Tucker: I hope this invitation means that you and i are — we’re on good terms. Like, we’re — there’s no grudges between us, no ill will between us.

Nikki: Well, that all depends on what happens going forward, since you seem to be staying in town for a while.

Tucker: I might, I might. I’m having a ball getting reacquainted with all the, um — what’d you call them? — The respectable families of Genoa City? And then, of course, to be invited here to the ranch, to sit with the grand dame of the community, well, that’s — that means a lot.

Nikki: That title does not belong to me. There is only one grand dame of Genoa City. Your mother.

Tucker: Ah, yes. The duchess. Yeah. Very respectable. Sorry. Did I offend you?

Nikki: No, no, not at all. But I’m afraid you

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

Talia: So, now that you don’t have Nikki Newman to impress, maybe you can give me some real answers.

Tucker: Fire away. Just don’t ask about the rumor.

Talia: What rumor?

Tucker: Oh, there’s this nasty rumor going around that the real reason I came to town is to try to convince Victor Newman to build a rocket with me so we can launch ourselves into space. You know, it’s what billionaires are doing these days. But I probably should not have said anything, should I? Because you’re going to do an article with the headline “McCall and Newman shoot themselves into space.”

Talia: You should be so lucky. You have history with the Newman family, going head to head with Victor in business and personally

Tucker: I don’t think so because Katherine — when she died, she left the company to victor. So, there’s history there. Victoria would know that and try to honor it. Hey, Victoria. What a welcome coincidence. Ah, you look as lovely as ever.

Victoria: And you still have the same silver tongue.

Tucker: Can you join me? I’d love to catch up with you.

Victoria: I suppose that i can while I’m waiting for my takeout. It’s as good a way as any to pass the time.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Allow me.

Victoria: I gather from your dramatic entrance at the Abbott’s that Ashley is the unfortunate recipient of your attention right now

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

Victoria: On second thought, maybe it’s better that Ashley wasn’t there. Would’ve been really humiliating for you if she told you to go to hell in front of half of Genoa City’s movers and shakers.

Tucker: I don’t care what anyone thinks of me.

Victoria: Oh, please. You are the most image-conscience person that i know. You thrive on attention.

Tucker: And you don’t want to give me that satisfaction, do you?

V ictoria:   I  have nothing more to say about you.

Tucker: Okay, let’s talk about you, then. That whole Ashland Locke fiasco — what happened there?

Victoria: Well, I prefer not to think about that time.

Tucker: Ah. Well, I see. And yet you emerged from it all with Newman even stronger.

Victoria: It’s kind of you to notice.

Tucker: Oh, I’ve noticed everything you’ve done. I’m impressed with everything you’ve done with the company since you took over.

Victoria: I take it you were getting all of the business news while you were at the ashram?

Tucker: [Chuckles] I plead the fifth.

Victoria: What about the mystical experience? Did you glean any insight into yourself?

Tucker: You mean into my cold, black heart?

Adam: It’s — it’s a little complicated, and it’s probably gonna take some time for us to get used to the new family dynamic.

Connor: Mom wants us to be one big family, but we already are family. We don’t need Johnny.

Adam: You’re right. We are a family, Connor. And your mother knows that, too.

Connor: No, she doesn’t. Johnny has his own family. If she misses him so much, she never should have given him up in the first place

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

Connor: Mom is different now. She’d probably be happier if she had kept Johnny.

Adam: Mnh, no, that is not true, Connor

Connor: It’s like I’m not enough anymore. If she can’t have Johnny around, she doesn’t want anybody.

Adam: Connor, that is no t true.

Adam: [Sighs] Look, what are you still doing here, Nick? I hope you didn’t get us locked on this roof because there’s not enough food or champagne if we get stranded here.

Nick: Don’t tempt me. I just might lock you up here all alone, unless you’re straight with me.

Adam: Look, may I suggest that we have this intense conversation another time? Because I am really not in the mood.

Nick: Well, you better get in the mood, Adam. I’m not leaving here unless i get some answers. What is the matter with you? Why would you lure Sally up here under false pretenses?

Adam: Well, based on your question, I gather that while i was up here waiting for the sun to come up, Sally ran to you to spill her version of the story.

Nick: Yeah. I talked to her.

Adam: Oh, good. Should I even bother getting up? If I do, are you just gonna knock me back down?

Nick: I did not come up here to fight with you. But I want to make sure we’re clear about something. We are not going to put Sally in the middle of yet another brother-against-brother feud.

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

Nick: Hey. Did you hear me?

Adam: Of course I did. I mean, when Nick Newman makes one of his heroic declarations, everyone listens. Except this one fell a little flat because Sally isn’t in the middle of anything, Nick, since I can’t compete with my great and noble big brother.

Nick: Come on, man.

Adam: No. I mean, really. Please proceed on your chivalrous crusade and keep playing the role of the protector to the hilt.

Nick: I heard about this little stunt last night while Sally was still here. Did you see me rush over here to come to her rescue?

Adam: Why is that? Was your, uh, cape at the dry cleaner?

Nick: I just figured you two needed some time to work out some things, so I gave you some space. But I need to know going forward, do I need to protect her from you?

Adam: [Scoffs] Please relax. I’m not a glutton for punishment. And I can take a hint. Alright? Sally has made her choice, and I’m not gonna beg. I know I can’t force her to forgive me.

Nick: Well, I’m glad you finally realized that.

Adam: So, you and Sally are free to do whatever the hell you want together. And I guess I’m destined to lose everything I want and I care about to one sibling or the other. It’s called “the curse of the black sheep.”

Jack: Well, I’m less than thrilled, but it’s a necessary evil.

Tucker: Yeah. And I appreciate your candor, as always. I know you’re not thrilled about my coming back to town and trying to reconnect with Ashley.

Jack: No, but I am pleased with your lack of progress in that regard.

Tucker: So you must have enjoyed her storming out just now.

Jack: Well, I would have preferred she throw a drink in your face, but storming out we’ll have to settle for.

Tucker: Yeah, I know you’re protective of her and i appreciate that. I admire it, actually. It’s exactly how I would feel in your situation. But my wanting to make amends with her is genuine ’cause, Jack, my relationship with her is the best thing that ever happened to me.

************””””** *******”””

Sharon: Because there is a pattern here, Nick. You and Adam tend to pursue the same women — Chelsea, me, and now Sally.

Nick: Well, obviously, we have excellent taste.

Jack: I wish you didn’t even have to give him the time of day, but I understand your intent. So, where is he?

Ashley: Well, that’s the kicker. I think the bastard stood me up.

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

Chloe: Well, someone invited her, and she’s at the Grand Phoenix rooftop right now meeting that person.

Chloe: Ohh, you know, I-I don’t know what is happening, but I don’t have a very good feeling about this.

Nick: Let’s — let’s calm down. I’m sure it’s a misunderstanding.

Chloe: Well, I’m not sure how that could be. Because Sally gets this fancy invitation delivered by a courier, and who would go to those lengths just to mislead her?

Both: Adam.

Tucker: Hey. Good time? Bad time? Sure as hell been a long time.

Adam: So it has. Come on in.

Tucker: Thank you.

Adam: I, uh, heard about your dramatic return, the little stunt with the helicopter.

Tucker: Oh, yeah, the stunt. Well, I was late for the ceremony, you know, and wouldn’t want to be thought of as rude. You know how the righteous people in this town like to cluck their tongues.

Adam: Yeah, I think you just like being unpredictable.

Tucker: Ah, look who’s talking. Choosing to work here instead of at Newman. Victor must have had an apoplectic fit.

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

Ashley: Huh. Has Tucker changed? As in, is he capable of having an epiphany about anything ever?

[Both laugh]

Traci: I will take that as a “no.”

Ashley: Well, he’s a narcissist, right? I mean, look at the way he disrupted Kyle and Summer’s vow renewal ceremony. It was so incredibly obnoxious. And I don’t believe he had an awakening after he crashed his fancy car and then he went to an ashram. Just two exotic things he can check off his bucket list.

Traci: I imagine he’s lying to himself to some extent, don’t you think?

Mariah: Excuse me. We are looking for the owner of the hottest new club in town. Do you know where he might be?

Tessa: Yeah, he had this super-swanky opening, but I heard that there were invited guests that didn’t come.

Mariah: Yeah, and I’m sure that those two losers have a very viable reason.

Noah: Okay, let’s hear the sob story.

Mariah: We are so, so sorry we missed the opening night, but we had to get some paperwork in for the adoption attorney.

Tessa: We got you a gift. Will you ever forgive us?

Noah: Depends on what you got me.

Mariah: That is a “reserved” sign, which I would like you to install on whatever the best seats are in the house. They’re for us, of course.

Tessa: Mm-hmm.

Mariah: We — we’re your gift.

Noah: Got it. Thank you.

Chelsea: Wait a second. Since when is sitting on a bench and enjoying some sunshine an ambush?

Billy: Well, what would you call it?

Chelsea: A lovely afternoon till you showed up.

Billy: Right, so you weren’t sitting here, waiting for my son to show up so you could talk to him about being his mother? Because that’s what he said happened.

Chelsea: I bumped into him by chance. I did not accost him.

Billy: That’s not how he took it.

Chelsea: I just wanted to make sure he was alright.

Billy: By pushing him to bond with Connor as his brother, Chelsea?

Chelsea: No, no, that was not the reason.

Victor: Tucker McCall. I want you to find out why he suddenly returned to Genoa City.

Michael: [Chuckles] From what I hear, he made quite the grand re-entrance. He certainly wasn’t sneaking around or being private about his plans. What is it you want me to dig into?

Victor: He says he’s here to mend fences with Ashley, to reconnect with his son Devon, and meet his grandson. I don’t trust any of this. But I’m gonna make sure that he will not do any harm to Ashley or that boy.

Michael: That’s very chivalrous of you. I imagine Ashley could hold her own and since Tucker would have to go through Abby to get to Dominic, I’m guessing the little guy is pretty well protected, too. But what ulterior motives do you suspect the man of having?

***********”**********”””””***”*

Tucker: Right. So, I went back to the company and — and thrill seeking, which led to the accident. But it all forced me to — to realize what I’ve been missing, the love and the life that I had right in front of me and I just let slip away. And when you ended the marriage, you said to me, “the only way i would ever trust that you’re not gonna hurt me again is if you went through some kind of miraculous change, if you became some completely different man.” Do you remember that?

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: And you didn’t believe it, right?

Ashley: I remember it very well. I remember it.

Tucker: Well, I’m here to tell you it’s possible ’cause I stand before you a completely different man.

Tucker: Hello, Nikki. Anything interesting going on in the world?

Nikki: My, my, Tucker McCall. You just keep popping up everywhere, don’t you?

Tucker: Yeah, sorry we didn’t get a chance to have a chat at your granddaughter’s event.

Nikki: I don’t think you’re the least bit sorry. You were too busy making a spectacle of yourself.

Tucker: Mm. I wouldn’t put it quite that way.

Nikki: No? How would you describe it?

Tucker: A spirited homecoming.

[Both scoff] Memorable one at that, no?

Nikki: Oh, yes. Even when you’re infuriating, you are charming. Some things never change.

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

Diane: I agree that Tucker’s gift was all wrong, but it’s obvious why he chose it.

Phyllis: Oh. Really? Please tell me what was obvious. I’d love to get your take on this.

Diane: Well, he made a point of reminding everyone that John Abbott had a Bentley. You know, clearly, he was trying to score points, calling back the beloved family patriarch, trying to impress everybody with his generosity and thoughtfulness, as if that could erase the bad taste he left in everybody’s mouth.

Billy: You don’t like your blueberry muffin? I’ll get you a different kind.

Johnny: No dad, this one’s fine.

Billy: What about a bagel? I can see they have a doughnut over there.

Johnny: Dad. I said this one’s fine. Guess you and mom have been reading the same how-to handbook.

Billy: How to what?

Johnny: “How to help your child accept his bio mom.” Mom already talked me into a huge dinner last night and made me eat a big meal before coming here, even though she knew I was meeting you for breakfast.

Billy: And why do you think she did that?

Johnny: Obviously, stuffing your kid with so much food that he can’t feel anymore is a part of the handbook.

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

Johnny: No, we’re actually meaning at Chancellor Park to do some sort of nature thing.

Billy: Okay, cool. Well, I’ll walk with you.

Johnny: Uh, no, we can skip that, too.

Billy: What’s going on here? You gonna be embarrassed of me when I call out and yell out, “Johnny, I love you, buddy, have a good day,” in front of all your friends?

Johnny: Don’t even think about it.

Billy: How are they gonna know if I don’t announce it to everybody?

Johnny: I’d rather they didn’t, dad.

Billy: Hey. Hey. I love you.

Tucker: Yeah. Yeah, it’s been a while.

Devon: Yeah, I know. Well, when was the last time? At that Ashram in Thailand?

Tucker: That’s right. So, it’s been years. We have a lot to catch up on. You have a son?

Devon: Yeah, I do. Yeah. His name’s Dominic.

Tucker: Wow. That’s terrific. Of course, that makes me a grandfather.

[Laughs] Grandpa Tucker. Boy, if I could… and look at this — this newly merged company the two of you run.

Lily: Yeah.

Tucker: And Lily, would you like to join us for dinner? The three of us could compare notes.

Lily: Um, well, thank you for the offer. I’m actually — I’m meeting Billy at Society, so I think, in this way, four would be a crowd. But… [Chuckles]

Devon: That’s a good point. Yeah.
