Elena: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Elena: Sorry I’m late.

Lily: Oh, I’m sure you have a lame excuse, like, you know, you were saving lives.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, it was a tough shift, emotionally and physically. I am wiped out.

Lily: Oh, we could’ve postponed the meeting until you had a chance to get some rest.

Elena: No, no, actually, this meeting is what got me through hours at the hospital. I’m really excited about askmdnow. I’ve been jotting down notes in my phone.

************************

Nate: Oh, no, no, I just, um — I want Moses to find something that makes him happy. And it looks like that’s gonna be music. And you. I hear you two have a big date coming up.

Faith: You heard about that?

Nate: Mm-hmm, he’s been talking about it. Thank you.

Faith: Oh, yeah, it should be fun. Did he tell you what he had planned?

Nate: Uh, he did.

Faith: It’s gonna be great. I’m really looking forward to going to that place. You know, the place.

Nate: Yeah, that’s not gonna work. Moses told me it was a surprise. You’re getting nothing from me.

Faith: I had to try.

Billy: Hey there, Nikki. Nice to see you out and about. No Victor?

Nikki: I’m just picking up a quick bite for us.

Billy: Mm. Well, I’m surprised you have time to even eat, with everything you’re juggling, your high-powered job, you’re a wife, mother, grandmother extraordinaire. You are a real superwoman.

Nikki: Just a woman, actually.

Billy: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. So, how’s the wedding plans coming?

Nikki: Please don’t pretend to care. I know you’re only hoping to find a reason to blow Victoria’s wedding out of the water

***********************

Billy: Well, Nikki, I am simply doing my job as the head of a media company, and this wedding is making headlines.

Nikki: Mm-hmm. For the right reasons — two notable people getting married, a high-society affair. But your personal agenda should not be making news. But if you hurt my daughter in the meantime, I promise you, you will regret it.

Billy: Well, threat noted. But let me be very clear. The last person I want to see hurt is Victoria. I’m actually on her side. And I’m surprised that you’re not more concerned about who Ashland Locke really is.

Nikki: I happen to trust Victoria’s judgment.

Billy: So, you’re not the least bit worried that there’s basically no documented history of the first two decades of his life? I see. Victoria didn’t share that information with you, did she?

Phyllis: Hey.

Nick: I thought that I would come to the gym and try out that new trainer you hired.

Phyllis: Oh, good, good. Tell me what you think. Although you could show him a thing or two.

Nick: Well, flattery will get you everywhere.

Phyllis: I mean, I know ’cause I’m up close and personal with all of your muscles.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Alright. Well, I’ll give you the full report when I’m done.

**********************

Victoria: You know, there are times when you think you’re being so, so charming, and yet you are so far off the mark. It makes me wonder if you even know what the definition is. And take my word for it. It’s not your most endearing trait.

Billy: Well, I’m in the media business. I don’t need to be endearing. It’s not exactly in the job description. But let’s just squash that for now. You still haven’t told me why Nate — or how Nate — became Ashland’s new bff.

Victoria: They’re not bffs. Ashland is giving money to the hospital. They happen to have a few things in common. They’ve hit it off. Oh, I’m sorry if that’s not scandalous and titillating enough for you to feed your readers. But that’s not gonna stop you from digging, is it?

Ashland: There you are.

Victoria: Oh, thank you. You’re smart, you’re handsome, and you know how I like my coffee. You are a triple threat.

************************

Ashland: I wanted somebody that mattered to both of us going forward and not someone from my past.

Victoria: Well, I guess Nate qualifies.

Ashland: Indeed he does. I was thinking of asking Victor, but, uh, he’s walking you down the aisle, I’m assuming. Jack Abbott — well, that’s a complicated dynamic. And of course there’s always billy.

Victoria: What?!

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] I’m kidding.

Victoria: Oh, good. I thought you were serious.

Phyllis: Where’s your she-devil tonight?

Adam: Why? So you can douse her with a champagne bucket again?

Phyllis: She brought me down to her level, which is even low for you.

Adam: Mm. Well, we, um, mud-dwellers have to stick together, you know?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Look at you. I knew this new, improved version of Adam Newman wouldn’t last long. Do you know that Sally would be out of town if you didn’t allow Chloe to hire her?

*****************************

Adam: Or unless you want to tell me what your real issue is with Sally. Then I’m all ears.

Phyllis: You already know my issue with Sally.

Adam: I think I was right the first time that we discussed her — that you see a little bit of yourself in her.

Phyllis: I’m not even gonna dignify that with a response.

Adam: You have a tell, Phyllis. Every time that you swan out of a room without getting the last word, I know that I hit a nerve. Mm.

Victor: That woman threw a drink into Phyllis’s face at an event that you and I had been planning. If I were you, I’d see to it that she seeks employment elsewhere, okay?

Adam: Maybe Phyllis had it coming.

Victor: This a joke to you or what?

Adam: Sally let her temper get the best of her after Phyllis provoked her. It was both of their faults.

Victor: Can you blame Phyllis after what that woman has done to Summer?

Adam: Bottom line — I’m not interested in getting involved in their personal details, okay? I’m focused on business.

Victor: You’re focusing on monkey business. This is the second night you’re spending with this woman.

Adam: I’m not “spending the night” with her. We’re grabbing a bite. It’s a working dinner.

Victor: Working dinner, huh? Is that what they call it now? If I were you, son, I would strategize with me how to defeat ChanceCom.

***************************

Elena: So, tell me about the dress.

Victoria: Well, um, I haven’t nailed down a designer yet, but I’m waiting to talk to Summer’s boss — Angelina Marchetti. I’m not holding my breath. I know she’s really in demand. She might not have time to do it, so I might have to move on as the date approaches.

Elena: Ugh, that is such a hard decision. Honestly, the dress is the most important part. [ Laughter ] You laugh, but it’s true. Have you decided on a style yet?

Victoria: Oh, nothing over the top, but at the same time, the aesthetic of the ceremony is certainly not minimalistic.

Elena: I totally get it. This wedding is gonna infuse so much joie de vivre. You need a dress that goes in line with that.

Ashland: Yes! Joie de vivre. That is exactly the spirit of this event — the joy of life.

Rey: Glad we’re getting off to a good start.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Well, I’m happy to have a do-over if, uh — what is this? That’s Connor’s.

Rey: Yeah. I’m returning it. [ Cap thuds ] I ran into him in the park earlier. I hadn’t seen him since we got back from Minnesota. Told me how much fun he’d had at lacrosse camp. Anyhow, when he took off with his nanny, I noticed he’d forgotten his cap.

Adam: Uh-huh. I remember when I bought this for Connor. He wouldn’t take it off for a week. He slept in it, took a bath in it. It’s his favorite. He would, uh, be crushed if he lost it.

Rey: Well, crisis averted.

Adam: Mm. I’m sure that he’ll want to thank you.

Rey: It’s not a problem.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Hey, and my dad told me about what happened to Mariah and how you helped track her down. Sounds like you deserve some major props.

Rey: Devon Hamilton’s the real hero. Make a pretty good detective. He had a feeling about Stitch, and he never let it go.

Adam: Well, I had no idea that things had gotten so far off course.

Rey: You say that as if you were expecting updates. Why would you think you’re part of the inner circle?

Adam: Because I care?

Rey: About Mariah or about Sharon?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, would you look at that. That is the longest conversation we’ve had without Sharon coming up. Sure was nice while it lasted, Rey, but your jealousy is constant.

*******************************

Mariah: You do realize your pledge to torture and destroy Stitch would get us both locked away forever?

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: But I love how protective you are.

Victoria: Well, no black eyes, no bruises. You don’t seem hungover. Those are all very positive signs.

Billy: No, I was on very good behavior, although some of the other guests, not so much.

Victoria: Really?

Billy: Yeah. There is a new troublemaker in town, and she is not afraid to take on the big dogs. Her name…

Victoria: Drum roll…

Billy: Sally Spectra.

Victoria: Oh, really? What has Sally Spectra pulled now?

***************************

Adam: Good morning.

Sally: I didn’t expect to see you up and out so early this morning.

Adam: Sally, relax.

Sally: Yeah, that’s easy for you to say ’cause after that kiss last night and you telling me that nothing like that can ever happen again, I can’t help but wonder what you might think of me in the cold light of day.

Adam: Oh, you mean this awkwardness — it had nothing to do with your little champagne and ice battle with Phyllis?

Victor: Your little display with that Spectra woman was something.

Phyllis: She threw a drink in my face.

Victor: Kindly refrain from any further antics, alright?

Phyllis: Victor, I can’t be responsible for who your — your son, Adam, decides to escort here on his arm. I mean, that girl is trouble. I provide the venue and the food, but the rest is you.

Victor: Phyllis, behave.

***********************************

Billy: I found nothing. No secret, no surprise about what they’re planning on launch tonight, which means there’s nothing going on, and this is all smoke and mirrors. Either way [Sighs] What are we doing wasting our time? Let’s get the hell out of here.

Lily: Okay, is it possible maybe you heard all the positive buzz going around and you got bummed out?
[ Chuckles ] Come on. What do you expect? We’re at a party filled with people singing Newman Media’s praises. Doesn’t mean that we can’t try to outmaneuver them still.

Billy: I know, but it’s nauseating, watching them congratulate each other over and over. Let’s go have dinner at Society.

Lily: Oh, my — no, that is petty.

Billy: What’s worse, I die of boredom, watching them pat each other on the back over and over and over?

Lily: Well, if you die of boredom, then you can’t indulge in what I have planned later.

Jack: Congratulations on this new venture. I wish you lots of success with it.

Adam: Mm, thank you, Jack.

Jack: Evening, Sally.

Sally: Jack.

Phyllis: You know, I don’t know if success is in the cards for this coupling. I’m pretty sure — now I was just telling Jack that the two of you are probably gonna destroy each other, so have a good time while it lasts.

Adam: We will. Thanks*

***************************************************

Billy: And the award for the most obnoxious entrance goes to Adam and Sally.

Jack: You don’t have to worry about them. There won’t be any trouble as long as everyone is on their best behavior.

Billy: Are you talking about me?

Phyllis: You mean me?

Jack: Yes and yes.

Chloe: Do you know what time it is?

Sally: Why does that feel like a trick question?

Chloe: [ Laughs ] It is time for you to officially meet my friend and business partner, Chelsea Lawson.

*********************************

Nick: I wish I could leave it alone, you know? I wish I could trust Victoria’s instincts when it comes to Ashland, but I can’t shake this feeling that he can’t be trusted. I mean, why does this wedding have to happen so fast? It doesn’t make sense. There’s got to be more to the story.

Phyllis: I understand, but if she’s happy, just let her be happy.

Nick: I wish I felt that way for all the reasons you said. I do. You know, when you find love, you got to grab onto it.

Phyllis: I know you’re worried about your sister, and i think that’s beautiful. And I’m the last person to judge you for running interference after what I did, so I’m not gonna argue with you, okay?

Phyllis: Hey. You here for a meeting?

Billy: No. No, just here to grab a drink.

Phyllis: Getting a drink now when you’re — you’re gonna be here tonight?

Billy: Yeah. Is that okay with you?

Phyllis: It’s okay with me. It’s just odd.

Billy: Odd? Odd like you hosting a party for Victor and Adam, two people you despise?

Phyllis: Well, I despise them, but see, I’m getting paid for tonight. You’re here voluntarily.

Billy: Yeah. Well, to be honest, it’s not voluntary. I love the oysters. Can’t get enough of them.

****************************

Sally: Well, I will be attending the launch party tonight in my professional capacity, and I’ve seen the guest list, so I know that you will be there, too, so I just wanted to give you a heads up so you wouldn’t be surprised when you see me.

Jack: You thought somehow i would be traumatized seeing you at a party thrown by your new employer? Just how fragile do you think i am?

Sally: [ Scoffs ] It’s not that, I just didn’t want you to think that I had some ulterior motive being there, like I was following you.

Jack: Thought never occurred to me. And it wouldn’t have mattered if it did.

Ashland: Uh, doc, I would appreciate your discretion on this.

Nate: Of course. Victoria is a friend of mine. I’m always happy to help out. Look, I don’t want to press you too hard, and maybe you’d prefer to speak to someone else about this. I’m cool with that. I can even give you a referral, if you like, but in the meantime, these vitamin supplements, they’re good for energy. I’ve seen help out other patients deal with fatigue while undergoing chemo. Now, it’s just two a day — one in the morning and one at night. I’ll leave them right there for you.

Ashland: Thank you, sir. That’s very kind, but I know you’re the new big-shot at the hospital. You’re chief of surgery, right?

Nate: That’s right.

Ashland: Well, so I would imagine you have more important things to do than tucking me in for a post-chemo nap.

Nate: Uh, not right now. I’m off duty. And I wanted to get you out of there. I know a man of your stature likes to project strength, and I’m sure you didn’t want anyone seeing you struggle like that.

Ashland: That’s very thoughtful of you. Thank you.

Nate: But you need to remember that chemotherapy doesn’t care about appearances or how tough you are because chemo can be tougher.

Ashland: Dr. Hastings, I’m beginning to realize that.

********************************

Nate: I, uh, injured my hand last year. Still can’t operate. My whole world was wrapped around me being a surgeon, and suddenly I can’t perform surgery.

Ashland: And you were able to get past it?

Nate: Took a while, but i learned I had to be honest with myself about my limitations. I had to learn how to ask for help when it was needed. It’s not a sign of weakness.

Ashland: You sound like Victoria.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] I’m no oncologist, but I’ve seen enough cases that each round of chemo you go through can be different. There’s nothing to be gained by pretending you’re dealing with it better than you are and there’s no shame in admitting that this sucks.

Ashland: You know, you’re asking me to unlearn decades of behavior. That’s a big change.

Nate: Well, your life has changed. You need to recognize that and be honest with yourself about it. Being stoic may only prolong your agony. And your doctors might be able to make it a little better if you’re open with them.

Ashland: Noted.

Nate: Same goes for Victoria. I personally understand the instinct to want to hide the worst of your situation from her, but don’t. She’s an ally. Let her help you.

Ashland: You were right, doctor. This sucks.
