Billy: By the way, did you, uh, get a chance to check out the revised budget? I had to add a few things because of an unexpected personnel change.

Devon: Mm-mm. I can take a look when we get back to the office though.

Billy: Right.

Tucker: Well, look at this. The new Chancellor-Winters power couple. So, I guess I was such a threat, you felt you had to circle the wagons and join forces, huh? I’m flattered.

Billy: You know, we consider any vicious, amoral corporate raider a threat. So, I’m not surprised you’re flattered by that. It basically defines you.

Tucker: It’s a misguided concern at this point. I’m putting all my attention into Glissade.

Billy: Glissade? Really? I gotta be honest, I– I assume that the board would’ve made that company just simply go away once they found out about your cover-up scandal. I mean, you’re radioactive. They got to know getting close to you means that they burn alongside you.

Tucker: Glissade’s entire board of directors has been replaced.

Billy: Oh, there you go. Imagine replacing your entire board before the company even gets off the ground. You probably think that’s a successful launch, don’t you?

Tucker: Indeed, I do.

“***”””””” *******”*************

Tucker: I have no intention of damaging Chancellor-Winters. Devon’s my son and Dominic’s my grandson, so I don’t want to destroy their legacy.

Billy: Look anything, frankly, everything you say, we take with a grain of salt. And far be it for me to tell you what to do with your company, but if you do wanna turn Glissade into a powerhouse, why don’t you do it from Paris

Kyle: Tucker. So, you still planning on coming for me?

Tucker: Nah, nah, don’t worry about that. I was just angry because of the right hook. Still smarts.

Kyle: Well, if you’re trying to get me to apologize, it’s not gonna happen. I don’t regret a thing.

Tucker: Okay. How about next time you want a brawl, we put on the gloves and step in the ring.

Kyle: Well, I’m not looking for any more fistfights, but if you twist my arm enough, maybe I’ll make an exception for you.

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

Kyle: No surprise you’re looking for tips on how to build family loyalty. My father tells me your own son isn’t even speaking to you these days. So clearly, you don’t know the first thing about being a good parent or a part of a family.

Tucker: Continue, oh, wise one.

Kyle: It looks like to me, the only relationship you’ve been able to maintain long-term is the twisted one you have with Audra.

Tucker: So, you’re an expert on family and mentorship?

Kyle: Mentorship? That’s what you call it.

Tucker: She wouldn’t have a career if it weren’t for me.

Kyle: Oh, no and she’d be the first to acknowledge that. That’s why she’s stuck around you for so long. She attributes much of her success to your mentorship. But you know, Tucker, let’s be real. At the end of the day, we both know your relationship is, um, is transactional.

Tucker: Yeah, you keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better about what you two had.

Daniel: Hey, sorry about the music Lucy was blasting earlier. Apparently, it’s something called pop rock, and it can only be enjoyed at very high decibels.

Danny: Well, thank you for the explanation, but I already asked her to send me her playlist. Yeah, I was actually a little shocked that I wasn’t on it.

Daniel: Oh, you know, she’s a fan. I’m sure she’s a fan.

Danny: Oh, yes, yes, of course, no doubt. I mean, hey, look, um, you know, I’m only family, right? for humoring her and asking for her list.

Daniel: I wasn’t humoring her, believe it or not. Yeah. I– I really got into some of it. And I’m not above picking up some new ideas now and then. Hey, you never know where motivation is going to come from. You got to stay on the cutting edge. Excuse me. Sorry

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

Lucy: Dad.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lucy: I’m hungry.

Danny: Hey, why don’t you let your grandfather whip you up something, huh?

Daniel: Yeah, or– or I could just call for some takeout, go pick up some burgers. How does that sound?

Lucy: No, no, none of the above. I’m having– having a really specific craving. Grilled cheese.

Danny: You got it. Grilled cheese sandwich coming right up.

Lucy: Oh, no, y– you don’t have to do that.

Danny: No. It’s no problem at all.

Lucy: I kind of mean “No, thank you.” Sometimes, I just– I want–

Danny: Okay.

Lucy: I want stuff the way that mom makes it.

Daniel: Are you texting your mom?

Lucy: She’s the only one who makes it right.

Daniel: Yeah, sure, right, but Luce, I mean, come on, you don’t have to go all the way over to your mother’s for a sandwich.

Lucy: Oh, I– I’m not. She is already on her way over here. Oh, I should probably go check and make sure that we have everything she needs.

Daniel: What just happened?

Danny: Yeah, that, uh, escalated fast.

Daniel: Yeah, that did. One text and Heather’s on her way over here? I guess it makes Lucy happy

Chelsea: Hey, uh, is everything okay with you and Devon?

Billy: Yeah, everything’s fine. Why?

Chelsea: Are you sure? It seemed a little tense in there.

Billy: Just a difference in business styles, you know? That’s all. We stay out of each other’s way for the most part.

Chelsea: Well, you are trying to run a company together. I mean, it is important that you talk every once in a while.

Billy: We talk. Look, I don’t think Devon expected me to come back at Jill’s request, right? So, I think he’s being a little aloof right now.

Chelsea: Aloof how?

Billy: When you walked in, I was asking him about a proposal that I sent his way that he’s been taking his time on. That’s about it. That’s the microscopic tension that you picked up on.

Chelsea: Is he stonewalling?

Billy: I think Devon’s used to having autonomy. He’s been running the company with Lily and now, I’m here and Nate’s back. Not to mention Jill, Mamie, and Chance.

Chelsea: That’s the opposite of autonomy.

Billy: It is. But Devon’s a pro. He’ll adjust.

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

Sally: Congratulations, Sharon. I’m really happy for you and your new chapter.

Sharon: Thank you. So am I. And these two scored a big win at Newman with Victor.

Adam: Things are going well, so I feel pretty lucky.

Nick: Don’t be modest, Adam. It’s not about luck. You tend to go pretty hard after the things you want.

Adam: Well, anything worth having is worth the effort. But yes, things are going well, so we all have something to drink to.

Nick: Just as long as you remember this night is about Sharon.

Sharon: And I couldn’t have done it without the two of you. Your input, even at the beginning, just helped me figure out what I wanted to create.

Nick: Well, it is great to see you realize that vision.

Adam: Absolutely. And Sally’s design business seems to be taking off quite well.

Sally: Thanks to Nick’s investment.

Adam: Have you considered hiring her to design your offices, Sharon?

Sally: Adam, you can’t just put Sharon on the spot like that. Can you go get me a champagne, please?

Tucker: Hey, Billy.

Billy: Well, well, well. Look what the cat tried to keep out, but you snuck in anyway, huh?

Tucker: Slow day at the office?

Billy: No, not at all. It’s nice and early. I guess not having a real job, your body clock must be all out of whack.

Tucker: I have a real job. You just don’t know what it is. Or where I’ll turn up next.

Billy: I’m sure if I look under enough rocks, I’ll find you soon enough

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

Billy: What’s the point of revenge if I don’t know if it happened or not? I don’t see it. If I don’t feel it, it’s not worth a damn thing without results.

Tucker: Well, there are many forms of revenge, billy. Some more insidious than others.

Billy: I don’t buy it. This is just another one of your defensive sleights of hand.

Tucker: Could be.

Billy: Yeah. I’ll give you this, tucker. You’re a smooth operator.

Tucker: Thank you. And, uh, just to keep you in the game as far as the sleight of hand thing, don’t give it a second thought. I’ve already lit the fuse.

Billy: I guess we’ll find out soon enough if you’re bluffing or if this is just another one of your unhinged plots.

Tucker: Well, it doesn’t matter, either way. You could still try to destroy my reputation by releasing that damaging information. But it might be too late.

Billy: Have a good day.

Tucker: Yeah, you too. I’ll see you

Jordan: Put the knife down? You’re giving me orders, Victor Newman. After what you did to my sister, to my family?

Victor: After what we did to your sister? Have you forgotten that your sister tried to kill my wife?

Jordan: Oh. But look at the two of you, living happily ever after. At the expense of my sister’s sanity. You destroyed her and then you allowed your daughter, Victoria, and eve’s son, Cole, to abandon their baby.

Victor: They did no such thing.

Jordan: Oh, but you know, maybe Claire was better off because you Newmans never would have loved her. Because she was cole’s daughter. She was eve’s granddaughter, but I loved her. I loved her. I gave her guidance. I gave her a purpose. And without me, she would’ve become nothing but a broken young woman.

Victor: You turned that girl into a monster.

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

Claire: You’ll help me? You promise?

Victoria: I’ll do whatever I can, Claire. Please. Please, you have to help us. Please.

Claire: Here. There are two, only for two people. Drink the antidote, victoria. It’ll– it’ll counteract the poison. Please, there’s not much time before it’s too late.

Victoria: I’m gonna give them to my parents.

Claire: No, Nikki doesn’t need it. Nikki doesn’t need it. She wasn’t poisoned. She was only given an iv of alcohol

Victoria: Alcohol?

Claire: Victoria, please. Just drink– drink the antidote. I’ll go– I’ll go find the others. I’m pretty sure I know where aunt jordan hid them.

Jordan: You know, you know, those denials were pretty convincing, pretty convincing, but I think that deep down, you know the truth, don’t you? I think deep down underneath all that beautiful hair that you have, you know that this beauty over here, you know the truth about her. And you’re afraid to think that perhaps you’re standing right in front of your daughter.

Victoria: The only thing I want to know is where my mother is at.

Jordan: Yes, because the mother-daughter bond is so strong, isn’t it?

Victoria: You two are deranged.

Victor: Listen, um, we can work this out. What do you want?

Jordan: I want my sister, but she’s dead and there’s nothing that you can do to bring her back. So, just stop all this negotiating, all right?

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

Jordan: Well, all right, victor Newman. If you want to stay alive, you have to listen to me. Now, I know that you’re the alpha male who likes running the show, but you know what? This isn’t your show. This is our show. And you’re all merely the audience, understand?

Victor: Yes, I understand.

Claire: Phones. I never thought I’d see this day. Both of my parents are here.

Victoria: Stop saying that.

Claire: Why mother? Does it make you feel guilty for ignoring me all these years?

Victoria: I’m not related to you.

Claire: How do you think it felt? Knowing that both of you were just going on about your lives pretending I never existed? Just gave me away the day I was born and never looked back.

Victoria: Oh, my god. You’re claiming to be–

Claire: Sure. Sure. Yeah. You’re putting on a show for the others, pretending that you’re just putting it all together, but I can tell by the look in your eye that you’ve known exactly who I am. Mother.

Ashley: Yes, I do. Absolutely. We both know you do. You have seen him without his mask.

Audra: Has anyone really ever seen tucker completely open and honest? And wouldn’t that be your territory?

Ashley: That should be. Maybe you know him better than anyone.

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

Jordan: Then what the hell are you doing here?

Claire: I’m here because I came to tell you face to face. I’ve seen who you really are. You are… the monster who haunts my nightmares.

Jordan: No. I love you.

Claire: No. That wasn’t love. I don’t know what love is, but I know that it’s not lying to someone their entire life, making them believe terrible things. I could have been happy and good. I could have had a family.

Jordan: I know I’ve made mistakes. But maybe– maybe we can help each other.

Claire: This is the last time we’re ever going to see each other.

Jordan: No, don’t say that. You want this place to kill me?

Claire: No. I want you to live a long painful life. Maybe there’s someone in here behind these bars that can make you feel as small and worthless as you made me feel. And I hope– I hope they crush your hopes every day and that at night you dream of escaping, but there’s nowhere for you to go. This is your life now and forever.

Jordan: Honey.

Claire: Guard!

Jordan: No. No, no, no. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Come on. Talk time, like we used to, okay?

Claire: We’re finished here.

Jordan: You and me, we’re finished when I say we’re finished and not before. I have plans. Just wait. And now I have all the time in the world. And you… you…you, little girl, you chose the wrong side. The wrong side!

Adam: Well, if I may, I’d like to propose a toast to my spectacular date and our amazing day for the both of us. Italy’s finest sparkling water. You said alcohol was the tipping point to bad behavior, so I’m just honoring your wishes.

Sally: Wow, you really do think of everything.

Adam: May I?

Sally: Please.

Adam: And, if I may be so bold… to us.

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

Adam: Just like old times.

Sally: The pasta?

Adam: You eating off my plate.

Sally: Is there a problem?

Adam: I mean, we did have the same dish.

Sally: Yeah, but somehow, yours just tastes better. And I have worked up an appetite from being a huge success today.

Adam: Sally spectra taking the design world by storm.

Sally: Mm-hmm. And you, you and nick wowing victor Newman? It’s very impressive.

Adam: I’m pretty impressed myself.

Sally: Well, you do have exceptional business skills.

Adam: Yeah, I don’t have that great of brother skills though.

Sally: But I thought the pitch went well today?

Adam: That was the easy part. Now, I have to earn Nick’s trust.

Adam: I am right on time.

Nick: A few minutes earlier so we could have had some prep time would have been nice.

Adam: Are you back to doubting me? Because I thought that love fest with sharon earlier was for real. We’ve got this.

Nick: You being cocky doesn’t guarantee success.

Adam: Okay, you never got my sense of humor.

Nick: Adam, we need to go in there united. All right? Not try to one-up each other. It’s not a competition.

Adam: Okay, I get it. You are play-by-play, I am color commentary. And together, we will wow the hell out of him and that is being confident. That is not being cocky. Now, let’s show the old man what we can do.

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

Audra: What the hell, Kyle?

Tucker: Oh, nice punch, Kyle.

Kyle: Yeah, I can do it again.

Tucker: Not bad for a daddy’s boy.

Audra: Okay, enough. Jeez.

Chance: Hey. Wow. Yeah, that is not a good look, huh? Bellying up to the bar first thing in the morning.

Summer: What’s your poison?

Chance: Uh, orange, guava, and passionfruit. Bartender recommended it.

Summer: Very tropical.

Chance: Yeah, I should have stuck with coffee

Adam: So, any actual bets on what this meeting is about?

Nick: I’m assuming it’s about Vic’s leave of absence. And with nate gone as well, we’re definitely shorthanded right now.

Adam: So, more musical chairs in the c-suite.

Nick: Yeah, I don’t know. Dad could be bringing someone else in.

Adam: No, I doubt that. I mean, you heard his speech about family pulling together. His plan is for you and me to work side by side.

Nick: Yeah, I’d say that’s a fantasy.

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

Adam: You may have been right that I would have blown things up in the past. But my 2024 goals specifically indicate no more self-destruction.

Nick: Right. The new and improved, ultra-responsible, highly focused Adam Newman.

Nick: Heard a lot about that guy. I’ve never met him once.

Adam: It’s Adam Newman. Nice to meet you.
