Well, I-- I guess I should go.", "Colleen: Um, I'll get you those names.", "Korbel: What names?", "Colleen: The research assistants.", "Korbel: Uh, I thought you said you weren't quitting.", "Colleen: No, no, no, no, no, we agreed that I wouldn't drop your class, but I still can't be your assistant.", "Korbel: Well, all right. I'm gonna hate to lose you, but if it's what you want...", "Colleen: It's just, things are gonna get really busy for me. I've got finals coming up. I have-- I'm taking a very heavy course load next semester. I have my job.", "Korbel: I got it, I got it. You're gonna be tough to replace.", "Colleen: I'm sure you'll find someone.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: There you go. Thanks.", "J.T.: You heading to Lauren's?", "Paul: Yeah. I really doubt she'll be able to tell me anything.", "J.T.: Well, it's worth a shot.", "Paul: Yeah, a double shot.", "J.T.: I'll talk to Colleen and see if Lily said anything about Devon's case.", "Paul: Yeah, you do-- is that...", "J.T.: On second thought, maybe I should stick around awhile.", "Paul: Yeah, maybe you should. Let me know.", "J.T.: Yeah.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Will: You got any questions?", "Kevin: No, I've been advised not to say anything.", "Will: (Chuckles) why am I not surprised?", "Kevin: You know, I have to tell you, you're wasting your time and the taxpayers' money.", "Will: Well, I prefer to think of it as being thorough.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: Okay, and after that?", "Devon: I came home.", "Neil: You came home. You sure you didn't stop anywhere to grab a bite to eat?", "Devon: I came straight home, Neil.", "Neil: Straight home. Okay, um, let's go over this one more time from the beginning.", "Devon: What is the point of going over it from the beginning? I have told you guys every single thing I can remember.", "Dru: Neil, let's just take a break.", "Neil: No, grab your coats.", "Dru: Where are we going?", "Neil: I'll explain in the car. Devon, you, too.", "Dru: What?", "Neil: Come on, let's go.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: I know you're angry with me.", "Brad: I'm not angry, Victoria, I'm not. But in the future, we need to be more careful. All of us do.", "Rebecca: What now, George?", "Brad: Well, first of all, we have to figure out if Victor is the one I should be worried about.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: I have to tell you it is very, very disturbing. My daughter and I were always very close, and now she's lying to me because of this damn Brad Carlton.", "Michael: To protect him.", "Victor: Maybe she feels she needs protection from him. I want you to watch her, too.", "Michael: All right, Victor, you're asking me to track your own--", "Victor: I want my daughter followed.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Will: Thank you for your time, Mr. Fisher.", "Kevin: Yep, always a pleasure.", "J.T.: So the cops think you did it, huh?", "Kevin: Did what?", "J.T.: Well, they're here about Carmen Mesta, right, investigating her murder? I'm just asking. Why else would they want a DNA sample?", "Kevin: Why don't you go ask them?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Korbel: (Sighs) well, I've enjoyed working with you, and I will miss having you as my research assistant.", "Colleen: Me, too. See you in class.", "Korbel: Yes. Yes, you will.", "Korbel: Uh...", "Colleen: Here.", "Korbel: Good for you, keeping things professional.", "Korbel: Good-bye.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: (Giggles)", "Paul: Oh, my gosh! He's gotten big.", "Lauren: I know, I know. Time goes so fast.", "Paul: Oh, wow.", "Lauren: And he's gonna be crawling and walking and, you know, then there's college.", "Paul: Oh, I think you've got a little time before that happens.", "Lauren: You think?", "Paul: How's your coffee?", "Lauren: It is so good. I haven't had coffee from Crimson Lights in... I don't even know.", "Paul: You know, every so often, you should get that little guy out and show him off.", "Lauren: So how have you been?", "Paul: I've been well. Things are a little less crazy now that, uh, I'm not working on Devon's case.", "Lauren: Right, Michael told me that you quit.", "Paul: Yeah. Did he tell you why?", "Lauren: No, 'cause we don't talk about his cases.", "Paul: Sure, you know, that--that makes sense.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: Okay, um, this is where Carmen's earring was found, right here in Brad Carlton's parking space.", "Dru: Oh.", "Neil: You know, there could be something else lying around here.", "Dru: Right.", "Devon: Something that the cops didn't find?", "Neil: Well, I know it's a long shot. Hey, man, when was the last time you were on this level?", "Devon: I don't know. I can't remember. It had to be when I drove in with you. Otherwise, they wouldn't let me in here. I'd have to park in the other lot where everyone else in the mailroom parks.", "Neil: Right, right, right. Were you, uh, in the parking garage at all on the day Carmen was murdered?", "Devon: No.", "Neil: Um, were you ever here with Carmen?", "Devon: No.", "Neil: Did you ever help her out to her car, anything like that?", "Devon: Why would I help her to her car?", "Neil: I don't know, Son. I'm just asking. That's all.", "Devon: Listen, Guys, I really wish that I could remember something, something that could give us all the answers, okay? But I can't.", "Dru: Its okay, Honey. It's okay, all right? It's all right.", "Neil: Yeah, yeah, no, it's fine. All right, come on, y'all. Let's go. Let's go.", "Dru: Let's go.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Holiday sales figures continue to come in like that, we are going to far exceed any expectations.", "Nikki: Hmm, well, that's a heck of a way to start a new year.", "Jack: Nikki, I'm telling you, I have a very good feeling about '07.", "Nikki: Are you predicting a good year for N.V.P.?", "Jack: I am predicting a good year, period.", "Nikki: Well, before I forget, there's something I want to talk to you about. Victor and I want to show our appreciation, not just for the terrific work you're doing at N.V.P., but for quite possibly saving our granddaughter's life.", "Jack: Yeah, I need no special thanks.", "Nikki: Will you stop and just look at this, please?", "Jack: What's this?", "Nikki: Just read it.", "Jack: This is addressed to Genoa City University.", "Nikki: Victor and I endowed a scholarship at the business school in your father's name. Every year a student will be selected who shares the same qualities as John Abbott-- honesty, fairness, compassion towards others-- all of the qualities that I know you value.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Great. I'll see you then. Thank you. All right, we're good to go. I set up a meeting with a very experienced, very discreet team of operatives. I'll fill them in on the situation, and, uh, they'll take care of the rest.", "Victor: You're sure they can be trusted?", "Michael: I've worked with them before. Besides Paul, they're the best.", "Victor: All right, thank you.", "Michael: They'll need fingerprints. Brad and Victoria's should be gotten easily from the office, but Rebecca's could be difficult.", "Victor: Nikki and I will have her over for tea. How's that?", "Michael: It's perfect.", "Victor: All right.", "Michael: If that's everything...", "Victor: For now.", "Michael: All right, um... I'll be in touch, Victor.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Brad: Part of me hopes your father is having me investigated.", "Victoria: Why?", "Brad: Because then at least we'll know who we're dealing with.", "Victoria: You do realize that if my father is behind this, he's not gonna stop until he knows everything that there is to know.", "Brad: Then maybe we need to get him to call off the investigation.", "Victoria: And how are we gonna do that?", "Brad: The only way we can, by telling him the truth.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: I can't believe the baby's still sleeping.", "Paul: Wow.", "Lauren: It must be my lucky day.", "Paul: Hey, if you're busy, I can go.", "Lauren: No, don't be silly. I always enjoy catching up with you. Sit down. So what were we talking about?", "Paul: Well, let's see. What were we talking about? Devon and, uh, Michael and me.", "Lauren: Oh, right. You were gonna tell me why you quit the Winters' case.", "Paul: Well, uh, it was really a conflict of interest. I worked around it as much as I could, but, uh, it just got to a point where I couldn't do it anymore.", "Lauren: Well, you're a very honorable man, so I'm sure you made the right decision.", "Paul: I hope so. You know, um, just out of curiosity, has Michael mentioned anything about, uh, Brad's connection with the case?", "Lauren: Brad?", "Michael: I'm home!", "Lauren: Well, hi.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Well, I didn't expect to see the three of you this morning.", "Brad: Sorry we didn't call first, Victor.", "Victor: That's all right.

There we go.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dru: You know, Baby. I'm sorry, but it was a daggone good idea going to the garage.", "Neil: Yeah?", "Dru: Uh-huh.", "Neil: Then why'd we strike out?", "Dru: We didn't strike out. We did not strike out. We just have to hope and pray that Michael's able to convince the jury to vote for an acquittal, that's all.", "Neil: What if he doesn't? The case against Devon grows stronger every day. Michael's no magician. He's a great attorney, okay? Hey, I--", "Dru: Hey, Babe.", "Devon: Hey.", "Neil: Hey, there he is. Your mom and I were just talking about you, man. Um, hey, how would you like something hot from the bakery on the corner?", "Devon: Yeah, yeah, sure. Sounds good.", "Neil: Okay, walk down with me.", "Devon: No, I'm gonna hang out here while you get it.", "Dru: Okay.", "Devon: Thanks.", "Dru: That's all right.", "Neil: All right, fine. Suit yourself. I'll be right back.", "Dru: All right, Babe. Hey, where's my kiss?", "Neil: Mmm.", "Devon: Thanks.", "Dru: Okay.", "Devon: When--when I, uh, just went down to your car...", "Dru: Uh-huh.", "Devon: To get my wallet...", "Dru: Right.", "Devon: It had slipped underneath the seat and I-I found this.", "Dru: A parking stub, yeah?", "Devon: Yeah, it's a parking stub. It's from the, uh, garage at Newman. And if you look at the date, it says \"October 26th, 5:35 P.M.,\" Which is right around the time Carmen was killed.", "Devon: Why do you have this?", "Dru: I can explain.", "Devon: Were you at Newman the night Carmen was killed?", "Dru: No.", "Devon: No?", "Dru: I mean, yeah. Not really--see, not really.", "Devon: \"Not really\"? Which one is it?", "Dru: Okay, you know, when Neil went to the drycleaners that day, I got in my car quick in a hurry, and I went over to Newman to try to-- to try to convince Carmen not to go through with the trial, but I was in such a mad rush, you see, I forgot my parking pass, so I got a tick--what?", "Devon: Wait a minute. You saw Carmen? Did you see Carmen that night?", "Dru: No, no, no, I did not see Carmen. You see, I came to my senses. I realized how crazy it would be to try to see her. It would make matters worse, so I got back in my boat. I turned it around. I did not get out of my car. I did not see that woman.", "Devon: Did anybody see you?", "Dru: No. Guard was not there. It was wide open.", "Devon: Why didn't you tell the cops?", "Dru: How am I telling the cops, okay? They'd want to ask me a bunch of questions. It would only make matters worse. Now that we have this, Baby, let's just turn it over to Michael. He can turn it over to the police, and then we can start working on your defense.", "Devon: Well, hang on a second. You want Michael to make it seem like you murdered Carmen?", "Dru: Didn't you hear what he said? We have to create doubt, Baby. This could be the answer to everything. What?", "Devon: No! Hell, no! I am not gonna let Michael clear my name by making you look guilty.", "Dru: Forget about me, Baby! I'm talking about helping you out!", "Devon: Forget about you? Even if it means you're charged with murder?", "Dru: Yes, even if it means I'm charged with murder. Yes, I will do it.

I was at the coffeehouse earlier, and the police showed up and took a DNA sample from Kevin.", "Colleen: No way.", "J.T.: Yeah.", "Colleen: They think he killed Carmen?", "J.T.: Well, I guess he's a suspect now.", "Colleen: Oh, he totally could be the killer.", "J.T.: Why? Did he and Carmen know each other?", "Colleen: She probably walked into the coffeehouse, and he thought she was hot, started putting the moves on her. Gross, right? So she turned him down, which she would, and his ego couldn't take it, so he probably whacked her.", "J.T.: Boy, you've got it all figured out, don't you?", "Colleen: I know how Kevin's twisted mind works. Wouldn't it be sweet if he ended up in jail after all this time?", "J.T.: Yeah, that would be sweet.", "Colleen: I quit working for Korbel.", "J.T.: When?", "Colleen: He was here earlier dropping off some notes. I told him I couldn't be his research assistant.", "J.T.: Because he's a jerk?", "Colleen: No, because it just turned out to be more than I expected. Work, a lot of work.", "J.T.: Oh, yeah.", "Colleen: I have a big course load next semester and...", "J.T.: Well, I can't say I'm disappointed.", "Colleen: I didn't think you would be.", "J.T.: Well, maybe that means we can work on things, you know?

He came over here because he feels badly about what happened between the two of you. We were just talking about Devon's case.", "Michael: Wait a minute. You discussed the case with my wife?", "Paul: I just asked her--", "Michael: Oh, never mind. I don't even need to hear it. I want you out of here now.", "Paul: Michael, hold--", "Michael: I said get out!", "Paul: Okay. See you.", "Lauren: Uh...", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: So... what brings you by?", "Victoria: We, uh... we know you've had some questions about Brad's family, but there's something that you need to know, something that we haven't told you.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Victor: So far, everything I've heard has been a lie.", "Jack: I do the dirty work and get Dad's company back, you benefit and take the moral high ground?", "Ashley: And you lie as easily as people breathe.", "Neil: You really don't think that your mother killed Carmen?" ]

He wants me to start my own investigation to prove that Jack is setting him up.", "Maggie: Well, that's typical Victor Newman, isn't it? Maneuvering for his gain, no matter what's right.", "Paul: Well, yeah. I-I'm not so sure if that's the case.", "Maggie: What does that mean?", "Paul: Well, Victor Newman is capable of a lot of things, some of them very bad.

You know, Sharon's probably as confused about things as you are. That doesn't mean she's gonna write you off.", "Jack: I've made a lot of mistakes, Nick. I accept that. I think back on all the things I've achieved and the way I achieved them, and I still say most of what I did was justified, but... it doesn't mean anything if it's gonna cost me everything I care about.", "Nick: Well, I know Sharon. She doesn't deserve it. Neither does Noah. I mean, they've both been through so much. And I have caused them so much pain. And I know you certainly don't wanna see them hurt anymore.", "Jack: That is the last thing in the world I want, is to cause them pain-- it never has been. I don't know how to make it up to her. To them.", "Nick: Well, maybe you can't right now.", "Jack: What are you saying? I just sit back, do nothing, and let her slip away?", "Nick: I guess I'm saying you should give her some space. Don't back her into a corner. She's just gonna look for a way to run.", "Jack: What if she already has?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: So... I feel like I'm just-- I'm stuck. I mean, I-- no matter what I do I lose. If I stay with Jack, then I continue to put up with the wondering and-- and just the--the lies, but if I--if I leave him, then I'm facing another failed marriage. And--and that's not good for Noah. I mean, he's been through so much.", "Brad: Let's talk it through.", "Sharon: Okay, well... I knew what kind of man Jack was when I met him. I mean, I knew about his drive and his ambition. And those were a lot of the things that attracted me to him. But I didn't know that he could go this far.", "Brad: Well, I don't have to tell you that he's the kind of guy who will go as far as he has to.", "Sharon: But people can change. Right? I mean, I have to believe that I have changed over the years.", "Brad: Well, some people do. But it takes a lot of work and a lot of trust. Tell me, what do you want, Sharon? What do you want for you?", "Sharon: I want... to be happy. I want... someone I can rely on.", "Brad: Okay, so?", "Sharon: I want someone who Noah can rely on.", "Brad: Sharon, Noah's going to be fine. Kids are resilient. And he is a smart, strong boy. He'll understand that his mother couldn't stay in a marriage where there was no love left. No trust. The best thing for Noah is to have a mother who's happy. You serve Noah best by doing what's right for you. By putting off the inevitable, things will only get harder.", "Sharon: Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I, um... I have to do this. I-I have to end my marriage. I have to do it now.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Yes?", "Man: Victor Newman?", "Victor: That's who I am, yes.", "Man: This is for you.", "Victor: What the hell is this?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Noah: Ugh! This doesn't fit right!", "Jack: Wait, wait, wait, hey, slow down, slow down. Remember what we said at the beginning? This isn't gonna be easy. Nothing important ever is easy.

Okay, I'll try again.", "Jack: That's my boy.", "Noah: Mom?", "Sharon: I'll be right back.", "Noah: Something's wrong, isn't it?", "Jack: Uh, no, everything's-- everything's fine. We'll, uh, we'll give your mom a couple seconds, and then we'll show her the great work you're doing, okay?", "Noah: Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: Listen. Do you hear that?", "Nick: I don't hear anything.", "Phyllis: Exactly. That's my point. There's nobody here. Summer is tucked away in her bed.

Would you excuse me? Thank you.", "Paul: So, um... you have any plans for New Year's Eve?", "Heather: Uh, yeah. I, um... I do, actually. But thank you very much.", "Paul: I know this is a lot to handle. And I don't mean to impose. But I think if you get to know me, in time, maybe you'll understand why I did what I did.", "Heather: You know, I just, I can't erase all the anger that I still have.

It's all right. I'm trying to figure out where I know you. Did you take me to that party with those U2 guys?", "Michael: All right, knock it off.

Well, maybe there's something over here that she would like. Excuse me. I need to take care of something.", "Michael: That's not Lauren.", "Paul: After we divorced, she never met the right guy. So now all she has to live for is work.", "Michael: Maybe she's just tired? It's a rough economy. The end of a long shift?", "Paul: No, you didn't know her back then like I did.", "Michael: She could not have been that brutal.", "Paul: See for yourself.", "Lauren: She's busy. Call back later, or better idea, not at all. You just missed your sister.", "Traci: Oh. That's too bad. I was hoping I was gonna catch up with Ashley here.

You're worse off than I thought. Have a merry Christmas.", "Lauren: Have you decided?", "Michael: Yes. Uh, no. I would like to speak with you.", "Lauren: Well, I'm sorry to say that we're closing the store right now.", "Michael: I've been watching you, Lauren, and the way you treat people-- it's appalling.", "Lauren: Excuse me! I don't know who you think you are--", "Michael: Someone who knows you're better than this, and you know it, too. You are--you're so wonderful and warm and loving. Don't put up these walls.

I've already found her.", "Jack: Merry Christmas.", "Michael: Same to you. This I gotta see.", "Jack: Well, you look cozy.", "Gloria: Oh! Merry Christmas. I thought you would've left by now.", "Jack: Actually, I was wrapping up a few things downstairs, but I'm headed home now.", "Gloria: Ah.", "Jack: Oh, by the by, Ashley and I had a little gathering here earlier of a few of our top execs. Someone spilled some red wine on the rug. That'll have to be cleaned up A.S.A.P.", "Gloria: I will, uh, get right on that.", "Jack: I'm sure you'll do a swell job. Oh, one more thing.

That no-good son of a bitch! How dare he--", "Paul: Michael! There's someone who needs you more.", "Michael: What is this? What is this? Some kind of payback for all the times I pissed you off? What?!", "Paul: This has nothing to do with what you're seeing. This is the world without Michael Baldwin.", "Michael: Explain.", "Paul: Gloria was arrested for contaminating the face cream. You weren't around to defend her. The D.A. went after her viciously. She spent a few months in jail and got out for good behavior. Meanwhile, Jabot hit her with a massive civil suit.

Is Jack still here?", "Gloria: No. Mr. Abbott's left for the day, but, uh, you can leave a message for him, if you like. There's a pad--", "Michael: No, no, no. It can wait. Must be rough, working on Christmas Eve.", "Gloria: Well...", "Michael: Hey, let me help you with that stain.", "Gloria: Oh! No, Sir, I couldn't let you do that.", "Michael: No, no, obviously, you're having trouble with your back. It'll only take a second. Please. Allow me.", "Gloria: That's very kind of you.", "Michael: It's my pleasure.", "Gloria: Oh! I doubt that's true.", "Michael: (Chuckles)", "Gloria: Handsome young man like you, no wedding ring?", "Michael: Huh?", "Gloria: All alone, too? Like me.", "Michael: So, um, you don't have any family?", "Gloria: No.", "Michael: Really? There's nobody?", "Gloria: I have a son. But we don't see each other much. You know, thank you very much for your help. I am feeling better. Thank you.", "Michael: Wait, your son? I'd like to hear more about him. Where is he now?", "Gloria: I don't wanna talk about it.", "Michael: Why?", "Gloria: 'Cause I can't. Now please... I have to get back to work. All this has to be taken care of in the morning. I could lose this job.", "Paul: It's time to go, Michael.", "Michael: Take care of yourself.", "Michael: I need to see my brother. I need to know that he's okay. Kevin? Kevin? Kevin? It's Michael.", "Kevin: Are you the new doctor?", "Michael: I'm someone you can talk to. Since I am new, why don't you tell me how you wound up here.", "Kevin: What do you wanna know? People don't understand me and they never have.", "Michael: What people? Who are you talking about?", "Kevin: Women. They never should've hurt me.", "Michael: How did you handle it?", "Kevin: What do you mean?", "Michael: Did you wanna hurt 'em back?", "Kevin: What, like, did I kill them?", "Michael: Did you?", "Kevin: No.", "Michael: Well, did anyone else disappoint you?", "Kevin: Lauren Fenmore. She... she led me on. She let me believe that I meant something to her. I didn't. And after her, that was the first time.", "Michael: You tried to kill yourself.", "Kevin: Mm-hmm.", "Michael: How many times have you, uh...", "Kevin: After Jana. Jana told me that she loved me. She's the only person that ever said that to me. But she used me. I was not about to let her get away with that.", "Michael: What did you do?", "Kevin: I told her that I loved her, that I forgave her. She came scurrying back and I knocked her out cold, right? So she comes to, I am staring down the barrel of the gun. And the frickin' thing jams! I'm ready to go out all Romeo and Juliet-style and the gun jams! That's when the police showed up.", "Michael: Well, thank God they did.", "Kevin: God... has nothing to do with me.", "Michael: Well... there must be someone who looks out for you, someone on the outside?", "Kevin: My own mother doesn't even look out for me.", "Michael: I know about your father.", "Kevin: No, we're not gonna talk about him. I don't even want you saying his name!", "Michael: Fine, fine, fine, we don't have to discuss him.", "Kevin: Why did you do that?! Why did you even bring him up? You--you pretend like you care, but you don't.", "Michael: I care about you! I care about you more than you can ever possibly imagine!", "Kevin: Stop lying to me! I'm so sick of people lying to me!", "Michael: I'm not lying. I would do whatever I could to help you!", "Kevin: Well, then prove it.", "Michael: How?", "Kevin: Get me what I need.", "Michael: No. I cannot do that.", "Kevin: Please? Please, can you help me end it? Help me end the nightmares and --and the memories. Doc, I... I wake up and I can't breathe. I-I just--I just want it to be over. Please?", "Michael: No. Never.", "Kevin: You're just like the rest of them. You just wanna keep me alive so you can punish me again and again and again.", "Michael: Kevin, listen to me. There is good in everyone, including you. Your life can be better than this if you tried. Kevin, you heard what I said?", "Kevin: Some people shouldn't bother to try. Some people would've been better off if they never existed.", "Michael: Kevin? Please, talk to me now.", "Michael: I hate you for this!", "Paul: Don't blame the messenger. This is exactly what would've happened if you hadn't been around to support your brother.", "Michael: Just how did you get to be my guide in this vision quest or whatever the hell it is?!", "Paul: I was wondering when you were going to ask me that.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: What is this place?

And I am alone again. I'm sure you know that where you are. I sure-- I could use my best friend tonight. I know you never loved me like you loved your precious Christine, but I loved you that much.", "Michael: I can't do this anymore. It's too much.", "Paul: You put it into motion, Michael.

[ "Chelsea: [Gasps] Yes. Yes, and next year, you're gonna have so many yummy things to eat. Yes, you are. Instead of just gumming your fingers, huh.", "Adam: Listen to that. Mommy's already making plans for next year, you hear that? You haven't even taken your morning nap yet.", "Chelsea: [Chuckles]", "Adam: Yes. You know what? Speaking of next year, we should just get some cardboard boxes and some of this wrapping paper, because that seems to be a big hit with him. What is this?", "Chelsea: I guess I did kind of go overboard this year a little bit.", "Adam: Baby's first Christmas. We're kind of obligated to do so.", "Chelsea: [Chuckles]", "Adam: But, it's a law, isn't it?", "Chelsea: Mm-hmm.", "Adam: It's too bad he's not gonna remember today.", "Chelsea: We'll show him.", "Adam: What, you making more plans already?", "Chelsea: [Chuckles] You -- you have a lot of living to do, don't you?", "Adam: Yes.", "Chelsea: This whole family does. I know how we'll remember today. Ready?", "Adam: Oh.", "Chelsea: Okay.", "Adam: Big time, Mister.", "Chelsea: Okay.", "Adam: Okay, Peanut.", "Chelsea: Say \"Cheese,\" Baby.", "Adam: Look at mommy. Look at mommy.", "Chelsea: Cheese. [Chuckles]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: I think breakfast was delicious, don't you?", "Nikki: It was.", "Victor: Mm.", "Nikki: A little quiet, though. Christmas day -- I know all the kids he their ans.", "Victor: I miss that, though, you know. On the other hand, I didn't mind having my baby to myself for a while.", "Nikki: [Chuckles] You have me to yourself just about every day.", "Victor: Uh-huh.", "Nikki: But I am a little surprised that Abby took off with Tyler for the holidays. That's a bold move for a young couple, especially to Los Angeles.", "Victor: Mm-hmm.", "Nikki: And then Victoria had to stay with Billy. He's in no mood to celebrate, poor thing. Nicholas has his family.", "Victor: Hopefully he stays far away from Sharon.", "Nikki: Oh, you better put that thought right out of your head, cause you know both of them are with Faith this moment.", "Victor: Wait a minute. Then there are Noah and Summer. And I have a feeling they would love to see their grandparents. I certainly would love to see them.", "Nikki: Well, I'm sure they already have their plans. Is this a sign of Christmas to come? No kids.", "Victor: Come here.", "Nikki: I miss those little rosy cheeks and smiling faces.", "Victor: I know. I know. I know. I know.", "[Doorbell rings]", "Nikki: I'll get it. I'll get it.", "Victoria: Hi! Merry Christmas!", "Nikki: Hello! Merry Christmas! Oh, my goodness! Look who's here.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "[Knock on door]", "Billy: Oh, wow. [Sighs]", "Jack: I come bearing gifts, and there's more in the car.", "Billy: Yeah.", "Jack: Uh, where are Victoria and my little nephew?", "Billy: I'm sorry, Jack. Nobody's here.", "Jack: That's where you're wrong. You and I are here, little brother.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: Hi, Honey. I got your message. You know, I thought we were doing the holiday right now, not work. Remember Christmas? Peace, joy, happiness, and a couple of presents? Huh, huh, huh?", "Leslie: Oh, a tropical island with no internet or cell service? No need to put a bow on that. Just hand it over.", "Neil: Ha ha. Very funny. No, no, no. That's not the surprise. Although an island might be negotiable. So what do you say we get out of here and start negotiating?", "Leslie: Oh, I-I would love. I-I would, okay. And trust me, I've heard all the arguments from Avery why, today, work should be off limits, but honestly, this is too important.", "Neil: What could be more important than us ending Christmas together?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Avery: Dylan? Dylan?", "Dylan: [Sighs]", "Avery: No. It's Christmas, Dylan. And I have made dinner. I've made a feast, actually.", "Dylan: Apparently, bad plumbing doesn't care about Christmas. I'm not gonna cast blame, but I think the person who might be responsible for this whole thing is the Grinch.", "Avery: Maybe it's time to admit that you can't do everything and call a plumber.", "Dylan: I found one guy who's willing to come out on Christmas day, but he's all backed up, and I can't -- I can't leave. I have to wait for him. I'm sorry.", "Avery: Do you think one minor problem like this is gonna spoil our Christmas dinner? No. Dylan McAvoy, nothing is going to spoil our day. I promise you that.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: I wish you had brought your daddy. We'd love to see your daddy.", "Victoria: We had the most amazing morning. Daddy said \"Ho ho ho.\" We had breakfast. We opened presents.", "Nikki: Oh, that's wonderful.", "Victoria: Mm-hmm. And so now Johnny and I are just making the rounds. And I thought that maybe Billy could use some time to just be and not have to do anything but feel how he's feeling.", "Nikki: Well, Honey, that was very thoughtful of you. And we always love to see the handsome boy.", "Victor: We certainly do. Anyway, you're welcome to stay a day. Fist bump Grandpa.", "Victoria: Thank you, Daddy.", "Victor: [Chuckles]", "Nikki: There we go!", "Victoria: We can't really stay that long because we have some more stops to make to say Merry Christmas to people and drop off some more gifts.", "Nikki: You're still gonna be able to visit Reed, right?", "Victoria: I miss him so much. Billy's not actually up for a trip today. But I understand.", "Victor: You go, Sweetheart. You deserve to have both of your sons under one roof, okay?", "Victoria: Oh, Daddy, I can't wait to hug them both. Oh!", "Victor: You do that, Sweetheart, and if you need anything, just call your mother and me. We'll always be there for you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Billy: Thank you. Are you planning on chopping me up and using me as bait cause it's Christmas? Please hand me the ax. Thank you.", "Jack: Nope. We're going fishing, little brother.", "Billy: I'm sorry.", "Jack: Ice fishing.", "Billy: Ice what?", "Jack: Come on, it'll be a great distraction.", "Billy: Standing on a frozen lake or a hole, just hoping that a fish will jump out and greet us? Yeah. [Chuckles] I can think about a thousand different ways I'd rather be distracted. What do you know about fishing?", "Jack: Admittedly, very little. I was gonna talk to Murphy, you know. Go to an expert before we try out.", "Billy: I'm not an expert, but I'm confident you don't use an ax.", "Jack: You've got to chop a hole in the ice so you can drop the line in.", "Billy: [Laughs] Are you serious?! No, you don't! Who are you, Paul Bunyan?! You don't use an ax. You use a chainsaw or an auger. How is it possible that you've lived in Wisconsin this long and you've never been ice fishing?", "Jack: It just never seemed that interesting to me, until now. I just think it'd be great for the Abbott boys you know. Build us a shack and a portable heater and the lantern and beef jerky and beers.", "Billy: And more axes. I could just see you standing on that frozen lake, chopping away with an ax at the only thing keeping you falling in the frozen water. That would be a sight see.", "Jack: That mean you' not gonna go fishing with me?", "Billy: That's exactly what it means. There's no way I'm going fishing with you. [Chuckles] But I appreciate the sentiment, man. And I-I...it's just, uh... not the type of distraction that I need right now", "Jack: It actually wasn't just you I was thinking of. I could use a distraction.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Leslie: Your son was arrested. The charges, they're outrageous. I mean, clearly he's been the victim of fraud, and he's being victimized by the press. I mean, we can drink eggnog and we can do all that once he's cleared. Okay, this is my gift to you and your family. Please let me do this for you all today.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: So?", "Alex: So it's a holiday, so they tell me, so you have a family. Go be with them.", "Kevin: Yes, I have a family. But my brother, who just got out of jail, is spending some quality time with his wife and his son. You know, my nephew, the one who could be going back to prison. So kind of trumps Yule logs and carols for me, you know. Listen, Chavez, how strong is the case against Fen? What? You said I was one of the guys, part of the team, rah-rah. You can't tell me about the case against my nephew?", "Alex: No. You aren't you with Chloe?", "Kevin: I'm gonna be with her in a little while, thank you very much.", "Alex: Last week sucked. Getting her hopes up that we found the driver. I don't know about you, but I'm still very upset about that.", "Kevin: Her holding the scarf from the S.U.V. -- it was not good. But it also was not your fault.", "Alex: That doesn't matter.", "Kevin: We know that, and we are very grateful.", "Alex: It doesn't matter. I'm not losing hope, and neither should Chloe. I'm not about to end this year without solving the case.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: Hi!", "Chelsea: Hi!", "Chloe: Um, have those fabric samples you wanted.", "Chelsea: Oh, you didn't have to bring those over today. I mean, of all days.", "Chloe: Well, I also have these. An elf stopped by my place and left something for my favorite little rug rat.", "Chelsea: [Chuckles]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: See, Devon is home right now. He's not letting any of this mess with his holiday, is he? And neither should you. I appreciate you wanting to help. I really do. Tomorrow, this is all gonna be here. So let's put on your coat. Let's go home and have a wonderful evening. Come on.", "Leslie: I-I-I have another client who -- who's not home. He's -- he's been pending trial, and it just wouldn't be right if I didn't at least look through this file since I-- since I'm already here. Okay?", "Neil: No, it's not ok. What's going on? Why am I getting this feeling that you're trying to avoid being with me today?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: I feel bad that I'm leaving Billy, but I just need to see my sons. I need to have them both in one place.", "Nikki: Of course, you do. Billy understands that. Everyone does. Oh, that reminds me. I had some gifts delivered to J.T., but some of them were a little late. So would you mind?", "Victoria: No, I'll take them.", "Nikki: I'll be right back.", "Victoria: Thanks, Mom.", "Victor: Well, Sweetheart, come here. Come here. Hate to see you sad, okay? I have something for little Johnny that might cheer you up. There. Would you open it?", "Victoria: It's nice of you. Oh. Shares to Newman-Chancellor.", "Victor: Well, he's the first non-employee to have shares in the new corporate entity.", "Victoria: I'm sure that you'll have him behind a desk soon enough, Dad. Thank you. It was very generous of you. Thank you.", "Victor: My job is to make sure that my children and grandchildren are financially secure.", "Victoria: Even though John's not biologically related to you?", "Victor: He's always my grandson.", "Victoria: I know you love him, but I'm just trying to point out that you are capable of loving offspring that doesn't share your blood.", "Victor: Sweetheart, that's an entirely different story, all right?", "Victoria: You are so stubborn. You know that?", "Victor: It's a very different story. Johnny is an innocent child. Dylan McAvoy has caused nothing but harm to your brother.", "Victoria: That's not Dylan's fault.", "Victor: He will never be a member of this family, ever.", "Victoria: Hmm.", "Nikki: There's a few things in there for D.J., too.", "Victoria: Oh, thank you. Mom, that is so sweet of you to include him.", "Nikki: We, he is Reed's brother, so he's family.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Avery: Too much?", "Dylan: Uh... we had less food for my entire unit during my first tour in Afghanistan.", "Avery: Well, I made absolutely everything that I could think of. We've missed too many Christmases. There's a lot to make up for.", "Dylan: Just the two of us. That's all I need.", "[Knock on door]", "Dylan: One second. Uh, hey. Yeah, I'm sorry. We're closed, just like the sign says", "Henry: Oh. I saw the light on. I'm on my own, and nothing's open, so...", "Dylan: You know what? Come on in. Yeah, come on.", "Henry: I thought you said you were closed.", "Avery: Oh, it's just a small Christmas dinner. Have a seat.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: It's great. It is. Look, every little bit of cheer helps.", "Billy: Yeah. Not the same, though, is it? Not without Phyllis, huh?", "Jack: Phyllis is the very definition of \"Over the top.\" And, oh, the holidays are not the same without her. But you know what? I had a great breakfast with Mrs. Martinez, and we had a little extra food in case you and Victoria and Johnny dropped by.", "Billy: Yeah, thanks. Talked to Traci and Ash in New York. They're doing well. Mom stopped by.", "Jack: Boy, this has got to be a tough holiday for her. She lost Katherine and Delia. How's she doing?", "Billy: Oh, you know Mom. [Grunts] She's a tough broad. Tougher than me.", "Jack: And how about you? You okay?", "Billy: For me, \"Okay\" is relative. I got out of bed this morning. That's big stuff. I managed to get that miserable little tree over there. That's pretty big.", "Jack: Oh, come on, it's lovely.", "Billy: It's a twig, Jack.", "Jack: It's you reaching out to Victoria.", "Billy: Just like big brother ordered.", "Jack: No, big brother recommended it because he knows you need Victoria and she needs you, and you obviously agree, because you did it.", "Billy: I saw her, Jack.", "Jack: Victoria.", "Billy: I saw Delia. She was right there, standing by that tree. She was so close to me, I could touch her. Just smiling at me. She loved all this stuff, man. She should be here, Jack, but she's... the only thing I can give her now is justice. So I got to find that person who hurt her, Jack. You hear me? I got to find him. And as bad as it sounds, that's the only Christmas wish that I can even think of.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: What's better than an elephant? A dinosaur!", "Chelsea: Uh, okay, so these are fine, but they aren't gonna stand up to the stitching I want to do.", "Chloe: Okay, cool.", "Chelsea: Thank you.", "Chloe: Hi. Hi.", "Chelsea: Oh, my goodness. As if this baby isn't spoiled enough already.", "Chloe: Hey, come on. It's his first Christmas. It's supposed to be gigantic. And would you please let me just love on my best friend's kid? Oh, gosh. Whew! We, he has gas like a dinosaur.", "Chelsea: I think he needs a diaper change. Excuse me, little munchkin.", "Chloe: Oh! Gosh.", "Chelsea: Oh, I got you. Okay, we'll be right back.", "Chloe: Okay.", "Chelsea: Okay.", "Chloe: [Chuckles]", "Chelsea: I got you.", "Chloe: Chelsea did a great job on the place. Must be he has a designer's eye. And Connor, well, Connor did really good, too.", "Adam: Yeah. He did. You really didn't have to.", "Chloe: I-I wanted to. I needed to.", "Adam: I completely understand. He's got a mom and a dad, so he's okay.", "Chloe: [Scoffs] Wow. You really don't even know how to say \"Thank you,\" do you? I mean, from what I recall, I gave Connor the best gift ever. The gift of sight. And I didn't see you complaining then.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Whoa. I love those. Boots.", "Nikki: You know, we should go riding. It would be fresh air for me and time together for us.", "Victor: Why don't we break them in today? Are you up for it?", "Nikki: Oh, you just try to keep up with me.", "Victor: Oh, yeah. Right.", "Nikki: And once we've built up an appetite and come home, phase two of your Christmas gift, because chef is busy making Rock Cornish game hens.", "Victor: Oh, I love that. Come here.", "Nikki: Maybe not as good as Miguel's, but it'll be good.", "Victor: You know me only too well, my baby.", "Nikki: I love you more.", "Victor: Do you? And now I have something for you.", "Nikki: Oh? Hmm... well, now, let's see. Just a minute here.", "Victor: Uh-huh. [Gasps] Oh, my. Tahiti. Okay. We go from riding in the snow to riding in the sand. Do you like that? Hmm?", "Nikki: It's lovely. Very romantic. But it's very far away. Far away from Dylan.", "Victor: Oh, Sweetheart.", "Nikki: You really can't stand the idea of me getting to know my son.", "Victor: Baby, come here. I want to make you happy. Okay? So sand, sun, and ocean. What do you think?", "Nikki: I heard what you said to Victoria. You will never look at Dylan as my son. But -- but he is. There's nothing you can do about it. There's no amount of resistance that will change that fact.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dylan: You know, my dad always said whoever needed a meal was welcome at the table.", "Avery: Your dad was the best. Like you. And Henry won't be here all that long, and then we can have our dinner for two.", "[Knock on door]", "Dylan: [Sighs]", "Avery: I'll get the door.", "Dylan: I'll add a chair.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: Connor's ready for some more toy action. What, you're -- you're leaving? What did I miss?", "Adam: Just me and Chloe in for usual endearing scratchy dynamic.", "Chloe: Yeah, it's adorable.", "Chelsea: Chloe, you can stay.", "Chloe: It's just hard being at the house. No Katherine, no Delia. It's... it's weird. It's like a holiday that isn't. But here with your little guy, it's good. It puts the \"Merry\" in my otherwise...meh Christmas.", "Chelsea: You're family, Chloe. You're my best friend, and you will forever, forever, be in Connor's life. Any time you want to come over and get some Connor sunshine, you just come over. Whatever day, whatever time, okay?", "Chloe: Of course, I will. I got to go, though. Merry Christmas.", "Chelsea: Merry Christmas.", "Chloe: To all of you.", "Chelsea: [Sighs] Ugh.", "Adam: \"Ugh\" is right.", "Chelsea: No, Adam. I mean, \"Ugh, this is heartbreaking.\" [Sighs] To see Chloe without Delia on Christmas. But at least it gives her a little bit of peace, coming here and seeing Connor, you know.", "Adam: It's bordering on unhealthy.", "Chelsea: I love her, Adam. And she loves Connor. And I want to do more to help.", "Adam: You've given her the open invitation to come here any time she wants and see the baby. You're being a supportive friend.", "Chelsea: This would help Connor, too. Mean, you see the way they are together. They're like already practically family. I want to make it official. I want to make Chloe Connor's godmother.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Billy, we're coming upon a new year... a chance for a fresh start, a chance to put the past behind us... as much as you can. And hopefully that means finding Delia's killer, giving you a chance to heal.", "Billy: You know what they say in group? Manage expectations. So like I say, getting out of bed -- that's about as high as I'm shooting.", "Jack: I get it, Billy. Wasn't that long ago getting out of bed meant a wheelchair and Sarge busting my chops. And I was on my back again... shaking from withdrawal. Eventually, when I got out of my own way, I found there were people out there that -- that wanted to help me, who could hold me up when I couldn't hold myself up. You're not alone. You're not gonna feel this way forever. I promise.", "Billy: You see, I really would like to believe that, Jack. But this is reality now. This is who I am. I'm just a dad whose kid is gone. And that's not gonna change. So the way I feel, I really don't see how that's gonna change, either.", "Jack: It's already changing. Little by little. Starting with this pathetic little tree.", "Billy: [Chuckles]", "Jack: You got out of bed. You got in your car, you drove to a lot. You found a tree, and you brought it home. And you did all that for your family. It is one of the ugliest trees I've ever seen.", "Billy: [Chuckles] It is.", "Jack: It's also one of the prettiest.", "Billy: [Clears throat]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Neil?", "Neil: Yeah. Hey, Jack.", "Jack: Hey. Everything all right?", "Neil: Said the man in the police station on Christmas day.", "Jack: Well, I'm here to deliver a check for the officers' fund. Detective Chavez hasn't given up on my niece's case, and I just want to thank him.", "Neil: Nice.", "Jack: Now back to you.", "Neil: Hmm. Oh, me. Yeah. Um, that's why I'm here. I'm waiting for her.", "Jack: Oh, she's going all over town, showing her engagement ring?", "Neil: No, not yet, because I haven't proposed to her yet.", "Jack: What?", "Neil: Damn thing is burning a hole in my pocket, Jack.", "Jack: What's holding things up?", "Neil: I don't know. Devotion to justice.", "Jack: Oh. Noble, if annoying.", "Neil: Mm-hmm.", "Jack: Well, the right moment will come.", "Neil: Well, the right moment is already here. As a matter of fact, it's waiting for us back at my apartment with champagne and flowers. Come on.", "Jack: [Sighs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: We're just all so sad. We woke up sad. We had breakfast sad. You know, we open up presents, we're sad. I just miss her every second of the day. [Sighs] But being with you makes things a lot easier. So I'm sorry that I'm here early. I know that we were supposed to hang out later.", "Kevin: No, no. Early is great. I just, uh, have a couple things to finish up, and then we can do whatever you want. I just like the idea of being with you.", "Neil: [Clears throat]", "Kevin: Hey.", "Neil: Hey, guys. Kevin. Chloe, you look great. You look good.", "Chloe: Thank you. Well, you know, it's not normal for people to be hanging out at the police station on Christmas, but Kevin has an excuse.", "Jack: I've got an excuse. I'm here to thank Detective Chavez for not giving up on Delia's case.", "Chloe: Yeah, he's been really great. And thank you. You are a great uncle.", "Jack: Delia was an incredible little girl.", "Chloe: I know. Thank you for not avoiding talking about her. Well, people see me, and they don't really know what to say. It just reminds me that other people are thinking about her today. Thank you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Avery: Gravy. There you go.", "Dylan: You have any sweet potatoes left?", "Avery: Uh, yes. I think there are plenty.", "Dylan: Can I get you anything?", "Avery: Maybe you can hold my hand under the table when we finally get to sit down. I think I'd like that a lot. Okay. Okay. Santa, have a seat. Let me get you a plate. You're welcome.", "Dylan: All right. Whoa. Hi.", "Avery: Hi.", "Dylan: I'm just getting this over...", "Avery: [Chuckles] Rolls?", "Henry: Oh, thank you.", "Avery: Yeah.", "Henry: This is delicious. Thank you very much.", "Avery: Thank you. Merry Christmas.", "Henry: Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.", "[Indistinct conversations]", "Dylan: Hey, you're just, uh -- oh, excuse me. You're just in time for dinner.", "Man: I'm the plumber. I'm here to fix your pipes.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: We will go riding in the sand. But not right now. I just -- I need to stay close to home.", "Victor: You need to stay close to McAvoy. Right?", "Nikki: To him and for him, yes. I know right now he doesn't want anything to do with me, but with the New Year, new beginnings... no one should feel like they're alone.", "Victor: Sweetheart, he's not alone. Mean, he has Avery. He has friends. He's a grownup. You're much too good hearted.", "Nikki: No, I'm not. I'm just a mother. Anyway, can we please just enjoy this day? Cause I am so grateful for it. I love you so much. I want to enjoy it.", "Victor: Okay. And I have another present for you.", "Nikki: Oh, really?", "Victor: Oh, yeah.", "Nikki: Hmm. More tickets?", "Victor: Oh, no, no, no, no. No, no tickets. And I have a feeling you will not say no to this one.", "Nikki: Oh.", "Victor: Uh-huh.", "Nikki: Oh, my. Oh, my. Oh! [Gasps] Victor. This is a first edi-- this is a first edition!", "Victor: Mm-hmm.", "Nikki: Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Darling. I can't believe it. Thank you so much.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: Chloe always mentions to me that Katherine was her godmother. It really meant a lot her. It created this amazing bond between them. I want that for Connor. I want him to know Chloe.", "Adam: He's gonna know Chloe. He's gonna see her all the time.", "Chelsea: She loves him, Adam.", "Adam: Yes, she loves him. She especially loves the part of him that is Delia.", "Chelsea: Maybe that's partly true, but she loves him a lot, nonetheless, and that's all that matters. What baby doesn't need extra love, huh? Yeah.", "Adam: I know, but I mean... why do we have to slap a title on it? \"Godmother\" of all things. I mean, a rose by any other name. And no matter what, she will still walk around under my roof, giving me the stink eye.", "Chelsea: You said that we were creating our own memories, our own traditions, remember? I never had those growing up, Adam. So just do this for me. Humor me. Humor the fact that I want godparents for my little boy, and I want to thank God for this huge miracle that he's given us. 'Cause Connor- he is. He's a little miracle, isn't he? Yeah. And Delia -- she's proof that you can't take miracles for granted.", "[Connor coos]", "Chelsea: Isn't that true?", "Adam: Yeah.", "Chelsea: Yeah. So what do you say?", "Adam: This little guy is a miracle. Yes, you are.", "[Connor coos]", "Adam: And so are you. And so I'll do whatever you want.", "Chelsea: Yes! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yes!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: So in keeping with that whole \"It's ok to talk about Delia\" thing that you mentioned...", "Chloe: Yeah, what?", "Kevin: Uh, okay, well, I... I woke up, and I had this image in my head. Um, it was Mrs. C... wherever she is... with Delia. And, uh, and Delia was trying on all her jewelry. And then Mrs. C gives her this perfect Delia-size version of that big green ring that she used to wear...", "Chloe: Yeah.", "Kevin: ...As a Christmas gift.", "Chloe: Oh, Delia and Mrs. C's rings. [Both chuckle", "Kevin: Yeah.", "Chloe: [Voice breaking] The ring that I gave Delia the night that she --", "Kevin: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you. I just thought --", "Chloe: No. No, no, no. [Sniffles] No. You know I don't normally believe in all that stuff, but... [Sighs] Katherine and Cordelia Katherine are up there together, and she's taking care of her. I know that.", "Kevin: Yeah.", "Chloe: [Sighs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: Hey, Girl.", "Leslie: Hey.", "Neil: Business handled?", "Leslie: Well, of course, the one file that I'm looking for is nowhere to be found. You should, um, you should just go ahead.", "Neil: No.", "Leslie: What?", "Neil: I said no. I'm not going. Come here. Take a seat in this chair. I'm not walking out of her until I do what I've been meaning to do all day long. Now, this wasn't part of the plan. But here it goes.", "Leslie: Neil...", "Neil: Let me do this, okay?", "Leslie: [Gasps lightly] Neil.", "Neil: Will...you... marry me?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: Hey. We're home. Billy? Billy?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Leslie: Please, please, please get up off the floor.", "Neil: No, Leslie. Not until I have an answer.", "Leslie: This is a police station. You don't know what's on that floor.", "Neil: You insisted on coming here today, and that's just fine. I'm good with that. You know why? Because I love you. Every -- every minute, every second of every day. Leslie, when you wake up in the morning and your big, beautiful eyes look around and you say, \"It's a new day, what a blessing,\" I hear you. When you play with your hair... that little thing you do when you don't think anybody's watching you... I'm watching. And I love... I love that you work so hard. It means so much to me that you' diligent. And -- and the reason that I'm -- that I'm here right now, doing this...is because I don't want to spend another Christmas not married to you. Leslie, I am asking you for my gift -- just a word. Will you spend the rest of your life with me?", "Leslie: Yes. Yes.", "Neil: Yes. Yes.", "Leslie: Okay.", "Neil: There it is. Baby...", "Jack: [Chuckles]", "Chloe: [Chuckles]", "Leslie: [Laughs]", "Jack: About time.", "Neil: Thank you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Avery: [Sighs]", "Dylan: [Sighs]", "Avery: Well, we don't have to worry about leftovers.", "Dylan: This isn't exactly how you envisioned it, is it?", "Avery: No, but it's perfect. It's Christmas... with you. Hear, hear!", "[Applause]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "[Piano playing Bach's Prelude and Fugue in \"C\" Major]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: Now, tell me this is not the best baby ever. I dare you. I dare you. I dare you. [Smooches] I dare you.", "Adam: Yes, you're the best baby ever.", "Chelsea: [Chuckles]", "Adam: Yes, and you survived Christmas, didn't you?", "Chelsea: Yes. Oh! He loved it.

You're home.", "Billy: Hey. Yeah. I was really hoping to beat you two home, but, uh...", "Victoria: Where were you? You okay?", "Billy: Yeah, yeah. You know, I was thinking about Christmas and Delia and Johnny and you, and I realized we need cookies. We need cookies! [Grunts] Now, they're not as good as the ones you finally managed not to burn, but we have cookies.", "Victoria: My one successful batch.", "Billy: Yes. Delia was very impressed. So I knew we had to have them. I went out and got them, and now we've got cookies, 'cause Christmas needs cookies. Yeah.", "Victoria: You know what? Now it really is Christmas. Thank you.

[ "Victor: Isn't that something, huh? Merry Christmas. Do you like it?", "Faith: It's beautiful.", "Victor: Okay, my sweetheart. Okay, okay.", "Faith: Is she magic?", "Victor: Oh, yeah. I think she's magic.", "Nikki: She is if you want her to be.", "Victor: You see?", "Nikki: Here you go, honey.", "Nick: Thanks, mom. I should, uh -- I should be leaving soon.", "Nikki: Why? Where are you going?", "Nick: Well, Faith isn't happy with me right now. She'll have a lot more fun with you and dad if I'm not here.", "Nikki: All right. Well, we'll bring her home a little later.", "Nikki: Well, change of plans on that. I thought Faith would want to be with her mom tonight.", "Nikki: What does that mean? Sharon's picking her up?", "Nick: Yeah. So it's just another reason why I shouldn't be here.", "Faith: I think I'm gonna name my angel Katherine.", "Victor: Oh, you mean after Katherine chancellor.", "Faith: I wish I had something this pretty to give to you and grandma.", "Victor: Oh, sweetheart.", "Nikki: Well, we're all together.", "Victor: Yes.", "Nikki: That's gift enough.", "Victor: Okay?", "Victoria: Oh, my goodness. Today has been the perfect day. Yes, it has. I video chatted with my big boy reed. I opened presents with my little baby boy Johnny. And I have my miracle baby in my arms. And I've got you under my tree.", "Stitch: [Chuckles] Yeah. I'm feeling pretty blessed myself.", "Victoria: Good.", "Stitch: Actually, I used to look forward to doing this with max.", "Victoria: We're not gonna tell Ben our surprise, are we? No, we're gonna keep it a secret.", "Billy: You know, I was always in to Christmas, but it is so much better seeing it through a kid's eyes, especially Connor's.", "Chelsea: Yeah.

It's forever.", "Billy: How did a year that started with so much sadness get filled with miracles?", "Chelsea: You mean Katie?", "Billy: And us.", "Chelsea: [Smooches]", "Dylan: All right. I don't care who stops by. We are closed today.", "Avery: Yes. Well, the \"closed\" sign in the window kind of says that.", "Dylan: [Chuckles] Yeah.", "Avery: [Laughs]", "Dylan: Not that last Christmas wasn't pretty special.", "Avery: Oh, it was, wasn't it? All those people we let in and fed, people that had no other place to go.", "Dylan: This year is gonna be just as memorable.", "Avery: How is that possible?", "Dylan: Well, because it's just gonna be me and my fiancée.", "Avery: I love the sound of that.", "Dylan: And I know it probably would have been, uh, easier and nicer to have Christmas dinner at your place.", "Avery: I know why you wanted to be here. You're afraid this time next year, there may not be a crimson lights.", "Devon: Hey.", "Hilary: Why here?", "Devon: There was no bed, like I promised.", "Hilary: Just the spirit of your grandmother looming over us.", "Devon: Well, that's the other reason. I think that Katherine would approve.", "Hilary: I'm married to your father. She would have never approved.", "Devon: My grandmother would approve of how much I love you.", "Hilary: It's, um -- it's colder than I thought it would be.", "Devon: Hilary, look at me.", "Hilary: I can't. It could be months before we can tell Neil the truth, and... I want to touch you. I can't.", "Devon: Here. Have one.", "Jack: So, what are you thinking?", "Phyllis: That when you spend a year unconscious, Christmas gets here really, really fast.", "Jack: [Chuckles] Sounds so inconvenient.", "Phyllis: Well, I just could hardly believe it's here, that I'm here...alone with you.", "Jack: Oh, well, then let me help you believe it.", "[Door opens]", "Summer: Merry Christmas!", "Austin: Merry Christmas!", "Summer: Hi!", "Jack: [Sighs]", "Avery: Champagne?", "Dylan: Just trying to impress my girl.", "Avery: Oh!

You know, it's, uh -- it's just crazy. This place means so much to me. I remember coming the first time, and Kevin and Chloe were running it.", "Avery: Mm-hmm. No regrets on buying it?", "Dylan: The good easily outweighs the bad. And I used a lot of the money my dad left me, so in a way, it's, uh, kind of like a gift from him.", "Avery: I never thought about it that way. That's very sweet.", "Dylan: And this is where I first got to know Nikki. Uh, Paul and I hashed a few things out in this room.", "Avery: Uh-huh. It's the place we had our first kiss after Nick and I broke up.", "Dylan: I remember that.", "Avery: Yeah.", "Dylan: [Sighs]", "Avery: This place feels like home, doesn't it?", "Dylan: Maybe that's because wherever you are, I'm home.", "[Door opens]", "Dylan: We're closed.", "Avery: Closed!", "Paul: Police!", "Avery: [Laughs]", "Dylan: Come on.", "Avery: Oh, I guess we can make one exception.", "Paul: Merry Christmas, Avery.

I'm gonna be fine. Hey, dad. I wanted to show you what Faith got me...", "Victor: Oh!", "Nick: ...As a gift.", "Nikki: Oh, is that you?", "Nick: Yeah. She drew me as a cowboy.", "Victor: You did?", "Faith: It's just an art project for school. No big deal.", "Nick: Well, you drew it with your own hands, and that makes it a very big deal to me.", "Victor: It does indeed. That's a big deal. That's a beautiful picture. You're very talented.", "Faith: Can we play some more, grandpa?", "Victor: Yes, we can.", "Nikki: Wait a minute. In the house?", "Victor: You bet in the house. Once a year, we can do that.

Phyllis:, Oh, just because we brought your gifts last night, that doesn't --", "Jack: And you didn't have to include me.", "Austin: Well, we already had everything picked out. There's just one thing that wasn't quite ready yet.", "Phyllis: Getting to enjoy this Christmas with you and Jack -- that is the best gift of all, okay?", "Jack: So, do you have it?", "Austin: Right here.", "Jack: Thank you. I can't thank you enough.", "Austin: Well, hopefully, I get a gift from it, too -- you know, my mother-in- law's acceptance.", "Phyllis: Hey! What are you two whispering about over there?", "Jack: We're talking about you and your gift, and it's from all of us.", "Summer: Yes, especially my brilliant husband, who made it happen.", "Phyllis: Oh, yeah? What is it?", "Austin: It's this.", "Phyllis: [Chuckles] What is it? Like a movie?", "Jack: Sit. Watch.", "Phyllis: Okay.", "Summer: Hi, Mom. Merry Christmas. We know that you missed a lot in this past year, so now's your time to catch up, not just on world events, but on really important things that happened right here in Genoa City, like my wedding and Katherine's memorial service, and a bunch of other little things that were huge. So, sit back, relax, and catch up on what you missed while you were sleeping. [Smooches] Love you.", "Billy: You know, Chels, we'll be able to afford new wrapping paper and ribbon again next year.", "Chelsea: Oh, I know. But I feel like if I use this wrapping paper, it'll remind me of this Christmas -- our first Christmas spent with you.", "Billy: Well, in that case.", "Chelsea: Oh. I find I get very sentimental around the holidays. Probably because I never had a traditional Christmas when I was growing up. But now I find that I cherish it more and more every year.", "Billy: Does that include me? Am I cherished?", "Chelsea: Yes. Even you, Billy Abbott. But your Christmas is not yet complete.", "Billy: I have everything I need right here.", "Chelsea: Well, not quite. I mean, you should go visit Katie and Johnny before it gets too late.", "Billy: Yeah, that is a good idea. Thank you for being okay with all of this.", "Chelsea: Of course. I'll meet you back here?", "Billy: Yeah, sure. But, um...meet back here? Are you going somewhere?", "Chelsea: Um, well, we really have to make a Christmas visit ourselves.", "Billy: I understand.", "Chelsea: Yeah.", "Billy: Yeah. You be good for your mom, okay, buddy?", "Chelsea: Bye.", "Billy: Bye.", "Chelsea: You know how Mommy's always saying you should share? It's not so easy, is it? [Sighs]", "Victoria: Wow. Look at that.", "Stitch: Yeah.", "Victoria: He loves it.", "Stitch: It might have been easier to assemble an actual railroad. [Chuckles]", "Victoria: Sorry.", "Stitch: That's all right. Hey, look at this. I think Santa left something else under here.", "Victoria: What? It's for me?", "Stitch: Yeah. Just a little something I picked up.", "Victoria: I can't even -- oh. Oh, my gosh. It's beautiful. Oh, it's a locket!", "Stitch: Yeah, except this one's got three compartments.", "Victoria: Oh, yeah.", "Stitch: Yeah.", "Victoria: For all my children. Katie, Johnny, and reed.", "Stitch: Yeah.", "Victoria: It's beautiful. I can't wait to wear it.", "Stitch: Here, here. Let me give you a hand.", "Victoria: Oh, thank you. Okay. Thank you. Aww. I think Santa might have had a little help from you on this one, huh?", "Stitch: Uh, just a little. And from Johnny.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Victoria: Oh, your phone.", "Stitch: Oh. Uh, that's all right. I'll let it go to voicemail.", "Victoria: No, no, no. You should get that.", "Stitch: Uh, why? What's going on?", "Victoria: You should get it.", "Stitch: All right. Hello? I-I'm sorry, I-I can barely hear you. Who is this? Max, is -- is that you? It's my son. It's my son.", "Devon: So, where do they think you are?", "Hilary: Um, out for a walk to see the tree. And you're supposed to be...?", "Devon: I'm supposed to be with Gwen.", "Hilary: Yeah.", "Devon: I hate using her, but I had to figure out a way to see you.", "Hilary: I should get back home to Neil and the rest of the family.", "Devon: Hang on a second. Hang on. Listen. Hilary, I get that things have changed now that we know Neil's been tempted to drink.", "Hilary: We can't be together, not until we can truly be together.", "Devon: I understand that. Here. Have another one.", "Hilary: I don't care about the stupid chestnuts, Devon.", "Devon: Hilary, please.", "Hilary: [Sighs] [Snaps]", "Summer: Mom, what's wrong?", "Phyllis: Sweetheart, you were right. The biggest world events were less important than what happened right here. Hearing that Adam died, seeing the aftermath...", "Jack: Yeah, it's a lot to take in.", "Phyllis: Yes, it is. Excuse me.", "Austin: Let's get out of here.", "Summer: And go where?", "Austin: Finish the rest of our Christmas.", "Summer: I knew you had another gift for me.", "Austin: Yeah, don't pretend like that you didn't.", "Summer: Okay, I couldn't help myself. When we had our pretend Christmas, I thought you might be going to prison. So for real Christmas, I had to get you a real gift.", "Austin: Yeah, me, too.", "Summer: What did you get me?", "Austin: You'll find out when we get home.", "Summer: What?", "Austin: Being married to you is the best thing that's ever happened to me.", "Phyllis: I'm sorry, kids. That video got to me.", "Austin: Oh, it's okay. Uh, actually, we were just taking off.", "Summer: Yeah. I love you. Merry Christmas.", "Phyllis: I love you. Merry Christmas. And to you, too.", "Summer: His name is Austin.", "Phyllis: I know.", "Austin: [Chuckles] Right. Merry Christmas, you guys.", "Jack: Merry Christmas. It's a lot to take in. You sure you don't want to wait?", "Phyllis: No. This is the information I have been craving.", "Nick: To the cowboy. Faith must have drawn this when she thought I was still one of the good guys.", "Nikki: Oh, I don't know. I think you're still one of the good guys.", "Nick: Hey. What are you doing here?", "Nikki: In the neighborhood.", "Nick: Well, enter at your own risk.", "Nikki: Now, why do you say that?", "Nick: Well, Faith isn't around, so I don't have to pretend to be all jolly. I'm about as much fun as the Grinch.", "Nikki: Well, don't worry. You don't have to fake any \"ho, ho, ho's\" for me, either. I know what you're going through. That's why they call it the Christmas blues.", "Nick: Well, what about you? It's been a pretty rough year for you, too.", "Nikki: We're talking about you.", "Nick: Yeah, well, it's just the two of us, mom, so... is there something you want to tell me?", "Victor: What a wonderful surprise. Please come in.", "Chelsea: Your grandson has been asking for you, right?", "Victor: That's a coincidence, because I've been wanting to see him. Oh, perfect.", "Faith: Connor!", "Victor: Look who's here.", "Chelsea: Hi, Faith.", "Victor: Look who's here.", "Faith: Hi.", "Chelsea: Look who's here, buddy.", "Faith: Can I help Connor find his present under the tree?", "Chelsea: I think he would love that, huh? [Gasps] Look at all these presents. Look. Oh, is it back there?", "Faith: Hi, Connor. Hi!", "Chelsea: Sorry. I know I should have brought him sooner. Life has just been a little crazy lately.", "Victor: I can imagine. Spending all your time with --", "Chelsea: You know, Billy is always gonna be the father to your granddaughter.", "Victor: Uh, meaning what?", "Chelsea: Look at it this way. The more time Billy spends with me, the less time he'll spend with Victoria. So, really, by being with Billy, I'm actually giving you a Christmas gift.", "Victor: Well, you know, you are.", "Chelsea: [Laughs]", "Victor: You're making sense.", "Stitch: Yeah, that Santa's a smart guy. Hey, wait. Why are you so awake? The sun isn't even up there yet. She did? Your -- your mom gave you the stuff I sent? Well, that's great. Yeah. You get to celebrate Christmas a day early since you're in Australia. So, which one did you like best? The boogie board? [Chuckles] Oh, man. How about -- sure. Okay. Okay. [Chuckles] Well, we can catch up later on video chat. All right. Just make sure you send me some shots of you on that board, all right? I love you, son. Let me talk to your mom. Jenna, hey. Um... thank you so much. I didn't expect to -- no. I-I didn't know. Thanks again. Bye. You did this?", "Victoria: I don't know. I mean, I-I just gave Jenna a call.", "Stitch: What did you tell her?", "Victoria: I told her that you were covering for your mother and that...you didn't kill anybody and that you were working really hard to get your medical license back and that...", "Stitch: And?", "Victoria: ...You shouldn't be kept away from your son.", "Stitch: Victoria, this -- this is the best possible gift you could have given me.", "Victoria: Well...", "[Doorbell rings]", "Victoria: Here. Take her. Okay?", "Stitch: Hey, little one. You know, one of these days, my little boy's gonna come visit, and then we can all be part of one big family, right?", "Jack: You're never gonna miss anything again. Turn around. I'm starting a new family video album.", "Phyllis: [Laughs]", "Jack: Everything starts new for us. Right now.", "Phyllis: Jack --", "Jack: Oh.", "Phyllis: What -- what's going on?", "Johnny: Daddy!", "Billy: Merry Christmas, buddy. Look at what Santa left for you at my place. I'm sorry I'm late.", "Victoria: No. I mean, look at how perfectly you timed it. He's so excited.", "Billy: Do you know who's autograph that is? That is Aaron Rodgers.", "Johnny: Daddy, my ball!", "Billy: Yeah, it's a ball. This is your favorite quarterback. Just trust me on that one. He is. And you know what? When it's not so icy outside, we'll go through some passes, okay?", "Johnny: Yeah.", "Billy: Have a look at this train, huh? Smart job putting this together on your own.", "Victoria: Oh, no. It wasn't me, actually. Ben put it together, so...", "Billy: Oh.", "Victoria: Yeah.", "Billy: Uh, good.", "Stitch: Yeah, Johnny just wanted it put together real fast so he could show his daddy how it works.", "Billy: Yeah. Yeah, uh, well, we'll play engineer in just a second, okay? Because first, daddy also got something from Santa for Katie.", "Victoria: Oh. How sweet. Oh, that's so nice. What do you got here, huh? Oh, look at that. That's so cute. That's gonna be like her playmate for a long time.", "Billy: Yeah, I hope so.", "Victoria: Cute. Yeah.", "Billy: Do you -- do you mind?", "Victoria: No, go ahead.", "Billy: Hey, sweetheart. I hope that you'll always keep that nice and close. And when daddy can't be there, you snuggle up with it, all right? [Smooches] Yeah. Okay. Who's ready to play some train? You ready?", "Johnny: [Babbles]", "Billy: Hmm?", "Johnny: [Babbles]", "Billy: You ready? Here we go. Can you help me turn on the train? Here we go.", "Victoria: Oh!", "Faith: Connor.", "Victor: Having Connor here is the best thing you could have done for Faith.", "Chelsea: She's upset about Nick and Sharon.", "Victor: Yeah. But she's happier right now.", "Chelsea: Yeah. Connor has that affect on people.", "Victor: Well, he has that affect on me.", "Chelsea: [Chuckles]", "Victor: You make me smile. Look at that. That was a hell of a kick.", "Faith: What's wrong?", "Chelsea: Oh, nothing, sweetheart. I'm sure Rudolph's red nose must have blown a fuse or something, huh? [Chuckles]", "Nikki: Whatever I've had to deal with, whatever demons have haunted me this year, I've managed to overcome them. And you will, too.", "Nick: You think so?", "Nikki: All those wounds you've accumulated from Sharon -- they're -- they're gonna heal, and you're gonna move on.", "Nick: What makes you so sure?", "Nikki: Because you draw strength from the same source I do -- our family.", "Nick: Our family. All our family?", "Nikki: Including your father. Things may not have always been smooth sailing, but...he's still my anchor. And the children, grandchildren -- they're my compass. Honey, why don't you let them be that for you? And Victoria and Dylan and your father and me?", "Nick: We may need that compass. Maybe a flashlight. I'll be right back.", "Paul: I'm not going to interrupt what is obviously meant to be a Christmas for two.", "Avery: Oh, where's Chris? Isn't she feeling well?", "Paul: Um, actually, she's been queasy all day, and then she suddenly got this craving for the, uh, sunflower muffins you can only get here at crimson lights.", "Avery: Well, see? There's a lot of things you can only get at crimson lights.", "Dylan: [Sighs] Maybe people will realize that before it's too late.", "Paul: Yeah, hopefully.", "[Footsteps approaching]", "Dylan: Oh, uh, I don't really mean to be a scrooge, but we're kind of -- we're kind of closed.", "Summer: Oh, yeah. We know. We were headed home.", "Austin: Yeah, we saw the sign, but...", "Summer: All the streetlights went out. Lights went out all over town.", "Austin: Except here. Do you guys know what's going on?", "Paul: Uh, no. I'm about to find out. Yeah, this is Williams. Um, I'm down in the warehouse district, and there is an apparent power outage. Uh -- oh, really? That bad?", "Hilary: But I already have one. [Chuckles] Devon, your father gave it to me.", "Devon: Hilary, I want you to put this on your finger the day that we can actually be together and face the consequences.", "Hilary: Is that day ever gonna come?", "Devon: Do you know what they call this type of ring?", "Hilary: It's an eternity band.", "Devon: That's how long I'm gonna love you for, Hilary.", "Hilary: Must have cost you a fortune.", "Devon: I'm looking at my fortune. That is, unless you want me to take that back.", "Hilary: No. I love it. I love you. I vow to keep this ring safe and hidden until I can wear it, even if it takes a miracle. [Chuckles]", "Devon: What was that?", "Hilary: I think all the lights went out. Great. What do we do now?", "Devon: Um... I think we should take advantage of it. That's what I think.", "Hilary: What do you mean?", "Devon: Genoa City's in the dark. No one can see us do this.", "Paul: Contact every cop that's off-duty and tell them that they're now on standby. And have the uniforms go around to every signal and make sure they're at least blinking red. Right. And keep me updated. Right. Okay.", "Dylan: What's the situation?", "Paul: Well, uh, there was an ice storm up north that knocked out a power station, and it could be hours before they're back online.", "Summer: Well, we have flashlights at home.", "Paul: Well, actually, I don't want anyone going anywhere until we can at least check out these signals. So I'm gonna call Chris and make sure she's okay.", "Austin: Well, I'm sorry that we stepped on Christmas for you two.", "Avery: No. Not at all. I'm glad you're here and safe.", "Dylan: Ice storm's up north, so there's still a chance the power will come back on.", "Nick: This is the only light on for miles.", "Summer: Dad, grandma, what are you guys doing here?", "Nikki: Oh, we thought you and Austin would be at home.", "Austin: Yeah, we thought so, too. [Chuckles]", "Summer: Hey, come on.", "Avery: Oh, how's Christine?", "Paul: Uh, I'm happy to report she's fine. But I'm very unhappy to see you guys driving around on these dark streets.", "Nick: Glad this place still has power.", "Dylan: And coffee. You guys want some?", "Paul: Sure.", "Nick: Yeah, thanks.", "Paul: Here, let me help you with those.", "Nikki: Oh, thank you.", "Summer: Oh, my God. New year's day? This concert was completely sold out.", "Austin: I've been trolling the web for months, and it paid off.", "Summer: These tickets probably cost you at least double, then.", "Austin: You're worth it.", "Summer: Babe, that's really sweet, but you're the one that's always telling me that --", "Austin: I know I'm always saying to not wave your money around, but I've been saving up just for this. So, do you like it?", "Summer: [Chuckles] Like it? I-I love it!", "Austin: Yeah?", "Summer: Yes! I love it! And I love that we get to go together, and I love you so much. Thank you. Um, okay. Just remember how much you love me when you open up your gift. Okay, okay, okay.", "Austin: Okay, okay. Oh, it's beautiful. It's absolutely beautiful. Okay. Should I sit down before you tell me how much, or...?", "Summer: Maybe, because I made it.", "Austin: Say what?", "Summer: Yes. Yes, I learned my lesson about overspending, so I took up knitting in secret to make your present. Let me just put it on.", "Austin: Oh.", "Summer: Yeah. Do you like it?", "Austin: Yeah. I love it.", "Nikki: I'm sorry we're spoiling your plans.", "Avery: No.", "Dylan: No, you know, we weren't, uh, ready for a big crowd, but everybody's welcome to share what we do have.", "Austin: Uh, you need help with anything?", "Nick: Yeah, hey, uh, let's put some tables together.", "Austin: Cool.", "Summer: I will go grab silverware and napkins.", "Nikki: I'll put some more coffee on.", "Dylan: Sorry.", "Avery: No. Don't be. I have everything I want for Christmas.", "Dylan: Yeah, me, too.", "Jack: Thanks. All right. Well, if it's any consolation, we're not the only ones in the dark. Look, I know this is your first Christmas back in Genoa City. I'm sorry. I know how much you were looking forward to it.", "Phyllis: Do you hear me complaining? I am so grateful for every minute that I have with you, in the dark or not. Besides, all these candles are just so romantic.", "Jack: Well, I love your positive attitude.", "Phyllis: Mm-hmm.", "Jack: But I have to warn you, uh, things could get very chilly in this old house very quickly.", "Phyllis: Oh. You thinking what I'm thinking?", "Jack: We have to find some way to keep each other warm.", "Phyllis: Yes. It's a matter of survival.", "Summer: Hey.", "Nick: Okay, let's just -- there. Thank you.", "Summer: Hey.", "Victor: Hi, sweetheart.", "Nikki: Oh, my gosh. Victor. What are you doing here?", "Chelsea: Hi.", "Victor: Well, we were on the way to the underground to pick you up.", "Chelsea: Yeah, we saw the lights.", "Victor: Yes.", "Dylan: You guys want some coffee?", "Victor: Thank you, Dylan. That's very kind of you. My goodness, how lucky are we to spend Christmas Eve with you and then Christmas day.", "Avery: Well, luck has nothing to do with it, Victor. Crimson lights has always been a place people come in good times and bad. And hopefully always will be.", "Victor: Well, in spite of your passionate defense of this place, change is inevitable, you know.", "Avery: So are power outages, and yet here we all are. [Chuckling]", "Victoria: Is there enough room for us?", "Nikki: Of course, my baby how are you?", "Paul: You guys drove?", "Stitch: Yeah, it's completely quiet out there.", "Paul: Wow. What's going on with the lights?", "Billy: Oh, they're blinking red.", "Paul: Good to hear.", "Billy: Hey.", "Chelsea: Hi!", "Billy: I was worried about you and Connor stuck up in the penthouse.", "Chelsea: I know. I was worried about you driving. Hi.", "Stitch: Hey, let's go over there and warm up a little bit.", "Victoria: Yes.", "Nick: Hey, sweetheart.", "Faith: Hi, daddy. The lights are out everywhere. Why are they still on here?", "Nick: Well, your uncle Dylan must have a backup generator.", "Victor: Now.", "Nikki: What?", "Victor: I have one more Christmas present for you.", "Nikki: Oh, Victor. Another one?", "Victor: Mm-hmm. Close your eyes. Close your eyes.", "Nikki: All right. All right.", "Victor: Now open them.", "Nikki: Victor, as sweet as this is, I have more jewelry than I can ever wear.", "Victor: Just open it. [Smooches]", "Nikki: [Gasps] Oh, my God.

I came across some of cassie's favorite christmas things earlier, and it just brought up some memories, good ones.", "Mariah: Can I see them?", "Sharon: Yeah. This was cassie's stocking. This snow globe was hers, too.", "Mariah: So funny looking at this. I-I can almost see my sister growing up here...happy.", "Sharon: You know... sweetie, you -- you never call me mom.

That got here fast.", "Mariah: It's for you?", "Devon: You know what it is?", "Hilary: Yeah, of course. It's why I sent it to myself.", "Mariah: And you had it gift-wrapped.", "Hilary: Yeah. The spirit of the season. Oh.", "Mariah: Wow. That is really beautiful and, from the looks of it, very expensive.", "Hilary: Yeah, I guess so, but it's a different shade of red than what was shown on the website. I will deal with it later. Okay, people, I want the lights to be warm and flattering, okay? And the props...", "Devon: I thought for a minute she was actually into this.", "Mariah: Did somebody spike your sugarplums?", "Devon: [ Chuckles ] No, I just thought I glimpsed actual signs of merriment.", "Mariah: Well, that must have been before hilary found out she's not getting any gifts this year.", "Devon: I guess she's a star on tv, but her personal life is kind of lacking.", "Mariah: She's a scrooge. She brings it on herself. But you're very sweet to be doing this for her. It gives hilary at least the, uh, appearance of having a heart.", "Devon: Yeah, well, what I'm happy about is that you and i can talk like this again. I was little nervous that we were gonna have some tension on camera.", "Mariah: There's no need to be worried about that because i have been cut from the show.", "Devon: What are you talking about?

I want to see happy faces, all right? This is christmas! I want to see cheer! Devon, yes, you are with me. You know the drill, right?", "Devon: Yes, I do. I'm all yours.", "Hilary: Okay.", "Mariah: All right, we're going five, four, three, two...", "Hilary: Welcome, gc, to what is promised to be a very special and heartwarming episode of the hilary hour. We are here at the glamorous top of the tower, courtesy of the newman family. We're featuring the generosity of this man here, devon hamilton.", "Devon: Thank you very much for having me, hilary.", "Hilary: Yes, of course. Now, please tell us about this first annual hamilton- winters holiday toy drive.", "Devon: Yes, well, our mission is to help out underprivileged families who may be going through a rough time this season.", "Hilary: And the hilary hou \" is eager to help out. I, for one, love to share the joy and the hope of the christmas season with everyone. That is why we are moving to kids' letters to santa. Are you ready to help me spread some joy today?", "Devon: Let's do it.", "Hilary: Okay. All right. Dear santa, video game, please. Thank you. Love, tommy.", "Devon: [ Laughs ]", "Hilary: Okay, that was charming and short.", "Devon: Well, tommy, here you go, from santa to you, through us.", "Hilary: All right, let's dig a little deeper this time, okay?", "Devon: Yeah.", "Hilary: Well, this seems a little thicker. See if there's something interesting in there.", "Devon: Oh, they're all good, hilary. Dear santa, it's just me and my mom, and she can't afford a real christmas this year, but she's the best. I don't really need anything, but mom could use some pans for the kitchen. And please, please, please can you bring her a pretty, new dress? Oh, boy. Well, I don't, uh, I don't think we have anything in santa's bag for these more grownup requests, but there's definitely something that we'll be able to do.", "Hilary: Yeah, so we should move on to another letter.", "Devon: Well, there's more. Hang on. I've been soooo good this year, santa. I always clean up and do all my homework when mom goes out and stays late at flannery's, which she's doing a lot lately. Maybe you can just bank my wish list this year because I know what I want when I grow up. I don't need fancy clothes or jewelry or to be super- famous. I just want a happy family of my own with a dog and a yard and two kids so neither one will feel lonely. So just do what you can, santa. Thanks a ton. Sincerely, annie. Well, annie, I, uh, I do wish we could help out with those future plans of yours, but I'll tell you what we can do, and that's send some gifts to your mom and throw in some toys for you, too. Hilary?", "Hilary: Uh... yes, uh, we will be right back.", "Mariah: And we're out.", "Devon: [ Clears throat ]", "Hilary: Where -- where did you get that?", "Devon: You handed it to me. Why are you upset?", "Hilary: Because I... I wrote this letter. This little girl is me.", "[ Sighs ]", "Devon: So that's annie, as in ann turner?", "Hilary: Yeah, the name that i was born with.", "Devon: That still doesn't explain how it got here.", "Mariah: Or the things that you wrote. No fame, no fortune. Pots and pans? I mean, who was that girl?", "Hilary: Can we just try and focus on how this letter got here?", "Devon: Can I take a look at it again?", "Hilary: Yeah.", "Devon: Well, it says here it's from ms. Petrizzi?", "Hilary: That was my sunday school teacher.", "Devon: This was also in the envelope. It never felt right to throw out my students' letters to santa, particularly the most moving ones. So when I saw you on tv, annie, well, this very sentimental hoarder of a teacher thought you might appreciate a memento from your past. Ms. Petrizzi. Hey, can we have a second, mariah?", "Mariah: Yeah, of course.", "Devon: Thanks. Hey. You okay?", "Hilary: I can barely remember who this little girl was.", "Devon: Makes me sad that annie never got her wish.", "Hilary: Wishes change, devon.", "Devon: Sometimes. Thinking about your mom and your life back then, I'm sure this is tough for you.", "Hilary: I loved her, devon. And now as an adult, I can... I understand why she was so sad. I think she was frustrated because it just never measured up to the dream that she had, so she drank.", "Devon: You work now. You push forward, and you always -- you always try to reach for more. You got to know there's nothing wrong with doing that, though.", "Hilary: I'm just so... so far removed from what this little girl wanted and...", "Devon: You think so? Do our childhood wishes ever really go away?", "Hilary: You're always looking out for me, even when I-I give you plenty of reasons not to.", "Devon: It's okay.", "Mariah: We're back in one minute!", "Hilary: Okay, I got a show to do. Mariah, um...", "Mariah: Heading to my corner.", "Hilary: Could you... I would like it if you would join us, please.", "Mariah: And I don't have to wear that snowman costume?", "Hilary: No, just come as you are.", "Mariah: Okay.", "Hilary: Can I get a mike and a chair for mariah, please? Welcome back. And for a treat, we were joined by my co-host. Mariah, do you have any special holiday wishes for our audience?", "Mariah: Actually, I do. Season's greetings, and wishing everyone more peace, love, and chocolate in the new year.", "Hilary: I-I second that. And I also promise to help fulfill every possible wish for santa that we haven't gotten to yet with my own donation.", "Mariah: Including annie's? It's just -- I'm sure our audience was very moved by that letter from her. And I think they'd want to make sure she's gonna be okay.", "Hilary: I have no doubt that annie is very happy. And sometimes that's all it takes is getting your wishes out there. So I'm gonna urge all of my viewers to put pen to paper. Write a letter to santa or your fairy godmother or yourself. Lock it in a drawer and use it to help you figure out what you want in this life.", "Mariah: Kind of like a vision board.", "Hilary: Exactly. You know, if santa won't get it for you, then, you know, you go and you get it for yourself. You deserve it. Now, from all of us at the hilary hour, we would like to tell you to keep on buzzin', sc. That's right. I'm talking to you, santa.", "Mariah: And we're out!", "Hilary: Thank you, devon and mariah. I think that this is gonna be a really special show.", "Devon: Thank you, 'cause we're gonna be able to help a lot more kids and families because of you.", "Hilary: Oh, no, I didn't -- i didn't do that much.", "Devon: Yes, you did. You did a lot of good today. And I mean that.", "Mariah: Just when you think you know hilary, you're ready to curse her out, walk away, and never look back...", "Devon: She surprises us. I think she surprised herself today.", "Mariah: Yeah.", "Hilary: Merry christmas.", "Mariah: What?", "Hilary: Well, you said it was beautiful.", "Mariah: It is.", "Hilary: You deserve some beauty in your life, so I want you to have it.", "Mariah: Uh, I, uh... I don't know what to say. I can't believe you're -- you're giving that to me.", "Hilary: Don't say anything. Just take it and enjoy it. Enjoy your holidays.", "Mariah: Thank you.", "Hilary: Okay, okay, so go.", "Mariah: [ Chuckles ]", "Hilary: Go and have fun. Have a fun night, okay? I'll stay here. I'll clean up with everybody.", "Devon: You have a good night, too, hilary.", "Hilary: Thank you. You, too.", "Mariah: Merry christmas.", "Hilary: Same to you.", "[ Sighs ]", "Phyllis: Open it.", "Billy: Let's just wait a little bit longer.", "Phyllis: No, no, I'm telling you open it right now this minute, or I swear I will return it and you will be doomed to wonder for the rest of time.", "Billy: Okay, okay, okay. All right. Phyllis...", "Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Read what's on the tiny parachute.", "Billy: Abbott ?", "Phyllis: It's symbolic of a life-sized parachute monogrammed with your initials waiting for you on the airstrip.", "Billy: Skydiving? How did you know?", "Phyllis: Because I'm intuitive, and I'm very smart!", "Billy: Yes, you are. But first...", "Phyllis: Lessons. I had them arranged already. I picked a great pro. I wouldn't risk having my man flattened like a pancake.", "Billy: Oh, that's the sweetest. This is the best present ever.", "Phyllis: I knew it. I knew it. You conceded to defeat even before I rip the bow off of mine.", "Billy: Yep. [ Clears throat ] You win, that's for sure.", "Phyllis: Listen, whatever you have gotten me, I know I'm gonna absolutely love it.", "Billy: You know what? I had a brilliant idea. I really did. It was great. It didn't show up on time. It's -- it's supposed to be here, and it's not. I'm so sorry. I screwed up.", "Phyllis: Oh.", "Billy: I know. I'm so sorry. I should have planned better. I'm -- I'm -- I'm sorry.", "Phyllis: It's okay. Don't worry about it. It's no big deal. It's fine.", "Billy: Yes, it is. It's not cool at all.", "[ Cellphone rings ]", "Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Hi, daniel. I'm gonna...", "Billy: Tell him I say hello.", "Phyllis: Did you get the presents I sent?", "[ Doorbell rings ]", "Abby: Merry christmas!", "Billy: Save your merry for somebody that deserves it. I'm the winter warlock, the grinch who stole christmas, the abominable snowman all wrapped into one mushy snowball.", "Abby: It's one present.", "Billy: It's not, though, abby. It's like a life pattern with me. I'm constantly disappointing people. I'm like a clueless kid who can't get it right.", "Abby: Growing up is overrated.", "Billy: Yeah.", "Abby: I'm trying to be cheerful, but after the year i have had, I would love nothing more than to regress and ride into christmas dinner naked on a horse.", "Billy: Can you give me a warning? Because as a male relative, there's certain things I don't want to see. See, this is exactly what I'm talking about, okay?", "Abby: We're not related.", "Billy: You gonna disown me, too? Hmm? That just proves that we're family because that's what family does to me at a certain point. They just disown me.", "Abby: No, you haven't been my brother-in-law since you and victoria got divorced, and you're not my uncle anymore since my mom's not your sister.", "Billy: You can stop that. Your mother and I are always gonna be brother and sister.", "Abby: But john's not her father.", "Billy: I don't care about that. You and me, we are family, okay? Doesn't matter if I annoy you, embarrass you, discombobulate you. You're not gonna get off that easy.", "Abby: Got it.", "Billy: Plus I might need a couch to crash on when phyllis breaks up with me and kicks me out of the place.", "Abby: [ Chuckles ] Well, sometimes you get it right, like what you just said to me.", "Billy: What? Declaring us family forever? That's easy because I'm the only one that benefits from it.", "Abby: Not true. You just gave me the best gift ever. And you didn't even have to wrap it.", "Phyllis: Hey, victoria. Thank you for the invitation to take part of your holiday celebration this year.", "Victoria: I am so glad that billy passed that along. And you know what? No ulterior motives. I promise.", "Phyllis: I guess it really is the season of christmas miracles.", "Victoria: And you've got santa's perfect helper, billy, to remind you. How many gifts has he showered on you so far?", "Phyllis: [ Laughs ] I can't keep count.", "Victoria: That's the one thing that always blows me away about billy, how much thought he puts into his gifts. I remember one year after the ranch burned down, I was just heartbroken because my childhood bookcase was completely destroyed. Billy searched through every shop, every flea market, and he just couldn't find one like it. But you know what? That didn't really stop him. He commissioned an exact duplicate to be built for me.", "Phyllis: That's sweet.", "Victoria: You know, I know billy's not perfect. In a lot of ways, he's not. But I really thank god every day for the fact that he's the father of my children because it's the important stuff like his heart and his devotion to them that matter. Look, don't be too hard on him, okay? I can't believe I'm giving you advice about billy abbott right now.", "Phyllis: Well, I can't believe I might be taking it.", "Billy: Okay, before you say anything, let me just apologize, all right? I'm sorry for screwing up your gift and messing up your holiday.", "Phyllis: Billy --", "Billy: No, honestly, I set it up, and I tanked, and I'm sorry. I promise you that I am going to change, okay?", "Phyllis: Okay. Don't say it, don't think it, don't do it. Please don't change. I love you just the way you are.", "Billy: [ Muffled ] A screw-up?", "Phyllis: Spontaneity and passion comes along with screw-ups, and I'm okay with that. More than okay.", "Billy: You're the best. I don't deserve you. And just in case you weren't in a forgiving mood, I made you a little something. Close your eyes. Open them up.", "Phyllis: Oh! [ Laughs ] I love it.", "Billy: [ Chuckles ]", "Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Thank you.", "[ Doorbell rings ]", "Billy: Ignore it.", "Phyllis: We shouldn'T. What if it's santa?", "Billy: Santa doesn't ring the doorbell.", "Phyllis: Well, we don't exactly have a chimney.", "[ Door opens ]", "[ Door closes ]", "Billy: [ Laughs ] It was santa!", "Phyllis: Is that A...?", "Billy: That is a pear tree right there. They said it was lost in transit, but here it is just in time.", "Phyllis: A pear tree?", "Billy: Yep. I was gonna get you all 12 gifts from the song originally, but, uh, you know, it didn't exactly happen. But here it is, being your true love and all...", "Phyllis: You didn'T.", "Billy: I did. It all started at the pet store. They weren't gonna let me walk out of there with two turtle doves or the three french hens. Don't even get me started on the six geese a-laying. I mean, that was, like, a logistical nightmare. And the seven swans a-swimming, I mean, honestly, where are they gonna swim here?", "Phyllis: Well, it's just as well. I don't know how I feel about eight maids a-milking around you.", "Billy: That comes with cows. That's just messy. We don't have room for that.", "Phyllis: Shouldn't there be a partridge nestled somewhere in this pear tree?", "Billy: Go on. Keep digging.", "Phyllis: Little stubborn bugger. Oh. [ Chuckling ] Okay. Five golden rings.", "Billy: Five golden rings. One for each finger.", "Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. [ Gasps ] I love them. Thank you. Thank you so much.", "Billy: Merry christmas.", "Phyllis: Merry christmas. Five golden rings. [ Laughs ] Patrick woke up with back pain. You don't have anything stronger than caffeine in that drink, do you?", "Nikki: Excuse me? Oh, my gosh. [ Laughs ] From the side there, I thought you were an old friend of mine. My mistake.", "Nikki: Oh, no problem. [ Gasps ] I didn't mean that, what i asked. I don't drink myself. At least for a few years.", "Nikki: Well, then I raise my virgin hot chocolate to that. Well, consider yourself toasted. You're nikki newman, aren't you?", "Nikki: And you are?", "Kathy: You can call me kathy. So, how's your holiday season going?", "Nikki: [ Chuckles ] There's a lot of drama around this time of the year, isn't there?", "Kathy: Tell me about it. One day they treat me like a duchess. The next they're calling me on the carpet for every mistake I've ever made on god's green earth.", "Nikki: I hear that.", "Kathy: I used to know everything that went on in this town, but I've been a bit out of touch for a few years. Since we both seem to have some time on our hands, you want to fill me in?", "Nikki: On what?", "Kathy: You. Your husband. Are you loving him, leaving him, wishing he were here?", "Nikki: [ Chuckles ] Wow. You really are up on your genoa city gossip.", "[ Laughs ]", "Kathy: It's not really a laughing matter, though, nikki, is it? Can I call you nikki? I had a long line of lovers in my day, but none of those relationships can compare to the victor and nikki newman grand love saga. Oh, man, I lost track of time. I need to run. You stay true and stick to your guns always. You hear me?", "Nikki: Yeah. Sure. Oh, my god. That woman stole my purse! Oh. Sharon. Give me some herbal tea, the most calming one you have.", "Sharon: Is everything okay?", "Nikki: I just was robbed!", "Sharon: Oh, my god. Are you all right?", "Nikki: I'm fine. It's not like I was held up at gunpoint or anything. This woman slipped off with my purse!", "Sharon: Wow. Where did this happen? And did you call the police?", "Nikki: I was at the park. And no, I haven't called the police.", "Sharon: Because your phone was in your purse. Well, here. Consider this a christmas present from me.", "Nikki: A bag of tea. That is possibly the most generous thing you've ever given me.", "Sharon: You're welcome.", "Nikki: Oh, no, you are... are you kidding me? You have got to be the dumbest crook I have ever seen!", "Kathy: You got me.", "Nikki: Oh, I sure as hell do! How could you do that?!", "Kathy: I'm homeless, okay? I-I figured nikki newman wouldn't miss a few bucks.", "Nikki: That is no excuse to steal from anybody!", "Kathy: I know. I'm sorry. It's just life is hard without mansions and private jets.", "Nikki: What? You think I was born in a mansion? Unh-unh. I had many, many hard years. I've slept on park benches.", "Kathy: So what are you saying? You know me?", "Nikki: I'm saying I can relate to you. I remember what the hard times were like.", "Kathy: So you'll put in a kind word after you call the cops?", "Nikki: I'm not -- I'm not gonna call the police, even if you do give me my purse back. You can even have the cash that's in there.", "Kathy: [ Sighs ] Why are you being so nice?", "Nikki: What -- what was it that you said to me before? Something about sticking to my guns? You seem to be the kind of person who knows how to do that, somebody who wouldn't allow themselves to stay in a bad situation.", "Kathy: You know, even though I've been down on my luck, riding it out in a shelter down the street, I won't give up like most people do. It's like that song. I'm gonna live --", "Nikki: Till I die.", "Kathy: Huh. You know it.", "Nikki: [ Sighs ] Yeah, all too well.", "Kathy: But do you go at your life that way, approach every day determined to be present and open and really living? 'Cause I do.", "Nikki: I'm sorry. I have to apologize if this sounds rude, but how old are you? Because you seem a lot older than you look.", "Kathy: I've had some work done. But truly, nikki, thank you for everything. You're a kind soul, and you've got so much to give. Never forget that.", "Nikki: Wait a minute. Hold on. Um, just at least let me get you a cup of hot coffee and some food. Hold on. Sharon, do you still give your leftovers to that shelter down the street?", "Sharon: Every day.", "Nikki: Have you ever run into a young woman there? She's got, um, like strawberry blonde hair and her name is kathy?", "Sharon: No, I've gotten to know all those women pretty well. There's no kathy.", "Nikki: I was just talking to her! She's sitting right there! Well, now where did she go?", "Sharon: Who?", "Nikki: The woman. We were sitting there talking. You had to have seen her.", "Sharon: I thought you were alone out there.", "Sharon: Not in this room or in the office. No sign of the mysterious kathy anywhere.", "Nikki: Well, I wasn't drinking, sharon. That woman was here, the woman who stole my purse. She even left it behind. Do you see? Oh, what's this?", "Sharon: Wow. That is a beautiful necklace. I'm surprised you leave that thing in your purse like that.", "Nikki: It -- it's not mine.", "Sharon: So your mysterious kathy just dropped it into your purse?", "Nikki: Wait, there's, uh, some initials here. K...C. K.C.", "Sharon: If she owns something this expensive, why would she rob you?", "Nikki: Of course, me. Of course, me. Who else? Oh, my god.", "Sharon: Where are you going?", "Nikki: I think I know where to find her! Was that you? Are we slipping up? Are we forgetting the advice that you wrote to us in those letters before you died? It's so like you to find another way to reach out. But you know what, katherine? You don't have to worry, because your town, your park... your family and your friends... we are all in good hands. You still inspire us every single day. But thank you. Thank you for the reminder.

[ "The shadow is still at Nikki's hospital door. Now Victoria is at her bedside talking about childhood memories. She turns and asks \"what are you doing here.\" (It turns out to be Noah). Rey and Mia are in bed with Mia saying she has never felt closer. Downstairs at the coffee house Sharon is preparing for her pop up holiday party. Back at the Abbot house Jack wishes Billy a Merry Christmas and tells him he is grateful to have his brother back and he feels that the rough waters are behind them. Kerry shows up in a robe. Back at the hospital Noah shows up and tells Phyllis and Nick he just had to show up for his grandma. Nate arrives and says there is no change and that family should gather as soon as possible. Later at Jack's Kerry comes downstairs and Jack tells her the coast is clear. He asks her to come to Sharon's party and then admits he and Sharon were once married, but assures Kerry she is the only one for him. At Sharon's party Rey tells Sharon that he and Mia have reconnected. Tessa shows up at the party and Sharon stares her down. Mariah asks Sharon to make Tessa feel welcome. Tessa pretends to get a text from her sister saying she needs her, but Mariah doesn't believe her and knows she is just trying to make it easy on her. Mariah assures her she wants both Sharon and Tessa in her life. Mariah later talks to Sharon about Tessa.", "At the hospital Phyllis is at Nikki's bedside and tells her to wake the hell up and that she is needed . Meanwhile back at the party Sharon brings Tessa and Mariah a cider as sort of a peace offering and tells them she doesn't want Mariah miserable and agrees to learn to coexist and hopes it's enough. Soon after Tessa and Mariah kiss. Victoria gets the call from Nick that everyone should come to the hospital as Nikki is not going to make it. At the hospital everyone says their goodbyes. Jack shares memories with Nikki and tells her how special she is to him. Billy, Victoria and the kids gather and also say goodbye to Nikki while a tearful Reed looks on. Later Reed texts Charlie to give him a heads up that he is going to confess. Outside Mariah is holding a candlelight vigil with everyone as Tessa sings Holy Night. Back inside Reed finds Rey and starts to confess until Charlie finds him and interrupts with an excuse about Reed being messed up because of JT. As Noah is saying goodbye to Nikki she squeezes his hand to which Nate later tells them it was a reflex. Outside at the vigil Tessa is now singing Silent Night, as the shadow appears at Nikki's door. A hand grabs Nikki's hand and Victor is seen telling her Merry Christmas my darling.", "" ]

Good for you.", "Mia: Mm.", "Rey: It's just my way of saying that, even though I'm with mia, you're still important to me.", "Sharon: I tried to give tessa the benefit of the doubt --", "Mariah: Why can't you just be happy for me?!", "Sharon: Because I love you!", "Mariah: And I love you, too. But I also love tessa, and I want both of you in my life. I'm not gonna sacrifice either of you.", "[ Loud thud ]", "Reed: [ Gasps ] What was that?!", "Charlie: I don't know.", "Reed: Last night, on the road, when we were wondering... it was my grandma.", "Victoria: Dad has been there for her. He's been her love and her strength through all of those other things. And maybe she can't do it without him.", "Victoria: Christmas has always been your favorite holiday. Especially christmas eve. I remember when I was little, and dad would lift me up so that I could put the star on top of the tree. And then it was nicholas' turn after that, and then abby's, and then all the grandkids. And then, sometimes, we would have people come over, and we would have hot cocoa, and you would play christmas carols on the piano, and we would all sing along. I know how important this night is to you, mom, because it's all about family and love. And hope. Nate told us that we need to prepare for the worst, but here we are, another day come and gone... and there's been no change. So I would like to think that, if you're not getting worse, then you're still fighting. So you please just keep fighting, mom. I'm just gonna keep hoping.

[ Rey chuckles ] I feel like I already got my present.", "Rey: [ Chuckles ] Does that mean you're not interested in the gifts under the tree? 'Cause I can return those, you know.", "Mia: Touch those presents, and you're a dead man.", "Rey: [ Laughs ] You do realize you're the one person in the world who can actually say that to me?", "Mia: Or do so many interesting things to you.", "Rey: Definitely the only one for that.", "Mia: Oh, my goodness. I cannot imagine being happier than I am right at this moment. Feeling so close to you like this. Being with you again.", "Rey: [ Sighs ]", "Mia: The way we used to be. It's everything I've ever wanted.", "Rey: [ Sighs ]", "Mariah: Throwing a pop-up holiday party.

Isn't it pretty?", "Sharon: Your married co-worker is giving you presents. What could possibly go wrong?", "Sharon: It's a christmas ornament, okay? It's not lingerie.", "Mariah: Geez, mom!", "Sharon: What? You're the one who insinuated there was something inappropriate about it. I don't see anything wrong with giving a colleague a gift like this. It's a token of our friendship, period. Don't go reading anything more into it.", "Mariah: Are you sure that's all it is? Friendship?", "Sharon: I'm sure. Could you please help me clean up this mess and the boxes? I still need to get ready and finish setting up before the guests arrive.", "Jack: Merry almost christmas.", "Billy: It sure is. It's about to get even merrier once you see what I got you.", "Jack: Oh, whatever it is, i am sure I am gonna love it. But I won't appreciate it half as much as knowing I got my brother back.", "Billy: Yeah, we've had quite a year, haven't we? Our family's had its collective butt handed to them. More than once.", "Jack: Something tells me the rough waters are behind us. The abbotts are mounting a comeback.", "Billy: You're sure filled with holiday spirit.", "Jack: That, I am.", "Billy: Any particular reason?", "Kerry: Jack! Jack? Where'd you run off to? Oooh!", "Billy: Jack!", "Jack: [ Sighs ]", "Kerry: Hello, billy.", "Billy: Hello, kerry.", "Nick: Nate sounded so dire. Like we needed to prepare ourselves.", "Phyllis: He's just covering himself. Managing the family's expectations.", "Nick: You think there's reason to be optimistic? Based on what?", "Phyllis: It has been 24 hours, and nikki is still here, and that is not nothing. It's christmas eve. Miracles do happen, and you have to hang on to that. And if you can't, then you have to hang on to me.", "[ Door opens ]", "Nick: Hey!

And since you've gone to the trouble of getting dressed, and since you look so good, would you do me the honor of coming with me to sharon newman's party? It's a little holiday get-together, very casual. It's at the coffeehouse.", "Kerry: Sure. I'd be down for that. I think I met sharon at, uh, the boutique launch party. Billy's date, right?", "Jack: Ah, very good memory. She and billy are just friends.", "Kerry: Oh, well, she's gorgeous. As long as you and she are just friends, that's all I care about.", "Jack: We are friends. We are also former spouses.", "Kerry: You two were married to each other?", "Jack: It was a decade ago. It wasn't in the cards for us.", "Kerry: Wow. You do have a lot of exes scattered about. Although I suppose it speaks well of you that you maintain on such good terms with them.", "Jack: I know it's odd. Every time you turn around, you're face-to-face with another part of my past. But I want to make something very clear -- you are the woman I want to be with. You are the only woman I have ever invited to bora bora. And this trip we're about to take... [ Inhales ] I'm hoping it's just the beginning. It's been a long time since someone has made me as happy as you do. Does that help?", "Kerry: It helps a lot.", "Nick: Not gonna lie to you, it's been rough. Especially with your grandpa pulling another one of his disappearing acts. Phyllis has been amazing. Your mom has, too, you know. I don't know what I would have done without them.", "Noah: Well, you know, that's my mom. Whenever there's a crisis, there she is, taking the high road.", "Nick: Hey. Uh, any change?", "Victoria: She's resting comfortably. Holding her own.", "Noah: Billy.", "Billy: Good to hear that. It's good that you're here.", "Nick: It sure is.", "Billy: Listen, you have been here since noon. I think it's, uh, time to take a break.", "Victoria: Well, actually, i could use something to eat.", "Billy: Well, sharon's having a little get-together at crimson lights. I thought we could swing by there before we go and see reed and the kids.", "Nick: That's a good idea. I was just with faith and christian. Really picked me up.", "Victoria: I'd hate to leave mom.", "Nick: You know mom would just kick you out. Go and enjoy some of the holidays. I will call you if anything changes.", "Victoria: Okay. Sounds like a plan.", "Billy: Okay.", "Victoria: Noah, why don't you come with us and see sharon?", "Noah: No, you know what, I'm gonna see mom later. Um, just do me a favor, though.

Heh... honey, but no one's here yet. And you know what? You don't mind, right?", "Mariah: Uh, you know, actually, right now, as far as staff goes, we're kind of filled to the max, so...", "Mia: No, still, you don't want to get stuck in a rut, okay? A woman in the spotlight should have a fresh look for the holidays, for the new year, okay? You know what? Let's come on over here. I'm just gonna throw some ideas at you.", "Mariah: Okay...", "Sharon: You and mia seem like you're in a good place.", "Rey: I think it's the happiest she's been since we were newlyweds.", "Sharon: And are you happy, too?", "Rey: You know, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to reconnect with her.

I guess I am.", "Sharon: Well, that's all I ever wanted for you.", "Mariah: Hey!", "Tessa: Hi.", "Mariah: You're here.", "Tessa: Yeah, maybe not for long.", "Mariah: What are you talking about?", "Tessa: I don't want to make sharon mad.", "Mariah: No, y-you know, we talked the other night, and she and I came to an understanding.", "Tessa: Does she know that?", "Mariah: She doesn't like that you and I are still together, but she's gonna have to learn to accept it.", "Sharon: Well, this is a surprise.", "Mariah: Yeah. I invited tessa, because it's christmas eve, and I want to be with the two people in my life that mean the most to me. Is that okay?", "Jack: Thank you for having us.", "Sharon: Thank you for coming out. It's nice to see you again, kerry.", "Kerry: You too.", "Sharon: Um, so, there's treats over there. Can I get either of you a beverage?", "Kerry: Uh... in a bit.", "Jack: Yeah, in a bit.", "Sharon: Okay. Enjoy.", "Mariah: You've barely said two words to tessa.", "Sharon: I've been busy.", "Mariah: Look, I don't expect you to fawn all over her, but you could at least make her feel welcome.", "Sharon: Victoria, I didn't expect to see you. I'm so glad you came.", "Billy: Yeah, I had to persuade her to take a break from the icu, but we're here.", "Sharon: Well done.", "Jack: Hello, you two.", "Billy: Hey, hi.", "Victoria: Hi. Merry christmas.", "Jack: How's nikki doing? I assume the fact that you're here means things are steady in the hospital?", "Victoria: There's been no change in her condition, if that's what you call steady.", "Jack: Well, under the circumstances, I'll take anything I can get.", "Kerry: We've all been there. It's, uh... it's good to take breaks, to decompress. See some other faces.", "Billy: See? She speaks the truth.", "Sharon: Um... rey is here.", "Victoria: If I had known who else was on the guest list --", "Sharon: He's just here to unwind, like everyone else.", "Billy: Yeah. We'll just ignore him. We'll share a brownie, we'll drink our mochas, and we'll be on our way.", "Sharon: I'll have lizzy start those drinks. Excuse me.", "Billy: Thank you.", "Mariah: Hey.", "Tessa: Hi.", "Mariah: What's wrong?", "Tessa: Uh, I just... I got a text from crystal.", "Mariah: Is she okay?", "Tessa: Yes and no. She just... she doesn't know a soul in canada, and she's so lonely, and I figured I should go and spend christmas with her.", "Mariah: Wait. You're gonna leave tonight?", "Tessa: Well, I checked. The -- the roads are fine.", "Mariah: No, you can't -- give me your phone.", "Tessa: Why?", "Mariah: Because I want you to show me the text. Unless you can't because there isn't one.", "Tessa: Look, I'm trying to do the right thing.", "Mariah: I shouldn't have to choose between you and my mother!", "Tessa: Sharon is never going to accept me. She hates me. And you know what? I understand why. After all the crap that I've pulled with her? I think that the best gift that I can give you is to leave.", "Mariah: No. I love you. I would be miserable without you.", "Tessa: Well, you'd be miserable with me. Maybe in a different way. But then you would start to resent me for coming between you and her.", "Mariah: No. That's not gonna happen.", "Tessa: It's better this way.", "Mariah: Not for me.", "Tessa: Do you honestly believe that you're gonna be okay with splitting your life? One part with me, one part with sharon?", "Mariah: Yes, if I have to.", "Tessa: That's no way to live.", "Mariah: Well, you know what, I will find a way, because I am not going to lose either one of you.", "Phyllis: Well, I know you hate being stuck here in this hospital. You should be home with your family. Sitting in front of a roaring fire, opening gifts, telling the staff how many places to set for dinner. [ Sighs ] Whoever mowed you down and wrecked your christmas, they should pay. That bastard shouldn't get away with it. So channel that anger and wake up. And start feeling better. If that isn't motivation enough, then think about victor. I...personally... would not have a problem with... victor going down for J.T.'S murder. But I know that you were determined to prove that vto is being framed. But you cannot do that from this bed. So wake the hell up. Or things may not go the way you want them to. Come on, nikki. Open your eyes. You're needed here.", "Nick: I'm sorry you had to come home under these circumstances. Really grateful. Hope you know that.", "Noah: I talked to summer about joining us, but she thought it'd be best if she stayed in dubai in case grandpa showed up. You know, she's worried about him, too.", "Nick: I don't know what's worse -- thinking that something terrible happened to my dad, or that he may have murdered reed's father...", "Noah: [ Sighs ]", "Nick: ...And he's hiding underground to avoid being arrested.", "Noah: Or there's some other explanation that we haven't thought of yet.", "Nick: Either way, it's terrible timing.", "Noah: Look, I'm just gonna assume that you and vicki have looked every place you can think of.", "Nick: Two sets of pi'S.

Is she gonna make a full recovery?", "Nate: I took a look at nikki's latest tests, and still no change.", "Noah: Is she deteriorating?", "Nate: She should have regained consciousness long before now. And just the fact that she hasn't is concerning.", "Nick: I just need you to level with us. If that was your mom in there... would you expect her to turn around anytime soon?", "Nate: I think the rest of the family ought to get down here now. I-I wouldn't wait.", "Billy: Anyway, johnny and katie are basically looking everywhere -- in the closet, the back of my car. Anywhere where mom and dad would hide the christmas presents.", "Victoria: Such little stinkers.", "Jack: I'm sure we were just as bad when we were their age.", "Kerry: Oh, no, no. Not me. I was an angel. Can you not see my halo?", "Jack: Oh, I actually can.", "Kerry: Yeah? [ Chuckles ]", "Jack: So, where are you hiding the gifts?", "Billy: In the extra refrigerator in the garage. She has it padlocked.", "Victoria: Well, you know, safety first.", "Kerry: Sheer genius.", "Victoria: Mm-hmm.", "Billy: And get this.", "Victoria: What? Oh! Well, because, uh, they think that it's full of spinach.", "Billy: [ Laughs ]", "Kerry: Ohh!", "Victoria: Yeah.", "Billy: Perfect, right?", "Victoria: [ Laughs ] Yes.", "Billy: There it is!", "Victoria: What?", "Billy: That smile of yours. I've missed it.", "Victoria: Thanks for helping me get it back.", "Billy: Mm-hmm.", "Victoria: [ Giggles ]", "Sharon: I know it's awkward, but I think it's best to just give victoria a little breathing room. She's practically living at the hospital.", "Rey: Oh, no. I understand. I'm just glad to hear that nikki's still holding on.", "Kerry: Hello, mia.", "Mia: [ Gasps ] Merry christmas!

I thought you might enjoy it.", "Mariah: Peace offering?", "Sharon: Call it whatever you want.", "Tessa: Thank you, sharon.", "Sharon: You're welcome.", "Tessa: I can never apologize enough for what I've put you through.", "Sharon: You can tell me you're sorry as much as you want. I'm not going to just forgive and forget. But... because it is christmas... I can't bear the thought of making my daughter unhappy when we're so lucky to have each other. So I promise to be civil. That's the best I can do. Hopefully it will be enough that we can all coexist. For mariah's sake. I love you.", "Mariah: I love you. No more talk of you leaving, okay?", "Tessa: I'm not going anywhere.", "Sharon: Can I get you anything else?", "Jack: Uh, not me, thank you.", "Billy: I think we're good, too, thank you.", "Victoria: This has been a lovely respite. But billy and i really should get going.", "Sharon: Well, I'm glad it helped.", "Victoria: Uh, sharon, do you mind if I grab some sugar cookies so the kids can leave them out for santa?", "Sharon: Absolutely! Come and pick out what you want. It's on the house.", "Victoria: Oh, wow. Thank you.", "Billy: So, you and your little, uh, scientist lady friend there seem to have a good thing going on.", "Jack: So good that we are headed to bora bora right after christmas.", "Billy: Wow. That's a bold move for someone you don't know all that well.", "Jack: You know what? With everything nikki's going through, it's just one more reminder of how quickly things change. I like her.

You wouldn't be intruding, and I'm sure they would appreciate all the support they can get.", "Jack: She's right. I agree.", "Kerry: Jack, you need to be there, too.

It happens, right? I mean [Sighs] This has been dragging on. I mean, I could understand why you were gonna jump to the scariest conclusion --", "Noah: \"Get everybody down here. Prepare yourselves.\" How is that not terrifying?", "Phyllis: Nikki still may come out of this. No one knows what's gonna happen tonight.", "Nick: You're right. You're right. Let's be positive.

How you doing?", "Reed: Good.", "Noah: Good to see you.", "Reed: Yeah, I didn't know you were gonna be here.", "Noah: Yeah, I didn't either till, uh, this morning. Just seemed like the right time to come, you know?", "Phyllis: Wise decision.", "Nick: How was sharon's thing at the coffeehouse?", "Victoria: The party? Uh, it was -- it was -- it was nice, but, um, we didn't say long.

I wanted to come by, I'm just...", "Sharon: No, you were needed here, and I understand.", "Nick: Vick brought the kids. They're in the cafeteria with billy.", "Sharon: I didn't call faith. I wasn't sure how you wanted to handle it.", "Nick: I think she'd want to be here, don't you?", "Sharon: Definitely.", "Noah: You know, I rented a car. I could, uh -- I could swing by your place, go pick her up.", "Phyllis: Why don't you let me do that? You should stay with nikki and your parents.", "Noah: Appreciate that.", "Jack: Everybody being here like this would make nikki so proud.", "Sharon: I hope that she knows that we're all here for her, and that this gives her strength.", "Victoria: You're not allowed here. This is family only.", "Rey: After I heard your mother had taken a turn for the worse, I felt I had to come. I reached out to dr. Hastings. Not only to get an update on her medical condition, but to ask him again about the night nikki was brought in. Maybe there was something he'd forgotten, some detail he and the emergency team didn't even realize would help me find the driver who ran her down and left the scene.", "Nick: I find it fascinating that you would leave your wife on christmas eve to come down here. What, do you got some ulterior motive?", "Rey: Like solving this case?", "Nick: What, to lurk around and wait for my dad to show up so you can arrest him before he sees my mom?", "Rey: That is not what I am --", "Nick: Just get the hell out of here!", "Nate: This is an icu ward. Contain yourselves.", "Nick: Sorry.", "Victoria: When can we see our mother?", "Nate: Now. In small groups and short visits.", "Rey: May I have a word, please?", "Nate: Certainly.", "Victoria: I guess mom was never really a regular churchgoer, but I know that she did find a lot of comfort in prayer. So maybe we could just... we could bow our heads right now and ask for a miracle.", "Tessa: Hi.", "Mariah: Hey. Thank you so much for doing this.", "Tessa: Your idea's really beautiful.

Johnny and katie actually made you something.", "Victoria: Oh, yeah. New christmas art for your collection. And this one. I'm gonna put them up to remind you that it's not where you are for christmas, but who's keeping you in their hearts.", "Johnny: I love you, grandma.", "Billy: Hey, buddy. Why don't the, uh, three of us give reed and mommy a little bit of time with grandma, okay?

I can wait.", "Reed: Mom, I just... could you please just give me a minute?", "Victoria: Okay.", "Reed: [ Sighs ]", "Jack: You remember that weekend we spent up at the cabin our first year of marriage? It was autumn. You said you wanted to go hiking and check out the leaves. Scenery was stunning. Bright reds and oranges and yellows, and the sun was... so high in the sky, the sky so blue, it hurt your heart. And you turned to me out of nowhere, and you said, \"god surely must be a hell of a painter.\" I can remember you standing there, gazing up at me, your hair dappled by the sun, your eyes wide with the wonder of it all, and... it wasn't like we were kids. We were pretty jaded by then, both of us. World-weary. But in that moment, I felt like I touched the core of you. [ Crying ] Like I'd seen your soul. [ Sniffles ] And it damn near knocked me off my feet. [ Sighs ] All these years later, I -- I let you down, nik. I knew you were struggling. I had no idea how bad things were, but... I should have said something. I should have insisted I go with you. 30 meetings in 30 days. You can't leave. You have to let me make it up to you. Please, nik. Don't go.", "Nick: Hey, mom. It's me. I'm with sharon.", "Sharon: Hi, nikki.", "Nick: And guess who else is here? Noah.", "Noah: Yeah, it's -- it's, uh -- it's true, grandma. I, um... I came home especially to see you this christmas, okay? And I -- I want to be with you many more christmases to come.", "Nick: I know you've been hearing from everyone about how loved and needed you are. So I'm gonna say it again. You are the heart and soul of this family. And we can't go on without you. So don't even think about -- did --", "Mariah: I just wanted to thank you all for coming. My mom actually inspired this idea by saying that she hoped that nikki felt our presence here. And so I wanted to ask you guys to bow your heads and join me in a moment of silence for nikki. To send her our best wishes and most heartfelt prayers. Make her feel what we're all feeling.", "Nick: No, I aw it myself, and noah felt it.", "Nate: Nikki definitely squeezed your son's hand?", "Nick: Yes. I think she's coming back to us.", "Victoria: My mother can't thank you right now, so I will on her behalf. Your love and your caring and support mean so much. Thank you.", "Tessa: [ Strumming ] Silent night, holy night all is calm, all is bright 'round yon virgin, mother and child holy infant, so tender and mild sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace silent night, holy night", "Reed: You're detective rosales?", "Rey: That's right.", "Reed: I'm reed hellstrom.", "Rey: I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother.", "Reed: Um...can I talk to you about something?", "Charlie: Hey! Reed! Come on, don't do this, man. This is a mistake.", "Rey: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is this about?", "Charlie: Look, reed is just really messed up about what happened to his dad. But come on, man. He can't tell you anything more than you already know. You need to be focused on your grandma and the rest of your family instead of trying to cause a scene with this detective. I mean, think of what that would do to your family. It's christmas eve, and your grandma's unconscious in intensive care?", "Reed: [ Sighs ] Um... uh, I'm sorry to bother you.", "Charlie: Thank god I got here before you blurted something out.", "Reed: I don't know how much longer I can live with this secret.", "Nick: All right, what do you think?", "Noah: Is she coming through this?", "Nate: I'm sorry. I examined nikki, and I think her squeezing your son's hand was an involuntary reflex. I saw nothing to indicate that she was about to regain consciousness. I'm so sorry.", "Sharon: We'll keep on praying.", "Nick: I need some air.", "Tessa: Silent night, holy night shepherds quake at the sight glories stream from heaven afar heavenly hosts sing alleluia christ the savior is born christ the savior is born", "Victor: Merry christmas, my darling.

Trust me, summer is the expert in this area.", "Summer: Okay, it's true. I was a little bit boy-crazy in my youth, but something that i have learned is pretending to be something that you're not, like, you know, changing your hair or the way that you dress to make a guy find you more attractive, it's just -- it's all the wrong things.", "Faith: Really? Because dakota says --", "Summer: Okay, first piece of advice? Ignore dakota. And, second, just be yourself, you know? Don't ever settle for somebody who doesn't make you feel like they're so incredibly lucky to be with you, you know, someone that doesn't make you feel like you're treasured and smart.", "Mariah: Yeah.", "Summer: Let him like you for all the beauty that's in your heart.", "Mariah: And your brilliant brain.", "Summer: Yes, but -- be authentic.

With their pedigree, I wouldn't put it past them.", "Sharon: I just love being able to look up and see faith.", "Rey: You really missed her.", "Sharon: Like you wouldn't believe.", "Rey: Is that why you were so distracted while we were getting ready before she got here?", "Sharon: Oh, was I?", "Rey: Yeah, you were looking at your phone every 5 minutes. Now, if I have some competition, sharon...", "Sharon: It's connor.", "Rey: Yeah?", "Sharon: Yeah, I just can't help, um... wondering if he might have another crisis, and then chelsea or adam might call me over there to help get him through it.", "Rey: I hate to ask, but... I really want to know.", "Sharon: Oh, you -- you can ask me anything.", "Rey: Okay. Well, don't take this the wrong way, but, um... I know you care about connor, and you want to do everything you can to help him.", "Sharon: Absolutely.", "Rey: But how much of this is because he's a kid who needs your help, and how much of this is because he's adam's son?", "Sharon: Rey...", "Rey: I'm -- I'm not judging either way, I just -- I need to know.", "Sharon: Okay. That's a big question. The fact that connor is adam's son does factor into it.", "Rey: Because of your past with him?", "Sharon: Because adam is the man that he is, and always has been, you know? His life is complicated and dark and unpredictable, and... if I can help connor and keep him from falling into a place like that and give him better coping mechanisms and a brighter way to look at the world, then I have done my job.", "Adam: Good seeing you, chance. I got to run.", "Phyllis: Oh, was it something I said?", "Chance: I hope things turn around for connor.", "Adam: Thank you.", "Phyllis: See you around.", "Adam: Not if I see you first, phyllis.", "Phyllis: Hey! Where you going so quick? [ Sighs ] You have to save the world, or turn back the hands of time to undue some ungodly wrong?", "Chance: Like what ended the peace and goodwill between you and adam? I bet that's a real good story.", "Phyllis: Adam is a very, very dark ride. But I'm sure you know that because you spent all that time with him in vegas, all the time you're spending with him here in town.", "Chance: Am I not allowed to have friends?", "Phyllis: On the contrary. I'd love to be your friend. And you have no idea how far I would go for a friend. So, why don't you let me buy you a drink? You know, take the edge off, get to know each other better.

We planned to go on strike.", "Paul: Strike? What do you mean?", "Michael: What, you were gonna stop working because we weren't getting along?", "Christine: No, she's not talking about fenmore'S. Um, we were talking about, you know, withholding...our love and affection.", "Paul: Oh, good lord, you weren't going to that far.", "Michael: What?", "Christine: Yeah!", "Lauren: Oh, yes.", "Christine: When a beautiful friendship's at stake, of course.", "Lauren: Yes!

Carolers going from room to room.", "Amanda: That actually sounds like fun.", "Nate: Yeah, the best is when santa swings by. He brings all his little elves, and they hand out gifts to all the kids. You should see the looks on those kids' faces. Adults, too.", "Amanda: Well, if you have to work on the holidays, at least you're with friends, right?", "Nate: What about you?

I just want to make sure you're doing all right.", "Amanda: I'm just not big with all the christmas party stuff.", "Nate: Even so, being alone during the holidays is hard on some people.", "Amanda: I...think I'll manage, thanks.", "Nate: [ Chuckles ] You can't just give me a smile like that. What's going on? You've been making some friends?", "Amanda: Mm. Let's just say, I've been finding ways to fill my evenings.

[ "Ashley is frozen. She is with Tom alone in the alley. He is covered with blood and laying on his stomach very still. Tom suddenly makes a movement to grab Ashley's foot and he does which frightens her. She backs up so that he can't reach her if he tries that again but he really looks like he won't. Ashley freezes again and just stares down at him. The police roll up and order her to drop the gun. She does. Her hands and bagged and her wrists are cuffed behind her as she is read her rights. She is then taken downtown where she is put in an interview room, but she says nothing, and will say nothing until she talks to an attorney. She calls Christine. Christine comes to see Ashley but can't see how she can get this work done in time for Ashley to be let out of jail that night. When Christine gets more details, she is surprised at what she leans. \"Tell me Ashley Did you shoot Tom Fisher tonight?\" Michael is arrives at the alley, and he sees all the commotion and then Tom tied to a stretcher. \"What happened to him? He is my stepfather.\" He learns that Tom has been shot. Michael doesn't care about him. \"That is the bastard that shot my wife!\" Michael shouts. \"Isn't that right Tom?\" It takes all the attendants to keep him from the stretcher and from tearing Tom apart. Kevin has something to figure out now. \"Who got to you Tom? Who go to you first?\" He calls Kevin and tells him that he has to get to the hospital. \"Tom just got shot and he might not make it. Meet me at the hospital.\" Paul gets the word. In an attempt to figure out whose fingerprints are whose, he gets the confirmation that he expected. The woman in the Mental Institution is not really Sheila. This is all beginning to make sense to him now. Scott comes over and Paul tries to fill him in as best he can. \"Do you know this woman?\" Paul shows Scott the picture of Sheila in correctional institute clothing. \"That is 'Brenda'!\" Scott says. Paul corrects him. \"That is Sheila Carter. She has been after your mother from years. She took you as a baby and it took a year for Lauren to get you back from her. She took Lauren to a farmhouse and kidnapped her \" Scott knows this story. \" And she started a fire! This is the story! This is the story that we were writing,\" Scott shouts. \"Only Sheila turned everything around to make my mother look like the bad guy in all this.\" Paul convinces Scott that he can help with this. \"She won't hurt you Scott. You are the reason that she has done all of this.\" Scott gets on his phone and calls 'Brenda'/Sheila's voicemail. He leaves a message for her to call him. \"I really need someone to talk about this with. My mother is gone and we are good friends. So please call.\" When Scott hangs up, Paul smiles. Now all they have to do is wait. Phyllis and Nikki are on cloud nine. Everyone that has heard their idea loves it. Victor wishes that he could be a part of it, but he understands that his wife had to go to her company first about it. Phyllis and Nikki touch base. Phyllis is at the coffeehouse thinking about what a great feeling it is to change from being a computer person to entering this whole new field as a career. Jack finds her in the back on the patio and he comes over to her looking very unhappy. She bounces up to him happily but he is not in the mood. \"How dare you go over my head Phyllis,\" he demands to know. She said that she and Nikki had to do that as they really believed in this idea and had to keep trying to make it work. \"That is not the point. I am in charge and I am stopping this.\" Phyllis says that Jill liked the idea so much that she is giving seed money for it. Jack didn't know that and he assures her that he will not let this happen. Phyllis feels that he is just being vindictive. \"How would you feel Phyllis if I give you the money for this and it didn't work and I had to pull out?\" Phyllis says that wouldn't happen, and even if it did, at least you would have given me a chance. Jack tells Phyllis that her jumping into another field is not a good idea. \"You are good at what you do with the computers. How about we go out to dinner and discuss finding something else for you in your current field that you can really find challenging. Phyllis doesn't want to do that, and she doesn't want to go to dinner and chat. Jack gets his knickers in a bunch and leaves. Phyllis calls Nikki and tells her what happened. Victor is in the room and hears that Jack has nixed the idea. Nikki tells that things will be okay. \"Victor will help us get this started.\" Victor has his back to Nikki, and he smiles. Phyllis tells Nikki to get Victor over there to meet with her so they can get this party started. Gloria is in a panic. Michael didn't sound right, Ashley hasn't returned to the house and she has done what she was told to do which was to call the police and wait at home. She looks through the whole house for John and then realizes that he has gone and didn't tell her where he was going. She then gets a call. \"Yes This is Mrs. Abbot. What? He was in a car accident?\" She hangs up and gets her coat to head out of the house." ]

Don't make me regret telling you where he was.", "Michael: Did you call the police?", "Gloria: Yes.", "Michael: Then you have nothing to worry about.", "Gloria: Michael, promise me you won't do anything crazy.", "Michael: I'll talk to you later, Gloria.", "Gloria: Michael?! Don't you hang up on me! Michael? Michael. John? John?! John?!", "Michael: I hope you're ready, Tom. 'Cause I'm coming for you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sheila: What are you so happy about?", "Lauren: Just thinking about Michael. And all the things I'm gonna do when I get out of here.", "Sheila: You really think you'll see daylight again?", "Lauren: Oh, yeah. The police should be here any time. Then I get to watch you get hauled off to jail. When you're rotting behind bars, I'm gonna be with my husband who loves me more than anything. How does that make you feel? Knowing that I have someone so incredible and you don't? I mean, I don't think there's a man alive who'd wanna be with you.", "Sheila: Scotty does.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: Look, warden, I know it sounds unbelievable, but I'm not making this up. The fingerprints I just faxed you belong to the real Sheila Carter. The woman you're holding is an imposter. I don't know who she is. Look, you run your own fingerprint comparison, and I'm sure you'll discover the same thing I already know. Right. Listen, um... would you call me when you get the results? You have my number? Uh-huh. Okay, thanks.", "Paul: Oh, God, Lauren. I am so sorry. (Doorbell rings)", "Paul: Hey, Scott, come on in. Sorry.", "Scott: I, uh... got your message.", "Paul: Yeah, thanks for coming over. Uh, there's something you can do for me. Can you take a look at this woman and, uh... tell me who she is?", "Scott: This is Brenda. Is this a mug shot?", "Paul: Yeah, it is. Only it's not Brenda. That woman is Sheila Carter. And I am convinced she is responsible for your mother's death.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "J.T.: Hey, what time do you get off tonight?", "Mac: I don't know. I'm covering for Kevin.", "J.T.: How's he doing?", "Mac: All right, I guess. He's, uh... he's having a hard time. He was pretty close to Lauren.", "J.T.: Yeah, and finding out his dad's responsible for the whole thing...", "Mac: Yeah.", "Kevin: Hey, did the cops catch Tom?", "J.T.: No, not yet. Sorry, man,", "Kevin: Not as sorry as he's gonna be.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Telephone rings)", "Nikki: Hello.", "Phyllis: Hey, Nikki, it's Phyllis.", "Nikki: Well, hi, partner.", "Phyllis: Hey. I was wondering, did you tell Victor our good news?", "Nikki: Not yet, but I'm going to. He'll be thrilled for us.", "Phyllis: Oh, I hope. I'm just so excited that Jill is behind this project. And she's giving us the seed money. You know, we should've gone to her in the first place.", "Nikki: Well, the most important thing is that we're off and running. Do you realize that one short year from now we could be celebrating the grand opening of our first wellness center?", "Phyllis: From your mouth to the big guy's ears. Oh, wait a second, um, I'll call you back, all right? Hey. How are you? What's wrong?", "Jack: I heard you and Nikki pitched your idea to Jill. How dare you go behind my back?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Jill approved of the project?", "Nikki: For the initial R & D, just to get it rolling.", "Victor: That's wonderful news.", "Nikki: You really mean that?", "Victor: Of course, sweetheart, I mean that.", "Nikki: Well, it was so generous of you to offer to finance this project. I will never forget it, and Phyllis and I were fully prepared to take you up on it.", "Victor: You don't owe me any explanation at all. I'm just glad Jill realized what a great concept this is. So if you guys need any further help, let me know.", "Nikki: Are you all right?", "Victor: (Sighs) you know, I can't get the story about Lauren Fenmore out of my mind. I mean, she and Michael were just married. This is just absolutely horrible.", "Nikki: I know. I know, it's been weighing on me, too. But I get the feeling that something else is bothering you. Or is that my imagination?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Scott: So you're telling me that Brenda killed my mom?", "Paul: Her name isn't Brenda.", "Scott: Sheila Carter-- whatever--she is the one who blew up the yacht?", "Paul: I am positive she was involved.", "Scott: I don't understand this.", "Paul: I know you don't. I know you don't. But I'm gonna do my best to try and explain it to you, okay? Sheila was your mom's enemy for years, since before you were born.", "Scott: What?", "Paul: Sheila tried to kill your mother on more than one occasion. And she is a very disturbed woman. She escaped from an institution for the criminally insane.", "Scott: No, look, you're wrong. I know Brenda. She's a little off. She's different. But she is not crazy.", "Paul: Right. And how many times did your mom meet Brenda?", "Scott: Never.", "Paul: And you know why that is? Because every time you tried to set it up, what happened? Brenda made some kind of excuse why she couldn't be there, right? Look, Scott, I'm telling you, you've been conned.", "Scott: Okay, let's say you're right. Why does she hate my mom so much?", "Paul: Sheila was in love with your father.", "Scott: The doctor?", "Paul: Sheila Carter was a nurse at Genoa City Memorial. And when you were born, Sheila stole you from the hospital. She tried to pass you off as her own. And it was over a year before Lauren figured it out and got you back. But not before Sheila made your mom's life a living hell.", "Scott: How? What did she do?", "Paul: She kidnapped your mom. She had every intention of doing away with her. She gagged her. She tied her up. She took her to a--", "Scott: To a farmhouse. And then she set the place on fire. And everyone thought she was dead but they were wrong.", "Paul: What, you already know this?", "Scott: No. It's the book I've been writing. Paul, this is Brenda's story. Only in her twisted version, the villain is my mom. She made my mother the evil one.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: You think Scott wants to be with you?", "Sheila: I know he does. He cares very deeply for me, Lauren.", "Lauren: Oh, you are totally delusional.", "Sheila: Am I?", "Lauren: Mm-hmm. He was never interested in you. He liked you story. Oh, excuse me, my story. And maybe he felt sorry for you. But that's really where it ended.", "Sheila: He considered me his mother.", "Lauren: You're out of your mind.", "Sheila: Come on, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it? I'm the first person he bonded with after he was born. It was me who spent sleepless nights caring for him and nurturing him and loving him the way that a mother does.", "Lauren: I am his mother.", "Sheila: Biologically. But not in here! Not where it counts! Oh, no, that young man and I-- we connect in ways that you can't even begin to imagine. He may not remember me taking care of him when he was little, but in his heart, he knows. Believe me, he knows.", "Lauren: You are so out of your mind.", "Sheila: Why can't you just admit it? You never cared for the boy. No, he was just a possession, a nuisance, someone to ship away to boarding school so you wouldn't have to deal with him.", "Lauren: I did that to keep him away from you!", "Sheila: Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, huh? The fact is, you failed as a mother and Scott knows that. That's why he despises you so much.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Gloria: John?", "Gloria: John, where are you?", "Gloria: Did you leave without telling me?", "Officer: Drop the gun, lady. Now! Okay, now put your hands up.", "Officer: He's still alive. This is Officer Mitchell, I need am ambulance at 245 Euclid rear entrance. G.S.W., White male, responsive, significant blood loss. What's your name?", "Ashley: Ashley Abbott.", "Officer: Well, Ms. Abbott, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: Nikki and I did not go behind your back.", "Jack: Oh, what would you call it? I am in charge at Chancellor Industries.", "Phyllis: And Jill is in charge at Jabot.", "Jack: Which is now part of Chancellor Industries.", "Phyllis: (Sighs) okay, let me explain--", "Jack: Oh, no, I think it's pretty clear. You and Nikki came to me with your proposal. You didn't like my answer, so you went to Jill instead.", "Phyllis: Listen, Jack, all we did is run it by Jill to see what she thought.", "Jack: You know what I find ironic in all of this? You're always accusing me of stirring things up with us and the Newmans. You did exactly the same thing to me and Jill.", "Phyllis: That is not what I did. Listen, Nikki and I believe in this project.", "Jack: Oh, and my opinion counts for nothing? Let me tell you something, I've been in the business world a lot longer than you have. I'd like to think I've developed some pretty good instincts. This concept of yours looks good on paper. Turning it into a reality would be a logistical nightmare.", "Phyllis: Really? Well, that's not what Jill thinks. In fact, she's very excited about the idea and giving us seed money to develop it further.", "Jack: You're joking.", "Phyllis: No, I'm not. The ball's already rolling.", "Jack: Is it really?", "Phyllis: Uh-huh.", "Jack: Well, I'm C.E.O. of the parent company. And C.E.O., I have final say on all Jabot expenditures. This one just got denied.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Why would you think that something is troubling me?", "Nikki: Maybe because the New Year is upon us, and you haven't made any plans yet.", "Victor: Well, I didn't know that I had a deadline.", "Nikki: No, no, there's no deadline. But I know you. You just seem restless-- anxious for a new project.", "Victor: You know me only too well, don't you? I have a few projects in mind. Now that I know that Newman Enterprises is in good hands, perhaps I'm ready for a new challenge.", "Nikki: I know I should've come to you first with my idea of the wellness centers before Jabot. That would've been a perfect project for you.", "Victor: No, you shouldn't have come to me. That would've caused nothing but problems. You work for Jabot. Phyllis works for Jabot. You owe that company the right of first refusal. Now obviously, Jill hasn't refused.", "Nikki: No. No. She's very excited about it. So am I.", "Victor: Well, I'm very happy that you're excited. Let me warn you, though. Jill may have approved of the project. She doesn't run the company. Jack Abbott has the final say.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "J.T.: So it looks like Tom Fisher wasn't working alone.", "Mac: He had a partner?", "Kevin: Let me guess, that Jennifer person?", "J.T.: Well, there is no Jennifer. That was all a fraud. Her real name's Sheila Carter.", "Kevin: Sheila Carter? No way, that lady's in some nut house out in California.", "J.T.: That's what everybody thought. But we have proof she's been living right here in Genoa City.", "Kevin: Sheila Carter and Terrible Tom-- there's a combo.", "Mac: Well, do the police know all this?", "J.T.: Yeah, they do now.", "Kevin: Well, what's being done to stop these monsters?", "J.T.: Look, they're on it. The police here and in Florida are doing everything they can.", "Kevin: Well, then how come they haven't come up with anything? Huh? Why is it that Lauren is dead and Tom and Sheila are still walking around free? How is that fair?", "J.T.: Kevin...", "Kevin: All right, J.T., please, please, just leave me alone.", "J.T.: They'll find 'em. They will.", "Kevin: Thanks.", "J.T.: I know what you're going through, man.", "Kevin: How could you possibly understand?", "J.T.: 'Cause I've been there.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Scott: I don't understand why my mom didn't tell me about this. Why did she keep it a secret?", "Paul: Look, Scott, she just thought it was best you didn't know. She didn't want you to spend your whole childhood thinking that Sheila Carter was coming after you.", "Scott: But she--", "Paul: She was trying to protect you. She loved you, Scott. That's why she didn't want you living in Genoa City. She didn't want Sheila to find you.", "Scott: But she did find me. I mean, it couldn't have been that difficult. It's not like I was in the witness protection program.", "Paul: She thought Sheila was locked up in a maximum security mental institution in California. We all did. Now we know that isn't true. (Cell phone rings) (Ring)", "Paul: Paul Williams.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: Scott doesn't hate me. We've had our bumps along the road like any mother and son but... our relationship is solid.", "Sheila: Yeah, maybe in your mind. But why don't you ask Scott how he feels?", "Lauren: You've seen us together when you were disguised as Jennifer. You saw him give me that beautiful necklace-- the one that you poisoned. Are you saying he was pretending to care about me? No. He loves me, Sheila. Scott loves me.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: That was the, uh, warden from the facility that I mentioned. They confirmed that the woman they are holding is not Sheila Carter. He's informed the F.B.I. and they have in turn issued a warrant for her capture.", "Scott: You think they're gonna find her?", "Paul: I don't know, Scott. She could've fled the country by now.", "Scott: Yeah, or she could be in the apartment right next door. We really have no idea, do we? She could be anywhere.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sheila: Oh, if you only knew.", "Lauren: Knew what?", "Sheila: The things that Scott told me about during our writing sessions. Oh, yeah, he puts on a big act when he's in front of you. But the damage has been done, Lauren. He despises you. He despises you for all the times you weren't there for him.", "Lauren: When he needed me, I was always there.", "Sheila: Oh, really? Were you there for him when he broke his arm when he was a little boy? Did you take him to the hospital? Did you sit by his side and hold that precious little hand of his? Oh, no, no, you didn't, did you? No, that was-- that was the school nurse. You couldn't be bothered. No, you were in Paris buying couture for your store while Scotty was in a cold hospital room all by himself. You know, there's a lot more where that came from, lady.", "Lauren: I just... I don't wanna hear any more.", "Sheila: Oh, what's the matter, Lauren? What? You can't take a cold, hard dose of reality?", "Lauren: Where the hell is Tom? Come on!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: All right, what's-- what the hell's going on here? What?", "Man: Who are you?", "Michael: The man on the gurney is my stepfather. What can you tell me?", "Man: Gun shot, lucky to be alive.", "Michael: You can let him die for all I care. Oh, don't look at me that way. I didn't do it.", "Man: Any idea who did?", "Michael: In this town? It could've been just about anybody. What happened to him?", "Man: I'm not at liberty to say.", "Michael: Tom? Tom, it's me! It's Michael.", "Man: Sir, get away.", "Michael: What did you do to Lauren? I know it was you! You blew up that yacht and you killed my wife, you son of a bitch!", "Man: That's enough!", "Michael: I want you to tell me with your own words! I wanna hear you say it! You tell me!", "Man: This is your last word!", "Michael: I've got to talk to him! I know what he did!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Door buzzes)", "Officer: We swabbed both hands.", "Troy: Good. Log the residue and the gun into evidence. Send everything to the lab.", "Officer: Yes, sir.", "Troy: We get an I.D. on the victim?", "Officer: Affirmative-- Tom Fisher.", "Troy: The man we've been looking for in connection to the Fenmore murder? Thanks, officer. Have a seat. So here's what I know-- our officers arrive at the scene and they found you there holding a gun. Is that accurate?", "Ashley: I'd like to speak with my attorney, please.", "Troy: Ashley Abbott, you wouldn't by any chance be related to John Abbott?", "Ashley: He's my father.", "Troy: Really? Kind of a strange place for a cosmetic heiress to be at this hour-- the alley behind a restaurant where a wanted fugitive is hiding. Maybe you were having dinner at Roman's Steakhouse?", "Ashley: I know my rights. And I don't have to answer any of your questions unless my attorney's present.", "Troy: All right, call your lawyer. Officer, escort her to the phone, please.", "Officer: Hey, Hawk.", "Troy: Yeah?", "Officer: You know that anonymous call that came in to dispatch about an hour ago-- the woman who told us where we could find Fisher?", "Troy: What about it?", "Officer: They ran a trace. It came from John Abbott's house.", "Troy: Call C.S.I. find out if Fisher was armed.", "Ashley: Yes, um, Christine Blair, please.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: I can't believe you're being this vindictive, Jack. You're pulling the plug on this just because Nikki and i went to Jill.", "Jack: Listen to me-- this is an intriguing idea. It is. But there's good reason it's not a good idea for Jabot. It would be cost-prohibitive. One malpractice suit with a sympathetic jury-- Jabot would be forking out millions.", "Phyllis: I can't believe-- I cannot believe you won't even think about this idea.", "Jack: I have thought about it. I have given my answer. This is not personal.", "Phyllis: Oh, you know what? If you say it's business, I'm gonna scream.", "Jack: This is not your area of expertise, sweetheart.", "Phyllis: You know what? I can do a lot more that just work on computers.", "Jack: It's what you do best. Why go looking for more?", "Phyllis: Because I need more, Jack. I need more. Do you understand that? I mean, I don't wanna be stuck in a room all day long just staring at my computer. I wanna grow. I wanna--", "Jack: I will find a good project for you-- something that is suited to your skill set. Look, what do you say we get out of here? We'll get some dinner and we'll talk about this some more.", "Phyllis: Oh, no, thanks. I have a headache.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: It's a wonderful feeling to have a job you love, doing something that fulfills you. I remember a time when you had that fire.", "Victor: I do, too, my sweetheart. But remember, I stepped away from business because I wanted to spend more time with you.", "Nikki: And you are the most wonderful man in the world for that. I cannot thank you enough. These last few months-- the cruise, spending time together, just magical. But now that we're home, I want you to look forward to the future as much as I do.", "Victor: But do me a favor, don't urge me too much to find a new project. Because you know damn well what will happen. Once I've accepted something, I'm gonna go into it wholeheartedly and passionately. And then I won't have enough time for my love, okay? And then you will complain.", "Nikki: No, I won't.", "Victor: Sometimes I feel I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.", "Nikki: Oh, damn it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: J.T., I get that you're trying to cheer me up--", "J.T.: I've been in your shoes, man. I know what it's like to lose somebody you loved. I've been through it.", "Kevin: Who did you lose?", "J.T.: My uncle. He was one of my favorite guys in the world, too, man. He was like a-- kind of like a second dad, you know? You know, when I was about 13, he was killed in this carjacking. He was sitting at a stoplight, and this guy comes up with a gun, you know? And, uh... things got ugly and he got shot.", "Kevin: Sorry.", "J.T.: He was salt of the earth, too, man. That guy had never done anything to anyone. And at first... I tried to rationalize it, you know? And then I just got angry. I wanted to hurt the guy who'd done that to him.", "Kevin: Did they ever catch him?", "J.T.: Yeah, finally. After he'd done it again.", "Kevin: At least it ended for you. You know, if the police don't catch Tom... if he gets away with this... I should've taken care of him when I had the chance.", "J.T.: No, then you'd be sitting in prison right now, Kevin.", "Kevin: Well, it almost would've been worth it.", "J.T.: You can't possibly mean that.", "Kevin: Tom has lived longer than he should have. I wish he were standing here right now. I would hurt him so bad. Make him pay for every terrible thing that he's ever done, you know I just wanna explode right now. I just wanna explode. I wanna hit something! I just wanna hit something really hard, you know?", "J.T.: You really mean that?", "Kevin: Yeah, damn right, I do.", "J.T.: Then hit me, Kevin.", "Kevin: What?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: Sheila can't run forever. Sooner or later she is going to stop. And that's when we'll catch her.", "Scott: I wish I could be as confident. But if that woman could fool so many people for so long...", "Paul: Look, you know her better than anyone else. Is there a place where you think she could hide? Or a foreign country that she mentioned she'd like to visit?", "Scott: No.", "Paul: Scott, you're not in danger. It's pretty obvious how she felt about you. Because of you she went to all this trouble.", "Scott: Do you have any idea how creepy that is? How guilty I feel for letting myself be fooled that way? My mom's dead because of me.", "Paul: Stop it.", "Scott: No, I let her into my life. I let that psycho into my life. I let it happen.", "Paul: You had no idea what was going on. Right? Now that you do know the truth, let's do something about it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: Come on, Tom! Damn it! What is taking him so long?", "Sheila: Feeling kind of claustrophobic, are we?", "Lauren: I just don't wanna spend another minute in here with you.", "Sheila: Yeah, well, you know what? This isn't my idea of a good time, either.", "Lauren: You are so lucky that he didn't kill you on the spot.", "Sheila: That's too bad. Because then my blood would've been on your hands.", "Lauren: You think that there is a jury in this world that would convict me of murdering you? No. There's nothing stopping me from killing you right now. All I'd have to do is say it was self-defense. They would believe me.", "Sheila: Then why don't you just shut up and do it?", "Lauren: Because I'm not like you, Sheila. And I want the satisfaction of seeing you behind bars.", "Sheila: Oh, you really think we're still getting of here?", "Lauren: Look, I know Tom is no angel. But he is not gonna let us die here. I am sure he's getting word to Michael right now.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Any leads?", "Man: Sir, please, stay back. This is a crime scene.", "Michael: Yeah, right, I'm an attorney.", "Man: You know, well, then you can understand that we can't have any contamination.", "Michael: The only contamination out here was the guy they took away in the ambulance. Who got to you, Tom? Who got to you?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chris: Thank you. Ashley...", "Ashley: Oh, thank God you're here.", "Chris: How are you?", "Ashley: Well, I'm pretty shaken up.", "Chris: I can imagine. I spoke with Detective Hawkins. He filled me in on your situation. Are you aware of the charges against you?", "Ashley: Assault with intent to kill.", "Chris: Possibly attempted murder. Did the police arrest you at the scene?", "Ashley: Yeah.", "Chris: Did they read you your rights?", "Ashley: Yeah, and then they started asking me a lot of questions. And I just kept telling them over and over again I wanted to talk to my attorney.", "Chris: Okay, good. The first thing we wanna do is concentrate on getting you out of here.", "Ashley: I cannot spend the night in jail, please.", "Chris: Well, I'll do what I can, but it's late. We might not get a bail hearing till tomorrow morning.", "Ashley: Oh, God. Oh, my God.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: So let me get this straight-- it's okay for us to make love when you want something. But when I wanna go out to dinner, you have to sit here and sulk and mope because you didn't get your way.", "Phyllis: Oh, well, I think I have every right to feel the way that I want. And it's not as if we asked you for millions of dollars. We just asked you for a little seed money to develop this project.", "Jack: You have no idea how much that would cost, sweetheart. And what if I said yes? What if we went along with this, and down the road I changed my mind? I didn't like what I saw? I pulled the plug? What would happen then? We'd be right back where we are now.", "Phyllis: No, we wouldn't. Because you would've given my idea a chance. I am so disappointed.", "Jack: You're not the only one.", "Phyllis: Jack, come back here. Talk to me, Jack!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: I suppose you're right. I have been giving you mixed messages. On one hand, I love that we're spending more time together. But I also know that you need more out of life.", "Victor: It's difficult for me to find a balance. It always has been. (Telephone rings)", "Nikki: I'll get it. Hello?", "Phyllis: Hi, Nikki, it's Phyllis. I have some bad news.", "Nikki: What?", "Phyllis: I just talked to Jack. He's yanking the funding on the project.", "Nikki: Oh, no. No!", "Phyllis: Oh, yes. I think it's mostly an ego thing.", "Nikki: (Sighs) what, that we went to Jill because he turned us down?", "Phyllis: Exactly.", "Nikki: Okay, um... well, now that the project is dead at Jabot, why don't we go to Victor?", "Phyllis: Are you serious?", "Nikki: Very. We already know that he's interested. What do you say? Jack's loss is our gain.", "Phyllis: I say, definitely yes. Let's do it. I'm at the coffeehouse. Can you guys meet me here tonight?", "Nikki: Um, tonight at the coffeehouse? Yeah, that sounds great.", "Phyllis: So I'll just sit tight until you show up.", "Nikki: So what else did Jack say?", "Phyllis: You know, I really don't care. I think I blocked it out.", "Nikki: You realize the problems this could create for you, especially if we end up working with Victor.", "Phyllis: Yes, I do. But you know, Nikki, life is about chances. And I'm not gonna pass this one up.", "Nikki: Okay. I mean, if you're sure.", "Phyllis: I'm very sure.", "Nikki: Great. We'll see you in a bit.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: You want me to hit you?", "J.T.: Yeah, I do. Let's go down to the Rec center. Let's go a couple of rounds.", "Mac: J.T...", "J.T.: No, it'll be good for him, Mac. Get some of this anger out.", "Kevin: Yeah, maybe. I remember that time I sparred with Mikey. I felt a lot better afterwards.", "Mac: Don't do it, Kevin. There are better ways to deal with your emotions, you know? You were raised with violence. (Cell phone rings)", "Mac: You know that's not the way to handle things. (Ring)", "Kevin: Mikey, hey.", "Michael: Kevin, I need you to meet me at the hospital.", "Kevin: The hospital? Why?", "Michael: Uh, Tom has been shot. They don't know if he's gonna make it.", "Kevin: Why, what happened?", "Michael: Look, I'll tell you everything when I see you. I'm heading over there now.", "Kevin: Okay, I'm on my way. You're not gonna believe this.", "Mac: What is it?", "Kevin: Tom's back in town. And, um... he's been shot. I have to get down to Memorial.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sheila: Hi, you've reached Brenda's voice mail. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for calling.", "Scott: Hey, Brenda, it's me. Um, I know I haven't gotten back to Toronto like I said I would. But something really terrible happened. Uh, there was an explosion on my mom's boat. And she's missing-- presumed dead. Uh, listen, I'm... I'm feeling really alone right now. I'm kind going out of my mind. I could really use a friend. I'd like to talk to you. You've always been there for me. And I'm hoping I can count on you now. So give me a call, okay?", "Paul: Good job. That should do it. She's obsessed with you. And if we're gonna catch Sheila, we gotta draw her out of the woodwork. And, you, Scott, are the best lure we've got.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sheila: Do you hear any sirens?", "Lauren: Not yet, but soon.", "Sheila: Yeah, yeah, right. You know, S.W.A.T. is gonna come crashing through that door at any minute. You give Tom way too much credit. You know, I practically lived with the man for months. And he is weak, Lauren, just like you. The only person he's capable of saving is himself.", "Lauren: He needs me.", "Sheila: Oh, do you honestly believe he wants to see you and Michael live happily ever after? He despises Michael more than anything in this world. And he should. Michael set him up on those drug charges.", "Lauren: That's bull.", "Sheila: Right. You know what? When you get out of here, why don't you go ask Ashley Abbott? She was your husband's partner in crime. If he didn't convince her to plant those drugs on Tom, you wouldn't be here right now. Yeah, that's right. You've got your darling Michael to thank for this.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Telephone rings)", "Gloria: John? Memorial hospital? Yes, this is Mrs. John Abbott. A car accident? I'll be right there.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chris: Ashley, the longest you would have to stay here would be one night. There's no way a judge could keep you here beyond tomorrow morning.", "Ashley: I don't wanna spend the night in here one night. I need to be there when my daughter wakes up in the morning. She's with Brad tonight. But I'm supposed to pick her up first thing. And I need to be there, Christine.", "Chris: Okay, I understand. I'll do the best I can. I will. Now as your attorney, you have to tell me what happened in that alley? Did you shoot Tom Fisher?", "[NEXT_ON]", "Nick: I'm gonna back off on Brad. This time I mean it.", "Chris: I advise my client not to answer.", "Troy: Well, maybe she'll be more cooperative after a night in jail.", "Jack: I would rather live on the streets than be in a partnership with Victor Newman." ]

Why did it fail?", "Avery: It didn't work.", "Phyllis: Oh, it--you couldn't. You couldn't. What happens when you just can't make it work with Nick?

Don't you have a new brother to hate?", "Nick: You know, its comments like that that just show your true colors. You can't run from it forever, and someday, even Chelsea's gonna figure it out. Look, I just came to get some food and go home. I really think you should eat and run.", "Adam: [Chuckles] Speaking of a guy who has to move on...", "Sharon: Just be careful, Adam. You and I are a lot alike when it comes to holding on to something that makes us happy. It's like there's this voice inside of our head that says we don't deserve it. And then when something's come along for me that's good, I have often sabotaged it. So don't let that happen to you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jill: It's all right. I didn't actually expect a gift this year.", "Billy: I'm sorry, Mom.", "Jill: [Chuckles]", "Billy: I didn't actually get around to buying presents this year. Can I interest you in a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle?", "Jill: No, that sounds just awful.", "Billy: Yeah. You're probably right.", "Jill: [Chuckles]", "Billy: How was your Christmas?", "Jill: It was pretty quiet. There wasn't that foghorn growl of Katherine's.", "[Both chuckle]", "Billy: Mom.", "Jill: Although -- no, I did sense her presence there because of the stupid music box.", "Billy: Oh, yeah. What -- what ever happened to your trip to investigate that stupid music box?", "Jill: Oh, Lord. I spent thousands, Billy -- thousands of dollars, countless hours I will never see again -- and I turned up absolutely nothing.", "Billy: So you're telling me there's no secret compartment full of diamonds or a map to find the fountain of youth in that thing?", "Jill: Fountain of youth? Please. It's taken years off my life.", "Billy: Well, there must have been a good reason for Katherine to leave it to you.", "Jill: Seriously? I'll tell you what I think it was. She was sending me a message that I have to stop hoping for some windfall to drop into my lap and that I should make my future myself, which, my son, I am in the process of doing, 'cause I'm gonna be a player again. I'm gonna be on top of the corporate ladder. You just watch me and see.", "Billy: If that's what makes you happy, then more power to you. Just, uh...stop and appreciate what you have along the way, you know? You can't take anything for granted.", "Jill: Oh, Sweetheart. You're gonna find your way through this. I know you will.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Gloria: Did I say something wrong?", "Kevin: \"I know you had a horrible Christmas\"?", "Chloe: She's right. I did.", "Gloria: See?", "Chloe: I don't think that your mother was trying to be insensitive, and, honestly [Sighs] I could get upset about anything that anyone says to me these days. I mean, I cry when I'm in the car and I hear Delia's favorite songs. I cry when I see people eating her favorite ice cream. I cry when I hear her favorite word. [Chuckles] \"Scuttlebutt.\"", "Kevin: That always cracked her up.", "[Both chuckle]", "Kevin: That and, um, \"Rumpus.\"", "Chloe: Oh, and what about when she used to mispronounce words? And she said, \"Mom, you need a nap. You look zezausted.\"", "Kevin: [Chuckling] Yeah. Remember the year I was Dracula for Halloween, and she said I was, \"Scarwied.\"", "Chloe: Oh, you were, \"Vewy scarwied...\"", "Kevin: Well, especially --", "Chloe: ...Later that night.", "Kevin: Yeah, when I came to suck your blood.", "Chloe: Oh. [Chuckles] [Sighs] We didn't get to celebrate Halloween this year.", "Kevin: We'll do it big-time next year.", "Gloria: I knew it. You two are back together.", "Kevin: Mom.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Courtney: When was the last time you went skating?", "Noah: It's been awhile.", "Courtney: Why? You live right next to a lake.", "Noah: Oh, well, that was kind of the problem. I fell through the ice.", "Courtney: Noah! That's awful.", "Noah: Oh, no. I mean, it was, but you don't want to hear that story.", "Courtney: No, I mean you should have told me. We totally could have gone to the movies or something.", "Noah: Oh, you were so excited about going skating. I didn't want to let you down. Besides, I had fun. I always have fun with you.", "Courtney: I was kind of starting to worry you were getting sick of me.", "Noah: No. Not yet, anyway.", "Courtney: Hey! [Chuckles]", "Noah: What is there to get sick of? I have so much more to learn... like this mystery family that I still haven't met yet.", "Courtney: Trust me, you don't want to.", "Noah: But I do. I want to know everything about you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: You didn't have to wait for me and then make sure I got home.", "Nick: I wanted to apologize. Perhaps I was a little overzealous in trying to defend you.", "Sharon: Especially since you didn't need to be. But I appreciate your concern.", "Nick: I don't trust Adam, and I never will and, I think, with good reason.", "Sharon: I won't let down my guard with him, if it makes you feel better.", "Nick: It does.", "Sharon: But, you know, when he was talking about Chelsea earlier, he really seemed like a completely different person.", "Nick: No, Sharon.", "Sharon: No, all I'm saying is that knowing that people can forgive and forget the bad things that happen between them gives me hope.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: Billy.", "Billy: Adam.", "Adam: How you doing?", "Billy: [Inhales deeply] [Sighs] Do you really want to know? No, I did not think you did. Oh, um [Clears throat] Actually, will you be kind enough to thank Chelsea for that, uh, Christmas present that she gave Johnny? That you clearly know nothing about.", "Adam: Things have been kind of busy.", "Billy: Yeah. I bet. We all know that you two are just strangers passing in the night. She's only holding on to whatever you guys had so she can hold on to Connor.", "Adam: Not anymore.", "Billy: Oh, really? That's great. So, a big happy family now, right?", "Adam: I'm a lucky guy.", "Billy: Connor doing okay?", "Adam: [Inhales deeply] Yeah, he's doing good.", "Billy: No complications with the transplant?", "Adam: None.", "Billy: Then life is beautiful, isn't it? Hold on to it. I mean, if Chelsea can forgive yor all the stuff you put her through, then, well, I guess anything's possible, right? Yeah.", "Adam: Maybe it's just the universe allowing me to balance the karmic scales.", "Billy: Hold on. Um, what did you just say?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jill: Billy's attitude -- I mean, his whole demeanor -- it's different. It's somehow lighter. Of course, this could be wishful thinking on my part. Except -- no, I don't think it -- there's been some change for the better.", "Esther: Oh, well, I hope that's the case.", "Jill: I mean, he's still struggling. That's to be expected.", "Esther: I'd worry if he wasn't.", "Jill: But I sense in him a desire to reconnect with life. He didn't even really mind me giving that puzzle to Johnny.", "Esther: Oh, you mean the one you bought on the Mensa website?", "Jill: It doesn't hurt to start them young, Esther. You get those little brain synapses firing, okay? I fully expect Johnny to take over Chancellor for me one day.", "Esther: It's Newman-Chancellor, and you're not even a part of it.", "Jill: I will be, okay?", "Esther: Mm-hmm.", "Jill: What's that? I didn't see that before.", "Esther: Oh, I don't know. We must have missed one.", "Jill: It's to me. It doesn't say who it's from.", "Esther: Well, don't look at me.", "Jill: Wow. I really do have a secret Santa. I wonder what's in it.", "Esther: Ooh, be careful. It could be fragile.", "Jill: You're right. You're right. All right. Let me just open it. I love surprise gifts, don't you?", "Esther: Yeah.", "Jill: No! You got to be kidding me! I just threw this eyesore out! This is the music box that will not die.", "Esther: Really, I had nothing to do with it. Cross my heart.", "Jill: [Sighs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Courtney: This is incredible.", "Noah: Mm. I could stay here forever.", "Courtney: I was talking about the hot chocolate.", "Noah: Hey!", "Courtney: [Chuckles] We're even.", "Noah: So, is this what it's like in your family -- you're always teasing each other?", "Courtney: You're not gonna stop until I tell you something about them, huh?", "Noah: Nope. So you might as well start talking.", "Courtney: [Chuckles] Okay. So, I have a mother and a father and an older sister. Satisfied?", "Noah: Do -- do you all hate each other, or what?", "Courtney: Um, my sister and I were close when we were young, but...", "Noah: It's hard when that happens, isn't it? I mean, I still think of Summer as my sister, but it's not the same. And Cassie -- I mean, that was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do -- losing her. After she died, my parents split up, and I don't know -- I guess I started expecting everybody to leave. I've had years to deal with my abandonment issues, okay? [Chuckles]", "Courtney: You know, you don't have to do that. You don't have to make light of something like that -- not with me. I don't need \"Easy,\" Noah. I like that you can trust me to say exactly what you're feeling.", "Noah: As much as I appreciate that -- I do -- we were talking about you, so...", "Courtney: [Chuckles]", "Noah: ...Why don't you trust me like I trust you and tell me what happened to your sister?", "[Cell phone chimes]", "Courtney: Sorry.", "Noah: No. Go ahead.", "Courtney: [Sighs]", "Noah: What's going on?", "Courtney: Um, it's nothing.", "Noah: Zach?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: I don't understand. What's the problem?", "Billy: What were you just talking about right then?", "Adam: Forgiveness -- the universe allowing me another chance.", "Billy: No, no, no, no. That's not the phrase you used. You said, \"Balancing the karmic scales\" -- the universe was allowing you to balance the karmic scales.", "Adam: Yeah, it's a common expression.", "Billy: Not that common.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Gloria: Okay, what have I done to offend you now?", "Kevin: Do I really need to point it out?", "Gloria: Oh, come on. You're not embarrassed because I figured out that you two are, you know, canoodling?", "Kevin: You're wrong.", "Gloria: You are embarrassed?", "Kevin: We're not canoodling!", "Gloria: Okay, whatever you say. Of course not.", "Kevin: Will you straighten her out?", "Gloria: [Sighs]", "Chloe: Gloria.", "Gloria: Hmm?", "Chloe: We are not together. We are actually just really good friends.", "Gloria: Oh, come on, Chloe. I have eyes. I have ears.", "Kevin: And a grande boca.", "Gloria: [Scoffs] You two may say you're only friends, but from where I'm sitting, it looks and sounds like love.", "Kevin: Well, then get a little bit closer.", "Gloria: Any fool can read between the lines.", "Kevin: Did she just call herself a fool?", "Gloria: Mm. Careful how you answer that, lest you incur the wrath of your once-and-future mother-in-law.", "Chloe: Okay. You know what? I think that's my cue, and I am gonna get that coffee I came in here for.", "Kevin: You are a coward.", "Gloria: Angel, why are you fighting me on this? We both know you want to be with Chloe.", "Kevin: Mom, even if I do, she's in a very vulnerable place right now. I don't want to scare her off.", "Gloria: She doesn't seem that scared.", "Kevin: Not until you started in with your matchmaking routine. You know, Mom, there is a thing called tact. You would really benefit from learning about it.", "Gloria: Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm. And what is Chloe thinking, leaving this purse wide open? Somebody could come along and snatch something out of it.", "Kevin: Like you?", "Gloria: [Clears throat] Chloe.", "Chloe: Mm-hmm?", "Gloria: What is this? Are you and Chelsea designing baby wear now? As a part of the team, I think I should be informed of these things.", "Chloe: Uh, no, that's not one of ours.", "Gloria: Oh. So whose is it?", "Kevin: I think that's Connor's, right? What are you doing with his clothes?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Courtney: How did you --", "Noah: Hear about Zach? Summer. She mentioned that he's a member of your family and he's pretty messed up.", "Courtney: Yeah. He is. That's why I don't really talk about him much.", "Noah: So, he's not another guy in your life? Summer admitted that that's what she thought at first.", "Courtney: No. There's nobody but you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Gloria: I hope you don't think I was snooping.", "Kevin: She was snooping.", "Gloria: Your bag was wide open. Fortunately, I saw it before somebody robbed you blind.", "Chloe: Okay.", "Kevin: You didn't answer the question, though. What, uh -- what are you doing with Connor's onesie in your purse?", "Chloe: Oh, I-I don't know. I must have accidentally picked it up when I was at her house yesterday.", "Gloria: [Chuckles] How? [Scoffs]", "Chloe: Oh, I -- oh, we were going over like a million swatches, and it must have just slipped in when I put it in my purse.", "Gloria: Well, that makes sense, and Chelsea will probably be looking for it, so give her a call.", "Chloe: Yeah. I will.", "Gloria: Okay. I'm off to the spa.", "Kevin: The sp-- you just got back from Bora Bora.", "Gloria: And your point is? Angel, call me when you hear from Fen, and, you, call me when you two start to canoodle.", "Kevin: Ugh, Mom!", "Gloria: [Singsong] Buenos días!", "Chloe: [Sighs]", "Kevin: I mean, really. Here you go.", "Chloe: What's that for?", "Kevin: Well, you just said you were gonna give Chelsea a call, so...", "Chloe: Wow. You don't believe that it was an accident. You think that I deliberately took something of Connor's?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: Congressman McKinney.", "Billy: What? Who?", "Adam: He's on the ways and means committee. \"Balancing the karmic scales\" is his latest talking point.", "Billy: I didn't realize you followed politics that closely.", "Adam: I do when it involves money of mine -- if I'm gonna make a lot or lose a lot -- and this guy's in a heated debate right now where I could stand to make a lot of money or lose a lot. So, \"Karmic\" this, \"Karmic\" that, all the over TV -- must have stuck in my head.", "Billy: I guess it must have.", "Adam: This choice of mine to use that expression -- why all the questions?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Okay, I admit I did help Faith with this a little bit, but she did most of it on her own.", "Nick: You know, I love that she's so independent. I mean, she is a kid who knows what she wants. That's because of you, you know? She is learning by example from you.", "Sharon: Well, I am trying to be an excellent role model for her.", "Nick: You are, and Adam was right before. You can pick your own friends. You don't need me stepping in, trying to run your life.", "Sharon: You're not. I've been the one making all the decisions. You're just voicing your opinion.", "Nick: Well, I don't want to give you mixed signals, you know? I just -- you know, because we, uh...", "Sharon: Kissed.", "Nick: Yeah. It's important that we're clear with each other. Sharon, I respect you too much. I don't want to be careless with your feelings.", "[Door opens]", "Noah: Hey. Guess I should have knocked.", "Nick: [Sighs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jill: Why do you keep turning up again and again and again like a bad penny...or like nuclear waste? What do I have to do to get rid of you? Do I have to put you in a rocket ship and blast you to mars? [Sighs] [Chuckles] Leave it to you to find a way to bring this waste of space back to me, huh? Oh, you were always trying to improve me, to change me in some way, like that ridiculous bowling ball you gave me a couple of years ago. [Chuckles] \"You need a hobby, Jill. You need someplace to put all your anger.\" Right...like knocking over a few pins was gonna make me feel real good. I'll tell you what did make me feel good, though -- it was when I threw that bowling ball at that statue in the garden you had. It was hideous. That made me laugh. You didn't speak to me for a couple weeks after that. It was the most peace I'd had in a long time. [Sighs] [Sighs] Christmas wasn't really Christmas without you this year. You know, it's like my first Christmas without Santa Claus. Everything seemed the same, you know, and we hung the same stockings, and we ate the same food [Sighs] But it was just a holiday, you know? [Voice breaking] All the magic was gone. Katherine, I need to know why that thing keeps turning up over and over again. Is that your doing? Because if it is, what is the meaning of it? Every time I think I've figured out why you willed me that cheap knock- off, then I change my mind again. So I need a little help here, okay? You know what, you could come to me, maybe in a dream, or just whisper it on the wind. But help me. [Normal voice] I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. That's too easy. I got to discover it for myself, don't I? Okay, old girl. Then that's what I'll do. That's what I'll do. I'll make it my new year's resolution. I will damn well, once and for all, get to the bottom of this.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Don't start.", "Noah: Start what?", "Sharon: You know what. Your father and I don't need any more comments about what's going on between us.", "Noah: Oh, so there is something going on?", "Sharon: No, that's not what I said.", "Nick: Just leave it alone, all right? You made your point. Give us some credit for being experienced enough to learn from our mistakes.", "Noah: Mm. When have I heard that before?", "Nick: That's enough. When you've experienced as much as we have, then you can comment.", "Noah: Well, I'm working on it -- getting that experience.", "Sharon: Oh, is that why we barely saw you yesterday?", "Noah: Yeah, sorry about that. I, uh -- I was -- I was just having the most amazing time with Courtney. She's, um -- she's amazing.", "Nick: Two \"Amazings.\" Wow. Things must be getting serious.", "Noah: Yeah. Definitely.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "[Footsteps approaching]", "Courtney: Hi, Zach.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: No, I-I want to know. What are you accusing me of, exactly?", "Kevin: Nothing. I'm not accusing you of anything.", "Chloe: [Scoffs] Yes, you are. First I was a kidnapper. Now I'm a stalker. Is that it?", "Kevin: No. God, no. You're blowing this way out of proportion.", "Chloe: No, you're the one who's blowing this out of proportion, and I resent you for it.", "Kevin: Chloe.", "Chloe: I'm out of here.", "Kevin: Where are you going?", "Chloe: I'm going over to Chelsea's, and I'm gonna return this so she doesn't think that I've lost it like you do.", "Kevin: Wait a second. Just listen to -- Chloe, come on!

That's why I questioned you.", "Adam: Well, these kind of messages -- they come in and out of the public consciousness. Before you know it, people are quoting it.", "Billy: Yeah. Must be it. I'm sorry.", "Adam: Not a problem. See you later.", "Billy: Not a problem.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Devon: There's been a mistake.", "Jill: Starting with the day that Katherine left all her money to you.", "Adam: I'm afraid that I'm gonna have to bow out.", "Jack: I thought you wanted payback.", "Adam: There's something I want even more.", "Victoria: Feels so good to have things back to normal." ]

Tobias visits Victor to discuss the formula and how he filmed the papers with the formula. Adam and Sage walk into the park. Sage lets Adam know that Constance's will is all in order. Sage asks Adam how he feels about what Constance told him about Victor killed his father. Adam tells Sage that it will be his pleasure to make Victor pay for what he did to Gabriel's father. Dylan and Avery are at Crimson Lights when Nick comes in to join them and thanks them for letting him come there the night before when the lights went out. Nick calls it a miracle that Crimson Lights was the only place in town which did not lose the lights. Joe and Michael meet at the Athletic Club and discuss the project. Michael lets Joe know that he will have to find other legal representation since he was stepping down as their legal counsel. Joe blames Lauren for getting to him and changing his mind about the project. Dylan shows Nick a T-shirt that he just made to gain support for his cause. Avery joins them and tells Nick that there will be no custody hearing that instead they will have a mediation hearing next week. Adam tells Sage that Victor thinks that he can toy with everyone's life. Sage asks if anyone has ever been able to beat him. Adam asks Sage what she will gain out of all this. Sage reminds Adam that she is all he has. Victor lets Tobias know that the formula that he filmed is used to make tequila. Tobias threatens to quit his job at Jabot, but Victor urges him to stay on to gain Ashley's trust. Michael stops by the Coffeehouse to witness for himself the miracle that occurred the night before. Michael lets Avery and Dylan know that he dropped Joe as a client. Avery and Dylan are surprised by Michael's sudden change of attitude. Joe drops by Victor's to fill him in that Michael dropped him as a client. Joe asks Victor what his family will think when they find out that he is behind this project.

What did you guys do to survive?", "Jack: We ended up at crimson lights.", "Ashley: Yeah, I heard it was the only place in town that didn't lose power.", "Jack: Yeah. That must be why half the town showed up there, including Victor Newman.", "Ashley: Uh-huh.", "Jack: Well, actually, he was on his best behavior for a change.", "Ashley: I'm sure -- probably 'cause he thinks he's pulling something over on us.", "Jack: Why would he think that?", "Ashley: Because my lab assistant, Tobias, has been secretly taking pictures of our files and handing them over to Victor.", "Jack: What?!", "Ashley: It's okay, though.", "Jack: I told you we needed to beef up security and that Victor wanted intel on this new project of ours. If he gets the jump on us --", "Ashley: He's not going to.", "Jack: We have a chance to take Jabot to a whole new level -- a level we never dreamed of.", "Ashley: Okay, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. You think you have to remind me of this? You don't think I know what's at stake, like my future as co-CEO of Jabot? This is so important to me, believe me. I'm not gonna let anything get in my way.", "Victor: You're late. Come in.", "Tobias: I got here as soon as I could.", "Victor: Well, you're lucky my wife isn't home.", "Tobias: If this is about the formula I stole from Ashley's files, I hope it was useful.", "Victor: It was.", "Sage: Well, that went well, huh? The attorney was very reassuring, don't you think?", "Adam: Well, it's his job to be reassuring.", "Sage: Well, you may not care, but Constance will be relieved to know that her will is in order. We don't need any more surprises at this point. What?", "Adam: Were you really in the dark about my father?", "Sage: What, that he was behind the taking over Mr. Bingham's company? Yeah. I was as shocked as you were.", "Adam: So, you had no idea that Gabriel's dad was driven to suicide?", "Sage: Why would I keep that from you?", "Adam: [Sighs] Well, where I'm from, everyone has secrets.", "Sage: Well, I think it's good that Constance kept this one, after what Gabriel went through when he lost his father. If he knew the truth... it's no wonder Constance seemed to overnight.", "Adam: Well, that's my dear old dad for you -- toxic to every life he touches.", "Sage: You know, for once, I'm glad you're not Gabriel.", "Adam: Why?", "Sage: Because Constance wants Victor Newman to suffer for what he did, and Gabriel wouldn't have had it in him to do it. You, on the other hand -- you're very capable of it.", "Adam: Oh, it'll be my pleasure.", "Avery: Couldn't get enough of us after yesterday?", "Nick: I actually wanted to thank you for letting me spend the day here.", "Dylan: Dang! I forgot to lock the door.", "Nick: Hey, you got to be quicker than that. I mean, the sign said, \"closed,\" but you can't always believe what you read.

Hopefully people will realize what this place means.", "Avery: Well, you've definitely got the press talking about you. They're calling what happened here \"a Christmas miracle.\"", "Nick: Well, I mean, come on. Your place is the only joint in town with electricity and without a generator. I mean, I knew this place was always special. A lot of magic happened for me here, but what went down yesterday -- wow!", "Avery: Yeah.

Thanks. Yours?", "Joe: Yeah, it was good. You know, I worked, but I'll rest once you get the green light on this project, huh?", "Michael: Yeah. Uh, I need to talk to you about that.", "Joe: Great. Then we're in sync. I was just getting ready to head over to your office. There's a paragraph in the purchase agreement that needs to be reworded.", "Michael: You're gonna need to find someone else to help you with that. I quit.", "Joe: You quit, just like that, in the 11th hour? You're gonna leave me high and dry?", "Michael: If you check your inbox, you'll find that I've already e-mailed you the names of attorneys who can more than meet your needs.", "Joe: And why leave? Why now?", "Michael: Well, I've given it a great deal of thought, and I finally came to the conclusion that it's best for everyone.", "Joe: It's best for everyone or best for your wife?", "Michael: My wife?", "Joe: You know, when I met with Lauren, she was very enthusiastic about this redevelopment project, and I haven't heard from her since. So, I can only assume that Dylan and his group of supporters got to her, which, in turn, got to you.", "Michael: I can assure you that has nothing to do with my decision.", "Joe: And so that's it? Nothing more to say?", "Michael: That's all you need to know.", "Joe: If we increase your rate, would that persuade you to reconsider?", "Michael: For me, it's not about the money.", "Joe: You know, there's a huge potential here, Michael. This could secure your entire future.", "Michael: Joe... good luck on your project.", "Dylan: First thing this morning, I had these made up.", "Nick: \"Where the lights are always on for you.\" I dig it.", "Dylan: All right. Anything to help the cause and get the word out. Like you said, this place is magic.", "Nick: Yeah. I always thought so. But my last big moment here, proposing to Sharon here, wasn't so magical.", "Dylan: Well, you did a really nice and good thing Christmas Eve, showing up at Sharon's place.", "Nick: Hey, any excuse to dress up like Santa, right?", "Dylan: Right, 'cause it's so much fun putting on a fat suit and a scratchy beard.", "Nick: Hey, don't knock it till you try it.", "Dylan: And you didn't have to stay afterward, either, but you did, and I can see how much that meant to Faith.", "Nick: I hope so.

Did she set a date for our custody hearing?", "Avery: Uh, there's not gonna be a hearing.", "Nick: What?", "Avery: Her honor mandates that we seek mediation instead.", "Nick: Mediation? Can she do that?", "Avery: Yes. It's not uncommon, especially when both sides are so far apart. She's hoping that it will temper your emotions.", "Nick: When is it?", "Avery: Next week.", "Nick: Oh, cool. The sooner we can get this thing going, the sooner we can all get on with our lives.", "Dylan: I know this is a tough situation. Just remember, when you're in the room with all those lawyers, just remember how you and Sharon worked together over the holiday.", "Nick: Yeah. I'm not gonna act like a big jerk, if that's what you're thinking.

They failed.", "Sage: You, too?", "Adam: [Clears throat] Well, it'll be different this time. Victor's a force to be reckoned with, for sure, but he's not without his weaknesses. And I know them better than anyone. This time he won't see me coming.", "Sage: Well, I just hope that it happens before Constance... it would bring her a lot of peace.", "Adam: What about your peace?", "Sage: My peace?", "Adam: Yeah. You're always so concerned about Constance. Have you ever stopped to think about what it is that you want out of all of this? I mean, you seemed pretty calm at the attorney's office when they said that I stand to inherit the bulk of the estate.", "Sage: Well, I wasn't surprised. It's not like she left me with nothing.", "Adam: Well, it's hardly a fortune. I mean, it doesn't burn you up, I mean, just a little bit? You've spent most of your life taking care of this old lady.", "Sage: Okay, let's just be clear right now. This old lady isn't leaving you anything. It's all for Gabriel. So, if you want to keep on being him, you stick to the deal we made.", "Adam: Don't threaten me.", "Sage: Oh, I'm not threatening you. I just want you to remember that I can reveal your identity at any time, so do not push me. Don't forget, I'm all you have right now.", "Jack: I know you feel you have things handled, but you've already given Victor an inroad.", "Ashley: I have done no such thing, Jack.", "Jack: He has pictures of your files, ash! For all we know, he has the formula to your serum!", "Ashley: Okay, would you please just calm down?", "Jack: Don't tell me to calm down. You don't understand. Nobody understands. My life finally makes sense, after a year of hell. I'm not gonna let it be upended again. Now, what did you tell Victor's minion before you fired him?", "Ashley: I didn't fire him. I don't need to.", "Jack: What do you mean, you don't need to?", "Ashley: Because the only files that Tobias has had access to are bogus. So, if Victor tries to make something up out of them, he's gonna end up with split pea soup. Feel a little bit better now?", "Jack: I should have known that you wouldn't put the company at risk.", "Ashley: Was that an apology? I'm just wondering.", "Jack: Yeah. That was an apology. With all due respect, though, keep your guard up with Victor. You may have won this round. He's not gonna let it end here.", "Victor: I had the formulas you brought me analyzed. It seems they're working on a product that involves an ethyl alcohol compound.", "Tobias: There are probably a million uses for something like that.", "Victor: Mm-hmm, but they added a few impurities that stem from a plant -- a native plant of Mexico... agave.", "Tobias: Interesting. Do your chemists have any idea what it could be used for?", "Victor: Yeah. Tequila.", "Tobias: I-I beg your pardon?", "Victor: You heard me. It's used to make tequila. So, either they found out what my drink of choice is or they're playing you for a fool.", "Tobias: No, no, no. That's impossible. Ashley could not have possibly known.", "Victor: Yes, she has, and she can. You bet.", "Tobias: I'm sorry. Mr. Newman --", "Victor: Just remember that my ex-wife is a very bright lady. You're not the first young man who has lost a battle of wits with her, okay?", "Tobias: I'll turn in my resignation this afternoon.", "Victor: Oh, no. I don't want you to do that.", "Tobias: But if she's on to me --", "Victor: No, I want you to stay where you are. I want her to feel that she is in control. Just pretend to be an idiot.", "Tobias: I can do that.", "Victor: Oh, I'm sure you can.", "Michael: Well, I was headed back to the office, and I thought to myself, \"I have got to stop by crimson lights and see it for myself.", "Avery: See what?", "Michael: The place where miracles happen.", "Dylan: You heard about that, too?", "Michael: Everybody has. I have a feeling you are about to become one of the biggest attractions in all of Genoa City.", "Avery: Well, we can only hope.", "Michael: Hmm. I would like to have your largest cup of coffee, please. I want whatever it is you're putting in the water.", "Dylan: Good, old-fashioned pride of ownership.", "Michael: Well, for what it's worth, people have taken notice, and I think they're on your side.", "Dylan: Now we just have to get the planning commission on our side.", "Michael: Well, you know what? Miracles will go a long way to making that happen.", "Avery: You sound happy about this.", "Michael: Shouldn't I be?", "Avery: Not if you're representing the opposition.", "Michael: Ohh. Well, if there was a conflict of interest, there no longer is. I dropped Joe as a client today.", "Avery: You did?", "Michael: Mm-hmm.", "Dylan: Wow. The good news just keeps on coming. I'm just glad we don't have to go up against you.", "Michael: I don't need that kind of karma, especially now.", "Avery: Why? What's going on?", "Victor: So, Michael Baldwin walked, did he?", "Joe: Yes, he did.", "Victor: Hmm.", "Joe: Does he always leave his clients high and dry?", "Victor: Not to my knowledge. Please have a seat. Huh. He's a brilliant lawyer, but there are others who can take his place.", "Joe: Hopefully one with the clout to see this project through.", "Victor: Yeah. Listen, since the district was not declared a landmark, what's holding up the sale?", "Joe: Well, we're waiting on city permits, and, unfortunately, your friend the mayor has yet to assist as expected.", "Victor: Why hasn't he?", "Joe: Bowing to community pressure, I suppose. You know, now with all this media coverage on this Christmas miracle at crimson lights, it's not gonna help.", "Victor: No electric surge is gonna prevent me from selling that damn property.", "Joe: What happens when your family finds out that you're behind this, that you sold the building out from underneath Dylan and cost him his business? Is that gonna be a problem for you?", "Ashley: Do you really think that you have to warn me about Victor? Don't you think I know better than most people what he's capable of?", "Jack: Then you agree that he will likely match your brilliant move with one of his own.", "Ashley: Absolutely, Jack! He loves the game too much! I know that!", "Jack: Particularly when he has a worthy adversary.", "Ashley: Okay. Well, this adversary is ready for any and all Victor moves, okay? I've worked too hard on this product. If I'm gonna have to stand guard at this lab, I will 24/7, except for maybe new year's eve. I'll take a couple hours off and give you that shift.", "Jack: What, and miss the chance to ring in 2015 with Phyllis? Not on your life.", "Ashley: You could bring her with you.", "Jack: Yeah, that'd work out real well. \"Hey, Phyllis, how 'bout we spend our first new year together in a laboratory?\" We'll pass. Thanks.", "Ashley: So, does that mean that you're not gonna be going to the club, either?", "Jack: Well, considering that that was arranged by Kelly, I think we'll miss that, too. We'll leave the fireworks to the pyrotechnic experts. You know, I'd really just like to have a quiet evening at home with Phyllis.", "Ashley: This is so incredible -- I mean, to actually have somebody back in your life that you never thought you'd see again. I mean, what a way to start off the year -- right? -- So unexpectedly. You must think anything's possible.", "Jack: You have no idea. So, what about you? What are your new year's plans?", "Ashley: Well, I've got a date with my TV and big glittery ball in times square.", "Jack: No date?", "Ashley: Mnh-mnh, and I'm gonna keep it that way.", "Jack: Talk like that and you might as well tough it out here in the lab after all.", "Ashley: I might.", "Jack: Don't you dare. All work and no play --", "Ashley: Oh, no, no, no. Don't you call me \"dull.\"", "Jack: Oh, God forbid. Ashley, outside these walls are lots of lovely people who would love to spend time with you. Isn't that what you and Traci told me last year?", "Ashley: We did make you come out with us, didn't we?", "Jack: It worked out pretty well for me. You need a break, too. Come on. Get dressed up. Ask somebody to go out with you. Do some dancing. Drink some champagne.", "Ashley: Maybe next year.", "Jack: Ash!", "Ashley: Don't worry about me. I'm okay. You have enough on your plate.", "Adam: You really believe that -- that you're all I've got?", "Sage: Who else do you have -- Bugatti? Even man's best friend doesn't trust you.", "Adam: [Chuckles] You know the first mistake people in a supposed position of power make? Overestimating their importance.", "Sage: Where are you going?", "Adam: You don't need to know. Find your own way home. I'm taking the car.", "Sage: What?! Come back here! Come on!", "Nick: Hey. Hey. You okay? Who was that?", "Michael: I can actually taste the difference in your coffee. I mean, there really is something spiritual going on. It's amazing.", "Avery: Uh-huh. Yeah. Now, what about my question?", "Michael: Your question?", "Avery: Yeah. Why are you trying to avoid negative karma?", "Michael: I thought everybody tried to avoid that.", "Dylan: Yeah, but you said you didn't need it in your life, especially now.", "Avery: Did something happen?", "Michael: Duh. Christmas happened. Opening presents yesterday morning with Fenmore and Lauren and seeing the joy on their faces and hearing their crazy laughter... it put me in mind that I almost let that all slip between my fingers. It just shows you that you have to make the most of what you have while you have it because it could be all gone in an instant. Like Phyllis -- here she was, a force of nature one second, and the next...", "Avery: Well, thank God we have her back.", "Michael: Yeah, but it makes you think about what's important in life. And it's certainly not representing people and causes that I don't believe in.", "Avery: Michael, you've always said it's all about business.", "Michael: That's not enough. Don't you think? I mean, I have to believe that I was put on this earth for something more than earning a salary. And, well, you know, helping people like Joe and his investors rob you of something you put your whole heart into -- I'm not gonna do it.", "Dylan: Thank you, Michael.", "Avery: Yes. Thank you so much.", "Michael: Oh. Oh. Whoa! What is -- what is that? Is that what I think it is?", "Avery: Oh. Um, well, I've been meaning to tell you, but we've both been so busy. Yes, Dylan and I are getting married.", "Michael: Oh, my -- congratulations!", "Avery: Thank you!", "Michael: Congratulations!", "Avery: Well, it took us a while, but we finally got there.", "Dylan: Just proves you should never give up.", "Michael: Well... I wish you both a long and happy life together.", "Avery: Thank you. [Chuckles]", "Victor: Just so that we understand each other, you'd do well not to delve into issues that are none of your concern.", "Joe: I didn't mean to overstep. I've just known people that have backed out in the 11th hour as a result of personal conflict of interest.", "Victor: Don't you worry about a damn thing. No one knows that my holding company owns that property downtown.", "Joe: Or that's your hope.", "Victor: They won't know... unless someone tells them. Now, you won't do that, will you?", "Joe: Well, you won't hear it from me. I didn't get where I am today by breaking confidences.", "Victor: Then you sell the damn property and everything will be cool. Got it? You have a nice day.", "Sage: Where did you come from?", "Nick: Sorry. Sorry if I startled you. No. I just, uh -- I just -- I didn't -- well, we have been running in to each other. I should have figured we'd cross paths at some point.", "Nick: Yeah. What was that earlier? Who was that guy?", "Sage: I just had a disagreement with a friend.", "Nick: Well, whatever he said to you, it seems like it got to you.", "Sage: No, it's not something that he said. Um... someone very close to me is dying, and, um... why am I telling you this? You don't even know me.", "Nick: You saved my life. That's all I need to know.", "Sage: Yeah. I don't need to dump my problems on you right now, so...", "Nick: Well, I kind of did that to you the other day, so it's your turn. And my two greatest skills in life are listening and pretending to listen, so...", "Sage: Is that right? Which one do I get?", "Nick: Well, you're gonna have to give me a shot to find out. I could buy you a hot chocolate.", "Sage: With marshmallows?", "Nick: Don't push it.", "Sage: [Chuckles]", "Nick: Is there any other way to have hot chocolate than with marshmallows?", "Sage: [Chuckles] Thanks, Nick.", "Nick: Sure. Uh... you know, you've never told me your name.", "Sage: Sage.", "Nick: Sage. All right. I'll, uh -- I'll be right back.", "Adam: I've been waiting.", "Jack: I was wondering when you were gonna show up.", "Adam: No one's home, Jack. I've already checked.", "Jack: Come on.", "Adam: Sorry I haven't been in touch.", "Jack: What the hell are you thinking, Adam?! You drop a bomb on me like that and then you disappear?", "Adam: I haven't been able to make it back here until just now. And don't call me \"Adam.\" I'm Gabriel Bingham from now on, remember? Now, I need to make sure you're not gonna reveal my true identity to anyone.", "Jack: I have thought of little else since the last time I saw you, and I've come to a decision.", "Adam: Good. Tell me you're gonna help me, Jack.", "Ashley: Were you checking me out?", "Joe: Well, when I see a beautiful woman, I can't help myself.", "Ashley: Joe Clark, you haven't changed at all.", "Joe: Ashley Abbott.", "Ashley: [Laughs]", "Joe: Damn, it is good to see you.", "Ashley: Hi.", "Sage: It just happened out of the blue, or at least it felt that way. No one wants to think their time with someone is limited.", "Nick: Who is she to you?", "Sage: She's my guardian. She took me in and raised me when my parents died.", "Nick: Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry. The other day, I told you to tell me that your parents were divorced and you turned out great. What a terrible thing to say at the wrong time.", "Sage: Oh, God, no. No. You didn't know.", "Nick: I'm sorry.", "Sage: It's all right.", "Nick: I can't imagine what you're facing, having to say goodbye to the one person in your life who never left you.", "Sage: I think we got to go get some more marshmallows.", "Nick: Well, you -- you obviously love her very much.", "Sage: I do. She was like a mother to me in some ways but not in others. I guess it's true what they say about blood. It does matter... 'cause there was always this -- this thing in the way, this boundary that I couldn't cross. I mean, she let me in, but I could only go so far. And just knowing that her end is near...", "Nick: Hurts like hell to have to say goodbye. It's too bad your -- your friend there could have been more supportive.", "Sage: Oh, no. He's, uh -- he's very upset. The woman who's dying is his grandmother, and... we're just on edge. He just deals with it in a different way.", "Jack: This isn't easy for me.", "Adam: Yeah. I understand. Put yourself in my position.", "Jack: No, I tried. I keep coming back to the same thing -- we have to tell the authorities that you're alive.", "Adam: Let's -- let's just slow down here for a second. I think I understand what's going on. You're in shock, Jack. You're in shock. You've become accustomed to an idea of dead Adam Newman.", "Jack: It has nothing to do with that.", "Adam: Why don't you give yourself a couple of days to regroup, okay?", "Jack: I'm not going to change my mind.", "Adam: Jack...", "Jack: I can't set aside what you did with Delia. Even if it was an accident, you didn't come forward! You didn't tell anyone! Billy searched for months for the driver! He was obsessed with it -- so obsessed, he ignored his marriage! He and Victoria could be together now if you'd just come forward! And Chloe -- think what you did to Chloe! She had no place for her pain or anger! It drove her to an institution!", "Adam: Are you trying to get me to suffer? Is that what you want, Jack? Because I'm already there. I'm already there. I am riddled with guilt, and I wake up every morning from a nightmare starring Delia. There aren't enough apologies or jail cells in the world to make what I did right. Nothing is ever gonna make it right. But my actions cost me everything, too -- almost cost me my life, and maybe there's some justice in that. But, Jack, I've been given a second chance here with Gabriel -- a second chance. Now, I'm asking you -- I'm begging you -- please... help me bring some kind of positive into the world. Help me be a part of Chelsea's life, a part of my son's life.", "Jack: You haven't earned \"happily ever after,\" Adam! I am happy you're alive.", "Adam: Yeah.", "Jack: I really wish you hadn't told me. I had -- I wish you hadn't dumped this on me.", "Adam: I had to tell you, Jack. You're the only one I can tell. You're the only one I can trust. I got no one else, Jack. We were like family, damn it. Have you forgotten that?", "Jack: No, I haven't forgotten.", "Adam: Well, then, show me some compassion -- a modicum of understanding, of forgiveness! My God, Jack! You, of all people, should be able to do that! When Stephanie wheeler O.D.'D in this room, who'd you call, huh? Did you call Phyllis? Was Billy on your speed dial?", "Jack: No. No. I called you.", "Adam: No. You called me. And what happened? I came. I came straightaway, and I did everything that I could do to help you out, right? I kept your secret at my own expense, and then when you came forward and you wanted to tell everyone the truth, who was standing there right beside you? Well, that was me, too, wasn't it? I never left your side, Jack -- not once. I wouldn't have. And did you go to prison for what you did? No, because as horrible as that was, it was an accident. Jack, I had your back when you were at your absolute worst, and I stood right by your side when you could barely hold your life together. I never turned my back on you. And you don't get to turn your back on me now.", "Michael: So, I'll see you back at the office?", "Avery: Uh, no, probably not. My meeting is at the athletic club, so, uh, I'll just call you -- let you know how it goes.", "Michael: Yeah, good. Thanks. I'm gonna get some cream for this, and... congratulations again.", "Avery: I love how excited everybody is for us.", "Dylan: Well, it's only gonna get crazier from here.", "Avery: Oh. Well, then, we should plan on some quiet time, just the two of us.", "Dylan: I'm all for that.", "Avery: Yeah? Dinner tonight, just the two of us?", "Dylan: I can't think of anything I would like more, except for maybe dessert.", "Avery: Ohh. Then I'll be home early.", "Dylan: Mm-hmm.", "Avery: Very early. Mmm. Bye.", "Dylan: Bye.", "Dylan: What if things never do settle down? What if it's just -- just life? I-I think it's okay... because together, you and I -- we can -- we can handle anything. We can handle the good, the bad, and whatever else comes our way. But all I know is I want to face it with you, wherever our future takes us.", "Dylan: Hey, uh, Michael, can I talk to you? I have a favor to ask.", "Michael: Well, I'm guessing it doesn't entail legal advice, since you can get plenty of that at home.", "Dylan: [Chuckles] No. Its, uh -- it's been one thing after another for a while, and I think Avery and I could use some time away. I mean, we've been places for the weekend, but we've never been on a real trip.", "Michael: So, you want my advice -- somewhere private, somewhere romantic?", "Dylan: Uh, actually, I think a little bit more than that. You know, I thought once we get a resolution to the whole redevelopment situation, I'd like to take Avery on an extended vacation.", "Michael: Hmm. How long do you have in mind?", "Dylan: Maybe a month. I mean, that means that most of the workload would fall on you. So, I guess what I'm asking is, could you swing that, or is it too much for you to handle?", "Ashley: Thank you. So, how long has it been, anyway?", "Joe: Too long. But you look just as stunning as the day that we said goodbye, which, by the way, I still haven't gotten over.", "Ashley: I guess we'll always have New York, right?", "Joe: Yes, we will. What -- what brings you to Genoa City? Are you visiting family?", "Ashley: Permanently. I've been back for a few months.", "Joe: Wow. I wish I'd have known. I've been here for a while myself.", "Ashley: Really? What are you working on?", "Joe: Representing a group of investors who are looking to redevelop the warehouse district.", "Ashley: Wow. That's you? I've been so busy at Jabot, I had no idea you were involved. It's kind of controversial, isn't it?", "Joe: Yeah. Enough about that. Let's talk about you. You know, I've wondered about you from time to time.", "Ashley: Sure, you have.", "Joe: No, I'm serious. We had a good thing going until you just up and disappeared on me.", "Ashley: Yeah, well, you know life. Things happen.", "Joe: Yes, they do. And, as luck would have it, here you are, sitting right across from me.", "Sage: That hit the spot. So did our talk. Thanks.", "Nick: It's the least I could do.", "Sage: I should go. I think my friend's probably cooled down enough to take my call, and we have to get back to the grandmother.", "Nick: Well, I really hope the end is peaceful.", "Sage: Me, too. What's her name?", "Nick: Who, Constance?", "Sage: Just seeing if you're listening or pretending. Thank you.", "Nick: Sure. Well, if you need anything else, you know where to find me.", "Sage: Yeah. I'm sure we'll bump in to each other anyway.", "Nick: I hope so. Bye, sage.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Sage: Hello? Oh, no. [Gasps] [Crying]", "Jack: I will always be indebted to you for standing by me.", "Adam: Oh, that's sweet. That's really great. And now's your chance to prove it. Reintroduce me to Genoa City as Gabriel. Help me sell my story, Jack. Once I'm established, I will cut off all ties with you if that's what you want. Just be there up front.", "Jack: You're asking too much.", "Adam: I'm not asking too much. I'm asking to be with my family.", "Jack: What about my family?! Delia was my niece! I could not live with myself if you walked free!", "Adam: Well, could you live with yourself if you sent me to prison?", "Jack: It's too late, Adam. You gave me no choice. I have to turn you in.", "Victor: Listen carefully. Um...Ashley has discovered that her new lab assistant is spying for me, but don't be concerned about it. No, I want her to continue feeding her with misinformation. That will give you a chance to get ahold of the real formula and deliver it to me. You got it? Okay. You have a good day.", "Joe: Wow. We should get together -- go out and do something fun -- that is, if you're available.", "Ashley: Well, the only relationship I'm committed to these days is the one I have with my lab.", "Joe: So, that's a yes?", "Ashley: Yeah. Let's go do something. What are you doing new year's eve?", "Joe: Hopefully spending it with you.", "Ashley: Okay. It's a date.", "Dylan: I don't mean to put you in a tough spot, so...", "Michael: No. Of course you haven't -- not at all. Look, I will cover for Avery. No problem.", "Dylan: Are you sure?", "Michael: [Chuckles] What's the worst that can happen? I come home too late to see the news. I mean, with everything going on in the world, who needs to see that stuff every night, you know? So go. You have yourself a honeymoon to remember.", "Dylan: Well, it's not a honeymoon, per se. Avery and I haven't even set a wedding date.", "Michael: Well, what are you waiting for?", "Dylan: [Sighs] Things are crazy right now. We're just, you know, kind of waiting for things to slow down.", "Michael: [Chuckles softly] Dylan... things never slow down. This is life. You're running the gauntlet here, dodging whatever the universe has to throw at you. Hopefully, you'll come through relatively unscathed, but most people don't, so that's why you grab every good moment you can.", "Sage: The doctor called. Your grandmother's taken a turn for the worst. This could be it. We need to get to her now. I need you to call me back. Please, call me back now. God. I have no idea where he is. He's usually a lot more responsible.", "Nick: Well, I can help you find him. I don't think you're in any condition to drive, and my car's right over there.", "Sage: Okay. Thank you.", "Nick: Yeah.", "Adam: Don't call the police.", "Jack: I have to. And there's nothing you can say to make me change my mind.", "Adam: Well, how' bout this? If you send me to prison, your brother Billy goes, too.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Lily: If he didn't have Hilary, he wouldn't have just thought about drinking.", "Neil: I saw my shadow.", "Phyllis: You saw?!", "Neil: Okay, shh.", "Adam: Want to know why Billy made it home safe and I didn't? This is why -- Billy shot me." ]

It's what you used to do.", "Nikki: Brought back such wonderful memories. You know what my favorite moment was?", "Victor: What?", "Nick: When Christian sneezed on the yams?", "Victor: [Laughs]", "Nick: That was pretty disgusting, dude.", "Nikki: No. I'm talking about when you took him over to Sharon and Dylan's house. And that just meant so much to me, and I know how much it meant to them. It's really in keeping with the holiday spirit. I'm hoping that it could mean a new beginning for you and your brother.", "Sharon: Hey. How was your run? Is it as glorious out there as it looks?", "Dylan: Yeah, it's fine.", "Sharon: Fine?

But it's back to the grind and this auction.", "Hilary: Yes. Jack, I just want to thank you so much for making me the host. I know that I've said it before, but it does bear repeating. The foundation, it is doing such amazing things.", "Jack: It promises to be an amazing evening. Apparently Neil has found this really terrific place down in the arts district.", "Hilary: I know. I sent him there.", "Jack: Oh, I didn't know that. Well, I haven't seen it yet. I guess it's just a real departure from a normal corporate setting.", "Hilary: Exactly. I mean, originally he wanted it at the club, but I feel like that place can be a little stuffy sometimes, so I thought this would be a fun way to loosen everybody up and hopefully loosen up their purse strings.", "Jack: Ooh, I like the sound of that. Listen, before we get into that...", "Hilary: Coffee, please.", "Jack: Well, yeah, actually that. I ordered you a cappuccino.", "Hilary: Thank you.", "Jack: No, I wanted to talk to you about Barry, my friend. I spoke to him briefly about how your meeting went. He was very impressed with you. No surprise there. But I wanted to know how you felt about things. Everything good?", "Hilary: Well, let's just say that Christmas came early this year.", "Lily: Please tell me this is a joke.", "Devon: Can't do that.", "Lily: So you just let Hilary get away with it.", "Devon: No, I confronted her about the job offers.", "Lily: No, you mean the made-up job offers. She lied to you.", "Devon: I'm aware of that, and I was very upset when you told me.", "Lily: So why didn't you let her have it?", "Devon: I did. That's what I'm trying to tell you. We talked. We had a very deep, meaningful conversation. We faced the real problem that got us to this point in the first place, and it was eye-opening. It really was. We discussed things that we've never discussed before, and I can't tell you how important it was for us to have that conversation. So if you think about it, you gave Hilary and I the greatest Christmas present we could ask for, and I thank you.", "Ashley: This is incredible.", "Ravi: I know.", "Ashley: How did you do it so fast?", "Ravi: I've been working 24/7. I haven't left my apartment in two weeks. Maybe longer. What -- what day is it?", "Ashley: What about Christmas?", "Ravi: I'm not a complete workaholic. I took off a few hours Christmas Day and watched \"Scorpion,\" you know, to stay relevant.", "Ashley: I really appreciate your devotion, but I think you've taken it just a little bit too far.", "Ravi: It's how I'm wired. When I'm on a project, I'm all in. I knew scaling up the app was a priority for you.", "Ashley: Huge.", "Ravi: So I've been working around the clock to help you.", "Ashley: I'm so grateful. You know, um, I was thinking... never mind.", "Ravi: Is -- is something wrong? Did I screw up?", "Ashley: No. Are you kidding? You're amazing. You've been working so hard, you probably need a break.", "Ravi: You saw some areas to tweak.", "Ashley: Yeah, just a couple. And the beta needs testing, too, and I know that you are the most qualified, but if you have just been pushed to your limit, I can get somebody else from the team to do it.", "Ravi: What? To revise my code? No, let me do it. I'll run the testing. I'll make the adjustments. Whatever you need.", "Ashley: Are you sure?", "Ravi: I know how important this is to you. Consider it done, ms. Abbott.", "Ashley: Ashley, please. Ravi, you're just the best.", "Victor: Isn't that magnificent? Imagine one day this will all be yours. If your daddy keeps on saying no, he doesn't want to follow in daddy's footsteps, then this will all be yours. You better grow up fast, okay? You will be the heir apparent. That's right. Think of that. A wonderful world awaits you.", "Nikki: What do you think your father's whispering about to the baby over there?", "Nick: I'll give you one guess.", "Nikki: Handing him the keys to the kingdom.", "Nick: Lucky for me he can't open that lock for another 17 years or so.", "Nikki: [Chuckles] Nope, he's got a lot of growing up to do.", "Nick: Who? Christian or dad?", "Nikki: Oh, stop it.", "Nick: [Chuckles] You're right. He does. And I'm gonna soak up every minute of it.", "Nikki: Mm-hmm. Except for the tantrums. And I'm still not talking about your father.", "Nick: [Laughs]", "Nikki: Now, I know you don't like me harping on this, but...", "Nick: Then don't, mom.", "Nikki: I can't help it. I want to know. So when Dylan opened up the door and there you were holding the baby on Christmas Eve of all nights, he had to have a lot of emotions.", "Nick: Yeah, he was, uh, he was pretty overwhelmed. So was Sharon.", "Nikki: What a wonderful gift to give them.", "Nick: It wasn't a gift. Just felt like the right thing to do.", "Nikki: It was the right thing to do.", "Nick: Well, don't look too much into it, all right? It was, you know, Christmas Eve, and... Christmas is over. We're on to new year's. And I, for one, can't wait. I got big plans for my little boy.", "Sharon: Hey. I know the visit was short. And yes, it was hard to say goodbye.", "Dylan: Again.", "Sharon: But getting to spend that time with Christian, holding him, making him laugh. My God, that smile of his, it just lights up the world.", "Dylan: Yeah, that was always my favorite thing about sully.", "Sharon: Christian.", "Dylan: What?", "Sharon: You just -- you called him sully. Not that I don't slip up all the time, believe me. I just think that, you know, we should get in the habit.", "Dylan: Yeah, right. Don't want to upset nick.", "Sharon: No, this really has nothing to do with nick. I don't want to confuse the baby. His name is Christian, and his best interest is what matters, remember?", "Dylan: [Sighs] Yeah, I need to get going.", "Sharon: What? No!", "Dylan: Yeah, get to the coffeehouse, run some errands.", "Sharon: Hey. Mariah is at work. We have the house to ourselves. And I'm not gonna go to work today. Why don't we put in a movie and make some popcorn? Or, you know, it's so beautiful outside. We could walk around the lake.", "Dylan: I won't be long. I promise.", "Sharon: Okay, well, I'm gonna hold you to that, detective. Dylan! You're okay, right?", "Dylan: Yeah. Yeah, I'm great.", "Jack: Well, I'm glad to hear things are back on track for you and Devon. I'm sure the folks at GC buzz are much relieved.", "Hilary: Yes, I think that work will be a lot smoother from now on.", "Jack: Well, here's to your new job. Oh, and your new home.", "Hilary: Oh, we have to have you over at some point soon.", "Jack: I would love that.", "Hilary: And to a successful New Year's Eve benefit. May the foundation be rolling in donations.", "Jack: Oh, hear, hear.", "Hilary: Okay, come on. Bring it on. Let me see what you got.", "Jack: Okay.", "Hilary: Wow.", "Jack: I know, I know. It's a lot of material.", "Hilary: Yeah, I'm thinking that maybe I should work on the teleprompter.", "Jack: Yeah, I was thinking that, too. I don't know much about teleprompters. I can get one there. I just don't know who would operate it.", "Hilary: Oh, no, I can get somebody at GC buzz to do it. They know the drill. It'll be seamless.", "Jack: How about that? Teamwork at its best.", "Hilary: Jack, I want to thank you again. I will never forget the favor that you did for me. And, you know, I was thinking that maybe we can figure out a way to work in the JabotGo app in our upcoming episode.", "Jack: Ooh, I like the sound of that. Now, Ashley would be the point person on that.", "Hilary: Okay, I will give her a call. What?", "Jack: I don't know. This -- this friends helping friends. Same goal, working together. Just feels right. It's the way it should be.", "Hilary: Words to live by.", "Lily: Thank you. Have a good day. Bye. Sorry about that.", "Devon: Oh, no, it's fine. It's your job. I'm sure your boss wouldn't mind. You know, Lily, if you have something you want to say to me, you can say it.", "Lily: I don't know. I just thought this would be the one thing that would open up your eyes to who Hilary really is.", "Devon: Well, let me tell you, my eyes are wide open. I know who my wife is. And I get it. I get why you have a problem with it.", "Lily: If you know who she is, why are you with her?", "Devon: [Sighs] Can I ask you a serious question?", "Lily: What?", "Devon: Do you want me to be miserable?", "Lily: What?", "Devon: Do you want me to be unhappy and alone?", "Lily: Come -- of course not. Please.", "Devon: Well, it doesn't seem to me like that's the case.", "Lily: I'm trying to help you.", "Devon: If that was the truth, you'd be happy that I worked things out with Hilary, okay? But you're not happy. You're giving me a hard time for trying to hang on to my marriage.", "Lily: That is not what I'm doing!", "Devon: It's exactly what you're doing! And you know what that says to me? It says that this is not about me or trying to protect me. It's about Hilary and trying to tear her down any way you can.", "Lily: You mean the way that she tore our family down since day one?", "Devon: There's my point. I think that you need to figure out how to get over that.", "Lily: She lied to you. Look me in the eye and tell me that doesn't bother you.", "Devon: Of course it bothers me. But like I've told you, we talked. We worked it out like couples do.", "Lily: [Scoffs]", "Devon: But that's not enough for you, obviously. You're not gonna be satisfied until she's completely out of the picture, and I'm sorry to tell you -- that's not a choice you get to make. It's my life.", "Neil: Hey, what, what? What's going on here? Hey.", "Devon: Hey. I, uh, I'm sure Lily will fill you in on everything, but I, uh, have a meeting with my wife. I'll see you guys.", "Sharon: There he is. Look at that face and that smile. [Chuckles] Who needs Christmas lights when this guy's around?", "Dylan: I could stare at that face all night long.", "Sharon: And all day.", "Nick: I hate to cut this short. But it's past his bedtime. We should probably go.", "Sharon: Definitely. We both know how cranky he gets when he's off his schedule.", "Dylan: Santa's gonna spoil you like crazy tomorrow, isn't he? Just remember the best gift you can give or receive is right here.", "Nick: Look, I'm glad you got to say merry Christmas to him. But, Dylan, it's time.", "Sharon: Um, thank you. Thanks for bringing him by. Nothing could have brightened my night, our night, more than this. Right, Dylan?", "Nick: I'll take him. Merry Christmas.", "Sharon: You, too, nick. Did that just happen? Did I just get to hold our little boy, or am I dreaming? Wasn't that great, Dylan? Dylan?", "[Doorbell rings]", "Dylan: Hey.", "Nick: Hey, man. What's going on?", "Dylan: Uh, you know, just doing some things around here. Kind of neglected this place over the holidays.", "Nick: Yeah.", "Dylan: He's crashed out, huh?", "Nick: Totally out.", "Dylan: He always loved sleeping in that stroller, that kid.", "Nick: Well, can you blame him? I mean, what would you do if you were just sitting there, people pushing you around all day? [Chuckles]", "Dylan: Hey, thanks again, uh, for bringing him over on Christmas Eve. Obviously we didn't expect it, but we really did appreciate it.", "Nick: Yeah, man, I'm glad.", "Dylan: Christmas went well?", "Nick: Yeah, it was okay. How was yours?", "Dylan: It was quiet.", "Nick: Yeah. Were you, uh, taking off?", "Dylan: Yeah, uh, just running some errands and get home to Sharon.", "Nick: All right, I'll, uh, I won't keep you.", "Dylan: Hey, nick. Um, I-I know you have your hands full, you know, with work and the baby, and I just -- I wanted you to know if you ever need any help with Christian, even if it's last minute, just want you to know that I'm available.", "Nick: [Sighs] Hey, listen, uh, I think I've got enough help, you know, for Christian between my mom and the nanny and summer, Chelsea.", "Dylan: Yeah, I know you got a lot of hands on deck. I'm -- I'm just saying if something came up.", "Nick: Yeah, I think -- I think we're gonna figure it out. Thanks.", "Dylan: Oh. Okay, well, I just thought, you know, after Christmas Eve...", "Nick: Yeah, that was a one-shot deal, okay? I don't want you to think that was an invitation to change the rules.", "Dylan: Uh, the rules aren't really etched in stone. I mean, you make the rules. You know, there's no restraining order anymore, so I don't know what's -- what's the harm.", "Nick: Look, I don't want to confuse him any more than he already is. The judge was afraid of that, too, remember? He needs to know who his parents are and who they aren't.", "Dylan: Obviously we're gonna make that clear.", "Nick: Dylan, the answer is no. Look, you were his dad for a year. And we're just starting to get into a groove. If you spend a lot of time with him, it could derail things. So I got to say no. It's not a punishment. I just got to look out for my son.", "Nikki: So, how was your Christmas?", "Sharon: It was nice. Thank you. Faith told me how much fun she had. I'm sure the ranch house seemed like grand central station.", "Nikki: Oh, yes. We were very, very busy. But I did miss seeing Dylan. Is he here?", "Sharon: No, he just went to crimson lights.", "Nikki: Oh. Well, all right, then.", "Sharon: Maybe if you just called first next time.", "Nikki: I'll do that.", "Sharon: You know why Dylan didn't join you for Christmas, don't you?", "Nikki: Yes, I do, Sharon. But at least he got to see the baby. I was very proud of Nicholas bringing him over here. I'm sure it was a wonderful surprise for you.", "Sharon: It was. We didn't expect that at all.", "Nikki: Almost like a Christmas miracle for you and Dylan.", "Sharon: Yeah. Right.", "Nikki: Did something happen?", "Sharon: No, no. It was lovely, and I was grateful. I'm still very grateful.", "Nikki: But...", "Sharon: It was nothing. I just... I hope that there are no... after-effects. You know, Dylan and I still have a very long road, but we're starting to settle in. We're not used to sully -- Christian not being here anymore, but we are starting to accept it. We're getting a look at what life might look like now. So just saying goodbye again is difficult, that's all.", "Nikki: Nicholas made a beautiful, selfless gesture, one that I'm sure will help he and his brother get closer together.", "Sharon: Maybe.", "Nikki: Really, Sharon. Why must you always be so negative?", "Lily: Guess I could have been more sensitive. God, that woman just drives me crazy. She manipulates her own husband to get what she wants, and his response is, \"oh, here's a penthouse for you and your job back.\"", "Neil: Hmm. Um, Lily. It's not your problem.", "Lily: He's my brother. How can you not be worried about him?", "Neil: Well, because Devon's a grown man. And in the interest of not alienating your brother forever, my suggestion is that you dump all of your Hilary frustrations on me, 'cause you know something? I happen to make a pretty good sounding board.", "Hilary: I just hate pretending like everything's fine when it's not.", "Neil: Okay, why can't you just be happy -- happy -- for your brother, you know? \"Tis the season to be jolly\" kind of thing.", "Lily: Bah humbug.", "Neil: [Chuckles] You're funny. Uh, I have a great idea. Let's change the subject. How about it?", "Lily: New Year's Eve benefit?", "Neil: Whoa, whoa, you read my mind.", "Lily: Yeah, I think it'll be a success, you know, that is if your guests can get over who's hosting it.", "Neil: Hmm. Lily.", "Lily: Sorry. It's a habit.", "Neil: Yeah, it's a bad habit. Maybe you should, uh, try to break it.", "Lily: Mm-hmm. Maybe. Anyway, um, I've helped with the decor and the catering. Anything else you need help with?", "Neil: No, actually, you've done a lot for us. Um, I think we got pretty much everything covered, although I do have a contract here for the venue that I'd like you to look over. I have a couple of questions.", "Lily: Whoa, whoa, wait. You're working with this guy?", "Neil: Yeah.", "Lily: When was the last time that you talked to him?", "Ashley: I'm so glad that we're getting in front of this. You know what they say. The best time to think about scale --", "Ravi: Is before you need it.", "Ashley: Exactly. Our servers, our database, everything has to be top notch. I don't want any glitches. I only want to do this one time.", "Ravi: So let's do it right.", "Ashley: [Chuckles] Exactly, again.", "Ravi: Looks like we'll be chained at the hip for the next few weeks. Maybe longer.", "Ashley: Yeah. You gonna be okay with that?", "Ravi: Oh, sure. We have to get through this project.", "Ashley: Yeah. Well, you know what? I can't think of a better partner.", "Ravi: So, I wanted to run something by you.", "Ashley: Uh-huh.", "Ravi: Given how I work around the clock, you never know what issues might come up.", "Ashley: Right.", "Ravi: That need your attention, I mean.", "Ashley: Uh-huh.", "Ravi: If I had your cell phone number, it would make getting in touch a lot easier.", "Ashley: Huh. You know what? I have an even better idea. Jabot has something called executive services, and that means they can get in touch with me 24/7 even if I happen not to have my cell phone. I'm gonna give you their number, that way you can always be in touch, okay?", "Ravi: Great.", "Jack: Thank you, Melissa. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I'll see you there.", "Ashley: Sounds like good news.", "Jack: Another full table purchased for the benefit. Things are really coming together.", "Mariah: Hey, Theo, I was thinking, the story about the downtown guy with all the money, I think it has legs. Maybe we could use it in a later broadcast? Also, thank you for showing me the comments this morning.", "Theo: Hilary always wanted to see them in the morning.", "Mariah: [Chuckles] Yeah, I'm sure she did. I'm sure she probably framed the good ones. But she isn't here anymore, and I promise you I would much rather see the script. My ego does not need that much massaging. Oh, and also I was wondering if we could tweak the last paragraph, mainly the last two sentences. I don't know, I don't think it's how I talk.", "Hilary: Excuse me.", "Mariah: Yes, Hilary?", "Hilary: You're in my chair.", "Hilary: Yes, that is right. I am back, which means that I am your boss again.", "Mariah: Since when?", "Hilary: Since now.", "Mariah: I'm confused, because you turned Devon down. Twice, if memory serves.", "Hilary: Yes, that's true, but my husband -- he can be very persuasive. What? You don't believe me? Here. Take a look at this.", "Mariah: Interesting. Is your name gonna be on the toilet paper, as well? Because that I think I could get behind.", "Devon: Hey, you guys.", "Mariah: Hey.", "Devon: Did you tell her the good news?", "Hilary: Oh, yeah. Sure did.", "Devon: Yeah. Obviously there's gonna be some changes.", "Mariah: Yep. I gathered that.", "Devon: But I think it's for the best because you were reluctant to be on camera again, and now you don't have to be, so it's a win/win, right?", "Mariah: Why stop there? I think it's a win/win/win/win/win. [Chuckles] It's okay. Hosting was never my endgame anyway.", "Devon: Exactly. That's why I knew there would be no hard feelings, but still we really do appreciate you agreeing to step in when we needed you.", "Hilary: But we don't need you anymore. Well, as a host. I mean, and yes, yes, thank you. But now I think it's great that we can all just move on.", "Mariah: We sure can. You know... let's see. \"Segment producer\" has a really nice ring to it, don't you think? And I hope you can find somebody to fill your coffee orders, because I'm really gonna miss fluffing your foam.", "Devon: Honestly, Mariah, agreeing to host in the interim was huge. I thank you.", "Mariah: Hey, don't sweat it. That hefty raise you gave me was its own sweet reward.", "Ashley: So we profile the database and we examine the slowest running queries with a focus on the queries that aren't using an index. And that was all done in the last hour.", "Jack: Wow.", "Ashley: Right?", "Jack: I don't understand a word you just said, but it certainly sounded impressive.", "Ashley: [Laughs] Well, all you need to know, Ravi's a genius!", "Jack: It certainly seems faster.", "Ravi: 28.7% faster, to be exact. But I'm confident I can get it up to 35.9%.", "Ashley: Hey, Ravi, would you excuse my brother and me for a minute? We just have to talk.", "Ravi: Top secret business stuff, huh?", "Jack: Yeah, something like that.", "Ravi: No problem.", "Ashley: Thank you.", "Ravi: Consider me gone.", "Ashley: What?", "Jack: Maybe you should get him a collar and a leash.", "Ashley: Oh, stop. It's not like that.", "Jack: Acts like a little puppy dog following you around, waiting for you to pat his head.", "Ashley: He's the smartest puppy I've ever known. He has a little crush. What's the big deal? We have to focus on the big picture, which is a hugely improved app with no scaling issues as it becomes more popular, which it will.", "Jack: I have no doubt about that, but I am still worried about Ravi's soon-to- be broken heart.", "Ashley: Oh, give me a break.", "Jack: I'm serious. What are we gonna do to scale down his ego?", "Ashley: First of all, it's scale up. And don't you have a charity event to plan?", "Neil: \"This downtown mover and shaker bailed on Genoa city, leaving a trail of debt and bounced checks in his wake.\" You must be kidding me. Hang on a second. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Hey, Megan, it's me. Um, did you happen to go down to the warehouse yet? That's what I was afraid of. Um, no, thanks. I'll let you know if I need anything else. Bye. [Sighs]", "Lily: How bad is it?", "Neil: It's bad. My assistant, she said that every door is locked. There's a sheriff's foreclosure notice taped on the door. This is the biggest fundraiser of the year, and I don't have a venue!", "Lily: Dad, I'm sorry.", "Neil: [Sighs] How did this happen?", "Lily: I'm sorry. We would have it here, but we're fully booked.", "Neil: No, I know. New year's is a big deal around here.", "Lily: Yeah, we have an event in the conference room and dinner in the ballroom, and there's -- we've been taking reservations in the dining room for months.", "Neil: Come on, come on. I understand. And no room in the inn. And I'm guessing that every other place in this town is booked solid, sold out.", "Lily: What are you gonna do?", "Neil: I don't know. First up, I got to go break it to Jack. I'll talk to you later, sweetheart.", "Lily: All right. Bye.", "Neil: Jack, I just toured the place last week. It was perfect. It was very downtown, very cool. Now all of a sudden it's got padlocks on every door.", "Jack: Unbelievable. And not a word from the landlord, if we're gonna call him that?", "Neil: No, nothing. And believe me, I tried. Phone's been disconnected. And word on the street is that he bounced out of town in a hurry. I'm sorry, Jack.", "Jack: It's not your fault. He duped everyone. But what do we do now? We got to come up with a new venue in a few days, on New Year's Eve no less? Everything's gonna be booked.", "Neil: Okay.", "Jack: I assume you've talked to Lily.", "Neil: Yeah, it's a no-go. New Year's Eve is one of the biggest nights of the year for them.", "Ashley: Hey, guys, um, I got to go, but I'm gonna keep my eyes and ears open for you, okay?", "Neil: All right, thanks. Thanks, Ashley.", "Jack: Okay, we got to look at our options. Boy, do I not want to reschedule.", "Neil: Jack, we put in way too much work. It's New Year's Eve, man. It's a huge social event. People are counting on us.", "Ravi: Ashley, can you hold up a sec? I have something I need to show you.", "Ashley: Ravi, I can't right now, but I'll talk to you when I get back, okay?", "Ravi: Okay.", "Ashley: Thanks.", "Devon: One more time, honey.", "Hilary: Devon, why? I have it down cold.", "Devon: 'Cause practice never hurts anyone.", "Hilary: You just want to hear me say \"sexcellent\" again.", "Devon: I do. I really do. But I am also concerned about the other words you have to say, so do it one more time, please.", "Hilary: You are so bad.", "[Both laugh]", "Mariah: Just think about the money, Mariah. You need the paycheck. Just smile, suck it up. Think about the money, the money, the money. Whoa.", "Theo: Heads up.", "Mariah: Sorry.", "Theo: Don't want you to trip again.", "Victor: Thank you.", "Nikki: What are you still doing here? I thought I would find you in your office.", "Victor: Well... hello, my baby. Sometimes I just like to get away from the office, you know, change things up.", "Nikki: Well, I thought the change was supposed to be you stepping back from the company.", "Victor: Well, that's exactly what I'm doing.", "Nikki: I'll believe that when I see it.", "Victor: [Chuckling] Well, believe it. So did you find Dylan?", "Nikki: No, I stopped by the house, but he was at crimson lights. Lucky me, I got to talk to Sharon.", "Victor: How pleasant was that?", "Nikki: Oh, she started spouting nonsense.", "Victor: She always spouts nonsense. Was it specific nonsense?", "Nikki: Oh, it was about what Nicholas did, bringing the baby by on Christmas Eve.", "Victor: I think that was a mistake.", "Nikki: Really? I think it was a lovely gesture. I think it was very compassionate of him.", "Victor: Sweetheart, the only one who needs compassion in this is the little boy.", "Nikki: Now, that's not true.", "Victor: Yes, it is.", "Nikki: Dylan is hurting, and I think Nicholas was aware of that and was trying to alleviate it.", "Victor: Well, did he? I bet you he caused nothing but problems.", "Nikki: Well, not necessarily.", "Victor: Well, then what did Sharon talk about?", "Sharon: Thanks for understanding, Chelsea. Yeah, I just thought that it would be better to work from home today. And I will get that sales projection e-mailed out to you ASAP. Okay, I'll talk to you later. [Sighs]", "[Door opens]", "Jack: No, no, thank you. I appreciate it.", "Neil: No, thanks for checking. Let me know if anything changes, all right? Thanks.", "Jack: Oh, it's worse than I thought. Every dive bar is booked right now.", "Neil: And every ballroom and banquet space, as well.", "Jack: I'd settle for a cafeteria right now.", "Neil: Hey, Jack, how about a high school gymnasium?", "Jack: Hey, you joke. It could be where we end up, unless we cancel.", "Neil: No, no, no. We need to keep trying. We're not gonna cancel. We're not gonna postpone. We're gonna do this if it's the last thing we do. Now, let's get going.", "Jack: Okay, what letter were we on?", "Neil: We're on, uh, \"N.\"", "Jack: \"N.\" Nancy's bar room. Come on through, Nancy!", "Nikki: Oh, Ashley.", "Ashley: Hi.", "Nikki: Hi. This isn't usually your restaurant of choice.", "Ashley: No. On occasion I get to this part of town. Anyway, I called Victor's office.

Hello there.", "Victor: Well, hello there. My office just informed me that you were looking for me.", "Ashley: Yeah, I was.", "Victor: Hmm.", "Ashley: I have a proposition for you.", "Victor: You do? Well, I'll be damned. Hmm.", "Nick: You know I love you, bud. I love you so much. You' left that reminds me of your mother. She was amazing. Can't even know how much I miss her. I know things have been confusing lately. It's been a lot of changes, huh? And I hope you know that I'm doing everything I can to be a great dad to you, to make you feel happy and secure. And that is my promise to you. I'm gonna do whatever I can to make sure that I'm the only dad you'll ever need. Yeah. I love you.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Neil: Here we are. It's New Year's Eve.

[ "Nikki and Victor decided to renew their vows to convince the public, including Nick, Paul and Christine, that their reunion was real. Victoria and Nick were on opposing sides regarding their parents' reunion. Victoria was pleased about the reconciliation, but Nick disapproved. Nick tried to convince Nikki not to go forward with the ceremony. Nikki told Nick that Victor wanted him to be at the vow renewal. Victor later told Nick that he actually didn't want him to be at the vow renewal, but he still urged Nick to come for the family and the company's sake. Nick agreed to go because it would make Nikki happy. Traci had a disagreement with Ashley about the board meeting and the way Jack and Ashley had been handling things. Billy had words with Jack over Jabot and the way he'd been treating Ashley. Jack lashed out at Billy and brought up Billy's past mistakes, including Delia's death. Jack told Ashley that he'd added the stipulation that only blood Abbotts could run Jabot because he'd been afraid Phyllis would fight him for the company during their divorce. Abby was upset that the Abbotts were fighting. Ashley consulted with Michael about the legality of the amendment, but he couldn't help because there was a conflict of interest. Jack learned that Ashley was thinking about fighting his amendment to Jabot's bylaws in court.", "Traci and Billy touched base and lamented the family drama. Dina struggled with confusion and thought it was Thanksgiving. When Jack's attempts to remind her didn't work, he left the house, shaken. Ashley opted to redirect Dina instead of correcting her. Jack was remorseful about hurting Ashley, and Traci assured him that it wasn't too late to fix this. Paul turned down Victor's invitation to the ceremony and made it clear that the investigation into Victor wasn't over. Paul warned Nikki that it wasn't a good idea for her to go back to Victor after all he'd done, but she paid no heed. Paul told Nikki that when Victor was eventually charged with something, she could end up being charged as an accessory. Victoria and Abby were pleased when Victor told them about the vow renewal. Victoria apologized to Abby for the way she'd treated her after the fallout from DesignDate. Victoria asked Nikki if she'd really be able to tell an audience that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Victor. Nikki said that they'd soon find out.", "" ]

You stole from me. I could have thrown you to the wolves, but I prefer to have you here.", "Nikki: Now I'm back at your side. And to the outside world, we will appear to be a very loving, happy power couple.", "Jack: It's an amendment I had added some time ago to jabot's corporate bylaws. \"Only a blood abbott can hold the title of C.E.O. Of jabot.\"", "Ashley: You can't do that.", "Jack: You're not taking my job from me, ashley. Not ever.", "Ashley: You son of a bitch!", "Abby: Mom, don't we usually wait until january 2nd?", "Ashley: This tree represents everything that our family is not, and I don't want to look at it anymore.", "Traci: 'Cause you're mad at jack.", "Ashley: Yeah. You think?", "Abby: Well, I still don't get why he added that idiotic amendment to the bylaws stating that only a blood abbott could run jabot.", "Ashley: Isn't it kind of obvious, abby?", "Traci: Look, rather than make assumptions, why don't you try talking to jack?", "Ashley: Because I don't trust myself!", "Jack: [ Panting ]", "Billy: Hey. I saw you from across the park. The way you sprinted that last quarter mile, I thought maybe you saw a family member you didn't want to see.", "Jack: See that bench over there? Might be a good place for you to stretch. This one's mine.", "Billy: Yeah. I figured you didn't want us around, especially after the way you scrooged ashley.", "Jack: I did what I had to do. And I'm not changing my mind.", "Nick: I mean, why do they make it so difficult to put these things together? It's like you need a mechanical engineering degree.", "Victoria: Where are the directions?", "Nick: Eh, they're right there, but it's supposed to be easy to assemble. I just -- I hate doing it. You know, I'm gonna tell the kids it's a do-it-your- own project. They'll love it. Uh, did you have fun at your christmas?", "Victoria: Low key but fun. How was yours?", "Nick: It was great. It was just with chelsea and the boys. You know, we opened some presents, sang some carols, ate way too much food, and watched christmas movies in a food coma.", "Victoria: Well, that sounds like the perfect holiday.", "Nick: Doesn't get any better than that.", "Victoria: Well, you know, i have noticed that you and chelsea are becoming quite the family unit, and I'm very happy for you, I have to say.", "Nick: Thanks. We had kind of a rough year, you know, but we made it through, and, uh, it feels good. Uh, what did you guys do to celebrate your holidays?", "Victoria: Oh, well, we had some company. I invited J.T. Over to spend the day with reed.", "Nick: J.T. Is still in town? I thought he was done with his audit.", "Victoria: Yeah, he is.", "Nick: Well, I would think he would want to spend christmas with mackenzie.", "Victoria: It turns out they're separated.", "Nick: Oh, really? Oh, man. When did that happen?", "Victoria: I guess they've been having problems for a while, but especially after becca was born. I didn't ask him very many questions. You know, I didn't want to pry or anything.", "Nick: Yeah. Two young kids. That's rough.", "Victoria: Yeah.", "Nick: Well, you and J.T., You know, you were able to spend the day together despite the divorce and bad blood. That's pretty cool.", "Victoria: Yeah, well, if, uh, mom and dad find it possible to reconcile, I think I can hang out with my ex for a few hours.", "Nick: [ Sighs ] Mom and dad. I mean, what is she thinking?", "Victoria: Beats prison time.", "Nick: Yeah, there is that.", "Victoria: He's obviously taking advantage of her predicament and used it as leverage to persuade her to move in.", "Nick: Persuade? That's pretty generous.", "Victoria: Yeah, I know. Well, here's the kicker. J.T. Filed the report blaming a bank error for the discrepancy, so legally mom's off the hook. She just didn't know it. And I couldn't contact her in time to tell her before she made this little deal with dad. And when she finally found out about it...", "Nick: Wait, hold up. Dad tricked her? I bet mom was mad.", "Victoria: Yeah, you'd win that bet.", "Nick: Do you think it's gonna last this time? And that is sarcasm if you can't tell.", "Victoria: I haven't talked to either one of them lately, so i don't know where things stand.", "Victor: You know, to be honest with you, I don't understand why you spent christmas eve with paul and christine williams. They're certainly not friends of ours right now. Why'd you do it?", "Nikki: It was very obvious what they were up to. They were trying to get me to turn against you, and I couldn't pass up the chance to do some recon.", "Victor: Oh? And?", "Nikki: They don't buy our sudden reconciliation. And they're going to keep investigating you until they find something they can charge you with.", "Victor: You're not telling me anything new right now.", "Nikki: Well, you asked.", "Victor: I guess what we're gonna have to do is work harder to convince them that we are back together.", "Nikki: Yeah, and a press release isn't gonna do it. We need to be seen out in public as a couple.", "Victor: [ Sighs ] Hmm. How about new year's eve?", "Nikki: I don't know. What do you have in mind?", "Victor: Let's get married again.", "Nick: Wait, you want mom with dad?", "Victoria: Before I clued her in about the audit, she looked happier than she has been in a long time.", "Nick: I don't get this at all. She was done with him when she learned about chloe and realized dad was responsible for adam's death.", "Victoria: He wasn'T. That was all her.", "Nick: That woman was certifiable. Dad exploited her. Don't make excuses for him.", "Victoria: Why do you always have to make him out to be a villain?", "Nick: I don't get this need of yours to always have dad's approval. You always defend him.", "Victoria: Well, what about you always throwing up a wall? Why do you do that, nick? Are you afraid you're not gonna live up to his expectations?", "Nick: Well, I don't like being controlled.", "Victoria: Oh, and I do?", "Nick: You seem to tolerate it a lot better than I do. You may want to look into that. Look, I am free of dad's orbit, and it feels great. I can breathe again. Mom has put in her time. She deserves the same. So don't judge her if she decides she's had enough and walks away.", "Victoria: Well, don't you judge her for staying and for loving him and standing by him no matter what.", "Nikki: A public ceremony to renew our vows. That's pretty good, 'cause then we can control the spin.", "Victor: Exactly. And dispel the rumor that we are no longer together and get rid of these very damaging investigations, you know.", "Nikki: The legendary couple who have overcome so much to find happiness again. The heart and soul of their community. And they want to give back.", "Victor: Something like that. Does that mean it's a yes?", "Nikki: It's mutually beneficial.", "Victor: And new year's eve is just around the corner, you know.", "Nikki: Well, lucky you, who happens to be married to a woman who has hosted umpteen galas and can throw a hell of a party.", "Victor: So, where do we begin?", "Nikki: Well, with the guest list, of course. I mean, we have an agenda. That's key. Let's see.", "Victor: Let's start with paul and christine williams. What do you think about that?", "Nikki: Wow. You know, they were the first ones to come to my mind, too. They can have front-row seats to our fairytale romance.", "Victor: And our children and grandchildren, I want them to be there. I want them to see that you and I are back in the position where we ought to be.", "Nikki: At each other's side.", "Victor: And think of the image for the media.", "Nikki: Yeah, especially if nicholas is there.", "Victor: That's not gonna be the case.", "Nikki: Why do you assume that?", "Victor: Because he does not want to be part of my family.", "Nikki: That's even more reason that he should be there.", "Victor: Why are you pushing this?", "Nikki: Look, I don't expect you and nicholas to suddenly forgive each other, but I think it's very important that he be at this recommitment ceremony so he can wrap his mind around our new arrangement. I'm not going to give up my relationships just because I'm with you.", "Victor: Well, my dear, if you think he's gonna be there, i think you're in for a disappointment.", "Nikki: Well, then you and i have to figure out a way to get him there. Nicholas' feelings for you are well-known. If he's there to witness our recommitment ceremony, it'll give us a hell of a lot more credibility.", "Billy: Come on, jack. This silent treatment is kind of ridiculous.", "Jack: You want me to make nice to you after you teamed up with ashley to vote me out of jabot?", "Billy: Out of the C.E.O. Chair temporarily, possibly.", "Jack: [ Sighs ]", "Billy: Come on, jack. Stop. Don't walk away. This isn't about taking sides.", "Jack: Oh, it's not?", "Billy: No! This is about doing right by the company and for your mother.", "Jack: What the hell do you know about what's right for jabot? Nothing!", "Billy: I know that picking the C.E.O. Shouldn't feel like succession to the throne, jack. Come on, we had the same father. Does that qualify me to run the joint?", "Jack: You and I both know you have no interest at all.", "Billy: I've done it before. I can do it again.", "Jack: That was eons ago. Let's look at history now. You bought brash & sassy. You mismanaged it. Jill came in and saved your butt by buying the company out from under you. Then she coerced victoria into running it, playing matchmaker.", "Billy: My mother's heart was in the right place.", "Jack: Do you know why she did that? The real reason? She was afraid, afraid that left to your own devices, you'd end up wasting your life, which is exactly what you're doing, squandering dad's hard-earned money, buying racehorses.", "Billy: Half a racehorse.", "Jack: It's like a drunk buying a bar. Oh, wait. You've actually done that.", "Billy: Why are you riding on me right now?", "Jack: Before you voted to oust me from a job I spent half my life doing, did you do any homework at all? Did you look into jabot's financials? Did you explore the projections? Did you ask me about any plans i had for the company? Hell no. You came to that meeting half-assed, the same way you do everything in your life.", "Billy: I don't need a bunch of spreadsheets to see that you've spread yourself too thin.", "Jack: Wrong. No, you've always hated me being C.E.O. Because you were jealous. You were always jealous. You always felt that you were the accident that you were. Well, you know what? Some people would take that challenge and they would make a mark in life. You have chosen to be a screw-up, using every excuse possible to justify your weakness -- your gambling, your bad choices, the death of your daughter!", "Billy: Yeah, you're right. I always look up to you. I've always been envious of you. You're the favored son, dad's golden boy. God, if he was here to see you now, treating ashley the way that you are, he'd hate it. It'd break his heart. Of course, he wouldn't say anything. I mean, he wouldn't raise his voice. He'd look you in the eye, you know, the way that he could, and he'd say, \"you're better than this, jack.\"", "Traci: Ashley, I know you're upset. We're all upset. But taking down the tree?", "Ashley: Should I have asked for a vote, traci?", "Traci: Oh, please. You know that what happened in the boardroom wasn't personal.", "Ashley: What I know is that jack has taken on too much. He can't cope with it. You said that yourself.", "Traci: [ Sighs ] But calling for a no-confidence vote and removing him forcibly as head of the company? It went too far.", "Ashley: Jack went too far. He's been making decisions based on his emotions for far too long. His actions are affecting the company, and by extension, every member of our family!", "Traci: There has to be a better way.", "Ashley: What?! Tell me! I would love to hear your analysis. How should I have handled this? That's what I thought.", "Traci: Ashley --", "Ashley: You know, you didn't say anything at the meeting because, you know, you didn't want to make waves, as usual. And I understand you went off to new york to start your own life, and that's great, but, you know, you come back here, and you just think everything's supposed to be nice and everybody's supposed to get along.", "Traci: What's wrong with that?", "Ashley: Nothing! Except sometimes you have to make an uncomfortable choice, traci! You can't always walk the fine line! You can't always be the peacemaker! Sometimes you have to take a stand!", "Traci: I thought I did by casting my vote!", "Ashley: Oh, now you're crying? So I guess what you're saying is that you're okay with that stuff that jack pulled, declaring to the world that I'm not an abbott?", "Traci: [ Sniffles ] No, I'm not okay with it! You're my sister! God, you practically raised me when our mother left us! You helped me through some really horrible, frightening times, and I will always be grateful to you! I will always, always love you, ashley!", "Ashley: Right now I need more than your gratitude, traci. I need more than your love. Can I count on you, please? I need you to support me as C.E.O.", "Traci: But the bylaws.", "Ashley: They can be changed.", "Traci: [ Sighs ] I'm so sorry. I cannot support something that is tearing this family apart.", "Ashley: Too late.", "Traci: [ Sniffles ] [ Sobs ] I'm -- I'm gonna be out for a while.", "Ashley: I think you should be out for a while. I think it's a good idea.", "Traci: [ Sobbing ]", "[ Door closes ]", "Abby: I'll support you, mom.", "Ashley: [ Sighs ]", "Abby: To my mom becoming C.E.O. Of jabot in the new year. And to the abbott family not imploding in the process.", "Ashley: I'm sorry. I know that what jack's done affects you, too. You know what? You have every right to be hurt and angry.", "Abby: You know, when I got back from europe, I was so naive. I made so many mistakes.", "Ashley: Well, you had a mind of your own. You still do.", "Abby: But no matter where things stood with my dad or the hurtful things victoria did to me, I always knew I had this family, something solid that i could be proud to be a part of. But if uncle jack, if he can treat you this way...", "Ashley: You know you're always gonna have me. You know that, right?", "[ Sighs ]", "Abby: Um, I have some things to take care of.", "Ashley: Okay, sweetheart.", "Abby: I love you.", "Ashley: I love you so much.", "[ Door closes ]", "Jack: We're putting away the decorations already?", "Ashley: It's over. There's no reason to pretend.", "Victor: Well, hello, paul.", "Paul: Hello.", "Victor: So unfriendly. I understand that you and christine had christmas eve dinner with nikki. Wish I could have joined you.", "Paul: You weren't invited.", "Victor: [ Chuckles ] I guess you didn't hear that nikki and I have reconciled.", "Paul: Oh, no, it was all over the press. The timing was, um, rather convenient.", "Victor: So why is that?", "Paul: Well, your audit comes up clean, and the next thing you know, your marriage is back on track.", "Victor: Well, all of your harassment, all these useless investigations have actually brought nikki and me back together again, so we have to thank you for it. And now you have a chance to celebrate with us. How's that?", "Paul: What are you talking about?", "Victor: Nikki and I will renew our marriage vows on new year's eve. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you and christine showed up, celebrated with us?", "Paul: It would be inappropriate.", "Victor: Why is that?", "Paul: Because further investigation into your business practices is pretty much a given. And you're not gonna use chris and me to add an air of legitimacy to this.", "Victor: So you won't be sending a gift?", "Nick: This is a joke, right?", "Nikki: No, it isn'T.", "Nick: You're gonna remarry dad on new year's eve?", "Nikki: Well, since we're already married, technically we're just renewing our vows, but I want all of the family there, and that means you have to --", "Nick: Yeah, mom, I know, okay? Vick told me the whole thing. Dad tricked you into moving home. You thought you were facing jail time, so he's using that against you.", "Nikki: He knew that it was only a matter of time before i found out that J.T. Did me a favor, so this was your father's way of forcing us to think about our lives and figure out what we really want.", "Nick: Mom, why? You have talked so many times about wanting to break free. This makes no sense.", "Nikki: [ Sighs ]", "Nick: Oh, okay. I get it. J.T. Was willing to look the other way. Dad might not. He could still have you arrested for diverting funds, so he was holding this over your head. Mom, listen to me. Whatever it takes to get you out of this, I'll do anything. Just ask.", "Nikki: Anything?", "Nick: Why would you go through with this ludicrous, pretend wedding thing? You just admitted he coerced you and he was threatening to have you arrested.", "Nikki: He won't carry out those threats.", "Nick: How do you know that?", "Nikki: Because I have just as much on him.", "Nick: Oh, okay. What a great reason to have your vows renewed. Mutual blackmail. Look, mom, you just got out. And I know it felt great. Admit it. You were back to your old self. You were freer than you'd been in years. That ought to tell you something.", "Nikki: Yes, that is true. I was willing to walk away for good, and your father knew it. He realizes that things have to change now.", "Nick: Mom, you say that every time.", "Nikki: No, no, he gets it. The balance of power has always been one-sided. And if we're gonna survive as a couple, we need to be on equal footing. That is why we're renewing our vows and reuniting our family.", "Nick: If this is what you truly want, well, then... [ Sighs ] I guess I want it for you. But I am not coming to your party.", "Nikki: Nicholas, please.", "Nick: Mom, if I show up, then dad's gonna cause a scene, and then it'll ruin your night.", "Nikki: No, he won'T. He wants you there just as much as I do.", "Nick: Well, don't take this the wrong way, but after everything dad's done, I would need to hear those words come out of his mouth.", "Traci: Hey. Are we speaking to each other?", "Billy: I don't know. Are we?", "Traci: [ Chuckles ] I just, um, had a nice talk with ashley.", "Billy: Are you kidding?", "Traci: Yes.", "Billy: [ Scoffs ]", "Traci: Basically she called me a wimp and a traitor.", "Billy: Yeah, I had a similar conversation with jack, except in my case it was traitor and monumental screw-up. Doesn't exactly put you in the holiday cheer, does it?", "Traci: No. [ Sniffles ] I was so hoping that this would be a beautiful christmas for dina. Who knows if she'll even be around for another one. And if she is, will it even register?", "Billy: Yeah, you think it would put everything in perspective.", "Traci: Yes, especially for jack and ashley. But unfortunately, I only see this escalating.", "Jack: Okay, look --", "Ashley: Don't say a word. According to you and your bylaws, I'm not really an abbott. And now I know along with the rest of the world just how low you will stoop, jack abbott.", "Jack: I had it drawn up a long time ago when I first found out phyllis was having an affair with billy. She had the abbott name. She was a beneficiary of my will. I wanted to protect jabot from estranged exes and predators.", "Ashley: Oh, so I'm a predator?", "Jack: Actually --", "Ashley: Oh, really? You're such a hypocrite. You say you're protecting the company from phyllis. You turned around and appointed her to the board.", "Jack: That's because my ex-wife who cheated on me with my brother is more loyal to me now than my own sister! Do you have any idea how that feels, you going behind my back, trying to get the board to oust me? I could only imagine what you told them to get their vote. Probably the same garbage you fed kyle to turn him against me.", "Ashley: I said nothing to kyle.", "Jack: You think I'm fighting dirty? What option did I have? Do you have any idea what it did to me to bring your paternity into this?", "Ashley: What it did to you?!", "Jack: I never wanted to hurt you like this! I feel like I'm fighting for my life!", "Ashley: You feel like you're fighting for your life?! Really, jack?! From the moment I found out that john abbott wasn't really my biological father, a part of me has always felt separated from the rest of you. It went unspoken, but it was there. For you to throw that in my face! Daddy would have been so disappointed in you. You're forcing me to fight for my place in this family, jack, and I will. I will fight because you've given me no choice.", "[ Door opens ] [ Door closes ] Hey, um, I have a situation. I need your help.", "Michael: I can't believe it's come to this.", "Ashley: It has.", "Michael: Look, when jack asked me to draw up that amendment, I never dreamed he'd use it against you, even after i found out about your paternity --", "Ashley: How enforceable is it? I am an abbott. It says john abbott on my birth certificate.", "Michael: Unfortunately, i can't give you legal advice because it would be a conflict of interest.", "[ Door closes ]", "Jack: You went there? Wow. How about that?", "Ashley: How about that. You didn't consult with anybody when you drew up this amendment. We don't even know if it's legal.", "Michael: Oh, I can assure you it's --", "Jack: You want to drag me through court to get what you want? Be my guest. You will only cause this family more pain, and we will end up exactly where we are right now.", "Ashley: We'll see.", "Victoria: Oh, good. I wasn't sure if you'd be in today.", "Abby: If you're gonna give me some long to-do list, it's gonna have to wait. I'm taking some time off.", "Victoria: What? Now?", "Abby: Just through the weekend. I will be back on tuesday. There's this amazing yoga retreat in santa fe that I've always wanted to do, and I leave tonight.", "Victoria: You know you could have told me sooner.", "Abby: Well, I just booked the trip. It's been a rough few months.", "Victor: What's the problem, sweet girls?", "Abby: Oh.", "Victoria: Abby just informed me that she's leaving town.", "Abby: I am kicking off 2018 right.", "Victor: I have a better idea for you. Nikki and I are renewing our vows on new year's eve.", "Victoria: Does mom know?", "Victor: Yes, she's very happy to know that the whole family will be there. So am I.", "Abby: Well, two years ago stitch and I were getting married on new year's eve. You know what? I am gonna cancel my trip. I will definitely be there. I am so happy for you both.", "Victor: I'm so happy to hear that. Thank you.", "Abby: What better way to start off the new year than celebrating two people that have been through a lot but have worked through it and they are back together? Wow. I'm excited.", "Victor: Bye, sweetheart.", "Abby: Bye.", "Victor: Thank you.", "Victoria: How exactly did you manage to pull that off? [ Door closes ] Because the last time I spoke with mom, she was livid with you.", "Victor: Your mother stole money from me to make a point. So I, in turn, asked her to move back in with me to make my own point. We discussed how our future would look like and what we would like it to be, and then in the process, we discovered that we belong together. Now we're gonna shout that out to the world, you know.", "Paul: All right, that's fine. Just keep me informed. That's right.", "Nikki: Paul! Oh, my goodness. Um, I'm glad to have run into you. How was your christmas?", "Paul: I saw victor. Imagine my surprise when he told me what your plans were for new year's eve.", "Nikki: Well, I assume he invited you and christine. You're coming, I hope.", "Paul: I can't do that, nikki.", "Nikki: What do you mean, you can't?", "Paul: So however he convinced you, please don't fall for it.", "Nikki: Oh, come on, paul.", "Paul: You need to remember everything that victor has done and what drove you away in the first place, because you are putting your health, your happiness in jeopardy by letting him suck you back in again.", "Nikki: He is my husband. We have found a way to work through our differences to heal. I had hoped that you would be happy for me.", "Paul: I am not the least bit happy. So when you were waiting for J.T.'S audit to come in, wondering what it would show, you had to think about prison and if we had finally nailed victor. Well, when he goes down -- and frankly, that's going to happen -- you could be arrested and convicted as an accessory. That would mean years in prison, nikki. So if you won't listen to me, listen to that.", "Michael: I'm sorry about all this.", "Ashley: Not at all. You're just doing your job. I will find another attorney.", "Jack: We'll talk, michael.", "Michael: Yes.", "Ashley: Take care. Thanks for coming.", "Michael: Thanks.", "[ Door closes ]", "Jack: You don't have to undecorate the house. I can have mrs. Martinez do that.", "Ashley: I'd rather do it myself. Unless, of course, there's a new amendment that says only blood abbotts are allowed to do it.", "Dina: Well, hello, you two. What a lovely day for a celebration.", "Jack: Isn't it?", "Dina: Yes.", "Ashley: You're awfully dressed up.", "Dina: Oh, well, why shouldn't I be? It's thanksgiving, for heaven's sake.", "Jack: Um, it -- it's just a few days until new year's, mother.", "Dina: Well, we have to get through christmas first.", "Jack: What I meant was...", "Dina: Listen, darling, you don't have to mansplain the holiday season to me. I've lived through a few of them before, you know.", "Jack: Mother, do you remember the roast goose last night? Candied brussels sprouts, that oyster sauce you like so much?", "Dina: Roast goose? I, um, I-I-I don't remember --", "Jack: You always said you preferred it to turkey.", "Dina: Oh. You must be joking. I detest goose. It's too greasy.", "Jack: I'm gonna go to the club, okay? I'll see you two later.", "Dina: Well, why is john so upset?", "Ashley: That was jack, mother.", "Dina: Well, I don't know what he's so angry about.", "Ashley: Do you remember we told you this on christmas eve?", "Dina: Told me what, dear?", "Ashley: Um --", "Dina: Spit it out.", "Ashley: Never mind. You know what? I'm gonna get an eggnog. Would you -- would you like one?", "Dina: [ Chuckling ] Oh, no, no, thank you. Eggnog is for christmas. I much prefer a nice dry sherry on thanksgiving. Nothing like it to get you in the holiday spirit.", "Ashley: Okay.", "Dina: Hmm.", "Jack: Hey. Am I interrupting?", "Traci: [ Chuckles ] Gosh, no. Come on. Have a seat.", "Jack: Boy, if I'd known you were here, I'd have come a whole lot earlier instead of skirmishing with ashley.", "Traci: Hmm. Yes, I went a round with her myself.", "Jack: I imagine you're looking forward to getting back to new york.", "Traci: [ Chuckles ] Hey, why don't you come with me? Maybe a change of scenery would do you some good.", "Jack: It might well. Apparently I have some prep work to do, though, to defend myself in court.", "Traci: What? You don't think ashley would... oh, no.", "Jack: I don't see this coming to an easy end.", "Abby: I have made my own to-do list, starting with solar.", "Victoria: Thank you.", "Abby: Yeah.", "Victoria: Abby. Uh, earlier with dad, I couldn't help noticing how -- how enthusiastic you were about his plans with my mom, unless that was just for show.", "Abby: Well, I have no illusions about their relationship, but two people who have been through as much as they have can make it work, well, I admire that. And it's nice to be a part of a family who comes together during the holidays.", "Victoria: I imagine it's always like that with the abbotts. I mean, I just picture them having a perfect christmas.", "Abby: [ Laughs ] Nice fantasy.", "Victoria: Abby, what's wrong?", "Abby: It's just all this, um... you know what? Never mind.", "Victoria: Abby.", "Abby: No, no, victoria, I am not as naive as you think I am. Why would I say anything that you could use to scapegoat me?", "Victoria: [ Sighs ] I'm so sorry, okay? I was just focused on salvaging newman's reputation. I guess I wasn't thinking.", "Abby: Thinking about what it would feel like to have all that bad juju shoved on me, to stand in front of the cameras and say what a lousy businesswoman I am and even worse judge in men? Never mind that I had just been through that horrific experience.", "Victoria: Okay, look, i suffered my own public humiliation with brash & sassy. Not that that's an excuse.", "Abby: And people say i make everything about me.", "Victoria: I am so sorry. I truly am. I... [ Sighs ] I never acknowledged the pain that you've been through. And hearing you talk just now about how tough relationships are.", "Abby: I was pretty messed up at the time.", "Victoria: You know, zack did a number on you, didn't he?", "Abby: But I'm doing better now. And I know everything you did, it helped the company.", "Victoria: Thank you.", "Abby: Even though it really sucks what you tried to do to me.", "Victoria: So are you taking a date to this new year's eve wingding?", "Abby: I don't know. Are you?", "Nick: I guess here's my answer.", "Victor: To what?", "Nick: You must really want me to come to your end-of-the-year pr bonanza, the unbroken wall of overjoyed newmans all paying homage to your clever triumph.", "Victor: Never mind overjoy. Just think of being respectful and civil, all right?", "Nick: It's a lot to ask after everything you've put her through.", "Victor: To be frank with you, nicholas, I don't think you should be at the party.

I already talked to summer about it, and she's fine with it.", "Nick: Well, I'm not.", "Phyllis: Okay. Uh, I just think it's best if summer and I, um, have a mother/daughter brunch and open gifts christmas morning, and then she could spend the rest of the time with her family.

I'll be in my office if you need me.", "Summer: Theo, wait.", "Theo: Yeah?", "Summer: Uh, kyle is not threatened by you because he doesn't have any reason to be.

I can't leave them high and dry.

Plus, you should be there to meet him.", "Victoria: You're right.", "Billy: Okay, let's just go as scheduled.", "Victoria: Are you sure you're okay going --", "Billy: I will be there in the morning before anybody even opens their presents, okay?", "Victoria: I don't want to spend christmas without you.", "Billy: You won'T. I promise.", "Nick: That bastard has gone too far this time.", "Phyllis: Um, I don't think \"too far\" is the thing for adam.", "Nick: He tried to get you to break me and chelsea up. If he thought he could manipulate either one of us, it just proves he's as stupid as he is despicable.", "Phyllis: You're not surprised, are you? He tried to take your son. Now he's trying to take chelsea.", "Nick: Probably found out we were all gonna be together for christmas, so he wanted to use the situation to his advantage.", "Phyllis: Uh, no. He -- he asked me to do this before you invited me.", "Nick: What? Why did you say anything?", "Phyllis: Well, I was going to. I even went looking for you, but then I decided not to.", "Nick: Why?", "Phyllis: Because I didn't want to be the one to blow things up this time. I mean, imagine the scenario. I tell you. Then you go to adam, and you try to beat the crap out of him. And that's not such a far-fetched scenario.", "Nick: No, it's not. But you should have said something.", "Phyllis: You told me to butt out of your relationship with chelsea. I was just doing what you asked.", "Nick: That's a cop-out.", "Phyllis: No, it's not. Maybe it is. Nick, you know that adam is trying to win chelsea back. We talked about this. I figured there was no real reason to tell you this information.", "Nick: I really thought he'd try and use connor, you know, to take advantage, but this -- this is a whole new level of sickness, even for him.", "Phyllis: Alright, so -- so, what if I went to you and i said, \"this is information you had to know\"? Would you have believed me? Or would you have questioned my motives, like you're doing right now?", "Nick: [ Sighs ]", "Phyllis: Yeah, I thought so.", "Adam: [ Sighs ] Maybe you're not ready to admit it, or maybe you're just -- you're afraid. But it is there, chelsea, that connection that has always been there between us. I mean, that is what brought us together. It's what gave us connor. And that bond, those emotions that we felt for each other -- sure, they might've got buried when you thought you lost me. But those feelings have never gone away. And I know you feel it just like I do.", "Chelsea: I do feel something for you. Of course. How could I not? I mean, we share a history. We share a son, so we'll always be connected because of him.", "Adam: No, you know that is not what I'm talking about.", "Chelsea: I love nick, adam. I love nick.", "Adam: Okay, because he's safe and he's easy.", "Chelsea: No. No.", "Adam: There is no risk with nick. He cannot break your heart, chelsea, because he doesn't have it.", "Chelsea: Stop, adam, please. Stop. I love nick, okay? You need to accept that. Man: Sneezes", "Theo: Hey, hold on. Summer, I'm warning you. Don't go stirring up trouble where there isn't any.", "Summer: Okay, if there's nothing going on between the two of you, then what are you so worried about?", "Theo: I know what's going on here.", "Summer: Yeah, you do. You just won't admit it.", "Theo: Mnh-mnh. You wish there was something going on with me and lola because that would open the door for you to get back together with kyle.", "Summer: [ Scoffs ] Oh, my god. That's ridiculous.", "Theo: And so is the idea that there is anything between lola and me, hmm?", "Summer: Fine. I'll drop it.", "Theo: Good.", "Summer: But, theo... if I'm right, the truth will come out eventually.", "Billy: [ Sighs ] Okay. You're gonna have a mutiny on your hands if you don't get going.", "Victoria: I know. I hate going without you.", "Billy: I got these for the kids. Hopefully it'll distract them so they don't get too upset that i won't be there for christmas eve.", "Victoria: Who's gonna distract me?", "Billy: Aw. I'm sorry I'm not going with you right now.", "Victoria: I'll be counting the minutes until I see you in telluride.", "Billy: I don't deserve you.", "Victoria: No, I strongly disagree.", "Billy: [ Chuckles ]", "Victoria: You're everything that I want and everything that I need.", "Billy: Mm. [ Thinking ] What if I'm not, vick? What if I can never be the man that you need?", "Victoria: I love you, billy.", "Billy: I love you, too. [ Thinking ] I don't ever want to lose you.", "Chelsea: Adam, did you hear what I said?", "Adam: I heard you.", "Chelsea: About tomorrow.", "Adam: Yeah, we're obviously not going to the farm. I don't think the three of us should go to nick's now, either.", "Adam: If that's the way you feel.", "Chelsea: What you said changes things.", "Adam: [ Sighs ] How? Where are you gonna be when our son wakes up on christmas morning? Are you going to be at nick's, or are you going to be here?", "Nick: Phyllis, wait. Wait. Come on. Look, I get it. I get why you didn't come to me.", "Phyllis: No, it's okay. It's not like I haven't given you a million reasons not to trust me in the past. I haven't always been up front, right? I'm just trying to be better.", "Nick: Well, it's not like i think I'm perfect. You don't need to say anything to that.", "Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]", "Nick: Look, we've come a long way.", "Phyllis: Yeah, we have.", "Nick: And thank you for telling me what adam asked you to do.", "Phyllis: I'm sorry I didn't come to you before.", "Nick: Oh, that's alright. You know, maybe now I can convince chelsea to come home to me.", "Phyllis: Oh, yay. Awesome.", "Nick: [ Chuckles ] I know how you feel about that relationship.", "Phyllis: I don't want you to get hurt.", "Nick: I'm not the one who's gonna suffer.", "Phyllis: Okay. You're not gonna do something reckless, are you?", "Nick: What's your definition of \"reckless?\"", "Phyllis: What are you gonna do with this information?", "Nick: I'm gonna use it... as ammunition against adam. And this time, he is not gonna win.", "Phyllis: Alright.", "[ Sighs ]" ]

[ "Jack happens to arrive at the coffeehouse and catches Phyllis with Victor and Nikki talking business. He ducks out of the way and peers in at the trio. Later he brazenly walks in asking what is going on. \"I feel my ears burning. Victor and Nikki hurry to get out of there to let Phyllis deal with Jack and the news. Jack already guesses. \"You have gone to Newman with the idea that I told you that you couldn't pursue right?\" Phyllis doesn't deny it. \"We couldn't give up on the idea. It is too good Jack. Jack reminds Phyllis that she works for Jabot. She reminds him that Victor owns a part of Jabot. Jack says he would rather live on a park bench than sit side by side with Victor. \"And you had better feel the same way as well Phyllis.\" She asks what will happen if she doesn't feel the same way. \"Phyllis I hope that Victor and Nikki can pay your rent.\" Phyllis finds Jack to be downright vindictive and it is clear that he would hurt her to get back at Victor if he had the chance. \"You know Jack? I really don't know how much of ‘us' there is left to save.\" And with that said, Phyllis walks off leaving him alone. Brad has come to the boutique. He finds Sharon there. They look over at the big poster of Lauren on the wall. Brad has been especially hit hard by Lauren's ‘death'. \"It is making me think that I am wasting my life. Michael got married one day and then the love of his life is gone the next. Sharon we are good friends, more than good friends. This has made me think. You are the one that I have been looking for. Sharon I love you.\" Lauren can't take it anymore. Sheila seems fine with dying with Lauren in the basement, but Lauren decides that she has to figure something out. She goes to the railing leading up to the main part of the house. She notices that it shakes. It is loose! Lauren uses her hand to try to pry the railing loose but it doesn't work. Sheila doesn't seem happy that Lauren is figuring things out and starts taunting her about trying to get out. \"You will never get out of here. You are going to die in here You might as well give up!\" Lauren will not. She has another idea and uses her legs instead to kick at the heavy metal railing. To Sheila's horror, the railing soon falls loose. Lauren picks it up and starts repeatedly ramming it into the door to loosen it so it will eventually fall off its hinges. Sheila keeps taunting and shouting over the banging noise to laugh at Lauren and make her think that she is wasting her time. Lauren finally has had it. She turns on Sheila. She goes over to the woman and they start wrestling and fighting. Sheila bends sideways and kicks Lauren in the gut. Lauren goes flying backwards to the wall, but recovers quickly. Sheila has knocked herself backwards as well and she falls on her back. She has trouble getting up again as her wrists are tied together still. Lauren is on her in a flash. \"Aaahhhhhhhhhh!\" Sheila cries. Sheila has been hurt and hurt bad. She isn't trying to get up anymore. She is writhing in pain on her back as she cries out, with Lauren standing over her. Gloria shows up at the hospital to see about John. She soon sees the boys and tells them that John had a car accident and is in the hospital. She is strangely quiet when she learns that Tom has been shot. Ashley gets the call, and Christine arranges for her to get out of jail on bail to be with her father. She rushes over to the hospital and Gloria fills her in. The doctor comes to the women to inform them that John has a few broken ribs and a bump on his head. \"He is unconscious right now, but you will be able to see him later and he has no life-threatening injuries. And when you talk to him, don't talk about anything stressful. Also, we noticed a bit of an irregular heartbeat.\" Ashley decides at that moment that she wants to be there when her father wakes up. Tom is in the hospital. Tom and Kevin hover for information. They want to talk to Tom but the police want to also. The cop goes in first. He reads Tom his rights, but Tom doesn't care about that. He looks weakly up at his monitors, and asks for Baldwin. The officer feels that Tom is asking to talk to a lawyer and although he feels that Michael is a strange choice he gets the man anyway. Michael when alone with Tom grabs his IV and threatens to stop the flow of medicine that is keeping him alive for killing Lauren. Kevin is out in the hallway and when the officers are not looking he sneaks in to be with his brother as well. He stands back and listens as Michael reads Tom the riot act. Tom hears the boys talk about Lauren thinking that that she is dead. Tom tries to speak but Kevin orders him to \"shut up!\" Tom calls out Sheila's name when Michael brings up the explosion but Michael will not entertain that thought. \"It was all you Tom!\" Michael shouts. Kevin is next to tell his father that he wants him to suffer for what he did to Lauren. Tom tries to talk again, but doesn't get anything substantial out. Then his head falls to the pillow and the machine rages. Michael and Kevin stand by quietly as the staff of the hospital get the paddles, but Tom dies. Outside the room, Michael tells Ashley and Gloria that Tom is dead. \"He said that Sheila was the one that caused the explosion, he tried to say something else but didn't get it out and we will never know what that was and he said that Sheila wasn't the one that shot him.\" The lieutenant is nearby and he hears how things have developed. \"Well, that changes things for you then Ashley Abbot. You are under arrest for the murder of Tom Fisher.\" Ashley is cuffed as her in-laws stand watching." ]

[ "Michael: Oh, excuse me, nurse? Um, have you got any word about Tom Fisher?", "Woman: He's still in surgery, sir.", "Michael: Still in surgery, okay, thank you. Thank you.", "Kevin: Mikey? You said Tom was shot?", "Michael: Yes.", "Kevin: Did you...", "Michael: No, of course not! I wouldn't be here if I did.", "Kevin: If it wasn't you, then who?", "Michael: Look, I haven't got a clue. They were already loading him into the ambulance when I got there. Now they're working on him back there.", "Kevin: Well, good riddance, right?", "Michael: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm hoping he survives. Kevin, that's the only way we're gonna ever find out what really happened to Lauren.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: Baldwin!", "Michael: All right, before you ask me, I didn't do it. And before you ask me again, I don't know who did.", "Paul: I have a theory. The fingerprints came back from the lab. Jennifer Mitchell is Sheila Carter.", "Kevin: J.T. just said something about this. Are you sure?", "Paul: Fingerprints don't lie.", "Michael: Wait a minute! Hold it!", "Michael: Sheila Carter? Do you mean \"Sheila Carter\" Sheila Carter? The certified psycho? That she's been... masquerading all these months in Genoa City as Jennifer and Brenda?", "Paul: I'm afraid so.", "Michael: Then it's over, right? It's over.", "Paul: Michael...", "Michael: No, no, Sheila Carter? She's been trying to destroy Lauren for years. She... she's finally accomplished it.", "Paul: Michael, don't--", "Michael: No! We both know what that woman's capable of. Any hope I had that Lauren was alive is over! She's dead! She's dead!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: Let me tell you something. That is a lie. Michael did not plant those Drugs on Tom.", "Sheila: No, you know what? He may not have done it himself. He had Ashley to do the dirty work. But you know damn well he set Tom up.", "Lauren: All I know is that Tom would still be in jail if you hadn't bailed him out.", "Sheila: Yeah, well, I did that as a favor for your mother-in-law.", "Lauren: You've never done anything for anyone in your entire life. You needed Tom out of jail so you could complete this sick plan of yours. Well, sorry. He outplayed you. Just like I'm going to.", "Sheila: You're so confident. Where's Tom? When's he coming to rescue you, Lauren, huh?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Ashley: I don't wanna talk about this right now, Christine, please?", "Chris: I am your lawyer. I have to know what happened.", "Ashley: I can't talk about it right now.", "Chris: It just doesn't make any sense. Tom is wanted for Lauren's murder. There's a warrant out for his arrest. Why would he show up in Genoa City?", "Ashley: I don't know.", "Chris: How did you know his whereabouts tonight?", "Ashley: He called Gloria.", "Chris: And did you tell her to call the police?", "Ashley: Yes.", "Chris: Then you left the house and went to that location. Why?", "Ashley: Christine, I wasn't thinking right. I was terrified. He'd been threatening my family. He was blackmailing Gloria for months.", "Troy: Hello, counselor.", "Chris: Detective.", "Ashley: How's Tom Fisher?", "Troy: Last I heard, he was still in surgery. I do have some questions I'd like to ask you, Ms. Abbott.", "Chris: Just so you are aware, Detective, I have advised my client not to answer.", "Troy: I see. Well, maybe she'll be more cooperative after a night in jail.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: So thank you for the exchange and for pointing out those other blouses.", "Yolanda: No problem.

Oh.", "Yolanda: Yeah.", "Sharon: Right. No, I've know Dru and Neil for years. How do you know them?", "Yolanda: I'm Devon's mother.", "Sharon: Oh.", "Yolanda: Yeah.", "Sharon: Oh, you're Yolanda?", "Yolanda: Yeah.", "Sharon: Right, yeah, Dru told me a lot about you.", "Yolanda: Oh, wow.", "Sharon: It's nice to meet you.", "Yolanda: Yeah, same here.", "Sharon: So Dru didn't tell me that you were working at the boutique.", "Yolanda: Yeah, it's part-time, though. It's only through the holidays. Sad, though, what happened to Ms. Fenmore. I mean, Mrs. Baldwin.", "Sharon: Yeah. Yeah, that was a real blow to us all. She was... a wonderful woman.", "Yolanda: I'm sorry I never got a chance to meet her.", "Sharon: Well, this job, um, when it ends, you're gonna need a new one, right?", "Yolanda: Yeah.", "Sharon: Well, would you like for me to ask around at Newman Enterprises and see if there's maybe an entry-level position?", "Yolanda: You would do that for me? You don't even know me.", "Sharon: Yeah, but I know Dru and Neil and Devon.", "Yolanda: Wow. Thank you. Oh, I'm sorry, sir, we're closing.", "Sharon: Oh, um... he's okay.

I thought you and Sharon would be cozying up at home tonight.", "Nick: Sharon had to return or exchange some gift.", "Victoria: Oh, really? Well, I hope it wasn't that gorgeous ring you gave her.", "Nick: No, she likes that one. It was some sweater from Mom and Dad.", "Victoria: You know, she seems a lot more upbeat since she got back from St. Louis. But with a bauble like that on her finger, who wouldn't be? Must've been a good Christmas for you, after all.", "Nick: Yeah, it was.", "Victoria: So... does that mean things between you and Sharon are...", "Nick: I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I think we'll be all right. So, look, I've been pretty hard on you lately.", "Victoria: Well, I can take it. I've been dealing with you getting under my skin since you were born.", "Nick: Well, I just want you to know that I've made a new year's resolution.", "Victoria: Oh, an early one, huh?", "Nick: Yeah. I'm gonna back off on Brad. This time, I mean it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Obviously, I think this is a very good concept. Otherwise, I would not have agreed to give you the seed money.", "Phyllis: Great. Well, you feel confident in our ability to execute this, right?", "Victor: Mm-hmm. When I get behind something, Phyllis, I make it happen. Having said that, I want to be advised on every major step you make. And I want a complete business plan before I commit any further.", "Nikki: Oh, of course. And it goes without saying that your input is always welcome. We're thrilled to be working with you. I know I am.", "Phyllis: Oh, well, I am, too. I've missed the energy of Victor Newman. There's no man in the world quite like you. All right, I just wanna show you a couple of these improvements. I've made.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Paul: Scott's devastated. He blames himself for trusting Brenda.", "Michael: There's no way Scott could've know. Lauren and I both saw Sheila locked up in Hemet with our own eyes.", "Paul: Yeah, I know. That's why I had the warden run prints on that woman. Apparently, she is someone named Sugar. So obviously, Sheila paid off a plastic surgeon somewhere along the line.", "Kevin: What? Well, so what happens to this Sugar person now?", "Paul: Well, if she's not wanted for anything, the warden is considering letting her go. As for Sheila, the F.B.I. is starting their search in Florida.", "Michael: Which does absolutely no good if your theory is correct. And Sheila came back to town to take care of the one person who could finger her for killing Lauren.", "Paul: Exactly, Michael. That's why we need to talk to Tom as soon as he's awake. He may very well be the only person who can lead us to Sheila. I gotta make a phone call.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Reese: Well, we removed the bullet and sent it to the crime lab.

He's very weak.", "Officer: I'll let Detective Hawkins know.", "Michael: Dr. Walker? I'm sorry, I couldn't help overhearing. Tom Fisher is my stepfather. If things are that bad, I really need to see him.", "Reese: I'm sorry, Mr. Baldwin, I'm afraid that's up to the police. I mean, he's a fugitive.

Kevin, its John.", "Kevin: What?", "Gloria: He's been in a car accident.", "Kevin: Oh, God.", "Gloria: And it happened right after we heard about Lauren. Oh, Michael... oh, my baby, I am so sorry. How could everything have gone so wrong?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: Tom will be here.", "Sheila: God, you're dreaming! Do you-- do you hear the Calvary outside? Tom is not coming back.

Your father's been in a car accident. And he's in the emergency room.", "Ashley: Oh, my God. Is he all right?", "Gloria: I don't know. They haven't let me see him yet. There goes the nurse. Maybe she has some answers for me now. Ashley, just please hurry.", "Ashley: Uh, my father's in the hospital. He's been in a car accident.", "Chris: Okay, I'm gonna go to the judge right now. Don't worry. I will get you out of this. You're entitled to emergency bond tonight.", "Troy: Can I get you anything, Ms. Abbott?", "Ashley: I don't know. Maybe some water?", "Troy: Can I get some water, please?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Brad: It was the strangest thing. I just felt like I had to come here. I was on the verge of making a big decision.", "Sharon: About Lauren?", "Brad: She was certainly the inspiration for it. So it's rather ironic I would find you here.", "Yolanda: Excuse me? Um, I have to go do some work in the stockroom. But if you guys need me, just holler.", "Sharon: Thank you.", "Brad: Lauren always lived her life in fear.", "Sharon: Really?", "Brad: That's why she lived each day to the fullest. And now...", "Sharon: Yeah, it just reminds you again how short life is.", "Brad: Makes you wonder how many people live their lives for others, instead of for themselves.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: You're backing off on Brad?", "Nick: I'm serious. I've been on Brad's case pretty hard lately.", "Victoria: Try from the moment he first walked through the door at Newman.", "Nick: I can't hide it. I don't trust him.", "Victoria: Why? Sharon obviously does. She has total faith in him.", "Nick: I'm aware of how my wife feels. But she just sees what he puts out there.", "Victoria: Which is?", "Nick: A very well thought out and calculated appearance. This guy doesn't make a move until he asks himself, \"How does this benefit Brad Carlton?\"", "Victoria: Oh, I see. And I suppose I'm too blinded by romance to have noticed that.", "Nick: You two are putting on quite a show.", "Victoria: We're having fun, Nick. When was the last time you did something purely for the fun of it? I think we need to loosen you up.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: No! No!", "Nikki: Oh!", "Phyllis: No!", "Nikki: I can't thank you enough for making this happen.", "Phyllis: And we assure you, we'll use your investment wisely.", "Victor: And I expect nothing less. But now let me ask you a question, Phyllis.", "Phyllis: Mmm?", "Victor: Have you advised Jack about my involvement in this chain of wellness centers?", "Phyllis: Uh, not yet.", "Victor: Then kindly do it sooner rather than later.", "Jack: Well, isn't this cozy?", "Nikki: Hi, Jack.", "Victor: Well, speak of the devil. We were just talking about you, Jack.", "Jack: Funny, my ears were burning. I'm fascinated to hear what you were saying.", "Victor: I'm sure Phyllis will tell you all about it.", "Nikki: You know what? We gotta head home.", "Victor: I think we do. Phyllis, nice to see you.", "Phyllis: You, too. Talk to you later, Nikki.", "Victor: Good luck.", "Nikki: Yes, we'll talk. Bye, Jack.", "Jack: Yeah. Wait, don't tell me. You didn't get what you wanted from me, so you went straight to old moneybags. Am I warm?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chris: Thanks. Okay, all taken care of.", "Ashley: So quickly?", "Chris: Yeah. But your number one priority should be getting to your father.", "Ashley: Of course. Thank you, Christine.", "Chris: You don't have to thank me. I'm just doing my job.", "Ashley: All right.", "Gloria: Oh, Michael. It's all so unbelievable.", "Gloria: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Why are you all here? You didn't know about John.", "Kevin: It's Tom. He was shot tonight.", "Gloria: I called the police. He must've resisted arrest.", "Michael: The police didn't shoot him.", "Gloria: Then who did, Michael?", "Paul: We're hoping Tom will be able to tell us.", "Michael: And answer a few more questions while he's at it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Troy: So there was only one bullet?", "Reese: Which we removed and sent to the lab.", "Troy: I need to question Fisher. Not only about the Lauren Fenmore murder, but his shooting, as well.", "Reese: He's in critical condition, Detective. We have him on a dopamine drip to support his blood pressure.", "Troy: We can't afford to wait. If he stops breathing, I'll never get what I want.", "Paul: I have to check a few leads on Sheila and see if they go anywhere.", "Michael: You don't sound too hopeful.", "Paul: Well, I'm not. Our best bet is the message that Scott left on her cell. If she picks it up, she's gonna think that he isn't on to her. And that could draw her out of hiding. You know, there is nobody more slippery than Sheila. But, Michael, I tell you, I got a feeling in my gut she's still in the area.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: Ugh! (Metal clanks on the ground)", "Lauren: Oh!", "Lauren: (Grunting)", "Sheila: You may as well accept it, Lauren. We're gonna die here... together.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Troy: Can you hear me, Mr. Fisher?", "Troy: Detective Hawkins, Genoa City Police Department. You're under arrest for the murder of Lauren Fenmore. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can--", "Tom: I want my lawyer.", "Troy: Don't play games, Fisher. There are a lot of people who have been looking for you since you blew up that yacht in Florida.", "Tom: Baldwin.", "Troy: Michael Baldwin was one of them. You killed his wife.", "Tom: Baldwin, lawyer.", "Troy: You want Michael Baldwin as your lawyer?", "Tom: Baldwin.", "Troy: Just a second. Get Michael Baldwin in here.", "Troy: I know this is highly unusual. But you are the attorney he requested. I'll give you a couple of minutes. But we have some more questions we need to ask Mr. Fisher.", "Michael: No... don't get up.", "Michael: Hmm. Now as I understand it... this... yeah. This I.V... is feeding the medicine that's keeping you alive down this tube, through this switch and into your arm. Why don't you explain to me... why I shouldn't flick this switch and end your miserable life?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Brad, we all live for someone else to some extent. We live for our families. We live for our children.", "Brad: You know, I keep thinking about Michael. He just married the woman of his dreams. They were together one night. And now he has to figure out how to live without the love of his life.", "Sharon: That's gonna take time. I know from experience. You know, death forces us to live without the people we love. And you just have to accept that. I'm not saying that's gonna be easy. It'll take a lot of time. But you will eventually get there and so will Michael.", "Brad: I guess it's hitting me harder than I expected.", "Sharon: Yeah, it's all just so senseless.", "Brad: It makes me wonder if I'm wasting my life.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: Honestly, Nick, I really can't remember the last time I saw you truly enjoying yourself. I mean, even at Lauren and Michael's wedding, you weren't very joyful. Oh, I guess after what happened, it's sad.", "Nick: You mean to be so full of life one moment and then gone the next?", "Victoria: Yeah. You know all too well how that feels, don't you?", "Nick: So do you. But I'm trying to put it all behind me. And that's why from this moment on, I'm gonna do my best to stay positive-- even where Brad's concerned.", "Victoria: I'll believe it when I see it.", "Nick: Hey, don't blink, or you might miss it. Seriously, sis, couldn't you be with anyone other than Brad?", "Victoria: I feel good about my relationship, okay? I'm taking it one day at a time. I'm not looking for anything heavy or permanent at this point. And neither is Bradley.", "(Door closes)", "Nikki: Well, look at this.", "Victor: What a nice surprise.", "Nick: Hey.", "Victoria: Hello.", "Nikki: What are you two doing here?", "Victoria: We're talking.", "Nikki: About?", "Nick: About enjoying life.", "Victor: Hmm.", "Nick: Where have you two been?", "Victor: We were at the coffeehouse.", "Nick: What did you think of Daniel's tribute to Cassie?", "Nikki: Oh, it's lovely, very touching.", "Victoria: You know, with Daniel coming up with Cassie's corner, and not to mention helping coach Noah's basketball team... and now Mom's new partnership with Phyllis, we could hardly get any closer to that family. It's ironic, isn't it, Nick?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: We did not solicit Victor. He came to us.", "Jack: Of course. He came to the coffeehouse looking for you, hoping you maybe had some potential project he could invest in.", "Phyllis: Okay, yes, Nikki mentioned something to him. She wanted his input. And Victor, being the man he is, he wanted to make it happen for her. It was a Christmas gift.", "Jack: I don't care if it was a day before Easter gift. Boy, you sure didn't waste much time rushing to the mustache after I turned you down.", "Phyllis: What did you expect me to do, give up?", "Jack: In a word, yes. And not because it's your idea.

You see, you're a Jabot employee now.", "Phyllis: So is Nikki.", "Jack: You're damn right she is. And it would be highly unethical, not to mention a conflict of interest for you to develop projects outside of Jabot.", "Phyllis: It's not completely outside of Jabot. In case you've forgotten, Victor still owns a piece of this company.", "Jack: Oh, yeah.", "Phyllis: Yeah. So if he's on board, why not do it under the Jabot name?", "Jack: Because I would rather live on the streets, I would rather sleep under a bridge than be in a partnership with Victor Newman. I advise you to feel the same way.", "Phyllis: And what if I don't?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: What's going on in there?", "Gloria: I don't know.

But I do have some good news. Uh, Mr. Abbott's injuries from the car accident don't appear life threatening.", "Gloria: Oh, thank God. Because, Doctor, I just lost my daughter-in-law. I couldn't bear to lose my husband right now.", "Reese: Well, he's pretty banged up-- uh, a few broken ribs, a nasty bump on his head, but we did a C.A.T. scan and found no indications of any brain damage.", "Ashley: That is good news.", "Reese: Now we have detected and irregular heartbeat, and we wanna watch that very closely given mr. Abbott's medical history-- his heart attack some years ago.", "Gloria: May I see him?", "Reese: He's still unconscious. I'd rather wait a bit. There are signs he'll be coming around soon.", "Gloria: And what if he doesn't?", "Reese: Well, Mrs. Abbott, don't look at the worst case scenario. We'll continue to monitor your husband and hope that you'll be able to speak with him very soon. Okay, now when you do see him, uh, you have to be very, very careful to avoid anything stressful. Okay?", "Gloria: Yeah, thank you. But I am gonna wait here till I can see him.", "Reese: Okay, that's fine.", "Ashley: I'll wait with you, Gloria. I wanna see him the second he wakes up.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Oh, Thomas. I will give you... one chance. You have one chance. Tell me. Tell me why you killed Lauren. Come on, Fisher, one chance. Come on. Oh, Tom, I know about Sheila. I know that you had her plant the bomb.", "Tom: No. Set up.", "Michael: A setup? You had nothing to do with it? Oh, Tom, Tom, Tom, you went along with Sheila's scheme to kill Lauren just so you could get back at me, you son of a bitch.", "Tom: No.", "Michael: You did. You could've come after me, but you didn't have the-- you didn't have the guts to face me.", "Tom: Sheila.", "Tom: Oh, yeah, Sheila? She got to you tonight, didn't she? Of course, she did. You're worthless to her now.", "Tom: It's not-- not Sheila.", "Michael: What? Sheila didn't shoot you?", "Tom: No.", "Michael: Well, obviously, whoever did realized that your life wasn't worth much anyway, was it?", "Kevin: Mikey? Mikey, no, no, no. Don't please.", "Michael: Kevin...", "Kevin: No.", "Tom: Kevin? Kevin?", "Kevin: You disgusting piece of trash. I don't want you to think that I saved you. I'm glad this state doesn't have the death penalty. Because... because I want you to suffer. I want you to suffer every day for the rest of your miserable life for what you did to Lauren.

What?", "Tom: Sheila..", "Michael: Oh, Sheila? Where is she? Where is Sheila? Where?", "Tom: Out... Lauren.", "Michael: You expect me to believe that she was killed in the explosion with Lauren?

Sheila Carter was the one who, uh, planted the bomb that killed my wife.", "Gloria: Oh, God.", "Troy: Did he confirm who shot him?", "Michael: He just said it wasn't Sheila.", "Ashley: Did he say anything else?", "Michael: That was about it. Though it did, uh... seem to me that he was...", "Kevin: He was-- he was struggling to say something.", "Michael: Unfortunately, we'll never know. Uh... Gloria...

He's a leading expert, Jack, and it will stand up in court!", "Jack: I realize you're on a roll here, Gloria. This is New Year's Eve, after all.

I think it's gonna create a rift between Victor and Noah, and then eventually, Summer, too.", "Nikki: I don't want Victoria to wake up to that.", "Phyllis: Yeah, a family in shreds is no family at all.", "Nikki: Oh, I wonder if I can salvage anything at this point. The odds are against me.", "Phyllis: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The odds were against Victoria giving birth to a healthy baby, and we have Reed now.", "Nikki: Yeah.", "Phyllis: And the odds were against Victoria surviving that birth, and she's still with us. So I mean, Nikki, honestly, for that baby, for Victoria, for Nick, for the entire family, I really-- I think you have to give it a try.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Believe me, I wouldn't have insisted you come out in this weather if I didn't think it was vitally important.

I need you to tell me how to dig myself out.", "Man: I could tie up the suit in court for awhile.", "Jack: That sounds temporary. That's not the answer I'm looking for.", "Man: Listen, Jack, eventually you'll have to pay. I advise you take care of it now.", "Jack: The idea of that shrew getting one dime of my father's money makes me nauseous. There's got to be some way to stop her-- some legal way to keep her away from his money.", "Sharon: Jack, if this what you father wanted, then why do you have to fight it? John loved Gloria. The letter proves that. Can't you just respect what your father wanted?", "Jack: Sleep on it. Give me a brilliant idea tomorrow? Sorry you had to come out in this mess. Safe driving home.", "Man: Happy New Year to you both.", "Jack: Happy New Year.", "Sharon: Please drive safely.", "Jack: Dad's love for Gloria was misguided. He was lonely. She took advantage of him.", "Sharon: And then, you turned around and you took advantage of his state, too. So where does it end, Jack?", "Jack: It ends when things are set right.", "Sharon: As you see them? I mean, you dragged this poor guy out here on New Year's Eve, in a miserable snowstorm no less, because of your desperate attempt to stop Gloria and to keep reaching for what you think is right, even if it's dead wrong.", "Jack: What do you want me to do, Sharon?", "Sharon: Well, you could just abide by John's wishes, his will. Give Gloria the money that's rightfully due her. Stop making justifications for hurting people.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: I know J.T. has told you about your little boy. He's getting stronger and heavier every day. To survive in this world, having an instinct to fight is good sometimes. That's how your dad became very successful. But then, in personal relationships, it's not so good. I just want you to know that your mother and I have reached an impasse. She's done certain things that are hard to... hard to forgive, you know? But I love you and I love your little boy. I will do everything in my power to protect you. To protect your little boy. And I will always be... a father to you all. My baby.

They must really be worried. That's not good. You cold? Huh?", "Noah: Yeah.", "Nick: Yeah. Is that better?", "Noah: Yes.", "Nick: All right.

How about that?", "Neil: Oh, I think we can kind of work out a deal.", "Karen: Mnh-mnh.", "Sharon: Hey, you guys.", "Neil: Hi.", "Karen: Hi.", "Sharon: Um, got half a sec?", "Karen: You know what? I'm just gonna-- I'm gonna take this stuff into the office, okay?", "Neil: Yeah, sure.", "Karen: See ya.", "Neil: All right, Karen. Thanks. Yeah. Is something wrong? What's up? Take a seat. Come here.", "Sharon: Okay. Um... I just-- I need a friend who can be objective.", "Neil: Yeah. Well, I'll certainly try to be.", "Sharon: I'm leaving Jack tomorrow. But I'm scared about how this is going to affect Noah.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Noah: So... whenever I'm in the room, Mom and Jack always know what to say, and when I'm not, they don't talk at all.", "Nick: I see.", "Noah: They don't think I notice, but I do. She doesn't hold his hand anymore. They don't kiss each other good night. It's like they're afraid to touch.", "Nick: Sounds uncomfortable.", "Noah: Yeah. Mom's so unhappy. Nothing I can do can cheer her up.", "Nick: You know what, man? I am going through the same thing right now.", "Noah: You are?", "Nick: Yeah. My parents-- they fight all the time. And I hate it. I wish there was something I could do to stop 'em, but I can't. It's kinda like you. You know, you can't make things better between Jack and your mother. But I just have to remember that my parents love me, no matter what's going on. And it's the same thing for you. I mean, you gotta know that you're the most loved kid on the planet, right?", "Noah: If that's true, why does it feel so bad?", "Nick: It's 'cause you love 'em so much. And you just wanna see 'em happy.", "Noah: It's my fault.", "Nick: Whoa! Whoa! What? Where'd you get that?", "Noah: Well, you and Mom split, and now Mom and Jack.", "Nick: No, no, no. Dude, that is not your fault, all right? You can't blame yourself for the problems that adults create for themselves.", "Nick: It's just, when you get older, man, life gets so much more complicated.", "Noah: Did you like snow when you were my age?", "Nick: Did I like the snow? Dude, I was like a snow wizard. You should've seen this fort I built once in this snowdrift. It was like my own igloo. Man, it was so awesome.", "Noah: Really?", "Nick: Yeah. I felt so safe in there, you know? I hated it when it melted. But you can't just hide from things all the time. Okay?", "Noah: Okay.", "Nick: So I think we should call your mom and let her know what's going on. What do you say?", "Noah: Okay.", "Nick: All right, let's do it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Hello?", "Nick: Uh, hey, Sharon, it's Nick. Uh, don't freak out, but Noah went on a little, um, snowy adventure and he's out here with me now.", "Sharon: What? What happened?", "Nick: It--it's, uh, it's a long story. I'll--I'll fill you in later.", "Noah: I'm fine, Mom.", "Nick: Did you, uh, did you hear that?", "Sharon: Does Jack know about this?", "Nick: I don't think so.", "Sharon: All right, um, I'm on my way. I'll be there in a few minutes.", "Nick: Don't feel like you have to rush. We've got cocoa and marshmallows. We're good here.", "Neil: What? Sharon, what's going on?", "Sharon: Noah ran off. He's at Nick's. So much for wondering about impact.", "Neil: Wow. In this snow, huh? Well, he's confused. I mean, have you-- have you already talked to him about moving out?", "Sharon: No. But obviously he senses something.", "Neil: You know what you gotta do? You gotta make a decision, right? Make a decision and stand by it. That's all.", "Sharon: I know. You're right. Thanks.", "Neil: Sure. Last bit of advice? I happen to like you and Jack together a lot. He's a good man. You're a good woman. You and Noah might be the best thing that ever happened to him. And that kind of love... could really change a man.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Noah? Are you here, Buddy?", "[Jack calls Sharon]", "Sharon: Hello?", "Jack: Sharon, it's me. Uh, is Noah with you? I can't seem to find him anywhere. His parka's missing.", "Sharon: Um, it's okay. Its okay, Jack. Listen, Nick just called me. He's at Nick's and I'm on my way there to get him right now. What happened? Did you two have a fight or something? What made him run away?", "Jack: I have no idea. I went up to check on him right after you left and he was gone. Maybe he overheard us.", "Sharon: I'll be home with him soon.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: He's upstairs, playing with Summer.", "Sharon: Oh. You know, it was all I could do to just stay on the road. I mean, with the snow, the storm and my nerves lately. Everything is just really getting to me.", "Nick: You know, we got a real savvy kid, right?", "Sharon: He knows that I'm leaving Jack?", "Nick: Yeah. He's pretty bummed. He blames himself.", "Sharon: Oh, God! You know, I-I... I-I can mess up my own life, that's fine. But the last thing that I wanna do is mess up his.", "Nick: So it's a sure thing? You're gonna leave Jack?", "Noah: Just say it, Mom. Tell him the truth. Go ahead.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: You're living in a fantasy if you think there's anything left between us. Whatever good there was, you destroyed beyond recognition.", "Nikki: Like how you destroyed my picture?", "Victor: The woman in that picture I fell in love with. That's all gone now. I don't know how the hell I ever had those feelings for you, considering how you've betrayed me.", "Nikki: Oh, God!", "Victor: What?", "Nikki: I'm suddenly sadder than I've ever been in my life.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Woman: Here you go, Mrs. Newman.", "Phyllis: Thank you.", "Man: And the mayor has declared a state of emergency, warning people to stay off the streets unless it's a dire situation.

I think this is a conversation that we should have at home, with Jack.", "Noah: I love Jack.", "Sharon: I know you do, Honey. And he loves you, too, so much.", "Noah: Do you love him?", "Sharon: Yes, of course I do.", "Noah: Then why can't you live with him? Is it the same reason you couldn't live with Dad?", "Nick: Hey, Dude, why don't you, uh, why don't you take those mugs in the kitchen. And then when you come out, we'll pack you up and send you home with your mother.", "Noah: Fine.", "Sharon: I'm so sorry that you have to be here for this and go through this with us.", "Nick: Hey, that's my kid, too. And we're all in this together. And for what it's worth, I know how much Jack loves you. I saw it first hand when we were trapped together.", "Sharon: I know. When I thought that I might not ever see him again, of course, I was-- I was devastated, but I can't just keep living like this. I mean, lie after lie after lie? I mean, this marriage has just become--it's exhausting.", "[Nick's cell phone rings]", "Phyllis: I'm stuck. Literally. In the parking lot at the Athletic Club. At least, the car is.", "Nick: You want me to come get you?", "Phyllis: No, no, it's okay. The same thing will happen to you. The mayor declared it a state of emergency. Can you believe that?", "Nick: Well, Sharon's here. She's picking up Noah. It's a long story. I'll fill you in later. But keep me posted on your status, okay?", "Phyllis: Yeah, I'll see you soon. I love you.", "Nick: Okay. I love you. Okay, I don't think you should try and leave right now. The roads are worse than we think. Phyllis said they declared a state of emergency.", "Sharon: Um, well, we have to go home.", "Noah: No, we don't.", "Nick: You know what? Yeah, why don't you just wait around for a little bit. There might be a break in the weather.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: (Sighs)", "Nikki: I had hoped that we could... talk this through, but I forgot that that really means me agreeing with you and letting you win. And that's what makes me sad. Because it just becomes, \"I'm hurt,\" \"No, I'm hurt,\" \"You started it,\" \"No, you started it.\" It just is a pathetic way for us to end things, I think.", "Victor: Obviously, part of me wishes that we could... go back to what we once had. But we can't recapture it now.", "Nikki: No, I guess not. And on that note, may I be the first to wish you a Happy New Year.", "Victor: Yeah, Happy New Year.", "Nikki: And, Victor, I really do hope that... in this coming year, you'll be able to find whatever it is that will bring you peace. Good-bye.", "Victor: Wait a minute. You're not going out in this.", "Nikki: Victor, I'm just going to Sharon's.

Is it still bad there?", "Sharon: Yeah, it's worse.", "Jack: Yeah, here, too.", "Sharon: Some new year's eve, huh? I guess we'll just have to stay here until there's a break or something.", "Jack: I'm here, and I'll be here, waiting for you both.", "Sharon: Bye.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Dad? Where are you now? You keep showing up, but never when I need you the most.", "(Doorbell rings)", "Jack: Who the hell?", "Ashley: Hey, Jack. Whoo! What a mess! I miss L.A. already. Whoo!", "Jack: I don't believe this.", "Ashley: Yeah, me either. My plane was the last one to land. And I had to tip the limo driver a lot for him to bring me out here.", "Jack: What-- what are you doing here?", "Ashley: I fly through a blizzard to check up on my brother, and that's the best you can do? Jackie! I'm home!", "[NEXT_ON]", "Jack: Ash, something I have done is about to come out. It's gonna affect a lot of people in a bad way.", "Phyllis: I hope this little plan of yours blows up in your face.", "Victor: You get rid of this David Chow fellow, and I'll forgive you your debt." ]

Are you kidding me? Have you thought about Summer? What's she gonna do if you move a baby into the house?", "Phyllis: We already-- we all have to take a-- we have to make sacrifices. All of us, apparently.", "Daniel: No, no, no, no. Why? Why? What's the real reason here?", "Phyllis: Because you are not doing anything. I have to step up. And you are going to regret it if somebody else adopts her. Maybe not now, but you will in the future.", "Daniel: Maybe I will. Maybe I will someday. But you know what?

I need to protect my niece from the same hell I went through when I was a kid.", "Michael: What about protecting Lauren? She's your family, too. Look, Sheila was her Terrible Tom. She suffered. She suffered like you did. That's why no attachment to Daisy is acceptable.", "Kevin: What if there was a way to keep Daisy away permanently? Okay? A restraining order for when she gets out of prison?", "Michael: No, a court order's not gonna work. You're not hearing me.

He's the most loving, responsible, caring guy I know. I mean, he gave Ryder all those chances when everyone told him not to. And you, I mean, you destroyed his--his marriage, and he still feels a connection to you.", "Daisy: Right. He and I are so close.", "Chloe: Yeah, but he didn't abandon you, did he? When he had ever reason to. And you say that you want this child to not be raised by strangers. And, well, he is... he is the child's uncle.", "Daisy: Daniel would have to agree.", "Chloe: Yeah, well, I think that if you say yes, maybe all of that will... will change. And maybe he'll come around. But seriously. (Chuckles) I mean, he is the most loving, caring, and responsible guy I know. And isn't that what you want for your child?", "Daisy: Okay, I...", "Chloe: Isn't that what you want?", "Daisy: Oh, God, I am so sick of everyone talking about this baby like I'm an incubator with legs. No one gives a crap about me.", "Chloe: Yeah, uh, yes. I understand. I understand, because that's how I felt when I had Delia. You know, everybody-- everyone just wanted to be in control, and no one cared what I wanted.", "Daisy: This kid goes where I say. Mommy's gonna take care of you.", "Chloe: (Scoffs) You know, I-I was a lot like you. I was. I was a little master manipulator. But, you know, I had Delia, and everything changed. When I had her, I realized that I had her fate in the palm of my hands, and nothing else mattered.", "Daisy: You know what? I'm--I'm really tired.", "Chloe: You have the chance to really make things right. And I think that you know deep in your heart that Kevin would be a great choice for your daughter.

You both want to adopt my kid.", "Kevin: What exactly does he mean by that?", "Phyllis: I have offered to adopt Daisy's baby. She should be with family.", "Kevin: I am family. What's wrong with me?", "Phyllis: Kevin, I mean, do you really think you can handle an infant?", "Kevin: Well, I don't really think that's the important question. What matters is what's best for my niece, and I already told you I can give that kid a really loving childhood and make sure that Daisy has no influence over her.", "Phyllis: I-I applaud you for stepping up. Really. But you have no idea what it takes to raise a child. You have no clue. And I can give your niece exactly what she needs.", "Kevin: A good nanny?", "Phyllis: Okay, um... obviously, you have a lot of love to give. Obviously you do, and I think if we work together and join forces, we have a better case for adoption. What do you think?", "Kevin: How could we adopt a baby to-- (sighs) Phyllis, I... if you're proposing to me, uh, my answer's no.", "Phyllis: (Sighs) I'm crushed. Crushed. No. You would support my bid to adopt.", "Kevin: Why you? Why not me?", "Phyllis: (Sighs) Kevin, you are a single, divorced male with a questionable past.", "Kevin: (Scoffs) Your record isn't exactly squeaky clean. Hey, remember that time you lost custody of Daniel?", "Phyllis: Okay, that happened a long time ago. I am raising my daughter on my own. And I'm a damn good mother.", "Kevin: Well, maybe I just need to consult a family lawyer.", "Phyllis: Well, maybe. Uh, maybe. Uh, Michael's out of the question, isn't he?", "Kevin: Yeah, ya think?", "Phyllis: Listen, I don't think it'll go that far. I think if we bring this idea to Daisy, she'll sign off on it.", "Kevin: Won't Daniel try and stop us?", "Phyllis: He doesn't want to be involved with the baby. With, what, the mother, and the uncle, and the... grandmother in on this, I think that the judge would be fine with it.", "Kevin: Okay. So let's say that you, the grandmother, get custody of the kid. What role do I play?", "Phyllis: My house is always open to you. Always. Uncle Kev comes by, you know, to play, bring toys.", "Kevin: How do I know you're not gonna ace me out?", "Phyllis: (Sighs) Listen, you can trust that I want the best for that baby. I would be a fool to ace you out with all the love you have. Seriously. Plus, down the road, if Daniel changes his mind and he wants to be involved with her, he can. What do you say?", "Kevin: I'll think about it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Koa: Flashlight, gloves, water. You picked a good night for a hike, Lady.", "Sharon: I didn't actually come for the volcano. You know, my friend that I'm looking for, Skye, she's--she's missing. And the police back home think that she was murdered by someone very close to me. So, see, if I can prove that she's still alive, then I can get the man who I love out of jail.", "Koa: That's a sad story.", "Sharon: Please, if-- if you know anything--", "Koa: No, I'm sorry. No kokua. No kokua. I'm sorry. There. Sacrifice it to the crater. Maybe Pele'll smile on you, help you out.", "Man: Okay, listen up, people. Everyone's gonna need one pair of gloves to protect your hands. And make sure you have extra water. Use this. The trail can be treacherous. You're gonna need your hands.

If you plan for ten years, you plant Koa.\"", "Victor: \"You plant for a hundred years, you teach children.\"", "Koa: You must be Mr. Newman.", "Victor: (Chuckles)", "Koa: Nice to finally meet you.", "Victor: Hey, my man, nice to meet you. Uh... I went to Skye's house. She wasn't there.", "Koa: Is it satisfactory? Far from prying eyes?", "Victor: Very discreet. You did a hell of a job.", "Koa: You know, until today, your friend Skye was undisturbed.", "Victor: Has someone been looking for her?", "Koa: Yeah. A pretty wahine named, um...", "Victor: Let me guess. Sharon Newman?", "Koa: You're not surprised.", "Victor: Mnh-mnh. When was she here?", "Koa: She just left.", "Victor: Did she say where she went?", "Koa: Goin' for a hike on the crater.", "Victor: Uh-huh.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: You have a minute? Look, I feel bad about the argument. You know where I'm comin' from.", "Kevin: No, forget it. It doesn't matter. There's no chance I'm gonna get to adopt this kid. Not since mo-- \"Grandmother Teresa\" threw her hat in the ring.", "Michael: Phyllis? Phyllis wants this baby?", "Kevin: So she says.", "Chloe: Hi.", "Kevin: What do you want?", "Michael: W-what's all this about you wanting to adopt Daisy's baby?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lauren: Hey. Thanks for meeting me.", "Daniel: (Sighs) Might as well go ahead and get this out of the way. You can tell my mom it's no use sending her minions. She's not gonna change my mind. I'm actually kind of surprised that you would take her side in this, considering how you feel about Daisy.", "Lauren: W-whoa. I-I--wait. What are you talking about?", "Daniel: My mom didn't send you?", "Lauren: (Scoffs) No, I... what--what's going on?", "Daniel: My mother has checked into crazy town. She wants to adopt Daisy's baby.", "Lauren: She what?", "Daniel: Uh, you want a drink?", "Lauren: Yes. Bourbon, please.", "Daniel: Two bourbons. Uh, doubles. Thank you.", "Lauren: (Sighs)", "Daniel: Are you expecting a call?", "Lauren: No, um, if Daisy escapes, the alarm company texts me. Michael set it up.", "Daniel: I wouldn't stress out too much about that. She's about ready to pop.", "Lauren: I thought she wasn't due for a couple weeks.", "Daniel: Doc said it's gonna be soon.", "Lauren: Oh, why? Why is Phyllis doing this?", "Daniel: She's not doing anything yet. It's just talk right now.", "Lauren: Yeah, but she can't do anything without your permission.", "Daniel: The way her and Kevin are acting, you'd think they were the ones in control.", "Lauren: So who would you want to adopt the baby? Do you want Phyllis? Or do you want Kevin?", "Daniel: (Scoffs) If I have my way, neither one of 'em are gettin' their hands on that kid.", "Lauren: (Sighs)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Man: Gather around, you guys. Water break.", "Man: (Sighs) Don't forget to keep hydrating on the trail. You, Space cadet. Gloves on. That lava will cut you up good. (Sighs) Let's head out. Single file. Walk exactly where I go. A few steps off the path, and whoosh! You get zapped by a steam vent or worse. Stay together. No straggling.", "Man: Smell them sulfur fumes. (Inhales deeply) Feel that heat comin' off the ground?

Nutmeg?", "Chloe: (Chuckles) No, thanks. Okay, so... I'm sorry that Christmas was a disaster. But do you think that we could just get past that?", "Kevin: Past what?", "Chloe: Don't be like that.", "Kevin: I'm fine, Chloe. You're the one who seems to be a little weirded out.", "Chloe: I'm just trying to be sensitive to you.", "Kevin: (Chuckles) Why? Why, 'cause I told you I had feelings for you? It was just one of those \"In the moment\" things.", "Chloe: What?", "Kevin: You know, 'tis the season, good will towards men... and women.", "Chloe: So you don't feel that way about me?", "Kevin: I'm just saying, I think the whole thing got blown out of proportion.", "Chloe: Okay. So you tanked our friendship for no reason whatsoever?", "Kevin: I guess maybe I just wanted to do something nice for you before you latch onto the next guy who's gonna mistreat you.", "Chloe: Really? So then you lied to me because you pity me?", "Kevin: No, I wasn't lying. I'm saying--", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: These are all solid reasons why you should not adopt the baby.", "Phyllis: I--this is not a frivolous decision, Michael. I know that Lauren's going to be upset about it, but she can-- she can handle it.", "Michael: Will she?", "Phyllis: (Sighs)", "Michael: Whoa. Will she? You know since Daisy's return, that my wife has been a wreck.", "Phyllis: (Sighs) This is an innocent baby. It's an innocent baby. Nobody's taking responsibility for her.", "Michael: Too many people are taking responsibility for her. You don't have to volunteer. There are plenty of families who would like to adopt a sweet, little baby girl.", "Phyllis: I know. I know. I know that. This is my son's child.", "Michael: And Daisy's. Sheila Carter's offspring. And if she's half as resourceful as her mother was, you, your family, and that little baby will never be safe, and neither will Lauren or Fenmore.", "Phyllis: Okay, you know I'm not trying to do that. You know I'm not.", "Michael: Yes, yes, yes. So do what's right. Don't let that woman and her child have any attachment to any of us. And if not for Lauren's sake, please, do it for me.", "Phyllis: I can't do it.", "Michael: Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.", "Phyllis: I can't do what you want me to do. I can't do it.", "Michael: Listen to me. We have been through so much. I love you. Do not let this come between us.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Daniel: I didn't ask to be responsible for this baby, but I am, and I'm gonna do what's in her best interests. And being anywhere near Daisy I-is about as wrong as it gets.", "Lauren: Thank God you realize that.", "Daniel: I will use my parental rights to make sure this kid gets adopted, preferably across the country.", "Lauren: Yeah, but what if she fights you?", "Daniel: Then I'll take her to court if I have to. I mean, come on. How much weight could a judge possibly give to Daisy's opinion?", "Lauren: She's evil.", "Daniel: I know. And you and Jana can testify to that. I think that ultimately, Daisy's gonna see this my way.", "(Glasses clink)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jana: When I gave my original statement, everything was really foggy. I'd been kidnapped, and I'd been tortured... (Clears throat) And I was recovering from surgery, but en-enough time has passed now where I'm seeing things clearly. And, um... a lot of what I remember didn't quite happen the way that I said it did, and I just feel like it's my duty to tell someone about it.", "Woman: I'll take your statement and turn it over to the D.A.'s office.", "Jana: Thank you. Because I'd hate to see the wrong person being accused here. You see, when I was locked up in that cage... (Sighs) (Clears throat) When I was locked up in the cage, I blamed all three of them-- Ryder, Sarah, and Daisy. But now I see that Sarah was the actual monster. Daisy actually went out of her way to be kind. And I-I think it's, um, I think it's 'cause she was just as scared of Sarah as we were. But I can't in good conscience take the stand and testify that Daisy hurt me... because... because she never did.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Daisy: Oh, I thought for sure when we moved into daddy's that he'd change his mind. (Sniffles) That he'd want to step up and raise you, take care of you, be a part of our family. You know, he would have if-- if he had more time. But we don't. Oh, God. Oh, please, don't kick. No worries. (Sniffles) Jana's gonna keep me out of jail, and then no one will force me to give you away if I don't want to.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: (Sighs)", "(Steam vent hisses)", "Sharon: (Gasps) Aah! Oh!

You and I both know the truth, Nicholas.", "Nick: Yeah, the truth is if you gave a damn about Sharon, you would just stay away from her without being legally forced to do so, but in order for that to happen, Adam, you'd have to have a heart and know what real love is.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Angelo: Sorry. Trying to track down my daughter. (Scoffs) Kids. So what's this about a contract?

On the computer, Kevin works on a plan which he doesn't want Chloe to know about. Chloe asks what he is working on. She says that they are in this together.

Michael asks Kevin and Chloe what they were talking about. Billy lets Victoria know that he's taking the boys home. After he leaves, Victoria asks Victor what he said to Billy to make him leave.

I-I picked it up a while ago.", "Chelsea: Does it have a print of the one we loved from that-- from that B and B in Kansas?", "Adam: I marked the page and everything. I know that some of these images might-- they might make you feel a little sad or... reminiscent of what we once had, but I was hoping they might be symbolic of... maybe the future that we still have together.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Billy: Look at that.", "Victoria: What is that?", "Billy: Yeah, Buddy.

It's all--mm.", "Victor: But maybe I'm being unfair, you know. Maybe you got those video games for yourself, now that you're about to sell the magazine. Have you sold it, by the way? I don't know.

You know, Wisconsin is a community property state, which means that whatever idea you're working on is half mine. I'm entitled to see it.", "Kevin: Okay, I'll show you half of it.", "Chloe: Kevin.", "Kevin: It's better this way.

It's very thoughtful of you.", "Tucker: Yeah, I think what Katherine's trying to say is, it won't score me any points. But that's not why I'm here.

Great. Okay. Well, I will see you both later.", "Kevin: Later.", "Michael: Okay.", "Chloe: Bye.", "Michael: Oh, uh, oh, sorry.

(Sniffles)", "Chelsea: No, don't be. I didn't realize-- I mean, you never said anything about--", "Adam: You know, this Christmas was supposed to be-- supposed to be very different. And, uh, I pictured my... my hand on your tummy by the Christmas tree feeling... feeling our little boy kick, talking about next Christmas... (Sniffles) And would he be crawling? Would we need to baby-proof the tree? And...", "Chelsea: We'd be hanging one of those cheesy \"Baby's first Christmas\" ornaments. (Sighs)", "Adam: Yeah. Like... like one of those stories out of this book here. That's how it should have been.", "Chelsea: (Sighs)", "Adam: I'm sorry.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: It had nothing to do with us. We were talking about Noah.", "Michael: Noah Newman?", "Kevin: Yeah, this cop's been looking for him.", "Chloe: Yeah, we wanted to tell him, but then we thought we might get caught, so that's what you heard.", "Michael: What cop?", "Kevin: He's from New York. He's been coming in here asking some questions.", "Chloe: (Clenching lips) He's right over there.", "Michael: Excuse me.", "Michael: Hello. My name is Michael Baldwin. I'm the district attorney around these parts here.", "Alex: Yeah, I know.", "Michael: Interesting, since this is the first I'm hearing about you. It's unusual for a police officer to pursue a case outside of his jurisdiction without notifying the, uh, local authorities.", "Alex: Uh, I'm not here on official business.", "Michael: But you've been asking a lot of questions.", "Alex: I'm trying to find a girl I used to know in New York.", "Michael: Oh.", "Alex: Mm.", "Michael: Not Noah Newman?", "Alex: Oh, you know him? Because, uh, your little brother over there never heard of him.", "Michael: Kevin has an awful memory. I'm still not clear why you're here.", "Alex: Well, my friend was friends with Noah back in New York, so this seemed like a good place to start.", "Michael: Mm. Well, perhaps the lady prefers not to be found.", "Alex: (Laughs) Look, um, Mr. Baldwin, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not here to make any trouble. Happy holidays.", "Michael: Happy holidays.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: And then look at this bouquet. It's so unusual, isn't it? In a good way.", "Victoria: Yeah? It's pretty. It's very colorful.", "Nikki: (Sighs) I'm sorry I talked you into staying.", "Victoria: Well, you know, Billy told me not to get my hopes up, that Dad would just be Dad.", "Nikki: I think it says a lot that he was willing to make the effort.", "Victoria: (Sighs) Yeah, probably for the last time.", "Victor: Sweetheart, did you see the checkbook anywhere?", "Nikki: It's on the table.", "Victor: Oh. Okay. So... how do you like your mother's plans?", "Victoria: Dad, let's not pretend that nothing happened, okay?", "Victor: (Sighs) I'm trying, okay? I'm committed to make Billy part of this family. I mean, it may take me a while-- two steps forward, one back-- but I'm trying.", "Victoria: It's a little hard for me to trust that right now.", "Victor: You can trust me.", "Victoria: (Sighs)", "Nikki: Sweetheart, why don't you take some leftovers home? And then you don't have to cook tonight.", "Victoria: Oh, Mom, that's okay. I think I'm just gonna go, okay? I love you.", "Nikki: Love you.", "Victoria: (Sighs)", "Victor: I love you, okay?", "Victoria: I love you, Dad.", "Victor: I love you. (Sighs)", "Nikki: I don't know why you felt the need to provoke Billy tonight.", "Victor: I didn't provoke him.", "Nikki: Yeah, you did. You were doing so well at dinner last night.", "Victor: Sweetheart, I think you are making too much of this.", "Nikki: You could have chosen to give us the gift of a relaxing, wonderful holiday. Instead, we got this. And now our daughter is gone, and we don't know when or if she's coming back.", "Victor: She's so damn sensitive about this issue. She's overreacting, I'm telling you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: I knew you had to be feeling some of this. But I couldn't get you to talk to me.", "Adam: It's hard to put into words.", "Chelsea: And I felt like if I kept pushing, you would just-- you would... (Sighs)", "Adam: Take off?", "Chelsea: Yeah.", "Adam: I know.", "Chelsea: And go to Sharon.", "Adam: (Sighs) (Sniffles) You gotta understand. Uh, with her, there was something I could actually do. I could help fix things. I could make it better.", "Chelsea: And with me, you...", "Adam: Our son was already gone. There was--there was nothing that I could do. (Sighs)", "Chelsea: I just needed you to be real with me.", "Adam: (Sighs)", "Chelsea: I mean, you can't tell me that it really ends there with her, that it's nothing else. Is it?", "Adam: (Sniffling) It's complicated. (Clears throat) And it's like a jumbled mess in my head, and part of its guilt.", "Chelsea: Guilt?", "Adam: She lost her baby, too, because of me. I did that to her. And when it happened to us, it just kind of hit home what I did to her.", "Chelsea: You feel like you owe her?", "Adam: She's not a threat to us. As a matter of fact, she made me realize...", "Chelsea: What-- what are you talking about?", "Adam: She was here last night. We talked... (Sighs) About you.", "Chelsea: Are you telling me you-- Sharon rejected you?", "Adam: No, that's not what I'm saying. It's not what happened.", "Chelsea: You want me now because you can't have her.", "Adam: (Sniffles) Chelsea, I want you now because I realized that I want you, and I want to have a family with you.", "Chelsea: And Sharon helped you realize what you wanted now, Adam? If she had taken you back, would I even be standing here right now? Oh, my God.", "Adam: Chelsea. Chelsea--", "Chelsea: This was such a mistake. This was a huge, huge mistake!

I'm sorry to say I don't have a thing for you.", "Tucker: Well, I didn't expect it. But, um, I would like to ask for something. Could the two of us have dinner sometime this week?", "Jill: She's, um, free tomorrow night.", "Kay: Jill, Jill, Jill, Jill, Jill. I'm perfectly capable of answering on my own, thank you very much.", "Tucker: Well, before you do, I should let you know I'm not gonna give up until you say yes, or until one of us leaves this earthly sphere, whichever comes first.", "Kay: It simply doesn't mean anything-- anything has changed.", "Tucker: I get it. I'll be happy with some straight talk.

All right, see you soon.", "Cane: All right, see you.", "Lily: (Laughs) You ready?", "Cane: (Sighs) Yeah.", "Lily: What?", "Cane: You know he has a crush on you.", "Lily: What?! No.", "Cane: Yeah.", "Lily: No. No, he's just friendly, okay? Stop it.", "Cane: No, he has a crush on you.", "Lily: Well, what-- is that why you've been so grouchy? (Gasps)", "Cane: Grouchy? I'm not being grouchy.", "Lily: Oh, my gosh, you're jealous. Oh, that's so cute.", "Cane: I'm not jealous, and I'm not grouchy.", "Lily: Listen, Bab--Honey?", "Cane: Mm-hmm.", "Lily: You have nothing to worry about, okay?", "Cane: Yeah? Yeah? Well, I know that. But does he?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: (Sighs) I admit that the party wasn't what it could have been, okay? But it wasn't a total disaster. Yes, I admit that Victoria told me I crossed the line, but you know, we have survived worse.", "Nikki: Look, here's the thing-- you think the problem is that we are all overreacting, and that's not the case. Now how do I know you're not gonna keep thinking that?", "Victor: (Sighs) Okay. Before we have another party where Billy Abbott comes, why don't you write the lines for me? I'll memorize them. How's that?", "Nikki: Mm-hmm.", "Victor: I can't stand the guy, Sweetheart. He's full of bluster, full of bull. Why can't our daughter see that?", "Nikki: You promised her.", "Victor: Okay, and I'll keep my promise. I promise to you, I'll keep it. I'll make the biggest effort.", "Nikki: All right, we are very grateful for that effort... when you make it.", "Victor: Can you just forgive me? Let's get past this, okay? I'll be a good boy. Do you want to look at the bouquets?", "Nikki: Yeah. Oh.", "Victor: What?", "Nikki: Aren't you supposed to take that check over to the mission before Nicholas gets here?", "Victor: Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I forgot. Let me take care of that, okay?", "Nikki: Mm-hmm.", "Victor: Right now. Come here. I'll be right back.", "Nikki: Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: I'm so, so sorry.", "Billy: Don't be.", "Victoria: (Sighs)", "Billy: For Victor, that was actually good behavior.", "Victoria: I mean, where does he get off voicing his opinion on what you do with your time? If you wanted to quit, it would be fine by me.", "Billy: Hmm.", "Victoria: You'd just be available to me more often. It'd be great.", "Billy: Yeah? It'd be great?", "Victoria: Yeah.", "Billy: Come here.", "Victoria: (Gasps) Aah! Whoo!", "Billy: (Groans) The next time that I say, \"Let's go to Jamaica for the holidays\"...", "Victoria: I will have my bags packed before you finish your sentence.", "Billy: Ahh, very good. Do you know what we were doing this time last year?", "Victoria: Mm... something to do with vows and a church?", "Billy: Mm-hmm. Who said we weren't gonna make it a year?", "Victoria: We're gonna have a lot more anniversaries.", "Billy: Yeah?", "Victoria: Yeah.", "Billy: A lot more?", "Victoria: A lot more.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kay: Oh, thank you.", "Cane: Well, we didn't make it to the Christmas parade, either, this year, so...", "Kay: (Chuckles) But in your case, it's not because you're under house arrest.", "Lily and Cane: House arrest?", "Jill: (Sighs) Her doctor put her under orders to take it easy, okay?", "Tucker: Why is that?", "Kay: Because she's a neurotic ninny.", "Jill: Yeah, right. For no good reason at all. Just merely because she fainted the other day.", "Tucker: What?", "Kay: It was nothing! Low blood sugar.", "Cane: Oh, really? You sure it wasn't more to do with stress?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: Hey.", "Kevin: Hey.", "Chloe: Check this out.", "Kevin: Where'd you find this?", "Chloe: The N.Y.P.D. web site.", "Kevin: This is awesome.

How do we get to it before he does?", "Kevin: We'll figure that out when we get there.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Jamie? Jamie, where the hell have you been? We've been worried sick about you.

It's clear the way you see me. Dad, thanks... but no, thanks.", "Victor: Well, I'll be damned.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Michael: Come on. You're coming home with me.", "Jamie: No, I-it's okay.

Come on. Come on.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: I feel like I let you down.", "Billy: No, don't. I told you I don't blame you for Victor's shenanigans.", "Victoria: No, I don't mean that. We had an agreement.", "Billy: (Chuckles)", "Victoria: You remember?", "Billy: Mm-hmm.", "Victoria: I was gonna reward you for coming with me to my parents' house, but we both ran out of there in such a huff that... (sighs heavily) I guess I'm not gonna be able to make good on it.", "Billy: I don't know about that. I'm a flexible guy. You're a flexible girl.", "Victoria: Mm-hmm.", "Billy: I'm sure we can work something out.", "Victoria: Really?", "Billy: Mm-hmm.", "Victoria: You would do that for me? You're so good to me.", "Billy: Oh, absolutely. Let's go upstairs and negotiate.", "Victoria: (Giggles) Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.", "Kay: (Chuckles)", "Jill: Sorry.", "Cane: That's all right.

We'll see.", "Tucker: Jill, why didn't you tell me that Katherine passed out?", "Jill: Look, I am sorry. I'm keeping a really close eye on her, and so is her doctor.", "Tucker: What'd the doctor say?", "Jill: That she needed to cut back on her stress level.

But now I am done... with all of it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: I think we had an arrangement.", "Adam: The deal's off, Dad. You overplayed your hand.", "Victor: I'm still holding that hand. I can put you and Sharon behind bars anytime.", "Adam: You're welcome to try. There's no way to tie either of us to any kind of a crime.", "Victor: You don't think I'll find the arsonist you hired to start the other fires?", "Adam: It'd be tough, since he doesn't exist.", "Victor: You're playing a dangerous game, my boy.", "Adam: More threats.", "Victor: Mm-hmm.", "Adam: Is that all you got, Dad? What kind of a father shows up to his son's doorstep on Christmas, first to taunt me and then try and intimidate me? You have some serious, serious problems, Dad.", "Victor: I brought you some tequila and some pills. Don't you make an enemy of me. That'd be very dumb.

[ "Jill: [Chuckles] Damn you, Katherine. Here I thought I had my new year's resolution all set. Stop obsessing on your pathetic little mind game. But how can I do that when every day there's some reminder of what an ogre you were? Well, here's a headline that should make you proud. Billionaire grandson trashing a hotel room like the worst kind of hoodlum. See, this is what happens when you leave billions of dollars to some irresponsible kid who isn't equipped to handle it. [Sighs] Should've bequeathed it to me. I would've invested it and watched your fortune grow, but no. Devon's got to be squandering it on frivolous nonsense.", "Hilary: Like that million-dollar reward for information on your granddaughter's killer? Is that the sort of thing you consider frivolous, Jill?", "Jill: Well, Hilary, please come in.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Billy: Oh, guess what time it is, folks. It's America's favorite game, \"Guess what mommy's forgetting.\"", "Victoria: And...go.", "Billy: Boarding passes.", "Victoria: In my purse.", "Billy: Presents for Reed.", "Victoria: Yep.", "Billy: Snacks for the plane.", "Victoria: Affirmative. I've got everything I need. Except...for you. I know -- I know we're only gonna be gone a few days, but I'm really gonna miss you.", "Billy: No, you're not.", "Victoria: Yes, I am.", "Billy: No, you're not. You know why? 'Cause I'm not gonna give you a chance. G.C. to D.C., round-trip ticket.", "Victoria: What?! You're coming with us?", "Billy: Well, not exactly with. The plane was full. But I got a seat on the next one, so yeah.", "Victoria: [Gasps] Reed is gonna be so thrilled!", "Billy: Oh, yes. Until we have to play because I'm going to beat him. He's going to lose his title of reigning champ of \"Attack of Killer Alien Zombies.\" I will not rest until I beat this kid in an epic rematch. My title.", "Victoria: It feels so good to have things back to normal.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kyle: The research you asked for. I think you'll find it very enlightening.", "Victor: Bonaventure Industries. That wasn't due till next week. Have a seat, Kyle.", "Kyle: You said it was a top priority, Sir.", "Victor: You know, Kyle, in my experience... the devil lies in the details. And to study details usually takes a long time.", "Kyle: I went over the financials with a microscope, Victor. And I think you'll be pleased to know that Bonaventure is on track to post a profit this quarter, so it sounds like a keeper to me.", "Victor: Maybe. Maybe not.", "Kyle: Why would you jettison a company in a hot industry that's just beginning to gain traction?", "Victor: Why, indeed?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: So I guess Kyle turned out to be a better mole than even you thought he'd be.", "Jack: Well, I had my doubts at first. But hear this. He managed to smuggle out a copy of Bonaventure's preliminary quarterly report.", "Adam: Anything interesting?", "Jack: A sea of red ink parting. They're announcing their first profit ever, way ahead of schedule.", "Adam: What do you think it means?", "Jack: Not sure, but given all that, Victor's gonna hold on to this subsidiary, which gives us time to see if anything hinky is going on.", "Adam: Speaking of the \"Us\" thing, Jack... while I applaud your efforts to undermine my father, I'm afraid that I'm gonna have to bow out.", "Jack: Wait. I thought you wanted payback.", "Adam: There's something I want even more.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: So, I brought by your favorite chocolate croissants. I brought a bunch of new samples for you since you weren't crazy about the last ones that we looked at on Christmas. Oh, and I also brought by Connor's onesie. I accidentally took it the other day.

It's actually really not that important -- not as important as the papers you're looking at.", "Chelsea: My divorce is final.", "Chloe: Oh. Those papers.", "Chelsea: I mean, we signed them a while ago, but now it's official. [Sighs] So now I have no connection to Dylan at all, legally or otherwise.", "Chloe: None?

I put in the hours like I always do.", "Victor: You know, Kyle, it seems to me that you and Noah spend a lot of time competing with each other. I may not have made myself perfectly clear. I thought I'd done so by implication. I want the two of you to join forces.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jill: How my family and I are dealing with Delia's death is really none of your concern.", "Hilary: I'm just trying to give you a little perspective.

Jack wants you to go through them, see if you can spot anything useful.", "Jill: Fantastic.", "Hilary: I see you still have Katherine's music box. Guess you decided to keep it after all.", "Jill: No, I did not. But every time I try to get rid of it, it boomerangs back to me.", "Hilary: Well, maybe you should take it as a sign.", "Jill: [Sighs] What kind of a sign? That I didn't rate an appropriate parting gift while she leaves her billions to Devon to squander in Vegas?", "Hilary: You shouldn't believe everything you read.", "Jill: Why? Did you have a hand in that? Are you missing tearing people's lives apart?", "Hilary: Yeah, I've done some terrible things, okay? But Devon hasn't. He doesn't deserve to be vilified.", "Devon: Don't bother, Hilary.", "Jill: That is good advice. There is no defense for disrespecting Katherine's memory.", "Hilary: And how is trying to unload her music box any different?", "Jill: You can go now. And you, Devon...", "Devon: Yes?", "Jill: Who said there's no such thing as bad publicity?", "Devon: I've seen that. I know.

I'm just gonna come out and say it that you're hung up on your ex.", "Chelsea: I've moved on, Chloe.", "Chloe: No, what you've done is you have moved in with Adam because he threatened to cut Connor out of your life.

Did you love him? Was that a lie?", "Chelsea: It doesn't matter anymore. I signed the papers. And no, before you ask, I'm not regretting my decision. I just think, you know, it was a little startling to get those letters in my mailbox this morning. That's all.", "Chloe: Yeah, I can understand how you feel that way.", "Chelsea: And it was a reminder, you know, of all the ways I hurt Dylan. But it's okay now. He's happy. He's moved on with Avery.

I -- I know that you guys slept with each other, but I was just chalking that up to you having a serious lapse of judgment.", "Chelsea: Do you really have to bash him every single time his name comes up?", "Chloe: I know what you're gonna say next. You're gonna say, \"Chloe, he's changed. Adam is a different man.\" It's not possible.

I could have given that to her. But I didn't because of Newman, or, rather, my unhealthy obsession with it.", "Jack: Some of your motives were noble.", "Adam: Name one.", "Jack: I needed someone to cover for me at Newman when I was getting clean, and you stepped up.", "Adam: I used it as a perfect opportunity to prove something to my father, and in the end, I end up finding out that approval from the old man didn't mean that much to me.", "Jack: Be that as it may --", "Adam: Look, I told the guy that I don't want him in my life anymore. I meant what I said. I am building my own business, my own company, my own empire. I'm using my hedge fund. I'm just gonna make a fresh start.", "Jack: With Chelsea.", "Adam: Remember that conversation that we had about redemption?", "Jack: I remember you were adamant that the two of you could never go back to the way things were.", "Adam: I was scared to hope that they could.", "Jack: And now you're not. What's changed?", "Adam: Something you said. Stop looking back and start focusing on the future. Jack, every time I do that, I can't help but see Chelsea and our son in my future. So I will not let anyone or anything from my past get in the way of that.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: I'm sorry. That really came out wrong. You know, there's really nothing normal about the last two months we've had. I-I guess what I should have said is that things are starting to feel more familiar. That's all.", "Billy: You don't have to explain yourself to me.", "[Toy clatters]", "[Horn honks]", "Billy: Whoa.", "Victoria: That's the car to the airport.", "Billy: Okay, I'll get the bags. You get....", "[Toy clatters]", "Billy: Um, happy holidays.", "Victoria: Hey.", "Billy: Thanks.", "Victoria: Listen, you know, if the trip is too much for you right now, you know --", "Billy: No, no, no, no. I have to take care of a few things at the restaurant, but I'll be on the next plane to D.C. I can't wait to see Reed. And, Baby, no, don't cry. Take care of your mama. Be good for her, okay?", "Victoria: You know I never want to do or say anything to upset you. You know --", "Billy: You didn't. You're fine. We're fine. You didn't. We're okay.", "Victoria: All right.", "Billy: Okay.", "Victoria: I'll see you later.", "Billy: Love you. Bye.", "Victoria: Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jill: Identity theft?", "Devon: Yes. I was never in Vegas.", "Jill: [Sighs]", "Devon: Someone is posing as me. The guy has my name, he has my credit card, and now I'm the one who's in trouble with the police.", "Jill: So what are you doing to get yourself out of it?", "Devon: Leslie's working on cleaning up the mess. The first step, though, is to prove that I'm the victim.", "Jill: Better yet, keep your distance from people who are only out for themselves, okay? Like Hilary.", "Devon: I learned a really important lesson from my grandmother, and that's that everyone deserves a second chance.", "Jill: Just heed my words, okay? Be careful who you lean on. Money can change people. I've seen it happen.", "Devon: I know that, and I'm working hard to not let it change me, too.", "Jill: Good. But it can sneak up on you.", "Devon: I appreciate the warning. And my eyes are open. Okay? I'm doing the best I can to honor Katherine and the gift that she gave me, and I think you should do the same.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: I know you're just trying to be a good friend. But you're wrong about Adam. He has changed.", "Chloe: Okay.", "Chelsea: He has. Look, Chloe, for one thing, he couldn't care less about Newman.", "Chloe: That's because Newman doesn't exist anymore. Victor crushed it and left Adam and Jack with crumbs.", "Chelsea: That's not what I'm talking about, Chloe. He is determined to be a better father to Connor than Victor ever was to him, which isn't gonna be very hard, considering Adam is actually present in Connor's life.", "Chloe: I'm just not so sure if that's a good thing.", "Chelsea: How can you even say something like that?!", "Chloe: Because I don't understand how you would want your son to emulate Adam... I mean, teach him to be... cold and ruthless.", "Chelsea: He puts on an act for most people. He hides his emotions. So in turn he ends up looking callous to some people. But I know him, Chloe. He hurts. And he bleeds. Just like everybody else. And he cares. He cares so deeply about the people that are important to him. Victor -- he's not on that list anymore. Victor was the problem. He's what got between us last time, but now -- now we really finally have a chance to get it right.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kyle: Noah's name is on the front of this building. Mine is not. So, yes, I do feel like I have to work harder, but make no mistake about it, I'm up for the challenge.", "Victor: You know, Kyle, I have no doubt about your abilities. It's your sincerity I question.", "Kyle: Because I'm an Abbott.", "Victor: Well, you might have an easier time working at Jabot.", "Kyle: Very true. But I want to succeed at something meaningful.", "Victor: Uh-huh.", "Kyle: And how can I expect to do that at a place where I will have a job no matter how I perform? That's not how you grow. That's how you become complacent.", "Victor: Well...", "Kyle: And I would think, as a self-made man, that you'd respect that. Here I have an opportunity to shine because I have to prove myself every single day.", "Victor: How would you like another opportunity to prove yourself? You up for the challenge?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Billy: Hey. Kelly. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's wrong? Hey, hey, hey, hey. No, no, no. You don't have to hide from me. Hey, what's wrong? Oh, Honey, what's wrong?", "Kelly: [Sobs]", "Billy: I was about to go to a meeting if you'd like to go talk.", "Kelly: No. Sorry, Billy. I can't go and sit in a circle and listen to everyone else discuss how hard their Christmas was without their kids. [Voice breaking] I don't want to hear about it because I'm living it. I spent the day in my apartment. No stocking, no tree... no Christmas cookies to decorate. That was Sam's favorite. I shouldn't be falling apart like this. It's been almost a year.", "Bly: You told me that there's no time frame on this sort of thing.", "Kelly: I'm supposed to be getting better. I thought I was. But then I'll see a little boy that looks like Sam, or I'll hear his favorite song on the radio. And that'll bring me right back to that hospital room, just begging for my little boy to hang on. So just... [Sniffles] I just want this agony to stop.", "Billy: Hey, hey, hey. Honey, your hands are freezing. How long have you been out here? Come on. Let's go. No, no. Come on.", "Kelly: No.", "Billy: I'm driving you home. Come on.", "Kelly: No. Your meeting.", "Billy: There'll be another meeting. You can't be alone. Come on. Let's get out of here. Come on. Let's not cry in public. Let's go. All right? Alright.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: So, you know, I got this book the other day, \"It's called a breakup because it's broken.\" You know, it kind of says it all. So I was thinking that maybe I could strap you up to a chair and read it out loud until you come to your senses.", "Chelsea: Look, I know that you'll never be a fan of Adam's. I get it. But if I have to defend him every single time you come to our home --", "Chloe: \"Our home\"! Oh, my God! No!", "Chelsea: Please stop it. It is my life, and this is my decision, and you have to respect that.", "Chloe: Okay. I understand that. But you are a mother now. And it's not just about you.", "Chelsea: You're right. And I am doing what is best for my son. Connor deserves to have a real family. He deserves to be surrounded by all the people who love him -- his mom and his dad and his godmother, who I'm looking at right now if she says yes.", "Chloe: Wait, you're -- are you asking me --", "Chelsea: Yeah, I mean, I know it's a lot to ask, but if anything were to ever happen to Adam and me, I would feel so much better knowing Connor was with you. You've already done so much for him, Chloe.", "Chloe: The fact that you even thought of me...", "Chelsea: Of course. So, is that a yes?", "Chloe: Of cou-- yes. Of course I would love to be the godmother of your son. And I promise to love him like my very own.", "Chelsea: Oh.", "Chloe: Oh, thank you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Well, hello, Son.", "Adam: Victor.", "Victor: How's my grandson doing? I haven't seen Connor for a while.", "Adam: I'll be in touch.", "Victor: No threats, no warnings to stay away from my own flesh and blood?", "Adam: I meant what I said when I told you I didn't want you in my life anymore. As far as I'm concerned, Chelsea and Connor are my only living family now.", "Victor: Chelsea's your family. Are you that naive?", "Jack: Don't you have somewhere you have to be?", "Victor: Stay out of it, Jack. So you're gonna play house with Chelsea. That won't last, Son.", "Adam: What part of \"I don't give a damn what you think\" is failing to register? Your opinion is meaningless. It means less than nothing. I don't want you darkening my doorstep. I don't want your shadow falling over my son. I don't want you showing up at the penthouse. And I don't want you arranging to run into us anywhere or anytime. I don't want your presence near my family. And if you're smart, you'll keep your distance. All right? I was once where you are. Standing by the side of the old man, expecting to be groomed for bigger and better. Don't buy into it. There is so much more to life than being smothered under the thumb of Victor Newman.", "Jack: Couldn't have said that any better myself.", "Victor: Our business appointment will be here soon.", "Kyle: I will... [Clears throat] I will get us a table.", "Victor: Thank you, son.", "Kyle: I just want to be clear on the production date so we can all be on the same page.", "Victor: All right.", "Hilary: I dropped off the Bonaventure file to Jill. That's all I have to report, since she kicked me out before I could...", "Jack: I'm sure Jill will weigh in once she's had a chance to look at the material.", "[Both chuckle]", "Victor: It's the truth.", "Kyle: Yeah.", "Hilary: Kyle seems comfortable with Victor.", "Jack: Yeah, a little too comfortable.", "Hilary: You thinking about pulling him out of there?", "Jack: He's an adult. He can decide whether or not he's gonna help. And he has helped. I mean, he got us that file.", "Hilary: Yeah, by selling his soul to Victor Newman.", "Jack: Pretending to.", "Hilary: I know firsthand how easy it can be to get caught up in a lie.", "[Indistinct conversation]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: Hey.", "Chelsea: \"Hey\" yourself.", "Adam: Is Connor taking his nap?", "Chelsea: Yeah. I put him down two hours ago.", "Adam: Little guy's still asleep, huh?", "Chelsea: [Chuckles] I think its sensory overload from yesterday.", "Adam: [Groans] Well, it was a great Christmas.", "Chelsea: It really was.", "Adam: I think it was one of my top-10 best days of my life.", "Chelsea: Mine too. I always imagined that's what having a family felt like. I'm just so glad Connor will never have to wonder either. You know, no matter what happens, he will always know that he's loved. And if we're not here to show him... Chloe will be.", "Adam: What's that?", "Chelsea: Okay, so I asked Chloe to be Connor's godmother, and she accepted right away. You're still cool with that, right?", "Adam: I know how important this is to you. And I want you to be happy.", "Chelsea: Yes. Thank you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chloe: I knew you'd want that back.", "Jill: You did?", "Chloe: Well, I heard you cussed out mom pretty good for putting it back under the tree. But I'm the one who took it out from the trash.", "Jill: Why on earth would you do that?", "Chloe: Do you know there are so many things I wish I'd held on to? Things that I didn't think would be important at the time, like Delia's first pair of ballet slippers. I would give anything to have those now.", "Jill: Sweetie... this is different, okay. You're talking about something that your little girl loved, which gave her joy. I mean, this is just some old, worthless knickknack.", "Chloe: I'm sure it meant something to Katherine if she passed it on to you.", "Jill: [Sighs] You know, I knew that woman for decades upon decades, and never once did she mention a music box.", "Chloe: I'm sure that it might not seem important to you now, but I just didn't want you to chuck it and regret it later.", "Jill: I won't regret it.", "Chloe: Jill, seriously, hold on to it. Once you lose something precious, you can't ever get it back.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Mason: Hey, Devon. Yo, I heard what happened in Vegas, man. That's crazy. Someone's actually going around pretending to be you?", "Devon: Yeah. It's really crazy. It's really crazy. How'd you -- how'd you know it wasn't me?", "Mason: What do you mean?", "Devon: I mean how did you know it was a case of stolen identity?", "Mason: Dude, it's all over the news.", "Devon: Right, but the media's only been reporting my arrest. It hasn't been mentioned anywhere that there's another party posing as me.", "Mason: I know you. I mean, you're not the type to party all night, much less skip out on a bill. I mean, why would you do that when you got all that money sitting around in the bank?", "Devon: Yeah, well, I'm glad that someone believes me.", "Mason: Of course I do, man. Come on. I got your back. Anyway, I'm just heading down to the gym. Want to put on the gloves, go a few rounds?", "Devon: Yeah. Sure.", "Mason: All right. [Grunts] What the hell is your problem, Devon?!", "Devon: Yeah, what the hell, Mason? I know it was you. I know it was you living off my dime in Vegas and then cutting out so that I'd get arrested.", "Mason: I don't know where you got such a ridiculous idea from -- Hilary. Hilary's been spreading her damn lies again. You know, when are you gonna stop trusting that gold digger?", "Devon: Who should I trust, Mason? Should I trust you?", "Mason: Yes.", "Devon: Hilary didn't smear my family on her own. She had plenty of help from you.", "Mason: I told you I only went along with her plan until I found out she was using me.", "Devon: And you stopped 'cause, what, you have so much integrity and self- esteem?", "Mason: This whole Vegas scam, it reeks of her, man. Listen, you need to trust me.", "Devon: Mason, shut up. You can't even admit to what you've done. You're standing here, lying to my face, pointing the blame at Hilary. You disgust me. I don't have proof that you did it, but I'm going to get it, and when I do, I'm gonna make sure that you go down for this. You can count on that.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: Excellent work. You handled that man like an old pro.", "Kyle: Well, it's easy when you learn from the best. I have picked up so much observing you at the office, Victor.", "Victor: You pick up things very quickly, Kyle. And more importantly, you know how to deal with people. Now, that's instinctive. That can't be taught. I mean, that guy was ready to do business right now.", "Kyle: Well, I am delighted that you're pleased. And I hope this puts to rest any doubts you might have about my commitment to Newman-Chancellor.", "Victor: You have a place in my company, okay?", "Kyle: Glad I passed the test.", "Victor: See you at the office, okay?", "Kyle: Yes, Sir. All right, how's it going?", "Jack: Well, not as well as you. You had that client eating out of your hand.", "Kyle: You noticed that, huh?", "Jack: Hard not to.", "Hilary: Your meeting -- anything about Bonaventure?", "Kyle: No, no, no, no.", "Hilary: Oh. Sorry. I just assumed. Um, you walked over here so excited, I thought you had some new leads for us.", "Kyle: Uh, not yet, but I'm sure I will soon. I am perfectly positioned.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kelly: Thanks for bringing me home. I would have managed just fine.", "Billy: I didn't want to leave you alone when you're that upset.", "Kelly: Well, I'm used to being alone. The quiet in this place...", "Billy: Oh, yes. That. Probably won't ever get used to that. I don't think I ever will.", "Kelly: I'll put some coffee on.", "Billy: Yes. Thank you. That would be great.", "Kelly: Yeah, that's Sam on his first soccer game. He actually scored a goal. He was so proud of himself. Couldn't wipe the smile off his face for weeks. But then again, Sam was always smiling.", "Billy: Yeah, that was Dee Dee, too. [Chuckles] Her laugh, man, she'd have us all going. It was hard not to be happy when you were around that kid.", "Kelly: Well, I forgot to ask you, 'cause I was crying like a baby, but how was your Christmas?", "Billy: I tried, you know. I was doing all the things that Delia loved. But, uh, she wasn't there.", "Kelly: To share them with you.", "Billy: Actually, I know this sounds crazy, but, uh...I feel like I saw her on Christmas morning.", "Kelly: [Scoffs] It doesn't sound crazy.", "Billy: Huh.", "Kelly: Listen, I see Sam all the time. When I'm walking through the park, I see him on the swings. I know he's not really there. But it helps me to imagine that he's still having fun. What was Delia doing?", "Billy: [Sighs] Her favorite thing -- opening presents. She was so beautiful. And she was so at peace, you know. But I know better than that, because I know my daughter can't be at peace when her killer's still out there.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: Can you believe that little guy is still sleeping? He must be having one heck of a dream.", "Adam: How long have you had this?", "Chelsea: It arrived this morning. As of today, I am officially divorced.", "Adam: [Sighs] How do you feel?", "Chelsea: Dylan and I have been over for months now. That's just a formality. Dylan is forging ahead with his life, and I want to focus on our future.", "Adam: So, what do you envision? A house? More kids?", "Chelsea: More kids? Ah! Maybe when Connor's a little bit older. For now, I think we should focus on taking advantage of the fact that our son is still asleep.", "Adam: I like that idea.", "Chelsea: Yeah.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jill: [Groans] What are you looking at? [Sighs]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Hilary: You get into it with another reporter? Hmm?", "Devon: No. I, uh, I was paying back a friend. I should have listened to you when you warned me about Mason.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kyle: Listen, I had better get back to the office.", "Jack: Whoa. Just a minute. I want to hear more about this meeting.", "Kyle: Just a new business pitch.", "Jack: Who's the client?", "Kyle: Commercial construction outfit -- mainly warehouses, super stores, fast- food joints. He's actually the third-largest consumer of corrugated metal in North America. And that's where Newman-Chancellor comes in, and he is gonna sign on the dotted line. You know, Victor actually said that, uh...", "Jack: Victor said what?", "Kyle: He said he liked the way that I handled myself.", "Jack: He's buttering you up for the kill.", "Kyle: Maybe. Or maybe I'm good at what I do.", "Jack: No, you are good at what you do. And he's very good at recognizing talent. I'm not surprised that he complimented you or that he wanted you to partner with him on the pitch. Despite his dubious charm, he is a good salesman.", "Kyle: Actually, Victor let me take over the entire pitch.", "Jack: I hate to rain on your parade --", "Kyle: Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad. Don't worry. I am being careful. I will not let myself get sucked in. My loyalty is to you... and to the Abbotts.", "Jack: A little reminder now and then is not a bad thing.", "Kyle: [Chuckles]", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Adam: You have an amazing sense of timing, little man.", "Chelsea: [Chuckles] Hi. You're finally awake, huh.", "Adam: Yes, he is. Let's see if you're hungry.", "Chelsea: So, daddy, what do you see in our future?", "Adam: [Sighs] Aside from what this little guy interrupted... I don't know. I see, uh... I see a big house that you and I live in and a big yard for our kids to run around.", "Chelsea: \"Kids\"? More than just Connor?", "Adam: This is my visit of the future, is it not? Yeah, I see... I see us married with kids.", "[Connor fussing]", "Chelsea: You want to get married?", "Adam: Your divorce is finalized. Nothing standing in our way.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: \"This folder got mixed in with my stuff somehow. Hope it wasn't too important. Noah.\"", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: Hey, Honey. It's me. So, guess what I forgot to check. The weather. There's a huge storm on the east coast, and the Reagan airport is smack-dab in the middle of it. So flights are delayed. Anyway, I might end up seeing you at the airport, after all, or later at home, um, if the weather doesn't let up. Either way, I just really want to spend this weekend together as a family. I love you so much.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kelly: Here you go.", "Billy: Thank you.", "Kelly: You know, I find that when I get caught up in the rage, it only makes me feel worse. So I would rather think about Sam and the happier times.", "Billy: I know I need to let go of the anger. I do pay attention in group.", "Kelly: [Chuckles]", "Billy: I'm trying here, man, but I'm telling you, every time I think I got a handle on it, it just comes --", "Kelly: Keeps coming back.", "Billy: Like today, my wife... she made a comment... and, actually, things were going really well. I mean, we were laughing for the first time in, God, I don't know when. But then she said how happy she was that things were getting back to normal. Normal. Really? What the hell is normal? Tried not to get mad at her. I know what she means. Just focusing on trying to get our lives back to normal for our family, you know, for -- for her and for Johnny and for me. And I'm telling you, I love my wife, I love my kid, but nothing's gonna be normal for me anymore. It's not gonna be normal without my daughter. It's not gonna be normal because she's not there, and I can't talk to her about her day or have her charm me into letting her stay up late. I miss my kid. I just miss my kid.", "Kelly: Hey.", "Billy: I'm sorry, okay.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Jill: Victoria, where's Billy?", "Victoria: Um, actually, I'm not sure.", "Dylan: I've got more questions about Ian Ward.", "Nikki: You're not planning on going to look for him, are you?", "Victor: I want definitive proof.", "P.I.: And if it turns out the driver was Adam Newman?", "Victor: So be it." ]

[ "Jack and Neil are on the phone trying to find a place for their fundraising banquet but with no luck. Ashley meets with Victor to ask him for help in using Newman Towers for the banquet. Victor is puzzled as to why Jack would want help from him. Ashley lets him know that Jack doesn't know she is here. At the McAvoy home, Sharon tries to get through to Dylan and to get him to tell her his feelings but he clams up and won't talk. At GC Buzz, Dylan commends Hilary on her performance. Dylan tells Sharon that he saw Nick at the Coffeehouse and Nick told him that them seeing Christian on Christmas Eve has not changed anything between them. Dylan leaves abruptly for the police station without talking to her about his feelings. Hilary asks Mariah for help with the fundraising banquet. Mariah hesitates at first but then agrees to help her. Jack and Neil discuss the foundation and how it helps a lot of people. Victor wonders why he should help Jack and his foundation. Victor agrees to help them but he sets conditions on his help. Ashley wonders what the conditions are. Victor tells her that he wants Brash and Sassy to stay in the same building as Jabot because of Victoria. At home, Devon and Hilary discuss new ideas for GC Buzz. Devon surprises her with a rack full of dresses from Fenmore's to try on to see which one she would want to wear for the banquet. Hilary tells him that she loves them as she kisses him. Noah visits Sharon to see how she is doing considering what happened between them and Nick. They discuss Faith and the Merry Christmas that Victor and Nikki had given her. In Paul's office at the police station, Christine and Dylan discuss a new mission for him and how he cannot tell anyone including Sharon where he will be and what he will be doing.", "Ashley asks Victor why he changed his mind and why he wants to keep Brash and Sassy in the same building as Jack. Hilary looks through the dresses and finally decides on one. Sharon and Noah discuss Dylan and what effect this is having on him. Christine gives Dylan all the information he needs to infiltrate the drug organization. Jack and Neil are so discouraged over them not finding a place for the banquet that they consider calling it off until Ashley comes in and tells them about Victor's offer but which Jack refuses. Ashley tells Jack Victor's terms for giving them a place for the banquet. Mariah figures out that it was Hilary who caused her to tall flat on her face. Dylan comes home and tells Sharon that he will be leaving town on a mission for Paul and the GCPD. Sharon is against the idea but Dylan insists that he has to do this. Jack catches up to Victor at Newman Towers and accepts his offer of help.", "" ]

[ "Jack: I know it's short notice, but it's a worthwhile cause.", "Neil: This is helping so many people.", "Jack: This fundraiser is very important to the foundation. It's --", "Neil: Call me if anything changes.", "Jack: Yeah. No, I-I understand. Thank -- thank you. A who's who list of donors, top-notch entertainment, five-star dining. Hilary agrees to be the celebrity host, and we have everything we need for a great party.", "Neil: Except four walls and a ceiling, Jack. I just -- I knew it. I should have stayed on top of the venue thing.", "Jack: Don't beat yourself up. There's no way you could have known this guy was gonna be foreclosed on.", "Neil: And here we are. It's New Year's Eve, all dressed up, and no place to go. I hate to say it, Jack --", "Jack: No, don't say it. We're not gonna give up. We're not gonna quit. Some way, somehow we're gonna make this happen.", "Victor: This has got to be my lucky day. Ashley Abbott has a proposition for me.", "Ashley: Yes. It is your lucky day. You know why?", "Victor: Why?", "Ashley: I know that Newman enterprises has had to endure tons of negative publicity this year -- oil spills and your prison sentence.", "Victor: Uh-huh.", "Ashley: I'm sure you're trying to find a way to reposition Newman as the powerhouse that it is, but one with heart and soul and a conscience. And guess what? I can help you do that.", "Victor: You can?", "Ashley: Yes.", "Victor: So all I have to do is let you have this space for the Abbott-winters foundation benefit, right?", "Ashley: How'd you know?", "Victor: Because your brother Jack and Neil winters were hoodwinked by the most corrupt real-estate guy in town. They didn't do due diligence. And now they are desperate to find another place, right?", "Ashley: It's a great cause.", "Victor: Now, Jack must have been desperate to send you to ask me a favor.", "Ashley: Jack doesn't know I'm here, Victor.", "Hilary: More tomorrow on that downtown mover and shaker turned shyster. And until next time, keep on buzzing, GC.", "Devon: And we're out. That was fantastic, honey. Brilliant.", "Hilary: You know, I think I want to run it one more time. The language, it's a little bit tricky.", "Devon: I think you should save it for the broadcast, okay, 'cause you nailed it. You really did. It's like you never left.", "Hilary: Okay, okay. Cathy, you have that water that I ordered? Is it in yet?", "Devon: Was she not great, Mariah?", "Mariah: Yes, just like old times.", "Devon: See? With nothing but success ahead. I know we got off to a rocky start, but I really think that we have the makings of a great team -- you using your skills behind the camera, you in front of the camera where you belong. You're a natural. Killed it, honey.", "Mariah: That's right. She's a natural-born killer.", "Sharon: Are you okay?", "Dylan: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.", "Sharon: I heard the door slam, and I called your name. You -- you didn't respond.", "Dylan: [Sighs] Just a lot on my mind.", "Sharon: Christian?", "Dylan: Don't. Don't.", "Sharon: I know you're struggling. I understand.", "Dylan: It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what I feel. It's not gonna change anything.", "Sharon: It does matter. It's not gonna help to keep it bottled up inside, Dylan. Just please talk to me.", "Dylan: I don't know what you want me to say.", "Sharon: Whatever you're feeling. Whatever it is, you can tell me. You know, I can take it. Don't shake your head. Christian coming here on Christmas Eve, it just made me so happy, but you... I can see how sad it's made you. Talk to me.", "Dylan: I miss him so much.", "Sharon: I know. I miss him, too. Hey. Do you think that maybe Christmas Eve was just the beginning of something? You know, if nick felt comfortable bringing him here and sharing him with us, maybe he'll do that a lot more often in the future.", "Dylan: You know, that's never gonna happen.", "Sharon: What? Don't say that. I have hope.", "Dylan: Yeah, well, I saw nick and Christian at the coffeehouse.", "Sharon: You saw Christian today?", "Dylan: Yeah, I thanked nick for bringing him over Christmas Eve, and, uh, I even mentioned that if he needed help even last minute with Christian, uh, I'd hope that he would think to call me or us.", "Sharon: What did he say?", "Dylan: He made it real clear that that's not gonna happen.", "Sharon: Why?", "Dylan: It's a one-time deal. Part of the judge's ruling. You know, we can't have the kid confused, thinking that too many people love him, because somehow that's a terrible thing for a kid to think.", "Sharon: You know what? Don't lose hope.", "Dylan: I'm -- I'm just being realistic, okay? I'm not gonna set myself up. We know where we stand with Christian. It's a clean break. I just got to figure out how to deal with it.", "Sharon: Okay, well, you don't have to deal with it alone.", "Dylan: Can we not start this? I really need to get to the station.", "Sharon: Dylan, you know, you've been dealing with this so well, and -- and I think maybe too well.", "Dylan: What does that mean? I might snap? Wouldn't be the first time, right? The vet with the PTSD can't handle the pressure?", "Sharon: I didn't say that at all. That's not what I meant. I-I just want to help you, and I think we can help each other if we would just --", "Dylan: There's nothing wrong with me that work won't fix.", "Sharon: Okay, don't leave now.", "Dylan: I'm late already.", "Mariah: I'm working on this crazy clown segment that I think could be pretty big, so I'm gonna get back to it.", "Hilary: Mariah.", "Devon: Devon Hamilton.", "Hilary: What are you doing tomorrow night?", "Mariah: Oh, Hilary, I'm flattered, but I figure you would already have a date for New Year's Eve.", "Hilary: I'm working the Abbott-winters foundation benefit, and I could use some help.", "Mariah: Hmm. Do you need somebody to throw rose petals at your feet while you make your grand entrance, make sure your tiara isn't crooked? Thank you, but no thanks.", "Hilary: I don't need a gofer. I need a producer.", "Mariah: Why would you want me? Ask evan.", "Hilary: Well, you're competent.", "Mariah: Oh, way to butter me up.", "Hilary: This is a major media event, Mariah, okay? There's gonna be cameras, teleprompters.", "Mariah: Let me guess. A red carpet, because I'm an expert at that.", "Hilary: And it's live.", "Mariah: Again, an expert.", "Hilary: Okay, which means that you know that everything needs to be perfect. Okay, I can't do this by myself. I need someone. I need someone who can supervise, who can make sure that everything runs smoothly.", "Mariah: To make you look good.", "Hilary: I have a ton of copy to read. I'm seeing the entire auction. This is gonna be the event of the year, okay, with big names and big money and big expectations. Mariah, please, okay? I can't afford to make a mistake.", "Mariah: We wouldn't want that, would we?", "Hilary: Maybe you could convince Mariah to help me at the benefit.", "Devon: How's time and a half sound?", "Mariah: Done.", "Hilary: Really?", "Mariah: Yeah. I kind of maxed out my credit cards. Holiday spirit doesn't come cheap, turns out.", "Hilary: Okay, so you'll do it? You'll help me?", "Mariah: Why would I say no after all you've done for me?", "Jack: These people could have gone to any number of events tomorrow night. They chose our fundraiser. They chose the Abbott-winters foundation because they believe in the work we do.", "Neil: Oh, Jack, Jack, we're out of options, you know? I'm sure our donors will understand that it couldn't be helped.", "Jack: And what about the people that benefit from our program? What about the people whose lives, whose hopes depend on our programs? What do we tell them? \"Maybe next year\"? Some of these people we help won't have a \"next year.\"", "Neil: Hey. This is exactly why I asked you to come back to the foundation. It's your fighting spirit, man. It's your dedication to the work. I'm sorry that this went down, but I think it's impossible.", "Jack: No, no, what we do is the impossible! We don't give up! We have to try. We have to keep trying as -- we have to use every resource we have.", "Neil: Where you going, Jack?", "Jack: Do you know where Ashley is?", "Ravi: Uh, she left.", "Jack: Where?", "Ravi: She didn't tell me, but she said she'd be back soon.", "Jack: Okay.", "Ravi: She will be back, right?", "[Door closes]", "Ashley: I actually didn't want to involve Jack until you and I had spoken and hammered out the details and made a deal. Then I'm gonna call him and let him know the good news.", "Victor: [Chuckles] And why in the world would I help your brother of all people?", "Ashley: Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you completely destroyed his life at one time. Think of it as good karma.", "Victor: He's never done a damn thing for me.", "Ashley: Victor, honestly. Really? I think this is bigger than the never-ending feud you have going on with my brother. Don't do it for Jack, please. Don't do it for him. I mean, it's called a benefit for a reason. You know, because it benefits people that need what the foundation has to offer.", "Victor: I understand. But I already donate to a lot of charities.", "Ashley: And the Abbott-winters foundation doesn't just help strangers. It helps people that you know. People that you see every day. Like your wife. Was Nikki able to battle her addiction on her own?", "Victor: [Sighs deeply] Yeah, the foundation does a lot of good.", "Ashley: Yes. Help us, please.", "Victor: And Nikki and I, we're going to be there anyway and bid on the auction, so, um... yeah. You can have the space. Consider it Newman's contribution to a good cause, okay? Want to shake on that?", "Ashley: You're not gonna regret this. What's the catch?", "Victor: There are some details to consider, however.", "Ashley: What details?", "Victor: Well, I was gonna close the tower New Year's Eve so the staff can have some time off.", "Ashley: No worries. We've got our catering staff all in place. We have our chef, our service, everything. Our event planner is gonna do something magical with the space. All you have to do is show up in your tux and you get to lord it over everybody how you saved the day.", "Victor: You've thought of everything, haven't you?", "Ashley: What haven't I thought of?", "Victor: Given that I am saving jack's reputation and the foundation's reputation, I'm sure there's an arrangement that could be beneficial.", "Ashley: Beneficial for whom?", "Victor: Beneficial for all of us. All you have to do is rip up the brash & sassy eviction notice and let Victoria stay in her office space.", "Hilary: I want to include live video comments from our viewers so that they feel like they're fully participating. [Sighs]", "Devon: Well, everybody's looking for their 15 minutes.", "Hilary: And I think I want more live shows. Okay, don't -- don't look at me like that. I mean, live like broadcasting live from events that our fans are interested in, such as parties or openings like the benefit. Live and local served up fresh.", "Devon: We should look into that.", "Hilary: And I think I want a weekly special-interest segment.", "Devon: How about you just relax for a second, ms. Executive producer lady? You're off the clock.", "Hilary: But I have so many ideas.", "Devon: That's 'cause you're brilliant. And you're beautiful. And I don't know how I got so lucky to have you.", "Hilary: What is that?", "Devon: Oh, that? Just wanted to surprise you. I picked those out, with the help of Lauren, and I thought that you could choose one to wear at the benefit.", "Hilary: Huh. You surprised me, all right.", "Sharon: So good to see you.", "Noah: How are you?", "Sharon: Um, I'm fine. I mean, I guess I'm as fine as I can be since my daughter doesn't want to live with me. But, you know, it's all good, right? I mean, we're doing this to help faith. She comes first. So... have you recovered from Christmas?", "Noah: Mm-hmm. Yeah, there was peace on earth, goodwill to men, as long as I avoided grandpa trying to throw a tie around my neck and drag me back to the company.", "Sharon: Hmm. Grandpa Victor. He's the gift that keeps on giving. Well, I'm glad you survived. And it's really nice to see you.", "Noah: Listen, faith -- she had a great day. I just want to let you know so that you're not worried. Grandma and grandpa went all out, and they made it really special for her.", "Sharon: Well... no one goes all out like Victor and Nikki do.", "Noah: She misses you, mom.", "Sharon: [Sighs]", "Noah: What's this? What? Are you packing it in? Huh? You, the woman who likes to keep a few things up until at least valentine's day?", "Sharon: [Laughs] Yeah, it just doesn't feel the same this year. [Sniffles]", "Noah: Look, I know how hard this is on you, okay? I do. Um... but I also get why faith needs to be with grandma and grandpa right now. I mean, there's just -- there's nothing worse than being in the middle of a tug-of-war.", "Sharon: I'm sorry we put you through that.", "Noah: I turned out all right. I think. Faith will, too.", "Sharon: So nick and I don't suck that much as parents?", "Noah: No, come on. You're -- you're the best, all right? Both of you. And look, dad brought Christian over for Christmas Eve. That was, like, you know, hanging out with that guy, a little Christmas magic.", "Sharon: Yeah. Yeah, it was.", "Noah: Okay, hey, just... talk to me. What's up?", "Sharon: Seeing Christian again, it just...it made my whole holiday. But Dylan, not for him. It made everything worse.", "Dylan: I didn't realize the assignment would be starting so soon.", "Christine: Well, things have changed since Paul briefed you. My office is now working with the FBI. This is our last best chance to bring down this monster and his drug ring, but we have to act now.", "Dylan: I get it.", "Christine: Okay, but it's dangerous. Dylan, we are gonna do our best to keep you safe. But I just wanted to make sure you know what you're getting your...", "Dylan: I promised I'd be there when you woke up this morning, and who did you see first thing? You saw me. [Sighs] But I hate to say this. I may not be able to promise that again. Whatever changes, this will always be true -- that I love you more than anything and I am so proud of you. And, uh, being your dad has been, without a doubt, the greatest privilege of my life.", "Christine: So, Dylan, what do you think? Do you have any questions?", "Dylan: No. No questions.", "Christine: I'm really sorry about the timing.", "Dylan: The timing couldn't -- couldn't be better. I need this.", "Christine: And you're prepared for the risk? These people play for keeps.", "Dylan: I understand. Riskier, the better.", "Ashley: What the hell happened to doing something from the goodness of your heart?", "Victor: Look around you. This space is spectacular. Kitchen second to none, a billion-dollar view.", "Ashley: The price is too high, Victor.", "Victor: It's a mere detail.", "Ashley: Hardly.", "Victor: Now, do you want to save jack's reputation and want to save hundreds of thousands of dollars? I mean, come on.", "Ashley: I'm pretty sure jack's not gonna just forget about the eviction. In fact, I know he won't.", "Victor: If he is serious about wanting to benefit that foundation, it should not be an issue.", "Ashley: Yeah, all he has to do is just tear up that little eviction notice, right?", "Victor: Yeah, that's all he has to do.", "Ashley: [Sighs] Look, why do you care so much about this, anyway? Why do you want to keep them in that building? I would think you'd be thrilled that Jack wants to evict them. And you get to swoop in and save the day. Give Victoria some space at Newman.", "Victor: Well, I would love to do that, but there's only one small issue, you know. Victoria doesn't want to move. She doesn't want a space here. She loves it where she is. And I won't force it on her.", "Ashley: That sounds almost reasonable.", "Victor: Maybe I have evolved, you know. But one thing hasn't changed. I will do everything in my power to make my children happy. So I will do what I can to make sure that Victoria stays in the space she's in right now.", "Ashley: That space is my lab.", "Victor: Not if you want this venue for the charity ball.", "Devon: I guess I should've known better since you were upset that I got this place without talking to you first, and now I just did the same thing with these dresses. So I apologize.", "Hilary: No, they're gorgeous.", "Devon: I can take them back and -- what did you say?", "Hilary: I said that I love them.", "Devon: You serious?", "Hilary: Yeah.", "Devon: Really? You don't think I'm trying to control you, right?", "Hilary: No.", "Devon: Yeah?", "Hilary: You know, now the only problem is trying to figure out which one to wear.", "Devon: Well, hey, why decide on just one? You could, uh, wear one for your entrance, wear one for the auction, and wear one when we dance later.", "Hilary: Okay, one will be just fine. It just needs to be the right one. And I might need a little help trying to figure out which one I can slip out of...easily. You up to the challenge?", "Noah: It's hard to believe that hanging out with Christian wasn't a good thing, even if it was for a short time.", "Sharon: Nick got super protective. He reminded Dylan of the judge's ruling, and then he said there will be no more visits.", "Noah: Oh.", "Sharon: Dylan felt pushed out of Christian's life all over again.", "Noah: Look, I'm -- I'm so sorry for what Dylan's going through right now. You know, I really am. But dad -- he's just trying to do what's right for his little boy. You know, I mean... Christian needs to feel secure. So does dad.", "Sharon: I know. I know that.", "Noah: [Sighs] It's gonna take some time for everyone. Dylan -- he's a strong man. He's a good man. And he's gonna come around to accepting this in his own time.", "Sharon: It doesn't matter how strong you are or how much body armor you wear. There's always a weak point, and I just think that Christian is that for Dylan.", "Dylan: Derek young. A whole, new life.", "Christine: There's a document in there that contains all the details of Derek young's life. I want you to absorb them, commit them to memory, and then destroy the document. Those are burner phones. Only Kevin will have the numbers. He's your point person. Whenever you use one of those phones, afterwards destroy it immediately.", "Dylan: You guys thought of everything.", "Christine: The priority is to keep you safe.", "Dylan: The priority is to catch the bad guys.", "Christine: Your father would say no matter how careful we are, we're still missing something.", "Dylan: [Sighs] I know what it's like to go behind enemy lines. Whatever danger I face, it can't compare to that.", "Christine: What about your family? You can't tell Sharon that you're leaving or for how long. It could be a week. It could be two months. Who knows? And she has no way of contacting you or even knowing if you're alive. This is gonna be just as hard on your wife as it will be for you. So if there are any second thoughts --", "Dylan: There's no second thoughts. No doubts. Let's do this.", "Christine: Your plane ticket to Miami.", "Jack: Not a single solitary space in the city. I swear if it wasn't so cold, I'd hold this benefit in the park.", "Neil: Oh, right, well, we know that frostbite doesn't exactly encourage donor generosity.", "Jack: Neil, we got to do the responsible thing. We got to pull the plug. I'm gonna have my assistant send out a global e-mail to all the invitees and offer our apologies.", "Neil: This is terrible, Jack. I don't know. Okay, I'll work up a press release with Ashley, and then we'll do a simultaneous --", "Ashley: Yeah, the hell we will.", "Ravi: Ashley, you're back!", "Jack: You're a little late, sis.", "Ashley: I think I'm just in time.", "Jack: Look, we can make up for the donations and --", "Ashley: Jack, stop. I found a venue.", "Neil: What?", "Ashley: It's perfect. In fact, I think it's inspired.", "Neil: Whoo! Come here!", "Ashley: Oh!", "Neil: That's absolutely ama-- you're amazing! You're a miracle worker!", "Ashley: Well, I don't know how amazing I am, and don't thank me yet, because it's not gonna come cheap.", "Neil: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't care what it costs. We're gonna get this foundation back on track with this. Thank you so much!", "Jack: Where is it, ash?", "Ashley: Did I say it was inspired? Because it truly is. It's better than the one we lost. I'm not kidding you.", "Jack: Where is it, ash?", "Neil: Does it matter where it is?", "Ashley: It's beautiful. I think it's gonna be a bigger success for our auction, in fact.", "Jack: It's Newman towers, isn't it?", "Ashley: Victor made the offer himself.", "Jack: Well, you can go back to him with my answer. When hell freezes over.", "Jack: Would you get this to fisher, please?", "Ashley: You can't walk away from this.", "Jack: I want no part of Victor. What don't you understand there?", "Ashley: Do you have a better offer?", "Neil: The lady has a point, Jack.", "Jack: If Victor is graciously offering top of the towers, believe me, the asking price is something close to extortion. I would rather have this benefit in the parking lot.", "Ashley: Okay, so I see. It's your pride. It's more important than the benefit.", "Jack: You know better than anyone getting tangled up with Victor is a mistake. Always.", "Ashley: You haven't even heard the terms yet.", "Jack: Because I am not interested.", "Ashley: You said you went back to the foundation because you wanted to help people. Well, this is how you can help people. You can save the benefit. You have the power to do that!", "Neil: Hey. I'm gonna let you two talk.", "Ashley: No, no. You're part of this team. Come on. You stay.", "Jack: She's right, Neil. What do you think?", "Neil: What do I think, Jack? Hmm. I think we should let the lady talk.", "Jack: What's Victor asking?", "Ashley: It's not a dollar amount.", "Neil: That's beautiful. Works for me.", "Ashley: He wants you to tear up the brash & sassy eviction notice and let Victoria keep my lab.", "Jack: And you agreed to that? You said yes --", "Ashley: I said I would talk to you about it.", "Jack: They are almost out of this building, ash. I am counting the minutes.", "Ashley: So honestly, it's your vendetta against Billy which is gonna keep you from all the good the foundation can do? That's what this has come to?!", "Neil: Jack. Jack, I've been there, okay? This is nothing but anger. It's poisonous. It's blinding you. You think you're being righteous, but you're not. Learn from me, okay? Let it go, otherwise you're gonna drag the foundation down and yourself.", "Ashley: And you're better than this! Stop trying to keep sticking it to Billy just because he slept with your wife.", "Jack: Why don't you open the window and announce it to the world?", "Neil: Come on.", "Ashley: Jack, look, I'm sorry.", "Devon: Oh, wow.", "Hilary: So, what do you think?", "Devon: I think that's it. I think it's definitely the one.", "Hilary: Yeah, you sure?", "Devon: No, actually. Turn around one time. Yeah, I'm positive. Positive. [Laughs] You look beautiful.", "Hilary: Hmm.", "Theo: Watch yourself on the cable. We're still getting set up.", "Sharon: I'm so glad you're home. Look who stopped by.", "Noah: Hey, Dylan.", "Dylan: Hey, Noah. Did your dad send you down here, make sure we're not planning to sneak a peek at Christian in the park?", "Noah: What?", "Sharon: Um, Noah just stopped by to let me know that faith is okay and that she misses us.", "Noah: Hey, Dylan, I'm not taking sides here, you know? I just hope that everyone can find a way to put my sister and my little brother first. That's all that matters. Be well. Love you.", "Sharon: Love you. You know, Noah's not the enemy.", "Dylan: I know. I'm sorry. I was out of line.", "Sharon: Okay. You should tell him that.", "Dylan: I will. Before I leave.", "Sharon: For where?", "Dylan: It's my new assignment.", "Sharon: Well, when are you going?", "Dylan: I-I don't know. Soon. I just know there's a clock on it.", "Sharon: Wait, what -- what is this job, and where are you going?", "Dylan: I can't tell you.", "Sharon: You can't even tell me how long you'll be gone?", "Dylan: It's just really hard to know. You're gonna have to trust me on this.", "Sharon: Dylan, I do trust you, but this is dangerous, isn't it?", "Dylan: It's what I have to do, Sharon.", "Sharon: No. No, this isn't! No, you are needed here. I need you here! You're gonna have to tell them that you can't do this!", "Dylan: I can't!", "Sharon: It's because of Christian, isn't it? That's why you're doing this -- to stop yourself from thinking about Christian. It's to make your brain think about something else.", "Dylan: I'm doing this for us. For me. Because I have to.", "Sharon: I won't let you do this. I won't let you run away just to keep from hurting.", "Dylan: I'm not running away. I'm surviving the only way I know how.", "Sharon: Without me.", "Dylan: You're gonna be with me every second. I couldn't go if I didn't know I had your love, that you'd be waiting for me when I walk back through that door.", "Sharon: But, Dylan, what if...", "Dylan: Hey. You're looking at a guy who survived two tours in Afghanistan, remember? I'm gonna be back. I'll be back to leave my socks on the bathroom floor, all those containers of half-eaten Chinese food that drive you crazy.", "Sharon: [Voice breaking] Or you could just not go. Please, please, please, please.", "Dylan: I don't know how much time we have left. But I don't want to waste any more time.", "Ashley: [Sighs] There's still hope, right? Jack could change his mind.", "Neil: We better start drafting that press release. I mean, unless Jack went out to find a venue, we got to cancel it.", "Ashley: I'm so sorry. I know how much the foundation means to you and the benefit. I can't believe my brother's gonna blow this opportunity! I don't even know who he is anymore, Neil!", "Neil: Ashley, he's in there. Just have to look for him and find him.", "Ashley: [Sighs] You're such a good friend.", "Neil: Thank you. I'll talk to you later, okay?", "Ashley: Okay.", "Neil: Yep.", "Ashley: [Sighs]", "[Knock on door]", "Ashley: Oh, hey, Ravi. If this is about the app, I-I don't have time right now.", "Ravi: No, it's -- it's not that. I-I heard what you were talking about.", "Ashley: Oh. Yeah, you know what? I spoke out of turn. Please don't feed into that gossip.", "Ravi: I meant the benefit.", "Ashley: Oh, the benefit. If there is a benefit.", "Ravi: If anyone can make it happen, you can.", "Ashley: Thanks for the vote of confidence. Is there anything else?", "Ravi: If it does happen, I want to help.", "Ashley: Oh, uh, I don't really think it's your kind of thing. You might find it a little boring.", "Ravi: It sounds more fun than spending new year's gaming with some guy in Japan.", "Ashley: [Chuckles] Yeah, um, well, it's a black tie.", "Ravi: Okay. I think I have a black tie. I wore it for Halloween.", "Ashley: No, uh, that means tuxedo. Black tie means that you wear a tuxedo.", "Ravi: Oh. Uh...", "Ashley: Actually, you know what? If this benefit does happen, I am personally gonna buy you a tuxedo. You know why? I think I've got a job for you. Do you know anything at all about audio/visual, how to work that?", "Ravi: Are you kidding? A-v are my middle initials. Literally. Ravi -- r-a-v-I.", "Ashley: Yeah, I get it. I get it, Ravi. Um, you're hired. That is if I can keep my brother from blowing up all my hard work.", "Victor: Well, well. I wondered how long it would take Ashley to deliver my message.", "Jack: This won't take long.", "Victor: Hmm. Now you get on your high horse and you tell me that you will not even entertain the offer. Is that right?", "Jack: You might want to put on your coat and scarf. I think hell just froze over. I'm accepting the terms of your offer.", "Hilary: This really does feel like home, just you and me and the rest of the world on the other side of that door.", "Devon: You're not gonna miss room service?", "Hilary: [Chuckles] Who knows? Maybe I'll -- maybe I'll learn how to cook.", "Devon: Oh, yeah?", "Hilary: Probably not. [Laughs]", "Devon: I just wish it didn't take me so long to realize how bad we needed this, to have a place to call our own.", "Hilary: See, right there, that's my favorite part. The \"we.\" You listened to me when I said that I wanted to be by your side equally.", "Devon: Well, welcome home, Mrs. Hamilton.", "Hilary: Hmm. A home that is truly ours. Not yours to give or mine to get. Just like those dresses and GC buzz, it's something that we share equally.", "Devon: Well, I'm all for sharing, but I do think you look better in gold sequins than I do. [Chuckles]", "Hilary: A home. Work that I'm passionate about. A man that I love. Everything that I've ever wanted.", "Devon: That makes two of us.", "Hilary: Hmm.", "Mariah: Hey, watch it.", "Victor: Ashley is hard to refuse when she gives one a sales pitch.", "Jack: And you knew just how to draw her in to get what you want.", "Victor: She realizes that common sense is better than the need for revenge.", "Jack: You have it all figured out, don't you?", "Victor: You know damn well, and I know damn well, that the reason you're kicking out brash & sassy is because you want to get even with your idiot brother Billy. And your loathing of your brother is something you and I have in common.", "Jack: Hold on. What I may think of Billy is my business.", "Victor: So you can say about your brother what you want. But if anyone else does, big brother will come to the rescue of little brother. I always find that admirable.", "Jack: Almost. So do we have a deal?", "Victor: Oh. You know, tomorrow night may turn out to be more interesting than I thought. [Chuckles]", "[NEXT_ON]", "Victoria: Brash & sassy bought a table. If cane and I are going, then you're going, too.", "Hilary: Who is ready to start this auction?", "[Cheers and applause]", "Mariah: I won't be the one taking a fall tonight." ]

[ "Ashley begins the process of a legal battle to become CEO of Jabot and she calls an emergency board meeting to amend the Jabot bylaws to state that the CEO must work from the office not from home. Ashley tells Jack he must choose between Dina and Jabot so having no choice he tells Ashley he will work from the office. JT tells Reed that he and Mac are getting a divorce and he promptly goes with Mattie and Charlie to a party and gets drunk. Mattie and Charlie don't drink but Mattie makes good on her promise to call the police on Reed since he didn't listen to her and drove the car. Mattie fears that Reed will never speak to her again like he promised before he left. Victoria tells JT to go fight for his marriage before they get a call from the police telling them Reed has been arrested. Jack surprises Jill by agreeing to her extremely high offer to buy Chancellor Industries. Jill has second thoughts about the sale after talking to Lauren ,Cane and Billy and finding out about the no confidence vote. Lauren tells Jill things are tough for Jack with the company and taking care of Dina but she still thinks he is a good leader. Cane and Billy agree for once that Jack can't handle caring for his mother and Jabot. Cane asks Jill not to put Chancellor in the middle of a war between Ashley and Jack. Jill sends Billy to tell Jack that she has decided not to sell the company to him since she found out about the confidence vote.", "" ]

[ "[PREVIOUSLY_ON]", "Mattie: Your dad's in town?", "Reed: Yep.", "Mattie: And that's a bad thing? I thought you two had a good relationship.", "Reed: When we're on separate continents.", "J.T.: Mac and I separated.", "Victoria: No one should be alone during the holidays. Why don't you stay? You can spend christmas with reed and me.", "Hilary: Wall street financial named chancellor as the one to watch because of cane's leadership.", "Lily: I wasn't aware of that.", "Hilary: He didn't mention it? Probably because he thought you wouldn't care.", "Jill: I think now is the time to sell the company.", "Jack: This is the details of jabot's offer to purchase chancellor industries. It's really only one clause. \"Only a blood abbott can hold the title of C.E.O. Of jabot.\"", "Billy: This \"blood only\" amendment, this is nothing but a cheap shot. As far as me, you don't have to worry about it, okay, because i have your back 100%.", "Ashley: Thank you.", "Billy: What now? What are you gonna do?", "Ashley: [ Sighs ] I guess I have to mount a legal challenge, billy. I've already started meeting with the top attorneys in chicago.", "Billy: I got a guy. He's great. I'll send you over his contact.", "Ashley: I may need all the help I can get. It's gonna be a fight. Jack's not afraid to get down and dirty.", "Billy: Well, I know you. He has no idea what he's about to get into.", "Jack: I was hoping you had a chance to consider jabot's offer to purchase chancellor.", "Jill: I have.", "Jack: And?", "Jill: I'm sorry, jack. I can't accept the offer.", "Jack: I see. May I ask --", "Jill: It wasn't good enough.", "Jack: Jill, don't base your decision purely on the dollar amount. Think about logistics. Think about how these two companies fit together. I'll give you an example. Chancellor just acquired a small skincare manufacturer. At the same time, I was overhauling jabot's lab. It is state-of-the-art. Ashley is back in charge ready to make new products. If that isn't fate, I don't know what is. Look, if your head is still on the fence, then maybe you should listen to your heart. Katherine trusted you to do right by her. Katherine trusted me to run chancellor at one point. It seems to me she is up there smiling down, sending out signs, giving this her blessing.", "Jill: Or maybe she's down there giving the devil a run for his money.", "Jack: [ Chuckles ] What else can I bring to the table?", "Jill: My counteroffer and my conditions.", "Jack: Cane comes with the purchase.", "Jill: And stays. And that is non-negotiable. The company has shown remarkable growth since he started running it.", "Jack: Okay, that's not a deal breaker. In fact, as a measure of good faith, I will see to it that cane has a seat on the jabot board. But, jill, the price, it's awfully hefty.", "Jill: Well, that's the price. Take it or leave it.", "Devon: Hey, lily. Lily.", "Lily: Hey. What's up?", "Devon: You tell me. I was calling your name, and you were ignoring me.", "Lily: Oh, sorry, I'm just, um, I'm a little out of it.", "Devon: Is it cane?", "Lily: Yeah, uh, sam's coming home from the hospital today.", "Devon: Yeah, charlie and mattie mentioned that when they invited me to his \"welcome home\" party.", "Lily: I mean, I'm happy that sam pulled through and he's out of the hospital and that the twins are accepting their new brother. I hope it'll help bring them closer to cane again.", "Devon: How about you? You want to get closer to cane again?", "Lily: I mean, I'm not gonna lie and say that, you know, i don't miss him and that it was also nice to spend time with him on christmas eve.", "Devon: Yeah, you guys seemed like you were getting along pretty well.", "Lily: Yeah, we were that night, but the few times I saw him at the hospital, it was awkward. And I really want to accept the baby, but I just don't know how I'm gonna handle seeing cane with a baby that isn't mine.", "Devon: Well, you know, there's no time like the present to face your fear.", "Esther: Aww. He looks so healthy.", "Cane: I know, he's getting stronger every day. Here.", "Esther: Oh, gosh. There you go.", "Cane: Here you go. Okay. Are you ready for the tour?", "Esther: [ Chuckles ]", "Cane: Okay. So, uh, why is it so dark in here?", "Esther: Oh.", "Both: [ Hushed ] Surprise!", "Mattie: [ Chuckles ]", "J.T.: Hey.", "Victoria: Hey.", "J.T.: My flight leaves in a few hours. I wanted to stop by and see reed before I left.", "Victoria: Yeah, he's upstairs.", "J.T.: Okay.", "Victoria: J.T., Before you go, I just wanted to say thank you again for protecting my mom from prosecution.", "J.T.: I, uh, thought we weren't gonna mention that again, remember?", "Victoria: Right.", "J.T.: Oh, my god, are those the cookies we made at christmas? I can't believe there's any left.", "Victoria: That's because, um, those are the ones that you made.", "J.T.: Oh, yeah? Hmm.", "Victoria: Would you like some water to wash those down with, maybe? Yeah?", "J.T.: [ Clears throat ]", "Victoria: Here you go.", "J.T.: That'd be great. Yeah.", "Victoria: Yeah.", "J.T.: [ Chuckles ] I really enjoyed spending christmas with you and reed. You know, it reminded me of the good, ol' days.", "Victoria: Yeah. So, what's next for you?", "J.T.: Well, uh, probably start looking for a job.", "Victoria: Where are you hoping to find a position?", "J.T.: Anywhere I could get a job. But D.C. Would be great 'cause i can see the kids whenever i want.", "Victoria: So you and mac, have you discussed an arrangement?", "J.T.: No, not yet, but, uh, i learned my lesson. No matter what happens, mac and I are not gonna have a tough custody battle.", "Reed: You and mac broke up?", "Cane: Hey.", "Hilary: Hi!", "Cane: Hey.", "Hilary: How are you? Hey, mattie. Hi, charlie.", "Charlie: Hey.", "Mattie: Hi.", "Hilary: Now, I hope I'm not crashing the party. But when you told me that sam was coming home, I had to rush over and say hi!", "[ Gasps ]", "Charlie: Look at him.", "Hilary: There is the man of the hour. Ohhhh. Look at you with your cute, little hands and that itty, bitty nose! Oh, my goodness. Now, I did an internet search this time, so I think I found an age-appropriate gift.", "Cane: It's perfect.", "[ Toy rattles ]", "[ Doorbell rings ]", "Esther: I'm on it.", "Hilary: Do you like it? Do you like it, sam? [ Gasps ] I think he likes it. Look at you. Look at you.", "J.T.: Yeah, look, sometimes people travel the same path their whole lives together, and sometimes you hit a fork in a road, you know. You want to go one way, your partner wants to go another. It's nobody's fault. You just want different things.", "Reed: I guess that kind of sums up all marriage these days, huh?", "Victoria: I wouldn't say that. I mean, your grandma and grandpa have hit some bumps in the road, but they've managed to reconcile.", "Reed: Do you think that you and mac could do that?", "J.T.: Honestly, man, I-i don't know. I know one thing. It doesn't change my relationship with you. You know what? Next time you have a break from school, why don't we take a little trip together? What do you say?", "Reed: Do I get to pick where we go?", "J.T.: Yeah, wherever you want.", "Reed: Okay, I guess that'd be all right.", "J.T.: Yeah? Yeah? No? Not a high five? All right, fist bump. Come on, man.", "[ Chuckles ]", "Reed: Okay, um, can I have the keys to the car now? You said that I could go out with my friends tonight.", "Victoria: That's before we knew that your dad was leaving.", "J.T.: No, you can let him go.", "Reed: But he's leaving.", "Victoria: I know. You can see your friends tomorrow.", "Reed: [ Sighs ]", "J.T.: Look, he's spent enough time with me for one trip. Now we got plans to hang out in the future. Get out of here, man. What are you waiting for? Go have some fun, all right? But give me a hug first, okay?", "Reed: [ Chuckles ]", "J.T.: You're giving me a hug.", "Reed: Okay.", "J.T.: All right. All right, man.", "Lily: Your foot's sticking out. There you go.", "Cane: You know, the, uh, the night's been full of surprises. And at first there's this party, and then, um, then you come.", "Lily: Well, uh, mattie and charlie sent me the invite, and I didn't want to disappoint them.", "Cane: Yeah.", "Lily: But congratulations on bringing sam home. Now the real work begins.", "Cane: Yeah, the, uh, thought of bringing home a newborn was, uh, terrifying.", "Lily: Was?", "Cane: Yeah. But then I, uh, I managed to do it. That was quite the confidence builder.", "Lily: Well, you have plenty of help. I mean, you have esther and hilary, who's very attentive. She knows more about the baby than I do.", "Cane: Well, that's, uh, that's 'cause she asks. Listen, there is nothing wrong with me sharing updates with her, okay? She's been there for me and the baby. And the more people that sam has in his life, the better it is for him.", "[ Sighs ]", "Devon: Hey. It took a lot for her to be here today.", "Cane: I know.", "Devon: Yeah. Well, then you know that she's trying to be supportive.", "Cane: I understand that. I do, okay? But you have to realize that she is the one that asked for the divorce. And I understand that this is uncomfortable for her. But I have a baby here, and I -- it has to be my focus, devon.", "[ Cellphone chimes ]", "Charlie: Ah, man.", "Mattie: What?", "Charlie: Cross country team's having a party I forgot about.", "Mattie: We should go.", "Charlie: You want to hang out with my teammates?", "Mattie: Not really. But I do have a friend that could really use some fun.", "Lily: Hey, I am so proud of you guys.", "Mattie: Let go.", "Lily: [ Chuckling ] I am. You guys made sam's homecoming so special for your dad.", "Charlie: Mom, I've been doing some thinking.", "Mattie: Oh, no.", "Charlie: You donated blood to save sam's life. You'll always have that connection.", "Mattie: Where are you going with this, charlie?", "Charlie: All I'm saying is, you might not be raising sam, but you're just as big of a part of his life as me and mattie.", "Michael: So let me get this straight. Jabot is acquiring chancellor industries?", "Jack: Lock, stock, and cane. Jill's stipulation. When can you have these contracts drawn up?", "Michael: I'm thinking never, given your precarious position at jabot. The timing couldn't be worse.", "Jack: I disagree.", "Michael: Your initial offering for this company was a major factor in the board's no-confidence vote. How do you think they're gonna react if you go through with this purchase? Not to mention the pending legal battle ashley's mounting against the amendment?", "Jack: What are the legal implications if I go ahead with this purchase?", "Michael: I would have to do some research. The situation is unprecedented. Technically there is no C.E.O. Legally speaking, jabot's like the wild west.", "Jack: Then I suggest we cowboy up and finish this deal before ashley circles the wagons.", "Chelsea: [ Sighs ]", "Nick: Hey.", "Chelsea: Oh! Hi! [ Laughs ] Hello. Oh, to what do I owe this enthusiastic greeting?", "Nick: The insurance money for the underground came in today.", "Chelsea: Oh. Well, that makes sense.", "Nick: Takes some of the steam off of us having to spend new year's eve at my parents' house so they can renew their vows.", "Chelsea: What?", "Nick: Yeah.", "Chelsea: Oh, that must have been one hell of a check. I thought that that was the last place you wanted to go.", "Nick: Trust me, we are only going for my mom's sake. Once they say \"you are now pronounced husband and wife,\" we are out of there.", "Chelsea: Aww, so we don't even get to stay for the cake?", "Nick: I'm gonna buy you a dozen of your own cakes at our own private thing later.", "Chelsea: Oh, really? Or maybe better yet, you can buy a really big cake, and then you can jump out of it.", "Nick: Whatever you want.", "Chelsea: Great. Thank you. I hate to, um, bring this conversation back down to earth, but did the plumber ever show up?", "Nick: He did.", "Chelsea: And?", "Nick: Flush unit is busted.", "Chelsea: Hmm.", "Nick: Yeah. But I am seeing this as an opportunity. See, this is our chance to upgrade. I mean, we've always said that bathroom is too small for us anyway, so...I want to take a shot at it.", "Chelsea: You?", "Nick: Yeah! Let's go bigger. Way bigger. We can put in a hot tub. All we have to do is convert a portion of your closet --", "Chelsea: Oh, no, no, no, no. There is no way I am letting you cut into my closet space. In fact, I prefer if you expanded my closet. And you can nix the hot tub. Okay, great. Thanks. Good talking to you.", "Nick: I-I-I want a hot tub.", "Chelsea: Nice try!", "Jill: Boy, that's one strong, little kid. He had a grip on my finger like you wouldn't believe.", "Cane: You sold chancellor, didn't you?", "Jill: Tonight's about sam. Let's talk business tomorrow.", "Cane: No, I'd rather hear it from you now so I don't have to read about it tomorrow.", "Jill: I am so sorry.", "Cane: Jill.", "Jill: Jack and I, we came to an agreement, and chancellor will become part of jabot.", "Cane: Okay, well, I'll have to put out some feelers, and I'll contact the headhunter i worked with before.", "Jill: There's no need for that, because keeping you on is part of the deal. He even mentioned a possible seat on the board.", "Cane: Well, that's, uh, that's impressive.", "Jill: Cane, I know it's not ideal.", "Cane: Jack didn't want to work with me a few months ago, so I don't think he wants to be forced to work with me now.", "Jill: It won't take him long to see how valuable you are. And your track record speaks for itself. Honey, I sang your praises.", "Cane: But you didn't have enough faith in me not to sell the company, did you?", "Jill: It's the ideal solution, okay? I get to liquidate my major asset, and you get to keep your job.", "Cane: With less responsibility.", "Jill: So you have more time with sam. And everybody wins.", "[ Sighs ]", "Billy: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell is this?", "Ashley: What's going on?", "Billy: Mother just sent me a text message saying that she sold chancellor to jack.", "Ashley: Oh, my god. Can't you talk her out of it?", "Billy: I mean, it's worth a shot, but she gets her mind set to something, and...", "Ashley: This is what I've been telling you. Jack isn't aware that his decisions could gravely impact the future of jabot.", "Billy: Is he really this desperate to get a win that he doesn't understand how irrational he's acting?", "Ashley: He's not thinking anything through. He doesn't have a business plan. This could put jabot into debt. And he hasn't even consulted with the board.", "Billy: Where are you going?", "Ashley: To kill the deal.", "Lily: Why are you here?", "Hilary: Because I didn't want sam and cane to come home to an empty house.", "Lily: [ Chuckles ] Right.", "Hilary: Why is it so hard for you to believe that I have compassion for a baby and for cane's situation?", "Lily: Because you're a cold-hearted witch. And there's something about your new attitude that stinks.", "Hilary: If something stinks, it's you and your attitude. You know, not everyone is as judgmental and unforgiving as you are.", "Jill: Ugh. I suppose we have you to thank for her being here.", "Devon: No, hilary was already here when lily and I showed up. Apparently she and cane are friends now.", "Jill: When did that happen?", "Devon: After juliet passed away. She started visiting cane and sam at the hospital. Lily even said she was here yesterday.", "Jill: Here? In my house?", "Devon: Mm-hmm. Apparently she's become cane's talk-to for all things baby related.", "Jill: How ridiculous. She doesn't know anything about babies. He should be talking to lily.", "Esther: Isn't sam precious?", "Jill: Look, I know that this isn't the ideal situation, but it really means the world to me that you're here, and I'm -- I'm positive that cane feels the same.", "Lily: Thank you. Um, yeah, it took a lot for me to come here.", "Jill: That is understandable.", "Lily: I'm just -- I'm torn because I really want to bond with sam for the sake of the family, and I know that's what cane wants, too.", "Jill: And what do you want, darling?", "Lily: I don't know. Everything is very confusing.", "Jill: Hmm. Would you like to talk about something more pleasant?", "Lily: [ Laughs ] Yes, please.", "Jill: Tomorrow is new year'S. What are your plans?", "Lily: Oh, plans? Um, pajamas, popcorn, binge watching tv.", "Jill: Not on my watch, girl!", "Lily: [ Laughs ]", "Jill: I'm having a new year's eve bash tomorrow, and I want you here. You deserve to -- no, to relax, to have some fun. Lily, come on. There will be so many people here, you won't even notice if cane's here. Besides, he may choose to stay upstairs with sam all night.", "Lily: [ Sighs ] Um...", "Jill: Darling...", "Lily: I don't know. I'll think about it.", "Jill: You've had such a rough year. You deserve to get all dressed up and end it in style.", "Lily: You know what? You're right.", "Jill: Excellent. I will text you the details.", "Lily: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Bye.", "Devon: Hey. How you doing?", "Lily: Uh, you know, actually, I think I'm gonna take off.", "Devon: Okay.", "[ Indistinct conversations ]", "Charlie: All right.", "Mattie: They're drinking alcohol, charlie.", "Charlie: It doesn't mean you have to!", "Mattie: Are you?", "Charlie: No. But i am gonna get in some trouble.", "Reed: [ Chuckles ]", "Mattie: Reed, we -- we can go downstairs if you want.", "Reed: No, I think I want to hang out for a little while. I could use a distraction.", "Mattie: You were pretty vague in your text. What made it such an awful day?", "Reed: [ Sighs ] My dad managed to screw up another marriage.", "Mattie: I'm so sorry.", "Reed: Yeah, at least I don't have to spend any more time with him.", "Mattie: What does that mean?", "Reed: It means that he's taking off tonight, so... see ya, pops.", "J.T.: Do you ever worry that our divorce messed him up?", "Victoria: Constantly.", "J.T.: Yeah, that's not really the answer I was looking for, but...", "Victoria: In his lifetime, I've had three divorces, so I'm not exactly role- model material.", "J.T.: Well, I don't think either one of us are really capable of making a marriage work.", "Victoria: I'm the common denominator. It's not easy to be in a relationship with me. I'm hard on the men in my life. I set high standards.", "J.T.: You were always harder on yourself than anyone else. And there's nothing wrong with high standards. If a guy can't live up to them, that's -- [Chuckles] That's his fault. You deserve high standards.", "Victoria: Here's to my own personal cheerleader.", "J.T.: No, I am serious, victoria. Time has given me a little perspective as to what went wrong with us and...you know, I-I think I may have judged you more harshly than you judged me.", "Victoria: I gave you plenty of reasons.", "J.T.: Well, maybe. But the past is the past.", "Victoria: Is it really? I mean, don't mistakes have a way of coming back to bite you? You heard reed earlier when we were talking about marriage. I hate that my personal failures have affected him at all. Johnny and katherine are gonna feel the exact same way.", "J.T.: So will D.J. And becca.", "Victoria: You know, maybe you can work things out with mac. There were no indiscretions and no lies. And you can just maybe go back to the way things were and give your kids the family that you want them to have, you know.", "J.T.: Things may be a little worse than I led you to believe.", "Victoria: How so?", "J.T.: The first few years in D.C. Were great, you know. We were...starting a new life together, completely in sync. Then small arguments led to big ones, and we got out of rhythm. Only got worse when becca was born. So we thought moving abroad might spark some old feelings, fix things, but... it was the exact opposite.", "Victoria: Don't give up, J.T. Go to mac. Fight for your family and your marriage.", "Chelsea: What did I tell you about hogging all the toys?", "Nick: Come sit down. Sit down. Take a look at what I got here. Look, this is gonna be a huge patio, and there's gonna be a huge window overlooking the sun deck. And right here's gonna be the all-important master bath that will have a hot tub, all right? It's non-negotiable. And a sauna. It's gonna be amazing.", "Chelsea: I am sure connor and christian's toy soldiers will love it.", "Nick: It's not for them. It's for you. It's for us. I want to build our dream home. All right, I'll find a plot of land that's already zoned for development. I'm gonna oversee the whole thing myself.", "Chelsea: You're gonna oversee all the work?", "Nick: Yeah. I've been doing repairs at the underground and the tack house for years. I'm good.", "Chelsea: I make a mean mac and cheese. It doesn't make me a michelin rated chef.", "Nick: Okay, well, then I'll hire the best construction crew possible, but I am going to be very involved. This has always been a dream of mine. But maybe it's not your dream. Chelsea, what would your dream house look like? What would it have? Swimming pool? Wood fire pizza oven? Would it have a batting cage? [ Chuckles ] Look, whatever you want. Just say the word, and I'll make it happen.", "Devon: I knew I shouldn't have taken you to see cane and sam today.", "Lily: No, it's fine. I'm fine. He's a cute kid. He looks better than how he did at the hospital.", "Devon: Yeah. You know, you had a hand in that, donating your blood.", "Lily: No, mattie's the real superhero. She came through with that second donation, and that really helped him.", "Devon: Well, yeah, but, i mean, I'm sure cane doesn't differentiate. You guys are both angels to him.", "Lily: [ Scoffs ] Well, I think after our last interaction, my halo is tarnished. No, it's fine. I just need to get over myself.", "Devon: How you plan on doing that?", "Lily: I don't know. Self-help books, journaling.", "Devon: Hmm.", "Lily: Copious amounts of wine.", "Devon: [ Chuckles ]", "Lily: Oh, and not seeing hilary every time I run into cane. That would really help.", "Devon: For someone who's not really maternal, she was, uh, all over that baby. And, uh, she was pretty buddy-buddy with cane, too.", "Lily: Do you think that she might be making a play for cane?", "Devon: No. No, I don't think so.", "Lily: Well, think about it. For one, she knows that it would annoy the hell out of me. Two, he's doing well at chancellor, so he's successful. And three, he's available. That basically checks off all her boxes.", "Devon: Right, but I think that hilary's, you know, she's trying to be a better person these days.", "Lily: Really?", "Devon: Yeah.", "Lily: So you're really giving her the benefit of the doubt?", "Devon: Well, why shouldn't I?", "Lily: Because she always has an ulterior motive. And if she's not doing it to get under my skin, then she's definitely doing it to get under yours.", "Billy: What'd I miss?", "Jill: Not a damn thing, and I will make sure of that.", "Billy: Dare I ask? No, you know what? Um, I don't want to get off track here. Okay, you send me a text message saying that you sold chancellor to jack. Mom, are you sure about that?", "Jill: It's a done deal, darling. Don't try to talk me out of it because you'd be wasting your time.", "Billy: Even though the board issued a no-confidence vote against jack?", "Jill: Come again?", "Billy: He didn't mention to you that he's no longer the C.E.O. Of jabot?", "Jill: No, he certainly did not!", "Billy: Technically speaking, he shouldn't even accept the offer from you.", "Jill: You didn't think to mention this to me on christmas eve?", "Billy: Oh, and ruin all the holly jolly? Plus you didn't mention it, so i thought the deal was dead.", "Jill: Well, I did, too. That's why I went to see him -- to tell him that. And then he threw me for a loop by accepting my offer!", "Billy: Look, if you want to nurture chancellor and do the right thing by chancellor, jabot is not the right choice right now. I'm just telling you that.", "Cane: You know what? For once, I agree with billy. Look, I understand you decided to sell chancellor, but don't let it become part of jabot 'cause that company's in crisis mode.", "Jill: Which you could help solve!", "Cane: If you put me in the middle of a battle between jack and ashley, everyone is going to lose.", "Ashley: I know that you're one of jack's biggest supporters, but I also know that you can be objective about this whole jabot situation.", "Lauren: Okay. Lay it on me.", "Ashley: We don't have an acting C.E.O., Which means we don't have any clear chain of command.", "Lauren: Michael told me about the amendment, and I am not a fan.", "Ashley: Yeah, well, jack's using it as an excuse to ignore that no-confidence vote. He's still working from home, lauren, despite the fact that the majority of the board wants him to resign. He's looking after his own best interests and not the company.", "Lauren: So do you have a plan?", "Ashley: Yeah. I want to have another board meeting tonight, and I'm hoping you're gonna help me persuade them to adopt some kind of common-sense measures while we sort through this whole thing.", "Lauren: Well, why don't you tell me what those common-sense measures are, and then I'll decide what I'm gonna do.", "Reed: I'm bored. Uh, you want to get out of here?", "Mattie: Yeah, uh, sure. I'll go get charlie. Hey, um, reed and I are ready to go.", "Charlie: No one's stopping you.", "Mattie: You need to bring us home.", "Charlie: That's gonna be a hard pass.", "Mattie: Then give me the keys, charlie.", "Charlie: It's my week to have the car.", "Mattie: Look, I don't want reed behind the wheel.", "Charlie: Okay, I might need the car just in case we want a change of venue, so... you have your phone. Get a cab.", "Mattie: Reed?", "Jill: Oh! I'm so glad you're here.", "Lauren: Hi. What's going on?", "Jill: Billy.", "Lauren: Uh-oh.", "Jill: [ Sighs ] We had a very interesting talk. He warned me not to sell chancellor to jack because apparently the jabot board has voted jack out as C.E.O.", "Lauren: And you're conflicted by this?", "Jill: Well, of course I'm conflicted. I was bluffing when I wrote down that outrageous amount on that piece of paper, but he actually accepted it.", "Lauren: So are you questioning selling and that's why you inflated the price?", "Jill: I did. This is a really, really big decision. But with this amount of money, there was no way I could turn it down.", "Lauren: Always boils down to the mighty dollar for you, sis, doesn't it?", "Jill: No, actually, sis. In this case, it doesn'T. I'll tell you the truth. I've been traveling around the world, and it's been extremely disturbing seeing all the poverty and the suffering. So in this case, I thought that I would do something for other people with my good fortune.", "Lauren: Hmm. It's very admirable. But something is still not sitting right with you.", "Jill: It's 'cause of katherine. Chancellor is her legacy. And I want it to be that way for many, many years to come. But jack's behavior, my god! It's got me questioning whether he's capable.", "Lauren: If it makes you feel better, I voted for jack to stay as C.E.O.", "Jill: So you have faith in him. Honestly speaking, would you advise me to take him up on his offer?", "Lauren: Well, for the most part, he's kept his promises that he made when I sold him a stake in fenmore'S.", "Jill: \"For the most part.\"", "Lauren: Look, we've had our issues. But you know what? He runs a tight ship, and he only wants what's best for jabot.", "Jill: Okay. And how is he handling this thing with jabot and dina?", "Lauren: That's why he's working for home.", "Jill: Ohhh! Yeah! And that's why he insisted i meet him at home instead of the office. Next question.", "Lauren: Hmm.", "Jill: Talk to me about the civil war with ashley and jack.", "Lauren: Messy. Very messy. But I still believe in his leadership qualities. If you want to sell chancellor, you go for it.", "Mattie: Reed, wait up. I'll -- I'll call us a cab.", "Reed: What are you talking about? I'm fine to drive. Get in. I'll drop you off.", "Mattie: No, you've been drinking.", "Reed: Yeah, I had like two beers. It's fine. I'm not even buzzed. Get in. Let's go.", "Mattie: If you get in that car and take off, I'll call the police.", "Reed: You'd narc on me? I thought we were friends.", "Mattie: We are, but --", "Reed: You know what? Fine. Whatever. Go for it. I don't care. Just know that if you do, I will never forgive you.", "Mattie: Reed. Reed!", "Ashley: Hey.", "Jack: Hey.", "Ashley: Mother upstairs?", "Jack: She is.", "Ashley: Okay. I'm gonna go say hi.", "Jack: Gloria called. You had a board meeting behind my back.", "Ashley: We did. Last-minute kind of thing.", "Jack: Mm-hmm.", "Ashley: You weren't the only one that wasn't able to attend.", "Jack: But I'm sure you had enough for a quorum.", "Ashley: Yeah, actually, we did, and we passed an amendment. The C.E.O. Has to work from an office at jabot.", "Jack: And who supported you in that ridiculous motion?", "Ashley: Billy and abby, lauren.", "Jack: Lauren? I thought lauren was on my side.", "Ashley: She is on your side, jack. But she wants to see you focused on your work like we all do.", "Jack: Kyle?", "Ashley: He voted yes by e-mail. So I guess you have a decision to make. Either you remain mother's primary caregiver or you're the C.E.O. Pak woke up with back pain.", "Chelsea: I am so touched that you want to build a dream home for our family with a wood fire pizza oven and the hot tub and a swimming pool. Really, it's all -- it's awesome. It's wonderful. And I'm grateful that you try to make me happy. It makes me love you even more.", "Nick: But?", "Chelsea: I don't want to sound ungrateful. It's just... you know, connor took his first steps in this penthouse. Adam and I, we went through a lot together. All of our memories are here.", "Nick: Well, we can make our own memories in our own house.", "Chelsea: That's true, and that's exciting.", "Nick: But?", "Chelsea: Just think of all the memories we've created here. I mean, we have so many memories, you and me. I mean, you know, we made love right here. We've made love right down there.", "Nick: The piano.", "Chelsea: I could never forget the piano. No way. You know, you helped the kids build that fort with all the blankets down there. And I helped faith design her costume for the school play over there.", "Nick: Yeah.", "Chelsea: Every time I walk through that door, I feel the love and -- and the laughter and the whole family. This is my dream home here with you and the boys.", "Nick: Well, then, let's make some more memories.", "Chelsea: Really?", "Nick: Yeah.", "Chelsea: Thank you.", "Hilary: We meet again.", "Devon: Just wrapping up some things.", "Hilary: I was surprised to see you earlier.", "Devon: You know what? I was actually thinking the very same thing about you. Then again, you have been spending a lot of time lately with cane, right?", "Hilary: Sounds like you're asking me if cane and I are involved romantically.", "Devon: Well, are you?", "Hilary: What if we were? Is it any of your business who i date?", "Cane: That kid is no party animal 'cause he is out cold.", "Jill: [ Laughs ] You were up there so long. I thought you'd fallen asleep, too.", "Cane: No, I was watching him. I could just sit there and stare at him forever.", "Jill: Aww.

Maybe I overreacted. [ Sighs ] I shouldn't have called the police.", "Lily: No, you should have called the police.

Nate updates the crew in the waiting room consisting of Phyllis, Noah, Victoria, Billy, Reed and Jack that Nikki is making a comeback. All embrace while an anxious Reed is off to the side. They all wonder what made her wake up. Inside her room Nate tells Nikki she needs rest but Nikki stares at him hard, Nate concedes and agrees that she can have a few visitors. Nick and Victoria come into her room and Nikki asks about Victor, and tells them she was there. Jack is next to visit her. Nikki admits to him that she had been drinking and he tells her they will go to AA together. Outside in the waiting room Victoria and Billy hug and someone watches on. Nick goes to find Nate to thank him. He finds him in his car and Nate tells him he has never seen such a turnaround as Nikki had. Nick leaves and Victor who was in the backseat instructs Nate to keep looking straight ahead. Victor tells Nate that he fears someone will try to finish the job.

Devon tells her that Fen and the writer of the song are the two talents. Ana tells him that the songwriter wishes to remain a pen name. Devon leaves and Fen approaches Ana. He realizes she is the writer of the song. She admits to Fen and tells him she was once burned in the industry and wishes to remain behind the scenes now. Fen agrees to keep it quiet.

You're gonna keep fighting. You be strong. Your family needs you now. So do I, more than ever. And I promise you that you and i will be together very soon. All right?", "Phyllis: Hey. Brought some coffee. Got it from the cafeteria. Put enough of these in it, might be drinkable.", "Noah: Thanks, phyllis.", "Phyllis: Yeah.

And 2.2 seconds for you to start rolling those beautiful eyes.", "Lola: Okay, I get it -- you like your watch.", "Kyle: That's a severe understatement. I may never take it off.", "Lola: Well, it's nice to know that you're happy with your present, because it's exactly how I feel about the purse that you got me. It's perfect in every way.

And as for these, it's safe to say that you've made a remarkable turnaround. While you were sleeping, your body had the fight of its life to contend with. You had quite a few people around you, including me, worried whether you would win or not. I can tell them that you have. And I can also tell them that you need to rest and regain your strength. Okay, fine. You win. They can see you, but keep it brief. Just a few people at a time. Okay? So there you are with your depression", "Ana: I'm the one who listened to fen's demo when you had zero interest. I'm the one who got him in the studio.", "Devon: When you stole the studio time from behind my back?", "Ana: I knew the only shot fen and I had was playing you a finished, professional song. It was the only way to get your attention. And it worked -- for him. Me, you blew off.", "Devon: So you just want to be a producer overnight without paying your dues?", "Ana: I paid them -- as a performer.", "Devon: Okay, as a performer. All right. Ana, this isn't me trying to minimize your experience or your eye for talent, because you obviously have both, and you're very smart.", "Ana: Thank you for noticing.", "Devon: Sure. But this industry has changed a lot in the last few years, and it's continuing to change, and even seasoned vets have trouble keeping up. Do you know how difficult it is making money in the music business?", "Ana: I know a hit when I hear one. That still has to count for something.", "Devon: And it does, because fen is a great find for us.", "Ana: So you're admitting I did a good thing?", "Devon: Sure, I am, if you admit that there's a difference between just gauging raw talent and creating a viable product to compete in the marketplace. There's a whole lot more that goes into making hit records than just finding the talent.", "Ana: Sure. Of course. I know that. I want to learn. I want you to teach me how to be successful.", "Devon: Okay. Well, lesson one -- we have two big discoveries on our hands, thanks to you. We have fen and whoever wrote that song that you gave him.", "Ana: So...you like it? On its own?", "Devon: Very much so. It reminds me of why I'm excited to even be in this industry. And I want to meet the person or the team responsible. Because we are going to sign whoever it is to an exclusive writing deal as soon as possible. So, can you help me make that happen?", "Ana: No, I can'T.", "Nate: Okay, guys. I still think it is too early for visitors, but... I mean, ideally, nikki would spend the day resting, recharging as quietly as possible, but she disagrees, and I have to respect that. So, this isn't some momentary turnaround. She is back, and she is on the road to recovery.", "Jack: Yes.", "Nate: But -- but -- but it is a road, okay? And perhaps a long one. She suffered severe injuries, and they need time to heal. So, you can see her, but as quietly as possible, calm, and two to three at a time, max. Okay?", "Nick: Okay, all right. Hey, we can never thank you enough.", "Nate: Well, you already have. Just seeing this many happy people, it's as good as it gets. So I'm gonna write the latest in her file, gonna go home and get some rest, and just give me a call if you need anything, okay?", "Victoria: We will.", "Jack: Thanks, doctor.", "Nate: Thanks, guys.", "Victoria: Just try to relax. No, no, no. Conserve your strength.", "Nick: Yeah, don't try and do too much, okay? That big scare you gave us was plenty. Can you tell us what happened the night of the party?", "Nikki: Where is... where's your father?", "Nick: Uh, sorry, mom, um... he's not here. We haven't been able to reach him.", "Victoria: Not yet, anyway.", "Nikki: I had a dream.", "Victoria: Did you dream about dad?", "Nikki: He was here.", "Nick: In the room with you?", "Nikki: He saved me. He gave me... strength.", "Victoria: I believe you. The hard work you put into lowering your", "Lola: Thank you. Bye-bye.", "Kerry: Hi!", "Lola: Kerry, hi!", "Kerry: Craving one of those legendary sandwiches.", "Lola: Oh, if that's how they're being described nowadays -- here you go -- please don't be shy about spreading the word.", "Kerry: I'm sorry. Is that the new kelli diane?", "Lola: The what?", "Kerry: Kelli diane, the designer of that purse.", "Lola: Um... I don't know. I'm not sure. It was a gift from kyle.", "Kerry: Ooh, nice! Like father, like son, I guess. When it comes to christmas presents. Jack got me a five-star resort holiday on bora bora. And you got that. I actually have one of these from a few seasons ago, before the brand and the prices skyrocketed. You have no idea how limited-edition they are. They made 800 of these this year. Can you believe that?", "Lola: No. Not at all.", "Kerry: May I?", "Lola: Mm-hmm.", "Kerry: Oh. Exquisite. Look. Number 427.", "Lola: Yeah. Um, so, enjoy your trip and your lunch.", "Kerry: Thank you. You enjoy that luscious bag. I am officially envious.", "Lola: Okay. Bye-bye!", "Kerry: Bye.", "Lola: [ Sighs ]", "Ana: The songwriter lives back east. He's made a conscious decision to stay away from the business side of the music industry.", "Devon: And why is that?", "Ana: I'm not totally sure. Maybe he was burned at some point. I just know he's happy devoting himself to the craft of songwriting while avoiding the phonier side of things. That's why he uses a pen name.", "Devon: Okay. Yeah, well, I don't know about you, but I'd like to know a little more about him. You know? Hey, fen, come over here for a second. What's your honest opinion of the song that you just recorded? I'm talking about the writing.", "Fen: Um, well, I never thought about singing anyone else's work, you know, other than for fun. That -- that song was killer. I mean, whoever wrote it knows what a hit sounds like. I would really love to hear more where that came from.", "Evon: I completely agree with you. Are you sure that this guy isn't interested in a publishing deal? 'Cause I'm very surprised he doesn't already have one.", "Ana: He doesn'T.", "Devon: Yes, okay. Well, can we try and make that happen?", "Ana: Okay. But you have to understand, there will be restrictions.", "Devon: That's fine. I've worked with artists before. I'm not gonna get in the way of his creative process, but I think that if I pay him what he's worth, one meeting isn't too much to ask for, right?", "Ana: I'll see what I can do.", "Devon: Fair enough. I'll catch up with you guys later, all right?", "Fen: Yeah. Um... look, I -- I owe you an apology.", "Ana: Agreed.", "Fen: Devon's head honcho, okay? And when he came into the studio, I felt like I had to fall in line.", "Ana: Mm-hmm. Even though I was the one --", "Fen: Even though, yes, you're the one who got me in there and gave me that song... and made me sound so good. Yes. Look, I hated seeing devon dismiss you like that, okay? But I didn't think calling him out on his bad behavior was the best way to kick things off with your brother. I mean, you get that, right?", "Ana: I do. I probably would've done the same thing. You only get so many chances in this industry, sometimes just one.", "Fen: And you're gonna say that to the songwriter?", "Ana: I don't know what I'm gonna tell him.", "Fen: \"Him\"? Come on, all right? It's just us now. You can drop the pretense.", "Ana: What pretense? I don'T...know what you mean.", "Fen: That was your song. You wrote it.", "Victoria: Come in.", "Jack: Kind of feel like I'm jumping the line a little bit. Noah's out there, reed's out there.", "Nick: Mom asked for you.", "Victoria: Just be gentle with her, okay? Doctor's orders.", "Jack: Understood.", "Nick: We'll be close by, mom.", "Jack: Well, I don't know when the last time was I had news this good. Christmas came a little late, not that I'm complaining. Hey, you don't have to talk. We could just sit here.", "Nikki: Yeah, but... jack... I was... drinking.", "Jack: I know that. They did a toxicology screen when you were first admitted. I wish I'd know that. It was a jabot party. I could've helped you more.", "Nikki: No. It'S... it'S...on me.", "Jack: Hey. Physical healing is what counts right now. That's the top priority. Obviously, one aa meeting wasn't enough. So, once you're back on your feet, we'll go to another. And another after that... for as long as it takes. I am there for you 100%.", "Billy: It all sounds great. I'm really happy for nikki -- and for you, of course.", "Victoria: Thank you. Well, I'm not the one who pulled myself out of a coma and away from the edge of death.", "Billy: No, but you've still been suffering. And I've watched you try and keep it together, and you've done a great job, but it doesn't mean it doesn't take a toll on your nerves and your heart.", "Victoria: That's true, especially when you feel like things are gonna end badly. I feel like I've been caught up in a tornado, spinning around and around for the longest time.", "Billy: You mean since J.T.?", "Victoria: Yeah, since J.T. But now my mom, she's conscious again, she's talking. I was in there just a few hours ago, and... I mean, I just felt like she was slipping away. She seemed really lost, just like all my hope. Thank you for being there and for having my back. I mean, since the minute this whole nightmare started...", "Billy: Well, you haven't always been able to count on me. I wanted it to be different this time.", "Victoria: It was. It is.", "Billy: Good. Because it's not over yet.", "Victoria: No, I know you're right, even though I'd like to think so. But you have been there and been supportive, and you've been loving and present for all three of the kids. And that has meant the world to them, so thank you. \"The young and the restless\" will continue. Look. It's over.", "Victoria: Hey, guys. Your grandma's ready to see you now.", "Nick: Yeah, just, uh -- just try and keep her calm.", "Reed: Okay.", "Noah: Yeah, you know, when she squeezed my hand last night, it was like she was trying to tell us she's gonna be okay. You know?", "Victoria: Reed, you're coming, right?", "Reed: What was grandma saying?", "Nick: Well, she's not able to say much, but she's getting stronger by the minute.", "Victoria: If there's something that she's trying to say and it seems important, then just let her try. Billy, would you care to join us?", "Billy: Yeah, that'd be nice.", "Victoria: Okay.", "Billy: Come on.", "Nick: Hey. Glad you're here. I just wanted to say... thank you for everything you've done. I mean, you've been with me here this whole time, trying to get me through this unthinkable situation.", "Phyllis: You know, things worked out the way they were supposed to. And I had nothing to do with that. Sharon deserves as much credit as I do. You know, she seemed to have a better handle on how to make you feel better.", "Nick: Yeah. Remind me to thank her. She was great. So are you. And so is nate. Vic and I were saying, we wish we had more of a chance to tell him how thankful we are. Grateful for him.", "Phyllis: Well, I just saw him in the cafeteria not five minutes ago. Why don't you go see if you can find him? I bet you can catch him.", "Nick: That's a good call. I'll be back.", "Phyllis: Okay.", "Fen: Ana, please wait.", "Ana: I can't discuss your flattering but farfetched theory right now. You heard devon. He wants me to talk the actual songwriter into signing a deal with this music division.", "Fen: Well, that shouldn't take long since it's you. Look, just... please, just talk to me for like 10 minutes.", "Ana: One minute.", "Fen: Thank you. Look, in the studio, I thought that was your song. Okay, that's how deep your connection to it was. And how without any producing experience, you were able to pull that performance out of me.", "Ana: I wrote it.", "Fen: Thank you.", "Ana: But you can't tell devon.", "Fen: Why not? Look, if you would've just told devon in the studio, he would've never kicked you out.", "Ana: I have my reasons.", "Fen: Well, I would love to hear them. All right, if you want me to keep this big secret from devon.", "Ana: What is this, extortion?", "Fen: What? No. No way. I just... I want to understand you and this major gift you have. Why would you want to hide it?", "Ana: Here's the short answer. I was robbed.", "[ Knock on door ]", "Nate: Yeah, yeah. Is nikki okay?", "Nick: Oh, yeah. Uh, I didn't mean to scare you. I just realized that my sister and I didn't get a chance to thank you properly. Nate, you are the reason my mother is alive.", "Nate: I'm glad I could play a part. Okay? But the real credit should go to your mother. She's the one that pulled through against impossible odds.", "Nick: Well, you were given an incredible task, you know? But you hung in there with dedication, and it means a lot.", "Nate: It's kind of the job.", "Nick: Well, you're gonna find very quickly that I'm a man who knows how to show his appreciation.", "Nate: You already have.", "Nick: Well, I don't give my dad credit very often, but... when he hired you to be their personal doctor, it was one of the best decisions he ever made.", "Nate: Thank you for that. It -- it means a lot. And, listen, I've never seen a person do a 180 like that before.", "Nick: You need anything, nate -- and I mean anything -- you call me.", "Nate: You got it.", "Victor: Look straight ahead. Stay calm. My son was right about one thing. My family owes you a big debt of gratitude.", "Nate: Listen, you need to be in the icu. Nikki needs you.", "Victor: I can't do that. I cannot go back to that hospital. They'll arrest me, okay? The authorities are watching the damn place. That's why I'm doing this.", "Nate: Doing what, exactly?", "Victor: Listen to me very carefully. Whoever committed the hit-and-run on my wife... I don't think he's finished with the job. He's around here. He would like to finish it.", "Nate: Well, then you should be talking to the police.", "Victor: I can't do that. That's why I'm asking you for help. Jardiance asked-", "Kyle: I got here as quickly as possible. 17 minutes and 12 seconds, to be precise.", "Lola: I didn't ask you here to discuss that damn watch.", "Kyle: Harsh. Did I do something wrong? Well, did I?", "Lola: You did 5,000 things wrong, plus tax.", "Kyle: Sorry. What?", "Lola: That's how much this damn purse cost. I looked it up. Now you can help me return it.", "Kyle: Well, I thought you loved it.", "Lola: And I thought you were listening when I told you at the start that I wasn't in this for your money, kyle!", "Kyle: Of course not. I know that.", "Lola: Well, then, why the hell did you spend 5 grand on this purse?", "Kyle: Because I wanted you to have the best.", "Lola: Oh, yeah.", "Kyle: Something that would last a lifetime. You get what you pay for.", "Lola: Okay. In this case, a teeny-tiny label that says, \"congratulations! Only 799 other people are as rich and stupid as you are!", "Kyle: Whoa, whoa! It's stupid to want nice things? I like to have things I can depend on.", "Lola: Oh, so you just better return your watch to the nearest charity thrift store, because it cost way less than 5 grand! Okay, I don't even make that in a month. So you must think everything that I own is crap, huh?", "Victoria: Where's nick?", "Phyllis: He went to find nate so he could thank him properly. Since we're alone, can we talk?", "Victoria: Sure.", "Phyllis: I want you to know how relieved I am for nikki. For nick, your whole family. I imagine you still have questions, because I do.", "Victoria: About the accident?", "Phyllis: If it was one. Did nikki say anything to you?", "Victoria: No, not yet. She's still trying to get her bearings.", "Phyllis: Obviously. I know that you're very protective of your mother. No one would ever blame you for that. But I think we need to figure out what really is going on. And better those questions come from us instead of the cops.", "Nikki: Thank you for coming such a long way to see me.", "Noah: Hey, knowing that you're gonna be okay, I'm gonna be sleeping the whole flight back.", "Nikki: Mm.", "Noah: Hey, grandma, last night, when you -- when you squeezed my hand... it seemed like you were trying to tell us something. Do you remember that?", "Nikki: Mm. I don't know. Maybe, but... oh, things are still very fuzzy. It's like... I don't know -- all different pieces of a very long dream, you know?", "Noah: Mm.", "Nikki: Hey. You're awfully quiet.", "Reed: Yeah, but I'm happy. You know, we all just wanted you to wake up and be okay.", "Noah: Yeah, nobody more than this guy. Looked like he was at the end of his rope.", "Nikki: It's been a very... tough year. I'm sorry everyone had to worry about me.", "Noah: Okay. If you think that was your fault, we need to get dr. Hastings back in here, all right? Right, reed?", "Reed: 'Cause it so wasn'T.", "Nikki: Oh. I don't know. What kind of grandma... ruins christmas?", "Noah: [ Chuckles ] Okay. All right.", "Nate: What you're asking, it's insane.", "Victor: Listen to me. I understand this isn't orthodox. I wouldn't ask you this if it wasn't necessary, but this is an emergency.", "Nate: Listen, never mind the rest of your plan, okay? Strictly speaking, nikki's condition, a few hours ago, her prognosis was beyond grim. \"Trending downward\" doesn't even begin to describe it, okay? She's barely pulled out of this, and now you want to just --", "Victor: Stop. It's not what I want. It's what needs to be done. Do I need to explain this to you again?", "Nate: No, I understand the situation. That is not it.", "Victor: You know, you will be well-compensated for this, doc.", "Nate: I'm on your payroll, remember? I'm already well-compensated.", "Victor: Let's cut to the chase. Are you willing to help me for nikki's sake, or am i wasting my time here right now?", "Ana: So, the passion and energy I devoted into interpreting other people's songs, I put that into becoming a creator, facing down a scary, blank page and trusting myself to fill it. I found a mentor who was giving and accomplished and saw even more potential in me than I saw in myself. He showed me how to tap into it. Soon, I was writing every day, coming up with song after song, refining and polishing the ones that he liked and recording the best of the best. I ended up with a five-track ep. Me, performing my own songs. I was so proud of it. And then, this industry pro asked if he could shop it around, try to find me a record deal. I was so blown away, I barely scanned the release form he said he needed to submit the ep to producers and labels.", "Fen: Uh-oh.", "Ana: I never saw or heard from him again. Or got paid when he sold my work, which was legally his work. I signed it over without noticing.", "Fen: Damn. [ Scoffs ] Well, no wonder you'd want to take the stealth route this time.", "Ana: It's the only route from now on. I'm fine with being behind the scenes, maintaining control over my work. I don't need to be famous. I'll leave that to you.", "Fen: Okay, fine, but I'm gonna need your help to get there.

What nikki pulled off today is nothing short of a miracle. Now that I don't have to worry about her or her family, I can focus on pampering you. And what better place to do that than bora bora? You know what the place is famous for?", "Kerry: Mnh-mnh.", "Jack: Over-water bungalows and the best tahitian vanilla-bean ice cream in the world.", "Kerry: Then I just want to say I am extra sorry for judging your close relationship with your ex.", "Jack: I'm glad. It was nikki who insisted we jet off right away.", "Kerry: Well, after the week she's had, let's not disappoint her.", "Jack: No, we certainly can'T.", "Kyle: Can we please back this up so I have another shot at this? I don't think cost is the only way to judge something's worth. I love this watch, and you love that purse.", "Lola: Loved. Past tense. Do you know how crummy it feels to give you something so out of proportion to what you gave me?", "Kyle: Why should it? I make more than you do. Lola, you were so happy on christmas. That label didn't bother you then.", "Lola: Only because I am so clueless to overpriced accessories.", "Kyle: I wanted to get you something you'd like. Is there anything I can say to fix this?", "Lola: If you can't understand why you spending that kind of money on me makes me uncomfortable, then I was wrong. You don't get me. And if you think that I'm overreacting, you don't respect me, either. And I can't be with someone who doesn'T. Hold this.", "Kyle: What? What are you doing? What are you -- lola, are you saying we're over?", "Nick: Hey, noah just texted me. He said he dropped reed off. I'm gonna go in and see mom again.", "Victoria: You look so exhausted. Why don't you take a nap? I'll stay.", "Nick: Thanks. I just -- I didn't get to see mom much earlier, so...", "Victoria: Okay. Well, I'll join you.", "Nick: Okay. Phyllis, you want to come?", "Phyllis: Sure, yeah.", "Nick: Okay, mom, we're here to tuck you in.", "Phyllis: Where did she go?" ]

I can't leave them high and dry. Plus, if I screw this up, I'm out of a gig.", "Victoria: Are you sure you're okay going --", "Billy: I will be there in the morning before anybody even opens their presents, okay?", "Victoria: I don't want to spend christmas without you.", "Jack: Wait, you're done? What do you mean, done?", "Traci: With the first draft.", "Jack: I'd love to read it!", "Ashley: I found my favorite chocolates on my pillow. I wonder how they got there.", "Traci: Oh, well, the elves have been busy.", "Ashley: [ Chuckles ] One elf in particular, I think. Thank you, traci. Very thoughtful.", "Traci: You're welcome. I've just been so excited about your visit.", "Ashley: Me too. Isn't it great the kids are throwing the holiday parties now? All we have to do is show up.", "Traci: Except you, who had to travel halfway across the planet.", "Ashley: Totally worth it.", "Traci: Ah, there was a time when I wasn't sure it was gonna go that way, when you were going to maybe move to paris and never look back.", "Ashley: I love my family. In spite of all the hurt feelings, I don't want to lose my family. Jack felt the same way and he reached out and we knew we had to make it work.", "Billy: Though I strongly suggest that we counter, and i think we should do it tonight. In fact, I just e-mailed you my suggestions. Okay, well, look that over and let me know if you'll sign off on them. Oh, believe me, I am very much aware that it's christmas eve. I should be on a plane to colorado with my family right now, but this needs to be done. So let's get it done so we can all celebrate the holidays with our family. What do you say? Okay. I'll be awaiting your call. Thanks. Come on, man.", "[ Sighs ] [ Chuckles ] Jack.", "Jack: Whoa, I-I-I --", "Billy: Come on, man.", "Jack: I didn't mean to startle you. The door was open. I let myself in.", "Billy: [ Sighs heavily ] Okay. What's, uh -- what's going on? Why are you here?", "Jack: Come on. We're going to dinner.", "Lola: The abbotts are so big on tradition. Are you sure they're really okay with moving their christmas eve dinner to a restaurant?", "Abby: Hmm, let me think about it. Celebrating at the hottest spot in town? Sounds like a hardship, but i think we'll muddle through.", "Lola: I'll defer to your judgment.", "Abby: Thank you. Now, I ordered a flower arrangement. Don't tell me it didn't get here.", "Lola: Oh, the busboy's on it.", "Abby: The busboy?", "Lola: Yeah. You know, the really cute one.", "Kyle: Hey, hey, hey. I resemble that remark.", "Lola: Mm, you totally do.", "Abby: Alright, alright. Let me take this so lola can thank you appropriately.", "Kyle: Fantastic idea.", "[ Chuckles ]", "Michael: It'll be nice to -- to spend some quality time with the abbotts outside of work, to reconnect with them as friends, ask how ashley's doing in france, how dina's doing.", "Lauren: Mm-hmm.", "Michael: Then after dinner, we can go home, light at fire, open presents. Doesn't that sound cozy? But no hints. My gift is gonna be a total surprise this year. Alright, lauren. [ Clears throat ] Hey. Here.", "Lauren: Oh. I'm sorry.", "Michael: Is everything alright?", "Lauren: I'm sorry.", "Michael: 'Cause you seem a little down.", "Lauren: [ Sighs ] Babe, I'm sure whatever you got me is just extraordinary.", "Michael: Mm-hmm.", "Lauren: But what I really want for christmas is fen to be home.

Hello, son! Merry christmas!", "Lauren: [ Laughs ]", "Michael: Were your ears burning? Your mom and I were talking about you.", "Lauren: We miss you so much, fen.", "Fen: I miss you, too, mom.", "Lauren: [ Laughs ] It's so good to hear your voice.", "Michael: Now, hey, did you get the money we sent?", "Fen: I did. Yes, I did. Thank you. I actually put it to extremely good use.", "Michael: Glad to hear it.", "Fen: Yeah, I-I sent you guys a gift, too, but apparently there was a problem with the delivery, so I just kind of decided to take care of it myself.", "Michael: Uh --", "Lauren: [ Laughs ]", "Michael: Give me some of that.", "[ Laughs ]", "Fen: Good to see you.", "Michael: [ Sighs ]", "Lauren: Oh.", "Fen: I know.

I'm not going to leave you here alone. We all know you have to work. Bring your laptop with you. At least get some food in you.", "Billy: Okay, fine. But I'm not staying long because I am on the first flight out to colorado.", "Jack: I am fine with that. Come on. Let's go.", "Billy: You go. I will meet you there.", "Jack: You better be right behind me.", "Billy: I will be right behind you. I promise you. I'll see you in a second.", "[ Sighs heavily ]", "Ashley: So, is the plan still the same -- jack's gonna bring dina back here to celebrate first thing in the morning?", "Traci: Yes, that is the plan.", "Ashley: Oh, good.", "Traci: Although it is a little strange not having her with us tonight.", "Ashley: Yeah, but a restaurant full of strangers would have been way too much for her to handle.", "Traci: Of course. Even at thanksgiving here at home, it was so overwhelming for her, all the people coming and going. I think a simple family breakfast is just the thing.", "Ashley: Jack told me that he brought theo here, introduced him to dina, and then theo told her about his father that was raised by a very loving family after she gave him up for adoption. That must have meant so much to her.", "Traci: Actually, I wasn't here for it, but from what i understand, it did give dina a measure of peace.", "Ashley: Oh, wonderful.", "Traci: Yeah.", "Ashley: So, how are things going at jabot for theo? Is he getting along okay with kyle, I hope?", "Traci: Well, uh... they're making an effort.", "Ashley: Oh, my god. [ Both laugh ] That means things are still tense.", "Abby: Do either of you know if theo will be joining us? Maybe we should add another place setting.", "Kyle: I haven't heard anything. But then again, I'd be the last to know, just like when my dad hired him at jabot.", "Lola: Which is working out fine.", "Kyle: So far.", "Lola: Theo has other plans for the evening.", "Abby: Okay.", "Kyle: How do you know that?", "Lola: Why would you care, as long as the information is accurate?", "Kyle: You've been prepping for this dinner all day. When would you have had time to talk to him?", "Lola: Theo and I have been texting back and forth about the holiday plans. So what?", "Kyle: I'm just now finding out about this.", "Lola: You know, I didn't realize I had to show you all of my incoming texts. Do you want to read them all now?", "Kyle: Of course not. I never meant to imply I didn't trust you.", "Lola: Good. But you know, kyle, it wouldn't hurt you to have a smidge of sympathy. The guy is alone on christmas. His parents are gone. He and summer broke up, and he doesn't even feel comfortable with a family, partly because it's all new and weird and partly because of your attitude.", "Kyle: You're right. We are so lucky, and not everyone is. I never want to take this for granted.", "Lola: I forgive you.", "Michael: Here. How'd you manage to get here?", "Fen: Yes. Uh, okay. Well, I'm sure you're both wondering why I'm out wandering the streets again. So, uh...good news. They released me from rehab a week ago. I moved into a halfway house just in time for christmas.", "Lauren: Ooh.", "Michael: [ Sighs ] That's wonderful, son.", "Lauren: Congratulations.", "Fen: Thank you. Thanks. Hey, thanks. Um, yeah. And the holiday check you sent way more than covered my train ticket home, so here I am.", "Lauren: [ Chuckles ] I'm so relieved, I could cry.", "Michael: Oh, baby.", "Fen: Please don't do that.", "Lauren: It just feels like you've been gone for so long.", "Fen: I know.", "Michael: Yeah. You went in for 60 days.", "Fen: Yeah. Yeah. And that got kind of stretched.", "Michael: Ah. Just a bit.", "Lauren: I kind of felt that, um, maybe your relapse was more serious than we'd been led to believe.", "Fen: I'm not gonna lie. It was -- it was bad. You know, I needed to be in rehab for sure. I just kind of wanted to take it slow, you know, make sure I was ready to face the world without drugs because, well, I vowed to myself that when I left, you know, it was gonna be for the last time.", "Lauren: And how are you adjusting to the halfway house?", "Fen: Uh, it's a new place, new people, new rules. I'll figure it out. Um... [ Chuckles ] Look, part of the reason why I wanted to see you personally was because I wanted to apologize and ask you guys for forgiveness.", "Lauren: Oh. Fen --", "Fen: No. Seriously. When I started using again, I felt so weak, like, um -- I don't know -- like a disappointment. And I knew that I had let you guys down, and it just -- it felt terrible. And I just never want that to happen again.", "Michael: Alright, alright, listen. I'm proud of you. You did everything we asked. You got help. You took it seriously. You're working hard. You're stronger for it. There's nothing disappointing about that.", "Lauren: And I agree with that. You're our son, and we love you. And nothing is ever gonna change that. But now that you're home, i think it's time to celebrate. What do you think?", "Michael: Oh, yes.", "Lauren: Right?", "Michael: We are about to go have christmas eve dinner with some friends. How would you like to come along and surprise a couple other people?", "Fen: [ Inhales sharply ] Screw it. You know what? I'm up to it.", "Michael: Yes! Yes, you are. [ Laughs ] Come on.", "Lauren: Let's go.", "Michael: [ Chuckles ]", "Lauren: Come on, my men.", "Michael: Mwah!

You're the first to arrive!", "Traci: Oh, hi! [ Smooching ] I'm so excited to be here.", "Lola: We are so excited to have you.", "Abby: Ma cher, maman. That dress is stunning.", "Ashley: I loves yours, too.", "Abby: Ooh, gee, I wonder who bought it for me in paris and left it hanging in my room.", "Ashley: I'm glad you like it.", "Kyle: Père noel?", "Traci: Ah, indeed. No doubt.", "Ashley: You went all out. That's so amazing.", "Abby: Well, lola's menu is so incredible that I had to create a setting that would do it justice.", "Traci: Well, you succeeded.", "Abby: [ Laughs ]", "Kyle: Who's ready for drinks?", "Ashley: I'd love a white wine.", "Kyle: Coming up. Traci?", "Traci: I was here the last time and had the most amazing spanish sherry.", "Lola: The amontillado.", "Traci: That's it.", "Abby: Oh, make it two.", "Kyle: I'm on it.", "Ashley: We have so much catching up to do.", "Abby: Oh!", "Ashley: Honey, how's everything going at the grand phoenix?", "Abby: Well, it's on the upswing now that I've unloaded phyllis as director of security.", "Ashley: Oh, you told me on the phone you were trying to hatch a plan to get rid of her.", "Abby: Yeah, that didn't really pan out, but everything is fine because chance came back to town and he helped me get the evidence I needed to get rid of her for good.", "Ashley: That was nice of him to go to all that trouble.", "Abby: Yeah. I mean, I think he enjoyed it. Phyllis rubs him the wrong way, too.", "Ashley: I'm sure that's why he did it.", "Jack: Ho, ho, ho! Merry christmas!", "Abby: Uncle jack!", "Jack: Wow! Great dress, abby.", "Abby: Oh, thank you.", "Jack: Hi.", "Ashley: Hello there.", "Jack: Hi yourself.", "Abby: [ Chuckles ]", "Kyle: Hey, hey.", "Traci: Now we can get this party started. Hi.", "Jack: You read my mind.", "Traci: Mwah!", "Lola: No, we're still waiting for michael and lauren.", "Jack: There is one more coming.", "Ashley: Theo.", "Jack: No. Billy.", "Kyle: Wait. Weren't he and victoria supposed to go skiing?", "Jack: He is tied up with this consulting gig he's involved in, and he couldn't get out to join victoria and the kids till tomorrow morning.", "Abby: Oh, that's a bummer.", "Jack: And I didn't speak to theo. I invited him. He said he had other plans.", "Abby: Okay.", "Kyle: I'd be happy to give him a call, extend a personal invitation, if you think that would make it difference.", "Jack: I appreciate that, son. I believe we don't want to put any more pressure on him.", "Kyle: Mm-hmm.", "Abby: What can I get you to drink? The usual scotch?", "Jack: You stay put. I will help myself now.", "Abby: [ Chuckles ]", "Kyle: [ Sighs ]", "Lola: Wow. Nicely done, my love", "Kyle: It is christmas. And if I haven't told you yet, you and abby did a phenomenal job decorating.", "Lola: Thank you.", "Kyle: But there seems to be one thing missing.", "Lola: Really? What?", "Kyle: Mistletoe. I've been looking all over for it, but, um...", "Lola: You know, I think you're right. Yeah, I might have left it in the kitchen. You should come help me find it.", "Kyle: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yep.", "Lola: Yep.", "Ashley: Jackie, does billy know that I'm gonna be here?", "Jack: I don't know that i mentioned it. Why?", "Ashley: Well, I just can't help but wonder if the reason why he left jabot was because our two companies merged. He was completely against it, as you know. And then the last time I was here, I barely saw him. He spent thanksgiving with the newmans. So, I don't want to read anything into it, but it's a little --", "Jack: Don'T. Don'T. Billy's decision to leave jabot was something he felt he needed to do for himself. It had nothing to do with you or the merger.", "Ashley: Okay. So, how's his consulting gig going?", "Jack: I think it's kind of a stopgap job, something to keep him busy while he figures out what he was born to do.", "Ashley: Well, I sure hope he does.", "[ Glasses clink ]", "Billy: I'm sure you're still on the flight with the kids, but hopefully I'll have this deal wrapped up by tonight and I can enjoy the trip with you all. Oh, and, uh, thanks for tipping off jack, letting him know that I'm on my own tonight. I'm heading out to dinner with the family as we speak. That should, uh, keep me out of trouble. Okay. So, um, I miss you, and, uh, merry almost christmas. I'll see you soon. I love you.", "[ Sighs ]", "[ Sighs ]", "Ashley: To fen!", "Abby: Hear, hear!", "Jack: Cheers!", "Michael: Fenmore!

You know, fashion week is the end of february.", "Traci: That sounds like the perfect winter break.", "Lauren: Right?", "Fen: Yeah, maybe once I get my bearings, I could tag along with you.", "Lauren: Ooh. I love that idea.", "Michael: A family excursion.", "Lauren: Right? We're both due for some time off work, right?", "Ashley: Well, I insist you come stay with me. I've got plenty of room, and I'm close to all the major venues.", "Lauren: Yeah, aren't you on the 8th arrondissement?", "Ashley: Yes, I am, right off the avenue montaigne.", "Jack: Great news about fen.", "Ashley: It's great.", "Jack: I know how worried lauren was.", "Michael: Ah. Just seeing him standing there happy and healthy. Your dad means the world to both of us.", "[ Chuckles ]", "Kyle: Man, they'll let anyone in this joint.", "[ Laughter ]", "Fen: Kyle, good to see you.", "Kyle: Oh, great to see you, too.

You are a lucky guy, kyle.", "Lola: I am so glad you're here, fen.", "Fen: Yeah. Me too. You know, I remember how badly you wanted to be the head chef at abby's new restaurant, and now I get to see you in action.", "Abby: We were wondering what happened to you two.", "Ashley: Yeah, did you get lost on the way from the kitchen?", "Lola: Ha. No. You know, I needed kyle to help me with the canapéS.", "Kyle: Mm-hmm.", "Traci: Canapés! That's what took so long.", "[ Laughter ]", "Lauren: You know, to hurt your feelings or anything, but that shade of lipstick looks so much better on lola.", "Lola: Oh, no! [ Laughter ] I thought I got it off. I am so sorry.", "[ Indistinct conversations ] [ Laughter ] I'm so sorry.", "Jack: Oh, thank god somebody else is doing it now.", "Abby: There must be mistletoe over the stove.", "[ Laughter ]", "Lola: Sorry.", "Billy: Hey. Sorry I'm late.", "Jack: No, you are good! Come on in!", "Billy: [ Chuckles ]", "Lola: So glad you could join us.", "Abby: Mwah!", "Traci: Although billy isn'T. He's supposed to be in telluride right now.", "Billy: Yeah, well, chalk it up to my exquisite timing, taking a consulting job days before christmas. Smart.", "Jack: You're just tempting fate doing that.", "Billy: Yeah, exactly.", "Abby: Don't worry. You'll be there in time for the important part -- waking up and seeing johnny and katie's little faces on christmas morning.", "Michael: Mm, seems to me you played it just about right. I mean, when fenmore was growing up...", "Fen: Oh, god.", "Michael: ...Christmas eve was crunch time. It was a ton of pressure. It was assembling and wrapping into the wee hours.", "Lauren: Oh, my god. Do you remember the one year that we gave him a bike, and at 2:00 A.M. In the morning, there were bike parts all over the living room?", "[ Laughter ]", "Michael: It was like tool chest explode.", "[ Laughter ]", "Lauren: And then in the morning, fen comes out in his little pajamas -- you know, the ones with the feet in them...", "Traci: Aww!", "Lauren: ...Wiping sleep out of his eyes. [ Laughter ] And he looks to the bike, he looks at michael, he looks to me, he looks back at the bike, and he's says...", "Fen: Okay, mom --", "Michael: \"Daddy, daddy, did you forget to give santa claus his milk and cookies?\"", "[ Laughter ]", "Billy: Yeah, well, we're talking about victoria here, which means everything was bought, assembled, and wrapped, and shipped to colorado days before.", "Abby: I have to admit, that does sound like my sister.", "Jack: So, can we get you a glass of wine?", "Michael: Yes.", "Billy: Red would be perfect.", "Abby: On it. Be right back.", "Jack: Thank you.", "Billy: Fen. Hey, man.", "Fen: Hey.", "Billy: Good to see you. How is everything? This is a nice little christmas surprise.", "Fen: Yeah.", "Lauren: Yes. For us, most of all.", "Fen: I'm just happy to be here, you know, alive and well.", "Billy: Good. You just here visiting or...", "Fen: No. I-I just got out of rehab, actually.", "Billy: Oh. Good. Well, that's -- that's terrific.", "Fen: Thank you. Yeah. I just got so lost out there on tour with all those musicians, and I didn't even know it. You know? It was like -- I don't know. I was kind of like I couldn't even trust myself anymore.", "Jack: Yeah, I know that feeling.", "Fen: Yeah. You know, and quitting again was hard. I mean, it's still a struggle, but remembering that there are things to live for, like family and friends, music...", "Billy: Mm.", "Fen: That's what I focus on now -- you know, trying to be the best version of myself that I know I can be.", "Abby: Alright, red wine right here and seltzer for you.", "Fen: Thank you.", "[ Indistinct conversations ]", "Abby: Uncle jack, would you care to make a toast before we all sit down?", "Jack: I would love to.

And to our friends and loved ones who have been such an amazing support system to us, we are eternally grateful.", "Michael: Cheers.", "Jack: There are a few chairs missing this year -- dina, who we've all watched slip further and further away as the year has gone on. 2019 was the year we lost our dear friend neil. Our joy is tempered by heartache, which makes this time together all the more precious.", "Ashley: Amen, jackie.", "Jack: I've learned one important thing this year -- to say what is in your heart while there's still time. So I'd like to say to everyone in this room -- thank you for your presence in my life. To your continued health and happiness and a very merry christmas.", "All: Merry christmas!", "Jack: Merry christmas.", "Lauren: [ Laughs ]", "Billy: Cheers, buddy.", "Michael: Cheers.

I had to learn to work with jill after I found out that she was my sister and she became half-owner of fenmore'S.", "Kyle: Yeah? What was that like?", "Lauren: Oh, exasperating. [ Laughter ] The woman takes a stand, digs in her heels, and does not budge.", "Billy: Who we talking about?", "Lauren: Oh, your mother.", "Billy: Oh, yeah.", "Lauren: Who I love dearly. Now, anyway.", "Abby: Who wants more coffee?", "Billy: I'll have a top-up, please.", "Abby: Alright. Anyone else?", "Jack: I'll have a half a cup. Thanks.", "Kyle: Uh, we're gonna pass. Lola's, uh, feeling tired.", "Michael: Aw.", "Lola: Whew, yeah. You know, a long day of cooking and being on my feet.", "[ Laughter ]", "Traci: Okay. Before you go, everybody, I have just a little surprise, a little something for everyone.", "Ashley: Whoa!", "Traci: Let's see here.

You must be. It's okay to talk about it, Lily.", "Lily: Yeah, it just freaks people out, you know? It's like if I even mention the word \"Death\" in front of my dad, he acts like he's gonna have a panic attack.", "Mac: Of course, because he doesn't want to consider the possibility.", "Lily: I don't either, but I just-- I can't help it. You know? It's like I-- I get these visuals in my head of Cane and our little son or daughter visiting my grave, and I know it's awful. I do.", "Mac: I think it's totally normal to imagine the worst, but it doesn't mean it's gonna happen.", "Lily: I mean, what if I don't make it long enough to see my miracle? You know, what if talking to you is the only chance I get to talk to my child?", "Mac: Everyone who becomes a parent-- everyone who loves takes that risk that something bad could happen. Look at Traci and Colleen.", "Lily: You and Billy.", "Mac: Yes. Me and Billy.", "Lily: Doesn't that make you want to protect yourself?", "Mac: Yeah, sure, but... I have seen things, horrible, horrible things, atrocities that you can't even begin to imagine.

I know.", "Cane: I know. I know. I know. And of all the people, you understand this.", "Neil: I do, Cane. I felt the same thing last night when you called and told me that Lily was in the hospital again. Honestly, I-I felt that way when she moved back in with you. I couldn't stop thinking, she's leaving my house, maybe for the last time. But it wasn't the last time. All that was fear-- just wasted energy.", "Cane: Yeah, I know. That's why we have to make the most of the time we have. I've learned that from this.", "Neil: Yeah.

You can take off if you want. I've got the situation handled.", "Nick: Oh, yeah, sure you do. You handled this beautifully.", "Adam: So the weather's my fault now, huh?", "Doctor: Mr. Newman?", "Nick: Yes?", "Adam: Yeah? We're brothers.

No, I know exactly what you mean. I was the same way.

Is it something I said?", "Lily: No, no, no. These two I'm stuck with, okay? But you--you go out there and you have fun so I can live vicariously through you.", "Devon: No, Lily.

You can give me a ride back to the coffeehouse.", "Devon: All right, but that cannot stop me from calling to check in on you.", "Lily: Okay.", "Devon: All right?", "Lily: Bye.", "Devon: Bye.", "Mac: Bye.", "Neil: See you later, man.", "Cane: Bye. See you.", "Devon: See ya.", "Cane: (Sighs) Oh, check this out. Devon brought that CD you wanted. You want to put this on? Lily? Hey.", "Lily: No, I'm-- I'm fine.

Um... (Clears throat) So what caused the crash? Do they know?", "Nick: Just the weather-- wind shear, that's all. It wasn't sabotaged. Nothing like that.", "Phyllis: Wow. All right, so it's over. She's good. It was an accident. You can come home now, right?", "Nick: Yeah, I'm comin' home.", "Phyllis: See you there.", "Michael: Oh, ho. Miraculous.", "Phyllis: It would have been the same great news if Nick was here and not there-- here with me. It would have been the same great news.", "Lauren: I'm sure he just reacted, you know?", "Phyllis: Yeah, and that's what he does, isn't it? Anytime Sharon's in trouble, he just gets on his white horse to save her, rescue her, even if he's not needed. Right? How much of my life is gonna be spent waiting for my husband to come home to me?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: The oxygen masks came down, and that sound. I'm still hearing it now.

I'll call in my marker soon. Go be with Eden.", "Noah: You want me to take Summer? She could have a sleepover at Fen's.

Sharon Newman.", "Akana: And the woman who fell?", "Sharon: Skye Newman.", "Akana: How are you and Skye related?", "Sharon: We were married to the same man.", "Akana: I see. So the two of you went on a hike together.", "Sharon: No. No, we didn't go together. You see, this is kind of a long story, but, um, everyone back in our hometown thinks that Skye is dead, but I found out she was here, so I came here looking for her.", "Akana: When you found her, what happened?", "Sharon: Well, we were both a little off guard when we ran into each other on the trail. Um, and I tried to take a picture of her-- well, I did-- here, I'll show you. I took a picture of her, and... my camera. It must have dropped. (Sighs) The picture of Skye... it m--it's gotta be back at the site. We'll have to go back.", "Akana: To get your camera?", "Sharon: And to find Skye.", "Akana: Yeah, let's do that.", "Sharon: Look, I know that this is really hard to believe, but I--honestly, I-I did everything I could to save her.", "Akana: Let's get back up there and see what we find.", "Sharon: Okay.

I really need to speak with him. Is my dad with you right now?", "Sharon: Nick, I have no idea where--where Victor is right now, but I did find Skye.", "Nick: What? Where?", "Akana: We should get going.", "Sharon: Listen, I'll-- I'll just tell you everything when I get back, okay? Bye.", "Nick: But--", "Akana: Ready?", "Sharon: Yeah.

You conned her into changing her testimony.", "Daisy: It was her idea!", "Kevin: Yeah, because she's messed up, okay? She's messed up because of you and your sick family!

I was willing to help you.", "Daisy: You want to steal my baby? Forget it. Just forget it!", "Kevin: I don't want your kid.

Nice sweet Kevin, right? You don't know a thing about me.", "Daisy: Listen, Jana's got you wigged out or something. That has nothing to do with me. All I care about is taking care of my baby. You want to help me? That's fine. You don't? That's fine.", "Kevin: I'm gonna--", "Daisy: I don't care!", "Kevin: I'm gonna help. I'm gonna make sure that that kid is taken away from you the second it's born, because nobody deserves to have a mother like you.

She's not even born yet, and she's turning everybody's lives upside-- no. No. No. I'm not gonna do that. I told myself I'm not gonna blame the kid. This is all... my sister.

This year being over is definitely a reason to celebrate.", "Jana: (Sighs) Yeah.

You are giving us the baby, right?", "Daisy: Does, uh, Kevin know about this, our--our deal?", "Jana: Of course he does. He couldn't be happier.", "Daisy: Really? What did he say?", "Jana: What did he say?", "Daisy: Yeah. Mm-hmm.", "Jana: (Sighs) He said that he cannot wait to be a father, the three of us a family.", "Daisy: He must have been really grateful to you.", "Jana: Yeah, he is.

She looked completely different.", "Akana: No, she didn't, because she wasn't there.", "Sharon: (Sighs) What?", "Akana: Look... (Sighs) Mrs. Newman, I talked to Ronan Malloy at the Genoa City P.D. Skye Newman is presumed dead, killed by her husband.", "Sharon: No, that's not true.", "Akana: You told Koa if you found the other Mrs. Newman, it would get your boyfriend out of jail.

I did.", "Akana: (Laughs) Then-- then she \"Conveniently\" fell off the mountain.", "Sharon: Yes! I mean... (Sighs) No, not conveniently. It wasn't convenient. It was awful. I watched her die.", "Akana: So you say.", "Sharon: You have to believe me. You--I-I swear, I swear on my life, I swear on my children's lives.", "Akana: That's not enough. As far as I'm concerned, Skye Newman was never here.", "Sharon: Yes, she was! She was here. She died here. You have got to verify that. You have to issue a death certificate or something.", "Akana: If I do that, a murderer could go free.", "Sharon: What... (Sighs) What do I have to do to convince you that I'm telling you the truth?

I won't help you get custody.", "Phyllis: But you s-- you said that you didn't--", "Kevin: That I don't want to adopt the baby. I don't want you to adopt her, either.", "Phyllis: Wow. Okay. I'm the best one to raise this baby.", "Kevin: No. I think Daniel's right. The best thing for this baby is to get as far away from Daisy and Genoa City as she can.", "Phyllis: This is our family. This is your family.", "Kevin: (Sighs) That doesn't-- that doesn't guarantee her happiness. I mean, people in your family hurt you just as easily as anybody else can.", "Phyllis: You know, this is not the same kind of situation like you and your father.", "Kevin: But it could be, if Daisy's in the picture. I mean, I look at it like this. If the kid doesn't know that she's a bad seed, then maybe she won't turn into one.", "Phyllis: So what does this mean? You're gonna--are you-- are you gonna help me?", "Kevin: I'm gonna help the kid and do whatever I can to make sure she's got a decent shot at a good life.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Daisy: Oh...

You know, that the baby could come any day now?", "Daisy: Now we're not really sure of that, actually.", "Daniel: You can't-- you can't mess around with Mother Nature.

When someone's intelligence outweighs their ability to feel as much as yours does, it makes you more dangerous than I realized.", "Adam: As soon as Sharon gets back with Skye, the charges will be dropped, and you won't be able to keep Faith from her mother any longer.", "Nick: If you go anywhere near my daughter--", "Adam: That will be entirely up to Sharon. If she wants us together, she wants to build a family with me and Faith, that's her call, and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: What kind of proof?", "Akana: Something that belonged to Skye Newman, something that proves she was living here.", "Sharon: The mailbox. The mailbox--box 18. Yeah, Skye had a bottle of perfume delivered here. Tell him. Tell him.", "Akana: Koa?", "Koa: I don't have no idea what she's talkin' about, Brother. Sorry.", "Sharon: What? He's lying! He is. I-I have no idea why, but he is lying. Look, ask the mail carrier. He will tell you.", "Akana: Even if this perfume was sent here, how do I know you didn't send it?", "Sharon: I didn't.", "Akana: Look, Mrs. Newman, unless you want me to start investigating you for fraud, I suggest you catch the next flight back to Wisconsin.", "Sharon: Skye-- Skye was here. And she was alive, and somebody here has gotta believe me.", "Akana: (Sighs)", "[NEXT_ON]", "Daniel: I am about to climb out of this hellhole that Daisy has dragged me into.", "Jana: We have to get you to the hospital.", "Daisy: No, I'm not going to the hospital.

Jenna owes this to you.", "Stitch: Okay, well, I will relay that sentiment to her in a less fierce tone, of course.", "Abby: No one disses my husband.", "Stitch: Mmm.", "Abby: Get used to it.", "Stitch: Whoa.", "Abby: Mm-hmm.", "Stitch: Wow. [Sighs] Jenna, hey, it's me again. Listen, we have -- we have got to sort this out, okay? I-I know I missed a lot of time with max, but marrying Abby is a big day for me. It's a new beginning, and I want him to be a part of it. [Sighs] Okay, it would be great if we could work together as reasonable adults to make this happen for our son. Please.", "Sharon: That Nick and sage have come so far that we could celebrate together with the baby, the day was incredibly healing.", "Dr. Anderson: I'm glad it was such a success.", "Sharon: Well, same time next week?", "Dr. Anderson: Sounds good. You take care.", "Sharon: Okay.", "Dr. Anderson: Okay. [Sighs]", "Mariah: Really? Don't you feel like you should be seeing a regular therapist and not the one from Fairview?", "Sharon: Dr. Anderson offered to continue with my care so that I don't relapse. I owe her everything.", "Mariah: Yeah. She's collecting. I mean, the gift to sully and crashing the wedding -- don't you think she's overstepping just a tad?", "Sharon: She's concerned.", "Mariah: There's concerned and then there's that crazy cuckoo look she has in her eyes.", "Sharon: Not everyone is Ian ward.", "Mariah: Wow. Left field. Thank you for that.", "Sharon: I just mean he gained your trust and he manipulated you, and it's natural that now you might be suspicious of someone else who's in a position of authority who's offering comfort and advice.", "Mariah: All I'm saying is that if you're not careful, she's gonna shrink-wrap your head and hang it in a rearview mirror.", "Nick: Dr. Anderson.", "Dr. Anderson: Oh, Nick. Call me sandy, please. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.", "Nick: Uh, back at you. And I did.", "Dr. Anderson: That smile says it was pretty special.", "Nick: Uh, well, don't judge, but I went against your advice. I asked sage to go away with me for a few days so we could reconnect, and it was great. Then we came back, uh, Christmas morning and we spent it with Sharon and Dylan watching faith open up her Christmas presents.", "Dr. Anderson: And Sharon's baby?", "Nick: Oh, it was fine. I mean, sage even held sully for a while. It was amazing.", "Dr. Anderson: I'm glad the day was so happy.", "Nick: But?", "Dr. Anderson: It's -- it's not my place. You're not my patient.", "Nick: Sandy, I'm asking you as a friend.", "Dr. Anderson: [Sighs] I've -- I've seen what losing a child does to a woman, watching other mothers live the joy they'll never have. I've seen them completely break down because of it. I would hate for my next patient to be sage.", "Adam: Here you go.", "Sage: Oh, thanks.", "Adam: Sure.", "Sage: Faith was so excited when she opened up her gifts. Nick gathered all the bows together and made a little bow-quet. Isn't that cute?", "Adam: Yeah. It's cute. I remember them doing all that family tradition stuff.", "Sage: What?", "Adam: Well, it's a little insensitive, isn't it, considering what you just went through?", "Sage: No. I can't expect Nick not to enjoy today with faith because of me.", "Adam: Because you just lost a child, because you won't have any experiences like that. And there you are, you're sitting there with Nick and faith and Dylan and Sharon and sully, and you got no one. How could you not think of Christian?", "Sage: Don't say his name like that.", "Adam: And the Christmases you're never gonna have and the birthdays that you're never gonna have.", "Sage: Why are you doing this?", "Abby: I cannot thank you enough for doing this.", "Chelsea: Listen, you convinced Victor to give me back my company. I will gladly design all your wedding dresses.", "Abby: [Chuckles]", "Chelsea: Sorry. That's -- that's -- that didn't come out right. Um...[Laughs] Obviously you're only gonna need one wedding dress. I just -- you know -- you know what I was saying.", "Victoria: Of course.", "Abby: Well, um, you are very talented, and I don't know how I'm gonna choose.", "Chelsea: Well, you will know the right one when you see it.", "Victoria: That's how it was for me. Love at first sight. Luckily it went well with handcuffs.", "[Laughter]", "Abby: Well, I wish I could use those on Jenna.", "Chelsea: Oh, stitch's ex?", "Abby: [Sighs]", "Victoria: Is she still being a pain in the butt?", "Abby: Worse. She's rubbing off on max. He copped a total attitude on Christmas. He wouldn't even talk to Ben. Ben was totally crushed.", "Chelsea: Rule number one -- no matter how badly things end, you shouldn't be bad-mouthing your ex. And you certainly shouldn't be using the kid as a pawn.", "Victoria: Yeah, I'm sure that Jenna is just protecting max. You know, it's very hard to co-parent with someone after they've hurt you.", "Abby: Back when she thought he was a crazed killer, yeah, I get it. But she knows that's not him. She knows the kind of man that he is, but yet she's still trying to turn max against his father.", "Chelsea: I met her, remember? When Billy and I were in Australia. She definitely despised stitch. Looks like nothing's changed.", "Abby: This wedding is her chance to step up, to get over herself, to realize that stitch has sacrificed and suffered enough. Jenna needs to give Ben this gift and do what's right for max in the process.", "Stitch: You know, I'm starting to think this whole wedding thing is just practice for the marriage part. So you know what I do?", "Dylan: What do you do?", "Stitch: I shut up and do as I'm told.", "Dylan: [Laughs] Well, you're a fast learner.", "Stitch: Yeah, I'm ready for the real deal.", "Dylan: Well, there's nothing like it, man.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Dylan: It's great. It's, uh --", "Stitch: Excuse me, man. It's Jenna. I got to take this.", "Dylan: Yeah, sure.", "Stitch: Hey. Thanks for calling me back. Okay, w-what do you mean, max can't come? Why won't you let him? Come on, Jenna. I have respected your wishes from day one, okay? I never fought you. I never asked for anything. I'm asking you now. I'm getting married. I want my son there. [Scoffs] Yeah, you're right. I don't have much of a relationship with max right now because you took him to Australia! No -- good parenting? Don't kid yourself, okay, 'cause you're being selfish and vindictive! Hello? Jenna. Jenna! [Groans] [Sighs] I'm sorry, man. I-I shouldn't have let her get to me like that.", "Dylan: You have every right to be upset. Stitch, I couldn't imagine somebody keeping my son from me.", "Sage: [Sighs]", "Adam: I'm sorry.", "Sage: [Sniffles]", "Adam: That was -- that was insensitive of me. I shouldn't have talked about your son like that. I apologize.", "Sage: It's okay. Thank you. I just thought I was past this, you know, or getting past it, at least. Every time I think about Christian or I hear his name, I end up like a freaking mess.", "Adam: No one expects you to be magically okay.", "Sage: But I want to be okay, Adam. I have to be okay.", "Nick: You know, sage was good. She was strong. It was probably tough for her at first to be around the baby, but after awhile, I think she started to enjoy it.", "Dr. Anderson: I'm sure it appeared that way, but what you witnessed was sage internalizing her real feelings, trying to live up to what you want her to be.", "Nick: I just want her to be happy.", "Dr. Anderson: That's where the pressure comes in. She doesn't want to disappoint you, so she plays a role, suppresses her true emotions, which can be very harmful. Look, Nick, I-I know it's not what you want to hear, but as much as you think spending time with sully is good for sage, it only makes things more difficult for her.", "Nick: I thought we were making progress.", "Dr. Anderson: The best thing you can do for sage is to relieve her of all these expectations. Instead of putting her in situations like the one at Christmas, just take a step back and give her space to grieve. But hey, look, it's just my opinion. You need to do what's best.", "Nick: Thank you.", "Dr. Anderson: You're welcome.", "Nick: Hey, ladies.", "Faith: Daddy, do you want some?", "Nick: You know what? I think I'm all candied out.", "Sharon: Um, Nick, I... there's something... there's something that I didn't mention to you on Christmas day, and it has to do with Noah.", "Nick: Yeah, Adam was very excited to share that news with me. Why the hell is Noah working at Newman after what dad pulled with Marisa?", "Sharon: She's exactly the reason Noah's doing it.", "Victor: Just continue what you're doing, Noah. The hard-working grandson trying to prove himself. Gain Marisa's and Luca's trust.", "Noah: Come on, grandpa. What is it? What -- what is it you're not telling me?", "Victor: Just remember that some sacrifices will have to be made.", "Noah: What kind of sacrifices?", "Victor: Noah... every so often in business, you have to go into war, you know? The Santoris fight dirty. But your grandfather relishes that. But if need be, I fight dirtier, okay? You just got to make sure that you have your emotions under control.", "Noah: My feelings for Marisa, so they don't cloud my judgment.", "Victor: Exactly. All right?", "Noah: 'Cause it's Luca's wife and it's his weak spot. Oh, and Luca's father hates her.", "Victor: You know, she's one of those women who inspires passion in men, for better or worse.", "Noah: So when we're talking about sacrifices, is she gonna be one of them?", "Victor: You just remember what you promised, that you will do everything in your power to help this family. Our family. Remember that.", "Billy: The cyber project wouldn't be some long-shot lottery ticket for me. I would make it my life. And I admit I don't know my nanobytes from my gigabytes, but I do know how to sell, and I understand how a project of this size and scope -- look, I know what it takes, and I can deliver.", "Kevin: Yeah, you tend to deliver -- punches, excuses.", "Billy: I would invest blood, sweat, and tears in this. I need something to prove to my family that I'm sorry about paragon and I'm not just some screw- up.", "Kevin: Okay.", "Billy: Come on, man. Work with me.", "Kevin: Okay. You're a new man, or you're trying to be. Well, props on the effort.", "Billy: You will not regret this.", "Kevin: Billy, I'm sorry. I have nothing. The hacker bailed.", "Billy: What happened?", "Kevin: She's not returning my calls. She stopped responding to my e-mails and my texts. Maybe she found another partner. Who knows? But it appears as though the cyber fortune train has left the station without us.", "Billy: [Sighs] Hey, Mariah.", "Mariah: Hey. Punchy McDrunkerson.", "Billy: I guess I deserve that one.", "Mariah: Yeah.", "Billy: Looking for Kevin?", "Mariah: I'm actually just dropping off. The man is crazy about fruitcake. It's twisted. What can I say?", "Billy: Yeah. You know, he was just telling me about his Swiss hacker friend. It's pretty outrageous, right? I mean, if it's true. What -- what do you think? Think the girl's for real?", "Stitch: Jenna's never been easy to deal with, but when it came down to it, I always thought she'd do the right thing.", "Dylan: So you're telling me that you don't have any say at all in the custody arrangement?", "Stitch: I signed those papers. I have to deal with it.", "Dylan: [Sighs]", "Stitch: You know... [Scoffs] You go into a marriage with all these hopes and dreams -- a life, a family. You never think it can go so wrong.", "Nick: Let's talk about something important.", "Faith: Am I getting a puppy?", "Nick: [Chuckles]", "Sharon: Let's just leave it at a new baby brother for now.", "Faith: Okay.", "Nick: How would you feel about a new house?", "Faith: What's wrong with the old one?", "Nick: Uh, nothing. Nothing's wrong with it.", "Faith: Where?", "Nick: In Grandpa's old building. We would stay, uh, you know, across the hall from where he used to live.", "Sharon: And your room will have a view of the whole city. And the best part is, you can walk to the park.", "Faith: And feed the ducks every day?", "Nick: You could do that twice a day if you want.", "Faith: Cool. But then I couldn't walk to see mommy and sully.", "Sharon: Well, you'll still see us just as often as you always do.", "Nick: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sully's gonna need his big sister. You're gonna get lots of quality time with your little bro. That's a promise.", "Sage: You know, when I was up in the mountains with Nick away from everything, I felt...good. I felt like -- I felt like myself. And I was able to hold baby sully and look into his eyes and not fall apart. I thought I was getting better. And then... I think about him. I think about Christian. And [Scoffs]...", "Adam: You know, um, sage, there's no -- there's no running clock on this. You're ready when you're ready. Heal in your own time.", "[Knock on door]", "Adam: Excuse me. Dad, come on in. What's the occasion?", "Victor: We have important work to do, son. Why aren't you at the office?", "Adam: Oh, I, uh, I ran into sage and Nick.", "Victor: Hello, sage.", "Sage: Hello, Victor.", "Victor: How are you? All right.", "Sage: We were rushing home just in time so faith could open up her gifts.", "Victor: Oh, yeah? I'll be damned. Well, someone like Nick, you know, is a good boy. He would probably take that as a sign that you're serious about reconciliation.", "Sage: What? What do you mean?", "Victor: Just an observation. Adam, on the other hand, would not take this at face value. He would question your motives and your endgame.", "Sage: Uh, are you warning me away from Adam and Nick both? I'm confused. This is the second time. Why?", "Abby: I knew this was gonna happen. I love them all.", "Chelsea: Well, I think this will help you decide.", "Victoria: [Gasps] Oh!", "Abby: Oh, my gosh. That's it. That's it. This is my dream on paper. This woman is a genius!", "Chelsea: No, it's not done yet. I still have to work on the beadwork and shorten the train. Um, oh, and we still have to discuss veil options.", "Abby: I'm never gonna want to take this off.", "Victoria: I think Ben will have other ideas.", "[Laughter]", "Abby: I-I love this dress. I love Ben Rayburn. And I cannot wait to get married and start our new life together.", "Stitch: You start out and everything's just so shiny and bright. It's all about love and the future.", "Dylan: Mm-hmm.", "Stitch: It's amazing how fast things can just go to hell. Uh -- Dyl-- I'm sorry, man. Don't -- don't listen to me, man. You -- you and s-- you and Sharon, you're solid, okay? You -- you got a beautiful kid, you know, a great family. This -- this will never happen to you.", "Dylan: Look, I know exactly where you're coming from. You know, just when you think things can't get better, life pulls the rug out from underneath you. That's what happened with me and Chelsea...and Connor. And, uh, you know how long it took me to get past all that stuff.", "Stitch: Yeah.", "Dylan: But I learned from it. You know, happy as I am, I'm a realist, okay? This marriage thing, it's -- it's living and it's growing, and you can't take anything for granted. You got to put the love in, you got to put the time in to build a solid foundation.", "Stitch: I'm definitely gonna get it right with Abby.", "Dylan: Good. I can tell you one thing. I mean, you know, God forbid if anything happened between Sharon and me, she wouldn't keep me from my son.", "Sage: Do you think I'm going to hurt Nick? Is that -- is that it? Because we're both hurting, Victor. We both lost a child, and we're figuring out how to work through this. Do you have a problem with me talking to Adam?", "Adam: No, no, no. He didn't mean anything by it.", "Sage: Because we have -- we have history. We were married.", "Victor: Yes. Yes. In name only.", "Sage: He delivered Christian. He understands where I'm coming from.", "Victor: Let me give you some advice.", "Sage: If it's another offer to relocate, I'm good. What do you want? Do you -- do you want me with Nick? Do you want me gone?", "Victor: I just want you to be happy. That's all. Really.", "Sage: I'm gonna leave you two to talk.", "Victor: All right. Thank you.", "Adam: Sorry. That was not subtle, dad.", "Victor: Yeah, well, we have a more immediate problem, son. It is Noah and the Santoris.", "Marisa: Can we talk?", "Noah: Um, I'm a little busy, um, right now.", "Marisa: Of course.", "Noah: Uh, hey, Marisa. No, I'm sorry. Um, yeah, of course. What -- what can I do for you?", "Marisa: How do you do it, focus on work? I'm -- I'm so distracted.", "Noah: Well, I guess it's just a matter of focus. I'm sorry. What's -- what's got you distracted?", "Marisa: You.", "Noah: Me?", "Marisa: I think about you.", "Noah: You think about me?", "Marisa: Yes. I'm worried about you.", "Noah: Don't be worried about me. I can take care of myself.", "Marisa: Luca's family, they're -- they're dangerous. Maybe -- maybe you should quit. [Sighs] Go back to the underground.", "Noah: Go back to the underground. Where it's safe?", "Marisa: Nobody gets in the Santoris' way. What's happening here, I don't want you involved in whatever's gonna play out.", "Noah: Which is why I need to be here, because I understand the danger. I know who's at risk. Do you get that?", "Luca: What's taking so long, Marisa? Where's the paperwork?", "Noah: You know what? If there's a problem, I can --", "Luca: No problem. Just ready for the workday to be over. The sooner we're done here, the sooner we can get back to the hotel.", "Marisa: Luca.", "Luca: What? What can I say? I'm a happy husband. Very happy.", "Noah: You know, uh, I think this is what you were looking for.", "Stitch: Oh, no. You guys are done already? I wanted to give some input.", "Chelsea: Oh, no. You'll just have to wait to see her walking down that aisle. I will keep you posted on the progress.", "Abby: Yes. Thank you. I love it.", "Victoria: Mwah.", "Chelsea: Bye.", "Stitch: Hey.", "Abby: Hey. Did you have any luck with Jenna?", "Stitch: That'd be a big, fat no.", "Abby: I'm sorry.", "Stitch: It's all right. She's not gonna budge, so I'm letting it go.", "Abby: Just like that?", "Stitch: Look, Jenna's in control. She doesn't want me to see max, so there's not a lot I can do. But what I can do is promise that our marriage, our family, will always come first. I may be missing my son, but I am not gonna let Jenna's anger take away from our wedding day.", "Abby: No. No, we won't.", "Dylan: Stitch is trying to make the best of the situation because that's who he is, but I know that he's going through a tough time. And, of course, you know, he's not gonna say anything.", "Sharon: Well, if anything ever happened to us -- and I'm not saying that it will, thank God -- I swear I would never put you through that. I would never keep your child from you.", "Dylan: That promise is mutual.", "[Knock on door]", "Sage: What's all this?", "Faith: We're moving in.", "Victor: Son, you need to focus. You need to close the door on sage. Enough of the hand-holding and soul-searching.", "Adam: She's suffering.", "Victor: You're flirting with disaster, son.", "Adam: No, I'm not flirting with disaster. I'm offering her a little thing called compassion.", "Victor: Are you kidding me? You're stirring her up!", "Adam: So you chase her off?", "Victor: Our plan is to get rid of the Santoris, okay? Remember? But it involves sacrifice. It'll be Marisa.", "Adam: And you think Noah's gonna go along with that?", "Victor: He will learn a hell of a lesson.", "Adam: That's your thing, right? You -- you really think you can control everything, don't you, and just, you know, make people forget about what they care about?", "Victor: Don't forget that you are Christian's father.", "Adam: [Sighs]", "Victor: And don't forget what it would mean if people found out about the paternity. You don't want that to happen, do you? Wouldn't be good. The Newman family is gonna rise again to the top out of the ashes. No one intimidates me, and no one scares me. You got that?", "[NEXT_ON]", "Phyllis: The man that I married and fell in love with and planned a life with was not the man I thought he was.", "Mariah: You can't have them both, Marisa.", "Marisa: You're right. It's time I set things straight with Noah.", "Adam: What do you say we work together, put ourselves at the top of the food chain? How's that sound?" ]

No way. Plus, you might want to bid on it later.", "Abby: I might just do that.", "Chelsea: Uh, is there a place that I can hang it up?", "Abby: Of course, yes. Follow me.", "Chelsea: Great.", "Ashley: [Gasps]", "Neil: Wow. Look at this. It's beautiful.", "Ashley: Hard to believe that 24 hours ago, we couldn't even find a dive bar to host us.", "Neil: The volunteers worked their butts off for this. Good job.", "Ashley: Is this amazing, Jack? I mean, can you believe they did all of this in such a short amount of time?", "Jack: I am very grateful to everyone for their hard work. I got to say this -- it sticks in my craw that I owe that man anything.", "Abby: Hmm, if you're talking about my dad, he saved your bacon.", "Neil: Ooh, she's got you there, Jack.", "Abby: Yeah, I mean, he gave you this primo location when your first one fell through so you didn't have to cancel, refund tickets. I mean, without my dad, there would be no benefit.", "Neil: She's got you there again, Jack. Didn't charge us a nickel, did he?", "Jack: Oh, trust me. Victor got his pound of flesh.", "Victor: There.", "Nikki: Thank you.", "Victor: Look at that.", "Nikki: Oh, as many times as I have seen you in a tux...", "Victor: Really? I hate to put this damn thing on, but it's for a good cause, isn't it?", "Nikki: Mm.", "Victor: But you, my darling, look gorgeous.", "Nikki: Thank you.", "Victor: Yes.", "Nikki: Well, I'm glad you think so, because you did pick out this gown.", "Victor: I did?", "Nikki: Yes.", "Victor: I forgot.", "Nikki: [Scoffs] So, I've been meaning to ask you...", "Victor: Mm-hmm.", "Nikki: How did Victoria react when she found out that you're the reason why brash & sassy! Isn't being evicted?", "Victor: I have not spoken to her about that.", "Nikki: Well, you came to jack's rescue and hers. Why wouldn't you want her to know that?", "Victor: I was concerned that she would assume that I thought she wasn't capable of solving her own problems.", "Nikki: And she would have a point.", "Victor: No, she would not have a point because I have the utmost confidence in her abilities. But this was an opportunity that presented itself, and I couldn't pass it up.", "Nikki: You've always had such a generous heart. Even if most of the world can't always see it.", "Victor: [Chuckles] I'm glad you feel that way.", "Nikki: I do.", "Cane: You almost done?", "Victoria: I'm going as fast as I can.

He's with the online breaking news team, and he's sending a team to film the drama.", "Cane: Oh, the \"drama\" of us leaving with our tails between our legs, right?", "Billy: No. The scene I'm about to make, calling on my \"philanthropist\" brother for the petty, vindictive, hypocrite he really is.

I was happy to do it.", "Abby: I feel bad for whoever bids against me because they will have a fight on their hands.", "Lily: Oh, you are on.", "[Laughter]", "Chelsea: Well, I hope, you know, the dress makes you a lot of money for the foundation.", "Neil: I'm sure it will, Chelsea.", "Chelsea: All right, well, uh, I guess I should be going. I hope you have a wonderful time and a happy new year.", "Neil: Wait a minute. Wait, you're leaving now?", "Abby: You're just gonna go home and change, right?", "Chelsea: Actually, um, I think I'm gonna skip the festivities.", "Lily: No, you should stay. You'll have so much fun.", "Abby: Yeah, you can't skip out.", "Chelsea: I'm just not in the mood for a party these days. Happy new year.", "Abby: You, too.", "Neil: Happy new year.", "Victoria: Embarrassing your brother in front of the press -- isn't that just as petty and vindictive as the move that he's made?", "Billy: You don't think we're entitled?", "Victoria: I don't think this has to do with \"we.\" I think this is between you and Jack.", "Billy: It was, until he screwed us all as a way to get back at me.", "Victoria: If you go through with this, you're gonna make brash & sassy! Look bad, too.", "Billy: But if we all --", "Victoria: No, I'm not having it, understood? I'm sure that Jill would agree.", "Cane: Yeah, maybe you should call her and find out. You may be surprised.", "Billy: Well, well. Dave. Jack send you to throw our stuff down the elevator shaft?", "Dave: Official jabot security memo, signed by the boss.", "Billy: Holy...", "Cane: What is it?", "Victoria: Give me that.", "Cane: Are you kidding me?", "Victoria: So we're not being evicted? Why are we just finding this out now?", "Cane: Who cares why we're finding out now? That means we're not being evicted, so you can call off your dogs.", "Billy: Yeah, that's fine, but why the last-minute change?", "Dave: Don't ask me.", "Billy: Always helpful and informative, Dave. I appreciate that.", "Victoria: Happy new year, Dave!", "Billy: What is this?", "Victoria: It's fantastic. There's no other word for it.", "Billy: No, but why? Why is this happening? What happened?", "Cane: Who cares why this is happening? It means that I get to go and spend new year's eve at the benefit with my wife, and you, if you were smart, you would go and celebrate at the benefit. Good night.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Faith: I can't believe how early he zonked out.", "Chelsea: I know. Connor's pretty good about going to bed at his regular bedtime.", "Faith: Well, I'm gonna be awake way past midnight, so I can tell him tomorrow what he missed.", "Nick: Really? You think you're gonna make it to the big countdown?", "Faith: I'm not gonna fall asleep like last year.", "Chelsea: [Laughs]", "Nick: And the year before that, and the year before that.", "Faith: I was a little kid then. This time, it'll be different.", "Nick: Oh, okay.", "Faith: In the meantime, we have lots to do.", "Chelsea: Like what?", "Faith: Make popcorn, there's like three movies I've been dying to see. Plus, we need to pick out our gear so we'll be ready.", "Nick: Wait. Sorry, what? Pick out our what? Did you put her up to this?", "Chelsea: [Laughing] No. What do you got here? [Gasps]", "Faith: Favors, daddy! For midnight!", "Chelsea: Ooh!", "Nick: What? Give me one of those pink things.", "Chelsea: Cool!", "Faith: There you go.", "Nick: Boom.", "Chelsea: Cute! I'm a princess.", "Nick: Oh, beautiful. There we go.", "[Laughter]", "Victoria: The last I knew, Jack was determined to pry us out of here before the deadline.", "Billy: So what turned it around?", "Victoria: I don't know. Maybe Jill threatened to sue.", "Billy: You really think Jack is phased by anything my mother does? This doesn't make sense to me.", "Victoria: Who knows, Billy? Maybe he got into the holiday spirit and he had a change of heart.", "Billy: [Laughs] Jack, heart? Don't think so.", "Victoria: Come on. He's not that bad. You know it. Jack may be a lot of things, but heartless is not one of them.", "Billy: What do you want me to say? I've already called off the camera crew. You want me to start singing his praises?", "Victoria: Okay, well, since the move is officially called off, I am gonna go to the benefit, too.", "Billy: All right, I guess that means I'm hanging out with the kids.", "Victoria: Oh, no. No, no, no. Brash & sassy! Bought a table. Babysitters have been booked. If cane and I are going, then you're going, too.", "Billy: [Sighs]", "Hilary: \"Pesh de ven-yay.\" \"Pesh de ven-yay.\"", "Devon: I think you nailed it, honey.", "Hilary: Yeah, with my luck, it's probably gonna be cut out of the teleprompter. You know, whose bright idea was it anyways to donate a trip worth $25k to a place that nobody can pronounce?", "Devon: Oh, I think that was victor's idea, actually.", "Hilary: Yeah, it figures. Just because he knows half-a-dozen languages, it doesn't mean that everybody else does. [Sighs] Devon... everybody in that room is gonna be judging me. All of the big-shots from Chicago to Milwaukee to Genoa City... the power players. The people that matter. The people that write those life-changing checks.", "[Cork pops]", "Hilary: Are you even listening to me?", "Devon: I am listening, yes, but I would like you to have some of this vintage 2005 Bordeaux because one sip, and you'll be talking like you were born in Paris.", "Hilary: That's not funny.", "Devon: With two sips, you'll be like Joan of arc, ready to lead the charge into victory. Three sips...", "Hilary: Yeah, I'll be slurring my words and no one will listen anyway.", "Devon: Sweetheart, you are beautiful, you are charming, and you are intelligent, okay? I have complete faith that you can get through this. Besides, who wouldn't want to buy whatever it is you're selling and be insanely happy with it? You're gonna get up there and you're gonna start rolling and have people eating out of your hands.", "Theo: Mariah.", "Mariah: Yeah?", "Theo: How's the proofing going?", "Mariah: Good.", "Theo: Want me to come along tonight, run the teleprompter?", "Mariah: No, no. It's new year's eve. You can take the night off, Theo. I got it under control.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Billy: You go right ahead, have fun. I'll spend the night with the kids breaking out the Christmas toys.", "Victoria: I'm pretty sure the kids are asleep by now.", "Billy: Then that's fine because the bulls and the bucks are playing, and I'll watch the second half.", "Victoria: Why are behaving like this?", "Billy: I'm not behaving any way. Mom bought a table. You're going, cane's going. That's enough. I don't need to see Jack all full of himself and smug. I don't think I can stomach it.", "Victoria: You know, there's this saying that the way you spend new year's eve is the way you're gonna spend your whole next year. We've been given a pretty great gift tonight. Are you sure you want to start things off so bitter and resentful? You should think about it.", "Chloe: Now, this is a new year's eve date.", "Kevin: Yeah, it was super cool of Michael and Lauren to share their table with us.", "Chloe: Yeah, and now, if only they would share their checkbook with us for the auction.", "Kevin: You know, I might bid on one or two of these awesome items, it's such a great cause.", "Chloe: Okay, well, you see that number? That's the least amount that you have to donate just to hold that paddle.", "Kevin: Come to think of it, I don't have any room for this garbage in my place, but I will write a check -- a very small check.", "Mariah: Excuse me, excuse me.", "Kevin: Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa!", "Mariah: Hey.", "Kevin: Hi.", "Mariah: Sorry, I'm kind of busy.", "Kevin: Whoa, whoa, whoa, too busy to say \"happy new year?\"", "Mariah: Happy new year.", "Kevin: Happy new year to you. What are you so busy doing?", "Mariah: Well, I'm kind of producing this whole thing for Hilary. It's time- and-a-half, so...", "Kevin: Oh. Good deal.", "Mariah: Yeah.", "Chloe: Well, you look like you're getting around really great in those heels.", "Mariah: Survival skills.", "Chloe: Well, you look great.", "Kevin: Uh-huh.", "Mariah: Thanks. Well, I won't be the one taking a fall tonight.", "Neil: Hey, thanks so much for coming. It's great to see you. Happy new year.", "Jack: Auction paddles are right around the corner on the piano.", "Neil: Thanks.", "Nikki: Hello.", "Neil: Well, hello.", "Jack: Hello.", "Victor: What a wonderful evening to raise funds.", "Neil: It certainly is, and you look absolutely stunning, Nikki.", "Nikki: Oh, thank you. You two look rather dashing yourself.", "Jack: Welcome, victor. I hope you brought your checkbook.", "Victor: Thank you for welcoming me to my own damn building.", "Nikki: We plan to make a very generous donation.", "Neil: Nikki, victor, you already have, and we thank you immensely for it.", "Jack: If you will excuse me, please.", "Victor: Of course. Neil, how have you been?", "Devon: This place is jumping.", "Hilary: Yes, the energy is fabulous.", "Jack: Yeah, so I'm told. If you'll please excuse me, I need to speak with your wife for just a moment.", "Devon: Sure, Jack. Yeah.", "Jack: Thanks, Devon.", "Hilary: Hey.", "Devon: [Clears throat] Hey.", "Mariah: Hey.", "Devon: Hilary is, uh, having a few jitters.", "Mariah: Really? I'm surprised.", "Devon: Well, she's never used a teleprompter before, so I just came over to make sure that everything's on track for tonight.", "Mariah: Yeah, you can tell her to relax. The machine is ready to go -- I triple-checked it myself -- and the copy is word-for-word what the foundation approved.", "Devon: Great.", "Hilary: Speaking of the teleprompter, can I take a look?", "Mariah: Yeah, of course. You want to go up there?", "Hilary: Yeah.", "Mariah: Okay. All right. Look at the monitor. And this is your introduction. So see how easily it scrolls? So you just set the pace, and I will follow your lead.", "Hilary: Okay. Wonderful.", "Devon: Hey, Mariah, thanks again for the taking the night to produce this for us.", "Mariah: Yeah. Of course. \"Overtime\" is the magic word.", "Devon: Everything's gonna run like clockwork, honey.", "Hilary: Okay, can you point me to the bar because I think I need another glass of wine.", "Devon: Sure. Can I get you anything?", "Mariah: No, I'm good.", "Devon: Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Abby: You're the guy who did all the tech for tonight.", "Ravi: Yes. Is -- is something wrong?", "Abby: Quite the opposite. Everything is great. I'm Abby, by the way.", "Ravi: Ravi. Pleased to meet you.", "Abby: Um, I haven't seen you around Newman before. What department do you work for?", "Ravi: Oh, no, I'm a software engineer for jabot.", "Abby: Oh! So you know Ashley Abbott then.", "Ravi: Yeah! Well, I report to Ashley.", "Abby: And she's the best boss ever, right?", "Ravi: The best. Ever.", "[Abby laughs]", "Ravi: You know her?", "Abby: I do. Quite well, actually. I've known her since the day I was born. She's my mom. Well, um, it was great to meet you, Ravi.", "Ravi: Uh...you, too. [Sighs] [Clears throat]", "Billy: Thank you.", "Jack: What are you doing here?", "Billy: Just here to enjoy the swingin' party. Brash & sassy! Got a table, so...", "Jack: Yes. I'll well aware.", "Billy: Look, Jack, however you feel about me, I believe in the foundation and its cause. Is that actually why you, uh, took back the eviction? Peace on earth and goodwill toward an errant younger brother?", "Jack: Errant -- now, there's an interesting word.", "Billy: Okay. Either way, I'm grateful.", "Jack: Well, you may not be once you find -- you know what? I'll leave it there. I think I'll just sit back and watch.", "Victoria: [Sighs] Sorry I'm a little late, but at least I come bearing good news. Jabot is not gonna kick us out of our office spaces.", "Victor: Really?", "Victoria: Jack mysteriously changed his mind. Isn't that incredible?", "Victor: That's wonderful news.", "Victoria: Yeah, I know. It's incredible. I'd like to thank him. Is he here?", "Nikki: Well, if you want to thank someone, you should thank your father. He is the mysterious reason why you still have an office to go to on Monday.", "Victoria: Whoa. Wait a minute. You did this? How did you pull it off?", "Victor: I did nothing nefarious.", "Victoria: Really?", "Victor: No.", "Nikki: There was some problem with the original venue, and your father allowed the foundation to use this space in exchange for your lease.", "Victoria: Wow. Thank you, dad. I'm sorry I misjudged you.", "Victor: You're forgiven.", "Victoria: But just for the record, you know I could have handled this on my own, right?", "Victor: Of course you could have.", "Victoria: Of course.", "Victor: Happy new year.", "Victoria: Happy new year.", "Victor: Congratulations.", "Victoria: Thank you. Oh! Hi, Billy. You made it.", "Billy: Yes, hi. I just came to hang out at the party. Hello. Hi, Nikki.", "Nikki: Hi, good to see you, Billy.", "Billy: You, too.", "Victoria: You're never gonna guess who persuaded Jack to let us keep our offices.", "Victor: You may thank me, as well, Billy boy.", "Jack: Could I have everyone's attention, please? Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. We'd love to get started. Thanks. Hello, I am Jack Abbott, and this is my dear friend and colleague, Neil winters.", "Neil: Thank you, Jack.", "Jack: It is our pleasure, along with that of the Abbott-winters board to welcome you to the first annual new year's eve Abbott-winters benefit gala.", "Neil: There it is.", "Jack: There you are.", "[Applause]", "Jack: Special thanks tonight is due to victor Newman, who very generously provided us with this beautiful venue. Please join me in giving him a hand.", "[Applause]", "Jack: And we would also like to thank Devon Hamilton. He's the owner of the Genoa City athletic club and the lovely Lily Ashby. She's the general manager of the GCAC, and she is responsible for donating all the food and all the drink that we're having here tonight. So, come on. Clap it up.", "[Applause]", "Jack: Neil and I are both so grateful that you are all here tonight with your credit cards and checkbooks, but the truth is, you've already contributed so much to our program with your mere presence. Tonight is a celebration, though, and we are very eager to introduce you to this evening's host.", "Neil: Let's welcome foundation board member and executive producer of \"GC buzz TV,\" Mrs. Hilary Hamilton.", "[Applause]", "Hilary: Whew! Okay. Well, good evening, everyone. Wow, look at you! You guys are a ridiculously gorgeous group of people. You all know that, right? [Chuckles] Thank you, Neil and Jack, for that wonderful introduction. I am delighted to be here, spending my new year's eve with all of you. We have a very exciting evening planned, so I hope everybody had a chance to look at all of the spectacular items that we have up for auction, and don't worry, we will get the fun started shortly. But first, we invite you to take a look at this short video presentation showing some of the outstanding work that the Abbott- winters foundation has done in the very short time that it has been in operation, demonstrating why every tax-deductible dollar that you give here tonight is so very vital.", "Neil: Jack and I created the foundation with a global vision to provide a support system around the world for those who need it.", "Jack: Our first endeavor was local. We set out to provide inpatient treatment and outpatient counseling in the immediate area for those suffering...", "Ashley: Might want to slow down, champ.", "Billy: What are you talking about? Didn't you hear? We're supposed to be celebrating.", "Ashley: Billy, I'd think you'd be in a better mood. You just got a great reprieve today.", "Billy: Oh, I'd be in a great mood if I didn't have victor to thank for it.", "Neil: ...Reaching out to the people who need us most...", "Hilary: [Exhales sharply]", "Neil: ...Who haven't always had access to high-quality care.", "Devon: Hey. Honey. You're doing fantastic. Can't even tell that you're reading a teleprompter.", "Hilary: Mariah, she's doing a pretty good job, too.", "Devon: Yeah, she is. She's doing great. She's taking it way better than I thought, too.", "Jack: But it doesn't come cheap.", "[Applause]", "Hilary: Ooh. That's my cue.", "Devon: Get 'em, baby. Mwah.", "Hilary: Thank you. Wasn't that inspiring? Someone very near and dear to me when I was growing up had a very serious problem with alcohol. It is one of the main reasons why I am involved in such an important cause. Like Jack and Neil and everyone else on the board, I am deeply proud of all of the work that we have done. And I hope that you are, too. So, without further ado, let us cut loose, and who is ready to start this auction, hmm?", "[Cheers and applause]", "Hilary: Whoo!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Chelsea: Oh, you know, I never get tired of that ending.", "Nick: Me, either. The big twist. They all end up super happy.", "Chelsea: I know, why can't real life be like that?", "Nick: Wouldn't that be nice? All right. What are we watching next? I know you said we were doing a full marathon. Faith?", "Chelsea: Down for the count.", "Nick: I mean, this kid -- it's even earlier than last year.", "Chelsea: [Laughs] Aww, so sweet.", "Nick: Oh, man.", "Chelsea: Aww.", "Nick: [Groans] Oh, come on, pretty girl.", "Chelsea: Oh, listen, um, I'll go wake up Connor and I'll get out of your hair.", "Nick: No, uh... don't go.", "Hilary: Congratulations to our lucky winner!", "[Applause]", "Hilary: Now, our next item up for bid is sure to \"get your motors racing,\" generously donated from Genoa City exotic cars.

Well, faith has resolved to spend more time with her pony, which shows you where I rate.", "Chelsea: No. Stop! Stop it. You're an amazing dad. I told you, it's just a confusing time for her. She'll move past it.", "Nick: Yeah, I hope so. So, really, no resolutions?", "Chelsea: [Sighs] I -- I don't know, um... if I had to say something, I guess I would say, um... I'll try to live more in the moment in the new year. It's not very original, is it?", "Nick: I like it. It's one of the better ones I've ever heard. Especially after the kind of year you've had.", "Chelsea: I appreciate that. And thank you for having me over tonight.

[ "Victoria and JT tried to impress upon Reed that drunk driving was a major issue, but they didn't seem to get through to him. Nikki and Victor discussed the fact that the PR company had planned their entire vow renewal and even paid for custom professionally written vows. Nikki talked to Reed about the possibility that he might have inherited her predisposition to addiction. Reed didn't think that was the case. Things heated up for Nick and Chelsea at the penthouse. Abby and Lily met for drinks. Devon disagreed with Jill's plan to try and push Cane and Lily together with a private party, but Jill was sure it would work. Scott was late to meet Sharon because he'd been off on a mysterious errand. Hilary gave Sam another gift, and she accepted Cane's invitation to the party. Jill told Hilary the truth about the party. Hilary decided to leave, but she said that Jill owed her.", "Cane and Lily decided to celebrate the New Year together even after they realized no one else was coming. They almost kissed, but at the last minute, Lily hugged Cane. Hilary told Devon that she wasn't interested in Cane. Hilary gushed about Sam, and Devon wondered if she wanted a baby. Hilary insisted that her biological clock was not ticking. Devon abruptly walked away from Hilary during the countdown to 2018. Abby had a hard time watching Scott be affectionate with Sharon at the ceremony. JT canceled his flight so he could be around to support Reed. Nikki and Victor renewed their vows and shared a kiss. JT kissed Victoria on the cheek as the clock struck 12. Scott followed Abby out of the room and passionately kissed her. Nick saw them, but didn't confront them.", "" ]

Reed has been arrested.", "Jill: I'm having a new year's eve bash tomorrow, and I want you here. There will be so many people, you won't even notice if cane's here.", "Jack: You look very comfortable holding a baby in your arms.", "Hilary: Me? Oh, god, no. The last thing that I need is a child.

You can't really chill out in a jail cell.", "Victoria: Oh, well, too bad, because we're gonna be heading to the ranch soon for your grandma and grandpa's vow renewal.", "Reed: Are you serious?", "J.T.: Hey! Hey...", "Victoria: I am very serious. This is an important night for the family, and you will be there and you will present an image befitting a newman, if it's not too late!", "Nikki: Oh, the flowers arrived for the ceremony.", "Victor: I hope the music won't be too insipid.", "Nikki: I'm sure the pr company took care of that. They took care of everything else. Oh! Even this.", "Victor: What's that?", "Nikki: Our wedding vows, written by professionals. Apparently, we're not to be trusted to speak from our hearts for this very joyous occasion.", "Victor: Well, that's why i keep hamilton-winters on retainer. They provide the romance. We just show up.", "[ Cellphone rings ]", "Nikki: Mm. Now what? Oh! Hey, sweetheart. How are you?", "Victoria: I hate to do this, but your big night might be in trouble.", "Sharon: Are you gonna be here soon? Because if we're late to the ranch, victor and nikki's on-again-off-again romance might be off again by then.", "Scott: Last time I checked, my boss and his wife were still a go. [ Clears throat ] But that was an hour ago.", "Sharon: [ Chuckles ] You made it.", "Scott: Yeah.", "Sharon: Okay, I just have to finish locking up.", "Scott: Sure.", "Sharon: What took you so long?", "Scott: I just had an errand i had to run.", "Sharon: One that you're not gonna tell me about?", "Scott: A little mystery keeps things interesting, don't you think?", "Sharon: Now that sounds like a challenge. I will find out your secrets one way or another.", "Scott: Oh!", "Sharon: [ Giggles ]", "Abby: No. No! This has nothing to do with scott grainger. Okay, maybe a little. And under normal circumstances, I would love to party with you on new year's eve.", "Lily: Uh-huh.", "Abby: But if you come with me to my dad and nikki's ceremony, bonus -- you could stand between me and scott all night. Yay for you!", "Lily: You know who would love to stand between you and scott, is scott's live- in girlfriend sharon.", "Abby: [ Sighs ]", "Lily: Is she gonna be there?", "Abby: Possibly. On one hand, she is dating scott, but on the other, she was married to my dad for 10 seconds, so, uh, that's a toss-up. Please. Please come.", "Lily: Oh, I would, but I have plans.", "Abby: You let me pour my heart out, and you were always gonna turn me down. Tease!", "Lily: I have a big new year's eve party at the chancellor mansion, and I was gonna ask you to be my date.", "Abby: Oh! An evening with cane?", "Lily: No! No, no, no, no. There will be lots of other people there, and jill would not take no for an answer. So now I'm stuck dateless. Most awkward new year's of my life, probably. So that should be fun.", "Abby: Okay, no. No more sad face emojis. We are going to have a great night with great people wearing great dresses, and if we want to make the last night of 2017 amazing, we do not need a buffer or a man to kiss at midnight, am I right?", "Lily: You are right. We are gonna have lots of other random fun people to chat with.", "Abby: Cheers.", "Jill: Hello there!", "Devon: Hey. Is that the food for your big new year's eve party? How you gonna feed all your guests?", "Jill: Well, it shouldn't be a problem since the only people in attendance will be cane and your sister.", "Devon: No, jill. No, we can't do that.", "Jill: Don't try to talk me out of this.", "Devon: Somebody needs to talk you out of it because it's a horrible idea.", "Jill: Would you rather see lily all sad and lonely and pining for the family that she loves?", "Devon: Of course not, but we already tried to give them a nudge on christmas eve, remember?", "Jill: Yeah.", "Devon: There's only gonna be so much that lily can take before this backfires.", "Jill: This is not too much. This is just enough. Cane and lily are being ridiculously silly. They're wasting time being stubborn.", "Devon: And you think you're gonna put them back together with a fake party?", "Jill: Sometimes these things just require a little deviousness, okay? And lucky for cane and lily, devious is my specialty.", "[ Laughter ]", "Cane: Sam is gonna love it. Thank you.", "Hilary: I saw it and i just -- I couldn't resist.", "Cane: He'll love it.", "Hilary: Okay, okay. So I'll get out of your hair.", "Cane: Hey, hey. Wait, wait. What are you doing tonight?", "Hilary: Um, tv, takeout, and, you know, just go to bed early. The way that I want it, by the way.", "Cane: Or you could come to jill's big party, you know, 'cause she doesn't like to do anything small.", "Abby: Hi! Happy new year!", "Lily: Hey!", "Devon: Hey! Happy new year. How you doing?", "Abby: Good! How are you?", "Devon: I'm doing well.", "Abby: Good.", "Jill: Happy new year.", "Abby: Hi!", "Lily: Hey.", "Abby: Happy new year!", "Jill: Are you all set for tonight?", "Lily: Yeah, I think so. Do you want to ride together?", "Devon: Um, no. I'm not gonna be able to make it tonight, actually.", "Jill: Yeah, devon turned me down.", "Lily: Wait, what? You have to come.", "Devon: Yeah, not this year.", "Abby: That doesn't sound like you, skipping a celebration.", "Jill: Well, let's not pressure him. I'm sure he'd make it if he could.", "Devon: Exactly. You guys have a good time, though. Enjoy yourselves tonight.", "Abby: Good night.", "Lily: Okay, bye.", "Devon: See ya.", "Jill: Good night. Thank you so much for covering for me, even though you don't approve of my methods.", "Devon: Mm-hmm. You know, you'll be able to get lily in the room, but you might have an issue with someone else, and that's hilary.", "Jill: Oh, please don't tell me that your ex has managed to sink her claws into cane.", "Devon: Well, cane's a grown man, and he knows hilary as well as anyone. So he's not a victim.", "Jill: Is that a yes?", "Devon: It's an \"I don't know,\" but lily's picking up some vibes.", "Jill: Oh, my lord. Then this \"party for two\" damn well better work. This could be a huge moment for cane and lily. Or else the fireworks could start early tonight.", "Nick: Yep, just measuring the stairs. I want to see how big a tub we can get up here. Although, we could use a crane, get one up through the window.", "Chelsea: Oh, no, no, no. You are not going anywhere near the windows.", "Nick: Is there a problem, ma'am?", "Chelsea: Oh, are you a handyman now?", "Nick: Well, I am handy, and last I checked, I am a man.", "Chelsea: Yeah, you are. You're a sexy man at that. But I hate to say it... if you don't go put your suit on, we are going to be late.", "Nick: No, we need to get to my parents' very sincere and very emotional vow renewal, so I'm not gonna have time to change into anything else.", "Chelsea: I will say, it would make for some extremely memorable family photos.", "Nick: Why not? Abby had her \"naked heiress\" stage. I'm the \"naked disinherited.\"", "Chelsea: You know, we don't have to go if you don't want to.", "Nick: Well, there's a big difference between wanting to go and wanting to stay right here.", "Chelsea: Or we could just spend new year's here, alone. There's plenty of extra leftover birthday cake. You say the word, and I'm putting those sweats on.", "Nick: Mm. Well, my mom needs me there, and my dad needs to see that he cannot come between me and my family.", "Chelsea: So...we're going.", "Nick: Yeah. We're going.", "Chelsea: But first, I have to take off this belt...", "[ Tools clanking ]", "Victoria: For reed to get busted for drunk driving? Mom, the timing is terrible. I don't know if I should scream or if I should cry.", "Nikki: We can take care of this, trust me.", "Victoria: Will you tell dad?", "Nikki: I don't know that we need to do that.", "Victoria: No, you're right. I wish we didn't have to tell him at all.", "Nikki: Just keep me posted, okay? Can you do that?", "Victoria: I will, mom. Thank you so much. I love you.", "Nikki: I love you, too.", "Victor: Everything all right?", "Nikki: Oh, yeah, it's -- the cleaners ruined victoria's dress that she was gonna wear tonight, so she has to find another one.", "Victor: Oh, yeah? Well, I'm sure whatever she chooses, it'll be fine. Tonight is going to be perfect, you know. No surprises.", "Nikki: I agree. There will be no surprises.", "Victoria: Of course I told your grandmother! Tonight is about appearances. It's about presenting the public with a positive image!", "Reed: Oh, so now I'm an image problem. Wow, I'm glad to know where i stand in the family.", "J.T.: Hey, what did I tell you? Don't talk to your mom that way.", "Victoria: Do you even understand why we're upset right now? You could have been killed on that road.", "Reed: Clearly I wasn'T.", "J.T.: What if you hurt somebody else, huh?", "Victoria: What is gonna take to get through to you? There's gonna be court, fines, license suspension. This could affect your chances with college, and god forbid this ever happens again.", "Reed: You both have been arrested before, and it didn't ruin your lives. So will you please just cut me a break?", "Cane: Look at that.", "Hilary: Look at that. Two seconds in that onesie, and he is out like a light.", "Cane: Well, you know what they say -- eat, sleep, poop. The kid's on a tight schedule.", "Cane: That's great. Hey.", "Jill: Well, hello. Goodbye, hilary. I assume you were just leaving.", "Cane: Uh, jill, listen...", "Jill: I'm sorry, forgive me. It's just -- [ Groans ] I have so much to do tonight.", "Hilary: Yeah, no, I heard all about it. Cane convinced me to join the party.", "Jill: Mm. [ Chuckles ]", "Victoria: You didn't have to come over.", "Nikki: Honey, of course i did.", "Victoria: I didn't want to bother you. Tonight's too important.", "Nikki: This is more important. I'd like to have a word alone with reed.", "Reed: [ Sighs ] Okay, grandma, I --", "J.T.: Thank you, nikki.", "Reed: So, they dragged you over here from the ranch to, uh, come lecture me, huh? Pretty ironic, don't you think?", "Nikki: Why, because I'm an alcoholic? That's exactly why I'm here. Did it ever occur to you that along with all the perks that you get being a member of the newman family that you may have inherited a predisposition to addiction?", "Reed: Grandma, I don't do drugs. I hardly even drink.", "Nikki: Honey, I understand that. It's not like that. I mean, it's not like I pounded back a fifth a vodka my first day of high school. It's that first drink, and then it just snowballs.", "Reed: Mom's fine. Uncle nick's fine.", "Nikki: And they're very lucky because, really, that's all it is, it's luck. But you've been pushing yours. Last night, halloween...", "Reed: Halloween?", "Nikki: Do you really want to keep pretending that you broke into the underground to listen to some music? We all know how that turned out. One drink is one thing. But then it turns into two, and maybe three... and then all of a sudden, you're careless and you're reckless. I still remember things that i did when I was drunk that just make me sick. I hurt a lot of people. I hurt my family. I hurt myself.", "Reed: Grandma, I understand, but I'm not --", "Nikki: An alcoholic. I understand that. And I like to think that you and I can be honest with one another.", "Reed: Grandma, I'm telling the truth.", "Nikki: Honey, so am I. [ Sighs ] One time, when I was drunk, I woke up the next morning in bed with a stranger. I have no idea how I got there.", "Reed: People do stupid, crazy things when they're young.", "Nikki: This was two years ago.", "Hilary: I want to watch it.", "Cane: You want to watch it?", "Hilary: Yes!", "Cane: He's over here. It's better this way.", "Jill: So, hilary. Hmm. I assume you're going home to change, huh?", "Hilary: No, I'm fine. I wore this on today's show.", "Jill: Ah. It's a costume. It's very festive.", "Cane: Uh, I think you look great.", "Hilary: Mm.", "Cane: And we're not going formal tonight because sam will just spit up on a tux, so... he's trying to keep me humble.", "Jill: Really? I thought you might be weaseling your way onto the newman estate, you know, or flying over in a helicopter with a long lens -- anything to get the scoop on victor and nikki's wedding vow renewal.", "Hilary: Yeah, I'll catch them on the next go-around.", "Jill: Yeah, um, I don't know about that, though. There is always some juicy scandal at their parties, isn't there?", "Hilary: I guess you don't watch \"the hilary hour\" overseas. Our new mission is to uplift and empower. Scandal is not our thing anymore. Tres passé.", "Jill: [ Laughing ] That is so interesting. Tell me more. Oh! My apologies. Was that sam?", "Cane: I didn't hear anything.", "Jill: Oh, I heard crying. Your son is definitely crying.", "Cane: Okay, well, I'll go check on him. One sec.", "Jill: Yeah. For sure. For sure. You keep your mitts off cane.", "Hilary: Why does everyone think that I want cane? Because I don'T. At all.", "Jill: Good! Good! Then prove it. Go home. Make up an excuse. You got a headache, you left the iron on -- anything. But go and stay gone.", "Hilary: Why, jill? It's a party, okay? What is one extra guest?", "Jill: It's a party for two, for cane and lily.", "Hilary: You couldn't get billy and victoria back together, and now you are trying with cane and lily?", "Jill: [ Groans ] This is gonna work!", "Hilary: Why should I do you any favors?", "Cane: Nope. He's sound asleep.", "Jill: Well, huh, my mistake.", "Hilary: You know, cane, I'm sorry, but I just remembered that I have a prior engagement for this evening. Sorry.", "Cane: I thought you were just gonna go home and go to bed early.", "Hilary: Yeah, no rest for the wicked, huh?", "Jill: Oh, well, we'll see you soon again, I'm sure. Happy, happy new year! And thank you.", "Hilary: You owe me.", "Abby: So, how does it feel to be here, your mom and dad saying their vows again?", "Chelsea: Look! Champagne.", "Abby: I'm just saying, does it fill you with fond memories or angst and dread?", "Nick: Look, I'm not gonna jump up when the judge asks if anybody objects to this nonsense. I'm also not gonna smile pretty for the cameras. I'm here for mom.", "Abby: Still, it means a lot to dad that you're here.", "Chelsea: Not a selling point, abby. Don't push it.", "Nick: The fact is, some people actually respect the concept of commitment. And some people don'T.", "Hilary: So, should auld acquaintance be forgot?", "Devon: Forget you? Never.", "Hilary: So, is this how handsome, single billionaires ring in the new year?", "Devon: Is this how beautiful tv stars do it?", "Hilary: Ooh, smooth.", "Devon: Thank you. So, I guess this is an answer to my question about cane yesterday. Because if you guys were involved, you'd be counting down to the new year at the mansion right now, right?", "Hilary: [ Chuckles ] So, according to you the other day...", "Devon: Mm-hmm.", "Hilary: I was seeing cane, and now you're positive that I'm not. Wow, you do spend a lot of time thinking about me.", "Devon: [ Chuckles ] Which instance am I wrong about?", "Hilary: Well, I did just leave the mansion. What do you think about that?", "Devon: I think that you need to be careful because cane isn't over lily.", "Hilary: Well, cane won't be single for long. Handsome, caring father who is running a huge corporation. I'm sure that some beautiful, smart woman will realize what a catch he is.", "Devon: I know I don't have any say in your life, but if you're even thinking about going down the road, you need to stop because it would be a mistake for the both of you.", "Hilary: You know who I am, right? You know when I'm telling the truth?", "Devon: I would like to think so.", "Hilary: I don't want cane. At all. But there is something that i just can't stop thinking about. Champagne, please.", "Lily: Hi!", "Esther: Lily, hi! Oh, come on in.", "Lily: Thank you. Happy new year.", "Esther: Happy new year!", "Lily: Thank you so much for inviting me.", "Jill: Oh, of course, sweetheart! Come in, come in!", "Lily: Thank you. [ Laughs ] Hi.", "Cane: Hey.", "Lily: Um, am I the first to arrive? Because I hate that.", "Jill: No, no. You're right on time.", "Lily: Okay.", "Jill: Would you excuse me, please?", "Lily: Sure.", "Jill: Thank you.", "Victoria: How did it go?", "Nikki: Well, he seemed to listen to me, but I'm not sure how much he actually heard.", "Victoria: For reed to drink and get behind the wheel of a car, he must know better. Why would he do something like that?", "Nikki: I have to say, I have had bad feelings since victor lured you back to newman.", "Victoria: What is that supposed to mean? My job has nothing to do with reed's behavior.", "Nikki: Sweetheart, I know how much your job means to you, but you do have other priorities.", "J.T.: Reed's been spinning ever since I got back in town. And my marital problems with mac aren't helping his sense of stability. But that's on me. That's not on victoria. You know, I underestimated victoria a long time ago as a mother, and I won't make that mistake again.", "Nikki: Well, I hope reed understands what's at stake.", "Victoria: If he doesn't now, he will soon. Trust me.", "Nikki: Oh, gosh. I've got to get ready for tonight. I hope I see both of you there.", "Victoria: Yeah. We'll be there.", "Nikki: All right. Good night, J.T.", "J.T.: Good night.", "Victoria: Good night, mom.", "Nikki: I got it, baby.", "Victoria: Okay. Thank you. You didn't have to do that.", "J.T.: Yeah, I did. And I meant it. I was wrong before about a lot of things. But I can't just say I'm sorry. I got to do something about it. Which is why I've come to a big decision.", "Sharon: You know, we should say hello to abby.", "Scott: No, let's save it for the goodbye.", "Sharon: Oh, stop. You two snark at each other, but, you know, it wasn't that long ago I had unfair suspicions of the two of you, and I feel a little silly about it now. So I would like to just go and say hello and make it clear that I know where we all stand. Come on. Abby! Hello. You look beautiful.", "Abby: Thank you. So do you. I wasn't sure I'd see you both here.", "Sharon: Well, I'm a sucker for weddings, or vow renewals. I think we can all root for true love.", "Scott: Milo's here from the office. I wanted to introduce you. Excuse us.", "Abby: You're excused. [ Sighs ] So, when does this whole thing get started?", "Nick: Well, I don't think they sent out an itinerary.", "Abby: [ Chuckles ]", "Chelsea: Maybe I should check on nikki, see if she needs help with her gown.", "Abby: Actually, I just talked to bonnie and she said nikki stepped out for a bit. I haven't seen her come back.", "Chelsea: She left the ranch when she's supposed to be getting ready?", "Abby: It's weird, right?", "Nick: Pulling a runaway bride.", "Hilary: Now, I know that you are dying to say \"I told you so.\" How many times did you ask me? No, no. Actually, you ordered me to put more feel-good stories out on the air, and we both know how that turned out. But now \"the hilary hour,\" we are just putting positivity out into the world, and we have nothing -- nothing but amazing ratings to show for it.", "Devon: Wow. That's all fantastic, but are you gonna finish telling me about this guy that you're interested in and that you can't stop thinking about?", "Hilary: Oh, no, devon. I'm sorry, did you -- did you think it was you?", "Devon: No. Why would I?", "Hilary: I'm so sorry. I shouldn't -- I shouldn't have been so vague.", "Devon: It's fine.", "Hilary: There's someone in my life, someone new.", "Devon: Really? Hmm. That's fantastic. I, uh -- I'm happy to hear it. As long as he makes you happy, that's all I care about.", "Hilary: Yeah, he does, and he has this smile that just -- it makes my whole day. He's so handsome with these eyes -- these eyes that you that you can just fall into.", "Devon: Sounds great.", "Hilary: Gosh, and his smile. Oh! His smile.", "Devon: Yeah, you just mentioned it.", "Hilary: But, you know, he's not perfect. Nobody is. He wears a diaper, but it just adds to his charm.", "Devon: And let me guess -- when you're done hanging out with this guy, do you have to put him over your shoulder and burp him?", "Hilary: [ Laughs ]", "Devon: Is that what we're talking about?", "Hilary: Yes. Yes, yes. It is true. I am putty in sam ashby's tiny little hands.", "Lily: Champagne is delicious.", "Cane: Yeah, jill brought the good stuff up from the cellar.", "Lily: [ Chuckles ] There's no one else coming, is there?", "Cane: No, it doesn't seem that way, no.", "Lily: Yeah. [ Romantic music plays ] Was this your doing, or...?", "Cane: Uh, most definitely not. Okay.", "Jill: [ Chuckles ]", "Cane: All right, um, jill.", "Lily: You two are shameless.", "[ Jill and esther giggling ]", "Cane: There you go. I'm sorry. I had no idea. Let me -- let me go and get your coat for you.", "Lily: You know what, wait. Jill and esther went to a lot of trouble for this, and I don't have any plans, and I am hungry.", "Cane: So, you want to stay? Have a party with just two guests?", "Lily: Well, unless you'd rather not.", "Cane: Madame... more champagne?", "Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yes, monsieur.", "Victoria: You will smile and you will remember your manners.", "Reed: Mom, I'm not 5.", "Victoria: Well, you're not 21, either, but you still decided to drink, didn't you?", "Reed: Is it gonna be like this all night?", "J.T.: It's gonna be however we tell you it's gonna be.", "Reed: Oh, so now you give a crap about what I do? Is that why you're taking off, because you care so much?", "J.T.: What the hell is that?", "Reed: It's the truth, right? You're ready to leave town again.", "Victoria: No, he's not.", "Reed: What?", "Victoria: Your father's not going anywhere. He's decided to stay in town.", "J.T.: Yeah, I canceled my flight, extended my stay at the club. Whatever it takes to be here for you.", "Reed: Why, because I'm a delinquent?", "J.T.: Because you're my son.", "[ Applause ]", "Victor: My lovely wife and i would like to thank you for gracing us with your presence and helping us celebrate this joyous occasion.", "Nick: \"Joyous.\"", "Nikki: It means so much to us to have you here with us tonight as we reaffirm our vows to each other.", "Victor: To love, to honor, and to obey, my darling.", "Nikki: Well, two out of three, at least.", "[ Laughter ]", "Lily: Yeah, but to call the cops on her boyfriend at that age? I don't think I would be as brave as mattie was.", "Cane: Of course you would. Where do you think she gets it from?", "Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, you were right about reed all along. I didn't want to see it, but if she had gotten in that car with him...", "Cane: Yeah, but she didn't because she wouldn't, because we raised two kids with good heads on their shoulders. You know, this is gonna be a good year for them.", "Lily: Yeah. I always think about the adults they'll become, and I realize i have to cherish every moment because they're gonna be out of the house soon.", "Cane: Yeah.", "Lily: You have a lot more time with sam.", "Cane: Yeah. I can tell he's gonna be a lot to handle. You know, he has a lot of heart.", "Lily: [ Chuckles ] Just like his father.", "Cane: Is it okay if, uh, we talk about him?", "Lily: Yeah, I mean, he's mattie and charlie's little brother.", "Cane: Yeah. Yeah. You know, they have a lot in common. They're special. He's even won over hilary, you know? She can't get enough of him.", "Lily: Well, I'm sorry that she's not here to ring in the new year with you. I'm sorry that jill made other arrangements.", "Cane: You don't have to be sorry. I wasn't implying that. I should be sorry.", "Lily: No, you don't have to. I mean, she's always hanging around, she's constantly gushing about how much she knows about you and your career and the baby.", "Cane: Okay, that's because she's become a friend who likes sam more than she likes me, which is great.", "Lily: Okay. Sorry. I got...a little intense.", "Cane: [ Chuckles ] Uh, just a little.", "Lily: I just -- I will never like that woman, ever.", "Cane: I know, and I don't expect you to. [ Romantic music resumes ] Okay. I kind of get the feeling that esther and jill would like us to dance, hmm? Do we dare disappoint them?", "Lily: I mean, after all the trouble they put into this... [ Chuckles ] Um, you know what, I, um... I should go.", "Cane: Unh-unh. Will you stay a little longer and ring in the new year with me? And now, nikki and victor have written their own vows.", "Victor: We have been here before. [ Light laughter ] I imagine you're wondering -- why do it again? Is victor gloating, showing off? You're right. In part. That's what I'm doing. How could I not want the world to see my strong and brilliant, beautiful bride in all her glory? But the vows are a different matter. Nikki and I have seen each other through sickness and health, through better and far worse than either of us could have imagined. For richer and, on occasion, slightly poorer. My life was only truly impoverished when you were not by my side. Because we are in the public eye, everyone thinks they know us, but they really don'T. Only you and I know what really keeps us together. And what makes us strong. And sometimes weaker. And why you are my destiny.", "Nikki: I have vowed many things to you over the years, victor -- good and bad. In honor of the holiday, in place of my vows, I offer some resolutions. I resolve to give more than I've taken. I resolve to welcome every challenge head-on. I've learned so much from you over the years, my dear husband. I resolve to show you every lesson I have learned and prove that we're truer equals now than we have ever been before. And I resolve to keep learning because love means something different to different people. To us, after all that we have survived, it should mean the very most. And now, if I may present to you all --", "Victor: Excuse me for one moment.", "Nikki: [ Sighs ] We all know victor has to have the last word.", "[ Laughter ]", "Victor: This I promise you from the bottom of my heart, that by the end of this year, your and my relationship will be stronger, happier, and we will be more in love than we are right now.", "[ Applause ]", "Hilary: But sam, he's so tiny, still. He drinks his bottle, he curls up into this tiny little ball, and then he is out like a light.", "Devon: [ Chuckles ]", "Hilary: What?", "Devon: Either sam is the greatest baby that's ever been born...", "Hilary: Possibly.", "Devon: ...Or there's something else going on here.", "Hilary: Something like...?", "Devon: It's just an observation.", "Hilary: Oh, no. No. Don't you dare imply that my biological clock is ticking too loudly.", "Devon: I would never say that.", "Hilary: Because I have a lot of time left on this clock -- a lot of time, okay? And I'm not even that woman.", "Devon: Not even what woman?", "Hilary: The baby fever kind, okay? Please, I'm not counting down the days to mommyhood.", "[ Scoffs ]", "Devon: Okay. Well, I'll tell you what, the only countdown that I care about right now is the one to midnight. That's it. Nothing else.", "Hilary: You got that right. Oh, wow. Already?", "Devon: Yeah. Life comes at you fast. Happy new year, hilary. 10...9...8...7...6... 5...4...3...2...1... happy new year!", "Lily: [ Chuckles ]", "Cane: Happy new year.", "Lily: Happy new year.", "Victor: My darling.", "Nikki: My love.", "[ Cork pops ]", "Chelsea: Well, happy birthday, and happy new year.", "Nick: I think you just love for my tool belt.", "Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]", "J.T.: There he is.", "Reed: Hi.", "Victoria: Hi, honey.", "Reed: What? No. Please. No. Okay, that's more than enough.", "Victoria: Let me see you.", "[ Laughter ]", "Victor: Well.", "Nikki: Hey. Happy new year.", "Chelsea: The ceremony was lovely.", "Victor: Mm-hmm. I wish faith had been here.", "Faith: Yes, and noah and tessa. We missed having them, but I'm sure her performance was wonderful.", "Nick: Well, I don't think this is the best example of a happy marriage to show them, you know?", "Victor: Would have been very nice if the whole family had been here, but you know something, you showed some guts coming here.", "Nick: I will suffer through anything for my mother.", "Victor: Mm.", "Nick: Happy new year.", "Nikki: Thank you, darling.", "Nick: I'm gonna go get our coats.", "Chelsea: Okay.", "Sharon: I'm gonna go and call the kids, just wish them a happy new year.", "Scott: Okay.

I just -- I just want a second to talk.", "Abby: There's nothing to say, scott.", "Scott: Just let me -- I hope 2018's good to you and that you get everything you want and deserve.", "Abby: Same to you. I mean it, I really do hope that things work out for you and sharon.", "Scott: I think they will. I hope.", "Abby: But for that to happen, this -- it has to be done. No more -- no more sniping, no more banter, just peaceful coexistence. Professional at work. Polite off the clock.", "Scott: Yeah, we go our separate ways.", "Abby: Wherever that may take us. Onward to 2018.", "Scott: Yeah. Come here." ]

It's been said.", "Victor: So you're still angry with me. I guess I should be used to that by now.", "Nikki: Used to what?", "Victor: Everyone blaming me for their problems.", "Nikki: I don't blame you for all my problems, just the ones that are your fault.", "Victor: Hmm. I wasn't talking about you. I ran into brad carlton and ashley at the athletic club dining room.", "Nikki: Oh, god, I hope you had the sense to stay away from them.", "Victor: I just went over to their table to wish them merry christmas.", "Nikki: Victor. Ashley doesn't need the complications that you bring to her life. When are you gonna understand that?", "Brad: Ash seemed fine. We had a nice meal, and then I noticed during dessert, she seemed a little out of it.", "John: What do you mean, \"out of it\"?", "Brad: She didn't even know I was there. She was off in the ozone somewhere.", "John: But then she snapped out of it, right?", "Brad: Yeah. But then newman came over to where we were sitting, and we got into it.", "John: But only verbally, right?", "Brad: Apparently, that was enough to send her over the edge.", "John: Oh, my god! I mean, he is the reason that she's suffered so much these past few months. I mean, did he think he could just waltz over there, make small talk as if nothing ever happened?", "Brad: Listen, john, I am just as angry at victor as you are, but the fact is I can't shove all the blame on him.", "John: What's that supposed to mean?", "Brad: If I hadn't let myself get sucked into an argument, maybe none of this would have happened.

Sweetheart!", "Lily: Oh, it's incredible.", "Dru: When did you do all of this?", "Neil: Well, darlin', you knew the next door condo was for sale, right?", "Dru: Yes, honey, and you bought it for us?", "Neil: No one else, my love.", "Neil: Welcome home, baby. Welcome home.", "Dru: It's beautiful. Lily.", "Neil: Come here.", "Dru: (Laughing)", "J.T.: You know, why did i let you drag me over here?", "Paul: Because you know it's for your own good. It gives you a chance to cool off.", "J.T.: Yeah, well, I'm cool, okay? All right? I'm fine.", "Paul: Who are you trying to convince, J.T.-- Me or you?", "J.T.: You know what? I'm outta here.", "Paul: And what? What are you gonna do? You gonna find kevin? Come on, kid. Sit down and think about this.", "J.T.: I'm not a kid, okay? I don't need a time-out.", "Paul: Suit yourself. But you're not going to accomplish anything by doing that, and you're definitely not gonna help colleen.", "J.T.: Yeah, well, at least I'll be doing something.", "Paul: Well, if that's what's important, then take your best shot. But listen to me. If you want results, and you wanna nail this guy, then I think you'd be well advised to listen to me.

I guess carlton and I got in some kind of an argument, so ashley heard that when she came back out again and let out this eerie scream.

I mean, how has she been the past few days?", "Brad: A little distracted, maybe.", "Olivia: Okay, nothing that set off any alarms?", "Brad: No, not at all.", "John: But apparently it happened after dinner.", "Olivia: You were at the athletic club?", "Brad: Yeah.", "Olivia: Tell me exactly what happened.", "Brad: One minute, she seemed fine, the next, she was totally spaced out. I had to say her name three or four times before she finally responded.", "Olivia: And then?", "John: Newman showed up.", "Brad: Ostensibly to wish us a happy holiday.", "Olivia: You mentioned on the phone that you and victor got into an argument.", "Brad: Yeah. Before that happened, ash left, and I don't remember why. Then things got a little nasty. Suddenly there was a scream. It was ash, and she was just standing there, staring at victor and me. That was the last time she said anything.", "Olivia: And she hasn't spoken since?", "Brad: Not a word. That's why I called you and john. I thought one of you might be able to get through to her.", "John: Let me try, brad.", "John: Ashley? Ashley, honey? My beauty? Hey, it's dad. Can you hear me? Now, ashley, you've gotta come back to us, honey. You know, you've been doing so well lately. (Voice breaking) and you're a strong girl. You're strong. We love you so much. You know that, don't you? Honey, we're trying to help you. Please, you know that. Ashley, honey.", "Brad: John, let's let liv examine ash.", "J.T.: Look, you got something to say, go ahead and say it. But it better be good, because so far, no one's been able to do jack about this guy.", "Paul: All right, well, it could be as simple as that they're going about it the wrong way.", "J.T.: Meaning what?", "Paul: Maybe what is needed here is a fresh look, somebody new on the case.", "J.T.: Like you.", "Paul: Like me.", "J.T.: Well, no offense, but the cops have already been over everything. What makes you think you're gonna have any better luck at this?", "Paul: Well, for one thing, I'm not a cop. There are things that I can do that the police can'T. They're bound by very strict rules and regulations as far as gathering evidence goes, things like that.", "J.T.: Oh, so because you're a P.I., You can bend the rules like no one else.", "Paul: J.T., Let's just say that, um... I have different rules.", "J.T.: Okay. But you gotta know something about this guy. This kevin is a sick, clever bastard. And the way he's covered his tracks in this thing-- I don't know what to do.", "Paul: Well, who's to say there isn't more evidence out there--evidence that has been overlooked?", "J.T.: You really think that you can nail this guy?", "Paul: You said yourself the guy is smart. He is also very cocky. That means he's gonna slip up.", "J.T.: You think?", "Paul: He's gonna become overconfident. He's gonna think he's god, and when he does that, I will nail him. It has happened a thousand times before with the same result. So what do you say? You want me to take a shot?", "Nikki: Look, I really don't wanna talk about ashley. That whole situation is very upsetting to me.", "Victor: You talk to nicholas?", "Nikki: Yes. I don't wanna get into it.", "Victor: Where'd you talk to him--in my office, running my company?", "Nikki: Is that upsetting to you, after everything that's happened?", "Victor: What do you think? I found the arrogance on his part as very presumptuous.", "Nikki: Well, as nicholas said, who else would be as qualified?", "Victor: I was thinking of talking to victoria again.", "Nikki: Victor, you can't talk to victoria. She's gone. She's left town. I don't know when we're gonna see her again.", "Victor: What do you mean, she's left town? Why didn't you tell me?", "Nikki: Everything's been so chaotic, I haven't had a chance to tell you. We're not even a family anymore, victor. Christmas eve was awful, filled with tension.", "Victor: I'm sorry about that.", "Victor: I'll go and try to find victoria.", "Nikki: No. No, you're not. She doesn't want to be found. She doesn't want to be part of this family right now. She's asked for time alone to heal. We have to give her that.", "Victor: If I wanna find my daughter, I'll find my daughter.", "Nikki: Yeah, I know you will.", "Dru: Oh, honey, honey, you outdid yourself with our bedroom. That means you were dealing with architects and contractors, and you must have gotten yourself an incredible crew up in through here.", "Neil: Oh, yeah, the minute we left town.", "Dru: And then you expanded the space here, hired an interior decorator. Honey, you were on point.", "Neil: Did a hell of a job.", "Dru: Yes, indeed.", "Lily: Man, this is unreal. Look at all this room.", "Dru: Sweetheart, this is the most amazing gift ever, I got to tell you. This is like, what, a wedding gift, a christmas gift, a coming home gift, all wrapped up in one?", "Neil: A new home to start our new life as a family together.", "Dru: Oh, sweetie.", "Lily: Whoa, you guys, we have 19 messages.", "Dru: Oh, honey, who cares about the messages? We'll check the messages later. Right now, we're concentrating on us.", "Neil: Amen.", "Lily: You guys do realize what day it is tomorrow?", "Neil: It's new year's eve. A day to celebrate where we've been and where we're going.", "Lily: You know, I want to go to church on january 1st, say thanks for all the good things that have happened.", "Dru: That's my baby.", "Lily: Yeah, my mom and dad are back together again, forever this time.", "Neil: Mm-hmm.", "Lily: We had a great vacation in japan.", "Neil: The beginning of a whole new chapter in your life, lily.", "Lily: Yeah. I really do believe that, dad. I do. I mean, things will be okay. I'm a lot stronger now. And whatever I have to do to help the police keep kevin from hurting anyone else... just know that I'll do it.", "Neil: Good girl.", "Lily: I want to make you guys proud of me.", "Neil: That's my girl.", "Dru: Honey, we are so proud of you. Not only are you beautiful and intelligent, but, sweetheart, you are courageous. And I know that you are going to handle whatever life deals you.", "Neil: Hey, um, I don't know if it's jet lag or what, but you know something? I'm starving. I could eat a horse.", "Dru: Nothing in the refrigerator, I can tell you that.", "Lily: Ooh, let's get takeout.", "Dru: Okay, did I say intelligent? I meant brilliant.", "Neil: I vote for pizza.", "Lily: Ooh, extra pepperoni.", "Dru: Ribs for me, extra sauce.", "Lily: Mom. (Doorbell rings)", "Dru: Yes. Right here.", "Neil: Hold on. Let me see who that is.", "Lily: They don't have ribs.", "Dru: \"Ribs, extra sauce.\" Right there.", "Lily: Okay. Okay.", "Neil: Just a minute. Yeah.", "Kevin: Hello, mr. Winters.", "Dru: You want a salad?", "Lily: A caesar.", "J.T.: Look, I don't know how much more I can tell you. I've been over this, like, a million times in my head.", "Paul: No, no, you're doing fine. I'm getting a really good profile of this guy.", "J.T.: Good.", "Paul: All right, a couple of more questions.", "J.T.: Yeah, shoot.", "Paul: You said that lily didn't realize how old kevin really was.", "J.T.: No, not at first. She thought she was talking to some kid in a teen chat room.", "Paul: And you're sure it had to be kevin that gave lily the sexually transmitted disease?", "J.T.: Yeah, it has to be. Lily's never been with anybody else, before or after.", "Paul: All right. Can you tell me why you're so convinced that it had to be kevin that grabbed colleen and put her in the-- the walk-in cooler and started the fire at gina's?", "J.T.: This guy likes messing around with young girls, you know, 'cause it makes him feel like the big man, the guy in control. He doesn't like to be crossed.", "Paul: And colleen crossed him, right?", "J.T.: Yeah. Yeah, a lot of times, but especially that day.", "Paul: Okay, tell me what happened.", "J.T.: Well, colleen and her friend sierra, they thought that lily was getting in way over her head. And that day, lily skipped school, and they were pretty sure it was to hang out with kevin.", "Paul: Uh-huh.", "J.T.: So they went over to lily's parent.", "Paul: Good for them.", "J.T.: Yeah, but what happened was neil winters went ballistic. He found out from colleen where kevin lived. He tore over there and threatened fisher with jail if he ever went anywhere near his daughter ever again.", "Paul: So kevin figured out that it had to be colleen.", "J.T.: Yeah, that ratted him out, right.", "Paul: That it?", "J.T.: No, not quite. Then there's the fire at gina'S. That afternoon, colleen got a phone call from someone at her granddad's office, saying that her granddad wanted to meet her at gina's before the gala. And as I was watching that fire burn, totally freaked out, 'cause I thought... I thought colleen might be inside, her granddad said that he knew nothing about the phone call.", "Paul: So it was a setup.", "J.T.: It has to be. That's what I figure.", "Paul: That's a good job, putting all this together. The pieces fit.", "J.T.: Yeah, well, how do you nail him?", "Paul: Well... that's our next step. \"the young and the restless\" will continue. óóe{{{{çv v v v v v v v b b the way I talk", "Victor: What kind of fish was it, huh?

That show's been sold out for months.", "Victor: Yeah, but you know that wouldn't stop me.", "Ashley: Oh, silly me. Of course. Did you know that your daddy is a magician?", "Victor: Do you know what \"animals on ice\" is all about? No? It's a huge indoor ice rink, and instead of people skating on the ice, you have animals skating on it. Bears and tigers and elephants skating on ice.", "Abby: Elephants can't skate.

You know it's supposed to snow tomorrow? You don't? Well, if it does, it's gonna be cold. And then mommy and you and i will build a big snowman. How's that? And then because it is cold, we'll go inside later on, and we'll build a fire. Then we'll roast some marshmallows.", "Abby: I would love that, daddy.", "Victor: Would you? Yeah.", "Ashley: I think our daughter loves you to pieces.", "Victor: Sometimes I don't know how I've survived without you and abby for so long.", "Olivia: Well, all her vital signs appear normal.", "John: Thank god.", "Brad: Maybe with a little rest, she'll come out of it.", "Olivia: A little rest? She needs more than that, brad. We have to get her to the hospital.", "Brad: No. Absolutely not. No more hospitals.", "Sharon: Victor. Oh, gosh, I know it's late. Are you here all by yourself?", "Victor: No, nikki's upstairs. What's on your mind?", "Sharon: You seem a little upset.", "Victor: Yeah. I just had some rather bad news.", "Sharon: Well, maybe this isn't such a good time.", "Victor: No, please stay. You and I haven't talked for awhile.", "Sharon: No, not since christmas.", "Victor: That's right.", "Sharon: You know, I'm really glad that you decided to come home. It would have been pretty awful without you.", "Victor: Things went better than I expected. Although, I don't want to think of what might happen in the future. I don't want to dwell on that.", "Sharon: Victor, I'm so sorry.", "Victor: Do you mind staying for awhile so we can talk? I just need to get my mind off things. I need some diversion.", "Sharon: Okay. Well, actually, I happen to have one.", "J.T.: \"Our\" next step?", "Paul: You've got a handle on this case. How would you like to help me out?", "J.T.: Are you serious?", "Paul: I could use another set of eyes and ears. I could take you under my wing, you can work as my apprentice, and you can learn something about criminal investigation.", "J.T.: I... this is unbelievable.", "Paul: So I take that as a yes?", "J.T.: Yeah, you can take that as a yes. This is great.", "Paul: Okay, fine, under one condition. I am the boss. You do what I say. Under no circumstances do you go off half-cocked and lose control.", "J.T.: Okay.", "Paul: Is that clear?", "J.T.: Yeah, yeah, it's clear.

You were gone awhile.", "J.T.: Yeah, that's why I gave you my key. I wasn't sure how long I'd be. So, uh, what'd you do without me?", "Colleen: Gosh, I, uh, raided the fridge, I went through your drawers. Found a couple of things.", "J.T.: You did not.", "Colleen: How do you know?", "J.T.: All right, did you find anything interesting?", "Colleen: Yeah, actually, I-I found your stash of--", "J.T.: Y-you know, uh, I'm--I'm gonna get rid of those.

So can I count you in?", "Victor: You know, as bleak as things have been, I'd rather not put a damper on anyone's evening. Thanks for asking, but... I think I'll stay home. Maybe nikki feels differently.", "Sharon: Well, I'm sorry, but that's just not acceptable. Because I really want you to be there. In fact, I insist.", "Olivia: Brad, I really believe that we should take her--", "Brad: No. No, liv. My wife is not going back to the hospital.", "Olivia: But her symptoms have recurred.", "Brad: It could just be a minor setback.", "Olivia: If we take the conservative approach and treat her at the hospital, we'll best be able to respond to her situation.", "Brad: At the hospital, she's isolated from me. She's isolated from her daughter. It's a cold, sterile environment. I can't believe that's the best thing for ash. Liv, she needs her family around her. She needs to be surrounded by love, and not just when I come visit her, all the time, day and night.", "John: Now, olivia, brad makes a very, very good point.", "Brad: Listen, I believe in my heart that with your help we can deal with this right here at home, and that's the best thing for ash.", "Olivia: I gotta say, it's against my better judgment.", "Brad: Well, so be it. But I refuse to rush to the hospital every time ash has a problem. Doctors start poking her and prodding her and testing her-- that's no way to live.", "Olivia: And what if she doesn't make any progress at home?", "Brad: Then I'll reconsider. In the meantime, ash stays home, surrounded by the people she loves and who love her. That's the best medicine.", "Colleen: You, a private eye? Come on.", "J.T.: No, I'm being serious. Paul offered me a job. He wants me to be his apprentice.", "Colleen: Wow. That is amazing.", "J.T.: I was telling him why I was so convinced that kevin was the guy who started this fire, you know, how all the pieces fell together, and he just offered me a job, just like that.", "Colleen: My boyfriend, a private eye. Do you get to wear a badge or one those trench coats?", "J.T.: No. No badge. No trench coat.", "Colleen: Oh, but all the best private eyes wear trench coats.", "J.T.: In the movies.", "Colleen: Fine, fine, take all the fun out of it. But tell me you get to wear disguises.", "J.T.: Well, paul seems pretty low-key. I don't think he's into all that crazy stuff.", "Colleen: Well, he better not do anything crazy, because he has my boyfriend working for him now. So what's your first case?", "J.T.: What do you think? Kevin. We're gonna nail him, colleen.", "Colleen: You have to be careful. You know how dangerous he is.", "J.T.: No, we're brining him down. And that's what's so cool, is paul is completely in synch with this. Now we got a professional working on our side. He's not gonna let me do anything stupid.", "Colleen: Yeah, I know that, but kevin...", "J.T.: Yeah, I know. I know. But don't worry, I'll be careful.", "Colleen: Well, you better be careful. I'd kill you if you let anything happen to you, mr. Private investigator.", "Kevin: I know you're both mad at me, and I really can't blame you. And this whole thing was really just a big, mixed up mistake. But I want you to know how sorry I am for all of the misunderstanding and the miscommunication and confusion.", "Dru: There's nobody confused except you, dizzy boy. We know what you did with our daughter.", "Neil: Drucilla...", "Dru: You--", "Neil: Get in there. Stop it.", "Neil: You must think it's funny, coming to our house, playing these sick games. Well, let me tell you something, son, playtime is over, 'cause you're going to jail.", "Dru: Jail.", "Kevin: You shouldn't get so worked up. It's really nohealthy to be so stressed out.", "Lily: Oh, yeah, like you care!", "Kevin: I do care, lily. I really wish we could put all this nastiness behind us.", "Dru: You know, I'm calling the police on your behind.", "Kevin: What for?", "Neil: What you think for, man? Because you're violating the restraining order.", "Kevin: Actually, I'm not. It's been lifted.", "Olivia: If you feel that strongly about it, I won't fight you.", "Brad: Thanks, liv. I appreciate it.", "Olivia: I gotta get back to the hospital.", "John: Bradley, I should be going to, unless you want me to stay.", "Brad: No, john, that's okay. There's nothing you can do right now.", "John: I'll see you soon, my sweetheart.", "John: God, I can't stand to see her like this again.", "Brad: Hey, listen, she's going to come out of this. I know she is.", "Olivia: Brad, I want you to call me if you need anything or if there's any change.", "Brad: I will.", "Olivia: I can be here in ten minutes.", "Brad: Thanks, liv.", "John: I'll see you out.", "Olivia: Come on.", "Brad: Ash, it's me. It's brad. I know you can't talk right now, but I believe you can hear me, and I need you to listen. This is important.", "Victor: You seem very determined.", "Sharon: Yes, I am.", "Victor: I'm glad to hear that you feel like socializing and having some fun. It'S... you deserve it.", "Sharon: Well, everyone in this family deserves it. And I just think that we should enjoy the holiday. You know, we should relax and try to put everything that's happened aside for a few days.", "Victor: If only that were possible.", "Sharon: Well, of course it is.", "Victor: You know that if I show up at the party, there's gonna be tension. So why don't the rest of you go and just have some fun, you know?", "Sharon: Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not taking no for an answer, okay? I really want you to be at this party.", "Victor: Why are you so insistent?", "Sharon: Well, for one, look, cameron kirsten and newman enterprises are doing business together.", "Victor: Hmm.", "Sharon: But the main reason was I just felt really good about christmas, and I thought that that was a real turning point for us.", "Victor: Mm-hmm.", "Sharon: I think that it is so important that we try to build on that. The family needs to be together for new year'S. We need to be around other people. We need to find some positive things for this family to build on, and I think it would do everyone some good, especially you. Now I'm not expecting any miracles, but we have to at least try. Isn't there some way that you and nikki can just... put your troubles behind you, just for one evening?", "Victor: I don't know if that's possible, sharon.", "Sharon: Well, it is possible, okay? I know it's possible. Please say that you will come to this party. Just at least make an appearance. You have no idea how much this means to me.", "Victor: You mean, nikki and I and... you and my son. I don't know.", "Sharon: Please. Victor, please, don't say no.", "Brad: I'm so terribly sorry, ash. I let things get out of control.", "Brad: You know that I would never do anything deliberately to hurt you or upset you. You're my whole life-- you, abby and colleen. You were doing so much better. I-I guess for a moment, I forgot how fragile you still are. Can you ever forgive me?", "Brad: You know how much I love you, don't you? All I've ever wanted to do is protect you and keep you safe. Instead, I've caused you to withdraw again.", "Brad: Ash... I need you to come back to me. Try. Try hard. We can do this together. I'll be right by your side. I need you.", "Brad: Abby needs her mommy, so please try, ash. Come back to us.", "J.T.: So when you were snooping around my kitchen, did you happen to find any popcorn?", "Colleen: Yeah, a couple of bags. Why?", "J.T.: Well, I was thinking maybe we could make some, watch a movie, I don't know, cuddle on the couch a little bit.", "Colleen: You want to stay in and watch a movie and cuddle on the couch? You are full of surprises today, aren't you?", "J.T.: Yeah, that's me, mr. Full-of-surprises.", "Kevin: Go ahead and call if you'd like to confirm. I'm surprised the detective didn't tell you.", "Neil: No, the police didn't call. I don't underst-- what's going on here?", "Kevin: See what I mean? More confusion, miscommunication.", "Dru: Liar.", "Lily: Why would they lift the restraining order?", "Kevin: Simple, no evidence.", "Neil: What?", "Kevin: They tested my blood. It came back negative. I don't have chlamydia or any other diseases.", "Neil: Lily... (snaps fingers) get in the living room now.", "Kevin: I... of course, I knew that, but now there's proof. Or I should say no proof that I was ever with your daughter. It wasn't me. It was all just a big mistake. So no more restraining order. Anyway, that's why I'm here, to say that I don't have any hard feelings. So what do you say, mr. Winters?", "Neil: I don't know how you pulled this off, but I'm gon' get to the bottom of it, and when I do, you're goin' down, do you hear me?", "Dru: Honey, don't get your hands dirty. Don't get your hands dirty.", "Kevin: Thank you, mrs. Winters. I...", "Dru: Hush. Okay? Just hush. Now I know you think you won... well, let me tell you something, we just begun to rumble.", "Lily: Oh, my god.", "[NEXT_ON]", "\"the young and the restless\"...", "Kevin: Man, it's fun being smart. I fight back. What? What's that? You call that contempt?", "Cameron: It's a small motel on the south side of town. I want you to meet me there after the party." ]

[ "When Phyllis stopped by to visit Jack, he surprised her with a massage and an invite to spend New Year's Eve together, which she accepted. Malcolm demanded Neil back off and leave him alone. Lily promised Neil she'd try to win Malcolm over. Malcolm took photos of Lily, but got weirded out when she asked if she reminded him of Dru. She ran off when it was obvious she'd upset him. Olivia warned Dru that Malcolm wanted a paternity test done, and suggested they get it over with. Dru told her to send away for a kit. Malcolm told Dru that he definitely wanted the test, now. JT told Mac that Kevin could not be trusted, ever. Kevin refused to open up to Mac about what had happened with Colleen. Mac was disappointed, but still agreed to meet him later at the coffeehouse. Victor asked Nick to be there for Nikki, as he'd done something that was likely to upset her. Bobby confronted Nikki with his knowledge of her involvement in Joshua's death. He wasn't able to forgive her and went off to be alone. Nikki later blasted Victor for betraying her, while Bobby took comfort in Brittany's arms after listening to her sing a love ballad." ]

[ "Malcolm: Neil... I don't know where I fit in anymore. Look, I been some places and I've seen some things. They changed me, man. Now I don't know how and I really don't know how much, but that's what I came back here to find out. But I'd appreciate it if you let me do it my own way.", "Neil: Hey. Hey, wait a minute.", "Malcolm: Get off of me!", "Neil: Are you kidding me? We're family here. You're supposed to be able to talk to me. How can you shut me out like that?", "Malcolm: I got nothing to say to y-- let it go.", "Neil: What is your problem?", "Malcolm: My problem is you puttin' your hands on me like that.", "Neil: Yeah, there you go, walkin' away again.", "Malcolm: I'm not walkin' away from anything, believe me. I don't like feelin' like I'm on somebody's witness stand. Neil, it's my life. How I live it is my choice. I don't owe you an explanation.", "Neil: You know, I... I get that you gone through hell in Africa you're gonna tell me about that, but while you were over there I was right here, thinking you were dead, drowning my sorrows in a bottle of alcohol. That was rough, man.", "Malcolm: Looks like you pulled through all right.", "Neil: I pulled through because I had help.", "Malcolm: Well, Neil, the love of a good woman and a beautiful daughter will do that for you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: I guess it's true. I didn't believe it when they told me, but here you are.", "Jack: Wow. What a nice surprise.", "Phyllis: I thought you weren't allowed to work here at Jabot anymore.", "Jack: Well, I'm working for Chancellor Industries.", "Phyllis: Here?", "Jack: Yeah, they're doing a big renovation job on my office over there, and I needed the quietest place I could find, and, well, as long as I'm not doing Jabot work, I'm not breaking any of the rules.", "Phyllis: So it's official. You're the new C.E.O. of Katherine's company.", "Jack: We're sending out a press release after New Year's.", "Phyllis: That's great. Congratulations. No more playboy Jack.", "Jack: Well, you know, the life of leisure isn't all it's cracked up to be. Though I did have my fun.", "Phyllis: Yeah, I bet. You know, all good things-- you know what they say. All good things...", "Jack: Yeah.", "Phyllis: Ah, well, I just, you know, wanted to say hi. But I can see you're busy, so, um, I'll get out of your hair.", "Jack: W-wait, Phyllis. Um, you don't have to leave.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "J.T.: Hey, Mac, what's up?", "Mac: Not much.", "J.T.: You just missed Brittany.", "Mac: So?", "Brittany: She stopped by to take a shower.", "Mac: Let me guess. The Newman ranch has hard water.", "J.T.: No. She, uh, she was going straight from the boutique to the club. She didn't want to waste time driving home.", "Mac: Are you sure she didn't just make up an excuse to come see you?", "J.T.: What are you talkin' about?", "Mac: Colleen's back in town and Brittany suddenly finds a reason to get naked in your vicinity.", "J.T.: Yeah, right. Behind a locked bathroom door.", "Mac: Still, it must be exciting, having two girls chasing after you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: You know, Malcolm, Lily's my heart. She's a Godsend. She's really something else, isn't she?", "Malcolm: You're a lucky man.", "Neil: Don't you think I know that?", "Malcolm: Just don't ever take it for granted, Neil.", "Neil: You know, the way you say that, it's almost as if you're bitter. I mean, does it bug you that much, my happiness that I've got something that you don't?", "Malcolm: We're not having this conversation.", "Neil: Where you runnin' to, man? See, I'm tryin' hard to figure you out. All this hostility and resentment, does it date way back to when we were kids, I was the overachiever you were the jock?", "Malcolm: Neil, you've always gotten what you wanted. We both know you were the golden child. Your life has gone exactly the way you planned it. Like you said, you went to the big college, and now look at you. You're the hotshot exec in the corporate world. Good for you.", "Neil: And did that cost you something? Malcolm, all along, ever since day one, I was never tryin' to hurt you. I was doin' my thing, just tryin' to achieve my goals.", "Malcolm: Yeah. And now I'm doing my thing. Only I'm not doing it the way you think I oughta be. Neil, I don't need your advice. You don't have to act like you gotta call the shots for me, all right? You do you and I'll do me.", "Neil: I don't need to call the shots.", "Malcolm: Good. Don't. Now I got work to do.", "Lily: Hey. Hi, Daddy.", "Neil: Hey, Lily. I didn't realize you were here.", "Lily: Yeah. I'm just getting some coffee. Um, why were you and Uncle Malcolm arguing?", "Neil: Oh, um... I don't know, sweetheart. Uh, it's a tough situation, you know? How do we convince him that we love him?", "Lily: Yeah. You know, I'll talk to him, okay?", "Neil: You're a good girl. I love you, baby.", "Lily: I love you, too.", "Neil: Okay. I'll see you later.", "Lily: Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dru: Uh-oh. Um, Liv, I don't like that look on your face.", "Olivia: We need to talk about Malcolm.", "Dru: What about Malcolm?", "Olivia: I was talking to him earlier today, and, um, he's making some plans that you should be prepared for.", "Dru: Making some plans I should be prep-- oh, now wait a minute. Wait a minute, Liv. Do not tell me--", "Olivia: I'm sorry, Dru.", "Dru: Do not tell me that he's gonna run a paternity test on Lily. That cannot happen! We gotta stop him! Hell, no!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: Trev, I'm putting these here.", "Nick: Hey, Dad. What are you doing here?", "Victor: I came to ask you a favor.", "Nick: Sure.

I'm gonna go upstairs.", "Bobby: No, no, no, you're not goin' anywhere.", "Nikki: I beg your pardon?", "Bobby: You and me are gonna have a talk. I know.", "Nikki: You know?", "Bobby: That's right. I know what happened to my brother.", "Nikki: What do you mean?", "Bobby: Victor told me the whole story.", "Nikki: Oh, my God. I-I can't talk about this right now.", "Bobby: Nikki, you're not walkin' away from this this time.", "Nikki: Do you hate me?", "Bobby: You know, all my life, I have held on to the belief that my brother was still out there alive. And that one day I'd find him, we'd be reunited. After my parents died, that hope was what held me together. And now that's gone. My brother's dead and my life just broke into a million pieces.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "J.T.: Trust me, Mac, Brittany isn't chasing after me.", "Mac: What about Colleen?", "J.T.: I told you, she's probably heading back to New York soon.", "Mac: Is that gonna be hard for you?", "J.T.: Nah. I'll have you to keep me busy. I owe you that date, remember?", "Mac: Yeah. That's really nice of you.", "J.T.: Well, what can I say? I'm a nice guy.", "Mac: Since when?", "J.T.: Since when? Since--I'm always a nice guy... especially compared to Kevin Fisher. Mac, please tell me there's nothing goin' on between you guys.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: Hey.", "Malcolm: Hey.", "Lily: I was wishing you'd be here.", "Malcolm: Well, it looks like your wish came true.", "Lily: Well, should I test my luck and make another?", "Malcolm: Well, that all depends on what you're gonna wish for.", "Lily: Um, I think you have some idea.", "Malcolm: Lily, sweetheart--", "Lily: Wait. What were you and my dad arguing about? And please do not tell me nothing.", "Malcolm: Lily, it wasn't really an argument.", "Lily: Says you.", "Malcolm: Look, it was just more like a difference of opinion, that's all.", "Lily: Okay. Well, anyway, I came here hoping that you could help me out with something. So will you?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Olivia: Drucilla, to be honest, I don't know if we can stop him.", "Dru: He is living with you. Clearly, you have some level of influence over this man.", "Olivia: Not on this subject.", "Dru: Yes! Yes, you do. Make him understand that this is a bad idea. He shouldn't pursue it.", "Olivia: I tried to reason with him.", "Dru: Reason with him more.", "Olivia: Honey, he's adamant. He wants a paternity test.", "Dru: A paternity test. You know full well, in order to get a paternity test, everyone has to give their permission, and if that's the case, Neil's gonna find out!", "Olivia: Not necessarily. I mean, there's a way that you could get Lily's saliva sample, and Malcolm would give you his. They have these kits online. You could send away to a lab and the whole thing would be anonymous.", "Dru: Kits, anonymous-- I don't care about any of it. He cannot just waltz into Genoa City and try to ruin my family. It's not gonna happen! Do you understand me?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: Um, really? You just seem very busy.", "Jack: Well, since when am I too busy for you?", "Phyllis: Oh, I could think of a couple of times, actually.", "Jack: Okay, well, this isn't one of 'em.", "Phyllis: (Laughs)", "Jack: You tracked me down for a reason. Stay. How you doin'? I mean, are things startin' to look up a little?", "Phyllis: Uh, nope, nope. But it's okay because I, um, I'm just, uh, hoping that Michael Baldwin will do everything he can to get me outta this.", "Jack: Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. And maybe when the whole thing's over, I can take you out to dinner to celebrate.", "Phyllis: You might be lookin' at 10 to 20.", "Jack: Nice to see you haven't lost your sense of humor.", "Phyllis: Oh, no. It's the only thing that keeps me going. That and Daniel.", "Jack: How's Daniel holdin' up?", "Phyllis: Uh, he's okay. I mean, he's-- he's been very supportive, and, you know, he's a sensitive kid, right? But, you know, the thing that worries me is sometimes he acts more like the parent than--than a teenager so...", "Jack: That's what you need right now, hon.", "Phyllis: Yeah. I just don't want to burden him with that.", "Jack: I, for one, think it's great that he's stepping up to the plate.", "Phyllis: Yeah.", "Jack: It shows what a great kid he really is.", "Phyllis: He is. He's--he's a great kid. He's really great. Listen, um, I-I have to tell you, I-I couldn't stop thinking of something all Christmas.", "Jack: Oh? What was that?", "Phyllis: You. Yeah, you. I mean, it would've been our-- our anniversary Christmas Eve, remember?", "Phyllis: Upward and onward.", "Jack: I thought a lot about you, too.", "Phyllis: So there is a reason I came by. I have a-- a little something for you.", "Jack: Oh, no, no.", "Phyllis: It's just silly.", "Jack: I--", "Phyllis: It's silly. It's--its fun.", "Jack: You shouldn't have done this.", "Phyllis: It's a lot of paper. (Laughs)", "Jack: \"Boss man\"?", "Phyllis: Yes. Look at the bottom.", "Jack: \"C.E.O.\"", "Phyllis: C.E.O.

I do have something for you. Something that will do just the trick. Or something, at least, that used to do the trick. How about this?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: So what's goin' on with Mom?", "Victor: Would you mind-- you and Sharon and the kids-- mind going over there and being with your mother for awhile?", "Nick: No problem. Why?", "Victor: Let's just say I did something that's gonna upset her a great deal. But I did it because I thought it was in her best interests.", "Nick: You're really worried.", "Victor: Yeah, I'm worried. Your mother has been very, very, very upset about something, and, um, I wanted this to come to a head, you know? So, um, I'd appreciate it if you'd go over and be with her for awhile.", "Nick: Done.", "Victor: All right.", "Nick: Is that all you're gonna tell me?", "Victor: Yeah. Let her tell you the rest, okay?", "Nick: All right.", "Victor: Appreciate it, my boy.", "Nick: Sure.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Oh, Bobby, if there was something I could do, I would do it.", "Bobby: You can't throw money at me to make things better.", "Nikki: Oh, that's not what I meant.", "Bobby: But that's what you did. No amount of money could bring my brother back.", "Nikki: I wish I had never remembered.", "Bobby: So do I.", "Nikki: This has been so hard on me. It's--it's something I have repressed my whole life.", "Nikki: I loved your brother. He was so sweet... kind and gentle.", "Nikki: All the other kids were terrified of my father. They couldn't wait to leave my birthday party, but not your brother. He wasn't afraid of anything. He was my best friend.", "Bobby: You know, you claimed you couldn't remember any of this. What changed that?", "Nikki: Something triggered my memory.", "Bobby: Do you remember what it was? Look... if Josh is dead... well, they never found a body. That's what I been holdin' onto all these years.", "Nikki: I honestly didn't know what happened afterwards. My father never told me what he did with his body.", "Bobby: You said \"didn't know.\" Does that mean you know now?", "Nikki: Yeah. I know where your brother's remains are.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Mac: Kevin and I are just friends.", "J.T.: Does he know that?", "Mac: Meaning what?", "J.T.: Meaning he's talked to me a couple of times about you. I think he has a crush on you or something.", "Mac: I picked up on that.", "J.T.: How can you be so calm about this? Mac, do you realize what he's done?", "Mac: Yes, J.T., I do. Kevin told me that he's done some terrible things. He hasn't hidden anything from me.", "J.T.: Then why are you still talking to the guy?", "Mac: Because he's trying to turn his life around, but nobody will give him a chance.", "J.T.: Because he doesn't deserve a chance, Mac. He doesn't deserve one.", "Mac: Well, he needs friends, and he's been nothing but sweet to me.", "J.T.: Oh, yeah, well, that's all an act, trust me. It's an act. Watch out.", "Mac: I'm not even involved with the guy, so stop worrying.", "J.T.: Listen to me... Kevin Fisher is a really, really messed up guy. If I had my way... just--just promise me you'll be careful, all right?", "Mac: Yeah, I'll be careful.", "J.T.: I'm serious about this. I don't want anything to happen to you.", "Mac: Okay, I promise.", "J.T.: All right. Good. I gotta go start on this party stuff, all right? I'll see you later.", "Mac: Okay.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Olivia: Okay, try and calm down.", "Dru: How can I calm down when Lily may be Malcolm's child? Have you even thought about the implications?", "Olivia: Of course I have.", "Dru: Does that not worry you?", "Olivia: Okay, first of all, you can't assume that Malcolm's trying to blow your family apart.", "Dru: Then why is he so desperate to find out the truth?", "Olivia: He knows how close Neil and Lily are. I can't believe that he would do something so cruel. There's another way of looking at this.", "Dru: Tell me.", "Olivia: If Malcolm turns out not to be the father, then a huge source of worry is gone for all of us. This could turn out to be a good thing after all.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: I brought the camera I got for Christmas.", "Malcolm: Oh, yeah?", "Lily: Yeah.", "Malcolm: That's a nice one.", "Lily: Will you take some pictures of me? Here, come on. Let's take 'em right here where we won't attract a lot of attention. Come on.", "Malcolm: Little lady, does anybody tell you no?", "Lily: Um, no.", "Malcolm: Oh, lord.", "Lily: Okay, what do I do?", "Malcolm: The things I get dragged into.", "Lily: Oh, you love it. I can tell. Okay, wait. How is this for starters?", "Malcolm: (Laughs) all right. Now let's just loosen it up and keep it simple, all right?", "Lily: Okay.", "Malcolm: My models back then, they just would just throw their head back, just kinda flirty, cutesy poses, right?", "Lily: Throw my head back.", "Malcolm: Now just relax. Throw your head back, okay?", "Lily: Okay.", "Malcolm: And just a little smile. Ready? There she is. Okay. All right.", "Lily: Yeah?", "Malcolm: All right, um, let's try the model 101 pose. You know what I'm talkin' about? Back to me, throw your head over your shoulder.", "Lily: Okay.", "Malcolm: Okay? There you go. Pearly whites. Do it again, on three. On three. Turn around, turn around. Hurry up. One, two, three. Go. There she is.", "Lily: (Giggles)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Knock on door)", "Kevin: Hey, Mac.", "Mac: Kevin, I was just thinking about you.", "Kevin: Really?", "Mac: Yeah. Come in.", "Kevin: Thanks.", "Mac: I'm surprised to see you here. Um, how'd you know where I live?", "Kevin: Oh, I, uh, I've been here before to, uh, to talk to J.T.", "Mac: Oh, why? You don't get along.", "Kevin: I was trying to change that. Obviously it didn't work.", "Mac: No kidding.", "Kevin: So normally I wouldn't risk running into him, but I wasn't really happy with the way we left things earlier.", "Mac: Whose fault was that?", "Kevin: Come on, Mac. Be honest. Isn't there anything about your life you'd rather not advertise to the rest of the world?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: During an excavation at the Rec center... a child's skeleton was found.", "Bobby: Joshua's?", "Nikki: Yes.", "Bobby: The story you told me weeks ago about the little boy and you and the gun goin' off, that was about my brother.", "Nikki: But I didn't know that we were talking about the same little boy until later.", "Bobby: But you never mentioned it.", "Nikki: But I had to be absolutely sure. I was wrong before, and I didn't want to make that mistake again.", "Bobby: So my brother goes to a birthday party-- your birthday party-- and I never see him again.", "Bobby: I never even said good-bye to him. I think that's why I convinced myself that he couldn't really be gone. 'Cause if I didn't say good-bye to him...", "Nikki: I am so, so sorry. Bobby, I'm praying that you'll forgive me. Please.", "Bobby: What do you want me to say to you? You know what this is doin' to me?", "Nikki: Yes. Yes, I do. That's why I begged Victor to not tell you.", "Bobby: Victor thought he was doin' the right thing. Nikki, you shouldn't have kept this from me. You shoulda told me as soon as you figured this out. He's my brother. I had every right to know.", "Nikki: I know, I know. You're right. What can I do now to make things better?", "Bobby: There's nothing you can do.", "Nikki: Please let me help you. Bobby--", "Bobby: Just don't. Don't. I need to be alone right now.", "Nikki: Bobby.", "Nikki: Damn you, Victor!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Mac: There are plenty of things in my past I'd rather keep private.", "Kevin: I knew you would understand. Sometimes things happen, and you wish you could erase them but you can't. They stay with you forever.", "Mac: I'm not sure if I do understand. Yes, there are parts of my life that are nobody else's business, but a ton of people don't hate me.", "Kevin: Please, Mac. Please don't listen to them.", "Mac: Are you afraid if I know the truth that I won't like you anymore?", "Kevin: Well, most people wouldn't.", "Mac: You really don't give me that much credit, do you?", "Kevin: What do you mean?", "Mac: Well, you think if I hear a bunch of bad things about you that I'm gonna bail and never talk to you again?", "Kevin: That's what most people would do.", "Mac: Well, I'm not most people.", "Kevin: You sure aren't.", "Mac: So will you tell me what you actually did? I want to hear your side of the story. And then I will make up my own mind.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Dru: See, it's easy for you, easy for you to say that, because it's not your daughter and not your husband who stand to be devastated by all this.", "Olivia: I don't want to see Neil and Lily get hurt any more than you do.", "Dru: Then do something. Talk to him, tell him to abandon this cockamamy idea of his. Liv, please.", "Olivia: I told you I talked to him already, that he's determined to get answers. Now you can fight it and drive yourself crazy, but the bottom line is he feels he needs the truth.", "Dru: The truth? After umpteen years, he needs the truth? I'll tell you why he wants it. He's--he's just mad at me 'cause I told him to beat it, get outta town!", "Olivia: I don't think this is about you.", "Dru: Listen, just get me the web site, okay? I need to see those D.N.A. kits or whatever those things are.", "Olivia: I think that's the best decision, Dru, believe me.", "Dru: I'm not making any promises, okay? Just get me the stuff because I need the information, and that is all!", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: Um, do I remind you of my mom?", "Malcolm: What?", "Lily: Well, you used to shoot her, didn't you? You know, when you worked as a fashion photographer?", "Malcolm: Why are you asking that, Lily?", "Lily: I don't know. Just curious. But I'm pretty sure that you did 'cause I remember when I was really little and Mom and I were living in Paris and, you know, she was modeling and stuff, you came over and spent a lot of time with her. That was 'cause you were doing that shoot with her, right? I swear, it's such a cool job. And it would be really great if you went back to it because everyone was saying what an amazing photographer you were before. And I'm sure there would be plenty of work, and you could make a lot of money 'cause you're so g--", "Malcolm: Okay, Lily, Lily, stop it. I'm not goin' back to photography. My life is not about taking pretty pictures anymore, and it's never gonna be. So just drop this.", "Lily: I'm sorry. I-I'm pushing you like everyone else. I-I didn't mean to upset you. I'm so--", "Malcolm: No, no, Lily.

I can't get into it.", "Mac: I guess you still don't trust me enough.", "Kevin: Look, there are some things that you shouldn't tell someone if you care about them. You could wind up getting them in a lot of trouble.", "Mac: Who told you that?", "Kevin: My brother. He's a lawyer. Michael Baldwin.", "Mac: Michael Baldwin is your brother? He's one of the best attorneys in town.", "Kevin: Yeah, I know. He's gotten me out of some real jams.", "Mac: Like what happened with colleen?", "Kevin: No. No. You see, I didn't even need a lawyer for that. The police barely even questioned me. They didn't have any evidence. But that's what I was talking about, Mac. There are people who are convinced that I'm guilty, and there is nothing that I can say or do that's gonna make any difference.", "Mac: I don't know what you're accused of, but you still haven't told me that you didn't do it. I'd really like to be your friend, Kevin, and maybe one day you'll trust me enough to let me.", "Kevin: You're not comfortable being alone with me?", "Mac: I'm gonna have to leave soon. So, um, we can talk about this later at the coffeehouse.", "Kevin: Can we really, or are you just saying this to get rid of me?", "Mac: I said I'll be there so I will.", "Kevin: Okay. You're a really special person, Mackenzie. Really.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: Oh, that's good. Oh, yeah, right there. Oh, my.", "Jack: Nice to know I haven't lost my touch.", "Phyllis: Oh, no. Oh, you haven't. Are you kidding? No way. (Gasps) if I didn't think you had big plans tonight, I'd let you work on me all night.", "Jack: So you and Daniel aren't spending the evening together?", "Phyllis: (Chuckles) I'm his mom. He wants to spend the evening with his friends.", "Jack: What about what's his name--porter?", "Phyllis: What about him? No, I think he's spending New Year's Eve with all his secrets. Ohh.", "Jack: Then you're all alone, huh?", "Phyllis: Mm-hmm. I'm all alone. It's okay. So what are you doing?", "Jack: Well, that's a very good question.", "Phyllis: Do you have a good answer? You working here all night?", "Jack: I could probably be lured away from my work if I had a better offer.", "Phyllis: Mm, what if I said you did? (Laughs)", "Jack: I'd say we have a date.", "Phyllis: Oh, we do? Really? Well, that's excellent. What do you wanna do?", "Jack: Uh, what do I wanna do? Hmm. Mmm. Uh... wait. I know exactly what I wanna do.", "Phyllis: What?", "Jack: I want it to be a surprise.

Thank you for asking. Chloe never asks. She does all the picking. She gets aggressive about it. And we have the same taste in music. It's just, for her, it's all about winning.", "Alison: Okay. Uh... 11-63?", "Kevin: Uh, yeah, that's fine.", "Alison: Okay.", "Kevin: (Sighs)", "Alison: So... how was your Christmas?", "Kevin: Oh, my Christmas... my Christmas was ridiculous.

A liar is not one of them.", "Phyllis: Um, excuse me, Mr. Abbott, but Sharon is a liar. She's also a klepto, and she has a-a tenuous grip on reality.", "Jack: N--right now, she was very lucid, albeit, in love with a maniac who would do anything to blame it on anyone else.", "Phyllis: Yeah, that maniac fed her the story.", "Jack: Yeah, or--or it was dark, and she was confused...", "Phyllis: Oh.", "Jack: And we--we don't know what happened. Just the fact that Sharon is going to these lengths to... cover things up for Adam has me worried.", "Phyllis: You're worried? Really? Are you worried?

If you can find her once, we can find her again.", "Sharon: No, no, we can't. Adam, listen to me. I saw Skye on a hike on a volcano.

I saw the look on her face when she knew that I couldn't save her, when she knew that no one could help us, and then... it was over. I saw it.

You are, because Duckie was the one that Andie always wanted. In the original ending of \"Pretty in Pink,\" Andie chose Duckie. That was the ending that we never got to see. No one cared about the guy with the name that no one ever remembered. She always wanted Duckie, and the test audiences, they were the one that wanted this other stupid rich boy fairy tale, so they went back, and they reshot the end of the movie, but she always wanted Duckie. That's the way it was supposed to be.", "Kevin: Well, this is isn't a movie.", "Chloe: And when you said that you wanted me, I just, um... I just thought of how awful it would be if it didn't work out. Well, what if you were right, and what if it did work out? And what if I hooked up with... a really funny, sexy, broody, dark... weird guy who just happens to be my best friend? You ever imagine how great that could be?

I know.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Cane: Yeah, 'cause, uh, Lily mentioned, you know, that, um, she and the babies would be hanging at your place, so I was thinking...", "Neil: You know, um, we made that plan a couple of days ago.", "Cane: Look, I know it's last-minute. I do, um, but, you know, I was thinking, you know, if you could maybe take Matty and Charlie, then I could take Lily out and surprise her for New Year's Eve, and it would just be great.", "Sofia: Aw.", "Neil: Uh, any other time, Cane, I'd love to, but tonight, I-I can't.", "Sofia: Look, you know what? We'll do it.", "Neil: We will? You--are you sure?", "Sofia: Positive. Look, I want this for Lily... uh, for both of you.", "Cane: Thank you. Thank you, Sofia. I appreciate it. Thank you. All right, cool. Thanks, guys.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: So how did Cane react when you told him we're engaged?", "Genevieve: Hmm. He thought that we were moving too fast, but he wished us well.", "Jack: Then why don't you look happier?", "Genevieve: Ethan and I have come a long way, but, um, there's just still this sort of a-- a distance between us. I guess it's-- its kind of stupid of me to think that I could just wipe away years of history in a few short months. (Chuckles)", "Jack: Hey, just keep putting yourself out there. Give it time. He will come around, and when he does, it'll be a whole new beginning for you and your son.", "Genevieve: I am so looking forward to a new beginning with you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Tucker: I really thought I was making some progress with Devon recently.", "Harmony: Listen, I think it was just all a bit much for him.", "Tucker: You know, I realize, uh, I haven't been very welcoming to you since you came back to town.", "Harmony: (Laughs) Well, I would find that a bit of a--what's the word? An understatement.", "Tucker: Well, I'd like to put that behind us, so, uh, we can be in a room with our son without having him want to bolt.", "Harmony: Why don't you stop frontin' and admit the real reason why you all of a sudden want to make nice? Because you see Devon warming up to me while he still ain't feelin' you.", "Tucker: You're not gonna hold a grudge against me for that, are you?", "Harmony: Nah. No, I forgive you. I really do want to see the three of us getting along just as much as you do.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kay: Oh, Devon.", "Devon: Katherine.", "Kay: Obviously, you-- you received my message.", "Devon: Yes, I did.", "Kay: Well, come in.", "Devon: Thank you.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: Oh, Kayla is such a beautiful name.", "Renee: (Laughs) Thank you.

Bye, take care. Mwah!", "Sebastian: You, too. Have the jerk shrimp.", "Billy: (Laughs)", "Renee: Or the coconut shrimp.", "Billy: Coconut shrimp.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Nick.", "Faith: Mommy. Hi, Mommy.", "Nick: We wanted to surprise you, didn't we?", "Faith: Yeah.", "Nick: Yeah?", "Sharon: (Chuckles)", "Nick: Look at the tree. So cool. All right.

Back in the day, it was considered really lame to stay home on New Year's Eve, wasn't it? (Sighs)", "Harmony: You remember that, uh, one New Year's Eve-- this was before I got pregnant with Devon. I think it was 1987. We were at the Roxy on Sunset.", "Tucker: '87. Wow, you got a good memory.", "Harmony: Yeah, we were hangin' out--me, you, band, groupies. I remember this one girl, she got stupid drunk, took off all her clothes, and you covered her with your jacket. Mick to the rescue.", "Tucker: (Laughs) Yeah, yeah. That was an insane night. I don't remember you being there, though.", "Harmony: Oh, no doubt. Had the women hangin' all over you.", "Tucker: Oh, yeah, I was a bit of a player back then.", "Harmony: Crazy times.", "Tucker: Yeah.", "Harmony: Never had a clue we'd end up sharing a kid.", "Tucker: (Clicks lips) Well, I could say it again-- \"If I'd only known\"-- but I won't.", "Harmony: Well, thank you for holding back.", "Tucker: I think Katherine's lucky to have you looking out for her.", "Harmony: Somebody has to.", "Tucker: What's that mean?", "Harmony: I find you to be a bit of a hypocrite. I mean, you reaching out to your son, and then when your moms reaches out to you, you shut her down. How is Devon supposed to learn how to let go of all of that pent-up anger, when you refuse to let go of yours?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Devon: It was a real treat to, uh, get to spend time with Ana, and I just wanted to... thank you for making that happen.", "Kay: My pleasure.", "Devon: I saw my mother earlier, and she thinks I'm terrible for not thanking you sooner.", "Kay: Obviously, we have a long way to go if you had to be convinced to thank me, uh, for a goodwill gesture on Christmas. It's...", "Devon: Well... yeah. I have somewhere to be... (Claps hands lightly) Um, tonight. I want you to have a good night.", "Kay: Oh, yes, yes. You, too.", "Devon: Thanks.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Thank you. So why did you ask me to meet you here?", "Genevieve: Would you prefer a back alley?", "Jack: No, I-I just mean we're coming here later tonight.", "Genevieve: I know. I wanted to reserve our favorite table, and I wanted to get you a very special dessert. Ooh, I sound like a control freak.", "Jack: Oh, no, no, no, no. A woman who takes charge is very sexy.", "Genevieve: I think you're marrying the right woman.", "Jack: I never had a doubt in my mind. I'm sorry I missed seeing Cane here. I did run into Nick, though.", "Genevieve: Hmm. How is Nick?", "Jack: Well, aside from Victoria, his entire family is a mess, and now with the Newman board electing for Adam to run the company instead of Nick-- that's got to gall him.", "Genevieve: Nick would not sell you Beauty of Nature. Adam might.", "Jack: Yeah, dealing with junior is probably the better approach, if I have any hope of getting what I want.", "Genevieve: May 2012 be the year that we both get everything we want.

Or are you changing the rules again, Nick?", "Nick: I'll go. Look, I know you resent me for being a hard-ass about Adam, but you getting the order so quickly proves to me that you're taking the situation very seriously.", "Sharon: I told you, nothing is more important to me than my children.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victoria: (Sighs)", "Victoria: (Exhales quickly)", "Billy: I know seeing Sebastian and Renee and their kid-- that was tough for you.", "Victoria: (Sighs) I'm not gonna lie to you. It kind of threw me for a loop, you know? I--it just-- I know I can't freak out every time I see a couple with a baby, but... this makes me kind of crazy. (Sighs)", "Billy: We lost so much because of what I...", "Victoria: (Sighs)", "Billy: It's my fault.", "Victoria: No, listen, I, um... I don't want to dwell on that, all right? I'm just happy that you're my husband.", "(Cell phone rings)", "Victoria: It's my phone.", "Billy: Mm, mnh-mnh--", "Victoria: (Sighs)", "Billy: (Laughs)", "(Ring)", "Victoria: Hello. What?

Really?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Thought I might find you here.", "Adam: What do you want, Jack?", "Jack: To congratulate you being voted new C.E.O. of Newman Enterprises.", "Adam: Didn't think I could pull it off, did you?", "Jack: I admire a man who fights for what he wants. Reminds me a bit of me.", "Adam: Laying it on a bit thick, aren't we?", "Jack: I may not like you personally, Adam, but you're a bright guy. You may actually do some good for Newman.", "Adam: For example, sell Beauty of Nature to, uh, oh, I don't know, you?", "Jack: If you insist.", "Adam: Why would I sway the board to do you a favor, Jack?", "Jack: Because it's also good for Newman, but you already knew that. Well, I better be going. I have a big night on the town with my fiancée.", "Adam: You're getting married?", "Jack: Enjoy the champagne. Shame you'll be drinking it all alone, especially on New Year's Eve.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: (Quietly) Okay, it'd be best for the kids if we can be friends.", "Sharon: (Quietly) I agree.", "Nick: Tomorrow's a new year. Let's try and start with a fresh slate.", "Sharon: I'd like that.", "Nick: Okay. (Normal voice) Come here, Sweetie. Give Daddy a hug good-bye. Oh, I love you. Be a good girl for Mommy, okay?", "Faith: Okay.", "Nick: Up top. Give me five.", "Faith: Mm!", "(Door closes)", "Sharon: I love you, baby girl. I'd do anything for you. That's Mommy's girl.

You feel what you feel.", "Devon: I know. It's just awkward.", "Roxanne: A couple of months ago, all three of those conversations would have turned into fights.", "Devon: You're right. It's progress.", "Roxanne: Mm-hmm.", "Devon: It is. It's painfully slow progress, though. It's completely wiped me out.", "Roxanne: Well, you better get your second wind, 'cause we're going out tonight.", "Devon: Ohh. Funny, just thinking about spending New Year's Eve with you makes my heart race.", "Roxanne: You are so full of it.", "Devon: (Laughs) I'm not.

I do want next year to be better than this one was.", "Kay: (Laughs) Well, couldn't be much worse.", "Tucker: True. Well, I-I gotta get going.", "Kay: Tucker. Happy New Year to you, too.", "Tucker: Okay.", "Kay: Well, young lady, that was certainly unexpected.", "Harmony: In a good way, right?", "Kay: Well, uh, actually, I've had two unexpected visitors today. You've, uh, you've been a very busy lady.", "Harmony: Devon came to see you?", "Kay: Well, and it didn't, uh, go as well as either of us had hoped it would, but still... Harmony.

I'll book a flight as soon as we can, the first one out. Yes.", "Victoria: Oh, my God. Billy, a baby. I mean, I-I know that it's not a done deal, but we could have a baby.", "Billy: Okay.

[ "At the benefit, Mariah revealed that Hilary made her trip and fall on GC Buzz. They argued, and Mariah quit her job. Devon confronted Hilary about her lies. Although she begged for his forgiveness, he stormed off. Lily approached Hilary and told her to stay away from Devon. Jack reached out to Hilary to offer comfort. Hilary went home looking for Devon, but he wasn't there. Nick and Chelsea shared a passionate New Year's kiss and started to undress, but Chelsea stopped it. They agreed that they were lonely, but Chelsea wanted to remain just friends. Chelsea and Connor left. Faith woke up and she and Nick watched the ball drop. Nikki and Victor danced, and he revealed that he'd already paid for the trip he'd bought for the auction – so he and Nikki would be taking the vacation. Victor approached Jack to make sure he wasn't going back on his deal to let Brash and Sassy stay. Jack said he'd abide by it. Johnny got a stomach ache, so Victoria and Billy left the party early. Billy read Johnny a story and then carried him upstairs. Billy and Victoria were about to kiss when a police officer showed up with a teenage Reed in tow.", "Ravi was star-struck over Victor, so Abby introduced them. Nikki and Victor crossed paths with Phyllis and Michael. Nikki apologized to Victor for every time she reprimanded him for interfering with the kids. She said that Dylan had taught her that it was hard to let your kids go. Mariah apologized to Jack for ruining the event. Jack assured her that the auction was a success, due to Hilary and he said the party was trending online, thanks to Mariah. Ravi was looking longingly at Ashley. Abby mistakenly thought he was smitten with Mariah, and she pulled them together and made them dance. Lauren and Michael danced, but she pulled away to check on Fen, so Phyllis took over as Michael's dance partner. Lauren was thrilled when she found out Phyllis quit her job and would be available to help at Fenmore's full time. Victor and Abby shared a dance and she asked for advice getting over Ben. He gave her a pep-talk. Jack told Phyllis that he hoped the new year was good for her. She wished the same for him, then she told him she was resigning from Jabot. When the ball dropped, Ravi kissed Ashley on the cheek. Devon was speeding and thinking about the fight, and he crashed his new car.", "" ]

Relax on the terrace after a day of pampering with a decadent glass of wine, made with grapes grown in the very fields which you gaze upon. The winner of this amazing package will share in the secrets of these magnificent vintages created by the frémaux family for many years. You'll enjoy a guided tour of the vineyard and the cellars, capped off with your very own private tasting with acclaimed enologist Gerald Duchaussoy. Stroll through the picturesque grapevines, but be careful that you don't slip and fall flat on your face because someone yanked one of those vines, like I did to Mariah on live TV.", "Devon: Hey, what the hell did you just do?", "Mariah: It's time everyone knows the truth about who your wife really is.", "Neil: Hey, hey. I'm sure everyone can't wait to bid on this incredible getaway. Um, why don't we eat, drink, be merry...", "Hilary: How dare you do this to me?", "Mariah: Payback's a bitch, am I right?", "Hilary: You changed the copy in the teleprompter to humiliate me?", "Mariah: Just like you humiliated me when you made me trip in the fashion show!", "Hilary: I made you, what? What are even talking about?", "Mariah: Oh, don't even --", "Devon: Hey, hey, hey, this is a big misunderstanding.", "Neil: Wait a minute. What are you doing? Go! Go in there. Let's go somewhere more private.", "Lily: Please tell me I didn't just imagine that Hilary admitted to making Mariah fall.", "Cane: Well, it sure sounded that way. I just can't imagine that Hilary...", "Lily: What, you can't imagine that she would actually make her look like a fool?", "Cane: Oh, I know she's capable of that, I didn't think she was capable of confessing.", "Kevin: Hilary tripped Mariah?", "Chloe: I don't know!", "Kevin: Well, you were there the night she fell flat on her face.", "Chloe: Yeah, well, all I saw was her working the runway. She was doing great, and then... she went splat. I mean, you saw the video.", "Kevin: Yeah, along with the rest of the world. Hilary messed with the wrong woman.", "Chloe: Yeah.", "Ashley: Did you have any idea?", "Jack: No! None!", "Ashley: Well, when that video went viral, it definitely looked like an accident, but I would not put it past Hilary to do something like that. So do you think she's responsible?", "Jack: I don't know what to think. I'm just hoping this is a misunderstanding and we can get back to the business at hand.", "Neil: What the hell is going on here?", "Mariah: I think Hilary said it all in her confession.", "Hilary: I didn't confess! Mariah is a pathetic loser who is jealous because I took back my job at GC buzz, so now she's sabotaging me.", "Mariah: Devon, I never wanted to be on camera, you know that.", "Neil: Is this true?", "Mariah: Yes, it's true! Hilary is so insecure that she made sure that I would never take her place again!", "Hilary: Oh, see right there? So it's your revenge. Mm.", "Mariah: No. Consider it my resignation. If it takes being sneaky and tacky and low to get to the top, you can have it. And guess what? You can have her. Good luck.", "Neil: Hey.", "Hilary: [Scoffs]", "Devon: Neil, can you give us a second, please?", "Chelsea: Wait, wait, stop. Stop.", "Nick: Yeah. Yeah. Uh...", "Chelsea: [Sighs]", "Nick: I'm -- I'm sorry. I-I'm sorry.", "Chelsea: No, don't be sorry. All that matters is that we did stop. That's all that matters. That's what's important.", "Nick: Yep. Yeah. We stopped.", "Chelsea: You know, it was -- it was the champagne, nick, and it's, um... you know, it's new year's, and we just got -- we just got caught up in the moment. That's all it was.", "Nick: Yeah. Just -- just the moment.", "Chelsea: Uh, you know what, I'm just gonna grab my shoes, and --", "Nick: A-are you gonna leave?", "Chelsea: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what, I'm just gonna wake up Connor, and then we can go back --", "Nick: Chelsea, don't. Please don't go.", "Nikki: It's been such a lovely evening. I only wish we had gotten to bid on that trip to France.", "Victor: Well, I got to tell you that I made a preemptive bid and bought the trip, you know?", "Nikki: For me?", "Victor: Mm.", "Nikki: So, you essentially paid for the same trip twice.", "Victor: Yeah.", "Nikki: You sure you want to do that?", "Victor: Yeah. I bought it once for the foundation... ...and once for my baby. Nothing pleases me more than to make you happy.", "Nikki: Oh. No matter what else the new year brings, promise you'll never stop surprising me.", "Hilary: Mariah is out to get me, okay? Look at the damage that she just did to the foundation. That one auction item, it could have went for --", "Devon: She did not just trip and fall, did she?", "Hilary: Well, she shouldn't have been hosting that event in the first place.", "Devon: So you're basically saying that she was asking for it.", "Hilary: I didn't have some major plan to take down Mariah, okay, Devon? I just -- I wasn't thinking. I lost my temper.", "Devon: Why you lying to me?", "Hilary: I'm not lying to you.", "Devon: Yes, you are lying to me. You lied to me so that I'd hire you back.", "Hilary: Okay, we've already been through that.", "Devon: You lied about your agent setting up job offers. You tricked me into making you executive producer.", "Hilary: I earned that position, you --", "Devon: I bought you a penthouse. Actually, I bought you an entire building so that we could start a fresh life together, build trust and respect.", "Hilary: We have that, Devon. We do.", "Devon: That's the biggest lie of them all.", "Hilary: Okay, Devon. Devon. Come on, please, can we just -- can we just forget about what happened? Can we just try and start over?", "Devon: This didn't just happen, you made it happen. You made Mariah fall on purpose, and you know what I call that? Evil. What if she had gotten hurt?", "Hilary: I wasn't trying to hurt her, okay? I wasn't -- I wasn't thinking, okay? I am sorry. I truly am. Okay? Can you just -- can you just try? Can you try and understand where I'm coming from, please? Just -- [Sighs] Just... I'm sorry, okay? Do you forgive me?", "Devon: I was wondering when you were gonna do this again. You're gonna throw yourself at me and try to manipulate me by using my love for you.", "Hilary: That is not what I'm doing...", "Devon: And all for what? Just to be in front of the camera again?", "Hilary: I can't believe this. You are siding with Mariah.", "Devon: The only reason that Mariah was on the show is because I asked her to be. She didn't want your job. She was doing me a favor, and then you went and did that to her. You made a fool out of her intentionally. How heartless could a person be? And for me to turn the other way and ignore what you've done now would be just --", "Hilary: It would be kind, okay? And it would be forgiving, and that -- Devon, that's the type of man that you are.", "Devon: The type of man that I am is a stupid one for being with you.", "Hilary: Devon, please. Listen!

They're supposed to start at midnight, right?", "Michael: Yeah.", "Kevin: Well, tonight, they started a little early.", "Lily: You know what, Hilary, I underestimated you.", "Hilary: Lily, not now.", "Lily: [Laughing] Oh, there could not be a more perfect time. You know, I knew that you were ruthless, but your desperation is off the charts. You will do anything to get what you want. You even tripped poor Mariah on live TV.", "Cane: We should get back to the party.", "Lily: Why don't you do us a favor and stay away from my brother? He's better off without you.", "Jack: Hey. Hey. You okay?", "Hilary: Yeah, I am -- [Sniffles] I am terrific, Jack. I have got skills, don't you think? I was able to take down my marriage and your foundation benefit, one fell swoop. Quite the achievement.", "Jack: Let me take you home. Come on. I'll drive.", "Hilary: No, no, I'm fine. I'm gonna get a cab. I'm sorry, Jack.", "Victor: Jack, if you don't mind my saying so, I don't think you and your foundation can save everyone, nor do I think she is worth the effort.", "Nick: Thanks. Faith's still asleep. It's another year where she misses the countdown.", "Chelsea: What about the boys?", "Nick: Both old cold.", "Chelsea: Kids. Life is so simple for them.", "Nick: Maybe it's the so-called \"adults\" that make things complicated. You know, what -- what happened here...", "Chelsea: It won't happen again. I mean, we kissed, nick, you know, a-and, um... you know, we came close to...", "Nick: Yeah, uh... yeah, I think -- I think we both just miss Adam and sage. 2016 was pretty brutal for both of us, and this time of year, you get lonely and you turn to...someone else.", "Chelsea: What makes it wrong is us turning to each other. You're my friend, nick. I need you in my life, you know? I need you in Connor's life.", "Nick: I feel the same way. I'll never forget the promise I made to Adam -- to look out for you and Connor. That didn't include... sorry.", "Chelsea: No. Nick, we're both learning to live life without our partners. And you -- you're just beginning to adjust to having this amazing blessing of having Christian back. The last thing either one of us needs is more...complications.", "Nick: You mean feelings.", "Chelsea: Feelings have consequences. And the more you feel, the more you open yourself up to getting hurt. I can't handle getting hurt again. I don't think you can, either.", "Victor: Must be exhausting being that woman's champion.", "Jack: What, are you happy that she's upset?", "Victor: Listen to me.

You were about to evict my daughter from your premises to get even with your idiot brother.", "Jack: We have a deal. I plan to abide by it.", "Victor: Good to know, Jack. Now, you and your brother can embark upon the new year with a clean slate. Thanks to me.", "Billy: Ugh. You know what I'm not looking forward to? Being grateful to your father to keeping us in our office space.", "Victoria: Well, do you prefer giving Jack the satisfaction of seeing us evicted?", "Billy: Mm, do you ever wish you were an orphan? You wouldn't be a Newman. I wouldn't be an Abbott.", "Victoria: Then what would we fight about?", "Billy: Well, maybe we wouldn't fight.", "[Cell phone rings]", "Victoria: It's the sitter. Hey, Hannah. Does he have a fever?", "Billy: Is he okay?", "Victoria: Okay, I'll be right there. I have to go.", "Billy: I'm gonna come with you.", "Victoria: No, stay. It didn't sound that serious.", "Billy: Come on, he's my boy, too, and to be honest, I would love to get out of here.", "Lauren: [Laughing] Okay, missy. What's going on in that mind of yours?", "Phyllis: That some things are meant to be and... ...some things aren't.", "Michael: You sure about that?", "Phyllis: Absolutely, positively, completely.", "Ashley: Hey.", "Ravi: Hey.", "Ashley: How's it going? I warned you, this party could get pretty boring.", "Ravi: Oh, not to me. I think it's amazing. Hey, is that victor Newman over there?", "Abby: Hi, uh, do you want to meet him?", "Ravi: You -- you know victor Newman?", "Abby: Dad.", "Ravi: Dad?", "Abby: Dad.", "Victor: Yes, sweetheart.", "Abby: Hi, I would like you to meet the best software engineer in the whole wide world, Ravi...", "Ravi: Sh-Shapur. Ashley's your mother and Mr. Newman's your father?", "Victor: Is you're as good as they say you are, why are you not on my payroll?", "Jack: Because he works for me.", "Victor: If you ever want to play in the big leagues, you let me know, all right?", "Nikki: No more shop talk tonight, darling. Come on.", "Victor: We're gonna go dancing. Nice to meet you, Ravi.", "Nikki: Good to meet you.", "[Engine starts]", "[Engine revs]", "Mariah: Hi, excuse me, Jack. Sorry. I'm so sorry. I know you're busy and everything, trying to run this event and trying to save the people who can't save themselves....", "Jack: Actually, Mariah --", "Mariah: It's a great cause and it's very, very important and I really, really wish that I had thought about that before I put Hilary on blast with the whole teleprompter confession thing.", "Jack: Mariah, it's okay.", "Mariah: No, it's not okay because I ruined everything, an I know you that you actually kind of like Hilary...", "Jack: Yes, Hilary is a friend of mine.", "Mariah: And I just basically humiliated her in front of --", "Jack: Stop! You have to let me get a word in.", "Mariah: Sorry.", "Jack: You didn't ruin anything. Thanks to Hilary, the auction was a great success.", "Mariah: It was?", "Jack: And thanks to you, this party is a sensation.", "Mariah: It is?", "Jack: I don't know if you've seen it -- this thing is trending on social media. That can only raise the profile of the foundation.", "Mariah: So what you're telling me is that my ruining everything...maybe helped?", "Jack: Yeah. Something like that.", "Abby: Just go for it.", "Ravi: Wait, you really think she would say yes?", "Abby: Sure. Just ask her.", "Ravi: Okay. [Clears throat] [Exhales sharply, sniffs]", "Abby: Oh, good grief. Mariah, this is Ravi. Ravi, this is Mariah. Go dance.", "Mariah: Hi.", "Abby: With each other. Now!", "Mariah: Oh, okay!", "Abby: Do I have to do everything around here?", "Mariah: [Chuckles] Hi. So...what's your sign?", "Ravi: Uh...pi?", "Mariah: Like apple or pumpkin or...", "Ravi: Like 3.14159...", "Mariah: Right. Well, this is off to a really weird start, but I'm down.", "[Both chuckle]", "Michael: Come dance with me.", "Lauren: Hey, you know what? I'm just gonna go check in with fen.", "Michael: Look, our son is a grown man. He is probably ringing in the new year with a beautiful lady friend or two lady friends. Maybe a whole bunch of lady friends.", "Lauren: All right, enough of that, enough of that. Or he could be sitting alone in his apartment wondering why the heck we haven't checked in.", "Michael: [Sighs] I like my version better. Come on.", "Lauren: Honey, please, I -- it'll be quick. I just need to --", "Phyllis: Hey, let your wife do her mom thing, all right, and dance this one with me. Might be the only chance I get tonight.", "Lauren: Ooh, that is a perfect solution.", "Michael: All right, well, give my love to my son and... ...his wives.", "Lauren: Ha, ha! Very funny. And save the next one for me, okay, baby?", "Michael: Oh, what a great problem to have -- two beautiful women as dance partners.", "Phyllis: Ahh.", "Michael: [Chuckles] Relax, I'm not gonna step on your feet. [Laughs]", "Phyllis: [Laughs]", "Michael: Oh! Oh, I am so sorry, Mr. Newman.", "Victor: Well, excuse me. Almost poetic that we should ring in the new year together.", "Phyllis: \"Should old acquaintance be forgot...\"", "Michael: I hear you spared Jack a massive embarrassment in the courtroom. I was ready to wipe the floor up with him for that eviction notice.", "Victor: Glad to hear that, but I didn't do it for Jack. I did that for Victoria.", "Nikki: Well, speaking of that, I haven't seen her in a while. Did she leave?", "Victor: I don't know.", "Phyllis: Victoria left with Billy. Well, maybe they wanted to celebrate, you know, your magnanimous gesture, making it possible for them to keep working together.", "Victor: Have a nice evening.", "Phyllis: Yeah.", "Michael: Yeah. Mm.", "Victoria: Come on, baby. Let's get you up to bed.", "Billy: Oh, come on. Can't go to bed when your stomach's doing somersaults, right, bud?", "Victoria: Billy.", "Billy: I'm just saying, maybe a little book might help him out a little bit.", "Victoria: [Sighs] Would you like that? Would you like your dad to read you a book tonight?", "Billy: Me?", "Victoria: Yeah, it was your idea. Would that help you sleep, baby?", "Billy: All right. What kind of book do you want to read? Something about wizards and dragons and fun stuff like that?", "Victoria: How about something about fluffy clouds, because the idea is to get some sleep, right?", "Billy: We got out-voted. Okay. \"The boy who cried wolf.\" That'll work. Okay. You want to read? All right, here we go.", "Victoria: I'm gonna go check on Katie.", "Billy: All right. Okay, ready? \"Once upon a time...\"", "Johnny: Wolf!", "Billy: Wolf! There he is. Look at him. Does he look mean? A little bit, doesn't he?", "Hilary: Devon? Devon! Devon, come on. We can talk about this. Devon! [Sighs] [Voice breaking] Devon.", "Devon: Hey, you've reached Devon Hamilton...", "Hilary: [Groans] [Sighs] [Sniffles]", "[Rock music plays]", "Hilary: I love you so much, Devon. So I'm fighting. I am fighting for us, Devon.", "[Music volume increases]", "Hilary: I don't understand how you can't see that. I've been running since I was born", "Devon: Listen to me. Lying is not the answer. All right? No more of that. She got you again. When are you going to learn, damn it?! He has my name and he has my number", "Devon: God!", "Ashley: I think it was a really smart move to negotiate with victor to get the space, even though it means we have to keep brash & sassy! In the building.", "Jack: I admit, if it meant funding the foundation and all the good work we do for another year, it was worth it. Just barely. Look, congratulations to all of us for pulling this off, especially to you, ash. This would not have happened without you.", "Ashley: And?", "Jack: And you were right and I was wrong.", "Ashley: [Gasps]", "Jack: And it wouldn't be the first time. Thanks for always being there to rescue me.", "Ashley: You're welcome. And thank you. Here's to the foundation.", "Neil: Yes, and my gratitude on top of that. Ashley, this evening is absolutely perfect.", "Jack: So, do you think Devon and Hilary will put things back together?", "Neil: I believe Hilary will land on her feet. She always does. As far as Devon, I watched him leave here. He was so upset, so angry. It's too bad.", "Jack: Have you tried calling him?", "Neil: He's not picking up.", "Ashley: I'm sure Hilary's reached him by now. These kind of fights tend to blow over quickly when you're in love.", "Jack: Sometimes.", "Lauren: Have you had a chance to talk to Jack about the fact that you're quitting jabot? Oh, God, I want to get Fenmore's website up and running as fast as possible. Something brand-new for 2017.", "Phyllis: Okay. Actually, I ran into Jack on Christmas eve and I told him I was ready to move on.", "Lauren: Are you telling me that you are available full-time?", "Phyllis: I am so available. Count me in!", "Lauren: Best belated Christmas present ever!", "Phyllis: You know what? The feeling is mutual because you gave me an out. Now, how do we kick off the new year?", "Lauren: Mm-hmm.", "Phyllis: We let go of the past.", "Lauren: That's right, sister.", "Phyllis: Right? Boom.", "Lauren: [Laughs] I love it.", "Phyllis: Yeah.", "Victor: Hello, sweetheart.", "Abby: Hey, dad.", "Victor: [Sighs] Been quite a year, hasn't it? Hmm?", "Abby: Yeah. [Chuckles] One year ago, I was in this room at this very moment and I was getting married. I was sure it was all gonna work out. So, how do you do it? How do you keep going?", "Victor: Well, when you fight, you fight. And when you cry...", "Abby: You cry?", "Victor: No, not me. I just fight harder. But if there's a need to cry, I hire someone to do it for me.", "Abby: [Chuckles]", "Victor: And then there's a time to dance. And that is what you and I are gonna do right now.", "Abby: [Laughs]", "Victor: Come on.", "Nick: What are you thinking about? How mad you are at me?", "Chelsea: I'm not mad at you. But I was serious about what I said. Your friendship is really, really important to me, and I don't want to mess it up.", "Nick: That's never gonna happen. And you can guarantee that by opening this.", "Chelsea: Looks expensive.", "Nick: Eh, depends on your definition of expensive. I mean, it was like...a million bucks. Go ahead. Open it.", "Chelsea: I don't know if I should.", "Nick: Fine, then I'll open it.", "Chelsea: All right.", "Nick: Let's see.", "Chelsea: Oh! [Laughs]", "Nick: Just some, uh, you know, mementos from the evening.", "Chelsea: Mm-hmm. Did you steal these from your daughter?", "Nick: Well, she's asleep, so technically, it's not stealing.", "Chelsea: Do these make me look smarter?", "Nick: You look way smarter than me.", "Chelsea: Well, it's a low bar.", "[Both laugh]", "Nick: That is true. So... [Sighs] I mean, we're good, right? We're -- we're still friends?", "Chelsea: Yeah. Still friends.", "Nick: Friends.", "Chelsea: Um, I -- I am gonna go get Connor and leave before the parties start breaking up, so...", "Nick: Yeah. Drive safe.", "Chelsea: I will. Thanks for these.", "Nick: Yeah.", "Billy: So, what's the moral of the story, buddy?", "Johnny: Wolves.", "Billy: Wolves what?", "Johnny: Wolves are bad.", "Billy: Wolves are bad. Yeah, that's true. But it's also saying that if you cry wolf all the time, then people stop listening to you. And when you really need somebody, when the wolf is really there, they might not believe you. And then what happens?", "Johnny: Eats you.", "Billy: Then it eats you. Then it eats you up, it eats you up, and it starts at your leg and it goes all the way up and into your arm and into your belly.", "Victoria: Yeah, looks like the story did the trick. He looks really sleepy.", "Billy: Yeah.", "Victoria: Are you ready for bed, baby?", "Billy: Can I take him up, mommy?", "Victoria: Yeah, of course.", "Billy: Yeah. Okay. You want to take your nice, cozy blanket with you? Come on. Ready? Come on.", "Victoria: How's he feeling?", "Billy: Cool as a cucumber.", "Victoria: All right.", "Billy: Say bye to mommy.", "Victoria: Good night, baby. Love you. Oh, Billy, uh, you know, if you look under his bed and in the closet, he'll sleep a lot better.", "Billy: Oh, yes, we'll make sure there's no wolves. No wolves in your closet or underneath your bed or in your top drawer where all your socks are or in your closet where all your games are and toys are.", "Victor: Everything will be all right. I think next year's gonna be wonderful for all of us, especially for you, okay?", "Abby: Well, if anyone could guarantee to make that happen, it would be you.", "Lauren: There you are.", "Michael: Hey! Ooh. I thought you didn't talk to Fenmore.", "Lauren: I didn't.", "Michael: Then what's got you so happy?", "Lauren: [Chuckles]", "Michael: You're in about 1,000% better mood than after that call.", "Lauren: Well, let's see. Is it this party? I mean, it's nice, but no.", "Michael: Mm.", "Lauren: Could it be my shoes that are crushing my toes right now?", "Michael: I'm guessing not.", "Lauren: No. Must be you, baby. [Chuckles]", "Nikki: Well, you certainly improved Abby's mood.", "Victor: That is what I intended to do. And now what can I do for you?", "Nikki: Hmm. You mean besides taking me on that fabulous trip to France?", "Victor: Mm-hmm.", "Nikki: Well, you could accept my apologies for every time I reprimanded you for interfering with the kids.", "Victor: What brought that about?", "Nikki: Dylan. Letting your children go, giving them space is just the hardest thing to do.", "Victor: It is, isn't it?", "Jack: Ready to do this with me? Come on.", "Ashley: Uh, you go ahead.", "Jack: You sure? Okay, everyone, I guess you know what time it's getting to be! Time to ring in 2017! So grab a drink, grab a friend, and maybe you can grab a kiss.", "Chloe: [Chuckles]", "Kevin: Whoo!", "Jack: The clock is ticking!", "Cane: All right.", "Ravi: Did -- did he say kiss?", "Mariah: Oh, who knows? But thank you for the dance, Ravi.", "Ravi: No problem. But about that kiss, are we supposed to find someone, or...?", "Mariah: You know, I think you're probably thinking too hard about it, but my friends have something going on over there, so I'll see you later. Hey, guys.", "Kevin: So, you and the AV guy.", "Mariah: Oh. Ravi's nice enough, but he speaks a foreign language -- math.", "Neil: Okay, so, it's time to synchronize our watches, huh?", "Ashley: All right, you boys do that.", "Neil: Yeah, and then...", "Phyllis: Jack, can I have a minute?", "Neil: Um, why do we, uh, go get set up for midnight, all right? Come on. After you.", "Jack: Tempting though it may be, tonight of all nights, to rehash the year that was, I'm not sure I see the point. Believe it or not, I hope the new year is good to you.", "Phyllis: Believe it or not, I hope the same for you. And in that same spirit, I have decided that now is the time to make that clean break I mentioned at Christmas.", "Jack: Now?", "Phyllis: Would there be a better time?", "Jack: No. None.", "Phyllis: Good. Then as of this moment, I am no longer working for jabot. Happy New Year, Jack.", "Nick: Hey! You're up!", "Faith: I set my phone alarm so I'd be awake at midnight.", "Nick: That's pretty smart.", "Faith: Where's Chelsea?", "Nick: Uh, she and Connor went home.", "Faith: So, is it just you and me?", "Nick: And your little brother.", "Faith: Christian can sleep through anything. But I wouldn't miss this! Look! The ball's about to drop!", "Nick: Come here. [Groans]", "Faith: [Laughs]", "Billy: Little man was asleep before his head hit the pillow.", "Victoria: Well, I guess you have the magical touch.", "Billy: Well, maybe that's because I've never grown up myself. Thanks for letting me put him down.", "Victoria: Yeah, of course. It never gets old, does it?", "Billy: No, it doesn't. Okay. I should head out. You okay?", "Victoria: Yeah, I'm fine. You just -- you don't have to feel like you have to rush off or anything.", "Billy: I don't want to crowd you. I mean, you've been keeping your distance lately, and...", "Victoria: Yeah, I know. Stress.", "Billy: Brash & Sassy! Almost losing the lab?", "Victoria: Among other things. It's a relief, though, isn't it? Knowing that we don't have to move out of our offices?", "Billy: Things are looking up.", "Victoria: Yeah.", "Billy: Looks like it's gonna be a good year for the both of us. And our kids.", "Victoria: That's what I want more than anything.", "Billy: It's good to see you smile again. I know it's early. Happy New Year, Vick.", "Victoria: Happy New Year, Billy.", "[Doorbell rings]", "Billy: Five to one that's your dad making sure the new year's celebration doesn't get out of hand.", "Victoria: Reed. What are you doing here? He says he belongs to you. Is that right?", "Reed: Hi, mom.", "Faith and nick: 10, 9, 8...", "All: Happy New Year!", "[Cheering] Happy New Year! Mwah! Mwah! Happy New Year! Mwah!", "Ashley: Hey, you guys, we might be unattached, but we can still celebrate!", "Jack: Yes! To us!", "[Fireworks booming]", "[Cheering]", "Ashley: [Laughs]", "[Booming continues]", "Ashley: Wow! Oh! Ooh! The fireworks! Ooh! Oh! Ooh!", "Hilary: [Sighs]", "[Rock music]", "Hilary: I wasn't thinking, okay? I am sorry. I truly am.", "[Music volume increases]", "Hilary: Please just -- can't you just listen to me?", "[Engine revving]", "Hilary: Can you just try? Can you try and understand? Devon! Devon!", "[Tires screeching]", "[Loud crash, glass shatters]" ]

[ "Sharon: What do you want?", "Cameron: Hey, just checking to see if you're ready.", "Sharon: Ready for what?", "Cameron: Well, you haven't forgotten that we're hosting a New Year's Eve party together tonight, have you?", "Sharon: I am not hosting anything, okay? I've made a few phone calls on your behalf, and that is it.", "Cameron: So the guests are confirmed. Gina has her marching orders.", "Sharon: It's handled, okay? Yes.", "Cameron: Don't be late.", "Sharon: All right, this is your party, Mr. Kirsten. It's not mine, and I really couldn't care less whether I'm there on time or not, so-- so I will see you tonight then. Okay, bye bye.", "Nick: Was that Cameron?", "Sharon: Yeah, he was just checking to see when we'll be there.", "Nick: Yeah, he's pretty excited about this party you two are hosting.", "Sharon: Um, honey, I wish you wouldn't look at it that way because it's really not my party, you know? It's Cameron's.", "Nick: Little Miss Modesty. So is everything set for tonight?", "Sharon: It's all handled.", "Nick: Except for one thing.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "(Cork hits wall)", "Kevin: Ahh. Man, its fun being smart. Most people are dumber than dirt. You slap a restraining order on 'em, they think they're restrained, but not me. I fight back because I have a plan. I spit on your restraining order, judge. What? What's that? You call that contempt? You're damn right it's contempt.", "Kevin: \"So, Lily, if you didn't get it from Kevin, where did you get Chlamydia? You must have gotten it somewhere!\" \"Daddy, Daddy, I swear, I swear it was Kevin.\" (Laughing) oh, man, I would love to be a fly on the wall in that house right now.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Neil: No, I understand. We were out of the country. Your hands were tied. Well, meanwhile, we'll just cope with it as best we can. Yeah. Thanks, John. You take care.", "Dru: Honey.", "Neil: (Speaking softly) damn it. Damn it. Drucilla, you know how close I was. I was this close.", "Dru: Yes, honey. I understand that. How did you leave things with John Silva?", "Neil: I'm gonna talk with John right after the first of the year, see what our options are regarding our daughter, now that the restraining order's been lifted.", "Dru: Oh, honey! You look absolutely fabulous!", "Neil: Look out, world.", "Lily: Thank you.", "Neil: You look beautiful.", "Dru: I knew this was gonna be gorgeous on you. Hey, kids.", "Lily: Hey, guys.", "Colleen: Hi.", "Sierra: Hey.", "Lily: So are we all ready to party?", "Colleen: Yes, we are, but first things first. Welcome home, babe.", "Lily: Thank you.", "Colleen: Come here.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Another year gone by.", "Victor: It's almost too cold for riding. But it feels good. It clears the cobwebs. You thinking about New Year's?", "Nikki: This year's almost over, thank God. Though I wonder if the next one's gonna be even worse.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Boy, you look like a million bucks.", "John: Well, I feel like 50 cents.", "Jack: Dad, I know you're worried about Ash. We just have to hope and pray she's gonna pull through this.", "John: Nah, I just feel I should be with her.", "Jack: Dad, Dad, weren't you the one that told me Brad wanted to handle things with his wife?", "John: Yeah, I know that, Jack.", "Jack: So let's let him handle things. Look, you go to Cameron Kirsten's party and let your hair down. Have a good time. You need to loosen up a bit.", "John: Thank you. And what about you? Now I still don't understand why you don't go up, get dressed and go with me, make an appearance.", "Jack: No, I'm still a bit jet-lagged from Japan. I'd just bring everyone else down.", "John: That's the real reason?", "Jack: What do you mean?", "John: Jackie, your wedding anniversary was Christmas Eve. You have not mentioned it once. And I know that your problems with Phyllis have not helped your holiday spirit.", "Jack: Yeah, probably not. The last thing I feel like doing on New Year's Eve is celebrating with a lot of people. Look, if I don't see you before midnight, happy New Year.", "John: Son, happy New Year. I love you, Jack.", "Jack: I love you, too, Dad.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Gina: I need some more champagne glasses. They're right over there. Let's stock up. Good.", "Phyllis: Wow.

Well, Newman Enterprises, same difference.", "Gina: Hmm. Yeah, right.", "Phyllis: So I guess everybody who's anybody will be coming.", "Gina: If you're asking whether the Abbotts have been invited, say for instance, your husband Jack, well, yes, he has been. It's a pity, isn't it?", "Phyllis: What's a pity?", "Gina: That I know more about what's going on in Jack's life than you do.", "Phyllis: Well, yes, that is a pity, but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it.", "Gina: Well, if I see Jack, shall I tell him you're looking for him?", "Phyllis: Nope.", "Gina: Then you're not staying?", "Phyllis: No. If you see my husband, don't tell him anything.", "Gina: Well, that'll be a pleasure. Guys, guys... (snaps fingers)", "Phyllis: It's better that it's a surprise.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Jack: Another year gone by. Question is, Jackie boy, what have you got to celebrate?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nick: You like it?", "Sharon: It's beautiful. I love it. But, um, you don't expect me to wear this tonight, do you?", "Nick: Uh, yeah, I do. You look great in that.", "Sharon: Well, it's just-- I mean, it's a little too...", "Nick: Babe, the Athletic Club may be 80 years old, but, you know, all the fellas, well, they're not. That dress is a ten and so are you. You have the perfect body for it.", "Sharon: Honey, you're so sweet to say that.", "Nick: Look, I want the whole world to see my sexy wife. I want 'em to feel a little jealous.", "Sharon: But, honey, it's winter, and I am just going to freeze to death in this.", "Nick: Well, I guess it's a good thing then that you could wear a coat on the way over there. Are the kids going with us?", "Sharon: No. They both have sleepovers tonight with friends.", "Nick: You know, I bet my Mom's feeling pretty rotten tonight.", "Sharon: Well, maybe she and Victor will surprise us and they'll both show up.", "Nick: I doubt it. The news of his arrest has been all over the papers. He won't wanna be there.", "Sharon: Did you talk to your Mom about the party?", "Nick: Yeah, she didn't sound too enthused.", "Sharon: Well, I know how she feels.", "Nick: Are you not excited about tonight?", "Sharon: I know you're supposed to party on New Year's Eve, but I'd give anything if we could just stay home and just ring in the New Year together without all the hoopla.", "Nick: Babe... are you okay?", "Sharon: What do you mean?", "Nick: Well, you seem a little on edge lately, and my Mom said the same thing. Is there something going on, something I should know about?", "Sharon: No. Nothing. I mean, everything's fine, except for this family, which is a complete mess.", "Nick: Well, that doesn't really explain the other day.", "Sharon: The other day?", "Nick: Yeah, apparently, you were at lunch with Cassie. And I don't know, something happened. You kinda freaked out and practically dragged Cassie out of there. What was up with that?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Victor: It's ironic, isn't it? Our son is living a mere stone's throw away, and yet I feel as distant from him as if he lived on another continent.", "Nikki: Yes, it's heartbreaking, victor. (Nikki pouring drink)", "Victor: What are your feelings about me?", "Nikki: Please don't ask me that right now. I can barely live just day-to-day.", "Victor: I talked to Sharon earlier.", "Nikki: Oh, how nice of you.", "Victor: Are you aware that there's a function at the Athletic Club tonight?", "Nikki: Yes, I am, and I'm not going.", "Victor: Well, don't you think it would be better to be out somewhere?", "Nikki: Better than what?", "Victor: What do you mean, \"better than what\"? Better than sitting around here and watching the gulf between us grow larger.", "Nikki: Do you have any idea how much it tears me apart that things are the way they are between us?", "Victor: Don't you think they tear me apart", "Nikki: You betrayed me, Victor. I don't know how to make that okay.", "Victor: I didn't mean to hurt you.", "Nikki: You know, I do believe that, but you still did it. You knew exactly what you were doing. So that makes me wonder-- forget it. There's no point in going over this again and again.", "Jack: You talk about betrayal. I had warned you. I warned you repeatedly not to invest $35 million in Jack Abbott's company. You went ahead anyway. Let's just put this behind us. This was a very difficult year. I think we should go out tonight and celebrate and just look at the New Year with a sense of optimism. Sharon would like both of us to be there.", "Nikki: Why?", "Victor: What do you mean why? Perhaps she intends to give the impression that this family is still holding together.", "Nikki: Well, that's too bad because I cannot face an entire evening of pretense.", "Victor: Well, good. Then I'll go alone.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sharon: Nick, it was the weirdest thing. I had this sudden panic attack, and I started shaking, and I felt like I couldn't catch my breath, and I just-- I had to get out of there.", "Nick: Has that ever happened before?", "Sharon: No, no, not that I can remember, and I had no idea what caused it.", "Nick: Maybe you should see a doctor.", "Sharon: Well, I've already promised myself that if it does happen again, I will definitely have it checked out.", "Nick: (Sighs) you know, this family has been through so much. And I guess I forget sometimes what it does to you. And I'm sorry. I'm glad you told me.", "Sharon: Well, honey, I never meant for it to be a secret.", "Nick: Well, that's good, because we both learned the hard way what secrets do to relationships.", "Sharon: You know, I'm really fine now, so why don't we just forget it?", "Nick: Are you fine enough to practice for when the clock strikes 12?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Nikki: Good. You haven't left yet.", "Victor: Change your mind or what?", "Nikki: If you're determined to go to this thing, I don't want you to go alone.", "Victor: Well, thank you.", "Nikki: I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for the family. There's a lot to be said for appearances. Given our son's attitude lately, I think my presence will keep things more peaceful.", "Victor: Let me help you with this.", "Victor: You look beautiful.", "Nikki: I wish things were different.", "Victor: It'll be my New Year's resolution that they will. All right, Nikki Newman, let's go.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Gina: John. Happy New Year.", "John: Happy New Year to you. How's everything going?", "Gina: Well, now that you're here, everything is wonderful.", "John: Well, I think we ought to drink on that. What do you say?", "Gina: I think that's a great idea.", "John: The place looks great.", "Phyllis: Hey, John.", "John: Phyllis.", "Phyllis: Did Jack come with you?", "John: No.", "Phyllis: Oh, is he planning to show up at some point?", "John: No, he isn't.", "Phyllis: Oh. Well, thank you. Happy New Year.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Lily: I am so glad that you guys believe me.", "Sierra: Of course we do, Lily.", "Lily: I mean, after Kevin was here last night, I was so freaked out. I was just thinking that-- that everyone's gonna think that I'm lying, you know, that I'm some big tramp.", "Colleen: Hey, we would never think that, Lily, never.", "Lily: I know. You guys are the best. Thank you.", "Dru: Here we are.", "Neil: Hey, kids, shall we get this show on the road?", "Lily: Yes, we shall. I wanna have some fun tonight. It's New Year's Eve.", "Colleen: It's time to forget about you-know-who.", "Dru: You know, I can't believe a new year is upon us, kids, can you?", "Sierra: I think it's gonna be a good one.", "Dru: Okay. You're a bright musician and have a beautiful voice.", "J.T.: Oh, thank you. I'm all right. So where's this party at again?", "Neil: Athletic Club on Melrose. You wanna take Colleen and Sierra and follow us there?", "Lily: Dad.", "Neil: Fine, sweetie, you can ride with them. Go ahead.", "J.T.: All right, so we'll meet you there.", "Neil: Sounds like a plan.", "Dru: Button up, button up. It's really cold out. Here we go.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Kevin: You're going to a party after what I just laid on you? Man, I gotta see this.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Phyllis: Hi.", "Jack: You're all dressed up.", "Phyllis: With no place to go.", "Jack: Oh, I doubt that.", "Phyllis: That's right.

It's a summary of our entire deal, everything we worked on.", "Sharon: He cannot just pull this on you out of the blue.", "Nick: I know, but I'm not gonna tell him that, all right? I wanna be the guy that gets things done. I need to be that guy. Do you understand that?", "Sharon: Yes, I understand.", "Nick: Okay, I'm sorry, but I gotta leave right after the ball drops. So I want to say this to you now. Look, I know we've been through a lot together. There've been some tough times.

I-I got a mention.", "Traci: I think Billy would love that.", "Ashley: (Groans)", "Jack: Billy left Jabot, not the other way around.

How about after this, you grab Jackie boy, and you cart him all the way around town, and you show him the meaning of forgiveness. I mean, it's a little juvenile, don't you think? Holding onto a grudge this long? This is ridiculous.", "John: (Sighs)", "Jack: On to better thoughts. Glasses ready?", "Traci: Oh!

You guys make me sick.", "Victoria: You know, I have to admit, I've wanted this place from the second Billy gutted our family in print.", "Nick: Mm.", "Kevin: Well, I tell you. It didn't suck dismantling his empire after years of dealing with his crappy attitude.", "Billy: What does \"Captain Coffee Cakes\" know about running a magazine?", "John: What did you know about it when you took it over?", "Billy: Unh.

How is it that you don't care?", "John: Oh, Billy, you've had years to step up. No, but instead, you--", "Billy: Yes. Yes. I know what you're gonna say. Instead, I decided to be a success. I wanted to make lots of money. Yeah, that's right. So what? Who cares? So did you. So did every Chancellor and every Abbott ever born. You had Jabot. I made \"Restless Style.\" And it became a huge success, but so why don't you just act like a father for once and give me credit! I did what you wanted me to do!", "John: Jabot is not about money. It's about family. Your brother and sister understand that, but you, no, instead--", "Billy: Fine. Fine. Fine. Good. Is this--is this where I say that I'll be good? I'll be good. I promise you.

If I wanted to ever spend time alone with my daughter--", "Victor: Sharon, you deserve better than that man, okay?", "Sharon: Thank you for caring.", "Victor: I always care. I want you to live in peace, without fear of being harassed.", "Sharon: I haven't felt peaceful or unafraid for...

Sweet of you, but nothing really shocks her, right? You have nerves of steel, don't you, Avery?", "Ronan: Okay, well, we can go somewhere else.", "Phyllis: No, we don't need to go anywhere else.

I may have to spend many years here, and to know that someone I trust is looking out for my interests, that's comforting.", "Sharon: What-- what about Michael?", "Victor: Just a lawyer, a very good one. But I am... (Sighs) I'd want to be looking forward to visits from someone that I... care deeply about.", "Sharon: You already have that.

Michael, I need you to get my dad out of there, because he might be the only person that can keep that creep away from my mom.", "Avery: Oh, a lot of people are looking for answers. Hopefully, one of us will find some.", "Michael: Hmm. Yeah. I'll do my best.", "Nick: Keep me posted, okay?", "Michael: Mm-hmm. I will. Done.", "Avery: I'll call you tomorrow...", "Michael: Have a good one.", "Avery: See where things stand.", "Michael: Enjoy yourselves.", "Avery: Thank you.", "Lauren: I meant what I said.

I hope you and Genevieve enjoy many happy years together.", "Jack: I wish I could say the same thing about your new arrangement. I'm worried about you, Nikk.", "Nikki: Don't be. Despite what everybody thinks, I know what I'm doing.", "Myrna: (Sighs) Okay.", "Gloria: May I help you?", "Myrna: Um, I'm just here to get something to go.", "Gloria: All alone on New Year's, huh? I can relate to that. All these revelers, and yet... it's tough. You take care.", "Nikki: Um, I'm sorry, Gloria. Um, could I have a word with you in private?", "Gloria: (Chuckles) Sure, Nikki, right away. Um, happy new year.", "Myrna: Happy New Year.", "Gloria: This way. What can I do for you, Nikki?", "Nikki: I need to talk to you about Deacon's alibi the night Diane was killed.", "Gloria: Here, now?", "Nikki: Yes, right now. It's very important.", "Gloria: Okay.", "Nikki: Deacon confided in me that he wasn't here that entire night, that he slipped away for a while without punching out. I need to know if that could possibly be true. It would mean so much to Victor and me if you could help us.", "Gloria: Well, to be honest... (Whispering) I wasn't here the whole time, either.", "Nikki: Well, where were you?", "Gloria: Sometimes, when it's slow, I go upstairs to the office, get on FacePlace, get so caught up, hours can go by without me realizing it. But Deacon was behind the bar when I went upstairs, and he was there when I got back. In between... hard to say.", "Nikki: So it's possible that he could have left and come back. Yes, that is possible. Thank you so much, Gloria. I really appreciate it. Listen, this is just between us girlfriends, right?", "Gloria: My lips are sealed.", "Nikki: Thanks.", "Nikki: (Slurring slightly) Hey, did you miss me?", "Deacon: Oh, you know I did.", "Nikki: Mm. Well, that's good. It means the honeymoon isn't over.", "Deacon: (Chuckles) It hasn't even started. You know, I couldn't help but, uh, see your little tte--tte with Gloria. Now what were you two talking about?", "Nikki: Oh, my God, that woman is a bore. She's a bore and a half. She thinks I'm her ticket to get into the society crowd. Fat chance.", "Deacon: Mm.", "Nikki: Oopsie. All gone.", "Deacon: Yeah, I know. I did notice that.", "Nikki: Can you be a lamb and get us another?", "Deacon: Of course I can, Darling.", "Nikki: Thank you. I'm gonna go powder my nose.", "Deacon: Okay.", "Nikki: (Whispers) Yeah.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "All: Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four...", "Lily: Oh, jeez. Get my coat.

Uh...", "Adam: Here you go.", "Anita: Thanks.", "Adam: You're welcome. But let's be honest. You're way too young to be a grandmother, right?

Johnny and Katie, too.", "Chelsea: Why don't you go to Victoria's now, say hi to the kids while I get dressed?", "Billy: Oh, come with me.", "Chelsea: Billy, I don't have to be connected to your side every single time you go to Victoria's. Besides, I need to make myself presentable while I wait for my mom.", "Billy: You could show up to that place in a sack and be the most beautiful woman in the room. You sure you're coming?", "Chelsea: Yes, I am completely sure. I am ending my year with you. So go say hi to your kids. Besides, Victoria has somebody else to be kissing at midnight while I'm kissing you. See you.", "Stitch: You look amazing.", "Ashley: Thank you. You look freshly showered.", "Stitch: Yeah, well, you know, I like a good, hot shower. [Chuckles] Sorry. Look, I thought I'd take advantage of my time off and get a workout in.", "Ashley: That's what you're doing for New Year's Eve, huh?", "Stitch: Yeah. I'm gonna pass on the party for a quiet celebration at home.", "Ashy: Nice. With Victoria?", "Stitch: Yeah. Yeah.", "Ashley: Don't do it. Don't. Come on. You can't be uncomfortable with me, all right? We're adults, and it was just one night. Granted, it was a great night, but let's just move on, okay? And, uh, I hope you have a great new year.", "Stitch: I hope you have a good one, too. I mean, sounds like it started off right. Did I hear you say someone was meeting you?", "Ashley: Oh, perhaps. I don't know.", "Stitch: [Chuckles] Come on. You're not wearing a dress like that for a girls' night out with Abby.", "Ashley: Right, probably not.", "Joe: I just got your message.", "Ashley: Hi.", "Joe: I assume that was for me.", "Ashley: Yeah. Definitely. Uh, Joe Clark, this is Ben Russell.

Wow. You look stunning.", "Ashley: Thank you. So do you.", "Joe: Shall we?", "Ashley: Yes.", "Victoria: Billy doesn't live a anymore. You know that. But, you know, he was there when , , and he'll always be her dad, just like I'll always be your mom, eve though we can't always be together. Right?", "[Door opens]", "Victoria: Hey.", "Stitch: Happy new", "Victoria: Hi.", "Stitch: Hey.", "Victoria: Oh, Ben, you remember my son, Reed.", "Stitch: I sure do.", "Victoria: [Chuckles]", "Stitch: Nice to see you, I have a son just about your age. His name's Max.", "Reed: Does -- does he live here?", "Stitch: He's in Australia. It's actually already next year over there. He's probably out in the ocean boogie-boarding right now as we speak.", "Victoria: Wow. Cause, well, you know, it's the other side of the world, so it's Summer there now", "Stitch: Hey, you know, Max sent me some pretty cool videos. See?", "Reed: Oh, yeah, that'd be cool.", "Stitch: Check them out.", "Victoria: Well, it looks like you've wowed my son into the idea of celebrating New Year's on the", "Stitch: Yeah? Maybe next year?", "Victoria: I like the sound of that. Next year.", "Stitch: Yeah. We've got nothing but time. Hey.", "Billy: Just in time.", "Chelsea: Well, why didn't you answer your phone? Isis way you only have to nag me about being late once. Besides, that treat for Connor.", "Chelsea: Aww. Cute.", "Anita: Mm-hmm", "Billy: Got to admit, any boy would love to get that.", "Anita: Well, that said.", "Chelsea: Who's he? Dylan?", "Anita: This rich, handsome, young man who picked it out and then insisted on buying it for me.", "Billy: How young?", "Anita: Old enough to know a good thing when he sees it. He was flirting shamelessly with me. Even have to use Connor as bait.", "Chelsea: Well, thanks for tearing yourself away from all the action, Mother.", "Anita: Anything for my little Connor.", "Chelsea: If you want to say hi, he's upstairs, but no treats until tomorrow.", "Anita: You party pooper. It's New Year's. Be o one cupcake.", "Chelsea: One cupcake that will keep him awake until New Year's Day. I have to change. Um, I'll meet you at the party?", "Anita: What? You're not going together?", "Chelsea: Well, Billy wants to wish the kids a happy new year. Bye. See you soon.", "Anita: Yeah, I know the ball doesn't drop for a few more hours, but, um, come here.", "Billy: So, does this mean we're starting the new year with a clean slate?", "Anita: Yeah, I still have my doubts about your loyalty to my daughter, especially with an ex waiting in the wings.", "Billy: Anita --", "Anita: But I can't deny that you put a smile on Chelsea's face. And after she lost Adam, I never thought I'd see her happy again. Okay?", "Summer: I wasn't gonna get a new dress for the party at the underground because Austin and I are sticking to a budget, so I was gonna wear this old one, but it makes me look like a little girl. Can we do something to it?", "Phyllis: Yeah. No. This is a disaster.", "Summer: Mom, what am I gonna do?", "Phyllis: Just calm down. I have a dress for you upstairs.", "Summer: You do?", "Phyllis: Yeah, you're gonna love it. It's sleek and sophisticated.", "Summer: Okay, thank you, thank you. I love you. Can you help me get ready, please?", "Phyllis: Yes! Of course.", "Jack: You know what? It's starting to sound like this may take a little while.", "Summer: I'm sorry.", "Jack: Don't be. Don't be. I still have some end-of-the-year paperwork I got to get to the office anyway.", "Phyllis: I'm gonna see you later at the party?", "Jack: Where else would I be tonight but with you?", "Phyllis: Good.", "Jack: Hey, you and Austin have a wonderful new year.", "Summer: Thank you. Love you, too. Jack, wait. Um... whatever happens this year, I just want you to know that this past year, when I needed you most... I-I don't even know how to say it.", "Jack: You know what? I am incredibly grateful I got to be there for you when your mom couldn't.", "Summer: Me, too.", "Joe: Happy New Year.", "Dylan: Joe, you, too.", "Avery: I didn't know you and Ashley were friends.", "Ashley: Well, Joe and I know each other from New York. That's a gorgeous ring. I heard you got engaged. Congratulations.", "Avery: Thank you. Has Joe tried to enlist you yet in his redevelopment project?", "Dylan: Uh, we're here to celebrate New Year's. Let's put business on the backburner.", "Avery: Yeah.", "Cane: Guys, welcome. Come in. Have a drink. Let's go. Come on.", "Ashley: Okay.", "Dylan: I'll grab us a drink.", "Avery: Good. You knew each other in New York?", "Joe: Is there a problem with that?", "Avery: No, I just hope you're not using Ashley to push my buttons.", "Joe: She's a beautiful, successful woman in her own right. Give us some credit.", "Avery: Okay.", "Joe: However, if I was trying to push your buttons, it looks like I was successful.", "Billy: So, how are you liking your very first New Year's Eve, Katie? Take it all in, because if you should happen to be awake at midnight, it will be the very last time you see the ball drop till you're 18.", "Victoria: I don't know about that. She might stay up just to see her dad all dressed up.", "Billy: You think?", "Victoria: Well, you always knew how to wear a suit. Not that there's anything wrong with the all-natural look.", "Stitch: [Laughs] That's right. I'll concede a suit and tie to Billy. I prefer jeans and boots while I'm sitting here hanging with Reed, right?", "Billy: Uh, look, I'm gonna go upstairs and give Johnny a hug before I head out for the party, okay?", "Victoria: Okay.", "Billy: Got her?", "Victoria: Listen, do you think maybe you have time for one video game?", "Billy: Uh, God, I was kind of hoping you wouldn't mention that. I-I can't play... 'cause Reed has gotten way too good!", "Reed: I'm gonna slam you!", "Billy: Don't count on it, buddy.", "Victoria: Thank you, Billy.", "Billy: No thanks necessary. I love him.", "Victoria: So...", "Stitch: So...", "Victoria: Are you gonna let me thank you?", "Stitch: Thank me? For what?", "Victoria: Oh, you know, for being so great with Reed and for playing nice with Billy.", "Stitch: Nah. It's easy.", "Victoria: Dealing with Billy? You've never said that before.", "Stitch: [Scoffs] Everything's easier. Maybe it's because I'm starting this new year happier than I've been in a long time.", "[Katie coughs]", "Victoria: Oh, no. She spit up again. She feels really warm. Ben, I think something's wrong.", "Stitch: Let me see.", "Avery: You did push my buttons, Joe.", "Joe: Longing for days past?", "Avery: I'm annoyed.", "Joe: At me.", "Avery: At myself. I'm wondering if I ever really knew the man that I married.", "Joe: We knew each other better than we've ever known anyone else. Now, if you excuse me, my date's waiting.", "Dylan: Here you go.", "Avery: Hey.", "Dylan: It seemed like it bothered you that he was with Ashley.", "Avery: No, I don't care who he dates.", "Dylan: Then what is it?", "Avery: It's regret that I married him before I found you. And I hope for Ashley's sake she doesn't get too involved, personally or professionally, in Joe Clark. The man thinks the world revolves around him. Come on.", "Joe: Thank you. Miss me?", "Ashley: I did. Terribly.", "Joe: And now that I'm back?", "Ashley: Little curious. Why, when we met in New York, didn't you tell me about Avery?", "Joe: Well, it's a part of my life I don't like to dwell on. I'm sure you have those moments.", "Ashley: Yeah, I have a few.", "Joe: Then you can understand why I don't want to focus on the past. Tonight is about the future.", "[Glasses clink]", "Cane: How lucky am I that you are coming home with me tonight?", "Lily: Hmm. I was gonna say the same thing about you.", "Cane: Yeah?", "Lily: How are things going here?", "Cane: Excellent. Excellent. So, where you been?", "Lily: Oh, in the office with Kelly. I'm really worried about her. She's been working nonstop to make this party a success.", "Cane: That's probably a good thing so it'll keep her mind off of Jack and Phyllis when all the kissing starts. Speaking of which, come here.", "Lily: Ooh. Uh, you know what? Maybe I should warn him.", "Cane: [Sighs] What are you gonna say?", "Lily: I don't know. Something. I have a really bad feeling about this.", "Phyllis: It's perfect.", "Summer: [Chuckles]", "Phyllis: I knew it would be. It looks great on you.", "Summer: I love it.", "Phyllis: [Sighs]", "Summer: What is it? Is there still not something right? Is it the hem?", "Phyllis: No. It's just another one of those moments slapping me between the eyes.", "Summer: What?", "Phyllis: What a beautiful young woman my little girl has become.", "Summer: Are you gonna cry?", "Phyllis: No! I do not cry.", "Summer: You cannot cry, because then I'm gonna start bawling and then my makeup's gonna get ruined.", "Phyllis: [Laughs]", "Summer: Please don't.", "Phyllis: Gosh, you know what this reminds me of?", "Summer: It reminds me of the last time we were together before...", "Phyllis: Yeah. We were getting ready for the M.S. Event.", "Summer: And we were doing our model walks. Do you remember that?", "Phyllis: Ooh, phyllissia, the greatest model ever on the planet.", "Summer: [Laughs] You know, I remember every moment of that night.", "Phyllis: [Sniffles]", "Summer: After you got so sick, I would just think about it over and over again.", "Phyllis: That couldn't have happened at a worse time.", "Summer: I was still getting used to being Jack's daughter, and I was -- I was still trying to get over Kyle.", "Phyllis: Yeah.", "Summer: You were in the hospital, and I just... [Sighs]", "Phyllis: It's over now.", "Summer: I can't believe I'm sitting here talking and laughing with you. We lost so much time in between.", "Phyllis: I know. And I have complained enough about that for all of us. But in a few short hours, we're gonna say hello to a brand-new year.", "Summer: What do you want this year to look like?", "Phyllis: Oh, what do I want it to look like? I want to marry Jack. And I want to spend more time playing dress-up with you.", "Summer: [Chuckles]", "Phyllis: And I want to have fun at work and never waste another minute. What about you, honey? What do you want?", "Summer: I want to spend more time with Austin. And I don't want to hear anything about it.", "Phyllis: You know what? It's your life. You get to live it the way you want to.", "Summer: Really?", "Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Which, of course, is really only my way.", "Summer: [Chuckles] Oh, you never change.", "Phyllis: Honey, wonderful things lie ahead for both of us. Come here.", "Summer: [Sighs]", "Adam: I did check on Constance before I left. She was sleeping. Well, look, sage, if something changes, just, you know, pick up the phone. I know what I'm doing, okay? I didn't go to all this trouble to become Gabriel Bingham so that somebody could figure out who I was. Not my brother, not anybody. Goodbye.", "Jack: Is this how you keep your promise to start a new and better life? Skulking around here?", "Adam: It's not skulking, Jack. I'm blending in, you know, as your business associate. That is how you introduced me to Billy, right? I mean, let's not forget. It's him that we're protecting --", "Jack: I don't need a reminder, thanks.", "Adam: Well, I'm just keeping you honest. You know what we should do in the new year? Um, we should figure out a way that you and I can work together. Come up with a plan.", "Kelly: Good evening, gentlemen.", "Lily: You know what? I should go over there.", "Cane: Uh, maybe you should let Jack take care of this.", "Kelly: Happy New Year, Jack.", "Jack: Thank you.", "Kelly: Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend here?", "Jack: Um, this is --", "Adam: Gabriel Bingham.", "Kelly: Happy New Year, Gabriel. Nice to meet you.", "Jack: This is Kelly Andrews.", "Kelly: Thank you. I'm the club's special-event coordinator.", "Adam: Really?", "Kelly: Mm-hmm.", "Adam: This is great, though. I mean, you've outdone yourself. Wonderful party.", "Kelly: Thank you.", "Adam: Thanks for letting me tag along. Appreciate it. Well, um, I'm gonna go -- go check out the spread.", "Kelly: Oh, please do. Enjoy.", "Adam: Thank you.", "Kelly: Yeah. Ooh, champagne. Thank you. What's the matter, Jack? Does being alone with me make you uncomfortable?", "Kelly: If you think I'm gonna throw a drink in Phyllis' face or yours, you can relax. I have to admit I thought it, but then that would be a real waste of good champagne, wouldn't it? Where is your date?", "Jack: On her way. Uh, you seem to be handling things pretty well, pretty upbeat.", "Kelly: Well, what choice do I have? Can't do anything about the events of the this next year could be full of all kinds of unexpected surprises.", "Ashley: Hello, how are you?", "Kelly: Oh, hi. Um, just a little busy, but hopefully that'll all pay off when everybody has a wonderful.. excuse me.", "Billy: I I'd like you to meet my friend, Joe Clark. This is my brother, Jack Abbott.", "Jack: How do you do?", "Joe: Pleasure to finally meet you, Jack. Just the type of forward-thinking businessman I've been looking for.", "Dylan: Avery?", "Avery: Hmm?", "Dylan: I thought we were gonna keep the schmoozing to a minimum, unless you changed your mind.", "Avery: Yep, I changed my mind. I'm allowed to do that one more time this year.", "Dylan: But I thought tonight was gonna be about us.", "Avery: It is about us. I know it's about us. But look over there. Joe is now chatting up Jack.", "Dylan: We're not gonna change anybody's mind. We got to get them to our turf. Crimson Lights is great home-field advantage.", "Avery: You're right. You're right. And this is not how I want to start our 2015. Can we get out of here? Okay.", "Ashley: Joe and I were friends when I was in New York.", "Joe: And I'd like to think that we've renewed that friendship.", "Jack: So, what brings you to town, Joe?", "Joe: Commercial real estate. I'm working on a redevelopment project down at the warehouse district. In fact, cane and I are hosting an event here at the club to explain the merits of the project, and I'd like to extend a personal invite for you to be my guest, Jack.", "Jack: Well, thanks. It sounds interesting. Would -- would you excuse me, please? Have you guys maybe seen --", "Lily: Kelly went that way.", "Jack: I saw Kelly briefly. Uh, no, this is a friend of mine who came back to town.", "Cane: Does your friend have a name?", "Jack: Gabriel.", "Lily: Like the angel?", "Jack: Not exactly.", "Chelsea: Connor's sleeping. I gave him a New Year's kiss.", "Anita: Aww. Too bad he wasn't awake to see how pretty you look.", "Chelsea: Oh, thank you. It's a Chelsea Lawson original.", "Anita: Oh! You're a knockout, baby. But hey, it runs in the family.", "Chelsea: Well, thanks for the good genes, mom.", "Anita: And why don't you put those good genes to work? I mean, don't keep that rich, handsome man waiting for you.", "Chelsea: You really have rich, handsome men on the brain, huh? Did you get that guy's number you met at the coffeehouse?", "Anita: Nah, he didn't ask me quick enough.", "Chelsea: Oh, well, that's his lo-- what are you doing?", "Anita: Just gilding the lily. I'm fussing. You don't need any fixing.", "Chelsea: Okay, okay, okay. Mom, uh, what -- what is it? What's wrong?", "Anita: I want to tell you what I said to Billy.", "Chelsea: Ah. Did you manage to insult him somehow? Was it bad?", "Anita: Can you give me a little credit? No, I, uh... I told him how grateful I was for putting a smile back on your face, Chelsea.", "Chelsea: Mom, you really said that?", "Anita: I-I... I guess I'm coming around, honey.", "Chelsea: I guess you really are. Especially considering all the ominous warnings you gave me that Billy was gonna dump me and go back to Victoria.", "Anita: Okay, well, let's keep our fingers crossed.", "Chelsea: No, it is a done deal. Victoria is not a threat anymore. What Billy and I have, it, um, it's got legs. Happy New Year! I love you.", "Anita: I love you.", "Chelsea: Bye.", "Anita: Bye, sweetie. Aww!", "Stitch: There's no reason to worry, Vicki. More than half of all babies have reflux in the first three months.", "Victoria: She does have a temperature.", "Stitch: It's low grade. It'll pass by morning.", "Victoria: Are you sure?", "Stitch: 100%.", "Victoria: So you think I'm overreacting?", "Stitch: These things typically bother the parents more than they do the baby.", "Victoria: How can you be sure?", "Stitch: Years of medical school. I do have a diploma.", "Billy: Look, stitch, no offense, but you're not practicing medicine anymore.", "Victoria: Are you worried, too?", "Billy: I'm her dad, so yeah.", "Stitch: Sure. You know, it never hurts to err on the side of caution.", "Billy: That's -- that's what I'm thinking. Look, she -- she feels warm to me. I'm taking her to urgent care.", "Victoria: Just take this.", "Stitch: Victoria, you should go with Katie, too.", "Victoria: Okay, well, uh, all right. I'll call Hannah and --", "Stitch: What? No, no, no. I'll stay with the boys. No, no, you -- you and Billy go take care of Katie.", "Victoria: Will you let Reed know?", "Stitch: Got -- got it covered. Go on.", "Billy: I know.", "[Door closes]", "Summer: I want to be there when you take off your coat and Jack sees you in that for the first time. I mean, talk about fireworks.", "Phyllis: You know what? If I make any kind of impression at all, it's because I take after my daughter or the other way around.", "Summer: Hmm. Thanks again, Mom.", "Phyllis: You're welcome. Come on. Meet your husband.", "Summer: Okay.", "Phyllis: And tell Austin how much I love the video he made me.", "Summer: I will. And you know what? You tell Jack how lucky he is.", "Phyllis: I will. Deal. Whoo!", "Summer: [Chuckles] Okay.", "Phyllis: Come on.", "Summer: Happy New Year.", "Phyllis: Happy New Year. Bye.", "Summer: Bye.", "Jack: So now I can honestly and unconditionally offer my pledge of forever to you and ask that you do the same to me.", "Phyllis: [Sobs]", "Jack: Red, will you marry me?", "[Cell phone rings]", "Phyllis: Will you please have some patience? I'm on my way.", "Avery: Ah! Our home away from home.", "Dylan: At least for one more New Year's Eve.", "Avery: No, not just for one more New Year's Eve. Not if we have anything to say about it.", "Dylan: Is it selfish of me to want to hold on to what I love?", "Avery: Not at all. We were reminded at Christmas what this place means to us and what it means to so many people in town.", "Dylan: Yeah, I wasn't just talking about this place. You know, the ball doesn't drop in times square any time soon.", "Avery: Mm-hmm. So how will we spend the time?", "[Music plays]", "Dylan: [Sighs] They're playing our song.", "Avery: We don't have a song.", "Dylan: We do now.", "Ashley: Are you looking for Avery? 'Cause I saw that she and Dylan left a little while ago.", "Joe: Wow. Before midnight?", "Ashley: Yeah, well, I guess that's what love will do. Are you disappointed?", "Joe: Not at all. I was looking for your brother.", "Ashley: Really? Why you looking for Jack?", "Joe: Well, he just left right in the middle of my pitch. Is he playing hard to get or is that a family trait?", "Ashley: I'm not playing hard to get. I'm being realistic.", "Joe: You know, it's no secret that I'm attracted to you.", "Ashley: I don't know. I keep hearing this certain conversation we had in New York. It just keeps going over and over in my head.", "Joe: The past rears its ugly head.", "Ashley: You admitted that you were still carrying a torch for your ex, who shall remain nameless, and that you said that you wouldn't stop until you got her back. I'm assuming that was Avery.", "Lily: So, where is Jill and Colin?", "Cane: They went to another party.", "Lily: [Gasps] They don't know what they're missing.", "Cane: No, they don't. The verdict's in -- tonight is a huge success.", "Lily: Don't jinx it, not when Kelly's pulled a vanishing act.", "Cane: All right, now, you need to stop playing mother to Kelly.", "Lily: I am a mother.", "Cane: I know you're a mother. And you know what? I found a sitter to look after the kids tonight.", "Lily: You did?", "Cane: I did. You know what else I found? A room.", "Lily: [Gasps]", "Cane: Upstairs.", "Lily: Uh, I'm a married woman. Are you propositioning me?", "Cane: Absolutely.", "Lily: [Laughs]", "Cane: Come on.", "Chelsea: Hi, guys.", "Cane: Hey.", "Lily: Oh, hey.", "Chelsea: The place looks great.", "Lily: Thank you.", "Chelsea: Uh, have you seen Billy?", "Cane: Uh, no. Haven't seen him.", "Chelsea: Okay. I'll check the bar.", "Cane: See you. Looking for someone?", "Billy: One healthy baby girl home safe and sound in time to celebrate New Year's.", "Victoria: Or sleep through New Year's, you mean.", "Billy: [Scoffs] Better here than a cubicle in urgent care. What's that?", "Victoria: Oh, it's a note from Ben. He took the boys to get a New Year's Eve hot cocoa. That's sweet.", "Billy: Well, good. Don't have to listen to him tell me how he was right that Katie just had reflux.", "Victoria: He wouldn't.", "Billy: I would have.", "Victoria: Oh, I know.", "Billy: [Chuckles]", "Victoria: I'm just glad it was nothing serious.", "Billy: Me, too. But no champagne for you, young lady.", "Victoria: Yeah, not for the next 21 years.", "Billy: Oh. Did you hear that? You can see who's gonna be the enforcer parent.", "Victoria: Oh, really? Well, we'll just wait until she has her first date, and then we'll see who's the enforcer parent.", "Billy: I'm not gonna have a problem with her dating.", "Victoria: [Chuckles]", "Billy: When she's 30.", "Victoria: Right. Don't worry. Mommy will keep daddy from scaring away all your boyfriends.", "Billy: You're killing me.", "Victoria: [Chuckles] This is nice, you know, sitting here laughing. Very different from last year's New Year's Eve.", "Billy: Yeah. But here we are, both happy. Maybe not, um, how we imagined, but, uh...", "Victoria: But, uh, we have the one thing that we wanted more than anything. I think that's something.", "Billy: That's everything.", "Kelly: Don't tell me your fiancée's a no-show.", "Jack: I just spoke to Phyllis. She's on her way.", "Kelly: Ah. Then we have a little time to talk.", "Phyllis: What? What? What the hell? What is going on? No. No. I am not out of gas. No, no, not in the middle of nowhere. No. No! Not on New Year's Eve! Let's go! Come on!", "Chelsea: Hey.", "Adam: Hey. You're, uh, you're Connor's mom, right? I saw you at the park the other day.", "Chelsea: How did you remember my son's name? That's impressive.", "Adam: Thank you. Well, he made quite an impression. Yeah. So, uh, where is he, anyway? That little guy?", "Chelsea: Oh, you know, he left his tux at the dry cleaners, so he's spending the night with grandma.", "Adam: All right, well, that's good. So it looks like we're both alone then, huh?", "Chelsea: Oh, uh, not really.", "Adam: Oh. Okay. You waiting for your husband?", "Chelsea: Not my husband. He's, uh, he's... well, we're still trying to figure that out. [Chuckles]", "Adam: Okay. Well, what's to figure out?", "Chelsea: No, I mean, I'm -- I'm waiting for somebody. It's just that it's complicated.", "Adam: Well, it would have to be complicated, wouldn't it?", "Chelsea: Why do you say that?", "Adam: Well, because you're here and you're waiting for a man that's not your husband, but, uh, yet you're wearing a wedding ring.", "[NEXT_ON]", "Nikki: Oh, my God. Paul.", "Paul: You lied to me, Nikki.", "Adam: To the new year and uh...new friendships.", "Chelsea: Hear, hear.", "All: Happy New Year!" ]

That's why we held my compact mirror up to his face to see if he was breathing.", "Connor: Let's check again. He's still alive.", "Chelsea: [ Sighs, chuckles ]", "Adam: Well, we should probably take him to the emergency vet now.", "Chelsea: Yeah.", "Connor: No. We can't take him out in the cold again, not until he warms up.", "Adam: [ Sighs ]", "Connor: Oh, come on. Wake up...oliver.", "Adam: [ Sighs ]", "Chelsea: [ Sighs ]", "Tessa: Okay, how do we find out who these belong to?", "Mariah: Oh. Oh, I got it.", "Tessa: Okay.", "Mariah: I got it. We can dust it for fingerprints.", "Tessa: Oh, yeah, we could get a kit from, uh, the spy shop that's miraculously open on christmas?", "Mariah: No. No. Rey has got to have one and we can borrow his and then we can compare the fingerprints to the ones in the police database.", "Tessa: Blamo! The gift-giver is also a criminal.", "Mariah: That is a very good point. Right, um... I'm not even sure that's legal also. But at least we'd be breaking the law for good, not evil.", "Tessa: Yeah, we're trying to create a christmas miracle.", "Theo: Or you could check the presents for tags. Remind me to never hire the P.I. Firm of copeland and porter. No tags.", "Tessa: [ Sighs ]", "Mariah: I don't what we could do. We could see where this type of wrapping paper is sold.", "Tessa: Oh, that's great.", "Theo: Or we don't do that, and instead, we ask around to see if anyone saw who left the bag.", "Tessa: Well, we already did that.", "Mariah: You know what? We don't need your help, scrooge of common sense and logic. What are you even doing here, anyway? Why aren't you anywhere else?", "Tessa: Wait. Yeah. It's christmas. What are you doing here alone?", "Theo: I'm in between get-togethers, ladies. So you're lucky I have a few minutes to help you.", "Mariah: Oh, right, right. Step aside, ladies. Let the big, strong man figure it out. You're not gonna discover a magical clue in like five seconds. Oh.", "Theo: Yep. Looks like victor is missing a few gifts under the tree.", "Victor: Well, look what we have here now. My goodness.", "Nikki: I was coming back from a ride, and I saw this basket on a bale of hay. I mean, I can't imagine how she got there. A beautiful baby girl abandoned on christmas. It just breaks my heart.", "Victor: Poor baby. Look at that. Look at those cheeks. Well, she's safe now.", "Nikki: Well, it's a good thing I came along when I did and that the stables are heated. But I -- I don't know if she's healthy or -- she really needs to be seen by a doctor.", "Victor: Should we call the paramedics?", "Nikki: Oh, no, darling, don't do that. The paramedics will be required to call child protective services, and I -- I can't let her go into the system today of all days.", "Victor: Look at this. Look at you. Look at that. Yes. Yes. I have an idea.", "Elena: So, I guess that's that.", "Nate: I guess we'll have to agree to disagree when it comes to amanda.", "Elena: Okay. Happy holidays.

Is everything okay?", "Victor: Uh, nate, I wouldn't be calling you on christmas unless it were urgent, okay?", "Nate: What's wrong? Is it your blood pressure?", "Victor: No, nothing to do with that, nothing to do with me, but we have a situation here at the ranch that I think you should -- you should take a look at.", "Nate: What? I don't understand. Okay. Alright. I'll be right there.", "Elena: Is everything okay with victor?", "Nate: Yeah, he's fine.&", "Elena: Okay. Well, I'll see you later.", "Nate: Wait. I have to go to the ranch. Do you think you can come with me? I could use your help.", "Kevin: Don't take this the wrong way, but santa's usually a little more...jolly. So, what can we do to put you in a better mood?", "Santa: Well, I'm not sure.", "Chloe: Well, why don't you tell us what the problem is?", "Santa: The problem is it's christmas.", "Kevin: Isn't that, like, the best day of the year for you?", "Santa: Well, yes, of course it is. I look forward to it the other 364 days, and I start preparing months before. Like around october, I start putting on a few pounds.", "Kevin: Well, to be fair, we all do that. The fall 15.", "Chloe: [ Clears throat ]", "Kevin: No. Just me.", "Santa: And I grow my beard to exactly the right length -- five inches.", "Kevin: The perfect length for the kids to pull on it?", "Santa: Yes.", "Kevin: [ Chuckles ]", "Chloe: [ Chuckles ]", "Santa: Then I buy a bright, new suit, shiny red with a brass buckle that I shine with a special polish I order from denmark.", "Chloe: Wow. I mean, that is dedication. Do you think that would work on candle holders?", "Santa: I'll give you the name of the company.", "Chloe: Thank you.", "Santa: You know, I look forward to doing my best for the kids because I know they'll have the memory of meeting santa for the rest of their lives.", "Kevin: That's very true. I still remember my childhood santa.", "Chloe: Well, I am sure that they appreciate the commitment -- the kids. And parents, too.", "Santa: Well, it's 12 to 15 hours a day at fenmore'S. But, honestly, I love every second of it. I come to enjoy it more every year.", "Kevin: So, I still don't know what the problem is.", "Santa: I look forward to christmas for the same reasons that you folks do -- to hear people caroling and kids laughing and their smiles everywhere. But then suddenly...it's over. Everyone else just moves on. But for me, it's kind of -- well, it's devastating. My special job and my purpose is over until next year.", "Mariah: Alright, good job on finding the logo. But there's no way that these presents are for victor's family. I mean, for one, it doesn't make any sense why they would be at society.", "Tessa: Mnh-mnh. Victor would definitely notice if his family's gifts were gone. And the second that happened, he would have an army of security guards combing the city for them.", "Mariah: Maybe it's just a random person who came across a discarded newman enterprises bag and decided to use it for their own presents.", "Tessa: Oh! I remembered something. Newman had their office christmas party here. Lola told me about it.", "Theo: Well, there's your answer. These gifts are probably corporate swag the company gave out at the party, you know, clocks or paperweights with the newman logo embossed on them.", "Tessa: That would mean that these aren't toys and there are no kids waiting for them.", "Mariah: Which is a very depressing theory.", "Theo: You have a better one?", "Mariah: Not at the moment.", "Theo: Wait. If these are christmas presents for newman executives, there might actually be something in here better than paperweights, like a gold watch or a tablet. I mean, that's what rich folks like to do -- you know, give each other fancy things they can already afford on their own.", "Mariah: Mm. And you aspire to be one of these rich, fancy folks?", "Theo: If you are implying that I'm shallow, I resent that. But I do think we should open one just in case.", "Tessa: Well, if it is a gold watch, are you planning on keeping it?", "Theo: My old pocket watch is terrible at keeping time.", "Mariah: Hey, no, no, no, no, no! Hey! Give it back. We are not opening one of these.", "Tessa: You are just trying to bait us, as usual. But that's not gonna work today.", "Mariah: So can we please get back to figuring out what to do with these presents?", "Theo: You know, I guess being an elf isn't as easy as it looks.", "Victor: Thank you for coming, nate. I know this is a lot to ask.", "Nikki: Yes. She wasn't crying when I found her, but I have no idea how long she was there -- oh, baby -- or the last time when she ate.", "Nate: I have to admit, this is an unusual situation.", "Nikki: Oh, yes, I know. That's why we wanted to avoid contacting...", "[ Baby crying ]", "Victor: Oh, baby.", "Nikki: ...[Gasps] Child protective services at least till tomorrow, provided she's healthy.", "Nate: We'll know if we need to take her in as soon as we examine her.", "Nikki: Can I hold her while you do that?", "Nate: Oh, sure.", "Nikki: Come here, precious. Ohh, I know.", "Victor: Look at that.", "Nikki: I know.", "[ Baby crying ] [ Gasps ] Ohh.", "Victor: Look at that.", "Nikki: [ Gasps ] Here we are.

That's right. You're okay. That's right.", "Nikki: Alright. Alright.", "Victor: That's right.", "Connor: We're here to help you, oliver. Please wake up.", "Chelsea: I made hot chocolate.", "Adam: Ooh!", "Chelsea: Who wants some?", "Adam: That sounds perfect.", "Connor: I'm not thirsty. But what if oliver is?", "Adam: He's sleeping. But you know what we could do? We could maybe put some milk in a little saucer for him.", "Connor: For when he wakes up.", "Adam: Mm-hmm.", "Connor: Good idea.", "Adam: Yeah.", "Chelsea: [ Sighs ]", "Adam: So... what if oliver doesn't wake up?", "Chelsea: I don't want to even think about that. Honey, does he look any better to you?", "Adam: No, not really. No, his heartbeat seems even lighter than it was before.", "Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Connor's already so attached to this kitten. We have to do our best to save him. I mean, he will not be able to handle it if something happens to this kitten.", "Adam: Well, we have to hope for the best. But we also have to prepare him for the worst-case scenario.", "Connor: Is he awake?", "Chloe: I thought you could use a little pick-me-up.", "Santa: Why, thank you. I'm sorry if I was yammering on before.", "Chloe: Oh, please. You don't have to apologize.", "Santa: You know, I'm not sure why I shared all that with you two. You do have friendly faces.", "Chloe: [ Chuckles ] Well, people just naturally warm up to kevin. He -- he is the most generous person you'll ever meet, really.", "Santa: It's nice to see two people so in love.", "Chloe: [ Chuckles ] I am very lucky. So, is there a mrs. Claus?", "Santa: There was, but she left me.", "Chloe: Oh. I'm s-- I'm so sorry.", "Santa: For our marriage counselor. But they're divorced now, so I win.", "Chloe: [ Laughs ] What do you do the rest of the year for a living?", "Santa: I'm an accountant.", "Chloe: Oh. Do you have a family? Do you have kids?", "Santa: My wife and never had them, but I always wanted to. You know, maybe that's why i love seeing the kids' eyes light up so much at this time of year.", "Chloe: [ Chuckles ]", "Santa: They have this innocence that's, well, so pure. It lifts your spirits, you know.", "Chloe: Yeah, I do know. I feel the same way when I look at my daughter.", "Santa: Mm.", "Chloe: Maybe that's why you enjoy the holidays so much -- 'cause you feel a little less lonely.", "Santa: Well, I'm sure that's probably true. You know, I wish christmas was just all year round so that i could follow it around the world like the seasons, like when it's summer here, it's christmas in australia or...", "Chloe: [ Chuckles ] Hey, you know, I've heard of those year-round christmas theme stores. Maybe there's even a whole town.", "Santa: Hmm. I should think about moving there.", "Chloe: [ Chuckles ] You know, I know what it's like to feel lonely. There were times that I was so trapped in my head that I had feelings I just couldn't shake. And even when I was surrounded by people, I still felt alone. But I was able to put it behind me, and now I feel the opposite of lonely.", "Santa: Wow. I hope to feel that way someday.", "Chloe: Well, um... how about now?", "Ralphie: Santa, I love you!", "Santa: [ Laughs ] Well, merry christmas! What's your name?", "Ralphie: Ralphie. And here's my list -- a skateboard and a new bike, a basketball --", "Santa: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. First off, you have to tell me -- have you been naughty or nice?", "Ralphie: Mm...it depends on who you ask.", "Santa: [ Laughs ]", "Nikki: I can't stop thinking about the baby's parents.", "Victor: Sweetheart.", "Nikki: What could have happened to make them walk away from their child?", "Victor: Well, I guess it could have been any number of things.", "Nikki: [ Sighs ] We need to find the mother to let her know she doesn't have to do that.", "Victor: I know. [ Intercom buzzes ] Yes? Of course. Bring her in. Right now. Thank you.", "Nikki: Is it her?", "Victor: They found a woman, a young woman, on the south end of the property trying to find a way out.", "Nikki: [ Exhales heavily ]", "Sasha: Joy!

I'm here now.", "[ Sniffles ] \"The young and the restless\" will continue.", "Victor: Thank you, james.", "Nikki: What's your name, dear?", "Sasha: Sasha. And this is joy.", "Nikki: Oh. Well, I want you to know that nobody here is judging you. We just want to help if we can.", "Sasha: Thank you.", "Nikki: Can you tell us what happened?", "Sasha: I'm not sure where to start.", "Nikki: Why don't you start at the beginning? Um, joy's father isn't in the picture, and I've had some health issues, so I haven't been able to work. It got to the point where we were tossed out of our apartment and living in an abandoned car.", "Nikki: Oh, my goodness. That just must have been awful. And you don't have any family you could stay with?", "Sasha: My parents passed away, and my siblings can't take us in, so... I just felt like my whole life was falling apart. And I couldn't take my sweet baby down with me. So today I made a decision. And I came to this sprawling property with the high gates.", "Nikki: This must seem like another world.", "Sasha: I assumed you had money and resources and that you could probably figure out a way to give joy a better life than I could because she deserves so much more than I've been able to give her.", "Nikki: Don't underestimate what you've given her. The first and most important thing is love.", "Sasha: I know that now. The moment I walked away from her [Sighs] I felt my heart break in a way that I didn't even know was possible. I only got as far as the train station before I turned around to come back.", "Nikki: Oh, that's when the guards found you?", "Sasha: Yes. I wasn't trying to leave the property. I was coming back for joy. [ Sniffles ] Oh, I don't know how she'll ever forgive me.", "Nikki: She will never know. Now you just have to forgive yourself.", "Sasha: I don't know if I can. I've failed at being a mother. And nothing about our situation has changed. I still don't know if I can take care of her. I don't know how to crawl out of this hole that I'm in.", "Victor: There's always a way. One step at a time.", "Nikki: You came to the right house for help today.", "Victor: You certainly did.", "Nikki: I have a connection with a charity that helps people get back on their feet. Um, it actually got started on a different christmas day. I met a young mother in need. Her name was kathy. So, anyway, it would mean so much to me if we could help you.", "Sasha: What do I have to do?", "Nikki: Just say yes.", "Tessa: I guess we should take the bag to victor's house. It is christmas.

As always, theo, it has been a treat.", "Theo: Likewise. Hmm?", "Tessa: I think he might really be all alone.", "Mariah: Tess, how is that our problem? Okay. Fine. Hey, theo. Would you like to come along with us? Maybe victor will give you a reward for returning his presents.", "Theo: It's tempting, but i have a cup of eggnog with my name on it.", "Tessa: That's your big plan for the day?", "Theo: Hey, I told you I've got plans. There's just not till later, so I've got some time to kill.", "Mariah: He said he's got plans.", "Theo: Because I do. Go. Enjoy your good deed. I'll be celebrating in style. I promise you that.", "Mariah: Merry christmas.", "Theo: Merry christmas.", "Mariah: Alright.", "Connor: I'm right here. Open your eyes. You can do it.", "Chelsea: Connor, can you come here, please?", "Connor: I need to stay with oliver.", "Adam: Connor, this won't take long. Come on.", "Chelsea: Come here. We just want to tell you we are so proud of you. You saw an animal in need, and your first instinct was to help him.", "Adam: Mm-hmm. You took the lead, and you insisted on saving him, okay, even if it is...too late.", "Connor: Don't say that. It's not too late.", "Chelsea: Well, no, what we're saying is what you've done for the kitten and what you continue to do is so sweet.", "Adam: Yes, and whatever happens today, just know that you did everything you could to save him, okay?", "Connor: What do you mean, \"whatever happens\"?", "Chelsea: Sweetheart, we just -- we don't know how long he was outside in the cold. So, it might have been too long for his little body to handle. It might just be his time.", "Connor: No, he's going to be okay.", "Chelsea: Connor, sweetie, we need to face the facts that the kitten might not wake up.", "Connor: Stop saying that.", "Adam: Connor, we're just trying to prepare you, okay?", "Connor: Stop it, dad.", "Adam: Connor.", "Connor: No. I mean it. Shh.

We think this belongs to you. And that concludes our christmas good deed for the day. So, you're welcome.", "Victor: What's all this?", "Mariah: Uh, well, we think that this is a bag of employee gifts that was left at society after the office party.", "Victor: No, no, no, no, no. They weren't meant as corporate gifts. You know, these are gifts for -- presents for the kids in the pediatric wing of the hospital.", "Mariah: Then something went very wrong.", "Victor: Someone really screwed up big time. I gave very specific instructions.", "Tessa: So, you're saying these are toys for sick kids?", "Victor: Yeah. My god. Of all days. Um, hmm. Well, the children are gonna be very disappointed.", "Mariah: Well, we could, um -- we could deliver them for you.", "Tessa: Yeah, we could totally do that.", "Mariah: We would love to.", "Victor: Would you do that?", "Mariah: Absolutely.", "Victor: Yeah? That's very kind of you. Want me to pay you?", "Mariah: No, no. Please. Just seeing the kids' faces -- that's gonna be reward enough.", "Victor: Well, that's so kind of you. I really appreciate it. Okay? Merry christmas to both of you.", "Mariah: Merry christmas, victor.", "Tessa: Merry christmas.", "Victor: And thank you.", "Tessa: So, since we're on a roll, you want to throw one more good deed into the mix?", "Mariah: As long as it's not --", "Tessa: Asking theo if he wants to go to the hospital?", "Mariah: I think that falls outside of our elf-ly jurisdiction. And besides, he said that he had a party to get to.", "Tessa: Okay.", "[ Both groan, laugh ]", "Chloe: [ Chuckling ] He is so happy.", "Kevin: You were right. This christmas keeps getting better and better.", "Chloe: And it's not over yet.", "Kevin: What does that mean?", "Chloe: Let's just say I have one or two things up my sleeve.", "Santa: You know, I'm usually the one who gives out gifts this time of year, but today you two gave me one I will never forget.", "Kevin: Well, I'm glad we could help.", "Chloe: We are just so thrilled to see you smiling again.", "Kevin: And I had another thought about your situation. There's a children's center in town that caters to families that can't afford daycare. Maybe you could volunteer there.", "Chloe: Oh, yeah, that's a great idea. I know they're always looking for people.", "Kevin: Yeah, just something to think about.", "Santa: I don't need to think about it. It's perfect. And thank you again. Merry christmas, you two.", "Chloe: Merry christmas, santa.", "Kevin: And, hey, uh... what's your real name? In case we ever run into you.", "Santa: [ Whispering ] It's frank.", "Chloe: [ Chuckles ]", "Kevin: His name's frank.", "Chloe: Ahh. I think we really helped him out today.", "Kevin: Mm-hmm. Since our work here is done, should we get home to bella? She's probably getting up from her nap now.", "Chloe: Uh, yeah. One more minute. 'Cause I still have one more gift to give you.", "Chelsea: I think he didn't want to miss out on christmas.", "Adam: [ Chuckles ]", "Connor: Yeah.", "Adam: And you stuck by him. And you wouldn't give up.", "Chelsea: Hi.", "Adam: But, hey, I think we definitely need to take him to the vet now.", "Chelsea: Yeah.", "Adam: Yeah.", "Connor: I'm going to get my allowance. Maybe there's a donation box to help pay for sick kitten like oliver that don't have anyone else.", "Chelsea: That's a really nice idea. And if they don't have one there, we can donate your allowance to an animal rescue shelter. That is not the same boy who locked christian in a garage. He's really turned a corner.", "Adam: [ Sighs ] I think so.", "Chelsea: Ooh.", "Adam: Thanks to you.", "Chelsea: Thanks to the both of us.", "Adam: Mm.", "Chelsea: And, listen, I know I debated whether or not i should be here this morning, but I'm really glad I stayed. This is where I needed to be.", "Adam: Well, I won't argue with you about that. I don't know how connor and i would have gotten through this without you.", "Connor: Let's go. Let's go.", "Chelsea: Okay. Okay. Here you go.", "Connor: After the doctor looks at him, we're bringing him home, right?", "Chelsea: Um... well, you'd have to ask your dad since the kitten would be living here.", "Adam: Welcome to the family, oliver!", "Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]", "Adam: Come on. Let's go. Are you coming?", "Chelsea: Yeah. I'm just gonna grab my purse. I'll be right there. Alright. Let's go.", "Kevin: I thought we opened up all our presents this morning.", "Chloe: We did.

I'm Sharon.", "Stitch: Dylan has told me only good things about you. Nice to meet you, Sharon.", "Sharon: Thank you. Nice to meet you, too. So I just, uh, wanted to wish him a happy new year.", "Stitch: I'll pass it along when I hear from him. So I see you're getting your caffeine fix. Big party tonight?", "Sharon: Oh, yeah. Huge. Me and takeout and a good book.", "Stitch: [Chuckles]", "[Guitar playing discordantly]", "Nick: My fingers don't even bend this way.", "[Knock on door]", "Nick: [Sighs]", "Abby: Merry Christmas!", "Nick: Merry Christmas.", "Abby: Hey!", "Nick: Hey. Aren't you a little late?", "Abby: I'm on California time.", "Nick: Though that was only two hours behind.", "Abby: Do you want your gifts or not?", "Nick: Ooh, Santa's elves are a little grumpy.", "Abby: What are you doing?", "Nick: Uh, online guitar lessons for beginners.", "Abby: Uh, how long have I been gone? 'Cause I never in a million years would have guessed that that's what I would find you doing.", "Nick: Well, maybe I'm evolving, Abby.", "Abby: All right, well, I have gifts for you and faith. And then I have one for Noah, which he's gonna love. I got it on Hollywood boulevard.", "Nick: But you didn't get faith's on --", "Abby: No, I got hers at an amusement park. It's pink and sparkly and age- appropriate.", "Nick: Perfect. I take it your trip with Tyler was, too?", "Abby: There was a little mix-up with the key cards, but other than that, yeah, we had an amazing time. I'm just sad that I missed the big Newman Christmas here at the ranch.", "Nick: Oh, well, you didn't miss much. Uh, faith and I went real small this year.", "Abby: Just the two of you?", "Nick: Um... Sharon, too.", "Abby: Who is this Sharon that you speak of? Because the only Sharon that I know is your ex-wife, and you surely didn't spend Christmas, the best day of the year, with your long-lost ex.", "Nick: Actually, I did.", "Abby: Interesting. I can only imagine where she hung her stockings with care.", "Victoria: Billy, are you all right?", "Billy: Yeah, um... I'm just surprised to see you is all. Why aren't you in D.C.?", "Victoria: Because our flights were canceled. That's why I was trying to reach you.", "Billy: I'm sorry. My phone was off.", "Victoria: Well, why was it? You don't have your phone off unless you're in some kind of trouble. Did something happen? Billy, what have you been doing all this time? Something obviously happened. You were all packed and ready to go.", "Billy: Yes, I was.", "Victoria: You didn't know the flights to D.C. had been canceled, so what kept you from coming to the airport?", "Billy: I was all ready to leave, and then I started thinking about spending Christmas with you and Johnny and reed and... Delia not being there. And, uh...", "Victoria: Billy.", "Billy: I just, I, uh, I-I needed to take a walk.", "Victoria: Yeah. That didn't help, so I thought I'd go to a meeting, and, uh, I thought that would help.", "Victoria: Did that help? Because I know Kelly, she's really been there for you through some tough times. I know that.", "Billy: Yeah. I'm sorry you're not gonna get to see reed.", "Victoria: Oh, please don't worry about that. You know, as long as you're okay. Wean reschedule the trip, and maybe it's better that we do, anyway.", "Billy: You sure?", "Victoria: I think that maybe this storm was fate's way of stepping in.", "Billy: What do you mean?", "Victoria: I think it's time that we should be honest with each other, Billy.", "Stitch: Staying in with a book. What kind of new year's eve celebration is that?", "Sharon: Oh, the kind I need after the year I've had.", "Stitch: I've had a few of those years.", "Sharon: Yeah, I just want this one to start out quiet and peaceful, and then hopefully the rest of the year will follow.", "Stitch: Well, good luck. When I hear from Dylan, I'll give him your best.", "Sharon: Where is he?", "Stitch: He had to take care of some things out of town.", "Sharon: Well, please wish him a happy new year for me, stitch.", "Stitch: Will do.", "Sharon: Thanks.", "Stitch: Kelly.", "Kelly: Ben. What are you doing here?", "Neil: Sharon. Hi. I see you got the shooting schedule I sent.", "Sharon: Yeah. Yeah. Everything looks perfect.", "Neil: Ah, good. Well, just wanted to touch base before the first shoot, see how things are going so far. Do you have any questions, suggestions, anything at all?", "Sharon: Neil, it's new year's eve. You must have plans.", "Neil: Yeah. Is that what evening it is? Um, I-I actually -- I do.", "Sharon: You know, this can wait. Why don't we -- why don't we meet after the first of the year?", "Neil: You're sure everything can wait until then?", "Sharon: Yeah. Absolutely.", "Neil: Okay. What are you doing tonight?", "Sharon: That is the question of the evening, and I'm afraid that the answer is not very exciting.", "Neil: Well, Sharon, I'm about to change that.", "Victor: Why are you back?", "Nikki: Why are you avoiding my question?", "Victor: I'm not.", "Nikki: All right, then tell me why you're reaching out to Adam, who has done far worse things than Dylan, by the way, whom you want me to have nothing to do with.", "Victor: [Sighs] I'm worried he's done more despicable things than I want to remember.", "Nikki: Yes.", "Victor: The idea... of my grandson being raised by that man...", "Nikki: Is that why you were calling him, to check on Connor?", "Victor: When I think of that boy being in Adam's hands, it's more than I can abide.", "Nikki: I know that. There's nothing you can do about it.", "Victor: Oh, we'll see about that. Why aren't you home packing?", "Nikki: Well, that's why I came. The pilot called, and there's some big storm on the east coast.", "Victor: No.", "Nikki: We won't be flying anywhere tonight.", "Victor: I was so looking forward to it.", "Nikki: I know. No new year's in Vermont for us.", "Victor: Oh. I was really looking forward to that.", "Nikki: Well, all I want is just to be with you. We can do that here.", "Victor: Then we'll do it here. Okay? We'll build a fire, and we toast the new year.", "Nikki: We could do that. Or I was thinking maybe we could go out. Remember, Neil invited us to the club.", "Victor: That's an idea, but are you up for it?", "Nikki: Absolutely.", "Victor: You are?", "Nikki: It's the start of a new year. I think we should kick it off right.", "Victor: Then that is what we shall do.", "Nikki: Mm.", "Victor: Let me get my coat.", "Nikki: Yes, I think it's going to be quite a year for all of us.", "Victor: I think you're right about that.", "Jack: Boy, you two blow into town a couple hours before midnight. You must have big plans.", "Traci: Yes, we do.", "Ashley: We scored an invitation to a hot party at the club.", "Jack: Ah.", "Ashley: And you are coming with us.", "[Noise maker honks]", "Jack: No, no, no.", "Ashley: Oh, come on.", "Traci: Yes, yes, yes.", "Jack: No, you guys have a great time. I'm gonna have a nice quiet evening here alone by myself.", "Traci: Come on, jack. You've been holed up in this house ever since the --", "Jack: Ever since what?", "Traci: Look, jack, you're always on the phone. If it's not with Phyllis' doctors, it's with your own specialists. You -- you fly to savannah every single weekend to see her.", "Jack: I'm not sure why that's any of your business, but what's wrong with that?", "Ashley: Jackie... you're spending your life searching and hoping. There's a possibility it won't happen, jack.", "Jack: Okay, I appreciate your concern, but I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself.", "Ashley: Jack. You have to start living your life again.", "Jack: My life without Phyllis? Is that what you're saying?", "Traci: We're just worried about you, jack.", "Jack: Well, you have a hell of a way of showing it, getting me to abandon the woman I love.", "Ashley: Abandon her? Of course not.", "Jack: If this is your idea of helping me, maybe you should both go back to new York right now.", "Tyler: That is nice.", "Leslie: Yeah. Go ahead. Say it. I know you're just dying to.", "Tyler: I'm just glad that I'm not the one going all picket fences. And here you said that I was gonna be the first one walking down the aisle.", "Leslie: Okay, let's get this straight. I'm getting married. That doesn't mean that I'll be waiting at the door with Neil's slippers when he comes home from work every night.", "Tyler: So you're saying that tying the knot doesn't change anything for you.", "Leslie: Yeah, I was stupid to think that it would. Neil is a great guy. I can't imagine life without him. So why not make it official?", "Tyler: If you say so.", "Leslie: Anyway, what's going on with you and Abby? How was L.A. Take two?", "Tyler: Oh, it was way better than take one. Yeah. Weather was perfect, the food, the hotels -- everything. Well, almost everything. There was one moment of temporary insanity where Abby, she -- she thought she saw Mariah leaving our hotel room. Yeah, like sneaking out or something.", "Leslie: What?", "Tyler: Yeah. I mean, the hotel clerk, he said that they were having issues with their key cards all day, so I don't know. I figure somebody went in the wrong room.", "Leslie: Yeah, but why would she think it's Mariah?", "Tyler: [Chuckles] She said that she has her own brand of intuition. Yeah. \"Abby-tuition,\" she calls it.", "Leslie: Okay, well, what does your Tyler-tuition say? Was it Mariah?", "Tyler: No. Couldn't be.", "Leslie: Well, I certainly hope not. The last thing you need is your ex-fiancée showing up in your life.", "Tyler: Yeah, well, you know what? It wouldn't even matter. Abby is everything that I've ever wanted in a woman. You know, she's honest, she's open, she's generous. She loves to laugh. She's got the best laugh. The best heart. You know, when I'm with her, I don't want to leave. And when I'm not with her, I think about being with her.", "Leslie: [Chuckles] Oh.", "Tyler: What?", "Leslie: I'm just saying it sounds like you'll be going all picket fences sooner than you think. [Clicks tongue] [Chuckles]", "Abby: You cannot get back together with Sharon.", "Nick: Oh, will you relax? We're just friends.", "Abby: I bet that didn't stop her from trying to put the \"ho ho ho\" back into your Christmas.", "Nick: All right, which of these is for me?", "Abby: I'm beggin you, nick, back away from your ex.", "Nick: She is the mother of my children. I can't just cut her out of my life.", "Abby: Yes, you can. Fine. Stick to co-parenting from a safe distance.", "Nick: All right, if you and Tyler are gonna ring in the new year, you should probably get out of here.", "Abby: Are you trying to get rid of me? You're not going out with her tonight, are you?", "Nick: I already have a date with my guitar. I've already learned the \"c\" chord.", "Abby: Oh.", "Nick: Or a \"G.\"", "Abby: Well, that's cute and kind of pathetic.", "Nick: I just can't win with you.", "Abby: You can't sit home alone on new year's eve. And if you do, I know exactly what's gonna happen.", "Nick: Yeah, I'm gonna become a rock star.", "Abby: No. Sharon's gonna pop in here at 11:59 with some flimsy excuse and an even flimsier outfit.", "Nick: Okay. Let's go.", "Abby: Ugh!", "Nick: Come on. I want you to have a happy new year.", "Abby: Thank you. You too. And if you change your mind, you know where we'll be. We'll be at the club.", "Nick: Tell Tyler I said hello.", "Abby: Come on. Meet us. It'll be fun.", "Nick: If you say. I love you.", "Abby: Love you. Bye.", "Sharon: So, the athletic club?", "Neil: Yep. Leslie and I are gonna be celebrating our engagement.", "Sharon: Oh, my gosh. You and Leslie are getting married? That's wonderful. Congratulations.", "Neil: Thanks. You know, I've walked down the aisle a few times, but this is Leslie's first time. So I want to make tonight perfect and special, you know.", "Sharon: Her first wedding. I bet -- I bet she's so excited right now. I remember back to my first wedding. [Chuckles]", "Neil: Yeah. So what about you? What are you doing tonight?", "Sharon: Oh, I just want to stay home and sit by the fire and have a quiet evening. And you know what? I'm gonna start out tomorrow fresh.", "Neil: I understand. I understand completely. Well, if you change your mind, young lady...", "Sharon: The athletic club.", "Neil: That is where we'll be. Happy new year.", "Sharon: Happy new year.", "Stitch: You didn't answer me. What are you doing in Genoa city?", "Kelly: It's nice to see you, too. I live here. What are you doing here?", "Stitch: Uh, I live here, too.", "Kelly: Are you -- are you a doctor?", "Stitch: I'm a resident at the hospital, yeah.", "Kelly: Oh, well good for you, doctor...oh, wait. What is it? Dr. Rayburn.", "Stitch: Yeah, that's right. You know, I need to get back.", "Kelly: So everyone in town calls you \"dr. Rayburn,\" and no one suspects a thing?", "Billy: You feel I haven't been honest?", "Victoria: No. Not you. Me.", "Billy: What are you talking about?", "Victoria: You have been trying over and over again to tell me what you're going through, and I haven't been honest with you about how I felt.", "Billy: Vick, we don't need to do this right now.", "Victoria: No, I do need to do this.", "Billy: Okay.", "Victoria: When I got home from the airport, your mother stopped by.", "Billy: Well, I'm sure that was helpful. What did she want?", "Victoria: I'm just gonna let her tell you about that later. But she made me realize something.", "Billy: And what's that?", "Victoria: Billy, I have been doing things all wrong. I'm so sorry, but I have. I've been insisting that you spend time with me and Johnny and celebrate the holidays and go on with life.", "Billy: Come on. Just --", "Victoria: You know, the truth of the matter is that I didn't want you to get back to normal life just for your own sake. I didn't let you grieve because I don't know how to deal with the pain myself. No wonder you -- you turned to the support group and to Kelly. She understood that you needed time to heal, and I didn't even understand that. I didn't get it.", "Billy: Stop. Stop. You d-- you didn't -- stop.", "Victoria: No, we got married for better or for worse, and then the worst came. And I don't know how to deal with it. I am so sorry. I'm so sorry that I haven't been the wife that you needed.", "Billy: Don't do that. Please don't apologize.", "Victoria: Can you please forgive me?", "Billy: You didn't do anything wrong. I did. Just don't apologize to me.", "Cane: Happy new year, guys. We love you.", "Lily: [Chuckles] Go to bed, and we'll see you in the morning, okay?", "Cane: Okay, we love you guys. Get some sleep.", "Lily: Good night.", "Cane: Good night.", "[Both chuckle]", "Lily: I almost died laughing when Mattie said her new year's resolution.", "Cane: [Sighs] No more bananas in the bottom of the backpack. I thought that was inspiring.", "Lily: Or what about Charlie saying that he's not gonna use anymore green crayons for his art projects?", "Cane: Well, I guess we won't get any landscapes this year.", "Lily: And then Mattie tells him to use pink to get in touch with his feminine side.", "Cane: Sounds like something his mother would say.", "Lily: Well, I think that men should be able to express all sides of themselves.", "Cane: Yes, we should. So what about you? Are there any crayon or any backpack resolutions I should know about?", "Lily: No, but I promised to make every minute of every day count. No matter what the doctor says.", "Cane: And I promise to turn those minutes into years. Cheers.", "Lily: Cheers.", "Devon: Go dig up dirt someplace else. What's the matter, Devon? Afraid I'll write about you trashing another hotel room?", "Devon: I have some advice for you. You need to get your facts straight, or else the only thing you'll be writing is a big, fat check to the charity of my choice after I sue you for libel. Uh-huh.", "Devon: Beat it, man. [Chuckles] Have a good night, man.", "Hilary: I am so sorry I ever put you on their radar.", "Devon: Please. I think inheriting a couple billions did that anyway.", "Hilary: So is your family meeting here tonight?", "Devon: Yeah. Yeah, we're, uh, celebrating Leslie and Neil's engagement.", "Hilary: Okay, well, you can give them my best.", "Devon: Whoa. Hey. I never got to say thank you for telling me about mason stealing my identity.", "Hilary: Did you talk to the police?", "Devon: Well, I want to take a look at the security footage from the hotel.", "Hilary: You don't believe me.", "Devon: No, I do. I'm just not sure of how I want to handle things. Are you staying?", "Hilary: Um, I think I might just go watch the ball drop in my room.", "Devon: Well, you know, you don't have to go.", "Neil: Hey, Devon. Happy new year, my man.", "Devon: Hey. Happy new year.", "Neil: Hi, Hilary.", "Hilary: Hi, Neil.", "Neil: Good to see you. I'm well. You didn't start without me, did you?", "Devon: No, no, no, no.", "Abby: There's the groom-to-be! Congratulations.", "Neil: Thank you. Appreciate that.", "Abby: Hi.", "Neil: What do you say we go join the rest of the party down there, huh? Will you take that for me? Thanks.", "Abby: Let's do it.", "Neil: You look good, man.", "Devon: Thanks. So do you.", "Neil: I like the suit. Yeah, let's go party.", "Devon: All right.", "Jack: I'm not gonna just force Phyllis out of my mind.", "Ashley: We don't want you to force her out of your mind, jack.", "Jack: No?", "Traci: Jack, remember when colleen died? I didn't want to talk to anyone. I didn't want to leave the house. I didn't even want to go on living. And, jack, it was you. You forced me to face life again.", "Jack: That was different, and you know it. Colleen was gone. You needed to let go. Phyllis is still here.", "Traci: Jack, she's alive. But she's not living. And neither are you.", "Jack: Bull!", "Ashley: Jackie, you're just withdrawing. You know, you're withdrawing further and further from the world.", "Traci: Come on. Phyllis wouldn't want that. She would want you to be involved and engaged.", "Ashley: She would.", "Traci: For summer's sake as well as for your own.", "Ashley: You're so convinced that she's gonna wake up, right?", "Jack: Yes, I am.", "Ashley: So when she does, she's gonna want to know that she didn't rob you of all the time that she wasn't here, Jackie.", "Jack: I just feel like I should be with her.", "Ashley: Jackie... you can't be there. You know, Phyllis wouldn't want you to be with her.", "Jack: So what do I do? Just forget about her?", "Ashley: Of course not.", "Traci: Jack, we're not asking you to give up on Phyllis' life. We just... we don't want you to give up on your own.", "Victoria: Please don't blame yourself for the way things have been between us.", "Billy: I have been a jerk, honey.", "Victoria: You've been in pain. I'm not gonna let you beat yourself up for that.", "Billy: Okay. I could've, um... I should've handled things much differently.", "Victoria: Look, there's no right or wrong way to deal with grief. I mean, everybody does it in a different way. And I should have understood that. I should have understood that and not pushed you to get back to normal so quickly.", "Billy: You were just trying to help me.", "Victoria: No, I-I just made things worse is what I did.", "Billy: We've both made mistakes here.", "Victoria: Okay, well, I'm gonna make up for my mistakes, and promise you that. So whatever you need, if you need time, you need space, you need Kelly -- whatever you need --", "Billy: I just need you, okay? I just need you.", "Victoria: Okay. Well, I'm here, and we're gonna get through this together. I promise you.", "Billy: I am so sorry.", "Billy: You need to let me say this.", "Victoria: Okay.", "Billy: No matter what I say, I need you to know that I realize that you've been there for me.", "Victoria: I've tried.", "Billy: You've done everything right. I'm the one who screwed up.", "Victoria: No. Don't say that.", "Billy: It's true. I... you're the most beautiful, loving, caring wife I could ever ask for, and instead of appreciating you, I've al-- I always hurt you.", "Victoria: No. Listen to me. That was the past, all right?", "Billy: [Sniffles] I don't deserve you.", "Victoria: You're a good man, Billy. You're a good man. You're a good husband and a good father.", "Billy: No. I haven't been any of those things. But I will be. I promise you I will be.", "Stitch: Kelly, you can't.", "Kelly: I can't what? Tell everyone about you, dr. Rayburn?", "Stitch: Haven't you done enough?", "Kelly: I didn't do anything. She was gonna find out sooner or later. It wasn't intentional. It just came up.", "Stitch: Things are going really well here for me. I'd like to keep it that way.", "Kelly: And you need my help.", "Stitch: I just think if we're both gonna be living here... we should stay out of each other's way.", "Kelly: I think that's a great idea.", "Victor: Neil, congratulations.", "Neil: Thank you, victor. Appreciate that.", "Nikki: Have you set a date yet?", "Leslie: No.", "Neil: Soon.", "Nikki: [Chuckles]", "Leslie: Not too soon.", "Neil: Kind of soon.", "Victor: Oh, yeah? Well, you know Nikki's an expert at that. She can assist you if you need it.", "Nikki: Oh, dear. Unfortunately the last wedding I put together didn't turn out very well.", "Victor: Oh.", "Neil: That's a shame. Uh-oh. Look what the cat dragged in. It looks like nick's recovered.", "Nikki: He came! I'm so glad. A night out will do him some good.", "Victor: Oh, my. But not with her.", "Sharon: Nick. I didn't know you were gonna be here.", "Nick: I didn't know you were coming, either.", "Sharon: I wasn't going to. I was just gonna stay home tonight, but then Neil invited me to come celebrate his and Leslie's engagement.", "Nick: Abby invited me. Or more like shamed me into coming. She said I would be a loser if I stayed home on new year's eve all alone.", "Sharon: Well, she tried. I mean, [Chuckles] You should be out enjoying your life. Um... do you want me to go?", "Nick: Why should you go?", "Sharon: Well, I can think of two reasons.", "Nick: Oh, come on. You're not gonna let my mom and dad get to you, are you?", "Sharon: I won't if you won't.", "Nick: Let's get some champagne. What's up, Ty?", "Tyler: Hey.", "Abby: Seriously? Did she put a tracking device on him?", "Victor: I wouldn't put it past her.", "Nikki: I'm not any happier than you two are that Sharon is here, but... let's not ruin the party for Neil and Leslie. Victor, promise me no matter what happens...no trouble.", "Victor: Oh, boy.", "Jack: Well, there's an old acquaintance who should be forgot.", "Traci: Oh, be nice.", "Jack: I'm always nice. Let's go wish him a happy new year.", "Traci: Thank you.", "Victor: Hello, Traci.", "Nikki: Hello.", "Victor: Ashley.", "Traci: Happy new year, everyone.", "Nikki: Good to see you.", "Traci: Thank you.", "Victor: We'll see, won't we?", "Ashley: Well, I think we could use a little peace on earth, if it's not too late for that sentiment.", "Nikki: Oh, I don't think it's ever too late for that. Do you, darling?", "Victor: Ashley and Traci, you both look beautiful this evening.", "Traci: Oh, thank you.", "Jack: As do you, Nikki. You just haven't changed, not since you were married to me.", "Victor: She's just a lot smarter now than she was then.", "Traci: Um, jack, I'm thirsty. Let's get a drink. We'll see you later.", "Nikki: I am going to make a quick phone call to Victoria, wish her a happy new year.", "Victor: Give her my love, okay?", "Ashley: Well...", "Victor: So you think peace between your brother and me -- are you serious?", "Ashley: [Chuckles] A girl can hope, right? I mean, you're both still standing. When I was in town last time, I wasn't sure that would be the case by the end of the year.", "Victor: There's still time.", "Ashley: Stop. Can't you just let this battle go?", "Abby: Mom! You're back!", "Ashley: Hi, sweetie! I am. I had to see for myself if you are as happy as your texts say.", "Abby: Well?", "Ashley: You look beautiful. I see you're happier. Are you?", "Abby: This is gonna be a great year. And I am thrilled to ring in the new year with almost everyone in this room.", "Sharon: Check my back for me.", "Nick: For what?", "Sharon: For knives. I'm sure there's more than one in there.", "Nick: Oh, come on. I thought we said we weren't gonna let my parents get to us.", "Sharon: You know, I thought there were maybe one or two people here who had it out for me, but now I feel like nobody wants me here.", "Nick: Well, I do.", "Sharon: You know, us hanging out together like this, people are gonna think we're a couple.", "Nick: We know what we are. We're friends.", "Sharon: Thinking back to last year at this time, it's funny. We're friends now. And it just makes me think that anything's possible.", "Victor: Be careful, jack. Remember what happened at this very bar about a year ago.", "Jack: How nice of you to remind me.", "Victor: Probably very few people recall. But you picked up a prostitute right here and took her to your house, and she was found dead on your living-room floor.", "Jack: I will never forget what happened to that poor woman. You seem to have forgotten some details, though, as I remember her body was found in an alley.", "Victor: You know what I think? How different this year would have been for you if Adam had not been successful in covering up your scheme.", "Jack: Adam was a great friend to me. He didn't learn about that from you, did he?", "Victor: What have you done for him in return for saving your ass? Hmm? Or are you helping him cover up an equally egregious transgression?", "Jack: If I had, you'd be the last to know. Excuse me.", "Victor: Mm-hmm.", "Traci: [Laughing]", "Jack: Well, happy new year. Nice to see you here.", "Hilary: Yeah. Nice to see you, too. No, I'm just grabbing some dinner and taking it back up to my room.", "Traci: Oh, are you sure you can't stay?", "Jack: Traci, could I borrow my assistant for just a second?", "Traci: Well, sure. I haven't said hi to Abby yet. I will see you later. Okay.", "Jack: I didn't know you knew my sister that well.", "Hilary: Uh, well, I've seen her at the house.", "Jack: You certainly seemed like you had plenty to talk about.", "Hilary: No, not really.", "Jack: No more than just me.", "Hilary: What?", "Jack: I wondered how Ashley and Traci knew everything I was doing and feeling. You've been filling them in, haven't you?", "Hilary: I may have mentioned that, um... I was worried about you. That's it.", "Jack: I appreciate your concern. It's not necessary, and it is certainly not any part of your job description.", "Hilary: I'm sorry if I overstepped. But I am so grateful to you, jack.", "Jack: I know that.", "Hilary: I just wanted to do something to help you.", "Jack: You want to help me? Get on with your life. You're a beautiful woman. Focus on your life, not mine. As a matter of fact, start doing it tonight.", "Hilary: No. I can't.", "Jack: Yes, you can. You're a goal-oriented woman. Take a look around this room. Look for a face you'd like to be kissing at midnight. And then go for it. Start living your life.", "Devon: So when's the big day? Have to dust off my tux.", "Neil: My man, you better start dusting that tux off right away.", "Leslie: Oh, yeah. Weeks. Months, maybe.", "Abby: So a long engagement?", "Leslie: Mm. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. I mean, what's the rush? We -- we're together. We love each other. I mean, a wedding is just -- it's formalities.", "[Glass clinking]", "Neil: May I have everyone's attention, please? Come here, honey. Would you come over with me? I want to thank everyone for coming here tonight to help Leslie and me celebrate our engagement... and to ring in this wonderful new year. You know, this is an evening of new beginnings, and I thought that I had used up my quota of those. But for some reason, the universe has decided to give me one more shot at happiness. And, boy, am I glad that it did. Yeah, a lot of you don't know the proposal that I made to my lovely girl here was -- it was a little unorthodox, wasn't it? It was in the middle of the Genoa city police department.", "[Laughter]", "Neil: It was. Romantic.", "Neil: Yeah. Really romantic, right? But I promise you I'm gonna make that up to you.", "Leslie: Oh, well, you know, you already did.", "[Laughter]", "Leslie: Look at that!", "Neil: Yeah.

[ "Everyone in town rings in the new year at parties, some at The Underground and some at the Athletic Club. Victoria and Stitch have a private celebration at her house. Austin gets jealous of Kyle who calls Abby to wish her a Happy New Year but spends most of the phone call talking to Summer. Summer assures Austin that she is happy with him, and he has no reason to be jealous of Kyle, then she and Austin promise to have the best year ever. Devon spends New Year's at the Underground with Gwen, but he would rather be wit Hilary. Neil's vision continues to improve, but it is still blurry, so even though he tries, he can't see Hilary's text message that comes in from Devon while Hilary is in the restroom.", "The battle for Jack's heart begins as Phyllis arrives and discovers she and Kelly are wearing the same dress which she isn't happy about, so she persuades someone at the club to open the boutique, so she can buy a sexy red dress that leaves Jack speechless. When Phyllis accuses Kelly of taking the gas out of her car, Kelly responds that she would never do such a thing to anyone. Kelly tells Jack she knows he still loves her and he's stuck with Phyllis, but Jack tells Kelly that he is very happy with Phyllis. Nikki goes to the park to talk to Katherine, and Paul overhears her say that she hasn't had a drink since Thanksgiving and she doesn't intend to drink again. Nikki pleads with Paul not to tell her family. He agrees as long as she keeps her promise to Katherine not to drink again. Abby is surprised by a New Year's Eve kiss from Detective Harding. Kevin and Mariah share another kiss but they tell each other not to get any ideas. Billy isn't happy to find Chelsea talking to Gabriel, and he tells her he doesn't like that guy at all. Adam tells Jack to hire him at Jabot or he will tell the police Billy shot him and left him to die.", "" ]

[ "Adam: That is a wedding ring, right?", "Chelsea: No.", "Adam: Oh.", "Chelsea: Well, actually, it is a wedding ring, but --", "Adam: It's just complicated?", "Chelsea: [Chuckles] Not really. I just -- I just wear this to keep guys from buying me drinks.", "Adam: Oh. You got something against free drinks?", "Chelsea: No. [Chuckles] No, it's just easier than saying, \"thanks, I'm flattered, but no thanks.\"", "Adam: Oh, okay. Well, now that the ring is gone and we've established that you're not afraid of free drinks, um... champagne?", "Chelsea: Thanks, I'm flattered, but no thanks. I feel like I should wait for my date.", "Adam: Yeah. Yeah, of course. Of course. Uh... you should. Uh, listen, I-I don't want to give you the wrong idea. I wasn't trying to hit on you or anything. Um, I'm actually waiting for someone, too. I've been, uh, waiting on her for a long time.", "Chelsea: Oh. She must be very special.", "Adam: She's perfect.", "Victor: What would make this a happier new year, Mr. Clark, is for you to do your job and sell the warehouse property, all right? Once you have done that, you call me. You look beautiful.", "Nikki: Thank you.", "Victor: You all right?", "Nikki: Yeah. I've just, uh... been thinking about the year we've been through.", "Victor: But we survived. Onward and upward. Ready to ring in the new year.", "Nikki: Can you make me a promise?", "Victor: What kind of promise?", "Nikki: I don't want to be left in the dark anymore. You'll be honest with me, even if you think what you have to say to me will upset me.", "Victor: Well... can you promise the same?", "Kevin: Okay, so when Harding asks me to watch his pet, roscoe, I'm thinking pit bull, maybe a Doberman, possibly a python. But no. Mr. Macho detective here has an itty-bitty bunny.", "Noah: What?", "Mariah: Itty-bitty?", "Noah: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Harding has a little rabbit? No. No way.", "Kevin: It's a big, fluffy rabbit.", "[Laughter]", "Courtney: Oh, guys, come on. That's cute.", "Harding: It is cute. It's very cute.", "Mariah: Yeah, and not weird at all.", "Kevin: Okay, but Harding's love of cute, fuzzy, little bunnies wasn't the only surprise.", "Harding: Okay, zip it, fish.", "Kevin: What? Come on. It was a simple mistake. Anybody could have made it. Well, anybody who didn't know the difference between male and female anatomy.", "Mariah: True.", "Devon: No.", "Gwen: He was a she?", "Harding: Yeah, okay, you know, I think that's enough about my rabbit.", "[Laughter]", "Noah: You got to be able to tell the difference between the girls and the guys if you want to be called a player.", "[Laughter]", "Kevin: No, no. He would have figured it out as soon as she saw roscoe's babies.", "Noah: Oh, God. His bunny had babies?", "Devon: Hey, let's get a toast to the proud papa.", "[Cheering]", "Lars: Shots, yes?", "Summer: Okay, you guys, give Harding a break. It's bad enough that he doesn't have a date on New Year's Eve.", "Noah: Did your girlfriend turn out to be a guy, too?", "Harding: Oh, you are the funniest.", "Courtney: Yeah, what did happen to Lonnie?", "Harding: We called it quits.", "Kevin: She dumped you.", "Harding: Yeah, she said I, uh, didn't understand women, whatever that means.", "Abby: Well, if -- if roscoe is any indication, you clearly have a disconnect with the opposite sex.", "[Laughter]", "Lars: Shots, yes?", "Devon: Who is this guy?", "Abby: That would be my date.", "Jack: I know you said earlier you weren't bothered by my being here, but if that's not the case, Phyllis and I can always celebrate the new year elsewhere.", "Kelly: I don't have any problem with you being here.", "Jack: Good. Because I don't want to hurt you any more than I already have.", "Kelly: I think you're the one that's hurting.", "Jack: Why would I be hurting?", "Kelly: Because you're still in love with me. And now you're stuck with Phyllis.", "Phyllis: This is not happening to me. How could I be out of gas? Come on, come on, come on. There's got to be enough fumes, enough to get me to the club or the nearest gas station. Come on. The nearest gas station. Please let me have -- oh, my God. How can I be dead? How can you be dead?! Oh, my God. Okay. This is not gonna defeat me. Mnh-mnh. You know why? You know why? Because you made it here from Georgia with $5 and a stolen nurse's uniform, and nothing beats you. Nothing beats you. Don't think I'm not gonna walk to the club from here.", "[Car alarm dings]", "Phyllis: I'm walking.", "Abby: Everybody, this is Lars.

Now we can go, okay?", "Nikki: You know, I just got a phone call myself from Katherine's favorite charity, and they have a-an annual New Year's Eve reception, and their keynote speaker just called. She's sick. She can't make it, and they wanted me to fill in for her.", "Victor: Oh. Well, then I'll come with you.", "Nikki: Well, it's for a battered women's shelter. They might be uncomfortable if there's a man there. I-I think I should just go and I'll meet you over there.", "Victor: Sweetheart, I don't think you should go out alone. Why don't I call the shelter and have them find someone else?", "Nikki: Darling, it's important to me. I want to do it.", "Victor: I know that Katherine would appreciate very much that you continue her work, but she will also understand that you're not up to it right now.", "Nikki: I want to do it. I'm doing it for myself.", "Victor: I don't understand.", "Nikki: Well, I read somewhere that whoever you spend your New Year's Eve with affects the whole rest of the next year. So I really want to make this stop.", "Victor: I see. You read that somewhere, huh?", "Nikki: Mm-hmm.", "Victor: Okay. Then you go ahead.", "Adam: You sure I can't tempt you? Just one drink while we wait?", "Chelsea: Sure. Why not? One drink while I wait.", "Adam: There we go.", "Chelsea: [Chuckles]", "Adam: To, um, well, to the new year and, uh, new friendships.", "Chelsea: Hear, hear.", "[Glasses clink]", "[Cell phone rings]", "Chelsea: Hmm. Oh, uh, excuse me.", "Adam: Yeah.", "Chelsea: Billy, hey. What's going on?", "Billy: Hey, I'm so sorry I'm late.", "Chelsea: No, it's okay. Is everything all right?", "Billy: Yeah, yeah, we just had a little scare with Katie.", "Chelsea: What kind of scare?", "Billy: Oh, she was spitting up, she had a fever, so we decided to take her to urgent care.", "Chelsea: Urgent care? Uh, well, what did the pediatrician say?", "Billy: Uh, he said it was just baby reflux. We were probably overreacting, but Vick and I didn't want to take any chances.", "Chelsea: No, no, of course not. Um, do you -- do you want to cancel our plans?", "Billy: No, no, that's not necessary. I'll be there.", "Chelsea: I would understand. I mean, the baby comes first, of course.", "Billy: I appreciate that, but Katie's fine, and, uh, Vick will call me if there's any changes.", "Chelsea: Are you sure?", "Billy: Yeah. I want to start the new year together.", "Chelsea: Yeah. Me, too.", "Billy: I'll be there soon.", "Chelsea: All right. I'll see you then.", "Adam: Everything all right with Connor?", "Chelsea: Connor's fine. Thank you for your concern.", "Adam: Good. I'm -- I'm sorry. Uh, I didn't mean to be nosy. It's just, you hear a child goes to urgent care, and your brain starts to go in all kinds of different directions.", "Chelsea: It wasn't Connor who went to see the doctor. It was actually my -- my date's little girl.", "Adam: So -- so the guy you're seeing has a -- has a baby?", "Chelsea: Yeah.", "Adam: Oh.", "Chelsea: Yeah. Uh, Katherine rose. She's almost 2 months.", "Adam: Wow. Well, I'm -- I am, uh, you know, I'm glad she's okay.", "Chelsea: Yeah. Me, too. She really means the world to Billy.", "Adam: I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. You know, they say, um, children change your life.", "Chelsea: It's so true.", "Adam: Yeah?", "Chelsea: Yeah, I actually never even planned on being a mother, but now every holiday, every birthday, every -- every single day, actually, I truly love it more and more.", "Adam: Good. Did you and Connor have a good Christmas?", "Chelsea: Yeah, we did.", "Adam: Yeah?", "Chelsea: We did. It was better than last year. He's definitely at a really fun age, you know?", "Adam: Mm-hmm. Yeah, oh, yeah, the age where he likes to unwrap the presents instead of eat the wrapping paper, right?", "Chelsea: Yes! You know kids!", "Adam: Well, I used to be a kid.", "[Both laugh]", "Chelsea: Well, I'm sure you weren't as spoiled as Connor is now. You should have seen all the presents for him under the tree. All soccer-themed, of course. We had a -- we had a soccer goal.", "Adam: Okay.", "Chelsea: We had soccer gear, soccer posters.", "Adam: I was into the whole soccer thing when I was a kid, too.", "Chelsea: Oh, yeah?", "Adam: I know all about it.", "Chelsea: Yeah. His, uh, grandpa got him started right away. I think the day he was born.", "Adam: Yeah. I'd be careful about that, you know. Sometimes, uh, adults can pressure kids into places they really don't want to be. Push them too hard or whatever.", "Chelsea: Right, well, his -- his grandfather can be a bit overbearing, but he does love his grandson, so...", "Adam: I'm sure.", "Victor: Hello, Chelsea.", "Chelsea: Victor, hi!", "Victor: Happy New Year.", "Chelsea: Happy New Year. That's funny. We were actually just talking about you.", "Victor: You were?", "Chelsea: I was.", "Victor: Good things, I hope.", "Chelsea: Always.", "Victor: I didn't know you knew each other.", "Chelsea: You've -- you guys have met?", "Victor: I saw him in the elevator the other day.", "Adam: I can't believe you remember that.", "Victor: Yes, I do, indeed.", "Chelsea: You're really meeting all the Newmans.", "Victor: Does that mean you have come to your senses where Billy Abbott is concerned?", "Stitch: Johnny and Reed are asleep. Uh, I hope you don't mind I took them out.", "Victoria: Oh, no, listen, of course not. We're just grateful that you could keep an eye on them while we went to the doctor. Thank you.", "Stitch: Sure. Everything check out okay?", "Victoria: [Sighs]", "Billy: Yeah. Upset tummy, just like you said.", "Victoria: Yeah. Her fever's already down. They didn't even give us antibiotics for her.", "Billy: You, uh, you nailed it, doc.", "Stitch: Ah.", "Victoria: We just -- we've seen things go wrong with kids before, and we just wanted to be sure.", "Stitch: No, I completely understand. If she were my daughter, I -- you -- you did the right thing taking her in.", "Billy: I'm glad you'll be here tonight. You'll keep an eye on her for me, right?", "Stitch: You bet.", "Billy: Well, I should get going. I don't want to keep Chelsea waiting, so... Happy New Year, sweetheart. You've, uh, you've already made it one for me. You and your mom. [Sighs] Happy New Year, both of you.", "Victoria: Thank you, Billy. Happy New Year.", "[Door opens]", "Victoria: Ben, I'm -- I'm so sorry.", "Summer: Do you know how long it's been since I've been skiing or to Europe? Okay, well, maybe next year. I hope I don't have to wait that long until I see you. You know, I know that Genoa City isn't Italy, but everyone here really misses you. [Chuckles] Okay, I'm gonna hold you to it. Okay, bye, Kyle.", "Austin: Ski trip, huh?", "Summer: Yeah. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?", "Austin: I'm more of a basketball hoops kind of guy, you know?", "Summer: You've never been skiing with me.", "Austin: Yeah, slopes are more for rich guys like Kyle.", "Summer: Okay, well, what about sitting in front of the fire at the lodge afterwards?", "Austin: I'm sure he's a pro there, too.", "Summer: Okay, stop, stop. We have been over this before. You have no reason to be jealous of Kyle. Okay, I'm happy with my life with you.", "Austin: Even without all the expensive vacations?", "Summer: Yes. Look, I love you, okay? You are everything I will ever want or need. Right here is where I want to be.", "Austin: I want to make this a great year for you. I promise.", "Jack: I'm -- I'm sorry if I misled you in any way --", "Kelly: Jack, let me explain. I understand now that you were in a terrible position. I mean, Phyllis shows up after a year in a coma? I mean, how could you possibly turn your back on her?", "Jack: That's -- that's not what happened. I love Phyllis, and I am so sorry that I hurt you in any way at all.", "Kelly: Please, you gave me the absolute best of you. You opened your home and your heart to me, and -- and I gave you mine.", "Jack: Yes, you did, and I --", "Kelly: And I can't just turn those feelings off, so I know that you can't, either, no matter what you say.", "Jack: Kelly, I had to make a choice. That's what I did.", "Kelly: You weren't lying when you held me in your arms and you told me that you loved me. You weren't lying when you made love to me.", "Jack: Phyllis came back.", "Kelly: Feelings like that don't just go away.", "Jack: Kelly, listen.", "Kelly: Okay. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me that you have absolutely no feelings for me left whatsoever.", "Jack: Kelly. I want you to listen to me.", "Abby: Uh, did Devon ever tell you that we went out?", "Gwen: No, he did not mention that.", "Abby: It was probably just so embarrassing, you know, being rejected.", "Devon: Right, right. I hated doing that to you.", "Abby: No one has ever dumped me.", "Devon: It was a mutual decision.", "Gwen: Gotcha.", "Abby: I can live with that. You know, you and I are better off friends anyway. And you two, you make such an adorable couple.", "Gwen: Thanks.", "Abby: I hope that you're divorced or -- or separated, at least.", "Devon: Abby.", "Gwen: What?", "Abby: I just -- I assumed that Gwen was the married woman you were hung up on.", "Devon: No, no. Gwen's never been married before.", "Gwen: Married woman?", "Devon: You've never been married before, right?", "Gwen: Not yet.", "Abby: Great! Yeah! You've moved on from Mrs. Jones, and you can have a real relationship with -- with someone great.", "Devon: Yeah.", "Lars: Shots! Yes?", "Harding: [Laughs] You know -- you know, maybe \"shots\" means something different in Dutch. Or -- or Swedish or whatever it is he's speaking. Maybe it's like \"Aloha\" and has like 20 different meanings. [Laughs]", "Abby: Excuse us.", "Noah: So, what do you think about this bracelet, really?", "Courtney: That it's beautiful. I said I loved it.", "Abby: Jewelry? How sophisticated. What's next? An engagement ring?", "Noah: No, whoa. No, no. Uh, there's no wedding in my future. I'll get us another drink.", "Nikki: Happy New Year, Katherine. I can't believe it's been two years...since I've seen you... and laughed with you... cried with you. [Inhales sharply] I'm trying to be strong. I really am. But... I know that I've let you down. I wrote you in my letter that... I had been drinking. [Sighs] I can just see your face. Shaking your head. What a hypocrite I am. But I have good news. I haven't had a drop since thanksgiving. And I-I know it's gonna be hard, but it's a new year. And whatever challenges that year brings, I'm gonna face them head on. I've been working the program. I've been going to meetings. And I'm gonna do it, Katherine. No more drinking. Oh, my God. Paul.", "Paul: You lied to me, Nikki.", "Chelsea: I hate to disappoint you, Victor, but this gentleman is just keeping me company while I wait for Billy. Actually, I don't even know your name.", "Adam: [Chuckles] Uh, Gabriel. Gabriel Bingham.", "Chelsea: Uh, Victor is Connor's grandfather. And I'm Chelsea. Also Newman.", "Adam: Oh.", "Victor: Bingham, Bingham, Bingham. Sounds familiar.", "Adam: I'm pretty sure we've never met, except, uh, you know, the other day in the elevator.", "Victor: Whatever you say. I just wanted to wish you and my grandson a Happy New Year.", "Chelsea: Happy New Year to you, too. Okay.", "Victor: Okay. Bingham.", "Chelsea: Bye.", "Adam: So, I take it from that encounter, uh, your boyfriend isn't Connor's dad. Is that right?", "Chelsea: No.", "Adam: Okay.", "Chelsea: Connor's father passed away earlier this year.", "Adam: I'm sorry to hear that. That's -- that's tough. I, uh, I recently lost someone really close to me. I know what it feels like to lose someone special in your life.", "Chelsea: Yeah. It's been very, very hard. But...I'm moving on.", "Adam: Well, moving on has been impossible for me.", "Chelsea: I'm sorry. The hardest part is, you know, all of the unresolved issues. I...still have a lot I had to say to him.", "Billy: Hey. You okay?", "Chelsea: Hmm. Hey. Yeah, I'm great. I-I was actually just talking to --", "Billy: Uh, no need for introductions. I've already met the man. Seems to be spreading joy everywhere I turn. What's up with that, Bingham?", "Jack: Phyllis. Hey. Are you all right? What happened?", "Phyllis: That all depends on what I just walked in on, Jack. Why don't you tell me? I'm waiting.", "Kelly: Jack was just admiring my dress.", "Christine: And, Kelly, you look great in it.", "Kelly: Oh, thank you!", "Jack: Could I have a moment alone with my -- with Phyllis, please?", "Kelly: Of course! Of course. Um, Phyllis, if you need anything, you just, um, let me know.", "Jack: [Stammers] Are you all right?", "Phyllis: What was going on between you and Kelly when I walked in?", "Jack: I was just telling her you're the woman I love, you're the woman I want to spend my --", "Phyllis: That's not what it looked like, Jack.", "Jack: She's not accepting the truth right now. There's nothing I can do about that. Could we please do what I wanted to do all along? Skip this celebration and let's go home.", "Phyllis: No! Not after everything I went through to get here.", "Jack: What the hell happened?", "Phyllis: I ran out of gas, surprisingly. Then my cell phone died. And apparently nobody's picking up hitchhikers, even ones with great legs.", "Jack: Wait, you walked here?", "Phyllis: Yes, I did. I managed to mess up my makeup, my shoes, my dress. But you know what? It doesn't matter, because I was never crazy about this dress in the first place. You know, I think it's a little dated. I'm sure I can persuade someone to open up the boutique for me here.", "Jack: Phyllis --", "Phyllis: I am not going to get into it with Kelly tonight, Jack. Don't worry. That woman is obviously delusional. And I actually feel kind of bad for her.", "Jack: I'm gonna get you a drink. Calm down. Deal with your dress, okay?", "Phyllis: I won't be long. Hi, bitch. I know you set me up.", "Nikki: I-I can explain.", "Paul: Oh, please, Nikki. I heard what you said to Katherine. I was right, wasn't I? All those months ago when I thought you were drinking.", "Nikki: I-I'm sorry that I wasn't honest with you.", "Paul: I wish you felt you could have been.", "Nikki: I was so embarrassed. I was ashamed. I-I should have been stronger. I know.", "Paul: You -- you know what, Nikki? Sometimes we can't do it on our own. And if you don't want to lean on me, that's perfectly fine. Let your family help you.", "Nikki: No! No, you -- you can't tell my family.", "Paul: They're not gonna judge you. They love you. They'll never judge you.", "Nikki: And I love them. That's why they can't know. And besides, you just heard me. I'm not drinking anymore.", "Paul: How am I supposed to believe you when you just lied to me?", "Nikki: All right. If you can't believe me, you have to believe that I would never lie to Katherine. I mean, she would never let me, even now. I'm going to meetings. I'm staying sober. Please don't worry Victor and the kids unnecessarily. Please, Paul, I am asking. I am begging you as a friend, please, please don't tell them.", "Paul: [Sighs] All right, Nikki. I won't tell your family.", "Nikki: Oh, thank you. Thank you, Paul, so much.", "Stitch: Katie asleep?", "Victoria: Yeah. Like nothing ever happened.", "Stitch: Well, I'm glad it wasn't anything serious.", "Victoria: You know, I should have listened to you. That's what I started to say before, and I'm sorry -- I'm sorry that I didn't.", "Stitch: Victoria, I don't blame you and Billy for taking Katie in to urgent care. After everything you've been through, you know, your instinct is to be cautious.", "Victoria: Yeah, I know, but you're a doctor, and I should have trusted your opinion.", "Stitch: I have given you more than enough reason to doubt my judgment.", "Victoria: That's all in the past. I know you would never betray me.", "Stitch: I'm gonna prove that I deserve your trust. You know that? I love you. I have never stopped loving you.", "Chelsea: How do you and Gabriel know each other?", "Billy: Oh, I met him at Jack's house. He was spreading his own special brand of cheer there, too.", "Chelsea: Billy, Gabriel wasn't giving me a hard time. We were just talking about Connor's father.", "Billy: Did you know Adam?", "Adam: Nope.", "Billy: Lucky you.", "Chelsea: Gabriel was just keeping me company while we waited for our dates to get here.", "Billy: So, uh, where's yours?", "Adam: Um, well, like I was just explaining to Chelsea here, I've been waiting for my special lady for the better part of a year now.", "Billy: [Chuckles] Maybe she's trying to tell you something.", "Adam: [Chuckles] Maybe. Maybe. Well, lucky -- lucky for me, I can't take a hint.", "Billy: You know, Jack was saying the same thing about you.", "Chelsea: Jack? How do you know Jack?", "Billy: They're business associates.", "Adam: Well, we were. I'm hoping to do some more business with him in the future. Yeah.", "Billy: Well, good. And you'll be dealing with me since I'm employed at the family business.", "Chelsea: Don't worry. I work at Jabot, too. I'll make sure Billy isn't too hard on you.", "Adam: Okay. Well, you know what? I have taken up enough of your time. So, uh, look forward to working with both of you. I do. Have a good night.", "Chelsea: You, too.", "Billy: Yeah. You, too. I don't like him.", "Chelsea: [Chuckles] You don't even know him.", "Billy: It's just... something about him.", "Chelsea: He seems nice enough to me. Now, come on. Let's go have some fun.", "Kelly: I set you up?", "Phyllis: The way you were throwing yourself at Jack when I walked in proves it.", "Kelly: [Chuckles] Is that what he told you?", "Phyllis: You siphoned the gas out of my car to keep me from getting here tonight. Then you flaunt yourself in front of Jack wearing my dress.", "Kelly: Well, obviously I think I fill out this dress just a little bit more than you do. And secondly,[Scoffs] These lips have never been used to suck gas out of a tank.", "Phyllis: Oh, I can't imagine where they've been. So, what'd you do? Did you spy on me at the boutique to see what I bought?", "Kelly: [Chuckles] I really hope you're sharing these wild conspiracy theories with Jack.", "Phyllis: No, this is between you and me. You want a war? You got it.", "Kelly: [Scoffs]", "Neil: Two people in love with the same person. Never end well for one of them, right?", "Hilary: Uh, yeah. You know, I need to -- I need to use the ladies room. Are you okay?", "Neil: Yeah, I'm just fine. I'll wait right here for you, baby.", "Hilary: Okay.", "Neil: All right. [Sighs]", "[Cell phone dings]", "Hilary: Oh, I forgot my phone. Uh...", "Neil: Yeah, your phone. I was trying to find it. Um, I-I actually heard a text come in.", "Hilary: Yeah, I got it.", "Neil: Anything important?", "Hilary: No. Not at all.", "Gwen: Everything okay?", "Devon: Yeah. Yeah. I'm just waiting, uh, for a text. I'm checking in to make sure everything's okay at the athletic club. You can't have an empty glass on New Year's Eve. You know that, right? Let me go get you something. Shots, yeah?", "Gwen: [Laughs] You're so thoughtful, Devon. Thank you.", "Devon: No problem. I'll be right back.", "Abby: I'm sure dad would let us use his private jet. We could fly to Italy and meet Kyle and all of his friends!", "Summer: Austin can't go out of the country.", "Abby: It's a private plane. I'm sure we could sneak him out.", "Summer: Okay, even if I thought that that was a good idea, Austin has to work.", "Abby: [Loudly] Oh, well, maybe Mariah could cover for him. I'm sure she could use the extra money maybe for a makeover!", "Mariah: \"All of the material riches and physical beauty in this world cannot mask the ugliness of a cruel tongue and an empty heart.\"", "Abby: [Scoffs] Let's get out of here.", "Kevin: You're quoting Plato sphere now?", "Mariah: I didn't see you coming up with any witty comebacks. Not that you could compete with Plato. I mean, did you see how easily his words rolled off of my tongue?", "Kevin: It almost sounded like he wrote them just for you.", "Mariah: I mean, it's like the dude just gets me. You know, I bet he is awesome, super-rich, and smart.", "Kevin: Yeah, I bet he's all those things.", "Mariah: No. Who am I kidding? He's probably a really gross guy in his 40s who lives in his mom's basement with his 20 cats.", "Kevin: I bet he's in his 30s.", "Phyllis: Look, I don't care who you find. Just get someone to open up Fenmore's boutique for me, okay?", "Christine: Jack said you ran out of gas. I guess I don't have to worry about you being behind the wheel of a car tonight.", "Phyllis: Ah, yes! Christine, of course. You're gloating. I bet you did that the whole time I was in a coma. You were probably hoping I'd never wake up.", "Christine: I wouldn't be that cruel, not even to you.", "Phyllis: Of course not. Sweet, generous cricket.", "Christine: [Scoffs] You know, I just hope for Jack and Summer's sake, coming so close to death has made you want to become a better person. Excuse me. My husband is here. Hi. I didn't think you'd ever make it.", "Paul: Sorry.", "Christine: What held you up?", "Paul: Uh, just some business I had to take care of.", "Christine: Okay. Well, I missed you.", "Victor: There you are.", "Paul: I missed you, too.", "Christine: Hi.", "Nikki: Hi.", "Paul: Happy New Year.", "Victor: I understand congratulations are in order.", "Christine: Thank you. We are very excited about this baby.", "Victor: Well, I guess both of our wives will toast the new year with non- alcoholic drinks.", "Adam: Jack, you didn't tell me that Billy had a new baby. A daughter?", "Jack: With Victoria, yeah.", "Adam: Yeah. Saw them at the penthouse.", "Jack: Why does that make a difference? You think that cleans your slate? You can just replace one baby with another?", "Adam: God, no. That's not what I'm saying.", "Jack: This baby does not erase what you did, Adam.", "Adam: You should have told me, Jack.", "Jack: Told you what? It doesn't change anything. Look, I got a lot going on in my life right now. What is it you want, Gabriel?", "Adam: I decided how you're gonna help me out in the new year. You're gonna give me a job at Jabot.", "Jack: No way.", "Adam: You'll do it. You'll do it or I'll go to the police and I'll tell them that Billy tried to kill me. You wouldn't want him to be without his daughter, would you?", "Jack: You're playing with fire now, Adam.", "Adam: It's Gabriel. And I don't have a choice.", "Jack: Wow.", "Phyllis: \"Wow,\" as in \"I like it\"?", "Jack: On a scale of one to blown away, boom!", "Phyllis: You know how I hate to be the center of attention.", "Jack: Seeing you this happy, glowing, back in your element, wow.", "Phyllis: It's good to be back.", "Jack: This time last year, all I could do was toast you at midnight. The fact that we're together... it almost doesn't seem possible.", "Phyllis: It's more than possible. It's happening right now.", "Billy: Hey, everybody, it's almost midnight!", "Chelsea: Ooh! Yay!", "[Glass clinking]", "Neil: Uh, everybody, to all my friends and distinguished guests, um, I'd like to propose a toast, if I may. So, as we look forward to the new year, it's hard not to take a look, a close look, at 2014. Um, I know that for many of us, it was a year full of challenges. It was a year of healing and of great joy. It brought new life, and it brought new hope. And for me personally, it was the best year that I could possibly hope for because I found love again. And this time, it's for good. So, here's to the happiness and the love for all of us in the coming year. Happy New Year.", "All: Happy New Year!", "Paul: Come on, everybody!

[ "Abby and Ben's wedding begins just as Ashley falls to the floor. Ben rushes to her side. As Ashley comes to, everyone wants her to see a doctor, but she insists that the wedding go on as planned. Just as Billy is trying to get to Abby's wedding, Gil stops him in the underground garage and demands his money. Billy tries to tell him that he will get his money to him tomorrow but Gil will not hear of this. Billy starts to leave but one of Gil's associates stops him. The wedding ceremony resumes for Abby and Ben with them reciting their own vows. After the ceremony, Ben wants to leave immediately for the honeymoon, but Abby reminds him of all the other things that go on after the ceremony what with the toasts, the cutting of the wedding cake, etc. Traci joins them and tells them that they can't leave just yet. Victor, Dylan, and Victoria propose toasts to the happy couple. At a nearby table, Dr. Simon asks Ashley what is really wrong with her, but she refuses to talk about it and leaves the table. Summer coaxes her into dancing with Ben. Abby smiles as Ben starts to dance with Ashley.", "Back at the Jabot lab, Dr. Simon continues to pressure Ashley into telling him what is wrong. Ashley gives in and tells him that she has a tumor, but she doesn't want anyone to know. Dr. Simon offers her his help but she refuses. Ben and Abby go to the hotel room to get ready to leave but end up making love instead. Gil's associate beats up Billy. Gil reminds the associate that he shouldn't have beat him in the face. Gil reminds Billy that he will be after his money tomorrow and leaves him to die. At home, Sharon is in bed and Dylan joins her. They celebrate the coming of the new year. Everyone celebrates the new year with a kiss. Hilary watches as Neil kisses Nikki. In the garage, Billy crawls along the floor trying to get help. Noah watches as Luca kisses Marisa. Noah leaves and upon getting in his car, he backs up and hits something, but he doesn't stop to see what it is and just drives off. Marisa walks out and yells for Noah, but he just drives off. Marisa notices Billy lying on the floor and immediately goes to his side. She immediately calls an ambulance. Ashley agrees to let Dr. Simon help her.", "" ]

[ "Stitch: Hi. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together in the sight of god to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Now, Abby and Ben are here with their friends, their family, to publicly declare their love for one another.", "Phyllis: [Gasps]", "Jack: Ash!", "Abby: Oh, my god.", "Stitch: Give her some room. Hey. Hey. Hey. Ash, ash, it's Ben. Can you hear me? Ashley.", "Ashley: Ben?", "Gil: Going somewhere, Billy?", "Billy: Gil, what -- what the hell are you doing here?", "Gil: You couldn't duck my calls forever, Abbott. You owe me, and it's time to pay.", "Billy: I'm not avoiding you. I'm just late for a wedding. We can do this. Just not now. Excuse me.", "Gil: No, excuse me.", "Billy: Hey, hey!", "Gil: We're doing this now!", "Ashley: What happened?", "Jack: Ashley, you fainted.", "Ashley: [Sighs]", "Abby: Mom, do you know where you are?", "Ashley: Honey, of course I know where I am.", "Stitch: Okay, just -- just sit still for a second, all right?", "Ashley: I'm not gonna stay on the ground. I don't care how great the renovation is. I'm okay. I'm okay.", "Abby: You can't just pop back up.", "Victor: Nicholas, kindly call an ambulance.", "Nick: I already did.", "Ashley: Oh, please. No! No, stop. You're all being ridiculous.", "Jack: Ashley, you passed out. You need medical attention.", "Dr. Neville: I'm right here. And in my professional opinion, the woman forgets to eat. I've seen it before at the lab. She has low blood sugar. We get her some of those canapés and some water, she'll be fine.", "Ashley: Thank you. I'm fine.", "Stitch: Okay, no and no. Look, we can postpone.", "Ashley: Mnh-mnh.", "Stitch: Let's get you to an ER just as a precaution.", "Ashley: Nope. Nope.", "Abby: You can't pretend like nothing happened.", "Ashley: Oh, something happened. I'm so sorry. Look, look, I ran myself ragged planning this wedding. That's what happened. I'm not going anywhere until the both of you say \"I do,\" and that's it. I'm fine! I'm fine. Abby, will you have this man to be your husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honor, and keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, and be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?", "Abby: I will. Ben, will you have this woman to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, and be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?", "Stitch: I will.", "Abby: [Chuckles] The rings, please.", "[Laughter]", "Stitch: My best man, the comedian.", "[Laughter]", "Billy: You'll get your money, okay? I'm good for it! You know that!", "Gil: If you were good for it, I'd have my money.", "Billy: Gil, have I ever stiffed you before?", "Gil: You never made a $200,000 bet before.", "Billy: Wait, how much? 200 grand? I -- maybe you mis-- maybe you misheard me.", "Gil: See, I get the feeling you're not taking this very seriously.", "Billy: I'm taking it seriously. I am. Look, you're gonna get your money. You can charge me interest if you want!", "Gil: Oh, the juice is running, but I don't think you're gonna like my interest rates.", "Billy: Okay, okay, can -- can -- can we just for -- there -- there we go. All right. Gil, I'm an Abbott. We always pay our bills, okay?", "Gil: If your fancy family was planning on covering your bets, we'd be doing shots in a bar right now.", "Billy: My fancy family is actually upstairs right now in the middle of a wedding. If you'll just let me go and, you know, throw some rice, drink some champagne, I'll get you your money tomorrow. You'll have a fresh sack of cash for new year's.", "Gil: [Sighs] See, here's the deal. I want my money because it's mine and I want it. But you don't have it. So now we got to settle for door number two.", "Billy: Look, Gil, I don't -- oh, come on, man. Gil, look, it's -- this is just between us, man! There's no need for this!", "Gil: I was just trying to scare you, man. But you had to go and run. You forced my hand.", "Billy: Look, Gil --", "Abby: Oh. [Chuckles]", "Stitch: Will it fit?", "Abby: It fits.", "[Laughter]", "Abby: Honestly, I wasn't sure that it would. This wedding, this romance, it hasn't exactly been smooth and predictable. We're here. And we made it. And I am so proud to be your wife. When I first met you, um, you were stitch. [Chuckles] Super cute doctor who fixed my mom's ankle on thanksgiving. And then you were my bodyguard. Looking out for me. I think you might have called me high-maintenance or spoiled brat.", "Nick: Nailed it.", "[Laughter]", "Abby: But soon after that, I realized that I want to look out for you, too. And one of the scariest moments of my whole life was here in this building when I thought that I had lost you and my mom. But I look at this place [Chuckles] And I look at all of these beautiful people. We made it, and we are doing something crazy together. We're making an us, and I love us.", "Stitch: [Chuckles]", "Abby: We make no sense together at all, which is why I think we make perfect sense. And I loved you before. And now I love you more. And I always will.", "Stitch: [Chuckles] You're better at this than me, so I, um, so I had to write -- I had to write mine out, my -- my vows. Of course, if I learned one thing about you, it's that -- it's kind of fun to be spontaneous, so here we go.", "[Laughter]", "Stitch: Yeah.", "[Laughter]", "Stitch: All right. Yes, I was -- I was your bodyguard, and you were this temper-tantrum little brat.", "Abby: [Laughs]", "Stitch: But you're the one who saved me. Everybody here, they all know that you got this spark, a spark so bright, you can probably see it from space. And you were there for me when my sister died. You knew when I needed to talk and when I needed to be quiet. I never thought I'd depend on your fire and your quiet. I didn't think that someone could drive me so crazy and make me sane at the same time. [Laughs] [Sighs] I-I didn't think any of this was gonna happen or it was gonna come. So -- and, you know, I think I wrote a pretty good ending, but it's, uh, it's all over the floor right now, so... I'm just gonna say this. I love you, Abby Newman. And I will always love you for the rest of my life. Those who god has joined together, let no one put asunder.

Come on.", "Traci: Uh-oh. Uh-oh.", "Stitch: Yo.", "Traci: Is he trying to steal you away?", "Stitch: Uh...guilty. [Laughs]", "Traci: Come on. You've got to share for just a little while longer. You're gonna have her your whole life.", "Stitch: That sounds pretty amazing.", "Victor: May I have your attention, please? As the father of the bride, I'd like to say a few words. Today my beautiful daughter's beginning her marriage to a man I respect a great deal. Marriage is what you make of it, what you're imbued with. You need to have loyalty and respect, love. And fortunately for me, I've been married to a lady who possesses all these qualities. In a marriage, one part of the couple sometimes puts in more than the other. Remember to forgive each other. And you, stitch, remember that you are a very lucky dude.", "Stitch: I do.", "Abby: [Chuckles]", "Victor: Let us toast to the happy couple.", "All: Cheers.", "[Glasses clink]", "Dylan: Uh, can I have your attention? I guess it's, uh, my turn. Stitch is a hero. I've been in combat with this guy. [Sighs] And I've seen with my own eyes him risk his life for somebody else. Now, he's done some, uh, pretty crazy things to protect other people. But he never did it for the medals, the attention, or even a thank you. He did it because that's just who he is. I'm proud to be your best friend.", "Stitch: Right back at you.", "Dylan: He's a soldier. He's a doctor. And now the most heroic title of all -- husband.", "[Laughter]", "Sharon: Because marriage is so dangerous? Is that what you're saying?", "Dylan: No, that's not what I was saying! I'm just, you know, I mean --", "Stitch: No, no, not at all. He's just saying I'm his hero.", "Dylan: That's right. Stitch, you saved the day again, buddy. Thank you.", "[Glass clinking]", "Victoria: Hi, everyone. I know what a good man Ben is. And I know how well Abby and Ben work together. Somehow they figured it out. But that kindness and that love and that willingness to give, it can't end today. And if you can protect that love and if you can nurture that love... if you can do the work... if you can do the work...", "Chelsea: Then you can and will have the life that you two deserve together.

That should do it. What the hell? I told you not the face!", "Billy: [Grunts]", "Gil: Sorry, Abbott. Bit of a miscommunication. But you got the point, right?", "Billy: [Breathing heavily]", "Gil: Okay. See you tomorrow...with my money.", "Billy: [Coughing] [Groans]", "Michael: Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please!

Shouldn't they be home? Oh, no, wait. That's us.", "Abby: People are watching us.", "Stitch: Yeah? Well, we did the toast-toast, hug-hug thing. Can we get out of here now?", "Abby: Oh, keep it up, husband. We'll be out of here before you know it.", "Stitch: Yeah?", "Dr. Neville: So, did you, in fact, find something to eat? Got to keep up your cover story.", "Ashley: Excuse me?", "Dr. Neville: We're both liars. All that blood sugar nonsense. What have you got? Oh, come on now, Ashley. Doctor-patient privilege and all that. You can't imagine some of the secrets I've kept. I should get a medal. So, miss Abbott, what is ailing you, really? Good talk.", "Adam: What do you give it?", "Sage: Hmm?", "Adam: Six weeks? Six months?", "Sage: Ugh. You are so deranged. That's your sister. She's in love.", "Adam: She's in love. People get married for love anymore?", "Sage: [Chuckles] Yeah, right? How bizarre. No one cheating, lying, pretending. Who would have thought?", "Adam: It's completely bizarre.", "Sage: [Laughs]", "Adam: But you and nick look good, though.", "Sage: Yeah, I think we are.", "Adam: Good.", "Sage: How about you and Chelsea?", "Adam: There are no words.", "[Cheers and applause]", "Abby: Make a break for it?", "Stitch: Oh, yeah.", "Summer: Hey, it's tradition time.", "Abby: What?", "Summer: Yeah, it's another dance between the groom and the mother of the bride. It's sweet, you know? Family bonding.", "Abby: Mom might not feel up to it.", "Summer: Stitch will do all the work. And he probably won't step on your feet.", "Abby: [Chuckles]", "Stitch: Well, uh, give the people what they want, huh?", "Ashley: Okay.", "Stitch: Hey.", "Ashley: Hi. Congratulations.", "Stitch: You should, uh, you should come to the hospital and let me run some tests on you.", "Ashley: Would you please stop? Take a look around. You're at your wedding. Just stop being a doctor and be a husband. Okay? You and Abby both deserve that, right?", "[Cheers and applause]", "Abby: Wow, that was a great dance.", "Ashley: Yeah. Now it's time to eat cake, right?", "Nikki: That was a lovely speech. Words to live by.", "Victor: To ring in the new year. And you know I already live by those words. Last time you and I got married, I said this would be the last wedding. Cheers.", "Nikki: Cheers.", "Stitch: How about now?", "Abby: You want to bolt before the cake?", "Stitch: Ashley herself told me to be a husband. That's all I want to do.", "Abby: I doubt she meant bail on all the guests.", "Stitch: It's a new year's eve party now. No one's gonna miss us. Besides, I want to start 2016 alone with you. Come on.", "Abby: [Laughs]", "Victoria: Ah. No.", "Dylan: What?", "Sharon: Hey.", "[Laughter]", "Dylan: Hey.", "Faith: Can I have sully's slice since he's not here?", "Nick: Oh.", "Dylan: One-track mind.", "Nick: Yeah.", "Sharon: Well, I think we should let the bride and groom have some first.", "Nick: The kid knows when she sees the good stuff.", "Traci: Now all we need is the happy couple to take their positions. I'll be right back.", "Jack: Abby?", "Dylan: Stitch! Oh, sorry. Excuse me.", "Jack: Abby!", "Nick: You know what? I think they may have skipped out on us.", "Jack: Ashley, did, uh, did Abby say anything to you?", "Ashley: No. I didn't even get to say goodbye.", "Stitch: The limo's waiting.", "Abby: Everyone upstairs is probably wondering where we are.", "Stitch: Yeah? Do you want to go back up, explain to them that I'm a husband with needs?", "Abby: Let's leave that part out. I should at least call my mom and wish her a happy new year.", "Stitch: Hey, we can go back up. I mean it. Do the cake, the bouquet, all of it. What-- whatever makes you happy.", "Abby: This. [Chuckles] You. The thought of starting 2016 alone together. That is what makes me happy. Now, get me out of here, husband.", "Stitch: Hmm.", "Abby: [Laughs]", "Stitch: Let's go. Come on.", "Dr. Neville: You know, objectively you're gorgeous. It's true. You're a stunning example of symmetry, genetics, bone structure. It's just remarkable. Somehow right this second, you look like...hell.", "Ashley: Well, how charming of you.", "Dr. Neville: Charming was when I covered for you before. Now I'm being honest. So should you. Tell me what's wrong, Ashley. Let me help you.", "Ashley: You can't help me.", "Jack: Ash?", "Dylan: I think we can, uh, take off now if it's good enough for the newlyweds.", "Sharon: Do you -- you want to leave now?", "Dylan: Well, you know, we have our own little baby new year at home. Let's just go stare at him for an hour or two.", "Sharon: I can't wait.", "Sage: Looks like they're making a break for it. I don't blame them. They have a lot to get home to.", "Nick: You doing okay?", "Sage: I am now.", "Victor: I hate to interrupt.", "Nick: [Sighs]", "Victor: Beautiful wedding, isn't it?", "Nick: Was.", "Victor: This is a strong one built to last.", "Sage: Well, it's tough to know that till you've been through a rough patch.", "Nick: Well, like Vick says, you know, if you put the work in, I think you can make anything happen.", "Sage: Did, um, Nicholas tell you that he and faith moved into the penthouse? It's really wonderful.", "Victor: Really? That so?", "Nick: Yep. Both your sons living in the same building. You can visit us at the same time. We'll save you a drive.", "Victor: [Laughs] Yes.", "Luca: I've seen that look on my father's face. Convinced he owns the world and everyone in it.", "Adam: Well, you know what they say. Pride goeth before the fall. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.", "Luca: So our plan is still on?", "Adam: Well, hell yes, it's still on.", "Luca: Good.", "Adam: Have a good night.", "Devon: You ready for 2016?", "Hilary: Uh, makes me nervous, to be honest, but it can't be worse than 2015, right?", "Devon: Way to set the bar low. Cheers.", "Neil: You know, seeing Devon and Hilary get along, it doesn't make me want a drink. It makes me want everything back the way it should be. I mean, it was never me that she wanted. She can recall those moments, but not the feelings. And what does that do, Nikki? It leaves the three of us all in limbo. And I wish she would stop thinking that I could be her man.", "Nikki: Yeah, well, the heart isn't that easy to control.", "Neil: But it can be swayed. And you, my dear, can help make that happen.", "Victoria: Billy never showed.", "Phyllis: Did he stand you up?", "Victoria: Yes, actually. No. I-I told him that I would be too busy to be his date, but you think that he would at least show up for his niece.", "Jack: I'm afraid it's my fault, Victoria. Billy and I argued, and he ran off.", "Victoria: You argued about what?", "Jack: Business, money. He -- he needed a loan.", "Victoria: Oh, okay. Well, he did mention that he had some irons in the fire.", "Jack: Well, I'm afraid those irons are probably horses that didn't win.", "Victoria: He's gambling again.", "Phyllis: Nice way to soften that blow.", "Jack: I'm sorry, Victoria. Billy is off the rails again, and you and I both know the only person that can help Billy is Billy.", "Victoria: You know, I think there are still a few people that haven't had any cake. Excuse me.", "Phyllis: Now, why would you do that? Why would you hang your brother out to dry?", "Jack: Victoria deserves to know what she's up against, what we're all up against with Billy.", "Phyllis: Did you hear her voice? She wanted to forgive him. You did not get off the pills on your own, if I recall.", "Jack: No, I had help. But I wanted help. I wanted to get better. And once Billy does, I will be the first person to help get him into recovery, but I'm not gonna lie for him, I'm not gonna cover for him. I got other priorities right now.", "Phyllis: That is lovely. What is more important than your brother?", "Jack: Right this minute, my sister, Ashley.", "Ashley: [Sobbing] Useless. Just... it's useless! All completely... useless!!", "[Clattering]", "Ashley: [Sobs]", "Dr. Neville: 15 years of research wasn't useless to Hilary Hamilton. It helped her. It will help other people. It could help you.", "Ashley: [Sniffles]", "Dr. Neville: For god's sake, miss Abbott, please tell me what's wrong with you. Somewhere in this mess may be a cure.", "Ashley: [Sighs] Not for me.", "Dr. Neville: You're nothing if not thorough. I'm guessing you left the world of lip gloss and skin cream for a very personal reason. Fair enough. You said you wanted to do something that matters. Well, this matters. What I do matters. And what we can do together will matter. First, why don't you tell me what exactly it is we're up against.", "Ashley: I had an aneurysm several months ago.", "Dr. Neville: Hmm.", "Ashley: And the surgery went perfectly well. You know, until the part where the doctor found something.", "Dr. Neville: Tumor? So, who have you told? Your daughter, your siblings, Ben Rayburn?", "Ashley: No. Nobody knows but you. And it's gonna stay that way.", "Dr. Neville: Well, that's just it. It can't stay that way.", "Ashley: Oh, it can. It can and it will, because I do not want my daughter Abby to know about this right now. I want her to be happily married and settled in, you know, before anything comes along and ruins it.", "Dr. Neville: That is... the stupidest thing I've ever heard.", "Ashley: I don't give a damn what you think. This is my life, and that's how it's going to be.", "Dr. Neville: Exactly. It's your life. Your life. It's something worth fighting for, is it not? I mean, it's not some three hanky chick flick where the nobility suffer and die in silence. It's about you. Ashley Abbott. You're the one that's going to be settled in. You're the one that's going to be living the life that you deserve. I intend to see to it. And I'll do it whether you like it or not.", "Abby: Hold on! Hold on!", "Stitch: No, just -- all right, hold on, just let me -- hold on one second.", "Abby: Whoa.", "Stitch: Aha!", "Abby: [Laughs]", "Stitch: Yeah. Look at that.", "Abby: Well, you are a master of threshold crossing.", "Stitch: Yeah, heroic maneuvering for my bride.", "Abby: Oh, really?", "Stitch: Yeah.", "Abby: [Chuckles]", "Stitch: Still thinking about the reception, aren't you?", "Abby: Oh, well, my mom is probably furious.", "Abby: Hey, Ashley wants you to be happy.", "Abby: Well, then she got her wish.", "Stitch: Yeah?", "Abby: Because I am insanely happy. We have a marriage, a forever, and a plane to catch. We should probably change. You know, you are on button duty for the next 60 years.", "Stitch: Oh, my god. Like I died and went to heaven.", "Abby: [Laughs]", "Stitch: We, uh... we still have time before the flight.", "Abby: Enough time? Happy new year. [Laughs] And if the sky should fall and tumble right down into the sea there will still be you and me and if everything you touch should turn to gold I-I-I would drink to you because all we really need all I really want from you is a simple love a simple love", "Dylan: Ah!", "Sharon: [Chuckles]", "Dylan: Just checked on him. He's sound asleep. I don't know. Maybe we should wake him up so he doesn't miss the new year.", "Sharon: No, don't wake him up. He's gonna be awake before you know it. And besides, he'll have many more new years in his lifetime.", "Dylan: Right, but he's gonna miss his chance to say goodbye to 2015.", "Sharon: It was a good year, wasn't it?", "Dylan: Hmm. It was a great year. I finally got what I wanted and what I wished for. A family of my own. But 2016 is gonna be even better. Hold on. We need to start a countdown of our own.", "Sharon: What? Is it new year's now?", "Dylan: Doesn't matter. It's our new year's. Come on. All right. All right. You ready?", "Sharon: Mm-hmm.", "Both: 10...", "Dylan: There you go. Good.", "Both: 9... 8... 7...", "All: 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1! Happy new year!", "[Cheers and applause]", "Victor: I love you, my baby.", "Nikki: I love you, too.", "Victor: Be right back.", "Chelsea: How did we get here?", "Adam: Hmm.

[ "Devon's party at his penthouse is nearly underway. Devon recognizes Ana for pulling together the party. She questions whether he wants to go through with it and says people will understand. Devon wants to say goodbye to the terrible year the best way that he knows how. Guests arrive including Abby, Arturo, Cane and Fen. Cane makes a direct path to the bar and instructs the bartender to keep the scotch coming. Lola ignores Kyle's texts and informs everyone including Fen that they broke up. Devon notes Cane is drinking heavily. He asks Cane about Lily. Cane tells him he doesn't know how he is going to mange. Kyle soon arrives at the party and Lola accuses him of crashing the party. Kyle tells her that Abby invited him and that he couldn't pass up an opportunity to see her. Devon becomes annoyed when he asks Ana about the songwriter not being able to meet with him. At Victoria's, she and Phyllis worry about Nick and not hearing from him. Meanwhile the ambulance stops at a private airstrip that Nick immediately recognizes. He tries to phone Victoria but the driver snatches the phone from him and shows him his gun. The driver gets a call from Victor with instructions to move Nikki into the building. Once in the building Victor makes his usual dramatic appearance. Nick and Victor argue about Nikki's week being. Victor tells him to say his goodbyes to his mother and that she will get the help she needs to heal. Nikki assures Nick this is what she wants. Nick confronts Victor and point blank asks if he killed JT. Victor assures him he did not and that he is going to clear his name. Much to Nate's surprise Victor announces that Nate will be coming with them and caring for Nikki.", "Back at Victoria's she and Phyllis worry about the hang up call from Nick and speculate as to what could have happened. They decide it best to stick together and end up opening champagne while they wait. Phyllis fishes for information on Victoria and Billy to which Victoria assures her that old life is in the rear view mirror. Meanwhile Rey arrives home with a surprise night on the town and at fancy hotel. Mia is so looking forward to wearing her dress out on the town. Rey keeps getting notifications on his phone. After kissing and selfie taking Mia finally tells him to check his texts. He learns about Nick's whereabouts at the airstrip. He assures Mia his team can handle it from there but Mia realizes this is everything he has worked for and urges him to go and that she understands. He kisses her and tells her he will make it up to her. After he leaves Mia is sad but knows it was the right thing to do. As Reed arrives home, Phyllis exits and Reed and Victoria chat about Nikki. Victoria expresses that whoever hit Nikki could have taken her. Reed insists that isn't the case and he finally tells her that he knows this because he is the one who hit her. Meanwhile at Devon's the countdown to 2019 is underway and everyone hugs or kisses at midnight. Kyle looks on as Lola plants a long kiss on Fen. Unable to watch further, he heads for the door. At the airstrip the plane is getting ready to leave. Victor thanks Nate and they get ready for takeoff. The pilot tells them they have a problem and that it's too late to take off. Down the strip there are police lights and sirens sounding. Suddenly Rey boards the plane to arrest Victor.", "" ]

Throwing a big new year's eve party? Because there's still time to cancel, and I guarantee no one will fault you for it.", "Devon: No. No, no, no, no, no. I appreciate your concern. But I'm going to say goodbye to this terrible year the best way that I know how, and that's with music and food and drinks, surrounded by family and friends. So, let's toast. To better times ahead.

I still haven't heard anything myself.", "Victoria: If somebody doesn't tell us what's going on soon...", "Phyllis: Given that your mother is missing on new year's eve, I -- I would have expected nick to be back by now, or at least heard something.", "Victoria: Unless he can'T.", "Phyllis: What does that mean?", "Victoria: What if whoever took my mom has nick? Maybe he walked right out of that hospital into a trap.", "Phyllis: First victor goes missing. Then nikki. Now maybe nick. I mean, do you think someone's trying to pick off the newmans one by one?", "Nick: Hey, this is all wrong. My mom is too fragile for this. We got to turn around and get back to the hospital.

Mm-hmm.", "Mia: Have you eaten already, or can I fix you something?", "Rey: The force is all out looking for nikki. The investigation is well in hand.

[ Sighs ] Not atall. I am, uh -- I'm beyond done with that. I have found better ways to deal with my pain. I'm still seeing that therapist, and I'm getting a grip on my anxiety.

Don't try and pull anything, and we'll get along fine.", "Nate: George, believe me, we're all on the same side, okay? All we want is what's best for nikki.

Maybe his battery's dead, or it lost signal. Or, you know what, maybe he is so driven to find your mother that keeping us in the loop is not his first priority.", "Victoria: Or maybe something really terrible did happen, and I have every right to be upset right now.", "Phyllis: I don't want to go there, okay? Not yet.", "Victoria: Well, I can't help having this feeling in my gut that this has something to do with J.T. The stable fires, the bloody clothes showing up at the house, dad being framed. You know we could be next? You know that, don't you? Um, sharon. What about sharon? She doesn't even know about any of this.", "Phyllis: She is at a class for continuing education for her advocate job.", "Victoria: Okay, well, I think that we should -- should warn her, and at least give her a heads up about all this.

I mean, it's probably safer that way, anyhow. The kids are upstairs asleep. I sent hannah home. Reed's off at some party.", "Phyllis: Good. Then we wouldn't have to be alone, either of us. So, what do we do now?

I just kind of...keep it there at all times. It's an old habit of mine. You know, just in case there's ever anything to celebrate. I'm not superstitious by nature, but I feel like it invites good luck into my life.", "Phyllis: You and I, ringing in the new year, watching each other's back -- what could be luckier than that?", "Victoria: Okay. Well, then, I'll crack that bad boy open.", "Phyllis: Okay. [ Sighs ] So, did you have any plans of your own tonight before things got crazy?", "Victoria: Nope. Billy is gonna be hanging out with traci and dina, and the kids never stay up past 8:00 anyway.", "Phyllis: Well, you weren't planning on your own private party with billy?

I mean, I just couldn't get away from chancellor.", "Devon: Well, I'm glad you showed up, though.", "Cane: Mm.", "Devon: You should take it easy on that before you get some food in your stomach, all right?", "Cane: [ Sighs ]", "[ Laughter ]", "Arturo: \"Newfoundland new year\"?", "Abby: My friend janet was telling me all about it.

A chocolate martini. You can drink it while you cry on my shoulder.", "Lola: Best offer I've had all night.", "Fen: Come on. Hey.", "Abby: I can't believe this. She was so good for him.", "Arturo: [ Scoffs ] I wonder what he did to screw things up?", "Abby: Hey, that's my cousin you're talking about.", "Arturo: Um... more champagne. That -- that's a great idea.", "Abby: Mm-hmm.", "Ana: I met kyle. I thought he seemed nice. And lola didn't seem exactly 100% over him.", "Abby: You got that too, right?", "Ana: Mm-hmm.", "Abby: Hmm. Well, maybe she just needs a little shove in the right direction.", "Ana: Or maybe a nudge around midnight, genoa city time?", "Abby: Mm-hmm. [ Laughs ]", "Victor: \"Stable for now\"? What do you mean by that? When -- when can we expect her to have recovered?", "Nate: Victor, you know that i cannot guarantee anything, especially her long- term outlook, without continued medical attention. And by that, I do not mean shuttling her around in an ambulance.", "Victor: Let me assure you, I'm not going to endanger her life.", "Nick: How can you even say that? Mom has been through hell.", "Victor: You don't think I know that?", "Nick: Where were you when she needed you most?", "Victor: I was right here by her side. While you were celebrating christmas with the children, I held her in my arms, I talked to her, tried to give her courage and strength so that she can come back to us. And I think she heard me.", "Nate: It is possible. Nikki's recovery was sudden and dramatic. It was the last thing that I was anticipating.", "Victor: Did you tell him what we intend to do?", "Nick: I want to hear it from you.", "Victor: I want to protect your mother. Not only from the bastard who tried to kill her. I want to take her somewhere where she has peace of mind so that she can recover and come back to us. Because of the false allegations against me, I have to take her somewhere else. I can't stay here. They'll arrest me.", "Nick: All right. So what's the plan? You just gonna jet mom off to some other country, probably one without extradition?", "Victor: I don't need to tell you where we are going. But you best say goodbye to your mother, because you may not see either one of us again for some time. The hard work you put into lowering your", "Phyllis: Oh, my gosh. I didn't realize there were so many cooking shows on tv.", "Victoria: Are you, um, hungry? Because I-I can throw something together.", "Phyllis: Oh, no, no, no. Popcorn's fine, thank you.

But you could still understand how some people would think there is something more going on between you two, since you were his date at the jabot holiday party.", "Victoria: I was purely a plus-one. Why are you so interested if you're so... not, you know, interested?", "Phyllis: I am not trying to push you two together, believe me, okay? I'm just saying that, you know, some people could think that it would be the perfect \"happily ever after\" -- you know, family reunited.

And I don't think I am ready to be stepmom to faith and christian just yet.", "Victoria: You know, going back to a past love can be nice. But I learned the hard way what a trap that can be, thinking that you can fix things that were broken to begin with.", "Phyllis: Yeah, they call it a break up because it was broken.", "Victoria: Exactly. I thought that J.T. Was the answer to that, but he ended up being the biggest mistake I ever made in my life.", "Phyllis: Please don't tell me you're comparing J.T. To billy.", "Victoria: God, no. Of course not. They're completely different. I [Sighs] Am just leery of going backwards when my future is thataway.", "Nick: I cannot believe you were just gonna disappear with mom without telling anyone. Does mom even get a vote in this?", "Victor: [ Inhales ] If your mother wants to leave me, she's free to go. I promise you.", "Nick: I can put an end to this right now --", "Victor: But you won'T. Because you know damn well that's not what your mother wants. She feels safe with me. Safer than anywhere, and with anyone else.", "Nikki: Listen to your father.", "Victor: My sweet baby. You heard all that? You were awake? Look into your beautiful eyes.", "Nate: You're on board with victor's plan?", "Nikki: Yes, I am. Nicholas...

I'd like to examine my patient, if you don't mind.", "Victor: Not at all.", "Nick: This is wrong. This is wrong! There has to be another way without you tearing apart our family again.", "Victor: This is not your decision, son.", "Nick: But doesn't this make you look even more guilty? Or is that the point? Are you guilty? Did you kill J.T.?", "Rey: [ Sighs ] How's it going in there? You almost ready?", "Mia: Baby, you can't rush perfection.", "Rey: [ Chuckles ] Don't I know it.", "Mia: So...", "Rey: [ Chuckles ] Oh, ho!", "Mia: ...What do you think?", "Rey: Yeah.", "Mia: Yeah?", "Rey: Yeah, yeah.

You're coming with us.", "Rey: I was concerned that nick newman was gonna go off on his own and interfere with the case, so I had my team track his phone. He just made a phone call from a private airfield not far from genoa city. My team is headed over there right now.", "Mia: Why would nick be there?", "Rey: Could be he lied about his mom. Maybe he's helping victor get her out of the country.", "Mia: You really think that's possible?", "Rey: My team is headed over there now.

I'm fine.", "Jack: You're wrong. I know you have summer, but we can't let our children fulfill our lives. They have lives of their own. You've broken ties with adam.

We're actually gonna take off to london tonight, and it's just gonna be the two of us, meaning we're not gonna be discussing any will business or money...", "Jill: Or any lookalike lawyers.", "Devon: Mnh-mnh, no. Not at all. Not at all.", "Jill: [ Laughs ]", "Devon: Yeah, it's -- 2019 has not been my year, and I can't wait for it to be done.", "Jill: Oh, boy, I'll second that. I deeply regret letting colin drag me into his evil orbit again.", "Devon: Mm. It's not your fault, jill.", "Jill: Well, that's nice of you to say. But if I'd had my eyes open, he never would have been able to swindle you out of your inheritance.", "Devon: Mm.", "Jill: Devon. I promise you, I swear to you, we're gonna get your money back for you. No, really, the authorities are looking for colin, cane's looking for him...", "Devon: Mm, you can stop right there because I'm not nearly as convinced as you are that cane is on our side.", "Abby: [ Sighs deeply ] Finally! A moment to breathe.", "Chance: That's why you make the big bucks.", "Abby: Well, I would gladly trade some of those bucks for an uninterrupted hour of rest and relaxation.", "Chance: A loaf of bread, a bottle of malbec...", "Abby: Mmm. You read my mind. But, in the meantime, can i offer you a complimentary adult beverage at the bar?", "Chance: I might go for that.", "Abby: Might?", "Chance: Any strings attached?", "Abby: No, I just want to make one of my very special guests feel comfortable.", "Chance: So no favors, nothing you want to ask me?", "Abby: Mm, there is one little thing, but I don't think it would qualify as a favor.", "Chance: Okay. I'm official intrigued.", "[ Cellphone rings ]", "Abby: [ Sighs ] God, it's just -- it's one of those days. Um, tell the bartender to get you whatever you want.", "Chance: Wait, you're just gonna leave me hanging, not even one little hint?", "Abby: Mm.", "Phyllis: Hello.", "Nick: Hey!", "Phyllis: What a lucky coincidence. Um, I just, uh, ran into jack. I'm meeting summer here.", "Nick: Well, here I am!", "Phyllis: Here you are! [ Giggles ] Um... I guess the universe is trying to tell me something. I ran into two exes in one day. I mean, the good exes.", "Nick: Or it could be that we just live in a small town.", "Phyllis: Yeah, it could be that. [ Sighs ] Can I sit down?", "Nick: What if I said no?", "Phyllis: [ Giggles ] I'd sit down anyway.", "Nick: [ Chuckles ]", "Phyllis: So... [ Sighs ] How are you doing?", "Nick: Uh... I'm all right, you know, I'm just hanging out here. Beats waiting at home, climbing the walls, waiting for chelsea to get back to me. I, uh... I told her what adam tried to do. -Phyllis: Oh.", "Nick: She's outraged, so she ran over there, and, uh, I'm sure she's laying into him.", "Phyllis: You don't look thrilled.", "Nick: Well, it's adam, you know, and we both know what that means. He will do anything, say anything to minimize the damage and keep chelsea close.", "Phyllis: I mean, do you think she'll buy it? That's what you're afraid of.", "Adam: I know you're angry, and you have every right to be.", "Chelsea: Anger does not even begin to describe it. Try disgusted.", "Adam: I told phyllis on the same day we found out connor was gonna be able to go back to school for the new year.", "Chelsea: Oh! Oh! Well, then that explains everything.", "Adam: Chelsea, chelsea, would you please just let me finish? Okay? I was angry, and I was worried. And I was desperate to fix things. I had seen the progress that we were making, and I thought that things could have been even better if the three of us were here together.", "Chelsea: You know, when you thought to proposition phyllis, what did you -- I mean, what did you think? You really thought that nick was just gonna -- just gonna jump into bed with her?", "Adam: I did it because i never thought you and nick would last, and this would have just accelerated the inevitable break-up.", "Chelsea: That is pathetic.", "Adam: Chelsea...", "Chelsea: No, you decided that my relationship with nick wasn't real. You decided that I belonged here with you. Anything else you've decided about my future, adam?", "Adam: I am really sorry that you're angry. You know what, and I'm glad phyllis turned me down.", "Chelsea: Oh, no, you're not.", "Adam: I am, chelsea. Okay? I should have just come to you and laid everything out on the table and told you that I felt that something was happening between us. And maybe the reason that you felt conflicted about living here was because you felt it, too. And, deep down, you didn't want to go back to nick's house, you wanted to stay here with me and connor. And, you know what, it took me until christmas to be honest with myself about how I'm feeling, but I'll be honest with you now. I love you, and I've never stopped loving you. And every second that you are away from me to be with nick, it is like a knife in my heart.", "Chelsea: I shouldn't be surprised that you would stoop to something like this. It's not exactly out of character.", "Adam: Okay, well, I deserved that.", "Chelsea: Yeah. Damn right, you deserved that! I mean, didn't you realize i would discover all of this information eventually anyway, adam? You involved phyllis, for god's sake. Oh, and she must be loving this. You practically handed her an opportunity not just to hurt me, but to make herself look like the hero in nick's eyes.", "Adam: No. I don't think so. She was every bit as angry as you are. And I don't think she's ever gonna forgive me.", "Chelsea: Is that what you want from me, adam, to forgive you?", "Adam: No. I want you to open your heart, and I want you to accept what i just said to you.", "Chelsea: That you love me.", "Adam: Yes. I do.", "Chelsea: How do I know this isn't just another manipulation, just another round of this constant battle between you and your brother, huh?", "Adam: No, this has nothing to do with nick. This is about us and our possible future together.", "Chelsea: Adam, you are confused.", "Adam: I am not confused. I have never been more clear and certain about anything in my entire life, chelsea.", "Chelsea: It's not me that you want, it's connor's mother!", "Adam: No, it's not! It is both of you, okay? It's -- [ Sighs deeply ] It's everything. I mean, it's what we had years ago... that we were never able to get back. [ Sighs ] I mean, don't you remember? We were ready to leave genoa city. We were ready to just start over. And all we needed was the three of us. And that is even more true now than it was then. Because I need you in my corner. I need you, I need our family to be reunited again in every sense of the word. Okay? We've been given this gift of a second chance, and I cannot bear to let it pass by without a fight. Can you?", "Phyllis: You think that chelsea will believe what adam says, right?", "Nick: I do, but connor is her weakness, and I know adam is not above using that to his advantage.", "Phyllis: Wouldn't it be great to put a camera in the penthouse?", "Nick: [ Chuckles ] What?", "Phyllis: But I would not do that because that is frowned upon.", "Nick: Yeah, it's frowned upon. You know what -- you know what, I don't want to talk about chelsea.", "Phyllis: Oh, that's fine. I get that.", "Nick: It's not because i don't trust you, because I do. I just would prefer talking about anything else.", "Phyllis: Let's talk about sports.", "Nick: Let's do that. How about the match-ups in the college football bowl season? What are your thoughts?", "Phyllis: Ooh! Um, I... will get back to you on that. [ Both laugh ] Um, I think you'd find my conversation with jack interesting.", "Nick: All right, hit me.", "Phyllis: All right. We were talking about friendship and valuing those people, um, who are good to us and those people we love and weeding out the others.", "Nick: I love getting rid of weeds.", "Phyllis: Yeah. Me, too. Adam was a weed to me. He was. He treated me like garbage. And even though you -- and you had every opportunity not to -- but you left the door open so we... can still be friends.", "Nick: Sure would be a good opportunity for me to make fun of your bad judgment.", "Phyllis: Yeah, but, see, you wouldn't do that because you wouldn't want to ruin this moment here.", "Nick: You're right, I'm not gonna do that.", "Phyllis: Yes, and you're smart, so... [ Laughs ]", "Nick: Okay.", "Summer: Hey. I didn't expect to see you two here together. What's going on?", "Theo: This is your idea of minor adjustments to my social media marketing plan?", "Kyle: First of all, it's jabot's plan, and, yes, I think there needs to be a better balance between the sales potential and the public relations angle.", "Theo: It's there already.", "Kyle: Not to my satisfaction.", "Theo: Would it be there if summer had turned this in without my name on it?", "Kyle: You're missing the point.", "Theo: No, I get it. You don't want me here, but you're stuck with me, so you'll do anything you can to keep me down.", "Kyle: 'Cause I'm such a mean boss.", "Theo: No, just resentful.", "Kyle: Of you? [ Laughs ]", "Theo: You know, I see right through you, abbott, all the way. You feel threatened as hell.", "Kyle: Okay, look. I'm trying to make an effort because, like it or not, we're family.", "Theo: [ Chuckles ]", "Kyle: And it's important to my dad and lola and summer that you and I figure out a way to get along.", "Theo: Yeah, hell of an effort.", "Kyle: This is business. Projects get criticized. I get criticized when my work doesn't measure up, so what makes you so special?", "Theo: I'm not trying to be special. I'm just tired of you rubbing my nose in every mistake you think I've made. You know, you had a lot more respect for my talent back in the day. Hell, you know you once considered me such a good friend, you could trust me with anything! You did, too. Remember?", "Kyle: Oh, we are not talking about new york again, ever!", "Jack: What did I just walk in on?", "Kyle: It's nothing, dad.", "Theo: Kyle and I were just having a discussion about my pitch.", "Kyle: Yeah, and we worked it out.", "Theo: We sure did.", "Jack: Well, good. I'm glad to hear that. I know you two are still finding your way, but, around here, the work comes first.", "Theo: Absolutely.", "Jack: I need to speak with kyle.", "Theo: Consider me out of here.", "Jill: I know that you and cane have your issues.", "Devon: Oh, well, I don't trust him, that's my issue.", "Jill: Well, I would argue otherwise, but I have a feeling that you wouldn't listen.", "Devon: It's -- it doesn't matter anyway. We'll find out sooner or later whether he's innocent or not. But it's not even about the money anymore. It's about what colin to violate katherine's final wishes. And whoever was involved with him is gonna pay for it.", "Abby: I'm all yours.", "Chance: Are you, now?", "Abby: Promise. So... what have you been up to?", "Chance: Besides waiting on you, I've been thinking about maybe exactly what it is that you want from me.", "Abby: Mmm, come up with any theories?", "Chance: A few.", "Abby: Let's hear them.", "Chance: Well, at first, i thought you might have another jewel thief here in the building that needed a good, stern talking to.", "Abby: Uh, let's not go there.", "Chance: And then I moved on to dragon-slaying, but I should warn you -- I'm afraid of fire.", "Abby: Oh, I find it hard to believe that you're afraid of anything.", "Chance: Mm, you'd be surprised.", "Abby: What else?", "Chance: You know what, I don't know. Do you need a dance partner, some light housekeeping? Because I do iron a mean shirt.", "Abby: No, no, and no.", "Chance: Oh.", "Abby: I plan on throwing a new year's eve party, and I'm inviting both sides of my family.", "Chance: Under one roof?", "Abby: That's the plan.", "[ Laughs ]", "Chance: So you want me to work security, keep the peace. I should tell you now, we're probably gonna need backup.", "Abby: Actually, the newmans and the abbotts are in a low-conflict phase.", "Chance: That's good to know.", "Abby: But what I wanted to ask you, if you don't have any other plans, is if you'd like to come with me.", "Chance: I don't know. I probably should think about it.", "Abby: I know it's last-minute --", "Chance: Okay, I thought about it, I'd love to.", "Abby: Then it's a date.", "Chance: Actually, since we'll be together at midnight, it's two dates. The last of this year, and the first of next.", "Summer: Well, you two seem to be having a blast, so what did i miss?", "Phyllis: Well, uh, let's see. Usual high jinks, character assassination...", "Summer: Mm.", "[ Laughter ]", "Nick: We're talking about christian getting his new set of drums and how his face lit up.", "Summer: Oh, yeah, no, his face lit up, but my ears almost exploded.", "Phyllis: Oh!", "Nick: Yeah, that thing's going on the basement real quick.", "Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, you want to cultivate their creativity, but you want to keep your sanity, so...", "Summer: Mm-hmm.", "Phyllis: Well done.", "Nick: Thank you.", "Phyllis: He was happy, right?", "Nick: Super happy, yeah.", "Phyllis: Good. Good job.", "[ Cellphone rings ]", "Nick: Excuse me. Yep, new hope business. I got to go.", "Summer: Oh, okay, I'll see you at home?", "Nick: Yep.", "Summer: Okay.", "Phyllis: See you later.", "Nick: Bye.", "Phyllis: Bye.", "Summer: Really? Dad? Again?", "Phyllis: What? What are you talking about?", "Summer: Oh, come on, I can see the way that you were staring at him.", "Phyllis: Summer! Your dad and I are friends. We're in such a good place. I'm very happy. Honestly, I don't want complications, and your dad's life is complicated enough, trust me.", "Chelsea: I can't have this conversation right now.", "Adam: That doesn't change the truth, chelsea.", "Chelsea: Your truth, not mine.", "Adam: Look, are -- are you afraid of actually getting what you want and losing it again? Is that why you're holding back?", "Chelsea: Stop chasing the past, adam. It has nothing to do with now, today. You're caught up with what might have been, that's what this is.", "Adam: You don't believe that any more than I do. This is real. You know that this is real.", "Chelsea: I -- I don't know if I can trust you.", "Adam: Look at me. There is nobody that knows me the way you do. And, deep down, you know I meant everything that I just said. I love you. And, yes, I know that nick made you feel safe, and I know that you care about him. But, with me, you can feel whole." ]
