Adam: Little early for that, don’t you think?

Billy: You don’t want to know what I’m thinking, Adam. Adam Newman, thank you for your — your guidance and your insight, Mr. Media Mogul. Oh, hold on a second. Who’s that? Oh! Your daddy’s calling for you.

Adam: Yeah. Drinking alone at the bar — why am I not surprised, Billy? I mean, after such a swift and spectacular fall, no one could blame you for losing it a bit.

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

Billy: You know, I’d think you’d be proud of me. I have a full-time job — making sure you and Victor don’t get your grimy little fingers all over ChanceCom.

Adam: Well, you don’t have any leverage left in that department. In fact, you don’t have any leverage left in any department, do you?

Billy: Goodbye, Adam.

Adam: Okay, I mean, Billy, why couldn’t you just leave well enough alone? You just had to mess with victoria’s future. I mean, did you really think that she would appreciate that you still have a protective streak in you? Well, surprise — she didn’t.

Billy: [ Scoffs ] I said goodbye.

Adam: And we know Ashland doesn’t respond well to attacks, so you pretty much just set yourself up. And now you’ve blown your one chance to prove that you could be a leader.

Billy: Yeah. So I guess I’m the lost cause that you think I am.

Adam: [ Sighs ] It’s too bad, especially given everything you’ve already had to face.

Billy: Honestly, it doesn’t matter what I face. It’s still better than being you. Excuse me. Can I get another apple juice please? Thanks.

Victoria: How about just give me one clue?

Ashland: Alright, just one. I actually was making arrangements for a present.

Victoria: Oh, really?! For me?

Ashland: Well, who else? And that is all I’m going to say about it.

Victoria: [ Gasps ] Person, place, or thing? Can it fit under the Christmas tree?

[ Both laugh ]

Ashland: Well, look at you. That’s a nice try.

Victoria: Oh, well, if at first you don’t succeed… come on. Tell me. You know you want to tell me. Just whisper it in my ear. I promise you, I won’t tell a soul.

Ashland: God, you are so beautiful. And you break down all of my willpower. But it won’t work this time.

Victoria: I hope you don’t think that I’m giving up.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Well, I will rebuff all of your futile attempts to break me down.

Victoria: You’re in rare form today.

Ashland: Well, this is a day that I haven’t had in quite a while. I feel happy and strong, and I think I owe it all to you and my new treatment.

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

Billy: Hi. Don’t you have a big, fancy conglomerate to rule over?

Victoria: Well, you know, even rulers get coffee breaks. I’m glad I ran into you. I was actually gonna call and see if you had time to meet.

Billy: Oh, I’ve got nothing but time. What’s going on?

Victoria: I, um, I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Billy: Fair to middlin’. I’ll be much better once I get out of here and have a little something stronger to drink than coffee.

Victoria: A little early, don’t you think?

Billy: Oh, I don’t know about that. It’s cocktail hour in Paris. Thinking after that, I’ll hit up a poker game and probably lose a small fortune. Then, maybe jump on a private jet and go to Vegas and just lose myself entirely because that’s what you expect me to do, right? And I wouldn’t want to disappoint.

Adam: Hey. Fueling up for the workday?

Sally: Yeah, just a little caffeine and some brain food to get my wheels turning.

Adam: Mm. Do you mind if I join you?

Sally: Not at all. I’d love the company.

Adam: So I was — was thinking about what you said yesterday about your run-in with Billy.

Sally: Oh? ‘Cause I distinctly remember you telling me to stay out of your business with him.

Adam: Um…I had a change of heart. Sounds like he was in quite a state. Maybe you could find out more about what’s going on with him.

Sally: Are you asking me to spy for you?

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

throw pillows?

Abby: I did, yep, yep. I wasn’t a fan of the old ones, and apparently Dominic wasn’t either, because he spit up all over them.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, he’s got good taste. We might have an interior designer on our hands.

Chance: I’m sorry I missed that.

Abby: There will be plenty more spit-up to come.

Phyllis: Hey.

Jack: Hiya. May we all find someone to look at us the way Abby and Chance look at each other.

Phyllis: Yeah, it’s nice.

Jack: You certainly threw this party together rather quickly.

Phyllis: Well, you know, they asked me to. They — they’ve gone through a lot. They deserve it. So, I’m glad your trip was successful.

J ack:Oh, thanks. I am just in awe of my niece right now. The devotion, the dedication, the level of love is so deep and connected that, well, she seemed to know in her heart that chance was alive even when everyone was telling her there’s no way he could’ve survived.

Phyllis: Well, that is a special kind of love, when you — when you find it, you have to hold onto it with both hands.

Jack: I’m sure she’s gonna cherish it all the more knowing that she almost lost him. And what he endured, my God. Faking his own death in order to not be discovered. I don’t know anything about that. I do know it’s good that he’s home.

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

Sharon: Hmm. So, you don’t want to dampen the festivities, I get it.

Nick: You got it. I don’t want to put Chance through any more of the Newman family drama.

Sharon: Well, just make a decision to be civil. You know, I doubt that Victoria and Victor want things to get ugly either.

Nick: It’s not that simple. I mean, earlier today, Ashland and I got into it yet again.

Sharon: What? Why? I thought that all of your issues with him were moot at this point.

Nick: It was his doing. You know, he summoned me to Newman Enterprises and basically demanded that I tell him all the reasons why I don’t like and trust him, which I did in incredible detail.

[ Sighs ] And wouldn’t you know it, Victoria just happens to walk in as I’m warning him that he better not hurt Victoria.

Sharon: Oh, no.

Nick: Yeah. I tried to tell her that this is what Ashland wanted, but she didn’t care. And then she’s the one who told me that Chance is alive, which is just further proof that I am completely out of the loop in this family.

Sharon: Wow. And here I was thinking that you were just worried you were gonna run into Phyllis and things might get a little awkward.

Billy: Ah. Can I get another one, please? Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Ah, yeah, that explains it. Could feel the joy being sucked out of the room. What are you doing here?

Victor: Well, I certainly am not sitting at a bar in the middle of the day, wallowing in self-pity and my failures.

Billy: Thank you, sir.

Victor: Is that the first one?

Billy: Ah. I think you know it’s not. I’m having an adult beverage. There’s worse things a man can do.

Victor: [ Laughs ] You certainly would know, wouldn’t you?

Billy: You know, Victor, the last time I saw you, I was a groveling, sniffling mess.

Victor: You were.

Billy: I played the sacrificial lamb, laid myself at your feet, asking for mercy. That’s not gonna happen again.

Victor: Oh?

Billy: So if you’re looking for that today, you’re gonna be disappointed

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

Victor: So, Billy boy, i understand that Victoria and Ashland made a preemptive offer for ChanceCom.

Billy: That is right, they did.

Victor: Hmm. Good move on their part.

Billy: You know, when I came to you and offered to step down from ChanceCom in order to make sure that Llily could run the company on her own without interference, thought I was gonna hear from you. But now I understand that all you want to do is watch me squirm.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Wait for ChanceCom to lose some value so you can come in and swoop it up. Except now you have some competition.

Victor: Do you think that you mommy, Jill, is going to accept the offer?

Billy: Do you think that I’m gonna tell you that?

Victor: Do you know why i think Victoria made that preemptive offer? To spare you the humiliation of losing to Adam. In other words, Victoria came to your rescue. Huh? But no matter how you turn this, no matter what direction you will go in, you’ll have to face the music. You’re gonna have to pay the consequence of your actions.

You are approached by a reporter.

Lily: Newman Media or another outlet?

Billy: Your choice. They ask you what the hell you’re thinking staying with the man that tanked your entire empire.

Lily: I know.

Billy: Why not just, you know, cut him loose and wash your hands of the whole thing?

Lily: You know, I would say i should, but I love him, we’re partners, and I believe in second chances.

Billy: Wow, I was half-joking, but that is one of the nicest things you’ve ever said to me.

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

Ashland: 10 — that’s how many times you’ve checked the phone since we arrived.

Victoria: Are you keeping tabs on me?

Ashland: Well, you’re worse than I am. You know, when I was on the verge of making a killing, I couldn’t keep my eyes off my screen. I was always checking to see if the prey I was after had rolled over in defeat.

Billy: Yeah, you got big plans today?

Phyllis: Um, why are you curious?

Billy: I guess I’m not. I was just trying to be polite.

Phyllis: Oh, well, you don’t have to be polite. I don’t want to rub my exciting plans that I have for Thanksgiving in your face, you know? Because I’m sure you’re gonna be spending the holiday alone, fixing that mess at ChanceCom.

Billy: Yeah, hopefully I can fit a plate of turkey in between the damage control.

Phyllis: Good luck with that. I read that article on Ashland. Wow. And the embarrassing retraction.

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

Gloria: Hello, Phyllis. Isn’t it a heavenly day?

Phyllis: I guess it is.

Gloria: [ Chuckles ] Must be something in the air. I feel like I’m positively glowing.

Phyllis: Well, that could be the radioactive waves emanating from your ego.

Gloria: Oh, no, silly. It’s your spa, thank you very much. I am in between treatments, and I feel absolutely transformed, like a — like a golden goddess.

Phyllis: Well, I am very glad to hear that our estheticians have done you right.

Gloria: Oh, yes, oh, yes. I am so thankful for the massages and the facials I scheduled for today, and the fact that your spa is open on a holiday. And I mean, it’s — I feel badly for the masseuses and the facialists who have to work, but I will tip them generously because JCV is doing phenomenally well under my charge.

Elena: See? No worries. Just a little heat rash. Nothing serious.

Devon: Yeah? The nanny said the same thing, but I just wanted to double-check and make for sure.

Elena: Well, I will write down the name of an ointment you can pick up at the pharmacy. It’s over-the-counter. So it should clear up in a day or two.

Devon: That’d be perfect. That’d be perfect. Thank you so much for coming by. I appreciate it.

Elena: Yeah, of course. I’m glad you called. And just got off work, so it was no problem at all.

Elena: Mm, good. You hear that, buddy? Doctor says you’re gonna be just fine. I’m gonna get you some ointment and
clear up that rash. You’ll be good to go.

[ Chuckles ] What?

Elena: It’s just… it’s nice to see you like this.

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

Ashland: Oh, thank you, sweetheart, but, truly, there’s no cause for alarm here.

Victoria: Are you sure you’re okay?

Ashland: Mm. You know, the effects of the initial treatments that i received in Peru were — were a little rough, but the doctors told me to expect that. In fact, it’s probably good news, and it’s just a sign that the medication is doing its job.

Victoria: Maybe I should take you home.

Ashland: Well, that’s a good point.

Victoria: Not to mention a big chunk of ChanceCom consists of a division that i sold to them.

Ashland: I see where you’re going with this.

Victoria: You know, my father, he was never okay with me selling off this division to Billy. I have to think that he would be a little bit disappointed if i didn’t try to get it back.

[ Both laugh ]

Ashland: My adorably brilliant wife. I really do love the way your mind works.

Victor: However, entrusting you with an infant, I mean, you’re gonna have to change diapers, perhaps, you know?

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: I mean, this is putting a lot of responsibility on you.

Devon: No, I understand. I do, and I assure you that I’m up for it.

Victor: Yeah?

Devon: I really am. I am more than happy to take care of Dominic while Abby takes care of herself. And she’s left me with everything that I could need, and she’s having the nanny come, so we’re okay.

Victor: Well, as I said — but what?

Devon: But it’s Abby taking off like she has without telling anybody, it’s — I’m worried.

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

Adam: Well, welcome back.

Ashland: Thank you.

Adam: You look energized. Hope that glow isn’t all about besting Billy. I hope there was some good news with your trip to the clinic in Peru.

Ashland: I was put on an experimental protocol, and I’ve already received a full regimen of the treatment.

Adam: Well, I am glad to hear that. I’m sure Victoria’s relieved, as well.

Ashland: Yes, we’re both feeling very positive. I’m actually happier for her than I am for myself. You’ll never get her to admit it, but this illness has taken quite a toll on her.

Adam: I’m sure it has. Well, my sister’s obviously very much in love.

Ashland: That makes two of us. I’ve been keeping up on everything going on around here, and it looks like it’s all on track.

Lauren: Here you go. One extra-hot triple-shot mocha with a dash of cinnamon, just the way you like it.

Michael: [ Laughs ] What did I do to deserve this?

Lauren: So many things. But let’s start with the superb job you did of grilling that defense witness yesterday. I’m just so glad I got to see you in court. I just wish they had been videotaping it because it was truly a master class in cross-examination. My love, you are an artiste.

Michael: Thank you for that high praise. I have to admit, it — it really does wonders for my mojo knowing that my biggest fan is sitting in the gallery.

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

Nick: So, what looks good to you?

Phyllis: Um…the huevos rancheros or blueberry pancakes.

Nick: Strong. I am definitely gonna go with —

Phyllis: The spinach, mushroom, Swiss omelet, get rid of the toast, substitute it with a fruit cup, and a side of habanero salsa.

Nick: How’d you know that?

Phyllis: ‘Cause I know you. You know, you’re a creature of habit. You only order two things on this menu. The other day, you had the bacon waffle. I know all your habits.

Nick: Yeah, I do only order those two things. Guilty as charged.

Phyllis: This isn’t gonna work.

Nick: What?

Phyllis: “What?” This. You know, us being pals and buddies. I don’t think we can get past this tension

Sally: Ashley Abbott. Wow, you are the last person i expected to see.

Ashley: I don’t think you expected to get caught.

Sally: I wasn’t up to anything. I work here now.

Ashley: Yeah. I heard.

Sally: Well, I was just waiting for Adam to get done with his meeting with Victor so he could sign these purchase reports for our upcoming photo shoots.

Ashley: I have some things to discuss with Victor, and it might take a while, so I suggest you find something else to do. Elsewhere, perhaps.

Sally: Yes. Thank you for the suggestion.

***”*************

Billy: No, he didn’t. I guess I’m just getting a little crazy thinking that Adam was capable of doing something to that extreme.

Rey: Oh, you don’t think Adam Newman is capable of abducting someone?

Billy: Well, maybe in the old days. But he’s a changed man now. Haven’t you heard? Yeah, he’s got a new job. He’s a respectful parent. He’s doing a great job impersonating a decent human being, and I don’t think that he’s gonna jeopardize all of that for a nobody.

Phyllis: So you spent your entire lunch giving me a pep talk, and now you’re going to work out.

Jack: Well, you exercised my brain. Now I have to take care of the rest of my body.

Phyllis: Thank you for pulling me out of my funk.

Jack: I’m always here for you.

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

Sally: I have zero hope and zero interest in rekindling things with Jack, and I’ve accepted that it’s never gonna happen. But it infuriates me that I am considered a pariah in this town and treated like a total villain while Phyllis, somehow, is the wicked witch with a heart of gold. That woman hurt Jack far worse than I ever did, and now, i mean, look at him. He’s still pining after her and trying — not so subtly, in my opinion — to steal her away from Nick.

Chloe: Okay, well, it’s a bit of a leap. Phyllis and Jack have remained close friends over the years.

Sally: Yeah, that’s my point. How? I mean, why does Jack give Phyllis a free pass when he acts like i don’t deserve a smidge of forgiveness?

Chloe: It’s a mistake to think that you’re entitled to forgiveness when you’ve wronged people. It’s earned. It takes time.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I’m exhausted, but I am too excited to sleep. Thank you so much for calling me back, Kim.  And when you said that Chance was alive and here in Majorca, it was the most alive I have felt in weeks. Have you
seen him?

Kim: Yes.

Abby: On the phone, you said that he was in a bad way. What does that mean? Can he talk? Is he unconscious?

Kim: Abby, dear, breathe.

Abby: Okay. [ Chuckles ] I’m sorry, I’m just excited. That’s how I get when I’m excited.

Kim: Yes, I know. Chance told me.

Abby: So, he can speak.

Kim: Yes. You’ll be able to converse with him, I imagine.

Abby: When? I mean, I have to see him as soon as possible. I’m sorry, I will be calmer.

Kim: We’ve been here in Majorca so long, I’m not accustomed to that American energy

Nate: Didn’t think I could eat that much.

Devon: Dude, I didn’t think any human could eat that much.

Nate: [ Laughs ] So what about you? How many sweet potatoes did you consume?

Devon: Sweet potatoes? I don’t keep count, man. I just like them. I had some more, though, at the Newmans’.

Nate: Are you kidding me?

Devon: Nah, man. I’m not gonna be rude and reject their hospitality.

Nate: So that’s what you all did after dinner, you went to another dinner.

Devon: Well, yeah, no, Amanda went to go see her mom and her sister, so I brought Dominic to see his grandparents.

Nate: Okay, that’s thoughtful. Well, Elena and I, we couldn’t move. Total food coma.

Devon: Oh, yeah?

Nate: I was in bed by 8:00.

Devon: Wow. I’m sure that was probably nice, though. You know, you haven’t been getting a lot of sleep these day
as chief of surgery, I bet.
