Victor: I’m here to talk to Kyle about Harrison, alright? He’s part of the next generation of Newmans.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I have no doubt that you’re already planning the kid’s future. Are you hoping he’ll stick to the program better than I did?

Victor: For your information, he is being given the same opportunities that you were.

Adam: [Chuckles] So, he’ll succeed where i failed. Is that it?

Victor: Son, why does everything have to be an argument between us?

Adam: Look, I know that you hate that I am here at Jabot…

Victor: Uh-huh.

Adam: …Working for Jack.

Victor: Right.

Adam: And Kyle feels the same way. He would love it more than anything if I wasn’t here. I know you also believe Jack only gave me this job to stick it to you.

Victor: You’re correct about all the above. But I’ve often told you — and don’t ever forget it — that you are a very talented businessman.

Adam: And yet here you are. You’re gathering intelligence. Are you hoping to hear that I’m crashing and burning?

Victor: Son, what the hell are you doing here selling lipstick and makeup, for heaven’s sake? What’s the matter with you?

Adam: What are you trying to do? Are you trying to strong-arm Victoria into giving me some rinky-dink position so I can be under your thumb at Newman? It’s not gonna happen, okay?

Sharon: I’m sure there are all kinds of fields that you could explore. I mean, for instance, take all those quick, precision moves that you learned, you know, in the military. Just give them a little tweak, and soon you could be a — a dance instructor.

Chance: [Laughs]

Sharon: No, really!

Chance: Nice. That was nice. Good job.

Sharon: Or you know how you can drop from the ceiling on a wire? Cirque du Soleil would hire you in a heartbeat. And I can just see it now. You’d be juggling a ping-pong ball and a sledgehammer and a chainsaw.

Chance: Wow. Hmm. Would I have to wear sequins?

Sharon: Well, yeah. I mean, otherwise no one in the back would be able to see you.

Chance: No, that’s where i draw the line. I can’t do it. I can’t do it.

Sharon: That’s where you draw the line?

Chance: Yeah, no sequins for me.

[Sighs] Thank you.

Sharon: For what?

Chance: Making me laugh, distracting me. You are remarkably good at getting me out of my head.

Sharon: Well, I’m glad that you feel comfortable enough being silly with me.

Chance: Mm, it’s easy. It feels natural.

[Cellphone pings] Sorry. It’s Chicago PD. It’s about Stark’s arrest. I need to follow up on this. I, um… I wish I didn’t have to leave, though.

Sharon: Well, go. Take care of business. I’ll be here thinking about all the new career paths you can consider.

Chance: I cannot wait to hear what you come up with. See you.

Connor: Hey. What took you so long?

Johnny: Math. I thought I’d never finish my homework. Just wait until you get to my grade. The word problems feel like some kind of punishment.

Connor: When I get to be ancient like you, maybe you can teach me how to do them. Unless you’ve forgotten by then. I know how hard it is to remember things when you get to be old — like you.

Chelsea: [Chuckling] Ouch! Why don’t you both go get something to drink? Dinner’s on the way.

*********†*****************

Johnny: Pizza!

Billy: The name’s dad.

Connor: Hi, Billy.

Johnny: Hey, dad.

Billy: Hey. How are you, guinea pigs? Because that’s what you are today, okay? This is Abby’s new pizza from Society, and she wants our honest opinion.

Connor: Cool.

Billy: Okay, well, let’s get it while it’s hot.

Johnny: Mom, are you staying for dinner?

Connor: Of course she is. Who says no to pizza?

Victoria: I guess I-I could stay and have a slice.

Johnny: Yes

Sharon: More coffee?

Chance: [Sighs] You caught me. I was, uh, light-years away.

Sharon: Yeah, I’m thinking about adding “soul searching” to the menu.

Chance: [Chuckles] Well, if you start charging for that, you’re gonna have to add a double-shot to my tab.

Sharon: In all of that searching, have you come to any conclusions?

****************†”””””””””””””””

Jeremy: Well, all good things must come to an end.

Phyllis: Alrighty.

Jeremy: While you may have made my morning a bit more entertaining, I have some place more important to be.

Phyllis: Oh, with a woman who’s so terrified of you that she tried to get you to leave town because she was afraid you were gonna hurt her family?

Jeremy: Slight misunderstanding.

Phyllis: What do I have to say to you to get you to tell me what Diane is up to?

Jeremy: Don’t push it. I’m a better friend than an enemy. Trust me.

Lily: I’m really sorry.

Daniel: Thank you.

Lily: Thanks.

Daniel: For what?

Lily: Well, I said I didn’t feel like talking, and then i talked your ear off.

Daniel: Oh. Well, you know, it’s understandable. I mean, you got a lot on your mind. You and Devon, you and Billy, you and — I don’t know — somebody else.

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

Victor: I’ve got to tell you very honestly that it hurts me a great deal to realize that you’re going to such great lengths to cut your ties to your family.

Adam: Yes, I’m sure it’s very frustrating for you that I don’t just mindlessly fall in line like my siblings.

Victor: That’s putting it mildly.

Adam: Well, I’m sure that you’ll get over it. You usually do.

Victor: Listen to me. I hope that one day you won’t have the same situation with your son, Connor, when he grows up and tells you he wants nothing to do with you, he ices you out of his life. How would you feel about that?

Adam: [Clears throat] I think that sounds like a very far-fetched hypothetical.

Victor: No, son, no. That is how you’re treating me, son.

Adam: No, my relationship with Connor is much different than what you and I have.

Victor: This is what I —

Adam: I would never do what you’ve done to me.

Victor: This is what I said about my own father. He was a bastard who left his family destitute…so that I had to grow up in a damn orphanage. And I swore I would not treat my children that way.

Adam: I’m sure we come from a long line of men who wish that they were better fathers than their own.

Victor: I’m not getting through to you, am I, son? I seriously doubt our ancestors gave a damn about the subtleties of parenting.

Adam: And, what, you do?

Audra: That sounds like a threat.

Tucker: Consider it a promise…one I intend to keep.

Audra: You blew it with your son, not me.

Tucker: No, you had one job! One!

Audra: Look, I did my job to a T.

Tucker: Eh.

Audra: Devon wasn’t suspicious of me until he realized that we share the same stupid phone alert.

[Scoffs]

Tucker: What? What are you talking about?

Audra: I guess he didn’t share that part, okay? But this is why he asked if we were colluding against him. Now, why would he wonder about something that could have so easily been dismissed as a coincidence? Because from the moment that he heard that you showed up in town in that ludicrous helicopter, okay, like the attention-seeking narcissist you are, Devon wondered if his dear old dad had an agenda to take over his company. Speaks so well of your personal dynamic. Oh. Have I crossed a line? I’m doing you a favor speaking the truth. You could have reconnected with Devon without all the secrets and lies. But whenever you have to choose between honesty and manipulation, you always choose the latter. It makes you feel like the smartest guy in the room. Only this time, your son was smarter.

Tucker: And now he won’t return my calls. And he’s cut me off from my grandson. My relationship with him means more than any company ever could, and yet he won’t give me a chance to explain. I just want to work side by side with him. I don’t want to… I wasn’t trying to rob him of anything. I wanted — I wanted to build something with him. Just like I was trying to do with Ashley.

Audra: Did things go south there, as well?

Tucker: [Chuckles] Yeah. I guess you could it’s not my day.
Audra: That’s life. Do you want me to cower and beg for forgiveness? Too bad. I am as through with you as you are with me. So that’s not happening.

****”””*†***********

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Hey, Adam.

Adam: [Sighs] Something on your mind?

Kyle: Wow. Is that what passes for “hello” these days?

Adam: You know, if it’s all the same to you, I would really like to enjoy my drink in peace.

Kyle: Huh. You know, I think I know what this is about. You’re having trouble dealing with the fact sally chose the superior brother.
Adam: You know, I don’t recall you being a particularly big fan of Sally’s, and now you are glad she’s involved with your father-in-law instead of me. Hmm. I doubt summer shares your enthusiasm, so you might want to keep that one to yourself.

Kyle: As usual, you’ve twisted my words around. I was just making an observation.

Nick: Son, when are we gonna start meeting someplace a little more happening? Clearly, this place isn’t taking off the way you’d hoped.

Noah: Alright, well, maybe not for a happening guy like you, but I seem to be satisfying all my other patrons. You know, besides, this place is my life now. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Nick: I’m as content as you are.

Noah: Okay, I’m gonna ask you something. Fair warning — you might not want to answer it right now.

Nick: [Laughs] Well, now I’m curious. What’s up?

Noah: This whole sally thing. I’m interested to know how serious it is.

*********”*””””””””””””””””””””””””””

Nick: How serious is the Sally thing? I don’t know, man. How serious is the Allie thing?

Noah: She’s amazing. We love spending time together. We support one another, and i appreciate her more and more every day.

Nick: Same.

Noah: Ah, it’s just — it’s that type of love I could really be grateful for, especially after all the Audra stuff. Every day I wake up and I am excited to nourish our relationship and watch it grow.

Nick: [Chuckles] You sound like a self-help guru.

Noah: What can I say? It’s special. She offers support and stability, consistency. It’s just — it’s really nice.

Sharon: I brewed this pot especially for you.

Chance: Oh, wow. Thank you. What do I, uh — what do i detect, a hint of?Cardamom, peppercorns, clove, and cinnamon.

Chance: Oh, wow. That’s why it smells so incredible.

Sharon: Well, I was inspired to add a little spice after our first supper club dinner.

Chance: That was fun.

Sharon: Yeah. I even decided to do a little research and take a look at what other types of cuisines we might be tempted by.

Chance: Great minds.

Sharon: Oh. You too?

Chance: Yep, and I got one question for you. How far off the beaten path are you willing to go?

Sharon: That’s a really good question. Hmm. Let me think. I’d be willing to try anything and everything.

Chance: You serious?

Sharon: Yeah, absolutely. Life is short. You got to use all of your taste buds, live on the edge. No more solo dinner ruts.

Chance: Ah, well, alright. Bring on the world, then.

Sharon: Why don’t you try that Moroccan spiced coffee? It was the first time I ever made it, and I’m not sure how it turned out.

Chance: [Chuckles] Well, thank you. I appreciate the warning. Ooh, yeah. Not bad

*************””””*”” **********

Victor: Son, I’d watch your tone if I were you.

Adam: Okay, just spare me your advice.

Victor: It’s telling, though, isn’t it? Although you involve me as a villain in any of your stories, you always come crawling back when you need me, don’t you? And that time will come again soon. I promise you.

Adam: You really are insufferable. You know, with an ego as big as his, I’m shocked that there’s room enough for you at the table or enough oxygen for you to breathe. I’ve had enough.

Nikki: This is just what he does. I mean, he has some kind of turmoil going on in his life, and he tries to whip everybody up into a frenzy. Darling, you just need to find a way to let it roll off your back.

Victor: No, maybe I’ll try something else.

Nikki: Well, what else can you do?

Victor: Give him a wake-up call. He needs to hit rock bottom, experience a massive failure, before he realizes where he belongs. That boy’s getting out of line. And I’ve had it.

Diane: Good morning. You’re up and at it early.

Jeremy: Being incarcerated has given me a new appreciation for life. I don’t like to waste time.

Diane: Is that the tie I gave you all those years ago?

Jeremy: Mm. I’m flattered you remembered.

Diane: Ooh, I like your style, which is why I am carefully planning how to surprise you with my act of good faith.

Jeremy: Sounds like you’re enjoying your assignment.

Diane: Maybe a little. It’s been lovely being back in Genoa City playing
mother and grandmother, but I am a woman with wants and needs.

Jeremy: Hmm. Yes, you are. Please sit down and catch me up on this plan of yours. I am dying to know all the details

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

Jack: What kind of evidence did you find?

Ashley: Um, Jabot’s financial information.

Jack: Oh, geez.

Ashley: You know, the same reports that Diane was supposed to get for him.

Jack: Diane said that never took place. She never passed on any intel. He confirmed it.

Ashley: I don’t care, okay? They’re both pathological liars. Let’s just leave it there.

Jack: You okay?

Ashley: I’m fine.

Jack: I can’t help but wonder if a part of you wishes you were wrong about Tucker’s motives. I know the two of you have spent a lot of time together. Is it possible that in trying to win his trust, maybe he succeeded in winning back some of yours?

Ashley: I was always in control, Jack. I knew what I was doing, and I still do. You are the one that’s being fooled by a manipulative ex.

Jack: And there it is — the hostility toward Diane that colors your whole life.

Ashley: And you are colorblind

Daniel: And if anyone is giving you the vibes that you’re giving me right now, totally don’t hire them.

Phyllis: What vibes?

Daniel: Yeah, the vibes. No, you are lucky you already have this job. I mean, if this was an interview, it would be over by now. I mean, your lack of focus — it’s exactly what we don’t want.

Phyllis: What are you ta–

Daniel: No, we don’t want. You need to set the tone.

Phyllis: I’m setting the tone. I’m focused. I know what you want.

Daniel: Mm-hmm?

Phyllis: You want passion and loyalty and commitment. I mean, those are the things that I wanted when I was hiring. I know what you mean, okay? I get it. I’m glad you get it.

Daniel: Of course I get it.

Phyllis: Yeah. Too bad your sister doesn’t get it.

Daniel: What do you mean?

Phyllis: Your sister. She didn’t even fight to keep me at Marchetti. I mean, what kind of loyalty did she show to me, her own mother?

Daniel: [Exhales sharply] Look, mom, I am really sorry about whatever happened with you and Summer, but you need to move on. You need to move on to your new job with me. I mean, I am your boss.

[Chuckles]

Phyllis: I know that. Maybe my problem is I shouldn’t be working with my kids. That’s — [ Laughs ] That’s a joke.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, no, it’s not funny.

Phyllis: Oh.

Daniel: No. We’ve got a long road ahead, and I need you focused.

Phyllis: I’m very focused.

Daniel: Good. And, you know, maybe don’t make it so clear that I’m your second choice.

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: You had one of your mystical vibes that I was gonna barge in with a bottle of wine?

Tucker: Yeah. You’ve been on my mind, of course, so I think I manifested this.

Ashley: Oh, great. Listen. You know what? Diane has infected my entire family like a virus. It’s unbelievable. All the things that she’s done to Jack, she’s also managed to turn my brother into a sucker. Were you aware that she’s working at a division in Jabot? Did you know that? And not just that, but she’s at my house constantly, so there’s no escaping her. Diane is everywhere, and every day I wake up in a new, fresh Diane hell. There’s Diane again! There’s Diane again!

[Sighs]

Tucker: Yes. I’m sorry.

[Laughs] I… I’m sorry that you’re so upset. But I just have to tell you, for me, this is heavenly

Diane: Charming as ever. You always knew just what to say to make me feel beautiful.

Jeremy: Just stating the obvious. Sit.

Diane: Oh, and thoughtful, too. I see you’ve already ordered my favorite champagne.

Jeremy: Only the best for you.

Nick: Why don’t you let me take a look at it. I know Jill very well. I might be able to give you some insight on how to win her over.

Sally: Uh, no, no. Really, the drafts are not worth looking at, but I might take you up on your offer once we figure everything out. Did you really think that I was trying to blow you off?

Nick: Nah, I wouldn’t be here if I did. I was just thinking about you. A lot. I was just wondering how you’re doing. I’m hoping the stomach bug. Are you still feeling better?

Devon: I got you some coffee.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: You’re very welcome. I had the, uh, nanny take Dominic down to the kiddie gym so he can get his steps in for the day.

Abby: Oh, you should have woken me up. I love watching him play there. He loves that big green ball.

Devon: Yeah, he does.

********************†**************

Jack: Yes, she has a past. We all do. But since she’s gotten back to Genoa City, she has done nothing to you.

Ashley: That’s true, but only because she hasn’t been given the opportunity. If she found out she had leverage over me, she would not hesitate to use it.

Jack: That is absolutely absurd.

Ashley: Okay. Look, I am trying here, alright? I really am. And I’ve decided that i understand that you would want your son to reconnect with his mother.

Jack: Yes.

Ashley: Okay. I get that. But you have let Diane back into your life, Jack. And from what I saw right here last night, she’s in far too deep.

Jack: I don’t know what you think you saw, but it’s really none of your business. Whether you like it or not, Diane is part of this family.

Ashley: No, I don’t like it! And as far as I’m concerned, she’s not part of this family.

Jack: She is Kyle’s mother. She is Harrison’s grandmother.

Ashley: I know. I just can’t get the image out of my mind of your son as a little boy crying himself to sleep because he thought his mother was dead.

Jack: Diane has changed. Kyle has forgiven her. As far as I’m concerned, that makes her welcome in our home.

Ashley: I can’t forgive her. I can’t forgive her. Does that make me a bad person? I don’t think so. I don’t. Given the pain she’s caused this family, I think that viper deserves permanent exile from this house.

Jack: Wow. Isn’t it ironic that you, of all people, are opposed to a viper coming into this house?

Phyllis: Hey.

Ashley: I came as soon as i got your message. What’s going on?

Phyllis: Diane’s back.

Ashley: Ugh! And I was hoping we were finally rid of her.

Phyllis: Mnh. She never really ran, by the way. That was just to cover so Jeremy Stark would leave town looking for her. And the worst part for me is my own daughter blew me off for Christmas so she could spend it with Diane and her husband so he could, you know, live out his childhood dreams with his mom.

Ashley: I am so sorry. That must have been very painful.

Phyllis: I’m not done. There’s more. Ashley, my daughter has always confided in me. She’s always trusted me before Diane corrupted her. And my daughter let everybody in town think that I was the one who chased Diana out of town, when, really, there was — i don’t know — a Jabot-sponsored motorcade bringing her up to the Abbott cabin.

Chelsea: This is what you’re gonna do. You go to Lily, you bring her a ton of flowers or — or, um, you play her her favorite song on your phone — anything to help make her listen.

Billy: Stop, please. Okay? This is not about me spending too much time with you.

Chelsea: Are you sure about that?

Billy: I am sure about that. It’s actually the one thing we agree on. And I knew that’s what your assumption would be, which is why I didn’t want to bring it up in the first place. So can you please just get that out of your head?

Chelsea: [Sighs] So, what happened? Why would Lily want to call it quits?

Billy: Because of me. Because of who I am, you know? I’m self-centered and I’m restless, and it’s the same reason why I quit the podcast, ’cause I thought I needed to focus on my corporate gig. But that didn’t work either. I’m just constantly in need of the next best thing, the next — next thing that’s gonna give me a rush to make me feel alive. It’s — it’s, you know — it’s who I am. It’s my track record. I am less than an ideal long-term partner.

Chelsea: I’m not gonna let you talk like this. Tearing yourself down. There is so much more to you. There’s a reason Lily loves you so much, and you love her. You two are great together. Are you really willing to just give up?

Tucker: Well, you know I like to go big.

Jack: Well, thank you for sparing us the helicopter this time.

Tucker: Oh, well, my sleigh is out front.

[Laughing] Hope you don’t mind my dropping by. I got presents for everyone in the family.

Ashley: Aww, that’s very generous of you.

Jack: And quite unnecessary.

Tucker: I realize that.

Jack: Well, we don’t have anything for you under our tree.

Tucker: I wouldn’t expect that. Uh, no, I just got a little caught up in the spirit of the season, you know, the joy in giving and not receiving and all that.

Traci: Well, thank you so much, Tucker, for the gifts. If you had hoped to hand-deliver something to Dominic, I’m sorry — [Chuckles] I’m sorry, but they’ve already gone.

Tucker: Oh, no, that’s okay. I’m gonna see Dominic later at DeVon’s. Um, which means my day is free. And I was hoping maybe you would agree to have lunch with me? Although I don’t want to impose on any Abbott family time here.

Ashley: Not at all. I mean, well, we’re having a very quiet Christmas, so… yeah, I would actually really like to get out of the house. Let’s go. Bye, you guys.

Tucker: Okay. See ya. Merry Christmas.

Tucker: Should we break in?

Ashley: Oh, good idea. No. I think —

[Keys jangle] I think I’ve got a key. Abby gave it to me in case of an emergency, and I don’t think she’d mind if we use the kitchen if we promise to clean up.

Tucker: Aren’t you full of surprises.

Ashley: Yes. I keep you on your toes.

[Keys jangling]

Victoria: Yes, I did. From what I could tell, he did a fantastic job. You know when all the cousins get together, watch out.

Nick: After all the ice skating and snowball fights and the constant running around, by the time I got him home, he was talking to me — mid-sentence, he falls asleep.

Sally: It’s the holidays, and I’m feeling generous.

Adam: [Clears throat] So, remind me — which holiday did you celebrate while, um, the rest of us merrymakers were sipping our eggnog?

Victor: Hey, son. Good to see you. Have a seat. Gives me a chance to tell you how much I appreciated you and Connor coming by and spending time with us at Christmas.

Adam: Well, thank you for including us…

Victor: Yeah.

Adam: …And not being too overbearing with Chelsea and Connor.

Victor: [Chuckles] What? Your father overbearing? When the hell did that happen? And I promised you I’d behave, and I did, right

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

Billy: Yeah, I know life can feel like it’s moving a million miles a minute, but you seem to be doing great on the outside. Is that true?

Chelsea: Having a safe space has made everything more tolerable for me. I have to be honest with you. Christmas at the ranch was a bit overwhelming, though, with all the Newmans and Adam. It felt like a collision of all my problems at once. And Victoria was there with Katie and Johnny. Before you ask, everything went great. It was fine. You know, Johnny and Connor are inseparable these days, and it’s wonderful.

Billy: Yeah, I agree. It’s great. I’m really proud of those boys. But you do seem to be glossing over the elephant in the room. Victor. I’ve been telling everyone…

Chelsea: Victor tried to be on his best behavior, but it was still very clear that he doesn’t trust me. But Adam was there, and he was by my side and very supportive, kept checking in, making sure I was okay.

Billy: Well, Victor doesn’t trust anyone, so it sounds like your visit went par for the course. However, I am grateful that Adam was watching out for you.

Chelsea: You’re grateful to Adam. Well, this is a first.

Billy: Keep that down, please. Don’t tell anyone I said that. More importantly, it sounds like you held your own.

Chelsea: To be honest with you, the day was great. The night was not. I just started getting these nagging, racing thoughts. My therapist calls them a thought spiral. So, she gives me techniques to try to manage them.

Sharon: Thank you. You know, it’s been quiet around the house with Faith being away, but I know she is having the time of her life in Europe.

Noah: When did she get so old? I feel like just last week Faith was this little girl getting lost in the woods, needing to be rescued.

Nick: That’s what happens when you get older. Time moves very quickly.

Mariah: But seriously, when did she get so sophisticated? She’s like a jet-setter now.

Tessa: And by “sophisticated,” you mean more sophisticated than us?

Mariah: Yes. Yes. I would love to be skiing in the alps.

Tessa: Babe, you don’t ski.

Mariah: I would like to be doing something in the alps.

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

Mariah: Okay, I have to ask. How tough was it to get him to sleep tonight, on a scale of 1 to 10?

Nick: Christian’s a cakewalk compared to that dude.

Mariah: Wow!

Sharon: Oh, yeah, that is true. Noah, you were the worst.

Nick: The absolute worst. It took forever to get him to go to bed, and then at about 3:30, he’d come knocking on the door.

Tessa: 3:30?!

Nick: Yep. Some years I’d feel like I just got my head on the pillow, and he’d come in screaming and hollering, saying he was ready to open presents.

Mariah: So, how did you get Christian to sleep tonight?

Nick: Easy. Christian likes to know things. So, first we just kind of checked out, you know, online what reindeers prefer, oats to carrots.

Mariah: Mm.

Tessa: Carrots, obviously.

Noah: How is that obvious?

Nick: Well, you’ve done your own research. Then we checked out the Santa tracker. Christian realized Santa was still really far away, and he also knows that Santa doesn’t show up until he’s asleep, so he went right to bed.

Mariah: Well, hopefully he doesn’t wake up at 3:30 like his brother used to.

Nick: Oh, man, let’s hope. But as annoying as it was, it was also really fun. You know, it’s the joy of the holiday season. I’m sure Sharon can vouch for this, and you guys will all realize it someday, but there’s just nothing like seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child.

Nick: Thanks for meeting me. Sorry I could only fit in coffee today.

Sally: It’s no problem. I know it’s close to Christmas and you have a lot of family obligations.

Nick: Yeah, I got a lot going on. I’ll tell you, Christian is starting to ask me some pretty tough questions.

Sally: Uh-oh. Like, “what’s in the eggnog?” Or, “how do you make those little popcorn strings for the tree?” Actually, I want to know the answer to the eggnog question.

Nick: Egg yolk, milk, whipped cream, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. And then throw in some alcohol if you want the big-boy version.

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

Sally: You really are great at the whole dad thing. And your children obviously adore you.

Nick: Eh, it’s not always easy, but my kids are absolutely everything to me.: It’s Faith’s first Christmas away from the nest, isn’t it? How are you doing with that?

Nick: Miss her like crazy.

[Chuckles] But that’s the thing with parenting — you know, your job, if you do it well, is to send your kids out into the world, you know, help them be independent. And if they do that, success, sadly, is not having them around much.

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, I could see how that could be hard.

Nick: Yeah. I’m happy for Faith, you know? Getting to spend the holidays in the Swiss alps with her roommate is awesome for her. But it means I don’t get to have her here with me, and I hate that.

Sally: Yeah, it makes perfect sense.

Nick: You got to let them go, you know? And if you get lucky, they come back, you know, for a while. Noah’s proof of that.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, you have one son who runs his own nightclub and another one who keeps pressing you on the logistics of Santa’s mission. It’s a — it’s a pretty big age range.

Nick: Yeah. You calling me out for that?

[Both laugh]

Sally: No, no, not at all. I-I’m calling you versatile. A man who can pal around with his adult kids, raise his young ones, and knows the recipe for eggnog? Geez, man. Sign me up.

Nick: That’s a good save. I’ll take it. Each of my kids is an incredible gift. You know, being a parent is the best thing I’ll ever do. You know, I have to admit, I’ve never actually seen it up close, a parent who actually loves being a parent.

Tucker: Yeah, I did. I took a shower earlier, but in between, I grabbed a workout. The gym here is unbelievable. Have you seen it?

Ashley: No, I haven’t had the pleasure.

Tucker: Yeah, sometimes i take multiple showers in a day. Please don’t tell my, uh, water-conservationist friends.

Ashley: Yeah. Okay. Your secret is safe with me.

Tucker: You know what I love? You remembered that intimate detail from our conversation. Did it spark any memories?

Ashley: Of what?

Tucker: Uh, maybe you and me in the shower years ago?

Ashley: No.

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

Audra: You know, it’s not exactly in my job description to hide in bathrooms. But I guess neither is our “colleagues with benefits” arrangement.

Tucker: I appreciate your discretion. Thank you. So, uh, before we… you were talking about striking out on your own.

Audra: I was. But after seeing how you handled Ashley Abbott, maybe you’re not so far from, you know, achieving your personal goal, which means that you’re one step closer to getting what you want on the business front, too. Perhaps I underestimated you.

Tucker: Wouldn’t be the first time, would it? Hey. Stick with me. If you do, I promise you I’ll get you that reward you dese

Jack: You’ve accomplished quite a lot in your short time at Jabot.

Adam: Ohh. Come on. It — it was adequate.

Jack: Nah, this is no time to be modest.

Adam: I made a few simple decisions to streamline our processes. It’s not that big of a deal, Jack. You know, you don’t, uh, applaud the tenor for clearing his throat, do you?

Jack: [Chuckles] I suppose not. I take it that means you have bigger plans for 2023.

Adam: Um…I do. I do, and I look forward to sharing those with you soon. But I just… you know, as we begin this new year, I just — I want to thank you again for giving me this opportunity. You know, I was in a place in my life where I needed somebody to have faith in me, and you stepped up. I appreciate it.

Jack: It was a very easy decision to make.

Adam: [Chuckles] Well, now who’s being modest? I know the rest of your family was very strongly opposed to the decision.

Jack: All water under the bridge, Adam.

Adam: Well, you’re the only one I’ve heard from, so I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. Maybe all my haters are reserving judgment to wait to see how I do on the McTavish deal.

Jack: Oh, speaking of McTavish, there is a binder on my desk with hard copies of all the information you’re gonna need.

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

Sally: I would love that, but this bug made me fall behind on my work.

Chloe: It’s true. We are, you know — we’re — we’re just really busy. We’ve got a lot to catch up on, and I don’t want to point any fingers at who’s responsible, but…

Nick: What did I do?

Chloe Will you quit monopolizing my business partner’s time? Can you not tell how busy we are?

Nick: Okay, okay, I can take a hint.

Chloe: That wasn’t really a hint. I was just two seconds from telling you to get the hell out of here.

Nick: Really good at taking obvious hints. Got it. Um… maybe I’ll call you later.

Tucker: Sharon. Hey. I have been in here so many times since I moved back to town. How is it that I have not seen you?

Sharon: I guess I’ve just been lucky.

Tucker: [Laughs] I guess my coffee’s gonna come with a little spice today, is it?

Sharon: I’ve heard that you picked up right where you left off — crashing summer and Kyle’s vow renewal, circling all of the Genoa City businesses like a vulture.

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

Tucker: Ah, thank you. Yeah, uh, Ashley and I have been getting reacquainted.

[ Sniffs ] At first, she was as wary of me as you are, but I think I’m winning her over.

Sharon: And how on earth have you managed to do that?

Tucker: Uh, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve convinced her that I’m a changed man.

Sharon: Oh. Are you?

Tucker: [Chuckling] Yeah. I had a near-death experience recently, and, uh, it made me reevaluate my priorities. And so now I’m concentrating on those people who matter the most to me — Ashley, Devon, Dominic.

Sharon: Hmm. Somehow I just don’t find that completely plausible.

Tucker: Based on what?

Sharon: Well, a few years ago I got my degree in psychology, and I actually…

Tucker: Did you really?

Sharon: …Work as a therapist now. Yeah, and it’s given me very good insight into people.

Tucker: Analyze me. Come on. Let’s — let’s hear it. I think it’s gonna be challenging for you.

Sharon: I don’t think that you are as complicated as you think you are.

Tucker: Mm.

Sharon: You think you’re the smartest one around, and that’s why you believe that we’re all gonna buy what you’re selling.

Tucker: Well, my car crash is a matter of public record. You could just look that up yourself.

Sharon: Well, I don’t think you’re lying about that, but real, long-lasting change — that usually doesn’t come in an instant, from one traumatic experience. It takes work, Tucker.

Tucker: I’ve done the work. I spent a little time in an ashram.

Sharon: Ooh! Well, I bet that impressed Ashley.

Mariah: Hey, mom, is this the box you were looking for?

Sharon: Oh, yay! You found it! That is full of all my favorite holiday keepsakes.

Mariah: Uh, surely you can’t mean this old thing.

Sharon: Uh, yeah! Who wouldn’t love a holiday musical light-up tv?

Tessa: Ooh, that’s a favorite?

Sharon: Yeah!

Mariah: Mom, it’s so corny, and it only works, like, half the time.

Sharon: Okay, it is not Christmas unless that is prominently displayed somewhere for everyone to see.

Mariah: Uh, except it’s kind of an eyesore.

Sharon: No, don’t say that. Nick gave it to me when we spent our first Christmas together. And he meant it as a joke, and it always made me laugh.

Mariah: Well, that is just like him, making dad jokes before he was even a dad.

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

Chelsea: I know what you’re doing here. You came to check in on me.

Chloe: No. I mean, can’t a friend just want to hang out with her bestie?

Chelsea: And shouldn’t you be home with your family, getting ready to celebrate the holidays?

Chloe: Honestly, I just needed a moment away from Miles yanking the ornaments off of the tree. And Bella is still singing the song she did at her Christmas pageant.

Chelsea: Aww, that’s sweet.

Chloe: Yeah, the first thousand times. I love my daughter’s little angelical voice, but if I hear that song one more time, I swear I’m going… so, you would actually be doing me a favor in giving me a quiet sanctuary.

Chelsea: Well, then, by all means, come in.

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: To be honest with you, I’m taking a holiday from the holiday music, as well. So, let’s just sit back, relax, and enjoy Esther’s delicious pastry.

Ashley: Well, I’m not sure you’re gonna find that to be true in 10 minutes. I might not be that great of company today.

Tucker: Uh-oh. Rough morning?

Ashley: Yeah. Um, Kyle was really upset with me.

Tucker: Oh. What about?

Ashley: Jeremy Stark’s in town.

Tucker: Mm.

Ashley: Yeah. And Jack and Kyle both think that Diane’s in danger, and of course they blame me.

Tucker: Well, if you ask me about —

Ashley: You’re gonna say that she deserves everything she gets — right? — Because she brought it on herself.

Tucker: No. No. That’s actually not what I was gonna say.

Ashley: Oh, okay. What?

Tucker: [Laughs] Of all the people I know, you are one of the smartest and most capable and savviest. So please don’t take this the wrong way, but I believe you are in way over your head with this jeremy stark business. And I think it would be wise for you, moving forward, to um, distance yourself from nikki and Phyllis

**************************”***”

Ashley: I love it that you want me to let go of my anger when it’s actually your past actions that need letting go of.

Tucker: Mm. God. I love you. And that is what I love about us, that we are equally matched. ‘Cause you see me, right? But I see you, too. You know, when you ended things, I recall you saying to me, “love isn’t enough.” And looking back at those days, I understand why it wasn’t, I mean, considering what I did to you and — and where we were as people back then. But if time passes and people evolve and — and two people come to have a deeper understanding, a deeper connection with each other, isn’t that enough? I mean, at least as a foundation to grow on? Aren’t we both wiser now and have enough life experience to [Sighs] — To realize what we lost? ‘Cause I know you know how good itwas.

[Chuckles] Can you imagine how much better it would be now if we just gave us one more chance?
