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.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] That was a nice walk, huh? Thanks for going with me. It’s so nice just to have someone who understands exactly what I’m going through.

Tessa: You helped me, too.

Sharon: You know, if Mariah were here right now, she’d probably crack a joke about the heavy-duty bonding we’re doing over how much we love her.

---

Mariah: [ Breathing heavily ] [ Groaning ] Ohh, that was — that was really strong for such a little guy. Which probably means that we’re gonna be meeting face to face pretty soon.
[ Exhales ] Which is good because, according to Mr. Clock over there, we’ve still got some time to kill.
[ Exhales ] Which gives the maniac who’s had us trapped in here for weeks now time to do the right thing. Take me to a hospital, please! You don’t want to be responsible if something goes horribly wrong, do you?
[ Breathing heavily ] Oh, don’t worry, don’t worry, Bowie. Just kidding. I was just trying to inflict some guilt. Everything’s gonna be fine. Everything’s gonna be fine.

Abby: I hate even thinking about Stitch this way.

Victor: So do I. God forbid, but listen, as a parent, you must consider all possibilities.

Abby: What, and be suspicious of everyone around me, even people close to me?

Victor: Sweetheart, you can’t pay attention to people’s feelings. You can’t worry about that, not when it comes to the security of your child.

---

Mariah (talking to the baby): Ohh. Okay. I got to talk to you now, alright? I didn’t think that any of this would happen. When this all started out, I was trying to help Abby and Chance. Then after I got pregnant, the morning sickness — oh, god. [Laughs] I don’t know what it was, dude, about the smell of my shampoo or peaches. But you made my life miserable for a little while, you know that? And I was really worried that this was gonna be really difficult [Panting] Until you were born. And after I got trapped in here, I just… I started to see things completely differently. [Exhales shakily] You kept me sane. Mm! And I really hope I did the same for you. So I want to let you know now — okay — that you are loved. Yeah. You are, so much. And I promise you, I don’t throw around that term lightly. Not like other people do. You don’t know this, but I didn’t grow up with a lot of love, so…I was pretty bad at it. And even now, there’s only a handful of people that I truly love in this world. You’re one of them, okay? And you’re gonna be fine. Gonna be fine. Because I protect the people I love with my life.

Gloria: Oh, hello, angels. Listen, we are in the middle of a business meeting, so if you two could move along.

Chloe: Oh, well, we actually have a table for two in mind, so don’t worry.

Kevin: Enjoy your lunch. Good luck. Geez.

Chloe: I wonder what that was all about.

Kevin: Michael told me Gloria is giving Lauren the hard sell to promote her. She wants to take over as the head of JCV.

Chloe: Oh, you got to give it to Gloria. She has chutzpah. Now it all makes sense.

---

Lauren: So can you pinpoint any area of JCV that could be improved upon?

Gloria: Yes, I can. Certainly. Not every division is perfect, and again, that is why strong leadership is so important. One of the first things I would focus on is our accessories. I would like to find a fashion-forward designer who could come up with statement necklaces, bold, bright pieces that really draw the eye. The way I see it, when you’re a young woman just starting out, you may not have the money to buy the entire JCV ensemble, but you can afford a piece of jewelry that will make your outfit pop. You agree with me?

Lauren: Yes. Yes, I do.

Gloria: Of course you do. [ Chuckles ] Because I know my stuff.

Lauren: It’s a good idea. And I can’t tell you how many candidates were tripped up by that question.

Gloria: [ Chuckles ] Lauren, I have so many more ideas where that came from. No one wants this more or will work harder for you.

Lauren: Alright. Alright, let’s try it on a temporary basis. Okay? Let’s try some of your ideas, see what happens.

Gloria: Oh, thank you. Thank you. [ Laughs ] Thank you for realizing I am the best person for the job. Oh, Lauren, this is so exciting. I am thrilled. Now, I am going to go back to the office and make sure my assistant duties are covered, and then I will dive right in as interim president of JCV. My, doesn’t that have a lovely ring to it.

Lily: Okay, so maybe one day you’ll stop trying.

Amanda: Hey. You okay?

Elena: Yeah, yeah, just taking a minute to regroup.

Amanda: Well, you’re still in your scrubs. I hope that coffee’s not just a pick-me-up before your next shift. No offense, but you look exhausted.

Elena: Actually, it’s the opposite. I just got off of my shift, and this is chamomile tea. I am exhausted, but I’m also wired, so I’m trying to decompress and rest since I have to be back at it in less than eight hours.

Amanda: Oh, wow. Sounds like a tough week.

Elena: Yeah. Actually, they’ve all been tough lately. [Chuckles] I’ve been picking up extra shifts, so it’s really hard to find a rhythm. I don’t know why my name keeps ending up at the top of the assignment list.

Amanda: Well, Nate did tell me how much the other surgeons love having you scrub in to assist. He said that you have the best bedside manner on the staff and pretty much irreplaceable to them.

Adam: Good morning, Sally.

Sally: Yeah? What’s good about it?

Adam: Wow, that’s some mood you’re in.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you. I know you’re my boss and I’m supposed to make an effort to be charming and all, but I am just so mad right now, I could scream.

Nick: If you expect me to agree that you’re some kind of authority on Victoria, that is not gonna happen, alright? I’m just talking to everyone who’s in her life, trying to get a read on some of the actions she’s made. Honestly, I would like to stay out of her personal business if it can be helped, but I need to know if there’s an issue here or not.

Billy: Well, it actually sounds like you’re trying to see if I’m gonna use my resources at ChancComm to go after Ashland Locke. You know, you want me to do the digging because if it blows up in my face, then I’m the one that takes the brunt of it.

Nick: This idea just occurred to you, digging into Ashland’s past to try and come up with some dirt to get him out of Victoria’s life? Sounds to me like it’s something you’ve been gearing up to do, and you’re gonna do it whether you get any encouragement from me or not.

Sally: Oh, I’m more than optimistic. I am determined to make myself completely indispensable to Newman Media. But for now, I will settle for buying my new boss a drink.

Adam: You know, I hate to admit this, but I haven’t had a chance to thoroughly review our HR policies. Something tells me that thing might be frowned upon.

Sally: Mm. Does it really matter, though? ‘Cause you’re in charge. You can always change the policy. Or you could just suspend it for the evening.

Adam: You know, something tells me that kind of thinking might have got you in trouble at Fenmore’s.

Sally: Hmm, right, ’cause you’re such a stickler for the rules. Nope, never mind. You’re right. Besides, you’re rich, and I have rent and car payments to worry about, so you can buy your own drink.

Adam: Somehow I don’t think you’re gonna have to worry about making rent. And I do agree that you do have a bright future at Newman Media. And to show you how confident I am about that, I’m gonna let you buy me that drink.

---

Sally: Ooh, it’s interesting. I detect traces of a robust smoke, alongside a tang of… coffee, vanilla, and maybe a glimmer of fruit. But there’s something that I cannot quite put my finger on.

Adam: That extra nuance is from being aged for 16 years in cask wood. For that intense sweetness.

Sally: Oh. Impressive.

Adam: You have a pretty impressive palate yourself.

Sally: Well, I have to admit, this single malt is normally a bit out of my price range, but since you were ordering it, I figured I should try it, too.

Adam: I think that Abby put it on the menu at my father’s request.

Sally: Well, I guess being a Newman has its perks

Ashland: I’m not Billy Abbott. And I have learned over time how problematic it is to compare the present to the past. Victoria doesn’t need to justify her actions or feelings to anyone. And I will say to you what I have said to her — I love her with everything that I have and I think she feels the same way.

Nick: I believe you. Victoria said the same thing.

Ashland: Well, then I politely suggest to you and everyone else that wants to worry about Victoria that you stop second-guessing her and passing judgment on her life and on her heart. The past is in the past. Victoria and I are living in the moment and looking towards the future.

---

Billy: Well, then the only thing I want to say to you is that I’m with you. I have tried my best to convince myself that Victoria marrying Ashland is the right thing to do. I’ve even tried to be very supportive, but I can’t do that anymore because the truth is, I think it’s a mistake. Her and Ashland went from “Hi, how are you” to “I do” like that.

Nick: Interesting observation coming from Mr. Spontaneity himself.

Sally: I would like to report a robbery.

Phyllis: Okay.

Sally: What is this? I’m telling you I was robbed in your hotel.

Phyllis: Are you sure it was a robbery?

Sally: Well, someone broke into my room and took everything I owned.

Phyllis: Mm, that’s not necessarily “theft.”

Sally: Okay, so then what else would it be? My possessions were stolen.

Phyllis: Okay. You know, like those suitcases right here, I mean, if somebody were to take off with those, that would be a robbery.

Sally: Wait, my suitcases.

Lauren: You know, that’s quite a jump — from my assistant to running a major fashion division.

Gloria: Oh, my, what a coincidence. I have a lot of experience, too. Fashion consultant at Jabot, worked with Chloe and Chelsea on their line a few years ago. Ah, and once upon a time, an “Extreme Catwalk” judge.

Gloria: Oh, but not such a jump for your former assistant, Sally Spectra.

Lauren: Okay, she had already been made an executive before I gave her that opportunity. Plus, she had a lot of recent fashion experience in LA.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] “Extreme Catwalk” judge. Thank you, fashion maven. We’re all very impressed, but there’s the other little matter of actually running a business.

Gloria: I’ve run several businesses, Michael — successfully, mind you.

Michael: Like what? Glo-worm?

Gloria: A coveted, loved restaurant.

Michael: It went up in flames.

Gloria: Not my fault.

Lauren: You know, I just do not think that this is a — a —

Gloria: Before you finish your sentence, please hear me out. I am talented, I am hard-working, I am creative, I am a natural. Oh, yes, and best of all, I won’t spend all of my time plotting behind your back. Come on, Lauren, please give me the job. You know I can do it. And I might say you could do worse. But you already have.

Nick: Yeah. Just another thing for Kyle and Summer that’s falling perfectly into place.

Phyllis: Yeah, because i uncovered what Sally and Tara were doing to our daughter.

Nick: Yeah, I believe the technical term for that is meddling, which is why I’m here.

Phyllis: Ugh. If it’s a lecture, I need to hydrate.

Nick: No, no, no, no. Hey. I’m completely on board with everything you did, so there’s no lecture.

Phyllis: What is it, then?

Nick: This is an acknowledgement of my respect for your stubbornness.

Phyllis: My leadership skills.

Nick: Your ability to just hang on to something and never let it go.

Phyllis: My determination.

Nick: Yes. And due to your meddling, you were able to bring me in so we could ride off and rescue our daughter together.

Phyllis: That was love.

Nick: It was. It was. So for the next few hours, it’s gonna be a tribute to all the things about you that make me crazy.

---

Phyllis: You know, I love this idea of a celebration of all things, you know, me. But a heads-up would’ve been nice. I have a ton of work. I mean…

Nick: Not on Phyllis Appreciation Day. I already set it up with your general manager. She’s gonna cover everything for you. You don’t have to worry about anything. Everything else has been set up.

Phyllis: You thought of everything.

Nick: All you have to decide is when you would like your tribute to begin.

Phyllis: Um, all right! I want it to begin now. Right now.

Nick: Right now.
