(Parts of this got garbled...we've tried to fix it as best we can!)

Reggie: This isn't easy for Lily, all right? Lily, just tell everybody what J.R. said at the groundbreaking.

J.R.: You know what, I'll make this easy for everybody. I've never talked to this girl.

Lily: That's right, you've never talked to me.

J.R.: Then what is this all about?

Adam: All right, all right, let's go. Get out of my house, all of you.

Lily: You.

Adam: What, me? Are you saying I talked to you?

Lily: No. Blonde hair, fuzzy bottom lip, thin red tie. Red is a bad color. He talked to you.

Adam: Thank you for that contrition. Now, all of you, get out.

Reggie: Don't listen to him, all right? Don't pay any attention to him. Lily, just tell everybody what you saw.

Lily: I didn't see. I didn't want to look. The red tie made my thoughts jumble up. I only heard your voice.

Tad: What did you hear, Lily?

Lily: He said --

Jamie: Just wait, just until Babe gets back in here. She has to hear this.

J.R.: Hey, haven't you caused her enough pain?

Babe: What do you want me to hear?

Krystal: Rewind now. You are going to live in these tunnels like some dumb bat?

David: Like a concerned father. And you, as a concerned mother, are going to help me.

Krystal: Oh, yeah? Minding the shop for you? Having mail forwarded to Dr. David Hayward, secret passage way number four, Chandler Mansion?

David: I need you to cover me, Krystal. I can't sit at home in my cabin knowing that J.R. is trying to destroy Babe. Here I can keep my eye on everything.

Krystal: You clear out of here or I am going to scream this house down and Adam is going to call the police on you so fast --

David: Are you so determined to keep your head buried in the sand about J.R.? Well, then fine, go ahead and scream. You'd do it, wouldn't you?

[Krystal mumbles]

David: Ah, you listen to me -- if you do this, one peep, and I will scream the truth about Babe.

Bobby: Thank you for tearing up those divorce papers.

Anita: I remember how great we were, so intense and now we're back.

Bobby: I'm going keep it that way. I missed you more than I thought I could ever miss anyone.

[Phone rings]

Bobby: Ah, could be Zach. No, no. Ok.

Anita: No, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.

Bobby: All right.

Anita: No one can interrupt us for long.

Bobby: Hello.

Kendall: Hi, there. Was it good for you?

Bobby: What can I do for you?

Kendall: Well, you can enjoy another roll in the hay. I'm ready to make it worth your while

Bobby: You were supposed to leave that outside my room.

Kendall: What, $200,000 in cash? Don't be silly. I'm right downstairs in the bar. You hear that? Doesn't that sound yummy? It's just calling out your name, waiting for you.

Bobby: I don't appreciate this..

Kendall: Well, maybe Anita will get the joke. Put her on. I'll tell her how devoted you are. In order to pay your debts and keep your marriage together, you're willing to do another woman.

Bobby: We don't want to discuss this right now, ok?

Kendall: Okay, I'll be right up to break the ice, ok?

Bobby: I'll be right down.

Anita: Who is it?

Bobby: A client calling from downstairs. Some investment that I thought was settled.

Anita: And you have to go now?

Boy: Zach's counting on me for this. If I don't nail it --

Anita: No, do whatever it is you have to do.

Bobby: I'm not just doing this for me. I'm doing this for us.

Anita: No, I know, I know. Your job's important to me, too, Bobby. I want you to be happy.

Bobby: Okay.

Anita: Just don't take too long.

Bobby: Ok, I'll be as fast as I can, all right?

Anita: Another kiss like that, and I'll never let you go.

Bobby: God, I love you so much.

Anita: Hold that thought. And if you remember, strawberries --

Bobby: Dipped in chocolate. You got it.

Anita: Now, hurry up. You don't want to keep your client waiting, plus you don't want to get on Zach's bad side. I'll be here.

David: I'm not kidding! You hear me?

Krystal: Mm-hmmmm

David: You keep your mouth shut.

Krystal: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You crazy, low-down little.. you swore that you would keep Babe's secret and take it to your grave.

David: And meant it.

Krystal: Yeah, while it was easy, until you could use it.

David: I'm not going to let anybody hurt Babe -- not J.R. and not you, either.

Krystal: I would never, never hurt my baby-doll. Why can't you just accept the fact that Babe and J.R. are happy together? I mean, just because you hate the Chandlers more than you hate the Martins -- then you're taking Jamie's side instead of sticking by the man that Babe loves.

David: Babe's love is not the one in question here but does J.R. truly love her?

Krystal: Of course he does.

David: Really? We, from what I've seen and what I've heard, I beg to differ. And until I'm satisfied that he's not a direct threat to our daughter, I'm going to stay right here-- for her sake.

Krystal: I can't believe it. I lied to everybody and said that you were Babe's daddy just to shut you up. Now, this just happens to be true - -- I mean, that is just the cruelest cosmic payback ever.

David: Ah, well, you should be glad that it's true, because I'm the only one standing between Babe and her beloved husband.

Krystal: You're going to blow Babe out of the there, huh? You're going to rip her heart into confetti with this Bess business.

David: If you force me to.

Krystal: Are you on some sick power trip, Hayward?

David: All right, answer me this- what do you think J.R.'s going to do when he finds out that Bess isn't his baby? What do you think he's going to do? Forgive Babe or throw her out?

Krystal: Well, see, I don't know. Why don't you tell me, big daddy? You're suddenly the expert on love and relationships.

David: If J.R. dusts Babe now, it's going to do to her when he gives her an even bigger hit from whatever he's got planned.

Krystal: If he has something planned. That's a big, humongous "if."

David: Well, I don't think so, and I don't want to have to shock my daughter's heart back into beating again, thank you.

Krystal: You think I do? What if you're wrong, huh? What if you're wrong?? Oh, I know -- I know it doesn't happen very often, but there is always a first time. But what if J.R. does love my -- our little girl? You're going to drop a bomb like this and just completely blow her into kingdom come?

David: Hey, if J.R. shows any kind of concern for Babe's welfare, if he shows himself with any kind of love or tenderness whatsoever, I will never darken these musty passageways ever again. But my opinion? The second it's revealed that Bess doesn't have one single drop of Chandler DNA in her, J.R. is not going to waste one moment before he gets rid of Babe.

Babe: What's going on here?

J.R.: It's nothing you need to worry about.

Adam: I was about to call the police.

Babe: Why? What for J.R.?

Tad: To subvert free speech.

Adam: To rid my house of trespassers.

J.R.: Why don't you go upstairs. I don't want to see you upset.

Jamie: No no, you don't want her to hear the truth.

Reggie: Babe, can you take off your sweater, please?

Babe: My sweater? Why?

J.R.: No. No no, no, you don't come into my house and tell my wife what to do.

Reggie: Red confuses Lily! She'll never get it out unless Babe takes off her sweater.

Maggie: He's telling you the truth, ok? We're not jerking you around.

Adam: That does it.

Brooke: Lily seems like really sweet girl, so what are you so afraid of?

Tad: It's the truth, Adam, she suffers from Autistic Spectrum Disorder, so we are all just going to give her a minute.

Babe: I remember her.

Lily: I'm really sorry to hear your baby is dead.

Babe: We already talked.

Lily: 99 --

Reggie: Babe, the sweater, please.

Babe: Lily?

Lily: 98 --

Babe: Honey remember, I already told you my baby's ok.

Lily: 97, 96 --

Adam: This is a madhouse.

Maggie: Look, the color red just really freaks her out , ok?

Adam: Then she should leave.

Maggie: Please take off your sweater so Lily can tell you what J.R. said.

Babe: J.R., what's going on?

J.R.: I don't know! Who cares what she thinks she heard?

Reggie: You will, all right?

Lily: 89-

Reggie: Ditch the sweater.

J.R.: I don't know who this girl is or what her problems are, but she should not be here.

Reggie: So why don't you listen up for a second. This is Lily, my sister.

Lily: My name is Lily Montgomery.

Adam: Didn't Jack just get you out of an institution somewhere?

Tad: Easy, Adam.

Brooke: Lily, I know this is a little overwhelming and some people here don't know how to behave. Why don't you just tell us what J.R. said?

Adam: Why do I feel my son is on trial here and the only witness testifying against him is this unfortunate girl?

Lily: I'm very fortunate. I have a wonderful father, and recently I met my brother and sister.

Tad: It's okay Lily. It's not your fault. Adam suffers from a devil disorder. I don't see a judge and jury anywhere, and even if there were, what are you worried about? I thought Brooke's tape proved that you and J.R. are innocent, compassionate, perfect people. Go ahead, Reggie.

Reggie: Lily, there's a mystery, remember, and you can help solve it.

Lily: I'm a detective with a clue.

J.R.: It's like watching a puppet show.

Reggie: Hey, shut up, all right? You keep Lily's name out of your pathetic mouth!

J.R.: All I'm saying is it's rehearsed. You've coached her. How long did you work with her, Jamie?

Jamie: I didn't know any of this.

Maggie: He didn't. Lily told us.

J.R.: Yeah, right.

Reggie: So we came over here to try to tell you guys.

Tad: All right, all right, take it easy, take it easy, Lily? It's ok. We're all ready. Just take a deep breath and tell us what J.R. said to Adam.

Reggie: Lily, all right, don't be afraid, ok?

J.R.: You know, we got things to do. Work on the act. Come back next week.

Jamie: Babe has to hear this.

Adam: Hear what? The girl's mute.

J.R.: All that work for nothing.

Reggie: There wasn't any work. We didn't make this up.

Adam: Does Jack know that you're manipulating his daughter this way?

Maggie: You want to talk about manipulation, what about what your son is doing to Babe?

Adam: My son is trying to protect his wife from your friend Jamie, who drugged her.

Tad: Don't even start, Adam. Nobody here buys it.

Maggie: Lily knows the truth and wants to tell it.

Adam: Lily's stuffed with the lies you fed her.

Reggie: I didn't teach her anything.

Adam: Go on, Lily. Tell us. Tell the lie, repeat the lie, and you can go home.

Lily: I don't know how to lie!

Tad: How dare you talk about lies after that performance, that taped play that you and J.R. tried to get us to swallow.

J.R.: What's wrong with you? Why can't any of you believe that I want what's best for my wife and I love her? And good job by you, Jamie..

Lily: 47, 46, 45 --

Maggie: It's all right, Lily. Just calm down. It's just noise, right? They're being loud. I won't let anyone touch you.

Lily: 43, 42 --

Jamie: You're going to screw up, J.R., and when you do Babe's going to find out exactly what she married.

Adam: Show's over.

Maggie: Knock it off, Adam.

Adam: More precisely, it never started. This is private property.

Lily: 39, 38 --

Reggie: Lily, just tune him out, all right? It's nothing to be afraid of.

Lily: 37 --

Maggie: J.R. never had a chance with you as a father.

Lily: 36 --

Adam: I think it's admirable that you refuse to lie to protect this criminal.

Brooke: If you mean Jamie--

Lily: 33 - --

Adam: Well, that's the one who was arrested.

Lily: 32 --

Tad: Because you bought yourself a witness, and you're still pushing the envelope.

Reggie: Go on, Lily.

Lily: 30-

Reggie: It's okay, Lily, you're safe. Just tune them out. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Babe: She is terrified. She shouldn't have to do this.

Adam: They're her friends. They're the ones torturing the poor thing.

Jamie: Lily is not a thing.

Lily: 24 --

Brooke: For Gods sakes, Adam, show some compassion.

Tad: Just try to fake it.

Lily: 22 - --

Babe: Lily, it's okay, you don't have to be frightened of us.

Jamie: Maybe we should get rid of everyone but Babe.

Adam: Oh, no witnesses. How convenient.

Reggie: Please. Witnesses for what?

Adam: Jamie's already drugged Babe. Maybe you'd like to try --

Lily: 17, 16 --

Tad: What the hell are you trying to do, incite a riot?

Lily: 13, 12 --

J.R.: I said you leave her alone.

Brooke: Quiet for five minutes --

Maggie: Babe, stop letting --

Jamie: Don't go.

Reggie: Just count down from 10.

Tad: Just let her speak for five minutes.

Reggie: Five, four, three, t --

[All talking]

Reggie: Five, four, three, two, one

Lily: Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Bobby: We had a deal.

Kendall: What took you so long? Here, it's still chilled, nice and cold, ready to drink.

Bobby: Don't ever do that again.

Kendall: What, I shouldn't call you? But you seemed so anxious for the money.

Bobby: Did you make this deal just for your entertainment or do you get off pulling strings?

Kendall: Well, partially. But, see, the thing is I don't normally pay in advance, so that's why I had to see you before the money was delivered, just to make sure you live up to your end of the bargain.

Bobby: I told you I would.

Kendall: But will you follow through?

Bobby: I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee she'll go for it. I mean, Greenlee hardly knows me.

Kendall: Yeah, she's been living like a nun with Ryan. I mean, she's just been thinking about him, wanting him every second of every day, and nothing, no release. Greenlee is primed and ready. She'll jump at the chance to make it with you.

Bobby: You keep forgetting about love. Greenlee's in love with Ryan.

Kendall: No, see, she thinks she is, but you're going to fix that.

Bobby: I can't just walk in, throw her on a bed ---

Kendall: Oh, oh, I'm sure you'll finesse it.

Bobby: I have no idea what's going on in Greenlee's head, and if she is in love with Ryan, one guy making a pass at her is just not going to cut it.

Kendall: Do you want this money or not?

Bobby: I need it.

Kendall: Ok, then are you trying to break our deal?

Bobby: Even if it did succeed --

Kendall: Wait, you'll succeed. Ok you'll succeed, and then Ryan will see her for who she really is.

Bobby: This could take months -- months --- and what then, huh? You're not just going to automatically win. No one does.

Kendall: You'll have the money.

Bobby: Ok, why don't we just -- why don't we just forget this scheme, all right? You loan me the money, and I pay you back in a couple of week with interest.

Kendall: Wait, hold on, do I have "ATM" tattooed to my forehead? Ok -- if you want this, you're going to have to get it the old-fashioned way. You're going to have to earn it.

Bobby: God. You really are disgusting.

Kendall: Wow, that's great talk coming from a guy who I'm paying to sleep with a third party. See, I know what that makes me. What does that make you?

Bobby: Ok, I'm out of here. Deal's off.

Kendall: No, you agreed. Ok, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I seem a little insensitive.

Bobby: You get off on buying and bulling people. Find yourself another guy.

Kendall: No, I don't want to waste any more time. Speaking of which, there's somebody scary who wants cash from you tonight. Well, who else is going to fork over this kind of change for nothing?

Bobby: I'm betting Greenlee would, and she won't have to do it for nothing.

Kendall: Greenlee. Very interesting. When did that idea come to you?

Bobby: Well, our arrangement hinged on her, why not deal her in?

Kendall: You'd cut me out of the action? Well I'm hurt.

Bobby: Well, you could be when Greenlee finally finds out how far you'll go to break up her marriage.

Kendall: Oh. Greenlee already knows what I think of her little wedding charade to Ryan, so your non-news isn't worth a cent to her.

Bobby: Maybe. Maybe not. But it'll be a lot more satisfying turning you in.

Kendall: Ok. You want to call Greenlee, fine. Go right ahead. Just press that button. I want to watch.

Lily: Stop!

Reggie: Lily, all right, calm down, Lily!

Lily:: Stop, stop!

Reggie: You did ! They shut up! They stopped talking.

Maggie: Lily, everything's ok, all right, sweetie?

Reggie: Everything's going to be okay, all right?

Lily: Stop!

Reggie: All right, Lily.

Adam: Lily, Lily, you don't have to do anything.

Lily: Stop! Stop!

Adam: Just-

Lily: No! !

Reggie: No, no, don't touch her, all right you never touch her!

Adam: You saw that! She attacked me!

Reggie: Lily, wait!

Maggie and Jamie: Lily!!

Maggie: "Whatever else I have to do, I'm getting Babe out of my life. She's lost that baby." That sound familiar, J.R.? That's what Lily heard you tell your father at the groundbreaking.

Krystal: Why? Why would J.R. suddenly turn against Babe and start messing with her like that?

David: Why -- why are you fighting me so much on this?

Krystal: Because I don't believe it for one second.

David: Ah, well, maybe cause you don't want to believe it. All l right, look, just go with me here for a second, ok? What if J.R. really did drug Babe, why would he do it? And why would he drag Bess down to the ER and all the time mouth off that Babe would rather be out partying than taking care of her own daughter?

Krystal: That's your version of what went on at the hospital.

David: Because he's trying to get rid of Babe and hold on to Bess for himself.

Krystal: And what's your solution huh? Telling J.R. that Bess is really Bianca's?

David: No, that's not --

Krystal: Because no matter how much J.R. loves Bess, this will ruin his marriage and you know that. That's really what you're after. You want everybody to be as miserable as you are.

David: It doesn't have to be that way.

Krystal: Oh, yeah? What if you were J.R., huh? What if you were J.R. and somebody slapped you with that news flash? You would slip Babe a mickey so fast, it'd plant her six feet under.

David: And what if I tell J.R. that Babe didn't know anything about the babies being switched?

Krystal: And who are you going to crucify in her place? As if I have to ask.

David: I'll say that I did it, alone. I switched the DNA and I kept the secret to myself.

Krystal: Everybody would hate you. The whole town would hate you.

David: They already do.

Krystal: Not Bianca. But if she finds out that you kept her baby from her, she'll never forgive you.

David: No, she wouldn't. And she'd have every right not to. In fact, she should already hate me.

Krystal: You would really do that for Babe?

David: To keep my daughter safe, I would do much, much more.

Adam: This is a surreal conspiracy.

Jamie: Sounded like the truth to me.

Adam: That punk is Jamie's right-hand man. They were arrested together with a drug dealer. He'll do or say whatever you tell him to.

Jamie: Nobody controls Reggie.

Tad: He's a good kid. He was just trying to set the record straight.

Adam: Yeah, well, even poor Lily wouldn't lie for him, Reggie had to deliver the message himself.

Tad: Why don't you just shut the hell up! Stop making grand pronouncements like you know what the hell you're talking about!

J.R.: Oh, Jamie, I get that you hate me and you want Babe, but dragging Lily Montgomery into this? Man, that is just -- that's just so desperate and pathetic. It's just pathetic.

Tad: You mean like waving that sweater around? It's amazing that within a matter of four short minutes, you were able to forget Lily's aversion to the color red.

Jamie: Babe, I did not manipulate or coach Lily. Neither did Reggie or Maggie. Lily can't lie and Reggie wouldn't, so what Reggie says Lily told him? Believe it because that's exactly what J.R. said. He wants you out of his life.

Babe: Get out.

Jamie: What?

Babe: I said get out of our home. All of you, get out.

Tad: Babe, Jamie was just trying to help.

Babe: I know exactly what Jamie was trying to do, and it didn't work. All you ended up doing was torturing a little girl.

J.R.: It's all right, Babe. They're not worth it.

Babe: Did you hear me? You guys don't think I'll call the police? Because I will. And if you keep harassing me, I will so file a restraining order.

Jamie: Come on, Mom, Dad.

Adam: I'll make sure they all reach their cars safely. We don't want anybody sneaking back in through the tunnels.

J.R. Ugh. Gosh. What's it going to take to get Jamie off our back? Oh, thank you for standing up for me, though. I'm as sick of this as you are. Babe? You ok?

Babe: Yeah. I think so.

J.R.: Oh. Jamie's not going to stop. He's going to keep chipping away at us, keep bashing g --

Babe: Just let him. It doesn't even matter. I know who I married.

J.R.: You're amazing. It's only going to get tougher, though.

Babe: If Jamie or any of his friends -- Reggie, Maggie -- if they try to do this again, I'll -- I'll take them to court, I promise.

J.R.: I know, I know. You shouldn't have to put up with this.

Babe: It's not your fault. The fact for them to drag Lily Montgomery, of all people it's just sick.

J.R.: I know, I know it's insane. Babe, when you said you saw Lily, you had to tell her that Bess was fine. What was that all about? Why would she think that Bess wasn't fine?

Krystal: Maybe you do really care about Babe, but yanking that baby away from her is not the way to do this.

David: Listen to me - I am not trying to destroy Babe's life, I'm trying to save it.

Krystal: You want me to believe that J.R. wants to kill Babe?

David: That drug ended Babe in the ER, okay? I'm not saying that was J.R.'s ultimate goal here, but he has trained with the master, Krystal. Adam's philosophy -- why bother committing murder when you can make the person wish they were dead now? J.R. is going to take everything that matters from her. He's going to rip from her everything that she loves most. He's going to crush her, all so that he can have Bess himself and shut Babe out.

Krystal: Babe loves J.R., almost as much as she loves Bess, maybe even more. And she would have told him. She would have told him about Bess as soon as she learned the truth if she didn't think it would kill him. He is so devoted to her.

David: Yeah, right. You call that devotion?

Krystal: David, if you're telling the truth, if J.R. is only pretending to care about Babe, then that is a something that she will never be able to recover from.

David: You were the first one to know for certain that Bess wasn't Babe's. Why didn't you tell her?

Krystal: Because I love her.

David: Because you were afraid that it was going to destroy her. But then she found out. What happened?

Krystal: She survived, but ----

David: Right, so? So what if we find out that J.R. truly is as rotten as I believe he is, and say we don't tell her. She's only going to find out anyway at any moment, in a way that's going to be much worse.

Krystal: You're going to do whatever you damn well please, aren't you?

David: Because I have my own part in all this. Keeping this secret about Bess, I have helped J.R. and Babe stay together. If J.R. is the person that I believe he is, then I'm not only endangering Babe's life, but also Bianca's baby's, as well. So have to find out the truth, Krystal. I need to find out, but I can't do it without you. I need you. I need you to help me get the proof that we need. And then we could both sit down with Babe together and tell her. And that is going to save her from a lot more hurt. Or I can just drop this bombshell about Bess and let the bodies fall where they may.

Krystal: I'll help you.

Jamie: All right, let's get to it. What's our next move?

Tad: "Our"?

Jamie: Well, I need a strategy, a way to get to J.R.

Tad: Uh uh, no, no, no good that is. Now there's no more "our," there's no "we." You're officially out of the game.

Jamie: No no, I am not bailing on this. Babe and Bess need my help.

Brooke: Jamie, Babe doesn't want your help.

Jamie: That's not going to stop me.

Tad: Well, the police will. You show your face anywhere close enough for Adam to identify you, you will go back to prison.

Brooke: And then you're not going to be any help at all to Babe.

Tad: Jamie, wait, ok ok, just think about it. If you even try, all you're doing is giving Adam and J.R. more ammunition for your trial..

Jamie: It can't stop me from doing what I have to do.

Tad: Look a at this -- our son, the superhero. This is your fault. If he's an honest and upright citizen, it's nobody but yourself to blame for it.

Jamie: This is my battle. I have to fight it.

Tad: We're not suggesting you check your conscience at the door, James.

Brooke: You just can't risk any more legal hassles.

Tad: The next time, you have to be a lot smarter.

Jamie: Yeah, that what I'm saying.

Brooke: The next time?

Tad: Yeah, the next --

Brooke: Hello? Wait a minute. I thought we on the same page here.

Tad: Yeah, listen to Crusader Rabbit here. When you're out there working on a story, trying to save the world, do you ever listen to reason? When somebody threatened you with prison, did you ever stop?

Brooke: Oh, for --

Jamie: You did time for your sources.

Brooke: That was before you were born.

Jamie: Yeah, but you would do it again tomorrow for something you believed in.

Tad: Duh

Brooke: All right, all right. What is our strategy?

Jamie: Well, I can't keep up the full-frontal attacks. I've got to go stealth from now on.

Tad: Right.

Jamie: You guys are behind me on this? Even if it means --

Tad: Going after J.R. Yeah. It pains me to say it, but nobody fights dirtier than Chandler, and obviously J.R.'s --

Jamie: Adam, Jr.

Tad: Unfortunately in more ways than one. Right, Jamie?

Jamie: I have to play by their rules. And that means no rules at all. I have no choice. I've got to do it.

Kendall: Well, what are you waiting for? Call.

Bobby: I'm considering my options.

Kendall: Well, how long could that take? There are so few. When you talk to Greenlee and find out that she won't pay you for what she already knows, your $200,000 will be forfeited, and then you won't be able to pay back whatever's breathing down your back. And then -- oh, poor Anita. She'll find out that you're not the big, bad guy that you claim to be -- another lie.

Bobby: But you're wrong; if Greenlee does give me the money --

Kendall: She won't. Ok, Bobby? She won't. Now, you're about to screw up your life and Anita's. Now, you can either prove me right and press that button, or go back to plan A and sleep with Greenlee, and then everything is fine and we're home free. It's not that much of a risk, unless we get caught.

Anita: Why didn't you tell you were meeting Kendall?

Kendall: Well, you can blame me. I'm supposed to be a silent partner, but I just can't keep my big mouth shut. Champagne?

Anita: Oh, no, thank you.

Bobby: I'll -- I'll be right back up.

Kendall: No, join us, Anita, please. You'll be happy to know he can't shut up about you.

Anita: that's nice to hear.

Kendall: if Bobby will just agree to my terms, I'll return him right now.

Anita: Oh, don't rush because of me. The hospital paged. I have to go.

Bobby: You sure?

Anita: Yeah, there's a three-car pile on the highway. I got to go. I guess we both have to go.

Kendall: Oh. So then I'm not the only detour on your happy night.

Anita: No, no more detours for us.

Waiter: Mr. Warner?

Bobby: Thank you.

J.R.: Babe, how would Lily get it into her head that Bess isn't fine?

Babe: None of what Lily said is true. Reggie's just using her. Can we just please stop talking about Lily and the rest of them?

J.R.: Sure, sure, we can, honey.

Babe: Let's just put their trash out of our minds and relax.

J.R.: Yeah, if we still know how.

Babe: Does it go a little something like this?

J.R. You know, ordinarily, that would be all right. It's just I've just got a killer headache right now.

Babe: You just -- you just stay put and I'll go get you a miracle cure.

Krystal: Babe?

[Babe sighs]

Krystal: Honey, I hope you got the number off of the truck that ran you down. What --

Babe: Mama, Jamie won't let this stupid feud go and he's, like, recruiting more and more people to help him. I just keep seeing what it's doing to J.R.

Krystal: Oh, honey, what about what it's doing to you?

Babe: I'm fine. It's just lies and hateful words. You taught me how to let that just roll right off me when I was a little girl.

Krystal: Yeah, I guess J.R. never learned that.

Babe: It's different when it's his brother leading the attack. I don't know, but I hope he knows that they can never tear me away from him.

Krystal: You really love J.R., don't you?

Babe: Love doesn't even begin to describe it. I'd die for him, Mama.

Krystal: Hey, why -- why don't you and I go upstairs and have a little heart-to-heart, okay?

Babe: I have to go get something for J.R.'s headache, but don't you worry about me. I'll be just fine.

Reggie: Lily!

Maggie: Lily!

Reggie: Lily! Damn!!

Maggie: Any sign of her?

Reggie: Taking her to the Chandlers' was so stupid of me!

Maggie: Come on it's not your fault. You didn't know that she was going to freak out like that.

Reggie: I should have known she was going to freak out.

Maggie: Well, I mean, come on, she couldn't have gone far. We'll keep on looking.

Reggie: No, Maggie, you don't get it. She doesn't understand what's out there. Anything could just set her off and send her over the edge.

Maggie all right, all right, all right. I'm going to go this way, ok?

Reggie: Yeah, me, too.

Maggie: Lily!

Reggie: Lily!

Maggie: Lily, where are you?

Reggie: Lily!

Maggie: Lily!

Reggie: Lily!

[Heartbeat]

Anita: Good news, I hope?

Bobby: We have a deal.

Kendall: Very good news.

Anita: Well, I -- I'll call as soon as I'm free.

Bobby: All right, I'll have the strawberries waiting.

Anita: Just as long as you're waiting.

Bobby: Ok, I'm so sorry I had to desert you.

Anita: Well, it turned out to be mutual, but only temporary. We have the rest of our lives for strawberries and --

Kendall: Well, that couldn't have gone better. Now that she's seen us together, we have the perfect cover -- business. We can meet whenever we want to, and she'll totally understand. Or if you don't live up to your end of the deal, I can burst her bubble and tell her what the money is really for.

David: Hey.

Krystal: Yeah, as soon as Winnie leaves, I'll raid the fridge for you.

David: Thanks. Is something wrong?

Krystal: I just ran into Babe.

David: You didn't tell her about it, did you?

Krystal: No, I didn't say boo about you -- not that it would matter. I could tell her that congress was investigating J.R. And it wouldn't make a difference to her. She is so in love with him.

David: That's too bad.

Krystal: Stop it. If you tell her that J.R. -- what he's got in store for her and you prove it to her, even if we pick up the pieces, she is never, ever going to be the same again.

Tad: David Hayward was snooping around Adam's tunnels?

Brooke: Sounds about right.

Jamie: Yeah, why do you think I shot through the door back there? Hayward shoved me out.

Tad: Well, when he comes up from the netherworld for air, I've got to thank him.

Jamie: Hayward didn't do me any favors.

Brooke: Don't be so sure.

Jamie: You cannot be seriously taking his side.

Brooke: Isn't clear that we are on your side?

Tad: He's at least on Babe's side.

Brooke: And Bess'.

Tad: Jamie, think about it. David wants to snoop around Adam's house looking for more dirt on J.R., let him. If you tried, you'd just be making your rap sheet even longer.

Brooke: David can be our eyes and ears and keep you off the hot seat.

Tad: Never thought I'd see the day The Martins and Hayward would band together for a greater good.

Brooke: Who would have bought it?

Jamie: Do you guys even buy that?

Tad: Relax. If he wants to keep one eye on J.R., he can certainly protect Babe with the other.

Babe: Does your head feel better?

J.R.: Mm-hmm. You always make me feel better.

Babe: They just said such awful things.

J.R.: Hey. I thought we weren't going to talk about them.

Babe: I know, it's just that it makes me feel closer to you than ever. It's like all there lies are just bonding us even stronger.

J.R.: You mean it?

Babe: Nobody can tear me away from you. I meant every single word I said of that vow. Till death do us part. What do you say we go upstairs and go start making a little brother or sister for Bess?

J.R.: You read my mind.

[Heartbeat]

Reggie: Lily, where are you?

Lily: Reggie? I'm here.

Reggie: Lily, come on out! Stop hiding! Don't be scared! Lily?

Lily: Don't be scared.

Reggie: Lily! Where are you, Lily?

[Tires screech]

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

Jack: You know Lily can't handle it out there!

Erica: Lily, what are doing out here?

Lily: Stay away from me!
