Michael: I am so happy that you said yes.

[ Smooches ]

Lauren: Which time?

Michael: All of them.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Including now.

Lauren: You were quite mysterious on the phone when you asked me to meet you here.

Michael: Ah. Well, mystery solved.

[ Clears throat ] I won in court

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

Lauren: You thrive on adrenaline, the kind that you get from arguing in front of a jury. Are you going to be happy with this calmer, quieter existence?

Victor: Now, wait a minute.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Calm and quiet and Michael Baldwin?

Michael: Victor.

Victor: Why don’t those three things go together?

Chloe: Is everything okay?

Chelsea: Absolutely. Why do you ask?

C:hloe Seemed a little tense out here.

Chelsea: Well, I got the impression Sally just made another move on Adam, and he shot her down right in front of me. So go easy on the poor girl. She must be humiliated.

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

 

Victor: So then Ashland is on board with your sudden urge to gobble up my company?

Victoria: You know what he’s always said. He’s always said that what he likes about me the most is my ambition.

Victor: Well, that’s what i like about my daughter, as well, you know. Which doesn’t mean I’m gonna sell the damn company to you.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Why not?

Victor: Because I want to give your brother Adam more time to prove himself as CEO. I’m not gonna yank the damn thing out from under him just because you saw through Billy’s duplicity before he did.

Victoria: Well, I won’t deny that I’m disappointed, but maybe it is for the best. Since Adam seems distracted with all of the issues in his life, it’s only a matter of time before he runs the company into the ground, at which point, i will buy it for a lot less.

Imani: Hello, you two. Long time, no see.

Nate: Hey.

Elena: Has it been? I hadn’t noticed.

Imani: Nate, that shirt is such a great color on you. It makes you look even more handsome.

Nate: Why, thank you. I never had someone pay so much attention to my shirts.

[ Both laugh ]

Elena: Hey, since you have such an eye for color, why don’t you help me resolve this issue? Which rug do you like better?

Imani: Oh, well, they’re both nice. It all depends on the decor of the rest of the room. Where’s this going to go?

Elena: Our bathroom. I moved in with Nate.

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

Sally: All I’m saying is a little later would be better for him.

Chelsea: He’ll make time for me.

Adam: I thought I told you that I was —

Chelsea: It’s me.

Adam: Nobody knocks anymore. Why do I even bother having a door? I should just take it off the hinges and let everybody waltz in and out of here at will.

Chelsea: Well, you’re in a good mood. Something happen?

Adam: It’s nothing.

Chelsea: Save it for someone who doesn’t know you like I do.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Billy came in here, shooting his mouth off like he had just won the lottery or something, when everybody knows that he is a complete and utter failure and he always will be.

Chelsea: I don’t get it. You made all these changes in your life. You’ve got everything going for you. So, why can’t you let this go? Will this battle between you and Billy ever end?

Faith: As if you don’t love school.

Moses: My first day back, I’m gonna wear this sweater. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on it. You really got me the best Christmas gift ever.

Faith: I did nail it, if I do say so myself.

Moses: Yeah, and, you know, I’m sorry my book gift wasn’t as cool. It’s just Elena mentioned getting a book from Nate, and it just seemed like a thing, like it was romantic.

Faith: I totally love it.

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

Moses: Could I be more of a dork? “Hey, Adam, you gave your kidney to my girlfriend before she was my girlfriend, but you’re still the only reason she’s around to be my girlfriend.”

Faith: That is not how you sounded.

Moses: It was lame and narcissistic, and I’m embarrassed.

Faith: Nobody thought that. It was sweet. But, yeah, the whole thing was weird. I hated Adam a lot. He’s this good guy, but then he does horrible things. Or he’s a horrible guy that does good things.

Moses: Yeah, I get it. But I’m just glad for your sake he had one of those good moments for you.

Abby: Well, I am happy to report that you are officially magic.

Chance: Oh, yeah? What’d I do?

Abby: Playtime with daddy went so well that Dom was tuckered. I mean, he fell asleep as soon as I put him down.

Chance: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, he had a good time or, you know, at least it seemed like he did.

Abby: Of course he did! He was spending time with his dad.

Chance: Yeah, well, there’s a lot more to being a good dad than acing tummy time.

Abby: Parenting has a steep learning curve. Look, there’s new challenges every day. I’m always wondering what’s right. Most of the time, I am just faking it. I mean, I have my own questions and fears.

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

Rey: You know, you keep spoiling me like this, I’m gonna have to add extra time to my workouts.

Sharon: That wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Rey: Oh, really?

Sharon: Oh, I know a good way you can work off extra calories.

Rey: Tell me more.

Chloe: Wow. Looks like someone broke in and had a party.

Adam: Very funny. I was just working late.

Chloe: Really?

Adam: Yep. If the success of the platform means I have to put in some overtime, I’ll do it, ’cause it’s important to strike while the iron’s hot. Now’s the time to line up more ad sales and sponsors.

Chloe: Good answer. Though it’s a little hard to believe your nose was to the grindstone, given the caviar, the bottle of the vodka, and two glasses.

Adam: Chloe, I don’t need to explain myself to you, okay

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

Victoria: You had a spectacular New Year’s Eve. Wow. Well [Clears throat] I would’ve thought that spending the holiday without Nick, you know, it would’ve been hard, given that you’ve just broken up and, I mean, it was my brother’s birthday. Guess you move on pretty quickly, don’t you.

Phyllis: I’m resilient.

Victoria: Hmm. Well, you didn’t spend the evening with Jack because I know he’s out of town. I wonder who you did spend it with. Maybe Amanda. Mm, although Devon probably wouldn’t have wanted you tagging along. Oh, Lauren and Michael. They let you be their third wheel, didn’t they?

Phyllis: When I was talking about my spectacular evening, i was referring to the hotel. We actually killed. We did very, very well. You know, I wasn’t here because I was having, you know, a fabulous dinner, but the feedback was great and it made me realize that all of my hard work has paid off. You know, our rooms are booked, the ballroom was packed. I had to hire more masseuses, and a number of women enjoy their time at the escape club.

Victoria: Oh, yes, well, I can see how some women might want to usher out a bad year and start off the new one with an escape fantasy. But I’m not one of those women because 2021 turned out pretty well for me.

Devon: Now, how do you just keep getting more beautiful?

Amanda: [ Laughs ]

Devon: How’s that work?

Amanda: Well, all of the credit needs to go to my hair stylist, but she’s also the reason why I’m a little late.

Devon: Oh, you are definitely worth the wait.

Amanda: Oh, New Year’s Eve is really bringing out the sweet talker in you, huh?

Devon: Oh, you’re bringing it out of me. All you. And that’s all I want tonight to be about — just you. No legal work, no family drama, just us dancing to jazz music in the ballroom and me showing you how much I love you.

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

Sharon: Well, you know what would make the New Year even better? As if you and I just spent more time together.

Rey: Mm.

Sharon: The two of us.

Rey: Mm, I think we can make that happen.

Sharon: And some travel would be good, too.

Rey: Yeah. I’d like to get down to Miami again.

Sharon: Yeah, we should do that before the spring because I’d love being in the hot weather knowing everyone back here is in the freezing cold.

Rey: Mm, no argument here.

Sharon: We should take a trip in the fall, too. Maybe Europe.

:Rey Oh. Okay. I like that idea. Tell me what else is on your list.

Chelsea: And thank you for the gift you sent him. Oh, my gosh! Chicago Blackhawks jersey. Wow. I mean, he put it on as we’re opening gifts and he’s yet to take it off.

Rey: Well, I’m glad he liked it.

Chelsea: Yeah, yeah. Connor’s really into hockey these days, so it was perfect. Very thoughtful. Thank you.

Rey: He’s a great kid.

Chelsea: He is. You know, Connor worships the ground you walk on and he thinks you walk on water.

[ Chuckles ] As leery as I am about Victor having, you know, as much access to him as he wants, it’s really comforting to me knowing that you live close by.

Rey: Well, he seems to be doing well. I saw him getting in some practice on the ice with Noah the other day, and, you know, he may be new to the sport, but he’s definitely got some skills.

Chelsea: Oh. Says the guy from Miami.

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

Mariah: You are not gonna win this one, Tessa. She’s determined.

Sharon: I just want everything to be perfect for you.

Tessa: I mean, it is — perfect size, perfect location.

Mariah: Complete access to the best coffee in town and close to you.

Sharon: Sounds like you’re trying to butter up your landlady.

Mariah: We were thinking more like… grandma.

Phyllis: Hey. Are you back on work mode after the holiday?

Nick: Just a quick meeting.

Phyllis: Ah.

Nick: I see you in boss mode, too.

Phyllis: No, I mean, hotels don’t close during this time, so, anyway, I didn’t have any time off. That was fun, our video chat with Summer and the gang.

Nick: Yeah, well, it was pretty clear Harrison liked your Christmas gift the best.

Phyllis: Oh, no. You know, it’s not a contest. But if it were, I’d win.

Nick: I’m actually wearing the gift you gave me right now.

Phyllis: I know. I smelled your essence. So don’t expect a birthday gift from me. I didn’t plan that far in advance.

Nick: I will lower my expectations, yeah. Besides, I gave myself the best birthday gift ever. I’m gonna go and see Summer.

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

Victoria: Why do you want me to think the worst of you? Are you trying to make me feel guilty because you lost your job? Is that what’s going on here? Because, if so, that’s the most passive-aggressive thing that I’ve ever witnessed. Not to mention it’s completely ineffective.

Billy: Well, you’re onto something there. It’s damn near impossible to get a Newman to feel guilty about anything. It’s like the empathy gene skipped a few generations.

Sharon: It’s a slow night.

Noah: Yep.

Sharon: People usually come here for hot chocolate or coffee after skating and shopping. I mean, where are they all? This place is usually packed before Christmas.

Noah: Absolutely.

Sharon: Of course, I did sell those eight carrot cake muffins to the portly gentleman wearing a red and white fur coat. He was buying them for his reindeer.

Noah: Oh, well, that’s good.

Sharon: I’m so glad you’re home, Noah. You know, I was getting tired of you ignoring me in London. Now you can just ignore me right here in Genoa City.

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

Sharon: Are you sure you can’t be pulled away from your computer for a moment to talk to your family?

Nick: Yeah, Noah, you can continue to ignore us. I mean, we are just your parents. I’m sure you have other — actually, you don’t. We’re it. We’re your parents, man.

Noah: Come on, stop, stop.

Sharon: Well, we’re here. We’re ready to bond with you.

Noah: Oh, yeah? You guys have important information you want to share? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure you were talking about carrot cake muffins before dad walked in.

Sharon: Oh, so you were listening a little.

Elena: Sharon. Just the person I was looking for.

Sharon: Oh, well, that phrase can sound ominous, but coming from you, sounds like a delightful invitation.

Elena: Yeah, I keep missing you. Our schedules this holiday season haven’t aligned.

Sharon: It’s such a hectic time of the year. I hope you and Nate had a nice Christmas.

Elena: We did. Actually, that is part of the reason why I wanted to talk to you. But I didn’t want to do it over the phone.

Sharon: Oh, what’s going on?

Elena: I have to give notice on the apartment upstairs.

Sharon: What? Is everything okay?

Elena: Yeah, everything’s great, actually. Nate and I decided to move in together.

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

Devon: What are you doing, man? Figured you’d be clearing stuff out of your place to make room for Elena.

Nate: [ Laughs ]

Devon: Come in.

Nate: Okay, are you implying I have junk that I need to get rid of?

Devon: No, I’m not implying anything. I’m saying it.

Nate: Well, I’ll have you know that I just dropped off several bags of clothes at the New Hope donation center.

Devon: Oh, wow. That’s very nice of you. Did you get rid of those ugly purple lamps you have?

Nate: No, those were expensive. I kept them.

Devon: However much you paid, they ripped you off. Elena’s gonna throw those things away the first day she gets there.

Nate: I am so glad I came by here to check in on you, so i could get critiqued about my interior decorating skills.

Faith: Suck it up, Santa. It’s your big night. You’ve got a long way to go to get ready for tomorrow.

Nick: Not this year.

Faith: Oh, really?

Nick: Mm-hmm. I got all my shopping done before Christmas Eve.

Faith: You brag, but is everything wrapped?

Nick: Mm.

Faith: Ha! Yeah, I knew it.

Nick: Well, don’t you worry your pointy little ears, sassy elf. I got it covered.

Faith: If you say so.

Victoria: So, how did the conversation with dad go once mom was able to get you two in the same room? I hope that it was at least productive.

Victor: I told Nicholas what an excellent father he is. Far more connected and present with his children than I ever was with mine.

Adam: That’s an understatement.

Victor: And I’m proud to see him with his children.

Nick: Well, it’s more complicated than that. It always is.

Nikki: Well, we are family.

Victor: And it is Christmas.

Adam: That magical time of year where we get together to dwell on how dysfunctional we are.

Sharon: I know it can be really hard to be away from the people you love this time of year. But, hey, how would you feel about inviting Nicholas and Christian over for Christmas dinner?

Rey: Let’s do it. I’ll add another leaf to the table.

Sharon: You are so generous.

Rey: Mnh.

Sharon: You know, that’s one of the many things I love about you.

Rey: As long as the invitation doesn’t extend to Nick’s brother, hmm? There are limitations to my generosity.

Sharon: I’m sure Adam has his own plans with Connor.

Rey: How’s your mother doing these days?

Chelsea: Mom’s doing well. Yeah. She’s gotten most of her mobility back, and she still speaks very highly of you, Rey.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

[ Both laugh ]

Sharon: Really? You neglected to tell me that part of your security detail.

Rey: Well, what can I say? Mature chicks dig me.
