Greta: Mm.
Jack: The sound, the smell, the sight -- yea, verily, even the taste of green and lovely cash. Ahh. No two bills exactly alike, each one precious in my sight. Aah!
Greta: Jack, Jack, come on. Wake up, Jack. Jack? Come on, wake up.
Jack: Hands off, baby! It's mine! Mine! All mine!
Brandon: Well, I, uh... Guess I don't need to ask who you're looking for.
Jennifer: Well, I'm just so afraid that Jack is going to pop out behind one of these plants. And what about you?
Brandon: Well, I have to admit it would be pretty awkward running into Samantha right now.
Jennifer: Yeah, I don't think it would be a lot of fun right now for her, either.
Brandon: Well, the coast looks clear now.
Jennifer: Yeah, but tomorrow, we're going to have to do this all over again.
Brandon: I got a better idea for tomorrow -- breakfast in bed.
Roman: So everybody in the bridal party will be checking out today, and once again, I am very, very sorry about that room.
Man: No problem, sir. You more than took care of the damages.
Roman: Did you already get that cleaned up?
Man: I didn't have the staff last night to take care of it, so I had it locked up, but my crew will get to work first thing.
Lucas: That's why we couldn't get back in there this morning.
Kate: Roman Brady -- if anyone can screw things up for us, it's him.
Lucas: We're not giving up, Mom -- we're not.
Kate: Of course we're not. I mean, if you were clever enough to get evidence of Sami's crimes on tape, no way we're going to leave it behind.
Lucas: Any more bright ideas?
Kate: One absolutely brilliant one.
Roman: All right, thank you very much.
Man: You're very welcome.
Kate: Captain Brady, if you and your nasty daughter think being left at the altar was a drag, you ain't seen nothing yet. Come on.
Sami: [Sobbing] Austin. Austin, no.
Marlena: Sami?
Sami: Austin, are you there?
Marlena: Honey? Honey? No, no, no, it's mama. Austin's not here.
Sami: Mom? I thought it was just a nightmare. I prayed that it was a nightmare, but it's not, is it? It all really happened. Oh, God, I remember. Mom, I saw them.
Marlena: You saw who, sweetie?
Sami: Austin and Nicole. They ran away together.
Philip: Yeah. Yeah, uh-huh. Okay, bye.
Nicole: Philip.
Philip: Hey, Nicole. Checking out?
Nicole: Just about to.
Philip: Yeah, Dad's jet is scheduled to leave at 3:00, so I better get my stuff together, too. I'll see you there.
Nicole: No, you won't. I won't be flying back with you and Victor.
Philip: Why? Did something happen? Hey, you're not wearing the ring my Dad gave you. He's not going to be too happy about that.
Victor: I have a job for you. Nicole Walker -- she's become a problem. I don't have to tell you what that means, do I?
Nicole: I never actually accepted Victor's proposal.
Philip: Oh.
Nicole: And without going into detail, certain things happened, and because of that, certain things are not going to happen -- namely, my marrying Victor.
Philip: Hmm.
Nicole: Are you surprised?
Philip: Yeah, actually, I am.
Nicole: But thrilled.
Philip: I-I've never lied to you, Nicole. I want my parents back together, so, yeah. Now that there's more of a chance of that, why wouldn't I be?
Nicole: Yeah, why wouldn't you?
Philip: But my Dad -- you know, that's another story. Victor Kiriakis is, uh...
Nicole: Used to getting what he wants.
Philip: Yeah. Not many people say no to him and live to tell about it.
Nicole: Ahem. Excuse me. There's something I have to take care of.
Victor: Yes, that's the way to do it. Surprise is the key. She mustn't see it coming. [Knock on door]
Victor: I'll be heading back today. I'll see you in Salem later on. Yeah, I'll talk to you soon.
Marlena: Sami, honey, you're confused and you're upset.
Sami: No, Mom, I know what I saw. Everything bad that's happened is all Nicole's fault. All of this time, she's been trying to steal Austin away from me, and she finally managed it.
Roman: How are you doing, sweetheart?
Sami: I'm feeling better, Daddy -- much better.
Roman: Really?
Sami: Yeah, because I know why. It's such a relief to know why.
Marlena: Sami thinks that Austin ran off with Nicole.
Sami: I don't think it, Mom. I know. I know what I saw.
Roman: Sami, look, I don't know what you think you saw, but the fact is that your mom and I brought you up here last night, put you to bed. We thought you were asleep, so we left. We came back an hour later to check on you, found you out in the hall, your clothes changed, you were very upset -- hysterical.
Marlena: My guess is you woke up and you panicked at being alone.
Sami: I had to go see our honeymoon suite. That's why you saw me in the hallway.
Marlena: Oh, Sami. Honey, honey, oh, gosh.
Sami: Mom, I just wanted to see the flowers and champagne and the bed that we would have shared our first night as husband and wife. But seeing all that and being there wasn't even the worst of it. I guess I was just crying so much, and I ran out of there, and I didn't care where I ended up, and I found myself in the lobby, and that's where I saw them -- Austin and Nicole.
Roman: What did you see, Sami?
Sami: I saw Austin trying to leave, and Nicole just grabbed him and kissed him, and when he finally broke free, she chased after him. That tramp has destroyed my wedding, stolen my groom, and now she's enjoying my honeymoon, and I know why -- because of Kate and Lucas. They put her up to this. They're the only ones who could have pulled it off.
Roman: Sami, come on.
Sami: No, that's it. This is Kate's last stand. I am going to make her pay. That's it. No matter what happens, I am going to get after her, and I am going to make her pay for all of it.
Roman: No, Sami, no.
Marlena: Sami.
Lucas: This is totally wacked.
Kate: Shh.
Lucas: It's never going to work, Mom.
Kate: You know something? Unless you have a better idea, just keep it zipped, okay?
Kate: Showtime.
Lucas: Wait, wait, wait a minute.
Kate: What?
Lucas: I want to make sure no one recognizes me. What do you think?
Kate: You're kidding, right?
Lucas: No, I'm not kidding. Just help me with the glue stick, will you?
Kate: Fine.
Lucas: Put it right there, two spots. Yeah. Perfect. And I got one for you, too.
Kate: Uh-huh.
Lucas: Just kidding. I'm kidding. Mom, you need more of a disguise. You don't even look like a cleaning lady.
Kate: You know something? I did pretty damn good slinging hash at the diner, didn't I?
Kate: Yo, guys, how's it going?
Man: Not bad. What's up?
Kate: Well, you got your new marching orders from the front desk. They want you to go to the health club, so get your butts up there, okay?
Man #2: That's cool.
Kate: Yeah, Benjy and I -- we'll clean these things up for you.
Lucas: Benjy?
Kate: That's my nickname for him. He's not too crazy about it.
Man: You two are new.
Kate: Yeah, we've been here a couple of days.
Man #2: Whatever. Let's go.
Lucas: Benjy?
Man: Hold it right there. We know what you're trying to pull.
Man #2: But you're not going to get away with it.
Brandon: Ahem. So... that remark I made earlier.
Jennifer: Could you pass the pepper, please?
Brandon: When are you going to get around to asking me what I meant by that?
Jennifer: Uh, by what? What -- what remark?
Brandon: All I was suggesting was that by ordering room service, we could save ourselves some time. You know, allow us to pack in more fun.
Jennifer: Oh. Well, that -- that sounds very practical.
Brandon: You sound disappointed. Did you, uh, think I meant something more?
Jennifer: Well, really, I just -- thank you. Just tell me, did -- did it ever once cross your mind last night to knock on the door separating our rooms to see what would happen?
Brandon: Once. More like a dozen times. How about you?
Jennifer: I, uh... I just had a lot of things going through my mind last night. You know, I had insomnia. I just kept waking up and thinking about all these weddings, and -- I guess Sami and Austin's wedding wasn't really a wedding because it never happened.
Brandon: But Colin and Elizabeth are probably off on their honeymoon by now.
Jennifer: Yeah. I'm sure they are.
Brandon: And you're cool with that?
Jennifer: Sure. Why not? Anyway, that's reality, you know? So what about you? How are you feeling about Sami?
Brandon: Well, I'm -- I'm guessing she probably had a pretty long night. Anyway, I'm trying not to fixate on Samantha -- her state of mind, how she's getting through all this... She's not my responsibility, you know? But my sister is, and I'm wondering how she's doing right now, so I better check in on her before she leaves. Do you mind?
Jennifer: No, no, not at all. You know, we'll -- we'll hook up later. It's fine.
Brandon: You know, I can't make any promises about whether or not I'll be knocking on any doors tonight, but I can promise we'll have a great time together.
Jennifer: And that is why I came here. I came here -- I came here to have fun with Brandon, and we will. I just need to stay far, far away from Jack Deveraux.
Jack: [Yawns] What time is it? Although who cares, right? This is Las Vegas, mon. No clocks, no schedules, just fun, fun, fun, topped off with a delicious dollop of fun. Did I wake you?
Greta: Jack, you're sleeping in the chair, not to mention you're clutching your briefcase, moaning, "it's mine, all mine."
Jack: Well, um, as for the sleeping in the chair part of your question, maybe I shouldn't be so blunt, but, frankly, I'm disappointed, princess. You see, I grew up holding princesses up on a pedestal, seeing even the lowly pea as a threat to their delicacy, but apparently, it ain't so, princess. 'T ain't so. Princesses hog the covers. They toss. They turn. They snore.
Greta: I do not snore.
Jack: Oh, really? What was this sound? [Imitates loud snore]
Greta: You are so full of it.
Jack: And the answer to part "B" of your question, I always clutch briefcases when traveling due to a rash of highly publicized hotel thefts that occurred at a very impressionable time in my youth. And as for muttering "mine, mine, all mine," I was probably having a recurrent dream where I'm sitting down to a lunch of hush puppies and pan dowdy when Tony Orlando and dawn suddenly appear, intent on stealing it away. Well, a therapist said it was probably deeply symbolic, but I thought better not ask symbolic of what.
Greta: Is it okay if I use the shower first?
Jack: That's it? That's all you've got to say?
Greta: Did you bring any shampoo? 'Cause the kind they have has conditioner in it, and I hate that.
Jack: Uh... Shampoo? No, no, sorry, no, no.
Greta: Okay. No big deal.
Jack: So who does all this money belong to, anyway? Well, as they say, possession is 9/10ths of the law.
Man: Well? What'd you find t?
Chauncey: No luck, boss. I checked at the desk, I talked to the pit bosses, the dealers. I say the name Jack Dever-ox. Nothing. Nobody ever heard of the guy.
Man: Somebody's got to know where he is, and as soon as that jerk shows his face, he's a dead man.
Jack: Ah. That 9/10ths thing is certainly a lovely concept. However... if this money belongs to someone else, then keeping it and spending it -- well, even if it is legal, it's certainly immoral and un-ethical, of course. And if that isn't enough to make me lose all respect for myself, just imagine how the honorable Jennifer would react to such a thing. Parting is such sweet sorrow. But no money in the world would measure up to the psychological and spiritual benefits of honesty, nobility... as ye sow, so shall you reap, Jack Deveraux. Ah, yes. And when you deliver this briefcase, you shall get your just and proper reward.
Victor: What do you want, Nicole?
Nicole: I thought I'd make sure you were all right.
Victor: No.
Nicole: No, you're not all right?
Victor: You didn't come here to check on me.
Nicole: Fine, I didn't.
Victor: The real reason? And hurry up. I have to finish packing.
Nicole: Austin brought up a proposal before he left -- very intriguing.
Victor: Not interested.
Nicole: This is business, not personal. I-It could be important, lucrative business.
Victor: Then we can discuss it in my office when we get back to Salem. Call Marie and make an appointment. Now, if you'll excuse me...
Nicole: Sure. You know, I'm heading home myself. I didn't know you were coming to Vegas, so I booked a commercial ticket round-trip.
Victor: Good luck. I hope the lines aren't too long. Nicole, wait.
Kate: Hey, look, what are we trying to pull? I mean, we're trying to clean this place up and get out.
Man: They warned us about you.
Man #2: Yeah, this is just like Olivia said -- bossy, good-looking, late 20s, early 30s.
Lucas: Yeah, right.
Kate: You know, there's some ladies, they're jealous, they don't like me much, but the men I work with -- they like me just fine. Right, Benjy?
Lucas: Oh, yeah, yeah. You're a real man's woman, all right.
Kate: But, you know, hey, it's all right. You don't want to go down there, it's fine with us. Benjy's been bugging me all week. He wants to go down to that health club. He wants to be chatting up those gorgeous chicks. You know, they're all bending and stretching and stretching and bending.
Man #2: Look, orders are orders, okay? So you stay. We'll go.
Kate: You sure?
Man: Yeah, no problem.
Kate: Okay.
Lucas: You are so good at this, it's scary.
Kate: Yeah, well, you stick with me, kid.
Lucas: Yeah, and what if they show up later asking for a date, huh?
Kate: Then we'll be history, and so will Sami if we find that tape, in a much broader sense, so come on. Let's start searching.
Sami: Let me go, Daddy! Let me go!
Marlena: Sami, no. No.
Sami: Kate and Lucas set me up, just like they tried to kill me.
Roman: Sami, you got to pull yourself together here.
Sami: Why bother? If I don't have Austin, I might as well be dead.
Marlena: Don't say that.
Sami: It's true.
Marlena: It's not true. It's not. You listen to me. You are entitled to feel angry and hurt and depressed, and any other emotion you want or need to feel, but you are still a loving and lovable human being, and I will never hear you say otherwise. Do you understand me?
Roman: Sami... you are not in this alone, okay? We are still here. We always will be here. But you have to start dealing with reality, and reality number one is Austin did not run off with Nicole.
Sami: I was there, Daddy.
Roman: I saw him leave the hotel alone.
Sami: Are you sure?
Roman: Yes. We ran into each other last night outside the hotel. He was upset. So was I.
Sami: Well, where is he? Where did he go?
Roman: He went to the airport.
Sami: Then he's home. I have to get back to Salem. I have to talk to him, make him understand.
Roman: Sami, Sami. He did not fly to Salem. He went to New York.
Sami: I don't believe you.
Roman: Listen, Sami, he also told me something -- something he wants me to pass on to you.
Sami: What? What did he say?
Roman: Sweetheart, this -- this is going to be very hard to hear, but he said that he doesn't want to see you, that it is done. It's over, and he never wants to talk about it ever again.
Jack: [Sighs] Come on, Jack, come on. Let's go. Forward march. Hup, two, three, four. That's more like it. Yes.
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt his name is my name, too and whenever we go out we can hear the people shout John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt na na na na na na na John --
Jennifer: Hello.
Jack: And how are you?
Jennifer: What are you up to?
Jack: Me? Me? Oh, I'm just out for my post-breakfast stroll. I do so enjoy the chance to mingle with my fellow citizens as they gather in this marvelous metropolis for business, pleasure, whatever. But you, you -- I mean, you must be a wreck after the wedding that didn't happen last night.
Jennifer: Oh, well, why would I be a wreck? I mean, I have no personal investment in their relationship. So, I mean, I'm not happy or unhappy about their demise. I am just here to enjoy my time in Vegas with Brandon.
Jack: Where is Mr. Muscle beach anyway? Oh, in the gym for his usual 6-hour workout? Don't bet on having such a blast here in Vegas, Jennifer, unless counting reps is your idea of a rip-roaring good time.
Jennifer: Oh, I'm already having a really good time.
Jack: No, you're not. You just think you so.
Jennifer: Oh, is that so?
Jack: That's so.
Jennifer: Oh, thank you for clarifying that for me. If you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to go have a good time playing slot machines, and you know what? You should do the same. But I would be careful if I were you, because losing money would not be a move in the right direction, let's face it.
Jack: Ahem. If you'll excuse me, I just remembered something very important that I need to do. Goodbye, Jennifer.
Jennifer: What's in that briefcase?
Sami: No. No, I can't believe it. I won't. I mean, I know Austin is angry, and he has a reason to be, but to say that he never wants to see me again ever? You can't just love someone with your whole heart and then let it all go over nothing!
Marlena: I doubt that it was nothing, Sami.
Roman: Sami, you and Austin spent a very long time in that bride room while we were supposed to be having a wedding.
Sami: I can't talk about it. It hurts too much.
Marlena: Sami, we understand that, but eventually daddy and I have to know what happened, why Austin called off the wedding. If we don't know, we can't help you, honey.
Sami: I don't want to talk about it, Mom, okay? Just -- I just want to go home.
[Knock on door]
Marlena: I'll get it. I'll get it. Oh.
Sami: Oh, will. Hi, sweetie.
Shawn: Uh... Austin said he's -- he's not marrying Sami. And Will here, he wants to know why.
Will: Yeah, Mommy, why?
Kate: Ahh! It's not here!
Lucas: It's got to be. It's got to be.
Kate: Lucas, we have searched every square inch of this place. You had to have dropped it somewhere else.
Lucas: No, didn't. I couldn't have.
Kate: Then where is it? Where is it, Lucas?
Lucas: I don't know, I don't know. Just let me think, all right? Let me think for a second. Roman and Marlena brought Sami back after Austin walked out, and --
Kate: Well, what if one of them has it?
Lucas: We would have known by now.
Kate: Well, what if they don't know what they have?
Lucas: Maybe they know what they have, and they're just waiting to torpedo us. I could get full custody of Will if I could just get my hands on that damn tape!
Kate: Well, we will. We have to. We have to.
Lucas: All right, let's just keep looking. You're right. Let's just keep looking.
Kate: No, no, no, listen, we have wasted enough time here.
Lucas: What are you talking about?
Kate: Come on. I have an idea.
Brandon: Hello, operator, would you please ring Nicole Walker's room? Hey, wait a second.
Lucas: Uh, help you, sir?
Brandon: Yeah. I think you dropped this.
Lucas: Thank you. Thank you very much.
Brandon: She's not there? No. No message. Thanks.
Brandon: Why didn't you listen to me, Samantha? Why'd you have to go for the wrong guy? Well, have a nice life. I plan to.
Man: What was up with that? Why would she tell us they wanted us down there when they didn't?
Man #2: She and that Benjy, they were playing some kind of game with us.
Man: They wanted to clean this bridal room for some reason and they didn't do diddly.
Man #2: Yeah, well, at least we found this thing before they got here. Maybe whoever lost it will give me a reward for finding it.
Man: Tell you what. I'll give you 5 bucks for it right now.
Man #2: Make it $10, and it's yours.
Sami: Will, I want to thank you for being so good and so brave and patient with mommy. I really appreciate it. And you know what? Uncle Austin and I are going to see to it that you get a special present as a reward for being so good. How does that sound? Maybe that skateboard that you've been wanting.
Will: Yeah! Does that mean Uncle Austin's coming back?
Sami: Oh, you bet he is. Uncle Austin and I are going to get married, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, okay? I promise you that.
Marlena: You know what? Maybe we should talk about this some other time. Hmm?
Roman: I'm worried about her, Pop. She's losing touch with reality.
Marlena: All right. Now it's getting time to head on home, and we'll have a ride on John's plane. Think you'd like to go in the pilot's cabin? Would that be fun?
Will: Yeah!
Marlena: I bet you're eager to get home and see all your friends, aren't you?
Will: And Daddy?
Sami: What about him?
Shawn: When Austin said goodbye, he promised Will could be with his daddy.
Will: Is it true, Mommy? When can I go see Daddy?
Jack: The briefcase? I'm just holding it to -- as I would any other briefcase. It's just a briefcase, after all, just a plain old no-nonsense --
Jennifer: But you're not holding it. You're clutching it. You're clutching it like you have nuclear codes in it.
Jack: Fine. You don't want me to clutch it? I'll hold it away from me if that's what you'd like. Is that how you'd like it?
Jennifer: You know what? You can hold that thing however you want to hold it. You could put ketchup on it and eat it, for all I care, but I'm telling you, don't involve me in whatever's going on here, okay?
Jack: I'd be glad to.
Jennifer: Oh, then there is a scheme! Jack Deveraux! Okay, okay, you know what? You just self-destruct. That is fine by me.
Jack: Just like you're doing with Brandon.
Jennifer: What I do with Brandon is my business.
Jack: Fine. Fine. Just remember that I'm not alone, either. I won't go into the details regarding last night, but suffice to say it was... intense.
Jennifer: Oh, yeah, yeah. It was so intense, Jack, that you slept with your clothes on. Okay! You know what? I'll make a deal with you. I will avoid you the rest of the time that we are in Las Vegas as long as you avoid me, okay?
Jack: Fine. If that's what you want, that's what you'll get.
Jennifer: Fine. I am going to enjoy the rest of my time here with my date.
Jack: I need to get rid of this suitcase so I can brood in peace.
Man: Check again. The guy's name is Dever-ox. D-e-v-e-r-a-u-X.
Man #2: Sir, once again, there's just no one registered under that name.
Man: When we find this Dever-ox, I want him on the rocks, as in on ice. As in dead like a flounder and sleeping with the fish.
Chauncey: I'm going to enjoy this one.
Man: Oh, you and me both.
Victor: I thought I'd let you know the reason I don't want you flying with me. It's because I want to spend some time alone with Philip. I'm sure you understand.
Nicole: Of course.
Philip: Oh. Hey, what's up?
Nicole: I wish I knew. Have a safe trip. I'll see you both back in Salem.
Victor: No, no, my dear. You won't see me in Salem or anywhere else.
Philip: What was that, Dad? Did you say something?
Victor: Nothing, son. Nothing at all.
Marlena: Oh, John. Funny reception. For some reason, my cell phone has been dropping calls. We're just checking out now. Honey, how's Belle? Of course she is. We'll have some time on the plane, okay? Yeah. I'll talk to you soon. Bye. Shawn... is luggage being brought down?
Shawn: Yeah, well, Caroline's up there supervising, making sure the bellhops don't forget a thing. Poor girl.
Sami: Austin! Hey, Austin! Austin, wait!
Man: Thank you, sir.
Philip: Look, Dad, Nicole told me about the broken engagement. If you need to talk about it, I'm here for you, okay? I know how hard it is to lose someone you love.
Victor: Nicole was a mistake. Now I have to learn to live in this world without her.
Philip: Learn to -- Dad, you've lived pretty much your whole life without Nicole. Dad, are you planning on doing something to her?
Brandon: Nicole.
Nicole: Hi.
Brandon: Finally. I've been looking for you. Oh, excuse me. Okay, who goes first?
Nicole: Uh, how about whoever enjoyed yesterday more? You know, the whole non-weddingness of it all.
Brandon: Now why would I enjoy Samantha's pain?
Nicole: Hmm. I suppose it would be in bad taste for me to admit that I wanted to cheer when Austin walked out. Or could be worse. You could be holding Sami's hand right now, wiping her crocodile tears. It's happened before.
Brandon: Not this time. Okay? Samantha's going to deal with this one on her own. I'm here with Jennifer. And we're going to have a good time.
Nicole: Huh. I know you two stayed over together. Anything to, uh... [Clicks tongue] report?
Brandon: No.
Nicole: Will there be anything to report in the future?
Brandon: There could be.
Nicole: Okay. Well, I hope it all works out for you. But still, I have to say, I'm worried that Sami will somehow wrap her tentacles around you again now that Austin's gone.
Brandon: No, I --
Brandon: How are you feeling about Austin splitting?
Nicole: Ugh. Maybe you were right. Maybe I had feelings for him that I didn't want to admit. Austin was a true friend.
Brandon: Was? You mean you're going to give up on him?
Nicole: No, I'm not.
Greta: Jack? What's the matter?
Lucas: Now what are we going to do?
Kate: Would you patient?
Lucas: You told me you had another plan.
Kate: I'm thinking, okay?
Lucas: Well, you better hurry, 'cause I got bad news. Roman and everybody else, they're in the lobby right now.
Kate: Oh, great. The last thing I need to see is his smug face.
Lucas: Why don't we just kill some time here, all right? Let's just play the slots and clear our heads or something.
Kate: Yeah, that's a good idea. Oh, God, I just can't believe we blew this. You brilliantly, you secretly record Sami admitting every appalling thing she's ever done to us in chilling detail, and we lose the tape.
Lucas: Well, it's got to be somewhere. It couldn't have just disappeared, right? [Bell ringing]
Kate: Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes! Oh, I love that sound.
Lucas: Great, what did you get, 20 bucks? You might be able to buy a cheeseburger with that.
Kate: Oh, sweetie, it is not the money. It's a sign, okay? Our luck has changed.
Lucas: How? And why are you smiling like that?
Kate: Come on.
Sami: Your luck has changed, all right, Kate -- for the worse.
Greta: Jack, come on, snap out of it. What's wrong with you?
Jack: They're going to kill me!
Greta: What? What are you talking about, they're going to kill you?
Jack: This!
Brandon: Nicky, wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on a second. So what are you saying? Are you going to make a play for Austin? Down the line, I mean?
Nicole: We'll keep in touch, I'm sure, for business reasons, if nothing else. Why are you so interested in my relationship with Austin? It's not like you ever liked the guy.
Brandon: No, but I would --
Nicole: But you'd rather see me involved with him than Victor Kiriakis.
Brandon: Well, can't deny that.
Nicole: Well, don't worry. It's over between Victor and me. We ended it.
Brandon: Really?
Nicole: For good.
Brandon: Was it, uh, amicable?
Nicole: Well, I didn't screw him in business or try to kill him, if that's what you mean.
Brandon: That's a relief -- I think.
Nicole: Look, don't worry about me, okay? People break up. It's no big deal. It's not like he's going to come after me or anything. Look, I have to rush to my plane, all right? So I will see you when you get back.
Brandon: Be careful, huh? And if you need me, call.
Nicole: You are worried, you sweet thing. Listen, when it comes down to it, if Victor thinks he can hurt me, well, I know how to hurt him, and I'll do it, too. You take care, Brandon, okay? I love you.
Brandon: I love you, too.
Nicole: Bye.
Kate: It's a tape recorder. A small one. It belonged to my son, and it's really important to him, so I was wondering perhaps if someone had turned it in to the front desk. It would be such a relief.
Man: In fact, the cleaning crew did turn in a mini tape recorder.
Kate: Really? Oh, that's wonderful.
Man: Yeah, we tried to contact Mr. Reed, actually, but he'd already checked out, so I took the liberty of sending it to him via overnight courier. Should be there tomorrow morning.
Kate: Delivered to where?
Man: To his home address in Salem.
Kate: Oh, yes, of course. Oh, thank you. I'll let him know. We have to get out of here right away.
Lucas: He said it wouldn't be there until tomorrow.
Kate: No, no, no, I want to be in Salem to intercept it before it's delivered.
Roman: They sure were in a hurry.
Marlena: Yeah. I wonder where Sami is. I'm getting a bit worried. She was disoriented, but I was hoping nothing happened to her.
Sami: Hey, Mom, Dad, let's get a move on.
Marlena: There you are. Are you all right?
Sami: Oh, better, yeah. I had some coffee. I'm feeling perky. So, anyway, how fast does John's plane fly? Is it faster than a commercial jet, or what?
Roman: Why all these questions, Sami? What's going on?
Marlena: Honey, come on, we're not in a rush.
Sami: Oh, yeah, we are.
Marlena: It's not a race.
Sami: It is a race, and I'm going to win. Yep, I am going to take the gold.
