All My Children Transcript Monday 2/16/04

Greenlee: Kendall's engagement ring. Only two people could've dropped this rock in here before they sealed me in with that one -- Kendall or Ryan. It's got to be Kendall. A total drama queen -- doom me to a slow death while I think about what I did and why I deserve it. No. No, Kendall would've screamed at me first and kicked dirt on my head. It couldn't be Ryan. He couldn't hate me this much. Who am I kidding? Please tell me you didn't do this, Ryan. Please tell me you don't hate me enough to bury me alive. Ryan? Ryan? Ryan, come back for me! You hear me? You can't forget me! I won't let you! I won't! Please. Ryan, please don't forget me.

Ryan: What the hell?

Greenlee: What about you? I haven't forgotten you. Are we still together?

Ryan: Greenlee? Where the hell did that come from?

Jack: Ok, Greenlee, I have left messages for you at every number I have for you. Please, where are you? I'm starting to worry. Will you please call me?

Reggie: Hey, J, where you going, man?

Jack: I'm going to look for your sister.

Reggie: Oh, oh. Why can't you just give it a couple hours or a week, a month? How about the never side of later?

Jack: Reggie, she's my daughter the way you're my son, and if you had been incommunicado for this long, I'd be looking for you.

Reggie: Yeah, and she'd be right there to stop you, look, to make sure I stayed away. Greenlee needs to be punished for what she did.

Jack: Maybe. But I love her and I'm not going to let her down.

Reggie: Well, look, that skank will let everybody down she knows.

Jack: Including herself, Reggie. Including herself. And right now she needs to know that she's not alone. That's what fathers do. Remember that when you're one, ok?

Reggie: You know, you're lucky. You're lucky at least one of your kids is mature and handsome and sensitive and all that good stuff.

Jack: Come here. Yeah, I'm lucky. I'm lucky all my kids are great. But one of my kids could use your special brand of TLC right now.

Reggie: Oh, don't think I'm about to go look for Greenlee.

Jack: No, no, I'm not --

Reggie: No way. No.

Jack: Listen to me, will you? I'm talking about Bianca. You need to know what's happened.

Man's voice: No deal. No deal. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.

Kendall: No.

Man's voice: Guilty, guilty --

Kendall: No. No. No, Erica, no!

Bianca: Kendall? Kendall, Kendall, wake up! Kendall!

Kendall: What -- what happened? Is the baby ok? Are you ok?

Bianca: No, I'm fine, I'm fine. Kendall, you were having a nightmare or something. You were shouting Mom's name. You were really upset. What happened? Did you see her?

Kendall: Yeah. Last night.

Bianca: Well, what did she say? Was she ok?

Kendall: I wish I knew. I've seen all shades of Erica, but I've never seen her like that.

Erica: Tad, it's Erica. You promised to keep me posted on your investigation. I'm waiting for your call.

Michael: Do you really want to put Tad on the scent, Erica?

Erica: You.

Michael: I mean, think about it, doll, I mean, all kinds of nasty things could've happened during your blackout. I mean, do you really want the down-and-dirty on what you did the night my life was so tragically cut short?

Erica: Get out of here!

Michael: Just when it's getting interesting? I don't think so. I think I'm going to stick around. So you really want to let Tad gumshoe this, Erica?

Erica: My daughter could be facing the death penalty. I will do everything in my power to make sure she is not convicted.

Michael: Even if it means finding dirt underneath your own fingernails? Or should I say blood, Erica?

Erica: Tad will dig up the dirt on everything.

Michael: "Everything"? Well, why don't you just call it as it is, Erica? It was the night I was whacked, plugged, wasted, knocked off, bumped off.

Erica: Enough!

Michael: You know, Erica, if I were you, I'd call off the private eye, you know, just let everything play out as it lays. I mean, after all, we're only talking about Kendall here. She's not exactly Mommy�s darling little girl, is she?

Erica: Kendall is as much my daughter as Bianca is.

Michael: Yeah, but she's the one you'd throw back if you could. I mean, why not just let her, you know, go down for this?

Erica: She's innocent.

Michael: So who cares? I mean, Kendall will finally make herself useful. She'll take the fall for this, asked and answered, case closed, and nobody will be the wiser. Come on.

Erica: Except the real killer.

Michael: Who obviously wishes to remain anonymous. A word of advice, Erica -- give it up.

Erica: You're so damn clever. You were there. Who killed you?

Michael: Oh, my God, you do care.

Erica: Like hell. I want to know who did it so I can thank them.

Michael: Oh, you know, I miss you so damn much! You're so spunky, so feisty. Oh, Erica. Hmm. Oh, yes. This is where it almost happened. You remember that? I mean, it seems like almost yesterday that you and I were just sitting on this couch together, and then Kendall had to go and spoil everything. That is one of my greatest disappointments. I mean, you were just so strong, so forceful, and you were such a tease -- and you almost got away with it, you little vixen, until you let me catch you.

Erica: I never let you do anything.

Michael: Oh, and then when I did catch you, Erica, oh, you smelled so good and so intoxicating. Do you know that I never wanted anyone as much as I wanted you that night? Not -- not Kendall, not Bianca --

Erica: Stop it! Stop it!

Michael: And you wanted me as much as I wanted you.

Erica: Oh, never!

Michael: Come on, Erica, don't deny it. I mean, it excited you, didn't it, when I held you close. You were trembling with passion.

Erica: I hated you! I wanted to kill you!

Michael: Did you? Did you kill me?

Tad: Man, why do I bother?

[Noise]

[Dog barks]

Tad: Hey. You all right? You come here often? What's the matter? Can't you talk?

Woman: Of course I can talk. I just don't like to.

Tad: So the mime makeup and --

Woman: People don't expect answers, they don't ask stupid questions.

Tad: Ok, I'm sorry. I won't ask you any stupid questions.

Woman: Doubt it.

Tad: Wait, where you going? I want to just talk to you for a second, if I may. You want some coffee?

Woman: Hey, are you poaching?

Tad: What?

Woman: No, this is my territory. Everybody knows that. The smart ones, anyway. So why don't you just beat it!

Tad: It's all right. It's ok. Listen, if that's what you think I'm doing, I'm not trying to stake any kind of claim.

Woman: You're not the first. This is primo terra. A bunch of folks here live on takeout, and not the cheap stuff. Just last week, I tucked in a roast chicken, wasn't missing nothing but a leg.

Tad: Last week? You're here every day?

Woman: Every night like clockwork. Got to if you want to beat the critters to the food. Besides, if I don't get here between 11:30 and 1:00 a.m., Gus-Gus steals me blind. Hey, you didn't hit my Dumpster, did you?

Tad: You're sure you're here every night?

Woman: You don't catch on real quick, do you?

Tad: Wait, wait, were you here the night of August 28?

Woman: Well, got to eat. Where else would I be?

Tad: Lady, you just saved a lot more than a one-legged chicken.

Kendall: Erica was so quiet and so -- she was so in control. She was -- she was really trying to understand.

Bianca: But do you think she did understand?

Kendall: No, no. Bianca, no, I think it's -- how could she? It's too early. It's too much for her to absorb.

Bianca: But she wasn't angry?

Kendall: No, she -- she actually said that she admired me.

Bianca: Kendall, that's wonderful. That means that there's hope.

Kendall: Yeah, maybe. But, well, she did say that she was really glad that you and I are close. And then she said the most amazing thing.

Bianca: What? What, Kendall, what? What was it?

Kendall: Well, when I told her that I planned to accept the prosecution's offer --

Bianca: No, Kendall, you can't do that. Please tell me that you're not planning to do that.

Kendall: Yes, that's exactly what Erica said. That's what she said. She said that. She made me promise not to accept the plea.

Bianca: Well, she's right. If you won't listen to me, listen to Mom.

Kendall: Yeah, but, Bianca, there's more, there's more. Listen, she swore that she could save me. She swore that there no way in hell she would ever let me get convicted. Do you know how she can do that? I mean, I promised her -- I promised her that I wouldn't take the plea, but what if she didn't mean what she said? Or what if she did mean it and she can't follow through? I mean, if -- if what Erica has isn't real, I might be letting my own mother walk me to the death chamber.

Kendall: Bianca? Do you know something? Do you know what Mom's going to do?

Michael: The cold shoulder, after all we've shared?

Erica: I want you gone for good.

Michael: Oh, I'm sorry, I can't do good.

Erica: Haven't you brought us enough grief? Why don't you just go back to hell and stay there?

Michael: Erica, is that any way to talk to the father of your daughter's baby?

Erica: Don't you even mention my daughter's name.

Michael: I'm sorry -- mother-to-be. So, how is the little lass, anyway? Is she having any cravings? Besides me, of course.

Erica: My God. Oh, God, help me. I want this to be over. I want to be finished with rape and the rapists!

Michael: Yeah, you're going to have to live with me for the rest of your life, Erica. I mean, just think, every time that you look at Bianca's squalling little brat, you'll see me, Mikey Jr.

[Michael laughs]

Michael: I mean, you are going to name him after me, aren't you? I mean, you know, he does have quite the legacy, after all.

Erica: That baby is another of your victims.

Michael: He's my flesh and blood. He's going to walk like me, talk like me. The little lad's going to be quite the lady's man, just like his old man.

Erica: No, that baby is nothing like you. That baby is innocent.

Michael: Until proven Cambias. No doubt about that, is there?

Erica: It doesn't matter. We'll survive you, because we are stronger than you ever were. We are stronger than the hurt and the shame and the suffering!

Michael: Well, why don't you just say it like you mean it, Erica?

Erica: You're dead, Michael! You're nothing but a memory! And you're fading fast!

[Erica gasps]

Michael: Then why are still talking to me, Erica? Face it, you're stuck with me and my little rug rat.

Erica: Oh, you will be gone. This will end, I promise you. And when it does, you will be gone forever.

Michael: Really? When's that? When Martin finds gold in all that dirt he's been digging through? You'd better keep your fingers crossed, Erica, because if it turns out that you pulled the plug, you will be spending a lot more time with me than you think. Like it or not, doll, we're lifers. See you around.

Bianca: If Mom says she can get you acquitted, she knows what she's talking about. You have to trust her.

Kendall: Yeah, I want to, but Mom is spinning all over the place. I can't read her like I used to. And if I don't know it's going to turn out ok, how can I trust her?

Bianca: So you want the guarantee first?

Kendall: Well, yeah, I can't just go leaping off the edge of a cliff just because someone says they'll be there to save me.

Bianca: Is that what you told Ryan?

Kendall: That subject is off-limits.

Bianca: Come on, Kendall, don't shut down on me. Give.

Kendall: Ryan -- Bianca -- Bianca, this subject is not worth talking about.

Bianca: Are you nuts? Tell me what happened.

Kendall: Does that answer your question?

Bianca: Oh, Kendall, please tell me you didn't. You blew off Ryan?

Kendall: I had to. I can't trust him.

Bianca: Are you kidding me? He has been nothing but supportive of us since day one.

Kendall: No, Ryan completely blew us of when he couldn't stay away from Greenlee.

Bianca: Come on, Kendall, you know that Ryan had nothing to do with that.

Kendall: No, I don't.

Bianca: Don't do this, Kendall. Don't do this. Don't push Ryan away. You can't.

[Monitor accelerates]

Kendall: No, Bianca, relax. You need to relax. Your heartbeat is going crazy.

Bianca: Oh, you know what, the only heart in this room that I'm concerned about is yours. Kendall, you can't dump Ryan for this. He doesn't love Greenlee, he loves you.

Greenlee: Hello? Help! Anybody there? This has got to be a sign. It has to be. I just have to figure out what it is. If I've got the ring, Kendall doesn't -- ow -- then Kendall's got Ryan, and I don't. Please tell me they didn't bury me alive in here together. Is that what this means? A postnuptial whup-ass to teach me a lesson? No. No. Unless -- unless -- ow. Ow. If Ryan threw the ring, that means no Kendall, no engagement. Is that what this is? Ryan, you finally saw the light? You mind shining it some my way? Our connection's too deep just to turn off. I know I screwed up, Ryan, but I'll make it up to you, I swear. Just think about me. Miss me. Look for me.

[Ryan mumbles]

Ryan: Ah! Ok, no more caffeine.

Ryan: Damn it, Greenlee, just -- just stay out of my life. Just get out of my head! Get out! I don't want to see your face, I don't want to hear your voice, not even in my -- my nightmares.

[Knock on door]

Ryan: Oh, God, please, do not be Greenlee. Jackson. Whatever it is, I can't help you.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Is Greenlee here?

Ryan: What, now all of a sudden you're worried about her?

Jack: Spare me, will you? Have you seen her?

Ryan: Never again, if I'm lucky.

Jack: Well, that's harsh, isn't it?

Ryan: After what she did to Kendall and to Bianca, she's lucky I didn't throw her over my knee. But then again, that's your job, isn't it?

Jack: Greenlee made a mistake, there's no doubt about that.

Ryan: A mistake? She gutted any chance Kendall had to walk away from this murder charge.

Jack: Well, I'm well aware of what she did, but she's my daughter and she just might need me, Ryan.

Ryan: It's a little late to hop on that train, don't you think?

Jack: Oh, who the hell are you to judge me? You know what, you helped force her into that scene. If you hadn't been playing master of the universe, we might have avoided this whole disaster!

Ryan: Oh, and now we're resorting to finger pointing? That's very productive, Jackson.

Jack: Hey, I'm just trying to pick up the pieces, Ryan!

Ryan: And pin it on me? You want to blame somebody, Jackson? Why don't you look in the mirror? Because Greenlee would never have exposed Kendall if you hadn't been such a jerk.

Jack: Greenlee knows I love her. Greenlee knows that she can come to me about anything.

Ryan: Yeah, if she waits in line, absolutely.

Jack: What the hell is that supposed to mean now?

Ryan: It means that you offered her the one thing that she wants more than anything else, Jackson -- a family that will be there for her -- and the first sign of trouble, you snatch it away.

Jack: What the hell do you know about this? That was not my intention.

Ryan: You ran off to hold Kendall's hand and left Greenlee feeling alone and invisible again. Way to go, Dad.

Jack: All right, I let Greenlee down. But so have a lot of other people.

Ryan: I know that I did, too, Jackson, but I tried. I tried to wave her off of Kendall.

Jack: Who the hell are you kidding? You waved a red flag in front of a bull!

Ryan: Ok, listen to me, you may be the only person that can get through to Greenlee. Do you understand that? She needs her father, and not just when it's convenient.

Jack: Now you listen to me, I love my daughter and I will take care of her, and unlike her friends, who seem to be through with her, I'm just getting started.

Ryan: What's the hurry, Jackson? Kendall flash the bat signal?

Jack: As a matter of fact, we're meeting with her attorney. We're trying to clean up this mess, you know, this pesky little death penalty. If you hear from Greenlee, sport, you have her call me.

Ryan: Yeah.

[Door closes]

Ryan: Greenlee's probably a thousand miles away from here, crying into a pitcher of margaritas.

[Greenlee groans]

Kendall: Good, it's normal again. Don't scare me like that.

Bianca: Kendall, what are you doing? You can't shed Ryan because you think he sicced Greenlee on you.

Kendall: That's exactly what he did, a word here, a nudge there.

Bianca: Oh, come on. Things spun out of control. It wasn't Ryan's fault.

Kendall: Yeah, it's not like this is a first. How many times has Ryan left me hanging?

Bianca: How many times has he come back?

Kendall: You know, your problem is that you trust too much.

Bianca: Kendall, you don't trust enough.

Kendall: Well, I have better things to do than to look for trust in all the wrong places.

Bianca: Kendall, don't do this. Don't shut Ryan out.

Kendall: Ok, how about I find Dr. Cortez? We'll see if we can get you sprung out of here. That's -- that is next thing we're going to do, get you out of this place. Ok.

[Kendall sighs]

Kendall: Now, I will be right back.

Bianca: The courtyard.

Erica: Tad.

Tad: Feel lucky?

Erica: Oh, Tad, I've been trying to reach you. Have you found out anything?

Tad: Well, that all depends. We can call this thing off right now or you can choose what's behind door number one.

Erica: You found someone who saw something?

Tad: A woman. I meant what I said. If we take this thing to round two, you could very easily lose everything.

Erica: Tad, I have to hear what she has to say. Please bring her in.

Tad: Ok. It's ok. Erica, this is Prilly. It's short for "Priscilla."

Erica: How do you do, Prilly?

Prilly: Been better.

Erica: Like to sit down?

Prilly: I'll stand.

Tad: Prilly was outside Michael's condo the night he departed Pine Valley. She got a real eyeful.

Prilly: I can speak for myself.

Erica: Please, please, Prilly, tell me everything you saw. I really need to know.

Prilly: Oh. Shrimp bisque. Still warm.

Erica: I beg your pardon?

Tad: Erica, Prilly -- Prilly works the Dumpsters in the area.

Erica: So you remember what you had for dinner that night?

Prilly: Cuisine that fine don't come along every day.

Tad: Why don't you tell Erica what time you ate?

Prilly: Near on 11:45, I'd say.

Erica: How is it that you're so sure of the time?

Prilly: Church bells across the way. They ring on the quarter. I hadn't hardly started to eat when I heard footsteps and I -- and I saw this lady heading for the rich guy's door -- the rich guy who ended up dead.

Tad: How tall was the lady you saw?

Prilly: Hard to say. I was in a Dumpster looking out, and it was dark.

Erica: Could -- could you try to remember, because it's really important.

Prilly: Now that I think of it, she could've been about your size.

Erica: Well, can't you tell me everything you saw? Please, Prilly, I need to hear every detail.

Prilly: I saw a lady, classy clothes, dark hair. I couldn't tell if it was long or short, just -- just dark. She had her collar turned up. I couldn't see her face. She knew right where she was going. It's just like she didn't want to go there. She headed for the dead man's door -- except he was alive then -- and knocked, kind of soft, like -- like she didn't want anybody else to hear but the man inside. Except it was too soft because she had to knock again. Then, when the door opened, the man kind of laughed.

Michael: Well, what do you know.

Prilly: The lady went inside. I ate my bisque. I didn't think too much about it. Until --

Michael: What are you going to do about it?

Prilly: Then they got into it. The man started yelling. Next thing I know, just after midnight, I guess, bam!

[Gunshot]

Prilly: After that, it was real quiet -- extra quiet, like time stopped. I ducked into the Dumpster. When I looked up again, the lady was high-tailing it out of there. She ran like she was running for her life.

[Monitor accelerates]

Kendall: Bianca, what's wrong? Are you ok? Your heart is going crazy.

Bianca: I'm going to be fine.

Kendall: You ok?

Bianca: I'm coming to court with you today.

Kendall: No, no.

Bianca: Yes.

Kendall: No, no, no, you're not going anywhere. You're staying right here.

Bianca: Kendall, I'm not going to let you face this alone. And besides, Mom's going to be there.

Kendall: No, no --

Bianca: She'll need me.

Kendall: Listen to me, Bianca, listen to me, I'm sorry, but the doctor said no to your release. You have to stay. Just stay here. You may as well just get comfortable, ok? Please don't worry. Don't worry, ok? Mom -- Mom will be there, Jackson will be there, and they'll help me deal with everything, ok? I'll do what I can. Deal?

Bianca: All right.

Kendall: Ok. Oh, goody gumdrops. Yay, you're here, just in time to entertain this one. All right. I got to go, ok? All right. Hey, will you take care of her for me, please?

Reggie: Sure.

Kendall: Ok, good. And no matter what, just stay with her.

Reggie: I don't know why you would want that, but, yeah, you got it.

Kendall: Ok. Thanks. Bye.

Reggie: I love you so much.

Bianca: Oh, Reggie. I love you.

Reggie: And J told me everything. You sure you're ok?

Bianca: Yeah. Yeah, I am. Looks like you're going to be an uncle.

Reggie: Well --

Bianca: Sort of, kind of.

Reggie: The more family, the better.

Bianca: Hey, you want to meet your niece?

Reggie: Say what?

Bianca: I mean, I'm not 100% sure it's a girl, but feels like she is. Oh, hey, did you feel that?

Reggie: She moved!

Bianca: Uh-huh. She's just showing off.

Reggie: Oh, so she does that a lot?

Bianca: No, she only does it for the people that she's going to love.

Reggie: Bianca, I wish I'd known about her, you know, earlier. I could've did something to help, you know -- bring you pickles and ice cream and stuff like that.

Bianca: Well, there is something that you could do for me.

Reggie: Anything. Name it.

Bianca: I'm really worried about Mom. Have you seen her?

Erica: Prilly, the woman you saw -- was I the woman who ran from the condo?

Prilly: Sure could've been you. All the same, seems a shame, though.

Erica: What?

Prilly: That gun went off, pretty near killed my appetite. Left the bisque for someone else.

Tad: Prilly, is there anything else?

Prilly: Isn't that enough?

Erica: Yes, yes. Yes, it is. And I thank you. I thank you very much.

Prilly: Sure looked like you.

Tad: Prilly, look, I -- I'm going to give you something for your trouble.

Prilly: No, save your charity for someone who needs it.

Tad: It's not charity. You did me a favor and I'm doing you one. You get yourself some more bisque, ok? Can't say I didn't warn you.

Erica: My God, Tad. If I really did shoot Michael Cambias, what now?

Tad: Before you turn yourself in, all she did was narrow down the suspect pool, and not by much. And she's the only witness, so you're still in the clear.

Erica: But, Tad, if no one else saw me anyplace else, I probably was in the courtyard. I probably did kill Michael Cambias.

Jack: So, what's Kendall's status?

Livia: You're not going to like it.

Jack: I take it that means bad news?

Livia: It's worse. Judge Lampert is tired of having her courtroom turned into the big top. She is not in the mood to do us any favors. She wants this fast-tracked to the jury.

Jack: Even with new evidence?

Livia: Apparently.

Jack: Oh.

Livia: I've had some challenging cases, but I have never bet against myself in my entire career until today.

Jack: Livia, we have to see this through. Look, it could go our way. Just because Kendall faked a pregnancy does not mean she killed Michael Cambias.

Livia: Did you see the jurors' face when she was exposed?

Jack: Yes.

Livia: You want to take those odds?

Jack: I don't see that we have a choice. If the jury does convict, we can appeal.

Livia: That is another crapshoot. I am not willing to bet my life or Kendall's on that. Our only sure thing is if she takes the plea.

Jack: Come on, 10 years? That's a really long time.

Livia: Consider the alternative.

[Knock on door]

Jack: Hi.

Kendall: Hi. I'm sorry I'm late. I was with Bianca. Thanks.

Jack: How's she doing?

Kendall: Oh, she's amazing, as usual. What'd I miss, a bad lawyer joke?

Livia: I want to discuss your options.

Kendall: Well, thank you, but I've already made my decision. I am not going to take the plea bargain.

Livia: Are you on self-destruct?

Kendall: Well, I've come this far. I want to see it through to the end.

Livia: The end could be your own. This is insanity.

Kendall: Well, that's not a defense. See? I do learn.

Livia: Not enough. If you think you have a shot in hell of winning --

Kendall: I'm going to take my chances.

Jack: Livia, would you excuse us for just a second, please?

Livia: Only if you're going to try and talk some sense into her.

Jack: Have some more coffee. Just for a second, ok? Come over here.

Kendall: Jackson, don't try to talk me out of this. I have Erica on my side.

Jack: What does Erica have to do with this?

Kendall: I don't know, beats the hell out of me, but she swore that she could keep me from getting convicted.

Jack: She said that?

Kendall: Yeah. She also made me promise not to accept the plea bargain.

Jack: Why would she say a thing like that?

Kendall: I don't know. I have no idea. I mean, Bianca's just as clueless.

Jack: When did this conversation take place?

Kendall: It happened last night at her office.

Jack: Oh, brother.

Kendall: I figured that you would know something about it since you're engaged, pillow talk and all. Wait, Jack, hello? Where you going? Jackson!

Tad: I think we should put on the brakes for a minute before you start confessing to a crime you didn't commit. All Prilly saw was a woman, she heard a shot, that's it.

Erica: During the period that I blacked out.

Tad: But you could very easily have been at BJ's or the Valley Inn.

Erica: But then someone would have seen me.

Tad: Exactly. And if they did, I'll find them. I promise you, I'm going to go through every nook and cranny between your place and Michael's. If somebody so much as saw you sneeze, I will find them.

Erica: Thank you, Tad. Thank you very much.

Tad: Try to take it easy, ok? I'll call you as soon as I have anything.

Reggie: Well, you sure can keep a secret.

Bianca: Well, I had a lot of help.

Reggie: Yeah, like Dr. Haywire. You know, you must've been really desperate, that's what it is.

Bianca: Well, you know, I had to trust David, and he really came through for me.

Reggie: Yeah, well, I could've, too -- come through for you, that is.

Bianca: I wanted to tell you, Reggie, I really did. And I would have, but things got so messed up and I didn't want you tangled up in all the lies. You've already done so much for me.

Reggie: Well, it could've been more, you know? Like tie Greenlee to the back of a rocket and send her to the moon or something like that.

Bianca: What, and ruin a perfectly good moon?

Reggie: Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. I -- I bought it for the baby. I'm not sure if she's going to like it or not, but --

Bianca: Are you kidding me? She is going to love it! And you. Thank you, Reggie.

Reggie: Well, we're family. There's anything you need me to do, consider it done, and then some.

Bianca: Give me a hug.

Ryan: Am I interrupting?

Bianca: Oh, no, come in.

Reggie: Um -- yeah. I'm going to get you two something to eat besides all this hospital junk. You know, it's not good for you.

Bianca: Thank you, Reggie. I appreciate it.

Ryan: Thanks, man.

Reggie: All right.

Ryan: How you feeling?

Bianca: Much better. From what I heard, you're the one who could use some intensive care.

Ryan: I'll be fine. And you will be better than fine because I've got something for you -- actually, I should say something for your baby.

Livia: You sure you want to pass up the plea and go with this?

Kendall: Yes, I am.

Livia: Do you know what you're facing?

Kendall: A firing squad? It's a little gallows humor. Lighten up.

Livia: You'll be cross-examined again.

Kendall: Yeah, I've been there.

Livia: Not like this you haven't. You will have to sell yourself like you've never sold anything before.

Kendall: It would help if my own attorney believed me.

Livia: Honey, I am not the one who has to decide whether you live or die.

Kendall: No, you forget "or go free," because I will.

Livia: I don't mean to put a dent in your confidence, but on cross you're going to have to serve up the whole truth and not just the parts you like best.

Kendall: I know what I'm doing.

Livia: Do you? Because one wrong move, one wrong word and you could incriminate yourself or someone you care about.

Kendall: Well, thank you for the pep talk.

[Livia sighs]

Livia: Well, I really hope you think long and hard before you go through this.

Jack: Erica? Where the hell are you?

Greenlee: This is unacceptable. I refuse to be forgotten. I'm not going to curl up and die like this. Ryan? Ryan, if you'd just concentrate, I know that you could hear me. I've got so much to say to you, and Kendall and Bianca. I can't do that. I can't do that unless I get out of here first. So wherever you are, Ryan, you've got to tune me in, because this is my last chance.

Bianca: Well, I can't wait to hear what it is, but first, can you just grab that glass of water for me?

Ryan: Yeah, sure.

Greenlee: Ryan? What's wrong? Why you looking at me like that? Does this mean we're over?

Bianca: What? Ryan, what is it?

Ryan: Greenlee?

>> On the next "All My Children" --

Greenlee: I'm getting out of here! I'm on my way out!

Edmund: What are the chances that I'll walk again?

Bianca: Ryan, I don't want this. Take it back.

Jack: "To Whom It May Concern"? What have you done?
