Sally: It’s just when you offered me the job of my choice at McCall, I knew it was a terrible idea. Like, what were you thinking? Look… we can never, ever work together again.

Adam: I’m assuming that you and Nick arrived at this decision together.

Sally: No.

Adam: Sorry. I just thought he would be the one to make such a reckless decision.

Sally: Reckless?

Adam: I– I don’t know. Brave? Crazy? Call it what you want. I– I’m giving you a chance to write your own ticket, Sally. To choose your own job, to create your own culture. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to design the job of your dreams.

Sally: Just so we’re clear, just because I’m with your brother doesn’t mean that I don’t make my own decisions.

Adam: Okay. Of course, you do. That’s why I gave you carte blanche. Hasty of me. I– I guess I was just excited about the idea of us working together again.

[Adam sighs] You know, it wasn’t that bad at Newman Media, was it?

Sally: We had our moments.

Adam: We can have them again. But this time on our own terms, answering to no one.

Sally: We were lightning in a bottle, Adam.

Adam: You can’t tell me that you don’t want that again.

Sally: I want different things now. And I have made my decision. There isn’t a Newman alive who will ever sign my paychecks again.

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

Adam: I mean, clarify this for me. Is it the name? Genetics? Is it anybody with Newman DNA, or is it everyone in– in the family of which you’re about to be a part of?

Sally: It’s you and Nick, for obvious reasons.

Adam: Has there been any movement with Chancellor-Winters?

Sally: No, there hasn’t been any movement, but, you know, there’s other ways to grow our business, and if there’s one thing that Chloe and I do best, it is pivot. You know, turn on a dime, make things happen. Will you respect my decision?

Adam: Sally… what don’t I respect about you?

Ashley: Thanks for the break. I should get back to work.

Tucker: Hold on. Not until you’ve told me why you’ve been distracted this whole time. Don’t tell me you’ve grown inured to my charms.

Ashley: Is that even humanly possible?

Tucker: No.

Ashley: It’s her.

Tucker: Oh, Diane?

Ashley: Of course. How did this happen? How is she out on bail and living with us?

Tucker: Karmic payback for something we did in our past life, or this one? Hard to say.

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

Tucker: I realize that having Diane under the same roof is a nightmare for you, but let’s not forget that you also invited me into your home.

Ashley: I know, I’m partially to blame for the tension.

Tucker: No, no, no, no, no.

Ashley: I get it.

Tucker: No, what I’m saying is while I’m there, it will be my mission to distract you with more, uh, pleasurable thoughts.

Ashley: Oh. Well, I like that. It’s not good for me to be so angry all the time.

Tucker: No, it isn’t. And if it’s any consolation, I’m gonna do my best to make sure that Diane’s stay is as unpleasant for her as possible.

Ashley: Okay.

Sally: You spent the night.

Nick: I mean, how could I leave? You pretty much demanded I activate my legendary spooning skills.

Sally: Well, you definitely have considerable talent in that area. Where are you off to now? Going home to see Christian?

Nick: Yeah, I’m just gonna run home and change and make sure he gets off to school

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

Nick: Oh, dad, uh, you know, he tried to dust off one of his old shady moves from the Victor Newman playbook.

Nikki: What has he done?

Nick: Tried to pay off Sally.

[Chuckles dryly] He has completely ignored all of my warnings to steer clear of her.

Nikki: [Exhales] And I was just reminding your sister how your father plays by his own rules and doesn’t give a damn how it affects anybody else.

Victoria: Uh, yeah. And of course, I was shocked by those revelations.

Nikki: Okay. If you two will excuse me, I will give you some privacy so you can complain about your parents.  Nicholas, can you come see me later?

Mariah: I am, a very nice time. Uh, but I was hoping that you could enlighten me.

Sharon: Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Mariah: So, I obviously know about harmony from Devon. Um, but this is the first time we’ve met. What I don’t understand is Ashley. She seems to be staring daggers at harmony every time she thinks somebody isn’t looking.

Sharon: Uh, good observation skills.

Mariah: It’s a gift.

Sharon: Back when tucker and Ashley were married, he and harmony had a moment.

Mariah: Got it, got it. So, harmony is not Ashley’s favorite person. Well, that certainly makes things interesting.

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

Devon: Yeah, I was just thinking about how almost everything in my life I have today because Neil was gracious enough all those years ago to welcome me into your family. And you and I are running a company right now that only exists because he was willing to create it with me. And I’ve never imagined being able to do enough in life to thank him or honor him properly. And I don’t know why it took me this long to think of doing this because it makes so much sense to me, but… I wanna take Neil’s last name and legally go by Devon Winters.

[Lily exhaling] Would you be okay with me doing something like that?

Harmony: That’s exactly how it should be.

Devon: Yeah? Malcolm, what do you think?

Malcolm: Hey. You know what he would say, right?

Devon: I think he’d say, “my man.”

Malcolm: My man. Devon, he would love this. Now, you know him. He’d try to keep it all cool on the outside when on the inside, he’d be a mess. You’re doing the right thing. Look at you. My boy is finally part of the family. You’re a Winters now and you’re my brother.

Devon: Thank you. Thank you, man.

Malcolm: Yeah.

Devon: Lily, do you approve of me doing this too?

[Lily chuckling]

Lily: Of course, I approve. I– I love this. I mean, what a beautiful way to honor dad. And you’re already my brother, in every way. Devon Winters. Devon and Lily Winters.

Devon: Sounds– sounds good.

Lily: Yeah

Ashley: I’m just gonna be very honest with you. All right? He was serious about leaving town and I knew that he wanted to be close to Devon and Dominic and frankly, Abby, I wasn’t ready to see him go.

Abby: Oh, my god.

Ashley: So, I came up with this idea that maybe we could work it out.

Abby: So, it was you. You were the one who convinced tucker to stay.

Ashley: I’ve got my eyes wide open.

Abby: I have to tell you, mom, I think this is ridiculous and
honestly, a little pathetic.

Ashley: Abby, I’m still your mother. Watch your mouth.
[Abby sighing] Look, I see a good man who’s trying to do the right thing, but he– he always does the wrong thing.

Abby: And you can’t change him.

Ashley: I’m just giving him a little room to give it a shot.

Abby: To give it a shot.

Ashley: That’s it. All right. Now, are you angry because Devon invited tucker to Neil’s tribute tonight?

Abby: I think that’s a little bit different, don’t you? I mean, that’s a father and son thing, asking him to come to an event for one night, but you, you are asking him to move into our family’s home. Are you serious? Oh, my gosh

Mariah: Tessa sends her love, by the way. She’s at home with the baby. Probably giving her a bottle as we speak.

Devon: Aw. I’m sure when she’s a little closer to dom’s age, her schedule will mirror yours a little better.

Mariah: A little? Oh, my goodness, you’re scaring me.

Devon: Maybe, not at all. I don’t know. All babies are, you know.

Mariah: They’re different. Yes, we keep hearing that. Every day is a new experience. It’s a good thing that we like surprises.

Devon: Isn’t it crazy to think about our kids growing up together?

Mariah: They’re gonna be best friends. Forever. Just like us.

Jack: That’s right. I’m going to have to liquidate some capital. I need a cashier’s check today. I know it’s a lot of money, Frank. Good. Let me know when it’s ready. Thanks.

Ashley: Hey, what’s that about?

Jack: I am in no mood to discuss that with you. Frankly, I am not interested in sharing any of the details of my personal conversations with you.

Ashley: If you want privacy, Jack, go someplace else. This is a common room. You never know who’s gonna hear what around here.

Jack: Boy, and who do we have to thank for that? This latest stunt of yours is reprehensible. That you would choose this time for your dirty little trick. Throwing Tucker in all of our faces. This is a new low, even for you.

Victoria: Okay. I’m listening.

Nate: I want to confirm that we’re putting aside the personal, for now, and focusing strictly on the business side. At least until I can figure out where my head is at.

Victoria: Yes. Yeah, I think that’s a good plan.

Nate: Really?

Victoria: I’M… I’m on board. We’ll focus strictly on work for now. I can only imagine how conflicted you must be. And I just want you to take time before you figure out what comes next.

Chance: Yeah. Well, I am just consulting on this case. His body was found in Pheasant Lake. It’s outside my jurisdiction.

Summer: You’ll know more about stark than anyone in that area. You know what a disgusting thug he was.

Chance: The guys over there, they’re good and his record speaks for itself.

Summer: So, you’re not here looking for clues or anything?

Chance: You know, that’s not really what detectives do. I don’t just pop up random places, whip out a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes.

Summer: From what I’ve seen, your method is usually to watch. The brooding look in your eye. It’s why I asked you to go to my mom’s memorial service because you watch. You analyze.

Chance: Yeah. Most of the time. Today, I just came up here to think through. Same as you, I imagine? Yeah. Yeah, I bet we have a lot of the same things weighing on our minds.

Tucker: I was gonna make you breakfast in bed.

Ashley: I only see coffee.

Tucker: Yeah, I’m still navigating my way around that kitchen.

Ashley: It’s very sweet. I’ll give you a tip though. If you want to catch me before I go in to work, you’re gonna have to start a little earlier.

Tucker: Yeah, but it’s impossible to know when you get up ’cause my room’s all the way down the hall. We’re gonna have to fix that, I think.

Tucker: Oh, you mean like what’s the meaning of life and all that?

Jack: My family is in crisis right now, Diane is in jail. Summer is mourning the loss of her mother. We are struggling through every hour of every day and Ashley drops you on us. It’s offensive.

Tucker: It’s offensive that your sister is moving forward with her life?

Jack: With you? Yes.

Tucker: Jack, I know you don’t like me.

Jack: You apparently don’t realize how much I don’t like you.

Tucker: But believe it or not, I am as dedicated to family as you are.

Jack: You don’t know the meaning of the word.

Tucker: Which word?

Jack: Family.

Tucker: Uh, that’s true. I’m not as great at it as you are, but I’d like to be and I’m trying to be. And that’s one of the reasons I’m here. Uh, I’d like to repair my relationship with Devon and Ashley understands that. So, she’s offered to let me move in here.

Jack: Oh, let’s be clear. Ashley asked you to move in here to make my life hell.

Tucker: Jack, I hope you will receive this in the spirit that it’s offered, but not everything’s about you. And I came back to Genoa City expressly to, uh, to show Ashley that I’m worthy of her love. And so we can make a real future together.

Jack: A future? With you?

Tucker: Yeah.

Jack: After the unending pain you caused her. How did you con her into believing that!?

Tucker: Yeah.

Jack: After the unending pain you caused her. How did you con her into believing that?

Tucker: So, you think that she’s just so easily manipulated that she’s fallen prey to my evil agenda?

Jack: Yeah, that about sizes it up.

Tucker: That’s funny because that’s exactly what she thinks about you and Diane.

Victoria: It wasn’t so much a warning as an “I told you so.” Just tell me, please, that you turned down his offer.

Nick: Vic, come on. There’s no way I’m bailing on you to go and babysit Adam. I’m pretty sure mom’s not going anywhere either.

Victoria: Can you imagine our mother and Adam running a company together? That’ll be the day. So, what else did dad have to share? Any other suggestions that I should know about?

************””****””””**

Victoria: You know, it makes no difference what you and Sally think. Once that baby arrives, there’s no way in hell that you’re gonna be able to keep it away from dad. Not to mention, this is not your fight. Sally and Adam are the parents, so really, it’s up to them.

Nick: Thank you for the reminder.

Nick: Sure. Mom going with you?

Victor: And now it begins. The competition, I mean.

Nikki: Yes, of course.

Victoria: You know, if you’re still planning on putting Adam in charge, that’s– that’s a relief. Because he’s certainly doomed to fail. Thankfully, it’s not gonna be on my watch. So, as far as I’m concerned, it’s a win-win situation.

Billy: No comment. The family is requesting privacy at this moment. No need to call tomorrow ’cause you’re gonna get the same two words. Know them. Learn them. No comment.

Kyle: You doing the same thing I’ve been doing?

Billy: Trying to find new and exciting ways to tell these reporters to buzz off?

Kyle: Mm. Mariah’s coming back from maternity leave early to help us manage the situation.

Billy: That’s good. All hands on deck. We’ve been at this for a few hours right now and I don’t see it slowing down.

Kyle: I was hoping work would be an distraction from my family’s problems. Instead, the problems are swallowing up everything else.

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

Ashley: You okay? Sure I don’t have to ask you what that phone call was about.

Jack: What is happening to Diane is in travesty of justice.

Ashley: Okay, and you’re gonna set things straight.

Jack: Well, I’m certainly gonna help.

Ashley: What does that exactly mean? Who were you talking to?

Jack: Michael put me in touch with a financial forensics expert who is working on Diane’s defense.

Ashley: Okay. Well, Michael’s her attorney, so let him handle things, jack.

Jack: I’m trying to help him.

Ashley: What kind of help can you provide?

Jack: I am trying to save my fiancée from a life behind bars.

Ashley: I get it. So, you’re gonna make sure that once again, Diane doesn’t have to take responsibility for her actions.

Kyle: Marchetti’s operating expenses rose because the employee headcount increased when we acquired those textile factories from Newman. If you had looked carefully, you would have noticed–

Billy: That wasn’t at all condescending, was it?

Kyle: If you had looked carefully, you would have noticed that those costs are more than offset by the contractor fees. Not to mention all the other added benefits of bringing manufacturing in-house.

Billy: Yeah, see the problem with that is that historically deals between Jabot and Newman haven’t worked out very well for Jabot.

Kyle: I made that deal with victor with my eyes wide open and it led to Adam’s departure. Paved the way for your return. So, how about a thank you, instead of criticizing?

Billy: No, I’m not criticizing, Kyle. My issue is with victor. I wouldn’t put it past the guy to force a bunch of troubled properties on Jabot.

Kyle: Targeting those factories was my idea, not Victor’s. I knew exactly what I was doing. The numbers are high right now, as expected, but everything is going according to plan.

Billy: Yeah, I still think we need to pay attention–

Kyle: Billy, Billy! I don’t need your opinion. I have complete autonomy over Marchetti, so whatever you think about my business decisions doesn’t really matter.

Billy: Just trying to get the lay of land before I actually dig in.

Kyle: The land is just fine.

Billy: Good to know. Since you are in the office today, I do have an idea on how to bring jabot and Marchetti together. If you’re willing to listen.

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

Billy: This is not my first stint at Jabot.

Kyle: No kidding. You’ve been CEO how many times? Co-CEO, your mom fired you, my dad fired you. Everybody has fired you.

Billy: But there’s a positive there, I’ve learned from my mistakes. And I’m also bringing the experience that I have from working at Chancellor-Winters when they went through their merger. I know how to bring two companies together. And under the current configuration, jabot is not maximizing the potential of having Marchetti under its umbrella.

Kyle: Thanks for your input, but our strategy of keeping Marchetti and Jabot separate from the beginning has proven successful. I see no reason to change course.

Billy: Sometimes, you gotta think outside the box, Kyle.

Kyle: And what about the Jabotiques? Weren’t those another one of your failures?

Billy: I’m gonna let that one slide because you’re under tremendous personal pressure.

Kyle: Yeah, I know you pride yourself on being that guy, the innovator, the idea guy, but sometimes, outside the box is just outside of the box.

Billy: And sometimes, it’s exactly what you need. And because this idea involves both Marchetti and Jabot, you can’t unilaterally veto it.

Kyle: And by the same token, you can’t unilaterally implement it. It’s my dad’s call.

Billy: Great. I’ll talk to jack, see what he has to say.

Kyle: Fine by me.

Billy: Wonderful.

Kyle: I’m going to lunch. I know what you’re trying to do, distract me with stupid business ideas. Thanks.

Billy: You’re welcome.

Nikki: Ah, it’s what you didn’t do. Now, I know you have a soft spot for Diane and I will never understand why, but the way you refused to rush to her rescue at Phyllis’s memorial, trust me, we all got the message, loud and clear. If the best attorney in genoa city thinks she’s guilty and won’t go near her with a 10-foot pole, well…

Michael: Well, yeah. Well, have a seat, please. Nikki, our constitution assures all citizens are innocent until proven otherwise, even the ones who don’t measure up or haven’t earned your seal of approval.

Michael: Your faith in my decency is humbling. I’ll do my best to live up to it. Have a good meal.

Victor: Have a good day, Michael.

Sally: I’m embarrassed to say I hadn’t even thought of that.

Adam: I’m surprised.

Sally: Right?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: But now that you mention it, I mean, how can I resist? Our baby can’t wear clothes off the rack, right?

Adam: No! Never.

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

Nick: Well, I don’t know about dad, but I’m definitely not here to see you.

Adam: Oh, well maybe you’re here to dangle some fresh new company in front of me, only to yank it away again just for fun.
Victor: Surprised to see you here, son. Especially with that lady.

Sally: Adam and I just ran into each other.

Adam: That’s right. I, uh, I insinuated myself into sally’s private tea time. You know how pushy I can be and she was too nice to ask me to leave, but I will not keep her any longer. She’s all yours.

Sharon: Where are Tessa and the baby? You know I’m dying to see her.

Mariah: Oh. You thought you were gonna see the baby tonight? At this hour? No, no, no. I sent Tessa and the baby to the tack house. That’s okay, right?

Sharon: You are teasing me, right? Stop, where are they? Are they waiting outside? ‘Cause I’ll go out there and get them myself.

Mariah: No, no, no, no, no. Hold your horses. I will text her to come in. I just wanted to come in first to make sure the place was warm enough and, you know, there wasn’t anybody with any strong perfume, or nobody was, like, hacking up a lung. I know, I sound ridiculous. It’s a little embarrassing.

Sharon: No, no, it’s perfectly normal. You sound like a first-time parent. But now that you see none of those horrors are going on in here, bring her in here. Hurry up! I can’t wait to meet her.

Mariah: Well, there’s, uh– there’s no need. Ta-da.

Tessa: Hey, Sharon.

Sharon: Hi, Tessa. Finally. Oh, my gosh. Aw.

Mariah: Well, here she is. Meet Aria Porter Copeland.

Sharon: She is perfect. She’s absolutely perfect.

Tessa: Isn’t it crazy how pink her lips are? They’re so perfect.

Mariah: It’s the cheeks that get me.

Tessa: The cheeks, I know.

Mariah: The cheeks, they’re just so round. There are times, I wonder…

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

Nick: I know I’m not the most observant guy in the world, but even I could see the smudge of lipstick on Nate’s neck. What about the button you missed there? And what in the hell is going on with your hair? Is that the way you normally wear it?

Victoria: Fine. You got me.

Nick: You think?

Victoria: Look, why are you freaking out about this? When you have other things that you should be concerned about. Why are you not focusing on your family right now?

Nick: You are my family. I care about you. You’re making a terrible mistake.

Victoria: Well, there you go again, making another leap without any evidence to back it up.

Nick: He is in a relationship, Vic, with my friend.

Victoria: Yeah, yeah, I know. And you– you have a saintly past, free of guilt. Right, nick?

Nick: Well, he’s an executive here. He could have some ulterior motive. Maybe, uh, looking for some personal gain.

Victoria: What gain? That’s not Nate. That’s not who he is. Look, if he was up to something, I would know it anyway.

Nick: Oh, like you saw everything that was going down with Ashley?
Victoria: That was a completely different situation, and don’t you ever mention his name to me again. Do you understand?

Nick: [Sighs] Yes. Sorry. But this could be more of the same, you know?

Victoria: I’m not interested in your opinions or your judgment. I’m just not. I– I… you yourself had a relationship with the ceo of newman media, remember? And you– you firmly told me to stat out of it
And I have been nothing– nothing but respectful of your relationship with Sally.

Nick: Yes. And I appreciate it.

Victoria: So, would you please show me the same courtesy? You told me to keep quiet about her pregnancy and that adam is the father and I have done that. So, please, do the same for me. Keep my private life private. Do you understand, Nicholas? Now, if that’s everything, I– I have some things that I need to finish.

Nick: Start by brushing your hair.

Abby: Do you believe all this stuff? I mean, this is insane. I am insane. My stuff, it’s grown exponentially. All my clothes, all of my shoes and don’t even get me started started on Dominic’s things. This is what happens when you have two of everything. One for when he’s with me, one for when he’s with you. I mean, uh, what are we gonna do? We need more storage? Do I need to rent another place downstairs for extra storage?

Devon: Hang on. Shh. Get your breath, okay? Welcome to your home.
Abby: Aw.

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

Daniel: Um, I think that’s maybe my cue to speak. You know my mother, um, I don’t really know if I could sum mom up in mere words. A friend of mine once described her to me as fierce. I would definitely say that that is an understatement. You know how when you’re a kid, you think that your mom is the most beautiful person in the world. That’s how I saw her. That’s how I’ll always see her. You know, this is, um… just paint and paper. Um, it resembles her. But my mom, she… she was an adventure. I mean, she crackled, she dazzled.

[ Chuckling ]

She was unpredictable– you know, at the center of all of that there– there was this intense, just laser focused love. And it was that intensity that touched everything that she did, for better or for worse. I need to tell you, sometimes it was really hard to– to watch her just waste that brilliance. That sheer power that she had on the wrong things because she was that amazing. She really was and she shouldn’t be gone. No, I mean, not yet. Yeah, even in this, um, horrible, senseless death, I feel like she’s still trying to teach me. You know, she’s trying to teach me how to love better and to fight harder for and I feel like she’s trying to teach me how to protect the ones that you love and care about the most with everything that you’ve got. I just wish I could have learned those lessons while she was still alive. And I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I didn’t understand. I’m sorry that we fought. I’m sorry that I spent so much time away from you and I’m sorry that I won’t get any more time with you. I love you, mom. I always will. Why give your family just any eggs

Nick: Why don’t you, uh, grab a table and I’ll order?

Sally: Okay, yeah. Sounds good. Summer, I’m– I’m really sorry about your mom. I mean, what a terrible shock. I can’t even imagine what you must be feeling. If you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to ask, and feel free to give me a job at the memorial. I would really like to be useful in some way.

Summer: To be honest, Sally, it never occurred to me that you would come to the memorial, when you so clearly don’t belong. You know we’re mourning my mother. Do you really think that she would want you there? Especially now that you’ve glommed onto my father. I hate that he is still with you when you’re pregnant with Adam’s baby. That is who you should be with. Adam. Because the two of you deserve each other. So, please just stay far, far away.

Nick: Hey, the, uh, barista had a question about your order.

Sally: Yeah.

Nick: What are you doing?

Summer: Everybody’s been telling me to stop being so stoic, so I was just sharing how I felt. You don’t seem to like that either.

Nick: Look, if you need someone to take something out on, I am right here. I mean that. Whatever I can do to help. Is there any part of the service I can take off your hands?

*********””*********************

Sally: First, some ground rules.

Adam: Oh. Should I, uh, take some notes?

Sally: I don’t want to talk about Nick and me. Or you and me. And anything too serious is off limits. I really need less stress in my life right now.

Adam: What about babies? Parenthood? I mean, I could let you in on some of my trade secrets.

Sally: Please do. ‘Cause I could use some. When I think about all that I don’t know, it scares the crap out of me.

Adam: [Chuckles] Well, you and everyone else who is new to this. I mean look, even if you’ve read every book there is on this, when the kid arrives, it still throws you. Plus, every kid is different. So, whatever you’ve read or you’ve heard or you have planned to do, I mean, within the first few months it’s– gets thrown completely out the window.

Sally: So, learn to roll with the punches?

Adam: Mm. Exactly.

Sally: Mm. Well, that’s actually my forte.

Adam: Look, everyone’s a beginner. They just learn on the job. And eventually, the kid is gonna get older, and then you will become an expert on potty training, nighttime routines, discipline, homework, carpooling. You will not realize how boring your conversations have become, but how fascinating you still think they are.

Victoria: Hey. What are you doing here? I thought you’d be spending the day with Summer.

Nick: I mean, that was my plan but every time I try and talk to her or offer to help with the service, she just tells me to back off and says she’s got it handled.

Victoria: Well, imagine that. The daughter of two unstoppable powerhouses, and… the granddaughter of an unmovable force wanting to take on the world herself.

Nick: What do you think I should do?

Victoria: Maybe don’t hover so much. Just give her a little space and make sure that you keep an eye on her, though, in case she’s taking on too much.

Nick: Yeah. She could also just be going all in as like a coping mechanism.

Victoria: Which is why you’re also at work today, I assume.
Nick: That’s part of it.

Victoria: Well, you know that your boss is not going to fire you for taking bereavement leave.

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

Devon: Yeah. Want a drink?
[Chuckles]

Tucker: What’s this?

Devon: It’s apple juice.

Tucker: I see.

Devon: It’s Dominic’s favorite.

Tucker: Okay. Is it a good vintage?

Devon: I think so. Check the year

Ashley: Wow, how sweet. You’re actually taking a break from fawning all over Diane to show compassion for somebody else.

Jack: I don’t know why you’d be surprised. My heart goes out to anyone who cared about Phyllis. She was a big part of my life, a big part of this family’s life.

Ashley: Yeah. Seems to me though, you’ve forgotten about all the people you say you care about ever since you got back involved with Diane.

Jack: That is not true, Ash.

Ashley: I think it is, Jack. I almost expected to find you down here consoling her because your big engagement news got overshadowed by Phyllis’s dying.

Jack: It is amazing to me even at a time like this, my own sister can’t set aside her vitriol for the woman I love.

Ashley: Oh, God.

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

Ashley: You brought Diane into our company, then into our home, and now you wanna make her a member of our family. When is it enough? When is the damage that she’s caused to all of us enough?

Jack: I am not having this conversation.

Ashley: Let’s just be honest, Jack. After all the stress and anxiety that Diane caused Phyllis all these months, is it really just a coincidence? You announce your engagement to Diane and Phyllis collapses and then dies?

Jack: You have no evidence of that. That is speculation.

Ashley: I don’t have to speculate about all the misery that she’s brought to us because I have personally lived it. And now, you’re willing to turn your back on everyone and everything that you say you care about and you still wanna marry her.

Jack: That is enough.

Ashley: It’s not enough because I can’t get through to you and nobody can get through to you. I’m worried for you. I’m worried that you’re gonna suffer the same consequences of being involved with Diane that Phyllis did.

Jack: Take your lies and get the hell out of here, stark. Phyllis, the woman you claim to have married, was just take
out in an ambulance, and all you can seem to do is stand here and throw around accusations.

Jeremy: I’m not claiming anything, Jack. I have a marriage license here, dated three days ago.

Michael: Excuse me. Looks like Phyllis is Mrs. Jeremy Stark.

Jack: Wait, that’s — that’s ridiculous. Why would Phyllis marry a known criminal? This is insane.

Jeremy: You want to know why she married me? You, Diane, and many of the fine, upstanding citizens of genoa city has pushed Phyllis to a new low. You pushed us to find each other.

Jack: Wow, you are a piece of work. You know that? You got a lot of nerve taking advantage of Phyllis’ condition. What the hell is wrong with you?

Jeremy: You don’t like that I’m married to Phyllis? Too bad. It’s your fault. All of you! Especially you.

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

Ashley: Marry you?

[Laughs]

Tucker: That’s not the reaction I was hoping for.

Ashley: You can’t be serious. Oh, come on.

Tucker: No, to me, it seems like the next natural step for us.

Ashley: Oh, of course! We went out on a date, and the natural next step would be to plan a wedding. Sure.

Tucker: Well, it wouldn’t have to be a fancy wedding. We could elope.
Ashley: Right. Yeah. No. See, I think what happened to you is that Jack announced his engagement to Diane, and it went to your — your brain. You’re temporarily insane. Thank you. But, no, I will not marry you.
