Tucker: Hey, Jack. You got a minute?

Jack: For you, no.

Tucker: Ah, wait. It’s important. Please.

Jack: You know, I’ve been coming to this club my whole life. I love this place. What I don’t like is the increasing likelihood I’m gonna run into you. Why are you still here?

Tucker: Well, I live here.

Jack: I meant in genoa city. Isn’t glissade your new life’s work in Paris?

Tucker: You know, there’s this really neat new invention. Um… what’s it called? The internet. And, uh, you can be in one place and do work in another. Unbelievable. You should check it out.

Jack: Maybe you could use it to get yourself a one-way ticket to France. There is nothing like face-to-face time with your employees, especially when you had to hire a whole new staff and board. Or are you staying away so they don’t get to know the real tucker McCall?

Tucker: Has it ever occurred to you I might move glissade here

****************************†****

Cole: Can I talk with you and Claire in private?

Claire: Well, if whatever you have to say is about Jordan, you can speak freely. I told Kyle the whole ugly truth, just so you know.

Kyle: Um, this sounds like a family matter, and I should– I should probably get back to Harrison anyway.

Claire: There it is. That’s the reaction I was waiting for. Better run.

Kyle: I’m impressed. Not many people could bounce back after what you’ve been through. And for the record, I’m not running. I’m just giving you all some privacy.

Claire: Thank you.

Victoria: This is novel. A stress-free day with no surprises in store. Feels like it’s been forever.

Claire: I think maybe it has been forever for me. Being free of Jordan, not being worried about her next plan or when she might pop in again and try to ruin our lives. My whole life I’ve been on edge because of her.

Victoria: You don’t have to worry about that anymore. We’re free to go out and do things without looking over our shoulder constantly. In fact, I think that’s exactly what we should do. We should do something incredibly normal. Like, go for a long walk or a drive or a mother-daughter shopping spree. Or we could go see a movie. I think that we deserve that, don’t you?

Claire: Maybe we start by just going to lunch? Without security guards

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

Victoria: Wow, look at us. Out and about.

Claire: You do this with Nikki, right? Mother-daughter lunches?

Victoria: Absolutely. All the time. Now it’s our turn.

Claire: It’s still weird, the difference between researching you and actually knowing you.

Victoria: Oh, well, I don’t think I want to know what they say about me in the press or on social media.

[ Claire laughing ]

Claire: The press doesn’t know how silly you can be or how sweet or that you’re not the best baker?

Victoria: Oh, well, I’m sure that Johnny and Katie are gonna tell you all about that. In the meantime, there’s just so much that I want to know.

Heather: Oh, right. Okay, just, uh, for the sake of argument, let’s say you met this guy.

Daniel: Uh-huh.

Heather: And you just– you can’t stand him.

Daniel: Okay.

Heather: But he asked Lucy to the prom, and she’s over the moon, thrilled to go. You’re not actually gonna tell Lucy she can’t go, are you?

Daniel: Yeah, maybe I am.

Heather: Okay, that’s pretty funny to me, because you’re the biggest pushover I’ve ever seen when it comes to Lucy.

Daniel: That’s– no, that’s not true. I have said no to her plenty of times. Like, once when she was three, and she asked me if i would teach her how to drive.

Heather: Hm. Lucy’s always made good choices when it comes to people she’s hung out with, so I don’t see why this boy that she has a crush on will be any different.

Daniel: Sure. Let’s just hope that he’s not like me when I was his age.

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

Devon: We haven’t gotten that far yet, no, but when we do, we will welcome your input.

Billy: Oh, I’m sure you will. You won’t even tell me the reason behind it. I mean, come on, it’s gotta be pretty serious. You’re gonna fire the person you’re in a relationship with, lily. So, you’re not in a relationship with him anymore. Is that what’s behind this?

Devon: Can you drop this, Billy?

Billy: Oh, I get it now.

Devon: Can you please drop this?

Billy: So something happened between heather and Daniel, and now you want to fire them both.

Christine: Danny Romalotti singing me a beautiful voicemail. I feel like the luckiest woman on the planet.

Danny: I know exactly who the luckiest person is at this table, and it is definitely not you.

******†**************************************

Heather: Lily, welcome home.

Lily: You already said that, heather. Remember? I went to Daniel’s apartment and walked in on your warm, little, fuzzy family moment?

Heather: Yes, yeah, yeah, of– of– of course.

Lily: Right.

Heather: Um, I just wanted to say that I’m really glad that Mattie is doing better, and– and it must have been so nice.

Lily: Okay, heather, I’m– I’m– I’m not– I’m not doing this with you. Okay? I don’t wanna hear your “what do you mean?” Act. All right? I left town, you got what you wanted, so good for you. Congratulations. I have nothing to say to you.

Heather: Lily, I swear to you, there was– there was absolutely nothing, and by nothing, I mean zero premeditated about what happened between Daniel and I, and I– I never, ever intended to hurt you.

Lily: I know you never intended to hurt me, heather. Do you wanna know why? Because you didn’t think about me at all. I was not a consideration to you.

Heather: But that’s not true.

Lily: And do you really expect me to believe it wasn’t premeditated? I know that your feelings for daniel came back before I even left. You saw that he was the man that you wanted him to be. You saw that, and you wanted him back.

Claire: Yeah, it’s, um, still strange to me. Meeting all these relatives who I’ve read so much about all these years, but getting to know them as people, not just news stories. Newmans for what they had, but at the same time, I wanted it all. things, but I like to imagine the family and the love. She only wanted me to see the ugly stuff. The fights and the crimes, the divorces. Anything messy or sordid. That’s what I was supposed to pay attention to, but… there’s so much more to you. To all of you

*************************************††**

Claire: How long was I asleep for?

Victor: Too long. So, why don’t you get up? I guess the whole family is waiting for you.

Claire: The whole family?

Victor: Yeah.

Claire: Why? Why would they be waiting for me?

Victor: Well, do you even have to ask? I mean, you’ve done this hundreds of times, sweetheart.

Claire: Hundreds?

Victor: Yeah. Remember? We used to all have breakfast together and we put you in a little baby seat. There was a pancake on your plate. One little pancake.

Claire: Baby seat?

Victor: I have to go to the office. Stop by before I join you at breakfast, so I’ll see you later. All right, eve?

Claire: Eve?

Victor: See you soon.

Adam: Connor, we talked about this, right? The “crazy” word? That is just the ocd talking. Because you, connor Newman, you are the greatest kid ever.

Connor: Who’s crazy.

Adam: Buddy–

Connor: Call it what you want. It’s still what it is.

Adam: We’re gonna fix this, okay? And everything is gonna be okay. Can we get back to the room change for a second? Was somebody being a jerk to you? Was someone bullying you, Connor?

Connor: No, that’s not it.

Connor: My room was 23. Two

Adam: Excuse me?

Connor: You like to gamble.

Jordan: I wish you could’ve shared that joy with your poor sponsor, seth. He’s dead because of you.

Nikki: He’s dead because of you! Because you are a serial killer.

Victoria: It’s over. You’ve lost. You can never hurt us again.

Jordan: What a pr

Nikki: I hope that pretty picture torments you for the r because the three of us are bound in love, in strength, something that you could never have any comprehension of. But at least you’ll have plenty of time to think about it, because you will be in prison forever.

Jordan: Oh. Oh, so victor’s not gonna keep me here and feed me spoiled food and the occasional rat?

Nikki: Lady, if I had my way, you’d never leave this hellhole, which quite literally was of your own making. So, I guess the next best thing is to know that you will slowly, oh, so slowly, rot away in your cell

Kyle: Thanks for coming. It was nice to meet you. We’ll be in touch. Well, I guess we can cross nanny contender number five off our list.

Summer: Honestly, I feel really bad for her. She was nice. She was well-qualified. Lovely with harrison.

Kyle: Even when he just sat there pouting and scowling at her.

Summer: When he bothered looking at her at all. I wish we knew when Linda was gonna come back. She and Harrison are such great buddies.

Kyle: Yeah, from what she’d said about her mother’s surgery, it doesn’t sound like we can expect her back anytime soon.

Summer: So, what do we do? Just keep having the agency send us potential new nannies for harrison to be grumpy about? I mean, we both know what the actual problem is, since he keeps on saying the same thing after every interview.

Kyle: Why can’t mommy just come home?

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

Adam: Sally spectra and Audra Charles alone together at the same table. Wow, this is a little, uh…

Sally: Surprising?

Adam: I was gonna say scary, but okay, surprising’s fine. I, uh, didn’t even know the two of you knew each other.

Sally: We’ve met, but we’ve never really had a conversation.

Audra: Yeah, until now. And it turns out it was long overdue.

Adam: Yeah? Why is that?

Sally: Well, you wouldn’t believe how much Audra and i have in common

Lucy: You know, prom is still months away, but I was just asked to be on the decorating committee, which is really cool because technically I’m still the new girl. But I can’t be on the decorating committee and show up to prom without a date. And what if no one asks me? Speaking of asking, you know waylon marrs? He’s the kid with the really great hair and he’s really smart. I mean, I wonder who he’s going to take, because I would be a pretty good date.

Daniel: Whoa!

Lucy: What?

Daniel: Hold on there. Waylon Marrs? Who’s that?

Heather: You know Waylon, babe, the one with the, uh, really good hair.

Daniel: Mm. And are you dating this one with really good hair?

Lucy: Dad, if we were dating, then I would already have a date to prom, which I don’t.

Heather: She did mention that.

Daniel: Hmm. Well, you know… I am going to expect to meet this child before you go anywhere with him.

******************************”””*””””””””””””””””””

Devon: Actually, you know what? If I’m being honest, it was kind of peaceful here with you gone.

Billy: Yeah? Is that right?

Devon: Yeah. No one was trying to change the name of the company. Or exert their power inappropriately. It was great.

Billy: Oh, that’s funny. What about aunt Mamie?

Devon: What about aunt Mamie?

Billy: Amanda informed Jill of Mamie’s latest proposition. How she would like to split the company in two and keep it merged together in name only. I mean, if that’s not an attempt at exerting inappropriate power, devon, I don’t know what is.

Devon: I think that was just a suggestion though, right?

Billy: Right. A suggestion. Like I suggested we add “Abbott” to the company name. Except with you, devon, there’s always this accusation that I’m trying to orchestrate some sort of power grab. Which I’m not. But I think it’s very clear that Mamie would love nothing more than to split this company into two.

Billy: Hi, it’s me again. Sorry to bug.

Phyllis: Then– then don’t.

[ Billy sighs ]

Billy: Yeah, I have to. For whatever reason, I have this unexplainable responsibility to want to cheer you up.

Phyllis: Well, you’re doing a bang-up job.

Billy: Clearly, there’s something going on, so… what is it? I want to help.

Phyllis: Really? Why the sudden desire to want to help me? I mean, is this your one act of good karma for the week or…

Billy: Hm. Hm. That’s actually interesting. Yeah. Yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe it is. I had to leave Chelsea alone to deal with some challenges that Connor is going through up at school, and I didn’t want to come back, but she insisted that I come back. She said she wanted to spend some quality time with her son, and I feel guilty about that. So, yeah, you are the beneficiary of me wanting to feel useful today.

Phyllis: Lucky me.

Billy: Hm. You know, I’m a pretty good talker, but I’m actually a fantastic listener.

Phyllis: Billy…

Billy: Ah. There you are.

Phyllis: I know you’re a good listener. I know that. You’re not really hearing what I’m saying.

Billy: Yeah. That’s probably true, but hey, are you okay?

Phyllis: I appreciate what you’re doing. I’m sure, um, it’s coming from a good place. And– and also, I– I’m sorry that Connor is going through something.

Billy: Thank you.

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

Chance: First, though, is everything okay with Chelsea and Connor? You were kind of vague.

Billy: Yeah, I’m not gonna– not gonna be cagey about it. I’m just trying to respect their privacy.

Chance: Yeah, and I don’t want to pry, I just want to make sure they’re okay.

Billy: I appreciate that. Everything’s gonna be okay. It’s just gonna be a process.

Chance: Understood.

Billy: So, fill me in. How did Nate and Devon react to my absence? Everyone behave?

Chance: Well, I don’t mean to be blunt, but nobody seemed to miss you.

[ Billy laughs ]

Billy: So much about not being blunt.

Nick: Nah, drink’s not gonna happen for you. I feel like you’ve had plenty already.

Phyllis: Sometimes you just need to annihilate the darkness.

Nick: Really?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Okay, Phyllis.

Phyllis: I had an epiphany. Do you want to hear it?

Nick: Sure.

Phyllis: Don’t try to change. Ever. It’s a waste of time.

Nick: You know that’s not true, Phyllis. I’ve admired the way you’ve tried to change.

Phyllis: It’s true. Oh, what good has it done? I mean, my kids… still walk around me like they’re walking on eggshells.

[ Sighs ] My friends… I don’t even have any friends, that’s for sure. And, uh, then… I thought I really had a chance at happiness. That just blew up in my face. It was crushed under… the history… that I have that I will never, ever escape from. So, why try?

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

Nikki: Well, that is true, uh, to each other and to other people. We’ve both been through a lot, but, um, we always managed to find our way back to each other. And I guess that’s a testament to the devotion we have for one another and for our children, our grandchildren. Family is very important to us. You see, victor was raised in an orphanage.

Claire: I had read that, but Jordan said that that was just a phony publicity story manufactured by newman enterprises to counteract victor’s ruthless reputation.

Victor: Well, for his sake, I wish that were true, but he did grow up in an orphanage, and family was something that he always yearned for. And now that he has one, he makes damn sure that nothing will happen to any of us, including you.

Claire: Me? After everything I did?

Nikki: As far as he’s concerned, anyone with a drop of Newman blood is family, and he will love and protect them forever
